Chapter 1

It was the year 2020. The wave of becoming a content creator had already died down, but Chen Yu, who was a slow-witted oddball, only thought of becoming one now.
After doing some simple research online, Chen Yu decided to start his journey of being a technology content creator on Bilibili.
He dreamt that many large organizations would come to him, begging for collaboration and gifting him many technological products. He would be able to earn money too.
However, reality gave him a smack in the face.
After spending all his savings on a camera and notebook that cost more than 3,000 yuan in total to do two unboxing videos, and all he got in return was a measly 56 views and 0 comments.
This made Chen Yu go ballistic.
Other UPs had at least a hundred thousand or even millions of views! Why did he have only 56? (TL notes: In China, content creators are known as UP, short for uploader.)
This was so unfair!
Chen Yus impotent rage lasted for two days before he decided to give up on being a content creator. He deleted both videos, which he found too painful to look back on, and listed both the camera and laptop on Xian Yu to break even. (TL notes: Xian Yu is a Chinese platform that second-hand items are listed on.)
He was already 18. He should just focus on his studies like an honest person.
However, just when Chen Yu had contacted the buyer and was ready to sell the items away, a WeChat notification popped up on his mobile phone screen.
[Transdimensional Marketing sent you a friend request.]
Mm?
Slightly shocked, Chen Yu accepted the request subconsciously and sent a message over. Who are you?
[Transdimensional Marketing: Take a guess.]
Guess your grandma. Chen Yu removed the user from his contacts without hesitation.
After the failed entrepreneurship attempt, he was currently emotionally unstable. Thus, the burning fire in Chen Yu was easily fueled.
[Transdimensional Marketing sent you a friend request.]
[Transdimensional Marketing sent you a friend request.]
[Transdimensional Marketing sent you]
And a bunch of friend requests started popping up on Chen Yus WeChat right afterwards. It got on Chen Yus nerves. He was ready to block and report the other party, but an idea crossed his mind. Why dont I take out my anger on him? Thus, Chen Yu accepted the request and typed his friendly message out furiously.
However, before he could send it, Chen Yu was struck dumb by the new message from the other party.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Hello, are you the UP who does unboxing videos on technological products on Bilibili?]
Chen Yu reread the message repeatedly, making sure that he had read it correctly, and Chen Yu proved himself right. With trembling hands, he deleted the friendly message in the text input bar and typed another reply.
[Chen Yu: Are you a subscriber that watches my videos?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. I saw your video on Bilibili and contacted you through the WeChat ID you left on your bio.]
[Chen Yu: My pleasure!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are you interested in advertising my companys products?]
What?
Is money coming to me right now?!
An advertising agency?!!
Those three words echoed in Chen Yus head. Excitement caused his breathing to become heavy and rapid
As the Chinese saying goes, Good wine needs no bush.
And Real gold will shine one day.
So what if Im not on the recommendation page or there are no likes? Theres someone who discovered my talents at the end of the day!
Huff
In high spirits, Chen Yu took a deep breath and shut his eyes, calming himself down. Thirty seconds later, he looked up, eyes glowing with excitement as he typed a reply.
[Chen Yu: Im interested!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats great.]
[Chen Yu: So, what are the products that you would like me to advertise? Mobile phone? Tablet? Educational technology device?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Those are just the basics.]
[Chen Yu: There are better products?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, we mainly advertise high-tech products, and we hope to work with you for a long period of time.]
Chen Yu gulped and sent a reply.
[Chen Yu: Are you serious?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. But we would firstly have a one-month probation period. If the results are good, we will extend the term.]
Once again, Chen Yu lost his calm that he had regained with much difficulty. Grabbing his mobile phone tightly, he pounced onto his bed, rolling all over it repeatedly as if he were insane. He sat up right after, pondering for sometime before sending a question over.
[Chen Yu: Why choose a newbie like myself when there are so many well-known UPs around?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Ive tried, but to no avail. Everyone blocked me after receiving the list of products that we want to advertise. Thus, Im trying my luck on newbies, hoping that they would be easier to negotiate with.]
Blocked? Gradually, Chen Yu calmed down.
Dont tell me they are adult products?
[Chen Yu: Are they adult products?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There are some, but not mainly. We advertise high-tech products mainly. It may have been because of the price we offer. It might be too low compared to what they want.]
Chen Yu was relieved to see the message. He started typing on his mobile phone speedily.
[Chen Yu: Thats fine, Im new, so Ill accept any decent price. May I know the price that your company offers?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Our company does not pay for collaborations.]
[Chen Yu: ???]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We only gift our partners the products for advertising.]
No wonder!
Chen Yu suddenly understood.
No wonder youre being blocked by famous UPs!
Which famous UP would advertise for you when they would not be getting a single cent and the product is all they get in return?
Upon knowing the reason, the excitement in Chen Yu had largely died down. He thought long and hard before deciding to accept the offer.
I might not earn anything, but I am getting my hands on technological products for free. It wouldnt be a loss either.
I could sell them off after Im done with them. In that way, I would be earning too.
[Chen Yu: I get it. Im willing to work with your company.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thank you so much! Lets sign the contract now.]
[Chen Yu: Hold on.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes?]
[Chen Yu: I want to take a look at the companys products. Ill only sign when Im sure that everythings alright.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No problem. Ill send it over right now. Please take note. You can ask me if you have any doubts.]
[Chen Yu: Okay.]
Chen Yu lay down on the bed, holding onto his mobile phone as he patiently waited for the list to be sent over.
Two minutes later, a Word document was sent to him.
Here it is.
Chen Yu opened the document in a hurry, but the first product had him jumping out of his bed in utter disbelief.
[Transdimensional Marketings product list:

Holding his mobile phone, Chen Yus hands trembled.
This
Whaton earth are all these?

Chen Yu was flabbergasted. After a long pause, he closed the Word document and sat down on his bed. The joy in him was instantly replaced with anger.
[Chen Yu: Are you playing tricks on me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: What do you mean?]
[Chen Yu: I may be a newbie, but theres no need for you to humiliate me. Do you have a grudge against me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im sorry, but I do not understand your words. Are you not satisfied with my companys products?]
[Chen Yu: Oh no, Im extremely satisfied with the products! Extremely satisfied.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats great. Shall we sign the contract right now?]
[Chen Yu: Of course. Where are you? Lets have it signed in person.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im sorry, but we arent in the same spacetime, thus Im afraid its impossible for us to meet up and discuss it. But my company will mail the contract to you through express delivery, and once youve signed on the designated page, it will come into effect immediately.]
Chen Yu:
[Transdimensional Marketing: Sir, are you still there?]
[Chen Yu: Yes. Send it over then. Ill wait for it.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Ill send the contract over now. One moment please.]
[Chen Yu: Sure.]
After sending the message over, Chen Yu exited WeChat and went on Baidu to search a series of questions.
How do I track a senders address for express delivery?
How much does it cost to hire a hacker to track down a WeChat IP?
Is it legal to slash a person when I have just turned 18?
After a round of fruitless searches, Chen Yu blocked the user on WeChat and threw his mobile phone to the side, lying straight on his bed.
He needed to calm down.
This was a dangerous society.
The journey to becoming famous was tough!
He was a new, unknown UP who only had two videos uploaded and yet he was being harassed by a madman already. How hard must the famous content creators lives be?
Brother.
Just when Chen Yu was sulking, the door to his room swung open suddenly. A cute little girl who was about five to six years old walked in. Mommy said its time to eat, she said in a cute manner.
Mm. Chen Yu hummed softly as an agreement. He wasnt in the mood to talk.
Bang!
The little girl left, shutting the door with a bang.
So not cute. Chen Yu sighed. Your brother is upset, yet you did not even comfort him.
Shortly, his door swung open again, revealing the head of a girl who was about eight to nine years old. Brother, time to eat. Time to eat!
Ah! Chen Yu furrowed his eyebrows and waved his hand. I heard you.
Bang!
The girl left, shutting the door with a bang too.
Chen Yu sat up and turned on his mobile phone. He went onto Xian Yu, selling his items away. Just as he got off his bed, the door to his room swung open once again.
This time, a teenage girl in a sailor dress and black stockings walked in. She was about fourteen to fifteen years old.
Brother! Time to eat! Mom is angry!
Chen Yu:
Did you hear me?
Im very angry too! Chen Yu pulled his hair. Why did she give birth to so many siblings?!
Are you talking about me? the teenager asked, looking displeased.
No. I meant Second Eldest.
Mm? As soon as Chen Yu finished his words, a small head peeked through the door, wearing a poker face.
I meant Third Eldest. Chen Yu changed his words immediately.
Huh? A smaller head popped through the door. She wore a poker face too.
Its all my fault. Lets go have lunch. Chen Yu facepalmed.
Hanging his head low, Chen Yu followed his younger sisters to the kitchen obediently with a complicated expression on his face.
Yes. He had three younger sisters.
Chen Yike, 14 years old. The eldest of the three.
Chen Erke, 9 years old. The middle of the three.
Chen Sanke, 5 years old. The youngest of the three.
Having three lovely younger sisters made Chen Yu once suspect that he was the luckiest guy on earth.
However, his family addressed Chen Yike as Eldest, Chen Erke as Second Eldest, and Chen Sanke as Third Eldest. As for Chen Yu, the eldest child of the family He was just known as Chen Yu.
The obvious difference in treatment proved that he might be adopted.
Chen Yu entered the narrow kitchen and sat down at the dining table. Watching his family members squeeze in at the dining table, he picked up his bowl silently and reached for his plate with his pair of chopsticks.
We have too many members in this family.
Mm?
After grabbing a few pieces of vegetable, Chen Yu frowned upon noticing that his younger sisters plates were brimming with meat while all he had on his plate were vegetables with a few shreds of meat sitting on top.
Bang!
This is too much! How could you be this biased? Chen Yu slammed his chopsticks on the table.
Your younger sisters are growing. They need more food, Mother Chen explained.
Can you come up with something else? How many years have you been using that excuse?
Eat and eat and eat. Young lad, are you that hungry? Father Chen said unhappily and gave Chen Yu a few pieces of meat from his plate. Eat up. You cant study well but you can eat well.
Chen Yu:
Brother~ Chen Sanke scooped up a spoon of meat from her plate clumsily and gave it to Chen Yu. I cant finish them.
Little sis
Seeing this, Chen Erke gave Chen Yu a few pieces of meat too. Brother, I cant finish it either; its too greasy.
Good sister
Chen Yu was so moved. He then turned to Chen Yike subconsciously.
Hah Chen Yike sighed and took Chen Yus plate, transferring all the meat on Chen Yus plate onto hers. Big Brother is the best after all.
Chen Yu:
After having a simple yet extraordinary lunch with his family, Chen Yu returned to his room. He immediately saw a folder lying on the floor. It was white in color, striking in contrast to the brown floor.
Whats that?
Chen Yu stared blankly for a moment before picking up the folder. He opened it and took out a thick stack of documents.
Product Advertisement Contract?!
These striking words were printed on the first page.
He flipped open the second page immediately. Indeed, the signature of Transdimensional Marketing Company could be seen on party As signature column.
What the heck? How did this get delivered here?
Chen Yu was dumbfounded. When he regained his senses after a short pause, he hurried to his window, doing a thorough check on it.
It was locked from the inside. It was impossible for anyone to enter from the windows.
Furthermore, he lived on the nineteenth floor.
Somebody has been hiding in my room?
Chills ran down Chen Yus spine. He threw the contract away immediately and grabbed the arm grip bar on his side. He searched all around the room, but there was nobody to be found.
Could it be that one of my younger sisters found out that I am secretly a content creator and played a prank on me?
Placing the arm grip bar down, Chen Yu rubbed his chin and started to think hard.
During lunchtime, all three of his younger sisters were at the dining table, and he finished the food first. So if it was a prank by one of his sisters, they must have left it here secretly when they came to call him out for lunch.
Chen Yike was the biggest suspect!
She had a mobile phone!
And she loved pranking others with lame pranks! She was extremely violent too!
Chen Erke might know how to type using a mobile phone and was a wolf in sheeps clothing, but she was bad with technology and it was impossible for her to come up with such a complicated contract.
It definitely wasnt Chen Sanke either. How could it be her when shes an idiot who thinks 2+3 was equal to 6?
However, he couldnt eliminate the possibility that Second Eldest might work hand in hand with the Eldest to prank him.
After coming to the conclusion, Chen Yu picked up the contract that was lying on the floor and left his room for Chen Yikes room.
Creak!
He pushed the door open, ready to question Chen Yike with the contract, but he nearly bit his tongue.
Without giving any regard to her image, Chen Yike was picking and sniffing her feet ferociously.
Chen Yu:
Chen Yike:
Chen Yu:
Chen Yike picked up the scissors on the table. Brother, cmere.
Calm down I saw nothing

Its not her.
Chen Yu left Chen Yikes room covering his bruised, left eye. He turned around, and he could see the couch in the living room.
It was Chen Erkes bed.
The Chen family lived in a flat that consisted of only two bedrooms. Chen Yus parents and Chen Sanke shared the master bedroom while Chen Yu got the guest room to himself, leaving Chen Erke with no choice but to sleep on the couch in the living room. Even Chen Yikes room was just a separate part of the living room.
Chen Erke was currently lying on the couch on her stomach, doodling on a piece of torn cardboard with a small piece of crayon while swinging her legs back and forth.
It obviously wasnt Chen Erke. She was already so poor, how could she possibly have the money to print anything?
Dad and Mom arent that childish either.
Chen Yu made his way back to his room and shut the door. Staring at the contract in his hand, Chen Yu hesitated for quite some time before picking up the mobile phone that was on his bed to unblock Transdimensional Marketing on WeChat.
[Chen Yu: Youre the one that placed the contract in my room, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Sir, youre finally back! Why did you block me just now?]
[Chen Yu: Dont try to change the subject! Im asking you; how did you manage to get the contract in my room?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Through express delivery.]
[Chen Yu: Do you think Im uneducated? Ill report you to the police!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Why?]
[Chen Yu: Trespassing! Its an offense!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Our company always abides by the law.]
[Chen Yu: Dont bullshit me! How did you leave the document in my room? Tell me or Ill make a police report right now!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Sir, I have told you: through express delivery!]
[Chen Yu: Which express delivery is that? Its so powerful that it can even pass through walls!?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Transdimensional Express Delivery.]
[Chen Yu: Great! Stubborn, huh! You just wait!]
He exited WeChat, ignoring the other partys explanation, and picked up the document to look for his father.
Such a terrifying matter had just taken place at home. This was a serious matter.
He had to make this clear to the adults.
Buzz!
Just when he was about to pull open the door, a metallic buzz rang from behind him!
Chen Yu turned around in an instant and his jaws gradually dropped.
A spatial distortion could be seen taking place in the middle of his room slowly. Suddenly, a white spiraling hole appeared, and a white folder dropped out of it!
It was the same as the folder that Chen Yu found in his room previously!
Buzz
After a minute, the hole disappeared into thin air, and everything went back to normal.
It was as if nothing had taken place, except that there was a folder lying nicely on the floor.
Do Do I have a fever?
Sluggishly, Chen Yu felt his forehead. Like a walking zombie, Chen Yu walked to the folder, bending down stiffly to pick it up. He opened it and took out a document.
Product Advertisement Contract
The same words were printed on the first page.
I really have a fever
Outside the window, white, fluffy clouds drifted past the clear blue sky.
Like the clouds, Chen Yus body felt lighter and lighter.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Chen Yu eventually came back to his senses. With trembling hands, he unlocked his mobile phone and entered WeChat. He opened up the chatroom with Transdimensional Marketing and typed a message in the text input bar with much difficulty.
[Chen Yu: You sent over another contract?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Sir! You finally replied! Yes, my company thought that you might be unhappy with the previous contract, so we have re-drafted another one for you. Are you happy with this? This is the best I can offer you within my ability.]
Thud!
Losing his grip, Chen Yus mobile phone slipped from his trembling hand and fell to the ground.
Six hours later, the light of day drained away gradually, giving way to darkness.
The door to Chen Yus room swung open, revealing Chen Sanke. Brother! she called with her cute voice, waving her hands. Mommy said its dinner time!
Okay. Im coming.
Bang!
Chen Sanke left, slamming the door hard.
Despite being so young, her arm strength was so terrifying
Chen Yu sat on his bed cross-legged. He put a pause to the conversation between him and Transdimensional Marketing.
[Chen Yu: I get it. Give me an hour to think through this.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay, Mr. Chen.]
Chen Yu turned off his mobile phone and picked up the document that was placed on the side of his bed. He read through every page thoroughly, not missing out on any words. He had already lost count of the number of times he had reread the contract through the entire afternoon.
After conversing with Transdimensional Marketing on WeChat for six long hours, Chen Yu finally understood what was going on in general and how bizarre it was.
In short, Transdimensional Marketing was an advertising agency established in the future that advertised products to audiences of different spacetimes.
For example, the Coca-Cola company in 2020 would be advertised in 1820 so as to allow those of the 1820 timeline to learn about it. When Coca-Cola was finally established in 1886, it would already have a customer base because of those who knew about it since 1820. This was the aim of different spacetime advertising.
Due to time paradoxes, even if people found out about Coca-Cola since 1820, it was impossible for them to create or find a substitution for Coca-Cola. They could only wait until 1886, when the founder of Coca-Cola established the brand. Anyone who tried to create the Coca-Cola brand before 1886 would fail without a doubt.
As a famous researcher once said, it was impossible to go back in time and kill ones grandfather because ones existence proved that his or her grandfather was alive. This was the idea of a time paradox.
Not only that though, it also included the parallel universes theory, many-worlds theory, and plenty of other confusing knowledge. It was extremely professional!
Even if the other party tried his best to explain it in detail to Chen Yu numerous times, he was still unable to understand what was going on.
But that technical knowledge wasnt important to Chen Yu. All he needed to know was that the person who contacted him on WeChat was a salesperson of an advertising agency that was set up in the future. This specific salesperson was in charge of the spacetime Chen Yu was in.
In summary, this was a new, epoch-making, impactful, and beyond-time advertising method that sent chills running down ones spine.
If golden opportunities were to be described as a free lunch falling down from the sky, then Chen Yu might have gotten a banquet Moreover, it was a banquet that many content creators on Bilibili had rejected.
However, being a banquet, there were bound to be inedible dishes that were hidden amongst the good ones. He might die from them if he wasnt careful.
Brother! Time to eat!
The door to his room swung open again. Chen Erke knocked on the door frame unhappily. Hurry up! Why do I have to invite you out every single day?
Alright! Alright! Im coming!
Chen Yu placed the document aside and jumped off his bed. He followed Chen Erke to the kitchen while weighing the pros and cons of the cooperation.
According to the Transdimensional Advertising Law from the future, the contract was exclusive to him. Thus, he would be the only person who could advertise and give reviews of technological products from the future within his timeline if he chose to take up the offer.
The benefits of taking up this job were evident: he would become an instant hit worldwide due to the futuristic products that he would be reviewing!
However, huge troubles would come with it.
If he were to do a review on a spaceship or something, there might be a chance that, as soon as he woke up the next morning, his house would be mobbed by an ocean of fully armed fellow countrymen asking for it

Chen Yu walked into the kitchen and sat on his seat. He ate his dinner silently, appearing to be absent-minded.
Noticing that Chen Yu was acting weirdly, Chen Sanke pondered with her head tilted. She then took the drumstick that she had taken a bite from and placed it in Chen Yus bowl.
Ah? Dumbfounded, Chen Yu looked up at Chen Sanke.
Brother Big Brother wants to have meat. Chen Sanke waved her oily hands.
Looking down, Chen Yu took a glance at the drumstick in his bowl and then the dinner on the table.
Todays dinner did not consist of any meat except for the drumstick in his bowl. Not a single slice of meat could be seen on his parents, Chen Yikes, or Chen Erkes plate.
Chen Yu felt bad instantly. He picked up the drumstick and placed it back in Chen Sankes bowl. You can have it. I do not like drumsticks.
Do not like drumsticks? Chen Sanke repeated dazedly. She turned to Chen Erke on her side, who had her eyes glued onto the drumstick while licking her lips. Second Sis, you can have it!
I dont want what you have taken a bite of. Chen Erke frowned.
Nobody likes to eat. But I like to eat, Chen Sanke mumbled and took a bite of the drumstick, munching on it happily.
Mrs. Chen watched the whole scene, not feeling any emotion.
This was her family. She was long used to, or rather, numbed to leading a non-affluent life.
After taking a few mouthfuls of her food and a sip of her vegetable soup, Mrs. Chen muttered, Breadwinner, we need to pay the rental bills next month, on the first.
So soon? Mr. Chen asked, slightly startled.
We have always paid the rent every three months. Mrs. Chen wiped the oil stain off the corner of her mouth clean with her hands. Second Eldests mental abacus lessons fees are due next month too. Schools going to start soon, so we also need money for the childrens books and new clothes for the changing season.
Mr. Chen placed his chopsticks down.
I also heard that heating supplies will come in early this year too. Its not cheap, we need to prepare it early. Mrs. Chen went on. Earlier on, you said that your classmates are going to pay you a visit. Its going to be another expenditure. Try to cancel it
Not wanting to hear more about his familys trivial problems, Chen Yu finished his bowl of rice in a hurry and stood up to leave the dining room.
Youre not having another bowl? Mrs. Chen furrowed her brows.
Mm, nope. Im not hungry.
Waving his hands, Chen Yu left the kitchen for his room. He sprawled out all across his bed, staring at the dry paint flakes scattered across the ceiling. He shut his eyes, allowing his brain to take a break.
Creak
The door to his room opened up slowly, bringing along a creaking noise that gave him goosebumps.
Chen Yu looked up to see Chen Sanke walking into his room, holding onto the half-eaten drumstick. Brother! Have meat!
Chen Yu:
Eat! Chen Sanke said and took a small bite of the drumstick and passed it to Chen Yu unwillingly while munching the meat.
I said that I dont want it. Chen Yu pointed to the door. Get out.
Youre not going to have it?
Out.
Uh
Out.
Chen Sanke stood on the spot. She blinked her eyes and left the room.
Bang!
She banged the door shut, causing a piece of flaky paint to fall to the floor.
Hah
Chen Yu sighed and sat up. He pulled out his mobile phone and opened up WeChat, typing on his screen furiously.
[Chen Yu: Are you there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes! Have you made up your mind, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: Yes. I am willing to work with you.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats great! Please sign using a black pen on the second page of the document.]
[Chen Yu: But I do have a small request.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please.]
[Chen Yu: I need your help to keep my identity hidden during the advertising process. Is that possible?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Certainly. Some content creators from other spacetimes have a similar request too. But let me remind you that revealing your identity will boost your societal status and popularity and also helps you to advertise better. Are you sure you wish to conceal your identity?]
Nonsense. Whats the use of having such a high status and popularity if Im just a puppet? Chen Yu curled his mouth. He stared at the screen, typing quickly.
[Chen Yu: Im sure. I do not want to get my private life involved in this.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay, Ill rewrite a contract for you.]
[Chen Yu: Okay.]
As soon as he sent the message over, a white spiraling hole formed in the middle of his room instantly. A white folder dropped out of the hole.
Thud.
The folder touched the ground. In the quiet room, the thud was particularly clear.
After being in a daze for two seconds, Chen Yu immediately sent his inquiry over.
[Chen Yu: Did you send another document over?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes.]
[Chen Yu: But you said youre going to make a new one! How could it be that fast?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, we spent three hours doing so. However, Im able to send it to any time in your spacetime according to my preference, which is a second after our conversation.]
It suddenly dawned on Chen Yu.
[Chen Yu: I see, transdimensional travel truly is magical. But it took you a while when you sent the first set of documents over though.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I was unclear on your location the first time, so to play it safe, it took me a few minutes more.]
[Chen Yu: I get it. Ill take a look at the contract first. If its all fine, Ill sign.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay, Mr. Chen! Feel free to consult me if you have any queries.]
Chen Yu jumped off his bed to pick up the folder. He opened it, took out the contract, and started reading thoroughly.
When he came across a condition on page 7 that had him re-reading for a number of times, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and contacted Transdimensional Marketing.
[Chen Yu: Page 7, clause four; what do you mean by all profits made will be donated to charity anonymously if the other party chooses to not reveal his or her identity?'']
[Transdimensional Marketing: Exactly what it looks like. Since you want to remain anonymous, your bank account cannot be bound to any of your accounts on the different platforms. So, the views, shares, and donations, and other profits earned for your videos would be unrelated to you. We will donate it to a charity in your spacetime.]
[Chen Yu: Cant you just transfer the profits to me if I choose to be anonymous? I bet its easy for you guys to do that.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We could, Mr. Chen, but we wont.]
[Chen Yu: Why?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Because it would be illegal to do so. We would be going against the Earth Alliances criminal law of Article 127 on money laundering. Thus, you will have to give up all the profit if you choose to remain anonymous.]
Chen Yu held his phone tightly. He turned around, scanning the document before sending over a reply.
[Chen Yu: Youre trying to make me reveal my identity, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, revealing your identity would help you advertise better. Its for your own good.]
[Chen Yu: To boost your sales?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It doesnt clash with your interests.]
[Chen Yu: Okay.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: So you have changed your mind?!]
[Chen Yu: Im even more certain of my decision now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: I will keep my identity a secret! A total secret!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]

[Chen Yu: I will keep my identity a secret! A total secret!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Alright, we respect the decision of our partners. But Mr. Chen, do take a look at page 9, clause 7.
With his mobile phone in his left hand, Chen Yu flipped to page 9 quickly with his right hand and did as told.
[Chen Yu: Im not allowed to sell the products gifted to me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, the products you receive from our company are only for private use. Selling, auctioning, exchanging, and any other forms of transaction are not allowed. However, if you receive any earnings while making use of it yourself, its allowed.]
Chen Yu frowned immediately.
[Chen Yu: Cant I give them to my friends and family as a present?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Just gifting is fine, but if giving a gift results in monetary gain, status, or anything of that nature, it will be considered a beneficial exchange. You will be blacklisted by our company and the contract would be terminated immediately. If it is a serious matter, you would be deemed to have gone against the law.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, do you still wish to keep your identity hidden?]
[Chen Yu: Damn it.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We have already made another contract for you if you decide to change your mind. Please reconsider your decisions.]
[Chen Yu: That wont be necessary! My identity will remain a secret!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. (^_^)]
Bang!
Chen Yu smacked his mobile phone onto the study table. He sat at the study table, studying the contract.
A few moments later, Chen Yu finished reading the contract, and he had also made sure that he had no other questions. He then reached out for the pen holder, taking out a black ball pen, and signed his name on the second page.
[Chen Yu: I signed it. What do I do next?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Place the contract in the folder and seal it. Put it in the wormhole after youre done.]
Buzz!
Right after Chen Yu received the message, a white spiraling hole appeared in Chen Yus room out of nowhere, hanging mid-air.
[Chen Yu: Is it dangerous?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No. A low-grade wormhole cant transport living things. Youre safe for sure.]
Seeing the explanation, Chen Yu slid the contract in the given folder and tried swinging it into the spiraling hole while standing half a meter away from it.
Whoosh!
The folder dropped into the spiraling hole accurately and disappeared without a trace.
The wormhole shrank rapidly, and space within the room returned to its original state.
Chen Yu immediately pulled out his mobile phone and sent a message over.
[Chen Yu: Have you received the contract?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. Theres no problem with it. Mr Chen, we welcome you as our company, Transdimensional Marketings, partner!]
[Chen Yu: What product do you need me to review first? Those on the list that you sent over?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The products listed there are epoch-making products, so its too soon for you to deal with them now. You can only start from the lower-grade products. When you have met the target, your authority will increase, and we can get you better products.]
[Chen Yu: Understood.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I might not have much authority in the company, but I will try my best to get you a good product for you to have a good start.]
[Chen Yu: Will you deliver it through the wormhole too? And when will you do so?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We will deliver the products every Sunday at 9 A.M. You will need to upload your video on every Monday at 9 A.M., and the results of your advertising efficiency will be tabulated every Friday.]
[Chen Yu: What if I fail to meet the target?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youre currently on probation for a month and you will be given four chances. You will review one product every week. If you fail to meet the target twice, then the contract will be terminated.]
[Chen Yu: What happens after I pass the probation period?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We will officially increase your grade and you will have more authority. You would then move forward to doing an international livestream mainly instead of uploading a video on the various platforms . Then you would get actual technological products, like the invisible cloak, mini nuclear bomb, weather remote control, Howls Moving Castle, and many more. If you reach grade A, you might be able to get a Dyson Sphere, Spaceship, Transformer, and many more top-notch products.]
Chen Yu shuddered at the thought of the terror-inducing products.
Not even mentioning a Dyson Sphere, a flying car was good enough to throw the world off its feet.
[Chen Yu: I get it. Its Saturday today, so it starts tomorrow, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay, Ill send over an application now. Edit and upload your videos through this application, and your IP and video codec will be totally hidden.]
The next moment, the other party sent over an application called Transdimensional Marketing Terminal C Hidden Version.
Maximum efficiency.
Chen Yu sent the application to his newly bought laptop immediately and installed the application.
Yes. He had decided to not sell the laptop or camera since it would be coming into use now.
Within 30 seconds, the application was installed. The laptop screen flickered, and a gray interface appeared on his screen instantly.
Three huge blocks could be seen across the screen. From top to bottom: [Profile], which recorded Chen Yus basic information; [Video Editing], which was a video editing tool; and [Accounts], which was an Admin Zone for the different accounts on different platforms.
On the side, there were two columns of small icons for different purposes. Chen Yu spotted a special looking icon on the top left hand corner that was gray in color. There were three words beneath it: Worldwide Livestream. This was obviously the main advertising method he would use in the future after his probation period.
Navigating the mouse, Chen Yu clicked the [Profile] block. The image on the screen changed immediately, and Chen Yus details showed up on the screen.
[Name: Chen Yu]
[Grade: E (Prohibited from Worldwide Livestreaming)]
[Subscribers: 0]
[Main Target: Complete at least two of four missions.]
[Mission 1: Reach 500 viewers and 50 subscribers on the first advertisement.]
Subscribers?
Chen Yu rubbed his chin, pondering. Theres some difficulty in that. I might not be able to reach the desired number of subscribers, but views should be fine.
Exiting the [Profile] page, Chen Yu skipped the [Video Editing] block and opened up the [Accounts] block. He caught the instruction written on the top of the page immediately.
[Please select the website that you are going to use. In order to measure your impactfulness, you are only allowed to choose one during the probation period.]
Just one?
Chen Yu furrowed his brows and navigated through the densely packed icons of different websites. He clicked on Bilibilis icon.
[Do you wish to register a Bilibili account? (You cant reverse this action)]
[Registration is done. Please choose your username.]
[Username Transdimensional Review chosen.]
[Confirm?]
[Confirmed.]
[Registration complete.]
After Chen Yu finished setting up a new Bilibili account, he closed his laptop and plopped down onto his bed, taking out his mobile phone to go onto Bilibili and binge watch review videos of famous content creators, studying their videos.
Being a newbie, Chen Yu lacked the experience and skills to create an eye-catching video and also didnt have the loyal fans that other well-known content creators had, making him fall way behind.
But, there was something that would make him stand out from the rest of them, which was the futuristic products that he would be reviewing.
Thus, outstanding eloquence, graceful scripts, and professional video editing skills were unimportant now. As long as he could bring out the uniqueness of his product, he would be victorious!
There were no other review media that possessed the capital he currently had.
He would capture the worlds eyes with his futuristic technological products!
If he still failed despite having such an advantage, then he was nothing more than trash. The only difficulty he would face would be the livestreams that came after his probation period. The livestreams were going to be a huge test for his eloquence and ability.
Tomorrow, 9 A.M.
After watching a review video, Chen Yus thoughts were all over the place.
He was feeling extremely conflicted too. He was excited about tomorrow, yet nervous about what was in store for him.
His life was going to be thoroughly different from tomorrow onward

The next day, at 6:30 in the morning, Chen Yus eyes rolled open. He picked up his phone, took a glance at the time, and sat up, rubbing his stiff cheeks.
Two and a half more hours to go.
I cant wait anymore!
It had been a restless night for Chen Yu.
He had been consumed by excitement and nervousness the entire night. Chen Yu tossed and turned around his bed for about eight hours, but sleep never found him despite doing so.
Not wanting to stay on his bed, Chen Yu changed into a new set of clothes and went out of his room to wash up. He walked to the living room and sat down in front of the couch next to Chen Erke, who was deep asleep. He stared out of the window at the scenery blankly.
It was Sunday today, thus Chen Yus younger sisters didnt need to wake up for school, and Mrs. Chen didnt need to make breakfast in the early morning either.
Other than Chen Erkes even breathing, the living room was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
In the stillness, Chen Yu was at a loss about what to do for a short moment.
Creak.
About ten minutes later, the door to the master bedroom opened up. Mrs. Chen walked out of the room, yawning. She looked slightly shocked when she saw Chen Yu. Why are you up so early?
Because I woke up.
Did you game overnight? Mrs. Chen questioned doubtfully, taking a look at Chen Yus haggard face.
Chen Yu:
Ill go and make breakfast. Go wake Eldest and Second Eldest up and have them wash up.
Okay.
Nodding, Chen Yu turned to Chen Erke next to him, giving her a few pushes. Wake up, pig.
Huh? Chen Erke looked up in a daze and stared at Chen Yu with bleary eyes. She then pulled the blanket over her head, hiding herself under it.
Hey! Get up! Chen Yu shook her harder.
There was no response from Chen Erke.
Then you have no rights to blame me.
Lifting up a corner of the blanket, Chen Yu took off one of his socks and threw it in. He then covered the blanket tightly.
Three.
Two.
One.
Ahhhhhhh!
All of a sudden, the blanket was kicked off from the inside. Chen Erke struggled off the couch, catching her breath. Within no time, she was fully awake.
Time for breakfast.
Calmly, Chen Yu took his sock and put it on. Go wash up, he said, ruffling Chen Erkes hair.
Chen Yu! Youre disgusting!
So-so.
Chen Erke pinched her nose, shouting for Mrs. Chen unhappily. Mommy! My brother is bullying me!
Quiet! Your younger sister is still sleeping! Go and wash up! Mrs. Chen chided, coming out of the kitchen with a spatula.
Chen Erke pouted, feeling wronged.
Go and wash up.
Chen Yu stood up and pulled Chen Erke into the washroom. He turned on the tap, splashing water onto her face. Wash your face!
Seeing that Chen Erke was doing as told, Chen Yu walked out of the washroom and stopped right outside Chen Yikes room. He was about to push the door open when he remembered the painful consequences of doing that, so he chose to knock on her door instead.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Eldest, wake up! Its breakfast time! Chen Yu yelled.
No responses came from the room.
Wake up!
Wake up for breakfast~
Little sister! Breakfast time!
Hurry u-
Shut up! Chen Yikes furious shout suddenly came from inside the room.
Jumping in fright, Chen Yu quickly retreated a meter backward.
Thirty seconds later, a half-awake Chen Yike came out of the room. Thud. She kicked Chen Yu in his calf before making her way to the washroom, leaving a pale Chen Yu crouching down slowly, holding his calf in extreme pain.
Twenty minutes later, the entire Chen family sat around the dining table orderly to have breakfast.
Chen Sanke had just woken up. She ate her porridge sleepily, forgetting to swallow it down, before falling asleep while having her food.
Mr. Chen had not washed up. There was still dry stuff on the corner of his eyes.
Mrs. Chen looked exhausted.
Chen Yu looked sleepy as if he had too much fun with R18 stuff the night before.
As for Chen Yike and Chen Erke, they were the most energetic pair in the Chen family. At lightning speed, they emptied their plates.
Chen Yu, Mrs. Chen yawned and turned to him. Send Second Eldest to her tuition class later. Im going to pay the electricity bills later in the afternoon.
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback. But I have something going on in the afternoon too! he answered immediately.
He had to wait for the arrival of his first review product!
Im going to pay the electricity bills! Which is more important? Mrs. Chen replied, unhappy with Chen Yus answer.
Cant you do that in the afternoon?
I have work.
Work?
Yes. Part-time job, to earn money for the household.
Hearing this, Mr. Chen, who had been eating silently, suddenly placed down his utensils and stood up. Im full, he said moodily.
You still have porridge left in your bowl, Mrs. Chen said with a frown.
You can have it, Im leaving for work.
After a simple wash up, Mr. Chen put on his jacket and left the house with his blue toolbox.
Chen Yike and Chen Erke exchanged glances silently in the living room.
There was nothing Mrs. Chen and Chen Yu could say either.
Chen Sanke was still deep in sleep.
The Chen family fell into silence once again, just like it was during dawn.
A few minutes later. Send Second Eldest to class later. After finishing Mr. Chens leftover food, Mrs. Chen said in monotone.
Okay.
After breakfast, Mrs. Chen cleared the table and left the house with her purse.
Chen Yu pulled out his mobile phone, taking a glance at the time. Eldest, Ill bring Second Eldest to her class now, take care of Third Eldest, he instructed Chen Yike, who was studying in the living room.
Alright. Chen Yike nodded. She put her book down, opening her mouth slightly, hesitating to speak her mind.
What is it? Chen Yu asked.
Brother Chen Yike bit her lips. My class has an autumn trip two weeks later to Erlong Mountain. Its compulsory, and it will cost 320 RMB in total. I dont know how to tell Mom about it.
At Chen Yikes side, Chen Erke perked up her ears.
Nevermind, Ill pay for it. After a moment of silence, Chen Yu spoke, plastering a smile on his face.
Brother You have the money?
Of course. Dont I receive the most red packets every year? Take care of Third Eldest. Im sending Second Eldest now.
With that, Chen Yu took Chen Erkes hand and left the house together after putting on their shoes.
Twenty minutes later, he was standing outside the mental abacus learning center while holding on to Chen Erke. Seeing that the other kids were holding their drinks, realization dawned on Chen Yu. He gave himself a smack on the head.
Oh no! Second Eldest, I forgot your water bottle!
Chen Erke took a glance at the drinks in her classmates hands secretly. Im not thirsty, she said, clutching the corner of her shirt with her left hand.
Ill buy you something.
Brother, Im not thirsty.
Ignoring Chen Erkes words, Chen Yu held on to Chen Erke and went into the mini-market that was next to her abacus learning center. He shoved a bottle of iced black tea into her hands.
Brother! Im really not thirsty! Chen Erke put the iced lemon tea back onto the shelves, blinking at Chen Yu with her shiny bright eyes. Big Sis still needs money for her school trip. Theres not enough to go around.
Tsk Chen Yu took the bottle of lemon tea once again and ruffled her hair. Thats not something for you to worry about.
After paying, they left the mini-market. Chen Yu stood at the door and watched Chen Erke enter the class with the bottle of black tea in her hands. The smile plastered on his face faded, and he sighed before walking in the direction of the mall.
It was past 9 A.M already. The Transdimensional Marketing Companys delivery shouldve long since arrived in his room. However, since he was out, he might as well buy some things he needed.
For instance, a mask to hide his face.
By the time Chen Yu arrived back home, it was already half past nine.
After greeting Chen Yike, he dashed into his room like a cat on hot bricks. As soon as he entered his room, he was welcomed by the sight of a huge box sitting on the floor.
Its here!
Chen Yu rubbed his hands excitedly and went to lock his door. He then tore off the exquisite wrapper of the box and opened the box.
Chapter 7
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
As soon as Chen Yu opened the box, a thick manual came into his view.
Taking away the manual revealed a metallic box that resembled a toolbox. Through the transparent glass cover, Chen Yu spotted a few fun-sized but of-unknown-purpose tools lying in it.
Whats this?
Puzzled, Chen Yu tore off the plastic wrapper around the manual and flipped opened the first page.
[Thank you for purchasing Yue Tu Companys childrens educational toy series.]
Child childrens toy?
Chen Yu was in a daze. After a short pause, he pulled out his mobile phone to send a WeChat message.
[Chen Yu: Youre telling me to review a childs toy?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. It might be of the lowest class, but I only managed to get it for you after going through many troubles.]
[Chen Yu: Are you being serious?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I am. Is there something wrong, Mr. Chen?]
I
Chen Yu had the urge to curse, but he decided not to in the end. He took the manual and focused on it.
Even if it was a toy, it was an item from the future, after all. There might be a big surprise, like a universe hidden in it.
Indeed, just three pages into the manual, the universe hidden in the toy gave Chen Yu a fright, sending chills running down his spine.
Gulp.
Chen Yu gulped. He picked up his mobile phone and entered the WeChat chatroom, shaking while typing down his message.
[Chen Yu: Are you sure this is a toy?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Thats designed for children?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. Is there any problem with it?]
[Chen Yu: So children in the future make nuclear bombs at home for fun, huh?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory. What kind of name is this for a childrens toy!?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Calm down, Mr. Chen. The purpose of this is to teach children about the elements and physics. This is made with the purpose of broadening childrens knowledge and developing their motor skills. It comes with equipment for protection and it wont bring about any health impacts or explode randomly. You can be at ease.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please believe my words! Its really just a toy.]
[Chen Yu: Can I exchange it for something else?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: My dear, other than quality problems, you cant return the purchase.]
Hah
Chen Yu sighed and threw his mobile phone to the side. He then picked up the manual, browsing through it. However, the more he read, the more his head hurt.
Just look at what was in here.
One Geiger-Muller counter used to detect radioactive emissions.
One electroscope used to detect the presence of electric charge.
Two spinthariscopes used for observing individual nuclear disintegrations.
Two Wilson cloud chambers that consisted of an indicator, used for visualizing the passage of ionizing radiation.
One set of large protective gear.
One alpha radioactive source made out of lead-210 and polonium-210.
One beta radioactive source made of ruthenium-106.
One gamma radioactive source made of zinc-65.
One coil of aluminium foil.
One coil of uranium-238.
One polonium-beryllium neutron initiator.
Eight uranium ore samples
Heavens! This thing even came with a case that was about the size of a finger and a spherical detonator! How thoughtful of the manufacturer!
It would seem that the future civilization was way ahead when it came to population control. They were already teaching it since infancy
The tough, brain-straining fight with the huge manual came to an end. Chen Yu sat down on the floor, sinking deep in thought.
He was so grateful to himself for making the choice to remain anonymous. It was the best decision he had ever made.
He highly suspected that he would drag Bilibili down to hell after doing a few reviews of such frenzied products.
Whatever, let me get my script out and finish filming as soon as possible.
Electronic devices would always leave behind traces. In order to eliminate all possibility of his identity being leaked, Chen Yu chose to pen his script down on a piece of paper so he could burn it after he was done with the filming.
Knowing his strengths and weaknesses well, Chen Yu kept his script short, simple, and straight to the point, since he had no idea how to host or sweet talk.
After half an hour, it was all done. The script consisted of four different sections.
Firstly, the unboxing of the product.
Secondly, introducing the product.
Thirdly, demonstration of product use.
Lastly, ending with a conclusion.
He re-read the script twice. After being certain that everything was alrightthat there werent any wrong words and that it flowed nicelyit was time to arrange the setup.
Chen Yu first pushed his bed to the window, freeing up a huge space in the room. He then took two bed sheets to cover up the wall and the floor. Finally, he made a makeshift table with a big box.
A simple studio was done.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just then, there was banging on his door. Brother! Are you trying to tear the house down? Why is it so noisy? Chen Yikes shout could be clearly heard.
Im working out! Dont disturb me!
Im coming in to take a look.
No! Go away! Do not disturb me.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Brother! Are you trying to commit suicide!? Chen Yike shouted, banging on the door again.
Cough
Chen Yu nearly choked on his own saliva.
Brother! Open up! Dont scare me!
You should stop watching those stupid dramas. Im not opening up. Get lost.
Ill tear down the door if youre not going to open up!
Chen Yu pulled his hair in frustration. He walked to the door, threatening Chen Yike. Do you still want money for the school trip?
Yes.
Then get lost!
Okay.
Hearing Chen Yikes footsteps getting further away, Chen Yu went back to his makeshift studio, but before he could sit down, he heard Chen Yike shouting at his door once again.
Brother! Theres no compensation for committing suicide! Dont be stupid!
Get lost!
Okay.
After everything was done, Chen Yu changed into an old set of clothes and put on the Peking opera mask he bought. He started his camera and stared into it silently.
He had forgotten his lines.
Hurriedly, Chen Yu grabbed the script to take a glance at it. He took a deep breath and grabbed the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory, banging it onto the makeshift table.
Hello everybody, welcome to Transdimensional Reviews first episode. Today, the product we will be looking into is a childrens puzzle toy by Yue Tu Company. Its called the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory
as everyone can see, there are a number of different fun-sized laboratory apparatuses here in the lab. Ill do a short explanation for each of them. This is a spinthariscope, used for observing individual nuclear disintegrations
we will now follow closely the instructions of the manual. Put the spherical detonator on before inserting the uranium into the projectile. Let me repeat myself, this is an educational toy for children.
Three hours later, filming finally ended.
The video that was about three hours long consisted mostly of mistakes. Thus, Chen Yu only had twenty minutes that would come in handy. After editing, the final product would be about fifteen minutes long.
However, none of that mattered to Chen Yu now.
He pulled out his legs from the fallen makeshift table and stood up with the help of the wall. Chen took a glance at the Nuclear Energy Laboratory that was now in tatters. He took off his mask and pulled out his mobile phone, an incredibly ugly expression on his face.
[Chen Yu: Are you there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: May I help you, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: Didnt you say that it would not explode!?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ?]
Chapter 8
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
[Chen Yu: Didnt you say that it wouldnt explode?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ?]
[Chen Yu: Why did it explode all of a sudden?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Did it explode when you were doing the experiment?]
[Chen Yu: Yes! I followed the manual exactly and pressed the detonation button as I was told, and it really exploded! My protective gear shattered too!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Will the radiation leak out?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Be at ease. Theres a special type of film applied on the protective gear. It wont bring about any harm to you.]
Seeing the other partys explanation, Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief and plopped down to the floor weakly.
During the shoot, his heart jumped out from his chest when the nuclear explosion shattered the protective glass
[Chen Yu: How are you going to explain this situation? I need compensation!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, I said it wouldnt explode randomly, but I didnt say it wouldnt explode if you arm it and detonate it!]
[Chen Yu: This is a toy, okay? It shouldnt explode at all!
[Transdimensional Marketing: In reality, most children are unable to detonate this product. I have no idea how you managed to.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You are incredibly smart. Congratulations.]
[Chen Yu: Are you still sure that this is a childrens toy?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. The explosives should be equivalent to only 0.7 gram of TNT, and the protective gear is more than safe. Please be at ease.]
Chen Yu stared at his mobile phone screen silently for a few moments before sending over a reply.
[Chen Yu: Fine. Ill suck it up this time around. Please have mercy on me in the future and do not send me such dangerous or insane products. Please. My life is precious.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Ill try my best, Mr. Chen.]
Chen Yu turned his mobile phone off and walked to his bed, plopping down on it.
After going through a terrifying and nerve-wracking experience, Chen Yu was overtaken by exhaustion and drowsiness within no time. He was dying to drift into a deep sleep immediately.
But Chen Yu only took a five-minute rest before he forced himself to clean up the room that was in a mess right now.
About ten minutes later, the room was back as it was, and the script was now ashes.
Chen Yu sat right at the computer desk, connecting his camera to his laptop to transfer the 25 gigabyte video over. After thirty seconds, he clicked open the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal and opened the second tab[Video Editing].
In the [Video Editing] page, there was a selection called [Smart Editing] that was right in the middle. It stood out the most among all other selections.
Auto-cut?
Navigating his cursor, Chen Yu clicked on [Smart Editing] hesitantly. His screen flickered, and instantly, his video of 25 gigabytes was cut into umpteen parts. It was then combined, overlapped, and changed with each other within no time.
A few seconds later, a nicely edited video of fifteen minutes was presented to Chen Yu, who watched the process take place in front of his eyes dumbfoundedly.
Its done?
He couldnt believe his eyes.
How could a program identify the content inside the video and determine which parts were necessary and which were unnecessary? Did the program understand a humans aesthetic concepts? Did this application come with an AI?
Moreover, was this program not restricted by his laptops hardware? How was it able to complete the edit so rapidly?
A few moments later, Chen Yu finally regained his senses. He immediately pressed Play to check the results.
Not only were there no mistakenly used clips throughout the fifteen-minute long video, but subtitles, background music, sound effects, and special effects were also added to the video. The only problem was that his voice still remained the same, but that could be adjusted simply.
Amazing!
This left Chen Yu speechless. He was full of respect for humans and technology from the future.
If other Bilibili content creators found out about this, they would go crazy
After making adjustments to his voice, Chen Yu saved the video, uploaded it onto Bilibili, and scheduled for it to be released at 9 A.M. Subsequently, he couldnt help but re-watch the video. Satisfied, he kept nodding his head.
Even though Chen Yus speech and performance were slightly amateurish, the video was entertaining nonetheless. Especially the slow-motion effect and background music that were added to the scene where the mushroom cloud was ignited with the help of special gases in the protective gear after he finished assembling the bomb. The scene was so mind-blowing that even the special effects seen in movies were incomparable to it.
He could not help but admit that the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory was absolutely eye-catching!
It was extremely suited for a content creator, like himself, that lacked a subscriber base.
Im looking forward to the reviews from the audience tomorrow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chen Yu was lying down on his bed, giving free rein to his imagination, when somebody banged on his door once again.
Watching dust fall off his ceiling, Chen Yu knew that it mustve been Chen Sanke.
What? Chen Yu shouted as a response.
Big Brother! Lunch time!
Hearing this, he rubbed his stomach subconsciously. He was indeed getting hungry. He shut his laptop and went to open up the door to see that Chen Sanke wasnt the only person standing at the door. There was also Chen Yike, who was trying to sneakily worm her way into his room.
What are you doing? Chen Yu stretched out his hand, blocking Chen Yike.
Im going in to take a look.
Nope.
Why can you casually enter my room as you wish but I cant do the same to you? Chen Yike asked, displeased.
When did I enter your room casually? I got a beating from yesterday, no?
Then you can beat me up too! Chen Yike stuck her head in Chen Yus chest, trying to force her way through. Cmon! Im going in to take a look.
You! Chen Yus eyes widened. He raised his hand, posturing to give her a slap.
But Chen Yike was staring at him with puppy dog eyes. You cant bear to do it.
Chen Yu:
When the pair of siblings were in a deadlock, Chen Sanke, who was of a smaller size, had already taken a tour around Chen Yu room. Big Sis, theres no rope or knives in Big Brothers room. The windows are closed too. Chen Sanke walked out, speaking in a cute manner.
How much are you hoping that Ill commit suicide? Chen Yu facepalmed.
Im just worried for you! Chen Yike flushed red in anger. You have been acting secretively these days! How do I know what youre actually up to?
Okay. Its my bad. Chen Yu sighed and moved aside. Go in and do whatever you want.
Chen Yike immediately stepped into the room with her arms akimbo. She glanced around the room. Suddenly, she pointed at Chen Yus bed. You moved the bed!
So what?
There must be something beneath it!
Chen Yike was right.
He had hidden the makeshift table and Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory under his bed.
Im going to take a look to see what it is.
But before Chen Yike could walk toward Chen Yus bed, she was thrown out of the room.
Bang!
Chen Yu shut the door tight and locked it from the outside. Youre right, there is something beneath my bed, but Im not going to let you take a look. He shrugged.
Then Ill tell mom about it!
Do you still want the money for the school trip?
You can buy my body but never my heart!
That doesnt sound right.
If you dont come for lunch, then Ill eat your portion! Chen Yike snorted, pulling Chen Sanke into the kitchen with her.
After keeping the key well, Chen Yu followed them into the kitchen and sat on his seat. As soon as Chen Yu started eating, he shot up in shock.
Whats wrong? Are the vegetables too salty? Chen Yike asked with doubt.
I feel like I have forgotten something.
What?
I cant remember it now. Chen Yu frowned.
Homework?
I never do my homework.
Chen Yike rolled her eyes. She picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into her mouth, munching on it. Actually, I feel that I have forgotten something too, but I dont know what, so I did not dwell on it.
Nevermind. Chen Yu waved his hands and ate in peace. Lets talk about it when we remember it.
At the same time, Chen Erke stood outside of the abacus learning center, hugging the unopened bottle of black tea in her hands. She blinked her eyes, looking dazed as she stared at the busy streets while daydreaming away.
Erke, is there no one to pick you up yet? The class ended more than half an hour ago. A female teacher walked out, squatting down next to Erke.
No. Chen Erke said, scratching her head.
Chapter 9

Trash!
Youre a perfect piece of trash!
Is there nothing you can do right?! How can you even forget to pick Second Eldest up from class? Good-for-nothing! Why did I not forget you back then?
In the Chen familys living room, Chen Yu and Chen Yike sat on the couch obediently, receiving Mrs. Chens scoldings, not daring to utter a refuting statement.
On the side stood Chen Erke with the bottle of black tea in her hands and Chen Sanke suckling on her finger. They were watching the scene happily.
This will be the last time, Chen Yu raised his hands and said.
Of course this will be the last time! Mrs. Chen raged. Why would there be a next time? If the teacher did not call me, I bet that it would have never crossed your mind even until your wedding day!
Pu hahahaha. Chen Yike burst out laughing right next to Chen Yu. She held it in immediately, but it was too late; Mrs. Chen had already diverted her anger onto her.
Laughing? How dare you still laugh? Your brother has always been a careless person, but youre a girl! How can you be careless!? I dont know how you still have the face to laugh when you managed to forget your own younger sister!
Haha.
The victim, Chen Erke, couldnt contain her laughter either. Thus, Mrs. Chen changed her target once again!
You must be happy that Im scolding them and not you, right? I dont know how you can wait for an hour and a half like a fool! If your brother is not there to fetch you, then ask the teacher to call! If you cant remember my number, dont tell me you cant remember 110! Its just three numbers! Do you think being jobless is fun? Do you know how hard it was for me to get a job at the restaurant? Now Im going to lose the job because I went off to pick you up as soon as I started the job!
Kekekeke.
Chen Sanke burst out laughing. However, she shut her mouth at once and took two steps back. I Im still young, she explained stupidly.
Mrs. Chen stared at Chen Sanke and nodded. Fine, youre still young. I will wait until you grow older.
With that, Mrs. Chen threw a death glare at her children. She picked up her purse and turned to leave the house.
Mom! Where are you going? Chen Yike shouted worriedly Werent you fired?
To pay the electricity bill!
Didnt you pay it this morning?
I forgot! Mrs. Chen shouted in reply and banged the door shut.
Chen Yu:
Chen Yike:
Chen Erke:
Chen Sanke:
After Mrs. Chen left, the Chen siblings exchanged a glance and left to do their own things.
Yike went to study, Erke started drawing, and Sanke watched Erke draw.
As for Chen Yu, he returned to his bedroom and locked the door. He then pulled out the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory from under his bed and started brainstorming on what to do with it.
The Transdimensional Marketing salesperson said that the radiation would not leak, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Technological products were always unpredictable.
Even Brand S, a well-known and established business, managed to mix up batteries and bombs, causing many customers to be unhappy with them.
However, he couldnt sell the laboratory.
It also wasnt a decent gift to give away.
He couldnt just simply throw it away either, as he would be digging his own grave.
He also had no use for it personally and leaving it at home would bring him trouble sooner or later.
This was a thorny problem.
Chen Yu frowned, thinking hard. A few moments later, Chen Yu came to the conclusion that it would be difficult to get rid of the product himself, thus he took out his mobile phone to contact the salesperson.
[Chen Yu: Are you there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I will always be here for you, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Whats your gender? Can you stop speaking so ambiguously? Its giving me goosebumps.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, Im female.]
[Chen Yu: Oh, your words are fine then. I like them.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: How may I help you?]
[Chen Yu: I have a question.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please speak, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Can I return the technological products you sent? Its of no use to me and it is also a hassle for me to throw away.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We can reclaim the products if you do not need them after you have reviewed them.]
[Chen Yu: Reclaim? Do I get money out of it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No.]
[Chen Yu: Then how could you call it reclaiming if Im not going to be paid for it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: While we wont give you any money, we will give you gifts based on the reclaimed products value.]
[Chen Yu: What gifts?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The product that youre going to send back is the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory, right?]
[Chen Yu: Do you think I have any other products?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Alright. Hold on. Ill inquire about it for you.]
And immediately after he received the previous message, Chen Yu got a reply.
[Transdimensional Marketing: The Nuclear Energy Laboratory is expensive, thus we can give you one of the three following items.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: 1 C Polar Spring Water. 2 C Nutritional Mineral Water. 3 C Refined Asteroid Water.]
[Chen Yu: So I can only exchange for three bottles of water?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No, just one.]
[Chen Yu: Youre trying to earn as much as you can, huh?]
All Chen Yu got in reply was a smiley face.
[Chen Yu: Tell me the difference between these three bottles of water then. Since its water from the future, it should be equipped with some special effects, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Polar Spring Water: uses spring water from an ice cave located in the North Pole. Nutritional Mineral Water: pure water with numerous vitamins and minerals. Refined Asteroid Water: water extracted from meteorites and purified.]
[Chen Yu: so they are just three ordinary bottles of water?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, Mr. Chen. So, which one will you take?]
[Chen Yu: None! I wont exchange for anything, okay?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please be understanding. Think about this; how much does a pager that cost an arm and a leg in the past cost in your current world?]
[Chen Yu: Dont bullshit with me! I would rather bring this toy laboratory to my grave than exchange it for a bottle of water!]
Humans were strange creatures.
Initially, Chen Yu only hoped that the other party would get rid of the piece of trash for him.
However, when it was offered to be exchanged with something, he started pin-pointing the cons of this something.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Hold on. Ill try to see if I can apply for something that you would like.]
[Chen Yu: You can save your energy if its going to be another bottle of water.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, theres something youre unaware of. Natural pure water is considered a more precious drink in my time. Its not cheap to get them.]
[Chen Yu: I dont need water.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay, hold on.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I have managed to get you three new choices according to your likely needs 1 C Enhanced Memory Circlet. 2 C Microkinetic Basketball Shoes. 3 C Precision Homing Slingshot.]
Chen Yus eyes lit up at the message as he typed a reply happily.
[Chen Yu: Sounds good! Tell me more about them.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I suggest that you take the water. These arent as valuable as the water, price-wise.]
[Chen Yu: I do not care about your opinion. Only my opinion matters.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]

Under the other partys explanation, Chen Yu managed to learn about the effects of the three items.
Enhanced Memory Circlet: A one-time use item. Stimulates the users brain cells to increase oxygen consumption and increases the transmission speed of neuron signals. This speeds up and improves the users memory for a period of time, thereby increasing work and study effectiveness.
Microkinetic Basketball Shoes: The shoe cushion is made with Air Sole air cushions, which was a type of memory foam. There is a special type of air mixture in the shoe cushion, which returns a certain amount of kinetic energy when compressed. It helps improve the users jumping ability and decreases the chances of getting injured.
Precision Homing Slingshot: The slingshot has a 3D positioning chip installed and the bullets come with a special feature that allows them to automatically correct their trajectory. After taking aim, there is a 96.7% chance that the bullet will hit the target successfully. The slingshot can accurately shoot targets up to 70 meters away.
The three gifts were equally useful in their respective ways, but Chen Yu could only pick one, making it a tough choice.
However, as a senior high school student, Chen Yu had his responsibilities. No matter how tempting the other two items sounded, Chen Yu knew that there was no need to hesitate, especially when the National College Exams were about to arrive.
In the past, he had no chance. Now, though, Chen Yu only wanted to be a senior high schooler who was up to par.
Thus, Chen Yu moved his thumbs, keying in his answer firmly.
[Chen Yu: I would like the pair of basketball shoes.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. Ill open up the wormhole now. Please place the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory in it.]
[Chen Yu: Okay.]
As soon as Chen Yu sent the message over, the space right in front of him distorted rapidly, forming a white spiraling hole.
He threw the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory into the spiraling hole just like he did for the contract. Plop! A white box fell out afterward.
When the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu rushed over to pick up the box and open it. There was a pair of stylish looking, black basketball shoes lying in the box. The shiny pair of shoes shone brightly under the sunlight, blinding Chen Yu with the reflected light.
Cool!
Chen Yu gasped upon feeling how soft the tongue of the shoes was. He then slipped the shoes on.
Instantly, Chen Yu felt the shoes wrapping around him, warmly and tightly. The shoes enveloped his feet, and it was a comfortable feeling.
He grasped his phone tightly and did some warm-ups before doing a small leap as a test.
Whoosh!
He was lifted off the ground instantly. He jumped so high up that his hands that were raised up high were at most only 30 centimeters away from the ceiling.
Bang!
Under the gravitational force, Chen Yu was pulled back to the floor. The next second, he managed to land steadily. It made some noise, but he did not feel much of the shock.
That high up?
Taking a look at the basketball shoes on his feet, Chen Yu was pleasantly surprised.
It was just a light jump, but it got him 60 centimeters off the ground. If he had actually exerted some force, he would be able to leap higher than 100 centimeters away from the ground easily!
A basketball hoop was 3.05 meters high up in the air. With this pair of shoes, he would be able to do a slam dunk without a running jump!
After doing a few more jumps excitedly, Chen Yu then turned on his mobile phone and typed quickly.
[Chen Yu: Since this pair of basketball shoes is a gift, can I sell it off, then?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No, its just for your own use. You can gift it away for free, though.]
Such a pity, Chen Yu thought, seeing the other partys reply.
[Chen Yu: How did you know my shoe size, though?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: After you were confirmed to be our partner, the company did some simple investigations on you, so we have some basic information of yours. Be at ease, we only got basic information, nothing personal.]
[Chen Yu: Understood. I really like the gift a lot. Thank you.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Can I ask you something?]
[Chen Yu: Yeah?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: According to the information I have received, youre a student, a senior high schooler, right?]
[Chen Yu: Yes. Is there something wrong with that?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Since youre a student, why didnt you pick the Enhanced Memory Circlet that would help you improve your grades?]
[Chen Yu: Im going to have my National College Entrance Exams soon! Dont you know that?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, thats exactly why Im curious about your decision.]
[Chen Yu: You can score extra points if you can play basketball well during the exams!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ???]
[Chen Yu: Forget it. You wouldnt understand anyway. Thats it. Im going offline.]
Chen Yu shut off his mobile phone and went out of his room with the pair of shoes on. Eldest, Second Eldest, Third Eldest! Cmere! He shouted to his younger sisters who were in the living room.
What do you want? Chen Yike put her textbook down doubtfully.
Ill bring you guys to a restaurant! Chen Yu waved his hands generously. Were going to have a big meal!
Yike:
Erke:
Sanke:
Whats with that look?
Brother Chen Yike walked up to Chen Yu, waving her hands right in front of his face. Are you sleepwalking?
Im not joking with you guys. Hurry up. Chen Yu strode toward the couch in the living room, grabbing Chen Erke in his left hand and Chen Sanke in his right. He pulled them out of the door, not letting them have a say in his decision. Chen Yu pressed the lift button.
Brother, are you really alright? Chen Yike hesitated.
Hurry! Lock the door and follow or Im going to leave you behind! Chen Yu urged.
Of course, his words to the salesperson on WeChat were complete nonsense.
Chen Yu had an important reason for choosing the basketball shoes.
Grades were not something he could improve in a day, so he decided to focus on making money first. Couldnt she see that his sisters are suffering from malnutrition?
Ten minutes later, a worried Chen Yike, nervous Chen Erke, and dazed Chen Sanke stood outside a restaurant called the Famous Imperial Kitchen with Chen Yu.
Through the restaurants elegant glass doors, they could clearly see four words drawn on the restaurants marble floorStanding Long Jump Challenge. There was also a colorful standing long jump diagram placed right behind the words.
1.2 meters: a free drink.
1.4 meters: a 50 yuan voucher.
1.6 meters : 5% off total bill.
1.8 meters: 10% off total bill.
2 meters: 15% off total bill.
2.5 meters: 20% off total bill.
3 meters: all purchases free of charge!
3.5 meters: 3000 yuan cash!
This is it. A devilish grin crept onto Chen Yus face. Holding onto Chen Erke and Chen Sanke, Chen Yu made his way to the restaurant. Eldest, hurry up! We need to be faster and go to as many restaurants as we can before it turns dark.
Brother. Chen Yike tugged Chen Yus shirt. Stop fooling around, what are you trying to do?
Eat! What do you think we are at a restaurant for?
This this place looks expensive.
Haha, you have never been to such an expensive restaurant, right? Me too. Let me broaden your horizons.
As soon as Chen Yu entered the restaurant with his younger sisters, two waitresses in qipao standing on the side bowed and greeted them.
Welcome!
This greeting came unexpectedly to the Chen sisters, making them jump up in fright.
Perfect country bumpkins.
Sir, how many?
The female manager standing in the dining hall walked out with a smile plastered on her face.
Four. Chen Yu smiled and pointed to the big table that was next to a window. Is there anyone sitting there?
No.
Then well sit there.
Very well, sir. The female manager smiled and led the Chen siblings to the table. She placed the thick menu on the table and bowed. Please take a look at the menu, Ill serve you tea now.
Okay. Chen Yu nodded and threw the menu to Chen Yike. Little sister, order whatever you want!
Chen Yike took the menu with trembling hands. After a moment of hesitation, she flipped open the first page. Her heart sank upon seeing the price.
Beauty, what would you like? The manager smiled, reminding her.
Uh tea?
I will bring it here soon.
Oh. Chen Yike looked up, with an awkward smile on her face. Then well just get four cups of tea.
Female manager: ???

Editor: Exodus Tales
Cant you do better than that?!
Chen Yu snatched the menu over immediately and glared at Chen Yike. Second Eldest, you shall order, he said, passing the menu to Chen Erke.
Stupefied, Chen Erke took the menu and flipped through it aimlessly. I want a bottle of iced lemon tea, she said after a long pause.
The female manager:
Its fine, forget it. Chen Yu raged in disappointment. He snatched the menu from Chen Erkes hands and looked up at the female manager. Beauty, you should get a pen to record my orders. We might be ordering quite a fair bit, he said.
Ah sure.
The waitress standing behind the manager walked up, pulling out the order taking machine. Seeing this, Chen Yu flipped open the menu and started reading off it. Red braised pork knuckles, stewed pig intestines, stir-fried shrimp, pan-fried dumplings, deep-fried ribbonfish, twice-cooked pork, glazed pork belly
Fried liver slices, stir-fried liver with spring onions, deep-fried tripe, Di San Xian
New Zealand bull kelp salad, Kung Pao bullfrog, cinnamon chicken wings, marinated notoginseng
Hold hold on! The waitress who was recording his order down furiously couldnt help but cut him off. Sir, we do not have marinated notoginseng here. And isnt notoginseng a type of Chinese medicine? Can you even eat it as food?
Its fine. Dont bother about it. Im just trying to rhyme. Chen Yu shut the menu and waved his hand. He leaned back into his chair, crossing his legs. Thats all for now. Is that enough, little sisters?
Yike:
Erke:
Sanke:
Seeing that none of his younger sisters had any opinions, Chen Yu returned the menu to the female manager, who was currently dumbstruck. Thats it. We will order more later if thats not enough.
S-Sir. The female manager and the waitress exchanged a glance, forcing a thin smile. This is a lot of food, are you sure about your order?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded. We have two adults at home, we need some takeout too.
But The manager took a glance at the menu in her hands, thinking of ways to voice her opinion appropriately. These dishes amount to a high price.
Are you suggesting that I cant pay for the meal? Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. He pulled out his mobile phone, opening the Alipay application. I can pay with Alipay even if I do not have cash. Your words make me uncomfortable; its not very nice.
Ah, no, you have mistaken me. Immediately, the female manager waved her hands awkwardly.
Its fine, I understand. We are students, after all, of course you would be worried. Chen Yu did not continue to make her time hard and kept his phone. Serve the dishes as soon as possible. Who still dines and dashes these days?
Realizing that her words were indeed inappropriate, the manager bowed profusely, Okay, please hold on. The food will be ready within no time.
After the female manager and waitress left, Chen Yu opened up the packaging of the utensils for his sisters, wiped the cups, and handed his younger sisters napkins personally.
How do you find this restaurant? Its not bad, right? Afterward, Chen Yu pointed around, smiling.
Brother. Chen Yike swayed her body uneasily, hesitating to speak her mind. DidDid you get a rich sugar mommy?
Chen Yus face fell immediately.
We might not lead extravagant lives, but we can still get by in life. Chen Yike looked down. Brother, you have to be rational. You cant sell your soul!
Chen Yu proceeded to open up the packing of his utensils. Are you spouting nonsense? he said after a long pause.
Ah?
Whats in your brain every day? Rich sugar mommy? Since when am I that lucky? No Since when did I become so spineless? Chen Yu said, taking his chopsticks and smacking them on Chen Yikes forehead.
Ah. Chen Yike covered her forehead in pain.
Youre already 14, how can you still speak without forethought? Or do your teachersthe teachers of the best middle school in townteach this every day?
Chen Yike rubbed her forehead, pouting. Where did you get the money then!? I feel that youre acting weird lately.
I earned it from working part-time, alright?
Then why did you not give the money to our family? Mom and dad are already struggling to make ends meet.
Didnt I order a lot of food? We can save up on a few meals with this.
Brother! Youre being wasteful! It will cost over a thousand yuan! You cant spend money like this even if youre rich!
Its my money, I can spend it however I like. Why are you making so much noise when I am the one treating you?
I wont eat it!
Then starve.
About ten minutes later, as the pair were bickering, the dishes were served by the waiters. The fragrance of the colorful dishes lingered in the air. The Chen siblings mouths watered, and they swallowed their saliva.
Why are you staring blankly into space? The food is already here! Chen Yu picked up a piece of orange colored twice-cooked pork with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Eat! Eat up! Chen Yu said unclearly while munching on his food.
Chen Sanke, who had the weakest willpower, was the first to surrender. She took a big spoon and scooped up about ten prawns, stuffing all of them in her mouth at once. Her mouth was so full that saliva dripped out the corner of her mouth.
Slow down! Dont choke yourself! Chen Yu immediately poured a cup of orange juice for Chen Sanke.
Uh uh Chen Sanke pointed to her mouth, rather anxious.
Idiot, you would be able to chew if you spit a few out.
Uh uh uh! Chen Sanke shook her head profusely.
Okay, then keep it in your mouth.
Chen Yu put down the cup of orange juice and turned to Chen Yike and Chen Erke, tapping the table. Will just looking make you full?
Chen Erke wiped the corner of her mouth and stole a glance at Chen Yike. Unable to hold it anymore, she picked up a piece of intestine and blew on the steam before putting it into her mouth impatiently.
Seeing both her younger sisters digging in, Chen Yike took a sniff of the fragrance floating toward her. She sighed and picked up some chopsticks, joining the hungry wolf trio.
Chen Sanke, who had her mouth full, started to get anxious. Reluctantly, she spat out more than half of the prawns in her mouth and chewed on the rest slightly before stretching her neck and swallowing them down. As the food flowed down her throat, she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Third Eldest, I beg you, please eat slowly!
Mhmm
Second Eldest! Look at how unsophisticated you are! You cant eat a ribbon fishs head!
Oh.
Eldest, why are you looking so sorrowful? Are you having your last meal?
Brother Chen Yike swallowed down the food in her mouth. I still do not think that its a good idea to get yourself a sugar mommy.
Bang!
Chen Yu raised his hand, smacking her head hard. So much food yet its still unable to fill your mouth.
Brother! I want rice! Chen Erke raised her hand.
No, just eat the dishes on their own!
Theyre a bit salty.
Drink the juice.
Half an hour later, at lightning speed, the Chen siblings had cleared one-third of the table.
Im full.
Chen Yike was the last to finish eating. After satisfying her cravings, she looked down at her bloated belly, rubbing it. At the same time, feelings of worry and sorrow started surfacing on her face again.
A thousand yuan had just flown away.
There were so many things they could do with that amount of money!
Her brother had gone insane
Was it delicious? Chen Yu asked, passing her a toothpick.
Yes. She nodded, receiving the toothpick.

Waitress.
Seeing that his younger sisters were full, Chen Yu stood up and called the female manager, who had been staring at them closely the entire time. Bill, please.
Yes, sir. The female manager trotted over immediately, wearing a smile on her face. You have spent a thousand and two hundred.
Ill just pay with Alipay later on. Help me pack the food up first, Chen Yu said with his left hand in his pocket and mobile phone in his right hand. He pointed to the table with his mobile phone. Pack the drinks too. Oh, and one bottle of Ocean Blue, please. Im bringing it back for the adults.
Yes. The female manager immediately called over a few waitresses, who brought out clean takeaway bags, packing all the dishes on the table. They also brought a bottle of Ocean Blue wine over. Sir, this bottle of 42% Premium Ocean Blue is normally sold at 498 yuan, but I will sell it to you at the cost price of 420 yuan as an apology for my mistake earlier on.
Chen Yu took the wine and eyed the female manager up and down. This is how you do business well. He gasped. Ill be here to visit again tomorrow.
Please do. For the first time, the female manager smiled at Chen Yu sincerely.
Sir, we are done packing your food.
Okay. Chen Yu nodded. He carried Chen Sanke, who had her face covered in oil, in his arms and turned to the dumbstruck Chen Yike sitting on the chair. Eldest, hold the food. Ill go make the payment.
I Chen Yike opened her mouth slightly to say something, but in the end, she did not.
Beauty, where do I pay the bill?
The counter. Please come with me.
Swaying her hips, the female manager brought Chen Yu to the counter. Scan this QR code, or we can scan your QR code if you prefer. She pointed to the QR code that was on the counter.
Okay. Chen Yu put Chen Sanke down and took out his mobile phone, pretending that he was going to scan the QR code on the counter, but before he even opened up the Alipay application, he put on an exaggerated act, exclaiming, Whats that? A standing long jump challenge?
The female manager followed Chen Yus line of sight and nodded immediately. Yes, sir. Its a promotion put up by our restaurant.
Ill get a discount if I jump further than 1.6 meters?
Yes.
Why didnt you inform me about this? Chen Yu acted extremely displeased. How could you not inform me if theres a promotion?
Sir, this promotion has been up since last year. Since there arent many customers who have shown interest in it, we deduct 15% directly from the total bill for everyone anyway. We have done so for you too, Sir.
But if I am able to jump further than 2.5 meters, Ill get a discount bigger than 20% off, right?
The female manager scratched the back of her head. Yes, but most customers fail to do so, she explained, throwing her hand up.
But I can. Im best at long jumps. Stay still, Third Eldest.
With that, Chen Yu kept his mobile phone in his pocket and deliberately walked over to the diagram with loud footsteps to attract the diners attention.
For this jump, he endured his cravings and did not eat till full.
Sir. Associating Chen Yus actions and words, the female manager felt that something was slightly off. Please be careful. Our restaurant wont be responsible for any injuries.
Of course, I will settle it myself if anything happens.
Noticing the situation, a number of surrounding diners looked over in smiles. A few drunk middle-aged men even raised their wine glasses, cheering for Chen Yu.
Beauty, will I really get the 3000 yuan cash prize if I manage to jump over 3.5 meters? To prevent the manager from going back on her words, Chen Yu emphasized loudly.
Yes. All our promotions are valid. Please be careful, sir.
The female manager wasnt worried that Chen Yu would jump over 3.5 meters because it was absolutely impossible. However, she was worried that the high schooler, who looked like he was harboring evil intentions, would be able to make a 3-meter jump. If that happened, that would make the meal, which cost more than a thousand yuan, free of charge.
Great, Ill work hard for that 3000 yuan, then.
Chen Yu stretched his arms and legs, bending. He could feel energy storing in the soft cushion of his shoes as he got ready to jump.
Little boy, safety is the most important! A bespectacled middle-aged man seated at a nearby table advised Chen Yu kindly. Its impossible to get the 3000 yuan. Before the standing long jump event was removed from the Olympics, the world record for standing long jump was only 3.4 meters. And this is not a sandpit. Even a professional athlete would not be able to jump further than 3.5 meters. You will get injured if you do it too hard.
Hearing the man, Chen Yike came to Chen Yus side with bags of food in her hands. Brother, no business would make a loss. Dont injure yourself.
Hehe.
Chen Yu winked at Chen Yike. He bent down as low as he could and exerted a huge force with his legs, leaping forward ferociously!
Whoosh!
A huge force could be felt from the soles of his basketball shoes. In the air, Chen Yu felt that there were two strong forces pushing him. He glided through the air across the colorful diagram on the floor.
Bang!
A second later, Chen Yu landed on his feet steadily. He did not fall.
He stood up and turned back to take a look. Chen Yu was overwhelmed with joy.
He landed at the end of the diagram.
The jump was also at least 3.6 meters away from the starting point.
Silence took over the restaurant instantly.
Chen Yike was dumbfounded.
The female manager was stupefied.
The spectating diners and staff members mouths hung wide open.
The kind middle-aged man that kindly advised Chen Yu also lost his balance and fell to the ground.
I guess that 3000 yuan is mine now, Chen Yu said as he grinned from ear to ear.
Dont Dont joke around. The female manager walked up blankly, checking the long jump diagram on the floor. Her brain was in a mess.
Ever since the promotion started two years ago, many diners gave this challenge a try, but there had never been one who succeeded in jumping over 3 meters.
However, what was with this senior high schooler in front of her that made a jump further than 3.5 meters?
Sudden enlightenment?!
Beauty, I think you should pay up. Seeing how distressed the manager looked, Chen Yu patted her shoulders. Hurry and pay up, we are in a rush to go home.
What the hell!?
This is amazing!
Kiddo, youre incredible!
Chen Yus words seemed to be like a switch; they brought the spectating diners back to reality. Their exclamations rang across the restaurant profusely. Surprisingly, a buff man with amazement written all over his face walked over, eyeing Chen Yu up and down.
Amazing! 3.6 meters! You cant even find anyone with such a record in the entire province! How did you manage to do it, boy?
I may be a sports genius that can only be found once in a century. Chen Yu waved his hands modestly, seeming shy.
Kid, you must go for the Olympics! They might not have the standing long jump anymore, but the regular long jump would be a perfect sport for you! You would win at least a bronze medal after some training for sure.
Thats not necessary. Im just a senior high schooler, and I only want to focus on my studies. Chen Yu smiled politely before turning back to the manager. Big sis, pay up.
I The female manager broke into a cold sweat, stammering.
Whats wrong? Are you regretting your words? Chen Yu raised his volume, grinning devilishly.
Are you regretting it now? You are an established restaurant, its not nice to go back on your words, the buff man on the side chimed in without hesitation.
We saw it too. We can testify to it.
I saw it too.
Other than a few elderly diners who were just watching the scene with smiles, other diners were speaking up for Chen Yu as well. Apparently, they were more than happy to see the restaurant making a loss.
Of course not. The manager waved her hands immediately. Im just stunned. Let me contact my boss.
Understandable. Chen Yu nodded, picking up Chen Sanke, who was still staring blankly into space. Then well wait, but please hurry and pay up. We need to leave soon.
Female manager:

The sky had already turned dark when Chen Yu left the Famous Imperial Kitchen with his younger sisters.
Its not an easy task to demand payment, Chen Yu lamented to Chen Yike while carrying Chen Sanke in his hands. I cant believe it took the entire afternoon. I had planned to visit more restaurants today.
Chen Yike was at a loss for words when she heard Chen Yus complaint. Her brain was currently a jumbled mess.
Here. Take the money. Its for your school trip. Chen Yu pulled out four bills from the huge stack of red notes and shoved them into Chen Yikes hands.
Chen Yike took the money blankly, feeling the sense of touch that was unique to a 100 yuan note. Brother, since when were you so amazing? How can you jump so far? she couldnt help but ask.
I told you that Im not an ordinary person. Do you believe it now?
Big Brother is so awesome! On the side, Chen Erke raised her hands high up, shouting excitedly.
Low-key. Chen Yu caressed Chen Erkes head, grinning from ear to ear.
Big Brother is awesome! Chen Sanke in Chen Yus hands raised her hands too.
Low-key, low-key, ahahahah! Unable to hide his pleasure anymore, Chen Yu threw his head back and started laughing heartily with his mouth wide open. From that angle, his throat could not be seen
As an elder brother, the most blissful thing that could happen to him would be to have his younger sisters look up to him.
Double the sister, double the happiness.
Chen Yu had three sisters, so he was currently on cloud nine.
Buzz! Buzz Buzz!
Buzz!
At this moment, Chen Yus phone vibrated. He put down Chen Sanke immediately and pulled out his mobile phone to pick up the call. Hello, who is it?
Your mother.
Ah, Mom. Chen Yu then remembered to take a look at his mobile phone screen. It was indeed Mother Chen who called.
Where are your sisters?
With me.
I want you back home. Immediately.
Du
After a simple and short five-second conversation, a tone rang over the phone.
Chen Yu kept his phone and turned to his younger sisters sternly. This matter should be kept as a secret from Mom and Dad. When we get home, say that the food is all from a wedding banquet.
I dont think we should lie to Mom and Dad. Chen Yike hesitated.
Chen Erke: I dont think we should lie to Mom and Dad.
Chen Sanke: I dont think we should lie to Mom and Dad.
If we are honest with them, Ill be faced with plenty of troubles. Ill also need to provide them with proof, witnesses, and many more. This is a white lie. Keep this secret well and Ill bring you guys for another round of good food next week, Chen Yu explained patiently.
Okay. Chen Yike nodded.
Chen Erke: Okay.
Chen Sanke: Okay.
Dont tell Mom and Dad about this sum of money either. Next time, just ask me for your school fees, pocket money, and other expenses. Stop burdening Mom and Dad any further.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Dont get exposed! Just agree with what I say later on when we get home.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Especially you, Second Eldest. Keep your mouth shut.
Okay
Creak
Chen Yu arrived home with his three younger sisters. He pushed open the entrance door to see Mother Chen in the kitchen, busy with her chores.
Mom! Chen Yu shut the door tightly and changed into his slippers. He then walked into the kitchen and said, You dont need to cook. We brought back some food.
Mother Chen turned back to see Chen Yu walking in with about ten bags of food. What are those? she asked, slightly stunned.
Food that I brought back. Chen Yu said and placed the bags on the table. He opened them up, revealing the food inside. Lets have this for dinner.
Where Where did you get that?
Chen Yu turned back, giving his sisters a wink. I brought them out for a walk just now and came across a hotel hosting a wedding, so we went in to get some food. This was left untouched, so we brought it back, he explained earnestly.
Hearing him, Mother Chen took a glance at the dishes on the table and turned to her children in disbelief. Youre friends with the newlywed couple?
Nope.
So you went to a strangers wedding?
Theres food. Chen Yu reasoned forcefully.
Mother Chen turned to her daughters subconsciously.
Chen Yike nodded. Yes.
Chen Erke nodded. Yes.
Chen Sanke nodded. Yes.
Mother Chen:
Mom! Look, theres some wine for dad as well. As if doing a magic trick, Chen Yu pulled out a bottle of Ocean Blue and placed it on the table with a bang. We have dishes and wine. You only need to cook rice today.
You You guys Mother Chen scratched her head, not sure if she should laugh or cry. So the four of you openly freeloaded on a strangers wedding?
Yeah. Chen Yu nodded.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Three echoes followed.
Bang!
After some thought, Mother Chen put on an angry face and banged the table hard, pretending to be angry. Arent you embarrassed? What if someone we know saw you?
These are leftovers. They wouldve gone to waste if they were thrown away.
Even if the food goes to waste, it is none of your business! No more next time!
Okay, okay. This will be the last time. Chen Yu nodded, taking the out that Mother Chen gave him. The last.
Wait and see how your father will punish you when he gets home! All of you, go and wash up! Mother Chen glared at her children before picking up a piece of meat and placing it into her mouth. Let me heat the dishes up. Mmm, its not bad
Chen Yu immediately turned around, leaving the kitchen with his sisters. They made their way to the washroom.
Shutting the glass door tight, the Chen siblings stood at the basin. Through the mirror, they looked at each other, smiling slyly at the same time.
About ten minutes later, Father Chen arrived home from work.
Father Chen was stupefied when he saw the piping hot dishes on the dining table through the window. After a short pause, he walked out of the house, looking up to stare at the unit number.
Why are you standing outside? Mother Chen came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her right hand and a ladle in her left hand. Frowning, she said, Come in.
Are you divorcing me? Father Chen burst out with a shocking sentence.
What nonsense are you spouting?! Aiming accurately, Mother Chen smacked Father Chens head hard with a ladle. Ding~ There was a clear and loud ring.
Chen Yu, who was sitting in the living room, saw the scene and turned to Chen Yike. How does it sound?
Chen Yike:
Great! Chen Sanke raised her hands happily.
In the entrance hall. Father Chen covered his head. How much did you spend on this?! How are we going to get through the remaining days?!
Not a single cent. Your dear son brought it back. Mother Chen glared at Father Chen and went back to the kitchen. Go and wash your hands.
Chen Yu! Father Chen looked over at Chen Yu. Explain this!
I
Not only did he openly freeload on a strangers wedding banquet, but he also brought these back. Before Chen Yu could explain himself, Mother Chen couldnt help but chip in. He even brought a bottle of wine back! You must give him a good lecture! This is simply embarrassing! We let him live without punishment for a few years, and he now thinks that the world is his!
Dad, this will be the last time. Chen Yu immediately admitted to his mistake.
It was uncertain what Father Chen was thinking, but after taking a glance at the dishes and staring at Chen Yu for a few moments, he stuck out a thumb suddenly. Damn! As expected of my so
Ding!
Father Chen was smacked with a ladle before he could say anything more.

Mom, were leaving!
Take care!
The next day, at 7:30 A.M., after a sumptuous breakfast, the Chen siblings left for school together.
Chen Yu carried Chen Sankes school bag in his left hand, Chen Erkes school bag in his right, Chen Yikes school bag in front of his chest, and his own on his back. He looked like a living hanging rack that was leading the three little girls.
Following the usual route, it only took them about five minutes to arrive at a kindergarten.
The group stopped in their tracks. Listen to the teacher and have fun. Take care and stay safe. Chen Yu passed Chen Sanke the bag in his left hand.
Aye! Chen Sanke took the bag and nodded seriously. She carried her bag and waddled into the school. Her steps were slightly unsteady.
Lets go! Chen Yu commanded, pointing to the front, and resumed his job of leading the way.
About eight minutes later, they arrived at a primary school. Chen Yu passed Chen Erke the bag in his right hand.
Second Eldest, listen in class and dont daydream. If anybody bullies you, tell me.
Okay. Chen Erke took her bag and trotted into the school. Within no time, she was out of sight.
Lets go!
A few minutes later. Chen Yu and Chen Yike arrived at a middle school.
Chen Yu removed the bag on his chest and threw it to Chen Yike. Listen up, no dating! Or Ill break your leg! And that was all he said.
Chen Yike:
Chen Yike took the bag silently. Flushing red, Chen Yike kicked Chen Yu in his legs firmly!
Bang!
Ah!
Chen Yu crouched on the ground slowly, grabbing his leg in pain.
After sending off his sisters, Chen Yu made a turn and walked along the streets, passing four traffic lights. He soon arrived at his school, Jinzhou District Sixth High School.
It was a peculiar school that was well known across the entire province.
It was said that top-tier schools focused on results, second-tier schools focused on discipline, and third-tier schools focused on hygiene.
However, Sixth High did not focus on anything.
Instead, Sixth High took an approach that was similar to university life; as long as it wasnt fighting, the school would close an eye to anything the student did.
Entering the classroom blocks, Chen Yu came to Class 2-2. He was welcomed by his classmates, who were partying.
There were students snacking, flirting around, reading comics, boasting around. All of his classmates were doing almost everything except for studying.
Hah A group of bad students who are engrossed with having fun. What a disgrace. Chen Yu curled his lips, secretly looking at his classmates degenerate actions in contempt. He walked along the side of the classroom to the last row and sat down on his seat, then began reading R18 novels
It was now 8:12 A.M., about 40 minutes until the release of his video.
After scrolling through Bilibili for a while, there was nothing that caught his eyes. Chen Yu rolled two paper balls and stuffed them in his ears. He then rested his head on the table, ready to take a nap before class.
He did not have a good sleep yesterday night. The excitement of earning a sum and the butterflies in his stomach due to the fact that his video would be uploaded today at 9.A.M had him half-awake the entire night.
The dreams he had were weird too.
Becoming the head of state
Turning into a prisoner
Being dissected by a group of people in white robes
Being assassinated by people from the future
Causing an explosion during unboxings
In summary, he couldnt sleep well and was feeling fearful for reasons unknown even to himself.
Chen Yu thought that, in school, which was crowded with people, he would have a sense of security and be able to sleep well. However, as soon as he drifted off to dreamland, a smack on his back woke him up.
Brother Chen! You got yourself some new shoes?
He looked up with bleary eyes to realize that it was the bald teenager sitting right in front of him who woke him up.
Bald Li! Are you crazy?
This is not the time to sleep! What are you supposed to do if you cant sleep during class later on?
Get lost, get lost! Chen Yu waved his hand in annoyance. He rested his head on the table once again and turned away.
Bald Lis real name was Li Liang. As he started balding since young, he decided to just shave his head to avoid getting mocked, which eventually gained him the nickname of Bald Li.
Due to the two of them being seated close to each other, Chen Yu and Li Liang frequently interacted with each other. In school, Li Liang could be considered one of Chen Yus close friends.
Hey! Wake Up! Brother Chen, did you get these shoes online? Why are they so dope? Are they a new model? How much did they cost?
Not even looking up, Chen Yu stretched out two fingers slowly.
Two thousand? Li Liang gasped.
Nah, two words: get lost!
Big Brother Chen, why are you so cold to me today? Li Liang complained like a girl.
In response to Li Liangs words, Chen Yu pulled out a broken chair leg with nails from his table
Do-Dont fool around! Sleep! Sleep as much as you want!
When Chen Yu woke up, class had already started.
His form teacher, who had a hunched back, was standing at the lectern, teaching as he scribbled on the blackboard with his chalk. None of the mans words were alien to Chen Yu, but when they were joined together, he couldnt understand anything.
Chen Yus math foundation was so weak that he could not understand high school mathematics even a tad.
Oh yeah!
While trying to make sense of the gibberish that his teacher was saying, Chen Yu suddenly smacked his head. He then took out his phone immediately, setting it to silent mode before opening up Bilibili and refreshing the technology section like a madman.
It was long past 9 A.M. by now, so his review video shouldve been posted already. He was eager to check out the feedback for his video.
But as time trickled past, his video had yet to appear on his homepage despite him refreshing till his hands were sore.
He didnt want to search up any related keywords in the search bar, as it would expose his identity.
No stranger would search for a new uploaders video unless it contained words that were trending. Only the newbie himself or someone who they knew personally would do so.
To keep his identity a total secret, Chen Yu could only refresh his homepage continuously if he wished to locate his video.
Or did it not go through the audit?
After persevering for another five minutes, Chen Yu exited Bilibili, opened up WeChat, and typed an inquiry.
[Chen Yu: My video should have been posted. Is there a chance that it failed to pass the audit?
[Transdimensional Marketing: No. We pay attention to your video constantly, thus we would resolve any problems for you. This includes the audit, copyright, and many more, even problems like blacklisting.]
[Chen Yu: I have a question. Since you can edit, upload the videos automatically, and even have control over my channel, why dont you just promote my videos yourself?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: According to Article 17 of the Earth Alliances Spacetime Anti-Monopoly Law, any business activities that involve other spacetimes must involve a natural citizen with perfect civic rights of that spacetime. He or she must also be given at least 51% of the profits. Note: Fame and promotion revenue generated from the advertisement are not included in the calculation of the actual revenue.]
[Chen Yu: Then wheres my 51% of the profits?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You have donated them to charity.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you have any other questions, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: Hows my video doing? How many views are there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Currently, your video has 48 views on Bilibili.]
[Chen Yu: Thats so few! Is it doomed?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Bilibilis promotion mechanism is separated into shares > comments > saves > bullet comments > views. Since you werent promoted by the editor of Bilibili, the number of views is still considered acceptable.]
[Chen Yu: Then Im at ease.]
Chen Yu exited WeChat and opened up Bilibili once again. He settled into a comfortable position and started scrolling up and down, up and down, up and down with his right hand.

Chapter 15 C No Time for Talk! Get On!
Ding Dong Ding Dong
The ringing of the school bell rang across the school, signifying that it was the end of the school day. At the same time, the students of Class 2-2 shot up from their sleep. It only took half a second for the sleepy students to be in glowing spirits.
Among them, Chen Yu was the fastest to get up!
With the help of the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes, all it took was a stride for Chen Yu to jump over the table. Before anyone could react to what was going on, Chen Yu jumped out of the window at lightning speed, leaving behind a gust of wind.
The form teacher sitting at the lectern was at a loss. What just whooshed by? He lifted his spectacles, puzzled.
Bang!
Chen Yu jumped down from the second level, landing on the ground steadily. He experienced a less intense shock.
The shock absorption is amazing! Chen Yu gasped, praising the basketball shoes performance before sprinting toward the school gate at an extreme speed immediately. He was in a rush to get home to look at the feedback for the video.
Just then, a PE teacher, who was practicing basketball by himself nearby, heard Chen Yus landing sound. He turned around right away to see Chen Yu sprinting off. His eyes lit up immediately.
That fast? A good seedling!
Without the slightest hesitation, the PE teacher threw the basketball away and paced up, chasing after Chen Yu. Student over there! Hold up!
Hearing the PE teachers voice, Chen Yu turned around to discover that he was being chased by a tall and strong teacher. Assuming that the teacher was here to lecture him for jumping out of the window, Chen Yu picked up his speed without hesitation.
Hey, dont run! Slow down, kid! Stop!
In response to the PE teachers words, Chen Yu ran even faster.
With the additional boost of the basketball shoes, the difference between Chen Yu and the teachers speed was as different as night and day. In just thirty seconds, Chen Yu had dashed out of the school gate and turned left.
Wait! The PE teacher gritted his teeth and used up all his energy to go after Chen Yu. Stop running! Stop there!
Is this teacher nuts? Chen Yu found a short moment to look back at the fierce and scary muscular teacher, which left him puzzled and in a slight panic.
He had only jumped out of a window. His actions did not bring about any serious consequences. Was there a need to chase after him so intensely?
Kid! Dont run! What are you running for?! the PE teacher yelled, ignoring the strange stares the passersby were giving him. Picking up his speed, he shouted, What are you running for?! Im not going to beat you up!
Hes going to beat me up as well?
Sprinting on the bustling street, all Chen Yu could faintly hear was the word beat. He was so scared that blood drained from his face. Chen Yu did not dare to stop at all now.
Vroom!
Just then, a policeman patrolling on his motorcycle saw the scene. Thinking that Chen Yu was a thief, he immediately made a turn and sped up. Under the growling of the engine, he made his way over to the PE teacher. Get on!
Ah?
The PE teacher stared at him blankly. Im Im just
Theres no time for talk! Get on!
The annoyed and stern expression on the policemans face made the PE teacher get on the motorcycle subconsciously.
Sit tight! Well take him down together! Remember, hide behind me!
Ah? Ah! Okay!
Vroom!
The policeman turned the throttle and put the police siren on, dashing for Chen Yu, who was slowly getting further from them.
Wee Woo Wee Woo Wee Woo
Hearing the police siren behind him that was getting closer, Chen Yu nearly burst out in tears.
What was this?
He had only jumped out of a window!
Was there a need to call the police?!
This is crazy That guys insaneScared out of his wits, Chen Yu ran into any random alley that he saw. Did I step on something expensive and break it?
Realizing that he might have gotten into trouble, Chen Yu ignored the fact that his energy was draining away and pushed his speed to the maximum.
Wee Woo Wee Woo
Following Chen Yu, who was scuttling through different complex alleys, the policeman frowned. Isnt he a little too fast? Is he on the schools relay team?
Hearing him, the PE teacher on the backseat nodded his head hard. Yes! he said with excitement. Thats why Im having such a tough time chasing after him. Such a good seedling! A champion in the making!
Squeak!
The motorcycle came to a sudden break. The policeman took off his helmet and turned to the PE teacher in utter disbelief. Whatdid you say? he stammered.
Ah? I I said that Im after him because hes fast.
Policeman:
PE teacher:
After staring at each other for three seconds, the PE teacher was thrown off the motorcycle as the policeman put his helmet back on and turned the throttle furiously, leaving behind a puff of exhaust gas in the PE teachers face.
Cough cough cough!
The PE teacher covered his nose and mouth, coughing furiously. He stared into the end of the alley, but Chen Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Hes gone.
The PE teacher stood rooted to the ground for a long time. He sighed regretfully and turned around immediately, making his way back to the school.
The surveillance cameras! I must find that student!
Despite hearing the distant police siren coming to an abrupt stop, Chen Yu continued sprinting for another minute. Only after he had run out of stamina did he slump against a big rock in the alley, panting heavily.
I I think I managed to escape.
What the actual hell was that
After a long rest, Chen Yu stood up with the help of the wall. He kneaded his aching calf muscles and took out his phone, taking a glance at the time before going toward the direction of his home.
What did I step on just now? I didnt feel anything when I landed
About ten minutes later, an utterly confused and edgy Chen Yu reached home. He unlocked the door and walked into the entrance hall.
Hearing him, Mother Chen, who was busy cooking, walked out of the kitchen. She firstly took a look at Chen Yus messy hair and then the bottom of his trousers that were stained with water and mud. Were you chased by a dog? She frowned.
Mhmm.
You really were chased by a dog?! Mother Chen asked, astounded.
Yeah. Chen Yu nodded.
What type of dog? Were you bitten?
A mad dog. Worn out, Chen Yu changed into his slippers and walked into the living room. But Im fast, so nope.
Chen Erke, who was in the living room, trotted over with eyes wide open. She had long arrived home from school. Big brother, you were bitten by a dog?
It did not get me. Not wanting to say more, Chen Yu waved his hand and walked into his room, shutting the door. Ill take a short rest. Call me when its meal time.
Plop!
Chen Yu spread his arms and legs wide on the bed. He shut his eyes to take a five minute rest. Afterward, he stood up and sat at his study table, opening his laptop.
Compared to the small incident that took place on his way home, Chen Yu was currently more concerned about how well his unboxing video was doing right now.
Twenty seconds later, the screen changed into the graphic user interface. Chen Yu immediately took control of his mouse and clicked into the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal application. He saw the changes in his [Profile] immediately.

[Mission 1: Reach 500 viewers (83/500) and 50 subscribers (9/50) on the first advertisement.]
I have nine subscribers and eighty-three viewers now.
After learning the two statistics that he wanted from [Profile], Chen Yu double-clicked his mouse and entered Bilibilis account management platform under the marketing terminals privacy protection.
The statistics in the account management platform were way more detailed.

I have 335 views but only 83 viewers? Chen Yu was confused. Did they watch the video multiple times? Or are viewers only counted when they finish the video?
Chen Yu shrugged and went to watch his video.
The next minute, the Chen Yu with a Peking opera mask appeared on the screen.
A red bullet comment appeared at the top of the video.
[Warning! This video is real! Its entirely on nuclear energy!]
Chapter 16
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
[Warning! This video is real! Its entirely on nuclear energy!]
As this bullet comment passed by, Chen Yus figure in the video could be seen grabbing the box containing the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory with both hands and banging it on the table. Hello everybody, he said, looking into the camera. Welcome to Transdimensional Reviews first episode. Today, the product we will be looking into is a childrens puzzle toy by Yue Tu Company. Its called the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory!
[Here before it goes viral.]
[Uranium-235? Toy?]
[Bullshit]
Bullet comments slid past the screen from right to left. In the video, Chen Yu was adjusting his mask. So, without further ado, lets start, he continued.
With that, he tore the plastic wrapper off the toolbox and unlocked it. Now, Im done with the unboxing. Onto the next step C introduction of the product.
[Straightforward!]
[The fastest unboxing in history.]
As everyone can see, theres a number of different fun-sized laboratory apparatuses here in the lab. Ill do a short explanation for each of them.
Chen Yu took up the manual on the side, flipped to page 3, and took a glance at the content. He pointed to a lens-like item. This is a spinthariscope, used for observing individual nuclear disintegrations.
This white box is a Geiger-Muller counter, used to measure radioactive emissions.
This small rod is an electroscope, used to detect the presence of electric charge.
The circular glass is called a Wilson cloud chamber, which consists of an indicator. Its used for visualizing the passage of ionizing radiation.
This is an alpha radioactive source made out of lead-210 and polonium-210.
And this is a beta radioactive source made of ruthenium-106.
This is a gamma radioactive source made of zinc-65.
Look at this large glass cover in the middle. This is protective gear that will protect you and your surroundings from explosions and isolates the radiation. Yeah, thats what the manual says.
While Chen Yu was doing an introduction in all seriousness, many bullet comments slid past rapidly.
[UP, are you serious?]
[I think I have discovered something incredible.]
[Happily reported. Wait to go to jail.]
[Im almost convinced by him.]
After the introduction of the different apparatuses, Chen Yu flipped through the manual. So, we are done with the introduction, and well go onto the next step C demonstration of product use. Due to time constraints, I wont be demonstrating the usage of the different apparatuses and will jump straight to making the atomic bomb model. But please take note that you should not play around with nuclear materials at home. Its a dangerous and serious violation of the law to do so.
[Youre the only one who would do so.]
[Youre the only one who would do so.]
[Youre the only one who would do so.]
[Guys, time to leave. UPs grave already has grass growing on it.]
He flipped to the page with the instructions and slipped his hands into the insulated gloves that were part of the protective gear. Chen Yu fiddled with the aluminium piece in the protective gear as he educated his viewers on science by reading off the manual. As everyone knows, a uranium-235 atom contains 143 neutrons and 92 protons. After a uranium-235 atom is bombarded by a neutron, it will split into two elements, barium and krypton. It will also release two to three free neutrons and a large amount of energy equivalent to about 200 watts.
[As everyone knows, Im the only one thats clueless.]
[Is UP really going to build a nuclear bomb???]
[Its fake. Use your brain. These ingredients arent attainable by any ordinary man! And even if he was able to get them, why would he post a video of it openly, digging his own grave?]
In the video, Chen Yu was holding onto an almost microscopic ball. The free neutrons will go on bombarding other uranium-235 atoms, initiating continuous, self-sustaining fission. This is called a chain reaction. The complete fission of 0.1 grams of uranium is equivalent to two tons of TNT! According to the manual, what Im holding is concentrated uranium-235!
[Wow!]
[Sounds so dope! Is this true?]
[I cant see it clearly.]
[First time on Bilibili. Am I in an ACGN world? Im in love.]
Chen Yu put down the uranium-235 ball and pointed to the spherical projectile in the protective gear. There are two types of atomic bomb structures: an implosion-type and a gun-type. For this toy, its an implosion-type. According to the manual, we need to put the spherical detonator on before inserting the uranium into the projectile, which is this circular detonator.
He then took a cylindrical item and stuffed it into the case.
Now, we shall add in the circular aluminum piece, which will be compressed after the bomb is detonated
This is plutonium-239, an isotope that has a higher probability of undergoing nuclear fission in comparison to uranium-235
lastly, a polonium-beryllium neutron initiatorand were done!
After about eight minutes of detailed demonstration, Chen Yu finally shut the lid and pulled out his hands excitedly. We are done with filling up the projectile!
[Nice! Full marks for your hands-on!]
[I cant believe Im watching someone build an atomic bomb on Bilibili.]
[Looks fun, will I be able to get it for real?]
[UP, are you sure that this is a toy?]
[Will it explode?]
[Hahaha, it would be incredible if it does.]
Rubbing his hands, Chen Yu stretched his sore nape. He then took the manual to do an explanation. This model uses a layered structure so that it detonates from the outside in. As you guys saw just now
The spherical detonator is the outer layer. There are thirty-two miniature bags of gunpowder in it. When the bomb is detonated, the shockwave will compress the aluminium piece into the plutonium-239, which would be compressed further, causing the polonium-beryllium neutron initiator to release neutrons and begin the nuclear fission process!
Let me repeat myself: this is a puzzle toy for children. It can develop a childs motor skills and basic skills. This will also develop their love for nuclear energy from a young age!
[And thats how humans go extinct.]
[Buy buy buy! Where can I buy it? ( ????)]
[This UP is incredible. Subscribed.]
[What freaking childrens toy is this?]
[A toy that toys with your life!]
[A toy that you can only play with once in your life.]
[UP is very near to being mutated.]
[Detonate! Detonate! Detonate!]
[Nuclear energy ahead!]
[Warning! Nuclear energy ahead!]
Now, lets move onto the last step, which is to press this button. We could be considered to have experienced a full process of making a nuclear weapon.]
Counting down!
5.
4.
3.
2.
1!
Launch!
At that time, Chen Yu was unaware that the button could actually cause an explosion. He only did it based on what he saw in the movies; reaching out his hand to press down on the button dramatically.
Click!
With a sharp and clear click, the uranium-235 atomic bombs protective gear lab let out a special type of gas all of the sudden, turning the glass of the protective gear gray.
And Chen Yu could hear a boom!
Boom!
The bomb model exploded under Chen Yus eyes. He was absolutely terrified!
Exploded!
It had exploded!
Boom!
A dazzling ray of light that was as bright as the sun appeared!
Even under the filter of the special gas and gray protection gear, it still couldnt prevent Chen Yus eyes from stinging.
Boom boom boom.
The toolbox vibrated violently, causing the apparatuses to fly out and the makeshift table that Chen Yu painstakingly built to collapse.
Suddenly, a miniature mushroom cloud could be seen on the screen, and a piece of meme music about explosions played in the background.
And a chain of bullet comments could be seen, blocking half of the image on the screen!
[************!]
[It exploded?]
[FFFFFFFFFFFFF!]
[Knowledge is power.]
[I was here.]
[The scene of a Brand S mobile phone exploding.]
[Crap! Amazing!]
[It really exploded? Did UP make a nuclear weapon for real?]
[Special effects. The atomic bomb is so small, how could it create a mushroom cloud? The glass is fine too.]
[It broke! The glass broke! Such a cool effect. Ahhhhhhhhh!]
[Live testing of a GTX1070.]
[UP, youre dope, I salute you, sincerely.]
[Third time viewing this.]
[My fourth!]
[The mushroom cloud is so beautiful.]
[Chibaku Tensei!]
[OHHHHHHHHHH!]
[World peace!]
[The best toy for children! ()]
[Open up! Police are here.]

The video had ended, but Chen Yu hadnt really had enough of the video.
Watching a video on Bilibili with and without bullet comments were two experiences that were as different as night and day.
Chen Yu was not a narcissistic person, but being an avid Bilibili user, he was sure that this video was up to standard or even better. He should be able to meet the target given by Transdimensional Marketing.
He pulled out his phone and entered WeChat, typing a message quickly and sending it over.
[Chen Yu: After watching the video, I feel that it was okay. There are quite a number of bullet comments and regular comments too, but why are there so few views?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its mainly due to the title and thumbnail, which arent captivating enough. It did not pique the interest of many Bilibili users that came across your video. We have the detailed statistics here, and I can send them to you if you need them.]
Is that so? Chen Yu took a glance at the video title on his laptop screen.
[Chen Yu: Send it over then.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay, hold on.]
[Chen Yu: One more question; how do you calculate the viewers?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its the number of users that stayed throughout the video.]
[Chen Yu: So if they left without finishing the video, it wont be counted?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. The 86 viewers that you have symbolize that there are only 86 users who watched the entire video.]
[Chen Yu: I get it. Thank you so much.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Happy to help. See you.]
After receiving the statistics from the other party, Chen Yu turned off his phone and sat on his chair, pondering. After a few moments, he sat up, logged into Bilibilis account management platform, and changed the title and thumbnail of his video.
The title became: Shocking! A teenager building an atomic bomb at home?
The thumbnail was switched to the scene of the mini mushroom cloud in the video.
It should be more captivating now, even though its a little bit mainstream. Ill check how it goes tomorrow.
The next morning, the first thing that Chen Yu did as soon as he woke up was open his laptop.
He didnt know whether it was the correct choice to change a title or whether his video got recommended by Bilibilis system automatically or both, but when Chen Yu logged into the admin zone of Bilibili, the statistics threw Chen Yu off his feet.

Especially the donationsit was ten times more than yesterday!
The ratio of 2,758 plays to the other 6 statistics proved how excellent this video quality was. It was indeed captivating.
Wow, looks like Im going to become famous
After a few moments of staring at the screen blankly, Chen Yu exited the admin zone immediately and clicked onto the [Profile] tab.

Damn!
After a long pause, Chen Yu leapt up all of a sudden, punching in the air hard. He jumped up and down excitedly.
It never crossed Chen Yus mind that he would be able to pass his first mission within a day!
Even though he was lacking two subscribers, it would only be a matter of time until he reached fifty subscribers.
Holding in the excitement, he took his mobile phone that was charging at his bedside and opened up WeChat, typing furiously.
[Chen Yu: Ive completed the mission!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We have been monitoring your progress constantly. Congrats, Mr. Chen!]
[Chen Yu: I have to thank you for the product you got me. A nuclear energy explosive Its a perfect gimmick.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its my job.]
[Chen Yu: Will I get any special prizes for completing the mission early?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No, but completing the mission early will buy me more time to find a good product for your next video.]
[Chen Yu: Oh. It would be good if I could get more prizes like that pair of basketball shoes.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: (Smiley face)]
[Chen Yu: For the next video, what kind of product are you preparing to get me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It will be decided by the higher-ups, but Mr. Chen, you can choose a few types and I will try my best to get something that you would prefer.]
[Chen Yu: Do you have a genetic serum that can turn someone into a superman with just one injection?]

[Chen Yu: Or perhaps some high-tech machine that can print cash?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Then anything would do. It would be best if its something that Ill be able to make use of and comes with good entertainment value for the video.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We will try our best.]
Chen Yu put down his phone and navigated his mouse, clicking into the [Profile] block. Within a few minutes, he gained another subscriber, increasing the number from 48 to 49. At this rate, it wouldnt take more than 20 more minutes for him to reach 50 subscribers.
Chen Yu put his laptop away, smiling from ear to ear. He lay back on his bed and looked through Bilibili while waiting for breakfast to be prepared by Mrs. Chen. After having breakfast, he took his sisters to school.
Brother, I think you forgot your bag.
On the way to school, Chen Yike realized that Chen Yu only had three bags with him. Ill take our younger sisters to school, you can go home and get it, she said at once.
No need. Chen Yu smiled proudly. I didnt even bring my bag home yesterday.
Much respect.
You flatter me.
A few minutes later, Chen Yu came to a stop. Chen Yu passed the bag in his left hand to Chen Sanke. Take it. Stay safe and have fun!
Okay! Chen Sanke took her bag and waddled into the kindergarten.
About eight minutes later, Chen Yu came to a stop again. He passed Chen Erke the bag in his right hand. Lao Er, pay attention to the lessons. Tell me if anyone bullies you.
Yes! Chen Erke took her bag and ran into her school excitedly.
Five minutes later. Chen Yu came to a stop, once again. He took off the bag from his chest and threw it to Chen Yike. No dating! Or Ill break your leg!
Bang!
Ouch! Grabbing his calf, Chen Yu crouched down slowly as he watched Chen Yike getting further away. Am I trapped on the same day?
Sixth High, Class 2-2:
As usual, Chen Yu walked along the side of the classroom to his seat and fished out his phone, scrolling through it.
Brother Chen, when did you leave yesterday? I did not see you during the last lesson. Li Liang turned around from his seat, asking.
Chen Yu shrugged, not giving him an answer.
He moved incredibly fast yesterday, and his seat was right at the back of the classroom, thus it was perfectly fine if nobody noticed him when he jumped out of the window yesterday.
Remembering that he had jumped out of the window yesterday and seemed to get into trouble, Chen Yu facepalmed and dug out a used one-time anti-smog face mask from his desk, wearing it.
There was a chance that the PE teacher would be here today to look for him, considering how determined he was to catch him yesterday
Indeed, Chen Yu was right; almost immediately after the school bell rang, signifying the start of class, a few muscular teachers broke into his class. Meanwhile, leading this group of teachers was none other than the insane PE teacher that chased after him yesterday!
Chen Yu:
Chapter 18

Class! The PE teacher walked up to the lectern, looking down at the students of Class 2-2. Gesturing with his hand, he shouted,Get up! Assemble at the field right now!
However, despite hearing the PE teachers words, Class 2s students showed no respect to him whatsoever, as none of them stood up from their seats. Instead, every one of them started whispering to each other.
Who is he?
No idea.
I think I saw him around in school once. Could it be the PE teacher?
We still have PE teachers in high school?
Good high schools dont, but ours do.
I heard that my dad had PE lessons during his high school days
I had them during primary school too. Those are some great memories
Hearing the students disjointed words, the PE teacher couldnt help but feel sorrowful. Class, Im Niu Lanshan, the PE teacher at your school. You can call me Mr. Niu. This is our first meeting in two years. There will be a physical fitness assessment taking place today for the whole school, so I need your class to get up and gather at the field right now!
Oh.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
I love PE! Long live Mr. Niu!
Lets go.
After a short silence in Class 2-2, both male and female students were all bustling with excitement as they scrambled to the door.
Realizing that the situation was not going well for him, Chen Yu stood up without hesitation and blended himself into the crowd.
As the crowd flowed out of the class along with Chen Yu, he was in despair.
From the windows in the hallway, Chen Yu could clearly see the whole school standing in neat rows at the back of the school field, waiting for the physical fitness assessment to begin.
Did I step on your ancestors grave? Is there a need for such a huge commotion?
Chen Yu wanted to escape, but the PE teachers were already following their class. If he dropped out of the crowd right now, he would be eye-catching for sure. Thus, he had no choice but to follow the crowd down to the field and stand with the school under another PE teachers command
No matter who you are, as long as you are a student of No. 6 Senior High, Ill find you. Niu Lanshan stood at the front of the field, nodding his head in satisfaction. He turned to the discipline director next to him. Director, is the whole school here?
Uh The discipline director raised his finger, counting class by class. Thirty seconds later; Yes, theyre all here. None of the classes are missing. He nodded.
Great.
What did you tell our principal? Is there a need to cause such a huge scene? the discipline director asked, puzzled.
Haha. Niu Lanshan smiled, lowering his volume. Theres a genius in our school, and I found him.
Genius? This is Sixth High, are you sure theres a genius here?
Theres no doubt. I can dig up any genius no matter how deep theyre hidden, Niu Lanshan said, boasting. He then took the loudspeaker from the discipline directors hands and gave it a few sound tests before shouting at the students with it, Students! This physical fitness assessment is extremely important. Please give it your best! The school will be recommending the students that do well here to participate in the countrys second-grade athletic physical fitness assessment. If you pass the assessment, you will be categorized as a student with special talent in sports and gain over ten marks or even several dozen marks for the national examinations! This is an incredibly rare opportunity!
Unfortunately, this opportunity did not spark up the interest of Sixth Highs students whatsoever. The students stood at their places, looking extremely bored and lacking motivation.
As the students of Jinzhou Districts Sixth High School, a few dozen marks would not make a difference to their national college entrance exam.
Attention, we shall start with year one students. You will be assessed with a 100-meter sprint using this track! Niu Lanshan pointed to the 100-meter track on the outside of the field. You will run in groups of eight, and each of you will only have one chance. Your results will be taken down immediately. Warming up starts now!
Right after Niu Lanshan finished his words, he only swallowed a mouth of saliva before he announced again, Times up! Now, start!
Sixth Highs students and teachers:
The physical fitness assessment started.
After the first group of Class 1-1 ended the assessment, Chen Yu was certain that this was just a show that was being put on to get him, because the PE teacher at the endpoint didnt even bring a book or a pen to record the results. All the teacher did was fiddle with a stopwatch.
So what was he assessing? The speed at which his hand could move?
Chen Yu started to look for chances to escape.
Unfortunately, any student that tried to report in sick would be brought to Niu Lanshan for a look. Chen Yu dared not risk it. After a tough decision, Chen Yu decided to stay with his class, hoping that Niu Lanshan would fail to recognize him during his assessment with his group.
Just what on earth did I step on yesterday?
Chen Yu felt like tearing up right now.
Time passed, and very soon, every year one student had done the assessment. They were brought back to the classroom blocks by their respective form teachers.
Year two students, we will conduct the assessment following the sequence! Niu Lanshan shouted through the loudspeaker. He frowned and drank a mouthful of water.
According to his conjecture, the student that ran so fast yesterday was most likely part of the year one students. However, even after going through all the year one male students, he still hadnt found the student he was looking for. He could not help but grow anxious at this situation. For a moment, he even started wondering if he had let that student slip through his observation.
Little Niu, how is it going on? Did you manage to find him? A slightly obese man who was around sixty walked over to Niu Lanshan with a huge group of teachers following him. He asked, smiling happily.
Hearing this, Niu Lanshan immediately turned around to greet him. Principal, youre here.
Im here to take a look. The principal nodded in acknowledgement. Have you found that kid?
Soon. Hes not a year one kid, so Im moving on to the year two students now. Just like I guessed, he should be a year two student.
If you manage to find that seedling, you would have performed a meritorious deed to the school! But are you sure that hes good enough to be a national champion?
Principal, didnt we take a look at the surveillance system together yesterday. With that speed, theres a chance that he might be the best in Asia! Niu Lanshan rubbed his hands in excitement.
Thats good, thats good. The principal laughed heartily. Its such a pity that we only got a back view of him and the front view was blurry. Otherwise, we wouldnt have to go through all this trouble.
As they were having a conversation, Class 2-1 had finished their round. Now, it was time for Class 2-2, Chen Yus class.
Eight in a group. Theres no need for girls to do it, only boys!
A PE teacher walked up, pointing at eight students randomly. You, you, you, youand you. Come up.
Eight of the male students who were chosen walked up to the track.
But to Chen Yu, he felt as if he was walking up to an execution ground instead.
Go!
As soon as they heard the command, Chen Yus classmates took off immediately, running with slow steps.
Normally, a schools academic performance and sports performance were inversely proportional.
However, Sixth High was an exception. Not only were the students here the worst school in town when it came to academics, but they were also the worst in sports!
Why was that so? Even Jinzhou Districts Ministry of Education was trying to figure out why
Next group! You, you
Chen Yu was called to go as part of the second group for Class 2-2.
Hu.
He took in a deep breath, wore his mask well, and walked up to the starting point with his seven classmates. He chose the 2nd lane, which would be less obvious.
Take off your mask.
His body freezing up, Chen Yu said, Teacher, I have a cold.
Take it off.
It might be an infectious flu.
Take it off.
Uh fine.
Noticing that the other party was starting to get suspicious, Chen Yu took off his mask and lowered his head, trying to hide his face from Niu Lanshan, who was standing near him. He was prepared to finish the run with his normal speed.
But as time trickled by, there was no still instruction for them to start. Chen Yu felt a sense of danger and looked up subconsciously to see Niu Lanshan running over with a group of teachers.
Thats him! Dont let him get away!
Chapter 19

Thats him! Dont let him get away!
Upon hearing the shout, Chen Yu immediately turned around, wanting to escape, but he was trapped by the PE teachers who were on standby since long ago.
As the unbearable smell of armpit stench drifted into Chen Yus nose, he fell into total despair. You win! You guys win, alright?! Im not going anywhere! I admit I was the one that jumped out of the window yesterday
End of the assessment! Return to your classes now!
After shouting through the loudspeaker, Niu Lanshan ran toward Chen Yu immediately. He held onto Chen Yus hands tightly as he trembled with excitement. I finally found you!
Chen Yu: It must have been hard for you.
Principal! Niu Lanshan turned around, shouting in excitement. Ive found him! The student from last night!
Wonderful! The plump principal seemed to be thrilled too. To my office, now!
Yes. Niu Lanshan nodded sternly and grabbed Chen Yus wrist tightly, dragging him away.
Teacher, am I being sentenced to death? Why are you grabbing onto me so tightly?
Ah, I got too excited. Niu Lanshan loosened his grip. Hurry up. Follow the principal to his office.
Chen Yu:
Currently, Chen Yu was feeling immense regret. Just because he wanted to get back home a few seconds earlier, he ended up having to face such a consequence today.
Under the respectful gazes of the entire student body, Chen Yu was escorted into the school building and all the way to the principals office that was on the fifth floor by many teachers and the principal of Sixth High.
Greetings, my boy. Im your principal, Principal Pang.
As soon as Chen Yu stepped into the office, the principal pushed Niu Lanshan to the side. He came up to Chen Yu, holding his hands and smiling at him warmly. How may I address you, my boy?
I
Chen Yu was struck dumb by the abnormal attitude. His brain was currently in a mess.
Principal, hes a student in my class. Hes called Chen Yu. Chen Yus form teacher popped out from the crowd of teachers.
Im not asking you. Principal Pang glared at the form teacher and waved his hand in annoyance. Get out! All of you, get out! What are all of you still doing here? Dont you need to work?
After getting rid of the unrelated people, Principal Pang turned back to Chen Yu, wearing a gentle smile on his face. Student Chen Yu, come sit here. Well have a chat.
This
Theres no need to constrain yourself. Youre the genius of Sixth High, you can speak to me like we are of the same status.
Ge-Genius? Chen Yu was now completely dumbstruck.
Ah, let me introduce you to him, Student Chen Yu. Principal Pang pointed at Niu Lanshan, doing an introduction. Hes the teacher who discovered your talent yesterday, the PE teacher of Sixth High, Niu Lanshan.
Nice to meet you, Student Chen Yu! Niu Lanshan reached out a hand in excitement.
Oh. He shook Niu Lanshans hand blankly as he slowly realized what was going on. So you were after me because of my speed?
Thats right! Niu Lanshan patted Chen Yus back. I knew that you were a good seedling from the way you ran. Why did you run off yesterday night? I couldnt possibly have eaten you up, right?
Chen Yu:
Instantly, Chen Yu felt as if ten thousand llamas were just galloping across his brain.
So all of this took place just because he ran too fast last night?
Student Chen Yu, why did you not display your talent during PE lessons normally?
We We dont have PE lessons.
Thats absurd! Principal Pang smacked his hand hard on the table. Sixth High focuses on both intelligence and physical fitness! How can your health be forsaken for studies!?
But the key thing was that Sixth High had never once done well in studies, either
Chen Yu held in the urge to ridicule.
Student Chen Yu, its a good thing that youve brought this to my attention just in time. From today onward, no class should be exempted from physical education! Principal Pang said sternly. He turned to the discipline director, who was sitting in the corner. Hold a meeting in the afternoon! Make it clear that PE class will be mandatory from today onward and students will have to take care of both studies and physical fitness. We will do well for both!
Yes, principal, this is a good idea. I will arrange it now.
Principal Pang nodded and returned his attention back to Chen Yu as the discipline director took his leave. He smiled at Chen Yu widely and held his hand, trying to show his friendliness and make Chen Yu feel valued. Sixth High teaches students according to their aptitude. Since you have an aptitude in running, its our job and responsibility as your school to cultivate you and make you the pillar of our society!
Mmm Chen Yu stared at his feet. So youre thinking of having me develop in sports?
Yes! Niu Lanshan replied excitedly. Join the school team, participate in training, and compete as our school representative! We also want to train you into a professional athlete.
No. Chen Yu rejected the offer immediately, waving his hand.
He knew his ability well.
He was only able to run so quickly because of the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes. If he chose to participate in various running competitions, it was only a matter of time before his secret got out. At that time, he might even get himself into trouble because of the basketball shoes.
This This Why? The excitement disappeared from Niu Lanshans face and was replaced with confusion at once. He never thought that Chen Yu would reject him.
Youre being too anxious! You scared him! Seeing what was happening, Principal Pang glared at Niu Lanshan unhappily. He patted the back of Chen Yus hand kindly. Student Chen Yu, we only want you to join the school team, train, and represent the school in different competitions. Be a professional athlete and bring glory back to our nation!
What was the difference between his version and yours?! Chen Yu inwardly retorted. His complexion darkening, he repeated, No.
This This Why? Principal Pang was unable to believe his ears.
Im a student. I dont wish to do sports. I only wish to study properly, Chen Yu said, stressing every word.
Student Chen Yu! Niu Lanshan yelled, face flushing red in anger. Why would you even think of studying?
Chen Yu: ?
Thats right, Student Chen Yu, Principal Pang persuaded. At Sixth High, studying has no future.
Chen Yu: ???
Since youre born with this talent, make full use of it! How proud would your family and ancestors be if you end up as an Olympic champion? Niu Lanshan stepped forward and patted Chen Yus thighs. Look at your sturdy muscles. I am sure you will be able to be an excellent sprinter after being professionally trained by me! Trust me!
No! Chen Yu stood up, dashing to the door. A students job is to study! I have class
Thats a losers job! Niu Lanshan jumped to the door, blocking Chen Yus way. Youre a genius! The genius of Sixth High! The job of a genius is to run! What the hell are you studying for?
Chen Yu:

So theres no room for discussion?
In Sixth Highs principals office, facing Chen Yu, who was determined to take his leave, Principal Pangs face fell gradually.
Theres no room for discussion. Chen Yu waved his hands firmly. I only want to focus on my studies.
Study my foot!
Screw studying!
Is he even a student of Sixth High? Why is studying all he thinks about?
Is studying more important than a gold medal?
Principal Pang took in a deep breath, trying his best to keep his boiling anger down. He forced a smile on his face. Student Chen Yu, your alma mater would never harm you. Its best for you to develop your talent.
No! Chen Yu shook his head. I want to study!
Bang!
At last, Principal Pang lost his calm. He banged onto the table hard and pointed toward Niu Lanshan. Little Niu, get Chen Yus form teacher over.
Yes! Niu Lanshan nodded firmly, trotting out of the door.
Principal, what are you trying to do?
I want to see how good your studies are that its on your mind so much.
Five minutes later, under Niu Lanshans lead, Class 2-2s form teacher walked in timidly. He took a glance at Chen Yu and back at Principal Pang, who looked furious. Prin Principal, Im here, he said cautiously.
Chen Yus a student from your class, right? Principal Pang at Chen Yu.
Y-Yes. Hes from my class.
How are his results?
Uh The form teacher was unsure of Principal Pangs intention.
Be honest!
Thirdor fourthin the class
Oh? Principal Pang eyed Chen Yu up and down, surprised. Your results are not
From the bottom. Before Principal Pang could finish his words, the form teacher gulped, adding on.
Principal Pang:
Niu Lanshan:
Chen Yu replied, Sometimes I am better. Im fifth from the bottom or even higher at times too!
Is there a need to study if thats what youre doing?! Principal Pang thundered all of a sudden.
Well I attach importance to participation Chen Yu said awkwardly. Im best at language! I can beat about seven to eight classmates when it comes to language!
Prin-Principalwhats going on? the form teacher asked hesitantly.
He! Principal Pang opened his mouth to say something, but he was too angry to talk. After a long pause, Principal Pang finally calmed down. He narrated the situation to Chen Yus form teacher while making gestures with his hands. Mr. Niu, our PE teacher, discovered that Student Chen Yu is very talented in sports. He would be able to take the title of provincial champion with just the speed he displayed in the surveillance cameras recording. How good would he be after receiving professional training? Im sure that this is good for not only Student Chen Yu, but our school and province as well! How honorable would it be if he could get a sprinting championship and bring glory back to the country?
This Its indeed a happy thing! But how did it result in a quarrel? the form teacher asked. His eyes were lighting up in surprise.
If a student of his earned a championship, setting aside the benefits he would get directly or indirectly, just the achievement alone would be enough for him to brag about for years!
Its obviously a good thing! But Principal Pang pointed at Chen Yu resentfully. He was upset that Chen Yu had failed his expectations. He rejected the offer and insisted on studying!
Studying? the form teacher said blankly before staring at Chen Yu with widened eyes. Chen Yu? What are you thinking? Is studying something that you should think about?
Chen Yu:
Ill have the last say in this. Chen Yu, go for training and bring glory to our class and Sixth High!
I Im not even good at running! Chen Yu was on the verge of breaking into tears.
Not good? Are you muddle-headed? The police officer on his motorcycle couldnt even catch up to you! Niu Lanshan clenched his fist with grief and indignation. With your talent, the world championship is just within reach if you start training from a young age!
Hah Chen Yu let out a sigh and plopped down on the office chair, leaning back tactically. I just want to study, and nobody can stop me from doing that. Studying is the stairway for humans to improve. Studying is the direction that Ill move toward in life. Studying is the basis of our countrys prosperity. I love studying.
Then Ill ban you from entering the classroom! The form teacher straightened up his hunching back.
Then Ill go to the minister of education! Chen Yu retorted.
Great! Niu Lanshan clapped. They would advise you to pick up sports too!
Chen Yu: Just spare me.
Principal, I think we should discuss this with Chen Yus parents. Hes too young and immature to take responsibility for his future, his form teacher walked to Principal Pangs side, suggesting.
Yes! We must discuss it with his parents. Principal Pang agreed immediately and turned to Chen Yu. Student Chen Yu, well leave now! Well take my car!
My My parents are at work. Chen Yus face fell.
Then well go when they get off work.
They get off work late. It would be a hassle.
Well go over any time after theyre off.
They only get off work at 2 or 3 A.M. every day.
Then Ill sleep at your house! Principal Pang answered. He was extremely firm with his decision.
Let alone an Asian sprinting champion, if his school could produce a national champion, as the principal that personally discovered this talent, he would definitely receive a promotion!
Nothing was more important than the promotion of status!
He refused to believe that a measly student could get away from his grasp!
At 1:30 P.M., Chen Yu returned to his class.
Under the stares of his classmates, Chen Yu returned to his seat, feeling like a fish out of water.
Brother Chen! Whats going on? I heard that the principal caught you! Its all around the school! Li Liang turned around when the English teacher wasnt looking. Youre going to be popular! he whispered excitedly.
Im going to be dead. Chen Yu lay down on the table. Every part of his body felt weak.
What happened?
Bald Li, let me ask you something first. If somebody is found to be in possession of items from the future, what would the consequences be?
Of course the government would put him through torturous interrogation!
Chen Yu:
Probably some psychological interrogation, trials, or even hypnosis.
Chen Yu:
Maybe they would even dissect the person.
Chen Yu:
Why are you asking this? Li Liang asked, puzzled.
Nothing. Chen Yu looked up and sat right up. With a poker face, he unzipped his bag and pulled out a brand-new Chinese textbook from his bag. Dont disturb me! I am going to study!
Huh? It made Li Liang even more confused.
I said I am going to study! So do not disturb me!
Are you going crazy?
Im going to study! Chen Yu yelled. His teacher at the lectern got such a bad shock that she dropped her chalk.
Chen Yu! She picked up the chalk that she dropped and turned to him. Are you mad?!
Teacher! I am going to study hard! Chen Yu raised his Chinese textbook and said with righteousness and force.
This is an English class!

Chapter 21 C Death to All Who Touch My Sister!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
At six in the evening, a knock came from the security door of Floor 19, Unit 1.
Tiptoeing before the door, Chen Erke was stunned to see Chen Yus figure through the peephole. She hurriedly opened the door and pounced on Chen Yu happily, saying, Big Brother, youre back!
Mhm.
Why are you back so early today?
I have some business, Chen Yu said as he ruffled Chen Erkes head. He then picked her up, turned around, and introduced her to the adults behind him, Principal Pang and Teacher Niu, this is my little sister.
Hello, little friend, Principal Pang said, smiling while extending his plump hand in an attempt to pet Chen Erkes head as well.
However, before Principal Pang could do so, Chen Yu moved Chen Erke away in disgust. Chen Erke was his precious little sister. How could he possibly let other men casually touch her?
Moreover, to do so right in front of him?
Was the principal tired of living?
Brother, why are you back so soon today Huh? They are Chen Yike, who had made her way over from the living room, asked, her words trailing off when she noticed the teachers standing behind Chen Yu.
Come in. Change your shoes here, Chen Yu said as he passed three pairs of slippers to Principal Pang, Niu Lanshan, and his form teacher. He then introduced them to Chen Yike, Eldest, this is my schools principal, Principal Pang. This here is my schools PE teacher, Niu Lanshan. This here is my form teacher.
Greetings, teachers! Chen Yike greeted and bowed in an extremely polite manner. My brothers mischievous behavior mustve caused you all a lot of trouble.
What a well-mannered young lady!
Chen Yikes decent etiquette surprised Niu Lanshan. Subconsciously, he extended his hand in an attempt to pet Chen Yikes head as well. However, Chen Yu mercilessly stopped him from doing so.
This muscle-brain! I knew he wasnt anything good! Chen Yu cursed inwardly. On the surface, though, his expression remained unchanged as he said to Chen Yike, Eldest, quickly serve some tea to the three teachers.
Okay, Chen Yike responded before making her way to the kitchen to brew tea.
Eldest, are Mom and Dad not home yet?
No, but Ive cooked the rice already. Mom will cook the dishes when she gets back.
That wont be necessary, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. He then pointed at the three men behind him and said, Principal Pang is going to treat us to a meal. Well eat out tonight.
Huh? Principal Pang was stunned by Chen Yus words. However, he quickly responded, nodding and saying, Right, thats correct. Ill treat you all to dinner. Well head out to eat once your parents are back.
This Chen Yike felt awkward in this situation.
Theres nothing to be embarrassed about, Chen Yu said indifferently.
Right, this is something I should do as a principal, Principal Pang said.
After leading the three guests to the living room and serving them tea, Chen Yike hurriedly dragged Chen Yu to a corner and worriedly asked, Brother! Did you cause trouble again?! Why is the principal here?!
Explaining everything will take some time. Give Mom and Dad a call and have them come back quickly.
Is it bad news?
You can consider it bad news, but you can also consider it not bad.
Just what is it?! Chen Yike demanded anxiously.
Its fine, its fine. Just hurry up and give them a call. Its just a little trouble. It cant be considered bad news.
After pushing Chen Yike away, Chen Yu sat at the edge of the sofa and filled three cups with piping hot tea before filling his glass with Cola. He then raised his glass, fully expressing his hospitality as he said, Come, drink up!
Chen Yus words rendered Principal Pang, Niu Lanshan, and Chen Yus form teacher speechless.
Feel at home. No need to be polite here, Chen Yu said before he happily emptied his glass.
Feeling slightly awkward in this situation, Principal Pang turned to look at Chen Erke, who sat beside him. Upon noticing the lack of expression on the girls face, he changed the topic and said, Student Chen Yu, your little sister seems to be in a bad mood.
Thats natural, Chen Yu said as he placed his empty glass on the coffee table. Leaning back on the sofa, he explained, Youre sitting on her bed. Its natural for her to be unhappy.
Huh? Ah! Is that the case? Im sorry, little girl, Principal Pang said as he shifted his butt away slightly from Chen Erke.
Of course, he only managed to move half a centimeter.
Principal Since everyone was looking at each other in silence, Chen Yu decided to try one last time and said in a near-begging tone, Sports really isnt to my liking. I only wish to study properly
Pfff!
Before Chen Yu could even finish speaking, Chen Erke burst out in laughter.
His expression darkening, Chen Yu turned to his little sister and asked, What are you laughing at?
I suddenly thought of something funny.
Look! Even your little sister knows you dont have a future in studying! Chen Yus form teacher interrupted. You should focus on developing your strong points!
My brother is good at long jump! Chen Erke said, raising her hand. Hes very amazing!
You know how to long jump as well? Niu Lanshans eyes glowed immediately.
Keep your mouth shut! Chen Yu said as he hurriedly covered Chen Erkes mouth. He then fiercely shook his head and said, I cant. I cant even jump across manhole covers.
Well go through the various track-and-field events tomorrow and see which one youre best at, Niu Lanshan said as he crossed his arms. With an expectant look, he continued, With how fast you can run, you definitely wont have any problems with long jump. We can also give high jump a try.
Spare me
Chen Yu truly felt like crying right now. If not for the surveillance system having recorded his running speed before, he would definitely run barefoot before Niu Lanshan right now to prove himself as trash.
Teachers, have some fruit, Chen Yike said as she returned from the kitchen with a simple platter of fruits.
Young lady, you are very well-mannered, Principal Pang said. After taking a sip of his tea, he asked, Which school are you from? I can assign you to a good class if you come to Sixth High in the future.
Upon hearing Principal Pangs words, Chen Yu could not help growing anxious. However, before he could even open his mouth, Chen Erke said fearlessly, Doesnt that mean my sisters future is ruined?
Ah! Principal Pangs hand trembled when he heard Chen Erkes words, sloshing some of the hot tea in the cup he held on his lips and scalding them.
Niu Lanshan:
Form teacher:
Meanwhile, Chen Yike stomped her foot as she demanded angrily, Erke! How can you speak such nonsense?!
Thats right! Chen Yu was delighted when he heard Chen Erkes words. On the surface, however, he maintained a displeased look as he lightly tapped Chen Erkes head and said, Even if its the truth, you shouldnt say it out loud! Understand? (Little sister! Good job!)
The three teachers:
After hearing Chen Yus words, Chen Erke lowered her head and said, My bad. (Amazing, right?!)
Hurry up and apologize to the three teachers. (Taunt them! Taunt them! Kick them while theyre down!)
Tea-Teachers, Im sorry. Sixth High is still a good school. It is thanks to my big brother accidentally entering Sixth High that my elder sister and I realized the importance of studying. (Leave it to me!)
The three teachers:
Forget it. Stop speaking. Head back to Mom and Dads room to take care of Third Eldest. (Beautifully done! Now, escape quickly!)
Okay. (Hehe, I got praised.) Chen Yike then lowered her head and grabbed the edges of her shirt before pitifully leaving the living room.
Teachers, dont take it seriously. Those are only a childs babblings, Chen Yu said before hurriedly refilling his glass with Cola. He then used his now-opaque glass to cover his irrepressibly curling lips as he said, Let me apologize on behalf of my little sister, hahaburp
The three teachers:

Chapter 22 C Is Sixth High Doomed?
Upon receiving Chen Yikes call, Mother Chen promptly left the hotel she worked at and raced home at flying speeds. When she opened the door to the house and saw Chen Yus form teacher sitting in the living room, her heart immediately sank. However, she hurriedly forced a smile as she asked, Teacher, why are you here? Did Chen Yu cause trouble again?
I didnt
You keep your mouth shut! Mother Chen immediately glared at Chen Yu, stopping his attempt at clearing his name, before moving forward to refill the form teachers teacup. She then turned her gaze toward Principal Pang and Niu Lanshan as she asked the form teacher, Teacher, these two are
Mrs. Chen, youre being too polite, Chen Yus form teacher said as he stood up to receive the tea Mother Chen proffered. He then pointed at his superior and colleague and introduced them, This person here is Sixth Highs principal, Principal Pang. This other person here is Sixth Highs PE teacher, Teacher Niu.
Prin-Principal? Mother Chens heart sank even further upon hearing the form teachers introduction. She then extended a hand to Principal Pang while saying, Gr-Greetings, Principal.
As for the PE teacher, Niu Lanshan, Mother Chen ignored him completely.
PE teacher?
Did high schools still have the PE teacher profession?
Greetings! Greetings! Principal Pang said as he enthusiastically shook Mother Chens hand with both hands. I am Sixth Highs principal. You can just call me Principal Pang. The reason for todays sudden visit is a matter relating to Student Chen Yu. I hope you forgive us for our abruptness.
Did Did my son cause trouble again? Mother Chen asked anxiously as she turned to look at Chen Yu.
Why did you add again? Chen Yu questioned with an ugly expression. When did I cause trouble before?
Chen Yu! Youre still talking back?! Why arent you apologizing to Principal Pang yet?!
Mrs. Chen, you misunderstand. Sensing the hostile gaze Chen Yu was giving him, Principal Pang explained hurriedly, Student Chen Yu indeed did not cause any trouble. He is Sixth Highs most outstanding student. How could he possibly make mistakes?
Most outstanding?
When Mother Chen heard these two words, a thought instantly came to her mindHas Sixth High fallen to such a degree already?
Indeed. Principal Pang nodded while smiling. Student Chen Yu is extremely talented. He is Sixth Highs most outstanding student. The reason for our visit today is to discuss his future development with you.
Hesitantly, Mother Chen asked, Chen Chen Yu still has a future to develop?
Mom! Youre too much! Chen Yu shouted, mixed feelings filling his heart.
Creak!
At this time, the door to the house opened once more as Father Chen, who had gotten off work, arrived home. Upon seeing a bunch of strangers crowding the living room, he could not help asking, Whats going on?
Greetings! Principal Pang immediately extended a hand to Father Chen. I am Sixth Highs principal. You can just call me Principal Pang. This person here is Teacher Niu, while this other person here is Student Chen Yus form teacher.
Chen Yu! When Father Chen learned of the three strangers identities, his eyes promptly turned to Chen Yu as he demanded, What trouble did you cause again?!
Chen Yu:
Mr. Chen, you are disqualified as a parent if you behave in such a manner, Principal Pang said as he applied his acting skills and put up a solemn face. Student Chen Yu is Sixth Highs pride. As his parent, how could you treat him with so little value?
Pride?
At this word, a thought immediately surfaced in Father Chens mindHas Sixth High fallen to such a degree already?
Principal Pang. After changing into his house slippers, Father Chen walked up to Principal Pang and said, I dont quite understand what you mean.
Ive just told this to your partner, but we are here this time mainly to discuss Student Chen Yus future development, Principal Pang said. He then pointed at the door and continued, This is going to be a long discussion, so lets head out and find a restaurant to continue our chat. My treat.
This How can we possibly impose on you for this! Mother Chen originally planned to say that she would treat the three teachers. However, when she remembered the familys finances, she immediately changed her words and said, Lets eat at home. Home-cooked food is much better than what you can find in a restaurant. Ill start cooking right away.
No, no, no! Principal Pang hurriedly waved his hands. That will put too much trouble on you. Lets just eat out. Its much more convenient that way. You can bring the children, as well. Lets go, chil Huh? Where are the children?
By the time Principal Pang realized it, Chen Yus and Chen Yikes figures had disappeared from the living room already.
Over here.
At this time, a voice came from the front door. When everyone turned to look toward the voice, they noticed that Chen Yu had already ushered Chen Yike, pulled Chen Erke, and carried Chen Sanke out of the house. All four of them were dressed properly and were waiting in the corridor outside the security door.
The elevators here. Hurry up, Chen Yu said.
The five adults:
After taking the elevator to the first floor, everyone from the Chen family got on Principal Pangs SUV.
I know a restaurant thats close by and serves delicious food. Lets head over there, Principal Pang said to Father Chen, who rode shotgun, after fastening his seatbelt.
Were really sorry for making you spend so much money, Father Chen said humbly.
Its nothing. This is something I should do, Principal Pang responded.
But Father Chen then looked at the taxi behind the SUV through the rearview mirror and asked, Is it really alright to let Teacher Niu and Chen Yus form teacher take the taxi?
Its fine, its fine, Principal Pang said with a nonchalant wave of his hand. Instead of paying attention to his two subordinates, he continued working hard on gaining Father Chen and Mother Chens favor, saying, As teachers, it is only natural for them to suffer a little. Moreover, Mr. Chen, youve nurtured such an outstanding child, benefiting the country and its people greatly. How could we possibly let you ride a taxi?
Upon hearing Principal Pangs words, Father Chen could not help turning skeptically to Chen Yu, who sat at the back of the car. He then eyed his son up and down in an attempt to locate the outstanding parts Principal Pang spoke of.
Chen Yu:
Come, children! Have some candy! In order to gain the Chen familys support, Principal Pang went as far as to curry favor with the familys young children. After digging out a handful of candies from the glove compartment, he passed the sweets to Chen Yike, Erke, and Sanke and said, These are honey pomelo sweets. Theyre good.
After receiving the sweets, Chen Yike, Erke, and Sanke said, Thank you, Principal.
However, upon seeing this scene, Chen Yu felt horrified.
Just why did the principal have sweets catering to little girls in his car?
After driving through a few streets, Principal Pang stopped the car and led everyone to a nearby restaurant.
Famous Imperial Kitchen!
The Chen familys four siblings exchanged looks involuntarily when they saw the restaurants name. It was obvious that all four of them recognized it as the same restaurant they had eaten and gotten takeout at.
This is the restaurant I was talking about. The braised pork here is exceptional! Principal Pang said as he opened the doors to the restaurant and invited the Chen family of six into the establishment.
Welcome!
Upon seeing the groups arrival, the two beautiful female staff stationed by the entrance automatically bowed and greeted the group. However, when the two women raised their heads and noticed Chen Yu and his three younger sisters, they were startled.
What luck! The main hall is empty. Lets dine in the main hall! I dined on the second floor before, and the rooms there felt a little stuffy, Principal Pang said as he entered the restaurant. He then pointed at a large dining table and said, Lets sit over there.
Well follow your arrangements. Father Chen and Mother Chen naturally had no objections to Principal Pangs suggestion.
As for the Chen familys four siblings, they naturally had no objections, either.
As for Niu Lanshan and Chen Yus form teacher, they similarly had no objections.
However, it was a different story for the restaurants manager.
Sir, how many guests will be dining today? the female manager asked as she walked up to Chen Yu, the smile on her face not reaching her eyes.
Uh Upon seeing the female manager, Chen Yu involuntarily stepped back, together with Chen Erke and Chen Sanke. He then turned to gesture at Principal Pang and said, You misunderstand. Hes paying today.
Unfazed by Chen Yus words, the female manager said, Sir, our shops event has ended already.
Chen Yu:

Chapter 23 C That Dogs Bearing
Sir, our shops event has ended already.
Upon hearing the female managers words, Chen Yu turned to look at the long jump indicator drawn on the floor nearby and asked, Isnt it still there?
Im sorry, but the event has been canceled already.
Why havent you removed it, then?
We havent had the time to do so.
Oh, but why are you telling me all this?
Sir, Im sure you know why
I dont know.
Sir, our shop earns very little. Please Originally, the female manager had wanted to say the words have some humanity, but after giving the matter some thought, she felt that it wasnt wise for a service provider like herself to speak such words. Instead, she switched to dine normally.
Meanwhile, noticing the female manager pestering Chen Yu incessantly, Principal Pang grew dissatisfied. He smacked the table before him and demanded, What is wrong with you, young lady? Instead of serving customers, why are you spouting a bunch of nonsense to children? Do you all know each other?
Nope! We dont know each other! Chen Yu said, crossing his hands.
Likewise crossing her hands, Chen Erke said, We dont know each other!
Chen Sanke said, Wedont know each other.
Upon getting reprimanded, the female manager turned to look at Principal Pang and immediately found his appearance familiar. She then asked Principal Pang, Sirare you dining with this bunch?
Thats right! Wait Principal Pangs expression twisted when he processed the female managers words. What do you mean by this bunch? What is the meaning of this?
After the female manager evaluated Principal Pangs attire and took a few more glances at the four Chen siblings, she forced a smile on her face as she received the restaurants menu from the waitress beside her. She then passed the menu to Principal Pang and said respectfully, Sir, please take your time ordering. Our shop is currently holding a promotion, with a 15% discount on all dishes. Aside from this, our restaurant has no other promotion.
When speaking the last sentence, the female manager had deliberately strengthened her tone.
How baffling Principal Pang frowned as he accepted the offered menu. He then gestured for everyone to take a seat and said, All Im going to order is your restaurants special braised pork. Mr. Chen, you order the rest. No need to be courteous with me.
Principal Pang, I think its best if you make the order.
No, no, you do it. I insist.
After exchanging a series of polite gestures and seeing that things were going nowhere, Mr. Chen finally flipped the menu open and ordered one of the cheaper dishes available.
Mrs. Chen, its your turn to order.
Teachers, you two should order first.
During the friendly exchanges between the adults at the table, the menu eventually landed in Chen Yus hand.
Upon receiving the menu, Chen Yu opened it without hesitation, and under everyones shocked gaze, he started rapidly calling out dishes one after another. Braised pork knuckles, stewed pig intestines, stir-fried shrimp, pan-fried dumplings, deep-fried ribbonfish, twice-cooked pork, glazed pork belly
Fried liver slices, stir-fried liver with spring onions, deep-fried tripe, Di San Xian
New Zealand bull kelp salad, Kung Pao bullfrog, cinnamon chicken wings, marinated notoginseng Oh, right. Theres no notoginseng. Well, I guess thats it.
Upon hearing Chen Yus list of dishes, everyone else at the table was rendered speechless.
After some time, Mother Chen snapped out of her daze and hurriedly snatched the menu away, then glared at Chen Yu. She turned to Principal Pang and said apologetically, Prin-Principal Pang, Im truly sorry for this. Hes still young and immature. Lets not let him order.
Principal Pang naturally knew that Chen Yu was currently expressing his dissatisfaction with the forceful home visit. Chuckling, Principal Pang waved his hand and said, If Student Chen Yu likes to eat these things, let him have them. Waitress! Record his order.
When the female manager heard the list of familiar dishes, she could not help but hesitate. In the end, however, she held her tongue.
After both the female manager and the waitress left, Principal Pang loosened his tie a little as he glanced at Chen Yu and asked, Student Chen Yu, are you acquainted with the manager of this place?
Nope, Chen Yu answered and shook his head without hesitation.
Oh. Deciding not to comment on Chen Yus reply, Principal Pang smiled and asked, Did you order enough? If its not enough, you can order more.
Its enough.
Waitress, bring some drinks for the four children to whet their appetites! Principal Pang said to a nearby waitress. He then turned to Father and Mother Chen and asked, Do you two drink?
Lets not. Were already making you spend a lot of money, Principal.
Its fine. Its all for the children, Principal Pang said, placing emphasis on the word children for Chen Yu to hear.
Chen Yu:
In that case, we wont have any alcohol today. Ill need to drive later, so I cant drink, either, Principal Pang said. And seeing as Chen Yu had ruthlessly taken advantage of his kind offer, he instantly felt that he had gained the upper hand in negotiations. Hence, he immediately decided to segue into the topic and said, Mr. Chen, since the food has yet to be served, lets use this opportunity to discuss proper matters.
Please speak.
Father and Mother Chen immediately sat up straight upon hearing Principal Pangs words.
Did Chen Yu cause some kind of trouble for you?
No, no. Nothing of the sort, Principal Pang said while waving his hand. He then glanced at Niu Lanshan and Chen Yus form teacher before explaining, Its like this: yesterday, after school, Student Chen Yu mustve been in a hurry to return home. As a result, he ran very quickly, and his actions were noticed by our schools PE teacher, which is Teacher Niu here.
After giving Niu Lanshan a smile and a nod, Mother Chen suddenly turned to look at Chen Yu before saying thoughtlessly, Did he knock over something? Principal Pang, I know about this matter. Chen Yu told me that a dog had chased him yesterday. He mightve been in a panic and did not pay attention to his surroundings. I dont think he did it on purpose.
When Niu Lanshan heard Mother Chens words, his smiling face suddenly twisted.
It was a mad dog! Chen Erke added joyfully.
Now, not only did Niu Lanshans expression become distorted, but it even showed signs of crumbling.
Complicated feelings filled Chen Yus heart when he heard his mothers and little sisters words.
This This is Principal Pang similarly found himself at a loss for words to rebut Mother Chen and Chen Erke, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly. After some time had passed, he snapped out of his daze and stuttered, This Lets not go into the details of this matter. In-In any case, after Teacher Niu came and consulted with me about the matter, we determined that Student Chen Yu is extremely suited for sports. This is also the reason for our sudden visit today.
Sports? Talent? Father Chen could not help doubting Principal Pangs words. Principal Pang, are you perhaps mistaken? My son has never shown himself to possess any talent in sports.
No, no, no. This is because the two of you have been too careless as his parents, Principal Pang said as he wagged his right index finger. Student Chen Yu is extremely talented in sports. According to Teacher Niu, even Student Chen Yus current sprinting speed can get him into the top three of our entire province. If we let him undergo special training, he will achieve even better results. This is an extremely outstanding talent.
Maybe Chen Yu managed to perform better than usual back then because he was being chased by a dog, Mother Chen suggested hesitantly.
Niu Lanshan:
It was a mad dog! Chen Erke added once more. A mad dog is much fiercer than an ordinary dog! My brother mustve been very scared back then!
Right. Mother Chen nodded in agreement with her daughters words. Ive seen on television that people are prone to unleashing their hidden potential in dangerous situations. Chen Yu might not be as talented as you think, Principal Pang.
After hearing Mother Chens words, Niu Lanshan could take it any longer. He abruptly stood up from his seat, then massaged his face with his trembling hands as he stammered, Prin-Principal Ev-Everyone Ex-Excuse me for a moment
After saying so, Niu Lanshan lumbered away from the table like a lifeless zombie and disappeared into a corner of the restaurant.
Is something wrong with Teacher Niu? Mother Chen asked as she looked at Principal Pang.
May-Maybe hes feeling uncomfortable, Principal Pang replied while covering his plump face.
As for Chen Yu, he quietly lowered his head.

Chapter 24 C Hahahahaha
After a short moment of silence at the table, Principal Pang resumed the conversation, saying, The two of you might not be aware of it, but even before Student Chen Yuumgot chased, our schools surveillance cameras caught sight of him running at incredible speeds already. He is truly very gifted in sports.
In that case, the reason why Principal Pang sought us out today is to Father Chen prompted before letting his words trail off.
Its to discuss with the two of you Student Chen Yus participation in the schools athletic team, Principal Pang said with a serious expression. Student Chen Yus talent for sports is truly wonderful. If he undergoes special training, he can easily take part in official competitions. He might even become a national champion. We think that this is something very beneficial to his future. It might even set him for life.
Upon hearing Principal Pangs words, Father Chen and Mother Chen could not help looking at each other in amazement, finding this situation slightly unbelievable.
Prin-Principal Pang, are you certain youre not mistaken? Chen Yu has never shown any interest in sports before.
Of course, Im not mistaken, Principal Pang said, shaking his head. While this might sound harsh, if Chen Yus talent were only average, I wouldnt have taken the time to pay you a personal visit. We verified his talents earlier today. He is indeed a gifted athlete for track and field. So long as Chen Yu chooses to go down the path of sports, there is a very high possibility that he will become a national champion or perhaps even an international champion in Asia. Personally, I believe going down this route is the best choice for Chen Yus future. What do the two of you think?
We After hearing Principal Pangs solemn tone, Father Chen started believing in the principals words. At the same time, joy and excitement also started welling up in his heart. We wont object to this option. So long as Chen Yu likes it, we will support him.
Right. At this time, Mother Chen also snapped out of her daze. Hurriedly nodding her head, she said, So long as my son wishes to go down this path, we will definitely support him.
Mother Chen had long since categorized Chen Yu as a partially crippled child. It would definitely be a pleasant surprise for her if he could succeed in sports.
But the problem now is Principal Pang took a deep breath, his complexion darkening as he continued, Your son doesnt seem to like this option.
In response to Principal Pangs statement, both Father Chen and Mother Chen simultaneously went Huh? before turning to look at their son.
Upon noticing that both his parents were looking at him, Chen Yu, who was filling a glass with the beverage he was served, nodded and said, Thats right. I dont like sports.
Chen Yu had long since firmed his resolve.
He could accept the meal, beverage, and praise given to him. If there were more benefits to be had, he would gladly take them all. However, no matter what he received, doing sports was out of the question!
It didnt matter whether it was sprinting, long-distance running, hurdling, basketball, football, badmintonnone of them would do!
In this life, he would have nothing to do with competitive sports. After all, once he entered the real competition venue and lost his Microkinetic Basketball Shoes, he would be thoroughly abused. He might even bring unwanted trouble to himself.
As a human, he needed to have a clear idea of his own value.
Thats the case, Principal Pang said helplessly while shrugging. This is an extremely good opportunity for Student Chen Yu. However, despite several school teachers and myself repeatedly advising him, he still refuses to listen. I think that he made such a decision only because he is still a child and is uncertain about his own future goals. He also isnt aware of the pressure and cruelty awaiting him once he leaves school and enters society. Hence, I sought the two of you out to discuss this matter and hopefully persuade Student Chen Yu to change his mind.
After listening to Principal Pangs explanation, Father and Mother Chen finally understood the reason for todays sudden visit. The two of them then looked at each other and, within three seconds, thoroughly communicated their intentions and united their thoughts.
Little Yu
The first one to speak up was Mother Chen. After straightening her hair and her back, she said in a sincere tone, Logically, you have already become an adult, and as your mother, I shouldnt interfere in your plans for your future.
However, before Mother Chen could continue speaking, Chen Yu hurriedly interjected, Then dont interfere in them. I really dont like spo
Bang!
Mother Chen suddenly slammed her palm on the table, her action silencing Chen Yu and scaring Principal Pang and Chen Yus form teacher.
Ah! Im sorry, Principal, Mother Chen awkwardly apologized for her rudeness as she nodded and smiled at Principal Pang and the form teacher. She then returned her gaze to Chen Yu and said strictly, Thats right. I shouldnt interfere in your plans for your future. However, despite growing into an adult, you still have the mind of a child. I have no choice but to interfere. How could you possibly refuse such a good opportunity? The fact that your school is willing to nurture you is all for your own good. If you learn a skill set now, you wont have to be afraid of starving once you enter society. Thats why Mother will decide for you this time! Learn sports!
Your mother is right, Father Chen said, nodding. I also agree with your learning sports.
Didnt you two say you will support my decision? Why did you change your tone so quickly?
In response, Mother Chen said, I said I would support your decision to learn sports. I never said I would support you if you chose otherwise.
Father Chen: Your mother is right.
Chen Yu:
Mother Chen: Whats with your expression? Do you think were trying to ruin you? Arent we doing this for your own good? Why cant you let us have some peace of mind?
Father Chen: Your mother is right.
Mother Chen: If you truly could handle yourself properly, do you think we would even bother interfering in your decisions? It is precisely because you are still immature that we are worried about you!
Father Chen: Your mother is right.
Mother Chen: If you train well in sports, setting everything else aside, you will at least be able to keep yourself in good health. Just look at you. Once you get home from school, all you do is laze around the house doing nothing! At this rate, wont your body be ruined?
Father Chen: Right.
Mother Chen: In any case, Im calling the shots on this matter. Youre going to learn sports.
After saying so, Mother Chen took a gulp from the glass of hot water placed before her. She then ordered sternly, Listen to your principal and learn sports!
Mimicking Mother Chens actions, Father Chen took a gulp from his glass, nodded, and said, Your mother is right.
Ah After letting out a sigh, Chen Yu similarly held up his glass and took a big gulp of his beverage. He then asked, Mom, what did you say just now?
After a moment of silence at the table, Mother Chen suddenly stood up, raised her hand, and sent her palm flying at the back of Chen Yus head. However, Chen Yu agilely avoided her palm before it could connect.
Mom! Spreading his hands, Chen Yu protested, I really am not suited for sports! Are you really willing to see your son running around all day long? What if I fall and get injured? Wont you regret it then?
Just run well, and you wont fall, Mother Chen said. Pinching her waist with her left hand and gesturing with her right hand, she continued, Look at Liu Xiang! Hes been running for so many years, yet hes never fallen!
Um At this time, Father Chen suddenly poked Mother Chen and said quietly, Liu Xiang fell.
Huh? When?
It happened ages ago.
There are so many other runners as well. Isnt Liu Xiang the only one that fell?
My dearest mother! In a desperate tone, Chen Yu pleaded, I really am not suited for sports! Youre just sending me to my ruin!
He was going to be a broadcaster that was going to lead the worlds technological progress in the future. It was simply wrong for him to train in track and field.
In that case, tell me what youre suited for. You cant possibly laze around and do nothing, right?
I Straightening his shirt and putting up a serious expression, Chen Yu said, I am suited for studying.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, silence fell over the table. Afterward
Mother Chen: Hahahaha
Father Chen: Ahahahaha
Chen Yike: Pfff! Hahaha!
Chen Erke: Hahahahagek
Chen Sanke: Ha.

Chapter 25 C The Professionalism of Sixth Highs Teachers
Hahahaha
A deep frown appeared on Chen Yus face as he listened to his familys laughter.
Why are you laughing? Whats so funny?
Hahahahahaha
At Chen Yus questions, Mother Chens laughter grew louder, her mouth unable to close at all. Even Chen Yus form teacher could not help but reveal a smile at this situation.
Chen Yu, hahaha Ah, Im going to get wrinkles if I laugh at this rate, Mother Chen said as she massaged her sore face. She then continued, Had you managed to pass even one of the six available subjects, you wouldnt have had to attend a tattered school like Sixth Ah, no
Principal Pang:
What Im trying to say is that, had you managed to pass even one of your six subjects, we wouldnt be laughing at you like this right now. With your grades, even if we sent you back to grade school, you might not score as high as Second Eldest! So, tell me, how are you suited for studying?
Mom, dont you know that you cant judge a book by its appearance?
I gave birth to you. What part of you dont I know?
I
Little Yu. At this time, Father Chen, who had finally managed to stifle his laughter, interjected, Every person has their own strong points. Despite your studies not going well, your mother and I have never forced you to study more because we know you simply arent meant for it. However, now that you have shown a talent for sports, why not develop it? Ive said before to everyone that my son couldnt possibly be born a useless wastrel. Look at things now. Hasnt your chance finally arrived?
Massaging his temples, Chen Yu said, But your son really is a wastrel.
Bang!
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, Mother Chen angrily smacked the table again and said, How could you possibly belittle yourself like that?! I dont care! This matter is decided! Youll learn sports from your principal and Teacher Niu. Im not asking you to bring honor to our ancestors, but I wont allow you to laze around doing absolutely nothing!
No! Chen Yu shouted as he stood up from his seat. In a firm tone, he declared, Im definitely not going to learn sports!
What are you going to do, then?
I want to study! Chen Yu said, balling his fists. I want to study properly and get into Tsing-U or Peking-U[1]!
Did Tsing-U and Peking-U go bankrupt? Do you think theyll let someone like you get in? Mother Chen asked.
Ugh Chen Yu gripped his chest upon hearing his mothers words, feeling as if he had just received a heavy blow to his heart.
Child At this time, Principal Pang suddenly spoke up in a heavy tone. Since Sixth Highs establishment, not one of our students has managed to enter any of the 985 Universities before. When a few of our students managed to get into a 211 University a few years ago, we set off firecrackers in celebration, to the point where we burned down a nearby forest. Now, youre saying you wish to rely on yourself to get into Tsing-U or Peking-U? Isnt that just wishful thinking?[2]
So, dont you wish to nurture me into the first student to get into a 985 University?
Id rather believe you can outrun Usain Bolt than believe you can enter a 985 University, Principal Pang said, sighing. Listen to us and train in sports properly. This is all for your own good. Moreover, truth be told, even if you have a talent for studying, you wont be able to develop it in Sixth High. During last years Teachers Math Olympiad, our schools math director came out on par with the neighboring grade schools art teacher. Do you think you can place your hopes on such teachers?
Just listen to what youre saying! Is that really something you should say as Sixth Highs principal?
Chen Yu, your principal is right. Whether it is inside or outside, Sixth High doesnt look like a school at all. Ah Principal Pang, Im not directing my words at you. Im speaking about Sixth High as a whole, Mother Chen said as she nodded apologetically toward Principal Pang.
It-Its fine.
I dont care. Despite hearing Principal Pangs and Mother Chens words, Chen Yu remained unmoved, stating, I want to study.
Chen Yu! Mother Chen stood up in anger at Chen Yus stubbornness.
Is it wrong for me to wish to study? Chen Yu argued.
If a pig insists on doing scientific research, do you think its decision is right or wrong?
Mom, youre going too far!
And youre not? Do you think were trying to ruin you?
St-Stop arguing! Everyone, calm down! With mother and son about to come to blows, Principal Pang stood up hurriedly and tried to defuse the situation. Lets sit down and have a proper conversation. Fighting wont solve anything. Being loud doesnt mean youre correct.
Principal Pang, weve let you see something embarrassing. Normally, Chen Yu is relatively obedient. I just dont know why he is so against doing sports, Mother Chen said awkwardly. It might be because he got traumatized by the dog that chased him yesterday.
At this time, Niu Lanshan, who had finally recovered his mood and come out from the toilet, just so happened to overhear Mother Chens words. Immediately, his complexion changed once more, and he retreated quietly to the toilet.
Uh This I guess thats possible. Principal Pang momentarily grew awkward at Mother Chens words as well. He then said, Sixth High prioritizes teaching its students according to their aptitudes and providing professional education. Since Student Chen Yu prefers studying so much, lets have both sides each take a step back.
Whats your proposal? Chen Yu asked.
How many students are there in Class 2? Principal Pang asked as he turned to look at Chen Yus form teacher.
Principal, our class has a total of 48 students, the form teacher replied.
Forty-eight, is it? Nodding, Principal Pang turned to Chen Yu and said, Lets do it like this: so long as you can score within the top 10 of your class during the next monthly examination, well let you focus on your studies. If you fail to do so, youll learn sports from Teacher Niu. What do you think?
Upon hearing Principal Pangs words, Mother Chen immediately narrowed her eyes and rolled up her sleeves as she launched an assist, saying, Principal, why are you negotiating with a child? If a child refuses to listen, just give him a beating.
Mom! What are you trying to do?! Is violence the way to solve problems?! Chen Yu said, retreating half a meter without hesitation. Th-The principal is right! Shouldnt you at least give me a chance?
Fine, then, Mother Chen said. Since her son had taken the bait, she repeated, If you really score within the top 10 of your class in the next monthly test, your father and I will stand on your side and oppose your participation in sports.
This While this compromise is relatively good, my current foundations are too shallow. How can I possibly score within the top 10 in such a short time? Chen Yu bargained, I ask for the conditions to be lowered! I need time to improve gradually!
Principal Pang nodded at Chen Yus argument and said, In that case, you decide on a result, Student Chen Yu. What position will you aim for in the next monthly test?
The top 45.
Chen Yus answer had Mother Chen instinctively reaching for her chair.
Wa-Wait! How about the top 40?
In response, Mother Chen released her chair and moved to grab her glass.
Top 30! Thirty! Its fine if I score within the top 30, right? Theres only half a month left until the next monthly test! You should be more reasonable when setting a goal!
Top 20! Mother Chen said as she stretched out two fingers.
Twenty-eight!
Twenty-two!
Twenty-seven!
Twenty-four!
Twenty-five!
Deal! Top 25, then! Mother Chen said as she set her glass back on the table. If you fail to score within the top 25 in the next monthly test, what will you do?
Ill do sports.
These are your words. A gentleman never goes back on his word.
After hearing Chen Yus reply, Mother Chen and Father Chen exchanged glances before revealing smiles on their faces.
Student Chen Yu, we have a deal! Principal Pang said happily. He then continued, Since our discussion is done, lets sit down and have our meal.
After saying so, Principal Pang turned to Chen Yus form teacher and whispered, Keep a close eye on him. Also, notify the other teachers of Class 2 about this matter. If Chen Yu faces any problems he doesnt know how to solve, make sure they dont tell him a single word.
Principal, rest assured. While the teachers of Sixth High might not be good at educating students in the right path, were professionals when it comes to misguiding students!
Very good. I can rest easy with those words, Principal Pang said, nodding. However, why do I feel like crying when I hear those words?
After instructing Chen Yus form teacher on what to do, Principal Pang noticed that the dining table remained empty even now. Frowning, he pointed at the nearby staff members, who were busy removing the long-jump diagram, and shouted, What nonsense are you doing there?! Hurry up and serve the dishes!
Very quickly, dishes got moved to the dining table one after another.
In the meantime, Chen Yu sneaked into the toilet and pulled out his phone. He then opened WeChat and started a conversation.

[Transdimensional Marketing: A product similar to the Enhanced Memory Circlet?]
[Chen Yu: Thats right! It would be great if the product is even better than that circlet!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen. We will start the application process now.]
[Chen Yu: When can I receive reliable news?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We cannot notify you beforehand. You will find out when you receive the delivery this coming Sunday.]
[Chen Yu: Alright. Make sure to put in more effort!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Affirmative.]
Putting away his phone, Chen Yu took a deep breath as his heart churned with anticipation and anxiety. When he entered the toilet to wash his sweaty hands, he immediately noticed Niu Lanshan leaning against a wall and puffing a cigarette with a depressed and muddled look on his face.
Tea-Tea-Teacher Niu
Chen Yu. Exhaling a thick cloud of smoke, Niu Lanshan flicked away his cigarette as he said, I heard you got chased by a dog yesterday.
No, dont listen to my mothers nonsense. How could there be such a large dog in existence?
What?
W-Wait, no! I meant to say that there wasnt a dog! Chen Yu said, cold sweat covering his forehead. Teacher Niu, you misunderstand.
After staring at Chen Yu for a long time, Niu Lanshan nodded and said, Fine. Lets treat this as my misunderstanding and forget about this matter. I wont argue with a child like you.
Thats the spirit! Chen Yu said, inwardly sighing in relief. He then revealed a bright smile as he walked forward and retrieved the cigarette carton and lighter from Niu Lanshans breast pocket. After removing a cigarette from the carton and pushing it into Niu Lanshans mouth, Chen Yu lit it and said toadyishly, Here, have a smoke.
Youre using my cigarette to show respect to me? Niu Lanshan asked with a raised brow.
Chen Yu replied, Dont mind the details. Its fine so long as you receive my intentions.
Chen Yus reply left Niu Lanshan at a loss for words. At the same time, though, the depression in his heart faded significantly.
However, just as the two of them left the toilet and were about to return to their seats, they overheard Mother Chen explaining to Principal Pang, Principal, I know my son very well. Let alone getting into his classs top 25, even getting into the top 40 is impossible for him. It is only a matter of time before he has to start training in sports. Lets treat these two weeks as a period for him to relax. After all, if it were us getting chased by a dog at night, even we would suffer a big fright, right?
Upon hearing Mother Chens words, Niu Lanshan promptly stopped in his tracks, shut his eyes, and sighed before retracing his steps to the toilet.
Chen Yu:
By the time the Chen family of six returned home, it was already past 9 P.M.
After taking a bath and saying goodnight to his family, Chen Yu returned to his room and locked the door.
Phew
Leaning his back against the door, Chen Yu took in several deep breaths to calm his tense heart. He then moved toward his desk and turned on his laptop to take a look at his Bilibili account statistics.

Crap Is this for real?
Chen Yu was dumbfounded by the numbers before him. Never did he ever expect his Bilibili statistics to increase this radically within such a short time.
It seems my popularity is really going to skyrocket.
He hurriedly took out his phone and sent an inquiry to Transdimensional Marketing through WeChat.
[Chen Yu: Is there a bug? Why did the numbers increase so much?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: An editor from Bilibili manually recommended your video. With your videos quality and the disproportionate views, comments, and subscribers you have, it is very natural for your video to get recommended. In fact, it wont be long before you get recommended on the front page.]
[Chen Yu: Wont that turn me into a famous uploader immediately?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is what both you and I hope for. The larger your fanbase is, the easier it will be to survive the marketing probation period.]
[Chen Yu: I understand. In that case, try to get me my next review product as soon as possible.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please rest assured on this, Mr. Chen.]
After turning off WeChat, Chen Yu tossed his phone to the bed and exited Bilibilis account management platform. He then opened up the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal and checked his profile.

Amazing.
After closing his laptop, Chen Yu spawled on top of his bed. At the same time, a slight hint of regret appeared in his heart.
Had he chosen to publicize his identity back then, his family would become well-off so long as he published a few more videos of such high quality.
Right, I need to study!
Upon recalling what he needed to do, Chen Yu sat up abruptly and grabbed a mathematics textbook for high school year one. He then started reading through it earnestly.
Soit turns out that I dont know a single thing about high school mathematics.
After placing back Compulsory Mathematics 1, Chen Yu retrieved a mathematics textbook for middle school third years. However, after looking through the textbook for a few seconds, he closed the book once more.
Lets skip grade two and just go for grade one, Chen Yu mumbled as he retrieved the grade one mathematics textbook from his bookshelf.
However, similar to before, Chen Yu fell silent after flipping through a few pages andplaced the book back.
How on earth did I manage to get into high school?! How much money did Mom use as bribes?!
Scratching his head in despair, Chen Yu fell into deep thought. After a long time, he decided that, with his current situation, it would be best if he started learning from scratch.
Having reached that conclusion, Chen Yu promptly stood up and went to the living room. However, when he arrived beside Chen Erke, he could not help hesitating.
When her light source got obstructed, Chen Erke put down her worn-out crayon and raised her head. After seeing Chen Yu gazing at her, she asked, Brother, whats up?
Second Eldest, youre in your second year in primary school already, right?
Thats right.
Th-Then, do you still have your textbooks from primary one? Chen Yu asked awkwardly while scratching his nose.
I do. What about them?
This As the eldest sibling in our family, I feel that it is my responsibility to test my little sisters learning progress, Chen Yu said, spewing a bunch of nonsense while ignoring his shame. Give me all your primary one textbooks. Ill test you using them.
Youre not trying to learn primary school stuff, right? Chen Erke asked skeptically.
Just bring them to me like I told you to! Chen Yu ordered, blushing. Have you forgotten that Ive often bought you drinks and crayons? You have to listen to me.
After staring at Chen Yu for some time, Chen Erke pulled out four books from beneath the coffee table, two of which were for mathematics while the other two were for language.
Gimme. Ill make a test sheet based on these books. If you get full marks, Ill buy you a new set of crayons.
Really?! Chen Erkes eyes lit up at Chen Yus words.
Of course.
Upon receiving the four primary one textbooks, Chen Yu promptly returned to his room and started flipping through them. After skimming a few pages, he smiled and chuckled. Hehehehe, these questions are simple, after all.

Chapter 27 C Do You People Have Any Humanity Left?
The next day, Wednesday:
After Chen Yu dropped off his three younger sisters at their respective schools, he carried his small backpack and entered Sixth High as usual.
There was still some time before class started. As a result, the students of Class 2 remained boisterous and playful, fully venting their boundless, youthful energy. Only after class started would they quiet down and recuperate, waiting for the next time they could release their youthful energy.
After arriving at his classroom, Chen Yu made his way to his seat and stuffed two paper balls into his ears. He then dug through his backpack, picked out an English textbook for primary five students, and started earnestly reading it.
Brother Chen! You Did you hit your head or something? When Li Liang noticed Chen Yu reading something that wasnt a comic book, he was astonished. This isan English textbook?
Mhm. Its the second volume for primary five English, Chen Yu explained.
Primary? Li Liang was stunned by Chen Yus words. Youre already in high school, yet youre still reading primary stuff?
When do you finish class in the morning? Chen Yu suddenly said as he read an English sentence found in the textbook.[1]
Hah? Li Liang could not take in Chen Yus words.
Arent you a high schooler too? You dont even understand such a simple question, yet you still have the gall to laugh at me?
Turn away. Your bald head is too shiny. Its hindering my studies, Chen Yu scolded as he shooed Li Liang away in annoyance.
I-Im not hearing things, right? Youre actually studying? Li Liang could not help being stunned once more.
Is there a problem?
Didnt we agree before that wed stack bricks once we graduated?
You do that yourself. Im going to Tsing-U or Peking-U.
Do Tsing-U and Peking-U need people to stack bricks for them? Li Liang asked in doubt.
Im going there to study! Chen Yu declared as he angrily smacked his table. Stop interrupting my studies. I couldve memorized at least two more words during the time I spent chatting with you!
Li Liang:
After pushing Li Liangs bald head away, Chen Yu resumed reading the phrases recorded in the English textbook.
There were only two weeks left before the next monthly test started. For this first week, he needed to grasp all the learning materials available for primary and middle school. Afterward, once he received the future product, he would use it to aid himself in conquering high school learning materials. He would thoroughly utilize these two weeks to evolve from academic trash.
No matter what, he could not do sports for the rest of his life.
While he didnt have the opportunity to do so in the past, now, all he wished to do was to be a good student.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Twenty minutes later, the bell signaling the start of classes rang throughout the school.
After Class 2s form teacher entered the classroom, he went up to the lectern and sent a glance at Chen Yu, who was studying earnestly. Sneering, he loudly declared, Students! Let me tell you a piece of good news. Our school will be holding an autumn sports festival. Aside from the third years top class, every other class must participate.
Upon hearing the form teachers announcement, the students in the class remained silent for half a second before breaking out in cheers.
As for Chen Yu, he covered his face with his hand as he gnashed his teeth in anger.
What sports festival?
It was obvious that this sports festival targeted him.
Silence! Students, silence!
The form teacher took nearly five minutes before he managed to suppress the classrooms excited atmosphere. After doing so, he gleefully looked at Chen Yu before continuing, Students, this will be our Sixth Highs biggest sports festival yet! It is time for you to squeeze out all your strength and gain honor for Class 2!
Whoa!
The entire class went into an uproar once more at the form teachers words.
Ill start calling out names now! Every student named must choose a sport to take part in. This is for the classs honor, so nobody can opt out of this! the form teacher said as he took out a registration list. Once youve registered, you cannot cancel. This name list will be submitted to the higher-ups. Now, lets start the roll call. First up, Student Chen Yu!
Upon hearing Chen Yus name, every other student in the class promptly shifted their gaze to him.
Placing his English textbook down with trembling hands, Chen Yu slowly stood up from his seat and looked at his form teacher with a look of disbelief.
Chen Yu, what sport do you choose?
Chen Yu, say something. Everyones waiting for you.
You You people Chen Yu opened and closed his mouth repeatedly as he looked at his form teacher. After some time, however, he sighed and said, What sports are available?
There are two categories: track and field and ball games. Which one will you choose?
Ball games, Chen Yu answered, choosing the latter without hesitation.
Sports involving balls, regardless of what type of sport it was, were very fun.
Moreover, ball games took up less time than track-and-field events, so participating in one shouldnt affect his studies by much.
Ball games include basketball, football, ping pong, and badminton. Which one do you choose, Chen Yu?
Basketball.
Very well. Sit down, the form teacher said, smiling while making a tick on the registration form. Afterward, he continued, Next student, Student Chen Yu.
???
Before Chen Yu could even start warming his seat, he stood up in astonishment once more. Huh?
Huh? What huh? There are track and field and ball games. Which do you choose?
Bu-Bu-But, didnt I just choose one?
There arent many in our class that love sports. We wont be able to fill many of the sports categories, so we naturally need to have those capable contribute more, the form teacher said as he revealed a demonic smile. Thats why well have to trouble you. Now, track and field or ball games?
Track and field.
Hundred meters, two hundred meters, four hundred meters, eight hundred meters, fifteen hundred meters, high jump, long ju
Hundred meters! I choose the 100-meter sprint! Chen Yu said, interrupting the form teacher.
The 100-meter sprint took up the least amount of time to complete, so it wouldnt affect his studies even if he participated in it.
Very well, Ill have it recorded. Please sit down. Next student, Student Chen Yu.
Chen Yu:
At this moment, aside from Chen Yu, everyone else in the class similarly had their heads filled with question marks regarding the current situation.
Chen Yu, track and field or ball games?
Didnt I already choose two events?!
An able man should work more. Waving his hand, the form teacher said in consolation, This is also for the sake of Class 2s honor.
I choose the 200-meter sprint
Very well, please sit down, the form teacher said as he revealed an embarrassed smile at Chen Yu. At this point, even he thought that this was a little too much. In the next moment, however, he took up the registration list once more and said, Next person, Student Chen Yu!
Bang!
Suppressing the urge to flip his table, Chen Yu smacked his table and shouted, Hey! Dont you think youre going a little overboard?!
A-Able men should work more.
That doesnt mean they should work to such an extent!
Uh I guarantee that this is the last one.
I refuse. Participating in three events is more than exhausting already, Chen Yu stated sternly.
Student Chen Yu, this is where youre wrong, the form teacher said as he put on a straight face. This is a rare opportunity for you to put in some effort. Are you not willing to sacrifice yourself for the class?
Chen Yu:
Cant you see that everyone in the class is looking at you? These are all looks of anticipation!
Chen Yu:
If you dont choose, Ill register you for the 1,500-meter run.
No! Chief, you win! Show some mercy! Ill apply for the high jump!
Alright, the form teacher said, smiling while registering Chen Yu for his fourth sporting event.
Five minutes later, the form teacher finally filled up the entire registration list.
A total of 12 students from Class 2 would be participating in the autumn sports festival, of which nine were male and three were female. And the one thing tying these students together was that all 12 of them were very poor at studying.
Seeing this, Chen Yu got a bad feeling.
Alright, the registration for the sports festival is done, the form teacher said as he put away the registration form. He then continued with a serious expression, The sports festival this time is very important. Even the heads of the education department will be spectating the festival, so all students participating in the festival must go through training with our PE teacher every day.
What? Chen Yu frowned deeply upon hearing the teachers words. What about our studies?
You are our classs glorious athletes! Set aside your studies for now and focus on training! the form teacher said as he waved his hand. As for the students who arent participating in the sports festival, you need to fully utilize your time! You mustnt relax even when youre on break! Prepare for the upcoming test with all you have!
Do you people have any humanity left?
TL Notes:
[1]When do you finish class in the morning? Chen Yu suddenly said as he read an English sentence found in the textbook.
-note that Chen Yu and Li Liang are speaking in Chinese normally.

Chapter 28 C Bewitched!
The 12 named students, gather at the sports field right away! Train with the PE teacher and strive to put on an exciting and professional performance!
After saying so, the form teacher chased Chen Yu and the other sports representatives of Class 2 out of the classroom before slamming the doors shut.
Chen Yu:
Brother Chen, what are you standing there in a daze for? Li Liang asked as he tapped Chen Yus shoulder. Lets go train!
Standing by the door, Chen Yu had a reluctant expression as he looked into the classroom through a window and said, The form teacher must be telling the others in the class about the contents of the next monthly test.
Let him tell them, then. What does that have to do with us? Li Liang asked in confusion.
You head over first, Chen Yu said as he waved off Li Liang.
What about you? Li Liang asked.
Ill stay here and listen for a while, Chen Yu answered before squatting by the classroom door and perking up his ears.
However, less than half a minute later, the door to the classroom suddenly opened.
Why are you bunch still standing here? Head to the field for training! the form teacher ordered with a fierce look.
Thats right! Why are you guys still here? Chen Yu repeated in dissatisfaction as he turned to look at the 11 students behind him. Go train!
You go as well! the form teacher yelled.
Wait, no, teacher, let me listen for a bit!
No! Head to training!
Dont be so cruel! Ill only listen for a moment! Just a moment!
Leave immediately!
Cant I just listen by the door? I wont even enter the classroom!
No, no, no! Leave, leave, leave!
Fed up at the form teachers answers, Chen Yu roared, Am I attending a fake school?!
Your current responsibility is to train properly and achieve a good result in the sports festival, the form teacher said as he put on a stern expression.
What did you guys say yesterday night?! You guys shouldnt go overboard!
You will have to ask the principal and Teacher Niu about this matter. Theyre the ones that provided the registration form to me. I dont have a say in this, either, the form teacher said, shrugging. Now, hurry up and head to training!
Chen Yu:
Helpless, Chen Yu had no choice but to leave the classroom building, together with the other selected students. Upon arriving at the field, he immediately noticed Niu Lanshan hard at work, instructing over a hundred students undergoing training.
Li Liang, you and the others head over first. Im leaving.
What do you plan on doing?
Im going to the toilet. Im leaving now. Make sure to help me apply for sick leave!
After saying so, Chen Yu quickly left the group and sneaked away from the field.
He made several twists and turns through the school, then hid in one of the fifth blocks toilets. Sitting down on the small bench inside the toilet, he took out the primary five English textbook and started studying earnestly.
Humans were very strange creatures. Take Chen Yu, for example. When given the opportunity to study, he had adamantly refused to do so. However, when he was prevented from studying, he would try to study, no matter what.
After Chen Yu had read for ten minutes or so, just as he was sinking into the sea of knowledge and dog-paddling through it, the door to the toilet suddenly opened.
Instinctively turning to look at the door, Chen Yu saw Niu Lanshan. The PE teacher stalked over to him like a demon and pinched his ear, demanding, Why are you hiding here?!
Stop! Ah! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
Why are you hiding here and skipping training?
I-Im studying! S-Stop! It hurts!
Let me ask you, didnt you register for basketball?
Yes.
If youve registered, you must participate! The practice match is going to start soon! The teams of both classes are waiting for you! Do you understand?!
I-I understand!
Head over quickly, then! Niu Lanshan bellowed.
With his head lowered in dejection, Chen Yu trudged back to the field and regrouped with Class 2s basketball team.
Got dragged back by the teacher? Li Liang asked with a grin.
How did he know where I was hiding?
Do you even need to ask? There are surveillance cameras in every corridor of the school. The teacher went to check the surveillance system just now.
Chen Yu:
Brother Chen, did you offend our classs form teacher? The rest of us had to register for only two events at most. Why did you have to register for four?
Dont ask. Im very depressed right now.
At this time, Niu Lanshan blew the whistle he held, then pointed at Chen Yus group, saying, Those that registered for the basketball event gather here! Year 2s Class 1 and Class 2 will have their practice match first! Five minutes, full court!
Teacher! Chen Yu suddenly called out while raising his hand.
Chen Yu, what do you want?
I want to go to the toilet!
Denied!
I cant hold it in anymore! Chen Yu said, revealing a look of agony while pressing his hands on his stomach.
Frowning, Niu Lanshan said, Stop playing tricks and practice honestly for five minutes. You can go to the toilet after that.
Its no good, teacher! I really need to go to the toilet! One minute! Just give me one minute, alright? Chen Yu said. And without waiting for Niu Lanshans approval, he ran in the direction of the nearest toilet while holding his stomach.
As for his speed, it was lightning fast.
The surveillance system, is it? I doubt you can find me this time!
After running to the toilet at the back of the sports field, Chen Yu climbed over the tall wall there and ran along the schools fence before hiding himself inside a garden. Disregarding his cleanliness, he sat down on the ground and started flipping through his English textbook once more.
Study! Study! Study!
Nobody could stop him from studying!
Time passed by quickly.
Sure enough, the garden was a good hiding place, as the crazed Niu Lanshan failed to locate Chen Yu even after mobilizing all of the athletes.
While hiding in the garden, Chen Yu truly experienced the charm of knowledge. He found himself sinking continuously into the sea of knowledge and could not pull himself out of it, no matter what.
Even when a student couple sneaked into the garden to make out in the afternoon, Chen Yu remained unfazed, entirely focused on his studies.
Money, violence, beautiesthere was no temptation that could shake his resolve to study!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Eventually, the sky started darkening, and the bell signaling the end of school rang. Upon hearing the bell, Chen Yu promptly left the garden, climbed over the fence, and made his way back home, not even bothering to pick up his backpack in class.
In the following days, as if possessed by the God of Learning, Chen Yus mind was filled with thoughts on how he could read and learn more effectively. The schools sports festival training could not stop him from studying at all!
When practicing running, he would run until he was nowhere to be found.
When practicing high jump, he would jump until he vanished out of sight.
When practicing basketball, he would practice until both he and the ball disappeared.
Niu Lanshan might be able to capture Chen Yus body, but the man could not detain Chen Yus soul.
At this point, the desire to study had already seeped into every cell of Chen Yus body!
In just four days, Chen Yu had finished mastering the mathematics, Chinese language, and English language of primary school. He had also gone through the learning materials of middle school quite thoroughly. If he were given another opportunity to take the entrance exam for high school, he was confident he would not need to spend a single cent on bribes to enter Sixth High!
So, this is what studying is all about!
Studying makes me happy.
Studying makes me feel excited.
Studying makes me feel enriched.
Studying makes me realize the truth.
Nobody can stop me from studying
As if possessed, Chen Yu continuously hypnotized himself into liking studying, while sitting on his bed. Afterward, he lay down and closed his eyes in satisfaction before falling asleep.
Tomorrow was Sunday.
It was the day where the new technological product would arrive.
He was truly looking forward to it.

Chapter 29 C Delivery Arrives
Chen Yu, send Second Eldest to her mental abacus class today.
During breakfast, Mother Chen suddenly said this to Chen Yu while chewing her food.
Me? Are you not afraid that Ill lose your precious second daughter?
Can you grow some shame? Mother Chen exclaimed, smacking Chen Yu with her chopsticks. How can you possibly forget about your own younger sister? If you forget to bring her home again, just pack up and leave the house yourself.
If Im sending Second Eldest to class, what will you be doing?
Working part-time.
Doesnt your part-time start in the afternoon?
Its the weekend. The shops busy, so I can earn double if I work the morning shift, as well.
Mom. At this time, Chen Yike suddenly pouted and said, You dont have to suffer so much.
If you know Im suffering, then save me some worry and help me with the household chores. If you do that, I wont have to suffer anymore.
I-In that case, I think you should continue suffering a little, Chen Yike stuttered.
Hey! Eldest! It seems youve learned quite a lot of your brothers good points! Mother Chen said sarcastically.
Nonsense! Raising her brow, Chen Yike retorted, Where does my brother have any good points?
Why does every conversation end up with me getting verbally abused? After hearing the exchange between his mother and sister, Chen Yu suddenly found the porridge in his bowl tasteless.
Bang!
Father Chen smacked the table in annoyance. Eat your food! he ordered. When its time to eat, focus on eating! Whats the point of sharing a meal if all you do is argue every time?!
Whats gotten into you? Mother Chen asked in dissatisfaction.
Im not eating anymore! Father Chen said, pushing away his bowl before leaving the dining table. He then changed into his work clothes and left the house.
Bang!
When the security door slammed shut, the Chen familys four siblings exchanged glances for a brief moment before lowering their heads and silently continuing with their meal.
Mom. After taking a few bites, Chen Yike spoke up hesitantly, My dad isnt angry with you. He just doesnt want you to go to work.
I know. If you can see through him, do you think I cant? Mother Chen said. After finishing her porridge, she set down her bowl with a sigh and added, Im heading to work. Deal with lunch on your own.
After saying so, Mother Chen stood up and put on a coat. She then grabbed her tattered purse and left the house as well.
Brother After seeing their mother off, Chen Yike turned to look at Chen Yu and suggested, Why not just hand the money over to the family?
Its just a few thousand yuan. So what if I hand it over? Chen Yu mumbled while chewing his food. Our familys expenditure is much greater than that. Wait till Ive earned more money.
After finishing his meal, Chen Yu returned to his room and opened his laptop to check his accounts statistics on Bilibili.

In just five days, his first video had already been actively recommended by Bilibili and pushed to the first trending page! His account statistics had also skyrocketed, with his total views exceeding even 400,000!
From Chen Yus rough understanding of Bilibilis platform, he couldve earned at least 1,200 yuan from just this one video! Moreover, as more time passed, this video would have generated him even more income!
Unfortunately, as he had chosen to conceal his identity, he wouldnt see a single cent of that money. He could only watch as all his profits went to charity.
Hah Although I know that keeping my identity hidden is the best option, I still cant help but feel pissed.
Closing his laptop, Chen Yu held up his phone to check the time. He then left his room and shouted at Chen Erke, who was currently drawing in the living room, Hey, Second Eldest! Change your clothes! Its time for class!
Ah? Chen Yus words stunned Chen Erke. Raising her head to look at the clock on the wall, she scratched her head and said, Its just a little over eight oclock. My class only starts at nine.
I have a delivery coming in at nine, so I wont be able to drop you off at that time, Chen Yu said as he grabbed his coat from the clothes stand. He then helped Chen Erke into her coat before dragging her toward the door.
Brother! Its too early! Chen Yike said, sticking her head out of the kitchen. Whats the point of going so soon?
Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, She can start learning sooner by herself if she arrives earlier.
Bag! I havent taken my bag Chen Erke said, her cheeks puffed up in dissatisfaction as she pointed at the bag lying on the sofa.
Go get it quickly.
Al-Also, my water bottle
No need for that. Ill buy a drink for you.
After saying so, Chen Yu picked up Chen Erke with one arm and left the house.
In less than 20 minutes, the brother-sister duo arrived before the front door of the mental abacus tuition center. Looking through the glass door, the two of them saw three teachers and a little boy with a pointed head inside the tuition center.
Oh? Erke, why are you here so early? When one of the female teachers noticed Chen Erke, she hurriedly opened the door for the pair of siblings. Bending down to give Chen Erkes head a pat, the teacher asked, Did your big brother send you here?
Mhm. Chen Erke nodded despondently.
Why did you send her here so early? Its not yet time for class, the female teacher asked as she raised her head to look at Chen Yu.
Ah. Awkwardly rubbing his neck, Chen Yu answered, Shes just playing at home. Rather than doing that, she might as well come here earlier and practice her mental abacus.
Hmph. Chen Erke pouted in dissatisfaction.
Hurry up and go inside. Ill go buy you a drink.
I dont want to! Chen Erke complained. Im not happy!
Hmm, what will I do? Chen Yu thought out loud. How about I give you a punch? Youre such a cute little sister. You should look very good once you take a punch and start crying.
Wah! Upon hearing Chen Yus words, Chen Erke broke into tears and started wailing.
Hahahaha. Chen Yu could not help guffawing.
As for the female teacher standing nearby, she looked at Chen Yu as if he was a demon.
After passing his crying little sister to the female teacher, Chen Yu visited the minimarket next door and bought a bottle of iced black tea and two packets of snacks. However, when Chen Yu returned to the mental abacus tuition center, he noticed that the young boy with the cool hairdo was currently wiping the tears off Chen Erkes face.
How dare he?!
Killing intent flashed across Chen Yus eyes when he saw this scene. He immediately sped back to the minimarket and bought a bottle of Cola. He then violently shook the bottle before returning to the tuition center.
Second Eldest, I bought you a drink and some snacks, Chen Yu said fawningly.
Hmph. However, Chen Erke simply turned her head away, sulking.
Come on, be a good girl! Chen Yu said as he pushed the tea and snacks into Chen Erkes hands. He then waved the bottle of Cola before her and continued, How about I show you a magic trick as an apology?
A magic track? Chen Erkes head snapped back to Chen Yu upon hearing his offer. What kind of magic trick?
A very mysterious kind of magic. Do you want to see it? Chen Yu said teasingly.
However, Chen Erke remained silent, hesitating over whether she should dismiss her anger so quickly.
Its a very fun magic trick. I guarantee that youll laugh once you see it! Chen Yu said.
Ill forgive you if its fun.
Deal, Chen Yu said, nodding. He then shifted his attention to the little boy beside Chen Erke and said, Little friend, Ill give you this bottle of Cola.
Y-You made Erke cry. Youre a bad guy, the little boy said as he glared at Chen Yu with hostility. He continued wiping away Chen Erkes tears gently.
Chen Yu gnashed his teeth when he saw this. After secretly giving the bottle a few more shakes, he handed it to the little boy and said, Dont tell me you cant open the bottle? If you dont have strength, you wont be able to protect my little sister.
Who says I cant open it?! the little boy retorted angrily, falling for Chen Yus ploy hook, line, and sinker. The boy snatched the bottle from Chen Yu and gave the cap a powerful twist!
Whoosh!
The dark liquid inside the bottle instantly transformed into white foam that sprayed across the little boys face.
Hahahaha! Chen Yu immediately laughed at the sight.
As for Chen Erke, after falling into a daze for a brief moment, she, too, started laughing in tears in response to the situation, Hahahaha!
The little boy:
Adding insult to injury, Chen Yu said, Little sister, doesnt he look like a drenched chicken? Hahahaha!
In response, Chen Erke answered, He does! Hahahaha!
The little boy:
Chen Yu: Do you like this magic trick?
Chen Erke: I like it! Hahaha!
Chen Yu: Is your big brother wonderful?
Chen Erke: Yes! Hahaha
After the exchange between the two siblings, tears welled up in the little boys eyes. His breathing also started convulsing.
A little punk dares pick up my little sister? Garbage.
Chen Yu wore a sneer on his face as he returned home. After giving Chen Yike a greeting, he made his way to his room and locked the door.
Its exactly nine now. The delivery should be arriving soon, right?
No sooner did Chen Yu finish speaking than the space before him suddenly warped, then transformed into a miniature vortex a second later.
Dong!
A short moment later, a white box fell out of the vortex and landed on the floor.

Chapter 30 C Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right
After the white box fell on the floor, the space-time wormhole gradually disappeared, and the space within the room reverted to its original state.
Its here!
Chen Yu rubbed his hands together in excitement as he stepped forward to open the box. He then extended his hands into the special packing foam and retrieved an extremely heavy pair of glasses.
Its actually a pair of glasses?
After curiously scrutinizing the glasses, Chen Yu set them aside and fished an instruction manual out of the box.
[Quantum Reading Glasses]
These were the words written on the instruction manuals front page.
This is
Scratching his head, Chen Yu briefly read through the instruction manual and gained a rough understanding of the Quantum Reading Glassess ability.
It was a learning assistance device created in the year 2144. So long as the user wore this pair of glasses, they could read much more information within a short time.
The glasses principle of operation was extremely complex, so the instruction manual did not go into detail on it. The inventor of the glasses merely placed a small comment at the end of the manualJust believe that it works!
After tossing away the useless instruction manual, Chen Yu grabbed the glasses once more. However, just as he was about to test the glasses, the phone in his pocket suddenly started vibrating, signaling that he had just received a message.
He pulled out his phone and found that the saleswoman from Transdimensional Marketing had sent him a message on WeChat.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, did you receive the delivery?]
[Chen Yu: I received it. Its called the Quantum Reading Glasses, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, Mr. Chen. The Quantum Reading Glasses is the product we applied for you.]
[Chen Yu: Why do I feel like this thing is a scam? Quantum Reading Glasses? Are you sure you didnt just add the word Quantum to a pair of ordinary glasses?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please rest assured. Quantum Reading Glasses are one of the most popular learning assistance products used in the 22nd century. It is an excellent technological product that has undergone market and user trials. It also matches the conditions you provided.]
[Chen Yu: Alright, Ill give it a try, then. Talk to you later.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen.]
After closing WeChat and putting away his phone, Chen Yu studied the pair of glasses in his hands for several more minutes before putting them on.
Wow!
After wearing the glasses, Chen Yu stood up in amazement as he looked at his surroundings.
The instant he wore the Quantum Reading Glasses and looked through the heavy lenses, he discovered that the world around him seemed toremain the same.
It seems likea normal pair of glasses?
After walking to his study table, Chen Yu took out a Chinese language textbook and tried reading the first page.
However, nothing special happened.
Maybe I need to power it up?
Chen Yu took off the glasses and eyed it once more. This time, he noticed a small button hidden above the right side of the frame.
Click.
When he pressed the button, the glass lenses suddenly lit up with a green light, which gave the glasses a very techie look.
Lets try wearing them again
When Chen Yu put the heavy glasses back on, he found his vision dyed with a layer of light green. He then picked up his language textbook once more and started reading the first page. And as he did so, three lines of text suddenly appeared on the left lens.
[Information source detected. Do you wish to enter reading mode?
[If yes, blink your left eye.]
[If no, blink your right eye.]
Interesting! Chen Yu exclaimed, his eyes glowing with interest. What happens if I blink both eyes together?
Enacting his thoughts, he promptly shut both his eyes.
When Chen Yu opened his eyes again, he discovered that nothing had changed; all three lines of text remained on the left lens.
[Information source detected. Do you wish to enter reading mode?]
[If yes, blink your left eye.]
[If no, blink your right eye.]
This time, Chen Yu obediently blinked his left eye.
In the next moment, Chen Yu felt as if a jolt of electricity had pierced his brain. At the same time, except for the language textbook and his own hands, everything within his field of vision became blurry. It was as if the world around him had just been censored with mosaics.
[You have entered reading mode. Please select a reading standard.]
[Basic C Move your eyes upward.]
[Intermediate C Move your eyes downward.]
[Advanced C Move your eyes upward and downward.]
[Limit C Move your eyes up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right.]
Chen Yu:
After remaining silent for a brief moment, Chen Yu rolled his eyes.
[You have chosen the basic reading standard.]
Along with the brief appearance of this line of text, Chen Yu immediately felt an intense change.
Time had slowed down.
It was moving at least twice as slow as normal!
When Chen Yu tried stretching out his hand, his hand moved at half the speed it usually did.
So~ that~ is~ the~ case Speed~ read~ing~ is~ a~chieved~ by~ slow~ing~ the~ brains~ per~cep~tion~ of~ time.
Now, even the speed of his speech felt slower than usual.
Afterward, Chen Yu slowly raised his hands and removed the quantum glasses. As soon as he did so, his perception of time reverted to normal.
The flow of time in the world around me remains unchanged. So, these glasses raise my brains efficiency? As he carefully appraised the glasses in his hands, Chen Yu could not help exclaiming joyfully, What a good product!
Following which, he wore the glasses again and was met with a few lines of text.
[Glasses have been removed. Reading mode turning off.]
[Information source detected. Do you wish to enter reading mode?]
[If yes, blink your left eye.]
[If no, blink your right eye.]
Chen Yu blinked his left eye.
[You have entered reading mode. Please select a reading standard.]
[Basic C Move your eyes upward.]
[Intermediate C Move your eyes downward.]
[Advanced C Move your eyes upward and downward.]
[Limit C Move your eyes up, up, down, down, left, right, left]
Without waiting for the introduction to end, Chen Yu moved his eyes downward.
[You have chosen the intermediate reading standard.]
In the next instant, the flow of time around him became even slower than before.
Time had slowed by at least three times!
Too~~ awe~~some
In the time Chen Yu took to close his slow and dull lips, he had already finished reading the first page of his language textbook. However, when he reached out to turn the page, he discovered that his page-turning speed was simply too slow. Hence, he placed the textbooks spine on his left hand and bent the top edge of the book with his right hand before gradually loosening his thumb.
Shua Shua Shua
The pages of the book turned one after another.
Three minutes later, Chen Yu finished reading the middle school language textbook.
When he removed the quantum glasses, he felt as if ages had passed by already.
In his consciousness, he had spent over a dozen minutes reading the textbook.
This thingis truly amazing!
After passionately stroking the frame of the glasses, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and sent a WeChat message.
[Chen Yu: This thing is amazing!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Have you tried it already?]
[Chen Yu: I tried it. Its very, very wonderful. I like it very much.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its great that you like it, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: However, I have a question regarding this Quantum Reading Glasses.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please ask.]
[Chen Yu: While this things function is wonderful, what about its power consumption? I didnt find any recharging equipment in the package, either. What happens if it runs out of power?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You dont need to worry about this. Once the glasses run out of power, all you need to do is replace the nuclear battery.]
[Chen Yu: ???]

Chapter 31 C I Am Just Slightly Interested
[Chen Yu: Nuclear battery? Are you serious?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, is there a problem?]
[Chen Yu: Do you think I have a nuclear battery lying around? Where am I even going to find one?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: This is not within the sphere of our responsibilities.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You can wait until the year 2105 when portable nuclear batteries come into existence. At that time, you can replace the batteries for your glasses.]
[Chen Yu: Are we even speaking the same language?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, do you still need help with anything?]
[Chen Yu: Yes!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please ask.]
[Chen Yu: How long can this prepackaged nuclear battery last?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The Quantum Reading Glasses power consumption is extremely large. A standard KG1 Nuclear Battery can power the glasses for around 450 hours.]
[Chen Yu: How many days is that?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, why dont you calculate it yourself?]
[Chen Yu: Im too lazy to do that. Just tell me.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Roughly 18 days.]
[Chen Yu: That short?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There is a limit to the amount of work the brain can undertake. Normally, the longest possible session for using the quantum glasses is three hours a day. Even if you use the glasses every day, they will last you for more than half a year. Once you exhaust the battery, you can also choose to let us reclaim the glasses.]
[Chen Yu: I see. Also, will the power consumption increase together with the reading standard?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is correct, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: I understand.]
Ending the conversation there, Chen Yu tossed his phone onto the bed and stood up. He then started setting up his studio. He moved his bed, stacked his table on top of it, and covered up his walls with bedsheets.
After working for about a dozen minutes, his studio was ready for filming.
Brother! At this time, a shout from Chen Yike suddenly came from outside Chen Yus room. What are you doing there again?!
Why must you add again? Chen Yu shouted back.
You made a ruckus last Sunday too. Just what are you doing in there?
Its none of your business. Dont disturb me.
Perking up his ears, Chen Yu made sure that Chen Yike had left before he took out his portable camera and set it on video shooting mode. He then put on the set of clothes he wore in the previous video and donned the opera mask to hide his face.
After making sure all the preparations were done, Chen Yu moved the white box that previously housed the Quantum Reading Glasses onto his makeshift table and started his review.
Greetings, my fellow friends and viewers
After speaking up to this point, Chen Yu suddenly fell into a daze as he realized that he had yet to write the script. He hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and started drafting something.
A dozen minutes or so later, he completed his script and briefly read through it a few times. He then slapped his script onto the makeshift table and started speaking. Greetings, my fellow friends and viewers. This is the second episode of Transdimensional Review. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for all the support youve shown for the first episode. The product I bring everyone today is the Quantum Reading Glasses manufactured by the Great Light Company in the year 2144
Now that the introduction is done, lets start the unboxing. Let me clarify this first: in order to evaluate the functionality of this product, Ive previously unboxed it already. So, Ill only be doing a simplified version of the unboxing now
Wow! Kekekeke! Awesome! This is a moment that belongs solely to me!
Im sure everyone can see the books Ive prepared here. I will now use these dice here to determine a page and use just one second to memorize the contents of the selected page. I will then recite the contents without looking or missing a word
An hour later, Chen Yu removed the Quantum Reading Glasses and massaged his temples in exhaustion before standing up to stop the camera.
As he had previous experience in doing a review, the recording session this time was much shorter. Even so, the Quantum Reading Glasses still placed too big of a strain on his mind. Hence, despite the shorter recording session, he ended up much more exhausted than he had during the last recording session.
Crap, my head
After dragging his real table off his bed, Chen Yu sprawled on the bed and continuously massaged his aching head. Only after resting for nearly half an hour did he start to feel better. Now that he could think straight again, he stood up from his bed and burned his script. He then tidied his room.
Once he was done, he powered up his laptop and transferred his cameras data to the laptop. With [Smart Editing]s help, he quickly edited his video.
This is truly convenient! With this, I think I can consider earning some money by helping others edit videos.
After manually altering the frequency of his voice in the video and ensuring that there were no defects, Chen Yu uploaded the video to Bilibili and set it to air tomorrow at 9 A.M.
Due to the characteristics of the Quantum Reading Glasses, the review video this time was far less shocking when compared to the review video of the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory. Even so, it more than qualified as a review video.
Following which, Chen Yu exited Bilibilis platform and tapped into the Marketing Terminals [Profile] tab.
[Name: Chen Yu]

[Subscribers: 8,156]
[Main Target: Complete at least two of four missions. (1/2)]
[Mission 1: Reach (129,572/500) viewers and (8,156/50) subscribers on the first advertisement. Mission complete.]
[Mission 2: Reach (129,572/5,000) viewers and (8,156/500) subscribers on the second advertisement. Mission incomplete.]
Upon seeing the contents of the second mission, Chen Yu was stunned. Hurriedly, he contacted the Transdimensional Marketing Companys saleswoman.
[Chen Yu: Ive met the targets of the second mission already!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats correct, Mr. Chen. Ive said this before: the larger your fanbase is, the easier it will be for you to survive the probation period.]
[Chen Yu: This is no longer a problem of difficulty. Ive already met the requirements to pass the probation period.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Indeed, but you still have to try your best to complete all four missions. That way, your advertisement potential will be raised to the highest possible rank, and you will receive all sorts of benefits. My company will even prepare a special gift for you if you succeed in completing all four missions.]
[Chen Yu: What kind of special gift?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There are three options for the special gift, and you can choose one of them. The first option is a Multifunctional Mineral Detection Vehicle. The second option is a Full Coverage VR World Login Device. The third option is a Romantic Partner Simulation Robot that comes with an AI capable of connecting with the internet.]
[Chen Yu: Romantic Partner? Is that the robot listed on the first product catalog you sent me? The one made by Daisy Rays Daily Products Co., Ltd?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats right. It seems you are quite aware of this product. Do you have a need for it? If so, we can apply for it for you ahead of time.]
[Chen Yu: What do you mean by have a need? I am currently a high school student that is focused on studying. Why would I possibly need this nonsense? I am just slightly interested.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Oh, apologies.]
[Chen Yu: However, since youve already said so, not choosing it would seem like Im pretending to be upright. So, Ill choose this robot. Make sure to seal it properly when delivering it.]

Chapter 32 C Strong Children Feared Nobody
While suppressing his anticipation of the arrival of the [Romantic Partner Simulation Robot] in the future, Chen Yu rapidly tapped his thumbs on his phone.
[Chen Yu: What are the advertisement targets for the two future missions?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: During probation, every subsequent mission given has its requirement increased by tenfold.]
[Chen Yu: In other words, Ill need to garner 50,000 viewers and 5,000 subscribers for the third advertisement? In that case, Ive completed those targets as well.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The fourth advertisement will require you to garner a total of 500,000 viewers and 50,000 subscribers. Your chances of succeeding are extremely great!]
[Chen Yu: I understand. Make sure to give it your all when applying for subsequent products!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please rest assured. Our team always gives it our all when applying for products. However, as you are currently in your probation period, we can only apply for small products for you.]
After seeing this message, Chen Yu turned off WeChat and took a look at the time displayed on the upper corner of his phone. He then changed his clothes, preparing to fetch Chen Erke back from her tuition class.
Click.
However, as soon as Chen Yu opened his rooms door, he came across Chen Yike and Chen Sanke running away in a panic. It was obvious that they had been eavesdropping on him.
Get back here! Stand still! Chen Yu bellowed, his loud voice stunning his two sisters. He then walked up to the two and demanded, What did you hear?
Right, I still have 50 words I need to memorize! Gotta go, gotta go! Chen Yike said, putting on an act of realization as she attempted to dash back to her own room.
Right! Mimicking her elder sister, Chen Sanke patted her head and said, Its time for milk! Gotta go, gotta go!
Where do you two think youre going?! Having no intention of letting them off the hook, Chen Yu grabbed both Yike and Sanke and held them in place. Speak! What did you hear!?
Chen Yike: I didnt hear anything.
Chen Sanke: Me too.
Chen Yike: I only happened to pass by.
Chen Sanke: Me too.
Chen Yike: Why do you even care? Are you doing something sneaky inside? Even so, I have no interest in finding out!
Chen Sanke: Me too.
Hearing his two sisters responses, Chen Yu could not help but sigh. He then released them and said, Dont come near my room in the future! Otherwise, I wont be giving you allowances anymore!
Big Brother, have you ever given me an allowance before? Chen Sanke asked, tilting her head in confusion.
In response, Chen Yu took out two notes from his pocket: a ten-yuan bill and a one-yuan bill. Here, happy? If you do these sneaky actions again in the future, there really wont be any more allowances!
Seeing the two notes, Chen Yikes eyes glowed as she said excitedly, Thank you, Big Brother!
Mimicking Chen Yike, Chen Sanke said, Thank you, Big Brother!
As soon as they finished speaking, both little sisters reached out to grab the money.
In the case of Chen Sanke, she went for the ten-yuan note without hesitation.
On the other hand, Chen Yike stretched out both hands and grabbed both bills.
Chen Yike:
Chen Sanke:
Both little sisters turned to look at each other, sparks and hostility gradually appearing in their eyes.
Taking the initiative, Chen Yike said, I am the elder sister! I should be responsible for distributing this money!
No way! Chen Sanke said, shaking her head. Youll pocket it all!
Where did you learn the term pocket?! Just what are you learning in school?! I cant indulge you any longer! I must be the one to control this money!
No! Im still young, and my body is still growing! I need to buy delicious food to eat!
Youre overfed! Just look at your chubby, little belly! I will save this money for you. Ill let you spend it once you lose some weight.
Liar! I I dont have enough nutrients! What if I end up with a flat chest like you in the future?!
Haaah?! What nonsense are you spouting?! Are you looking to die?! Where did you learn these things?!
While his two younger sisters were arguing with each other, Chen Yu stuck his hands into his pockets and started whistling as he made his way out of the house.
When Chen Yu arrived at the mental abacus tuition center, class just happened to have ended. After waiting at the entrance for a short moment, he quickly noticed Chen Erke running out of the tuition center and caught her when she pounced on him. She then started rubbing her face against his chest.
Alright, stop rubbing. When his chest started to itch from all the rubbing, Chen Yu placed Chen Erke on the ground.
I thought you would forget about me again today.
How is that possible? Youre my precious little sister.
You forgot about me last time.
I didnt forget that time, Chen Yu said as he patted Chen Erkes head. It was your elder sisters fault. She locked my room and prevented me from picking you up.
Huh? Chen Erke was stunned when she heard Chen Yus words. Why did she do that?
Maybe shes evil, Chen Yu said, shrugging. He then took Chen Erkes small school bag and held her hand as he continued, I was heartbroken at that time. When I thought about how helpless you would be in the cold outdoors, my eyes became blurry. For a moment, I had even thought of jumping out of the window to go pick you up.
We live on the nineteenth floor.
Right, thats why I stopped myself from jumping. Your elder sister really isnt anything good.
Big Sis is bad! Chen Erke said as she balled up her free hand into a little fist.
Big Brother is better, right?
Big Brother is the best!
Good girl! Chen Yu grew joyful upon hearing Chen Erkes reply. Picking up his little sister, he pointed at the supermarket across the street and said, How about Big Brother bring you to look at goldfish?
No, I dont like goldfish.
Lets go to the amusement park, then.
Is it expensive? Chen Erke asked hesitantly.
Nothing is too expensive for my little sister! Go ahead and play! Big Brother has money!
Yay!! Chen Erke cheered.
After entering the childrens amusement park on the supermarkets third floor, Chen Erke started playing around happily. However, midway through her enjoyment, Chen Yu suddenly called her over.
Second Eldest, dont play with the boys inside. None of them look to be good children, Chen Yu said sternly. He then pointed at a boy and said, Look at that little fatty. He was even thinking of touching your hand just now! The next time he tries to pull something like that, just slap him! Punch him! Spit on him! No boy is good! Unless he is willing to dress as a girl!
Chen Erke:
At 1 P.M., Chen Yu arrived back home, holding Chen Erkes hand. As soon as he opened the door, he immediately heard sounds of quarreling coming from the living room.
Third Eldest! Give me the other half of the note! You cant spend half a note!
Liar! Chen Sanke shouted as she tightened her grip on the torn piece of a ten-yuan bill. Sneering, she continued, If you split a ten-yuan note, doesnt that mean you get two five-yuan notes? Why cant I spend it?
Hurry up and give it to me so that I can stick them back together! We wont be able to use it anymore if you scrunch it any further!
Growing impatient, Chen Yike stretched out her hand to snatch Chen Sankes half of the ten-yuan bill. However, before she could achieve her goal, Chen Sanke smacked her face, sending her tumbling.
Strong children feared nobody!
Youre just trying to pocket it all for yourself! If you really want the money, lets just tear it into ten pieces. Ill give you six pieces while I take four.
Torn money cant be used! Chen Yike said on the verge of tears.
Liar! Chen Sanke said, puffing up her cheeks.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu walked through the front door and was stunned by the sight of his two sisters. After snapping out of his daze, he pulled out his phone and checked the time. Falling into a daze once more, he asked, Ten yuan? You You two have been fighting over this for the past three hours?
Brother! Third Eldest tore the money in half! Chen Yike said, stomping her feet in anger and frustration.
What do you think? Chen Sanke asked as she pinched her waist and puffed up her chest in pride.
Chen Yu: You two really have promising futures.

Chapter 33 C Do You Think Well Skip the Bill?
Alright, thats enough. Ill give each of you ten yuan, so stop arguing, Chen Yu said, clicking his tongue as he dug out two ten-yuan bills from his pocket and passed Chen Yike and Chen Sanke one each. I really feel embarrassed to have sisters like you two.
Thank you, Big Brother! Chen Yike said fawningly as she happily received the ten-yuan note.
Thank you, Big Brother! Chen Sanke answered similarly, jumping with joy after receiving the note.
After putting the money in her pocket, Chen Yike returned her gaze to Chen Sanke and said sternly, Third Eldest, now that youve got money, give that torn ten-yuan note to me.
No! Each of us gets half!
You have money already!
Didnt you receive some as well?
Give it to me!
No!
Torn money cant be spent!
Liar!
In no time at all, the two sisters resumed arguing and tearing at each other.
Chen Yu:
Brother At this time, Chen Erke, whose hand Chen Yu still held, suddenly called out to Chen Yu with wide eyes. Without trying to hide her yearning for the money Chen Yu just handed out in the slightest, she said, Big Sis and Little Sis both received money. I really am happy for them.
Chen Yu:
Big Brother, you said you were going to buy me crayons before, yet you never actually bought them for me. If I had ten yuan as well, I could buy a lot of crayons.
Before Chen Erkes unbearably piercing gaze, Chen Yus lips twitched as he said, D-Didnt I bring you to the amusement park just now?
But I didnt ask for that! Chen Erke said, shrugging. In a very logical manner, she explained, You were the one who brought me there, Big Brother. I didnt ask to go. Moreover, I even advised you not to bring me there.
What advice did you give me?! You were obviously having fun in there!
I told you that an amusement park is expensive! Chen Erke sighed, But I failed to dissuade you.
Chen Yus complexion instantly darkened at Chen Erkes words.
Of us three sisters, only I didnt get any allowance. Gripping the edges of her shirt, Chen Erke put on a pitiful act as she said, But I know Big Brother isnt rich. Big Sis and Little Sis need allowances more than I do. Im the second eldest, and Ive always lacked presence in the house. You dont need to pay too much attention to me.
At Chen Erkes following words, Chen Yus complexion turned even darker. Immediately, he pulled out another ten-yuan note from his pocket and said, You win.
Thank you, Big Brother! Upon seeing Chen Yu cave, Chen Erke revealed a joyful expression as she accepted the ten-yuan note.
Meanwhile, almost at the same time this happened, Chen Yike and Chen Sanke stopped arguing with each other. Instead, both of them turned to glare at Chen Yu as if he were an enemy.
Uh Chen Yu was stunned by this turn of events. Confused, he asked, Why are you two looking at me like that?
Big Brother brought Second Sis to the amusement park, Chen Sanke said, the edges of her eyes reddening instantly.
Why did you leave us at home?! Chen Yike demanded, stomping her foot.
Chen Yu:
Big Brother hates Sanke.
Brother, youre biased!
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu suddenly held his head and hunkered down, shutting himself off from the outside world completely.
Today, he finally understood the main reason why his family was poor.
Second Eldest! Ignoring Chen Yus actions, Chen Yike walked up to Chen Erke and grabbed her left hand, saying, Congratulations. You became Big Brothers new favorite. Big Sis really is envious of you.
Second Sis! Chen Sanke similarly approached Chen Erke, her butt knocking down Chen Yu on the way. She then grabbed Chen Erkes right hand and asked, Was the amusement park fun? Did you see Pikachu there? Ive never been to an amusement park before.
Unable to bear the torture anymore, Chen Yu frantically scratched his head as he abruptly stood up. He then raised his hands in defeat, saying, I was wrong! It was my mistake, alright?!
Chen Sanke: I want to go to the amusement park!
Chen Yike: I want to go, as well!
Eldest, youre already in middle school, yet you still want to go to an amusement park? Are you not ashamed?
I look young, Chen Yike said as she caressed her own face. Nobody can tell that Im a middle-schooler.
Fine, fine, fine! Giving up, Chen Yu pushed open the security door and pointed at the distant elevator, saying, Ill bring you all there, alright?!
Will Second Sis be going too? Biting her thumb, Chen Sanke said, If Second Sis goes again, wont she be going there twice? Thats unfair.
My little ancestor! Spare me!
Third Eldest! How can you be so greedy?! Chen Yike said as she lightly slapped Chen Sankes head. She then continued in a whisper, At least wait until youre done playing before saying that! Youll get to play again in that case!
Youre right! Chen Sankes eyes glowed brightly when she heard Chen Yikes reasoning. She hugged Chen Yus leg and said, I misspoke before. Lets go play!
Chen Yu:
Twenty minutes later, the Chen familys four siblings arrived at the supermarkets third-floor childrens amusement park once more.
After Chen Yu footed the bill for her ticket, Chen Sanke immediately dashed into the amusement park in excitement.
Brother, dont buy me a ticket.
Just as Chen Yu was about to get Chen Yike a ticket, she suddenly stopped him.
Didnt you want to play as well? Chen Yu asked, confused.
I was just joking! How old am I already? Why would I want to play this? Chen Yike said, rolling her eyes. Moreover, it costs 60 yuan an hour to play here. Its too wasteful. Let Second Eldest and Third Eldest play.
At this time, Chen Erke tugged on Chen Yus shirt and shook her head, saying, I wont play, either. I played already. Let Little Sis play.
Even if youve played before, you can still play again.
No need, Chen Erke said, shaking her head. Im tired.
After remaining silent for a short moment, Chen Yu rubbed Chen Erkes head as he revealed an understanding smile.
Exactly one hour later, Chen Sanke walked out of the amusement park and put on her shoes. Panting tiredly, she ran up to Chen Yu and stretched out her two hands, demanding, Carry me!
Hurriedly picking up Chen Sanke, Chen Yu asked, Why not continue playing?
One hour passed already, Chen Sanke replied while panting for air. Well need to add more money if I continue playing.
Chen Sankes reply confounded Chen Yu. Is that something for you to worry about?!
Hah Our house isnt wealthy, so we cant casually spend money, Chen Sanke said like a sage. The children of poor families grow sensible at an earlier age. You need to learn how to live properly.
Chen Yu:
Brother, lets go home. Im hungry already, Chen Yike said.
Chen Erke: Im hungry too.
Chen Sanke: Hungry.
Im hungry as well, Chen Yu said. He then pointed ahead and continued, Lets go! Big Brother will treat you all to a feast!
Bang!
Ten minutes later, the doors to a famous restaurant named Happy Dumplings opened abruptly.
Immediately, a burst of passionate and rhythmic singing flowed into the restaurant.
Invincibility is so, so lonely
Invincibility is so, so hollow
I stand alone at the top, the cold wind constantly blows[1]
Upon hearing the strange music drifting into the restaurant, the restaurants customers promptly turned their attention toward the establishments entrance. What entered their gaze was a group of four wearing sunglasses and exaggerated hairstyles.
From the groups eldest to the youngest, they were:
Chen Yu, eighteen years old.
Chen Yike, fourteen years old.
Chen Erke, nine years old.
Chen Sanke, five years old.
My loneliness who can understand me?
Oh, how lonely invincibility is
Oh, how empty invincibility is
Music, stop! Chen Yu commanded as he stepped on the long-jump diagram drawn near the restaurants entrance.
In response to Chen Yus words, Chen Yike hurriedly turned off the music her phone was playing.
S-Sir? At this time, a waiter timidly walked up to Chen Yu. After briefly evaluating Chen Yus group of four, he asked, A-Are you here to dine?
What am I here for if not to dine? Pointing at an empty table, Chen Yu said majestically, A table for four. Well sit there. Bring me the menu.
In response, the waiter remained in a daze for quite some time before hesitantly handing the menu to Chen Yu.
After taking a seat at his chosen table, Chen Yu flipped to the menus first page before stabbing out his index finger and saying, This, this, this, this This one as well!
A-Are you really going to order so much? the staff member asked, shocked by Chen Yus order. Can you finish it all?
Just bring everything I ordered. If we cant finish it, we can just pack it home.
But
But what? Frowning, Chen Yu said, Do you think well skip our bill? Were flowers of the new generation!
Chen Yike: Thats right!
Chen Erke: Thats right!
Chen Sanke: Thats right!

Chapter 34 C Second Review Video (1)
By the time the Chen familys four siblings walked out of the Happy Dumplings restaurant, the sky was already dark. Meanwhile, standing at the entrance behind them was a group of cooks and service workers looking at the backs of the four siblings with longing gazes.
Hah Chen Yu sighed lightly as he patted the stack of money in his hand. He then said to his little sisters, This restaurant really is cheap. They actually only gave me 1,000 yuan for jumping over 3.5 meters.
Its 2,000 yuan! Chen Yike said, stretching out two fingers. They deducted a thousand for our meal.
Isnt that illogical? Chen Yu grumbled. The restaurant waives your bill if you jump across the 3-meter mark, yet you only get 2,000 yuan for jumping across the 3.5-meter mark. They shouldve included the waiver as well! Scammers!
Chen Erke: Scammers!
Chen Sanke: Scam.
Chen Yike:
This wont do! Balling his fists up in anger, Chen Yu said, Im going to dispute this with them!
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly turned around and charged back toward the restaurant. However, after he had taken just a few steps forward, he immediately halted his footsteps when he noticed the group of restaurant employees glaring at him. He then turned back to his little sisters and asked, Why didnt any of you stop me?
Chen Yike: If you get injured, well get a lot of medical compensation that will help ease our familys finances.
Chen Erke: Make sure to protect the 1,000 yuan.
Chen Sanke: Good luck!
Chen Yu grew speechless at his sisters response. After remaining silent for some time, he turned away from the restaurant and said, Forget it. Im a gentleman. Moreover, eating a loss also means learning a lesson.
Tsk.
Tsk.
Tsk.
You three truly are the worst little sisters in the world!
Hmph!
Hmph!
Hmph!
While walking home together with his three sisters, Chen Yu pointed at the bags of takeaway Chen Yike carried and said, We need to think of a new reason for bringing so much food back home. Lets say that we came across Principal Pang on our way home and that the principal insisted on treating me to a meal no matter what. We then wrapped up and brought back the leftovers. Understood?
Isnt it bad to lie to Mom and Dad?
Ive already told you before. This is a white lie. If you properly hide this fact, well have another big meal next week!
Deal.
Twenty minutes later, the four siblings arrived home. After opening the security door, Chen Yu immediately noticed Mother Chen working busily through the kitchens window.
Mom! No need to cook dinner! We have dishes already!
As soon as Chen Yu entered the house, he immediately received the dozen or so bags from Chen Yike and raised them for Mother Chen to see.
You Mother Chen was naturally surprised when she saw the bags of food. Are these leftovers again?
Thats right. Theyre lavish dishes.
Where did they come from?
We came across my schools fat principal today. That loon insisted on treating us to a meal. We failed to decline, so we ended up going along with him. After the meal, we had some leftovers, so we packed them back.
Upon hearing Chen Yus explanation, Mother Chen initially revealed a confused expression. Afterward, her expression transformed into shock before turning into rage. In the end, she grabbed her rolling pin and raised it in threat.
Seeing his mothers strange response, Chen Yu followed her line of sight and turned to look at the living rooms sofa, and what entered his eyes were his father and a surprised Principal Pang.
Almost instantly, Chen Yus expression went from confusion to doubt, to shock, and eventually settled at fear.
As for Chen Yike, Erke, and Sanke, their expressions went from confusion to surprise, to pleasant surprise, and eventually gloating.
As the house fell into silence, Chen Yike hurriedly took out her phone and played an egoistic song that suited the current situation[1].
Breeze growing cold, fading into night.
Searching high and low, running out of light.
Cant let go, try as you might.
Casting away
Crap! Parents that beat their children are the worst! Covering his swollen ears, Chen Yu returned to his room and sat before his study table. He then cursed, That loon, as well! I was right to call him a loon! Why is he visiting my house at such a time?!
While cursing Principal Pang, Chen Yu gently rubbed his ears that Mother Chen had roughly pinched and pulled on. He then donned the Quantum Reading Glasses and started reading a primary one English textbook.
Only by studying and gaining knowledge will I forget the pain my body and soul sufferLu Xun[2].
The next day, Monday:
After sending his three little sisters off to school like usual, Chen Yu did not head to Sixth High. Instead, he carried his backpack and hid inside an internet cafe.
Minors are not allowed to enter.
When Chen Yu entered the internet cafe, the lady manning the register said this to him with a frown.
How can you tell that Im a minor? Im already an adult, alright?
Hand over your identification, then.
Im not here to surf the internet, so why must I provide identification?
If youre not here to surf the net, what are you here for? the cashier asked, stunned.
Cant I come here to study? Chen Yu asked, eyeing the other party with contempt. He then carried his backpack to an empty seat, put on the Quantum Reading Glasses, and immersed himself in reading a primary two English textbook.
However, seeing how he was flipping through the textbook, outsiders definitely wouldnt think that he was studying. He looked more like a mentally challenged child fooling around.
Buzz! Buzz, buzz
Roughly half an hour later, Chen Yus phone started vibrating in his pocket. After removing the quantum glasses and taking out his phone, Chen Yu noticed that it was his form teacher calling him. He picked up the call and said, Hello? Teacher?
Why didnt you come to school today?!
The form teachers voice came roaring out of Chen Yus phone.
Youre not letting me study properly, so why should I go to school?
Do you not need to train? Teacher Niu has come looking for you several times already!
Im not going. Do whatever you want.
Where are you now? What are you doing?
Im studying, of course. Seeing as you guys arent letting me study, Im sure its fine if I find a place to study myself, right? Chen Yu said gleefully.
However, as soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the man seated next to him started furiously clicking on his mouse while shouting, Use your ultimate! Fool! If not now, when are you going to use your ultimate?! Do you even know how to play?! Click R, fool!
Chen Yu:
The form teacher: You actually skipped school to visit an internet cafe?!
No, I didnt.
Where are you?! Tell me! Which net cafe is it?!
Cough! Cough!
Faking a cough, Chen Yu impassively ended the call and switched his phone to airplane mode. He then put the quantum glasses on and resumed earnestly flipping through his textbook.
At 9 A.M., Chen Yu paused his studies and took out his phone. Using the internet cafes WiFi, he opened the Bilibili application on his phone.
Nine oclock was when his review video got released to the public. He wanted to see what kind of feedback his second review video received.
Due to the first videos success, his Transdimensional Review account received high priority on Bilibilis recommendation list. Hence, this time, he only spent a few minutes scrolling through the technology section before locating his video.
[Behold! Real Quantum Reading!]
This was the title of his second review video.
Ah This name looks somewhat embarrassing.
Suppressing his embarrassment, Chen Yu clicked on his video. As soon as he laid eyes on the statistics displayed below his video, his eyes glowed brightly.
Views: 705
Bullet comments: 47
Likes: 50
Coins: 35
His video had gone live just a few minutes ago, yet it had already garnered such results. This was all thanks to the foundation that his previous video created.
This was the way independent media worked. If one managed to create a viral video and raise the number of subscribers one had, even if the subsequent videos were not as interesting, it would still be possible for one to survive in the industry for a very long time.
Hah
After taking a deep breath, Chen Yu tapped to play his video.
[First!]
[Second!]
[First!]
As soon as the video started, three bullet comments flowed across the top of the video.
Chapter 35

Chapter 35 C Second Review Video (2)
After some bullet comments sporadically passed across the screen, light gradually appeared on the dark screen and revealed Chen Yus masked face.
Greetings, my fellow friends and viewers. This is the second episode of Transdimensional Review. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for all the support youve shown on the first episode. The product I bring everyone today is the Quantum Reading Glasses manufactured by the Great Light Company in the year 2144. Its this thing on my table.
After saying so, Chen Yu tapped the white box before him. He then returned his gaze to the camera as he explained, This is an extremely amazing product. How amazing is it? In terms of practicality, it completely obliterates the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory I previously reviewed.
[How much is it? Im buying it!]
[UP, youre in big trouble! Someone from Bilibili analyzed your last video! They verified that you didnt include any special effects in your video and that you really made a nuclear bomb. We already reported you to the police. Just you wait.]
[Quantum mechanics is already outdated. Can you not go after this saturated topic, UP? How about you review a basketball that can let people sing, jump, and rap?]
[Stupid UP, online reviewing]
The bullet comments erupted for a brief moment before disappearing once more. In the video, Chen Yu then stretched his arms and opened the white box, saying, I wont bore you with nonsense. Lets start unboxing the product now. Let me clarify this first: in order to evaluate the functionality of this product, Ive previously unboxed it already. So, Ill only be doing a simplified version of the unboxing now.
After saying so, Chen Yu took out the Quantum Reading Glasses from the box and offhandedly smacked the box to a corner. He then carefully placed the glasses on his reviewing table and said, Alright, unboxing complete. Lets proceed to the next topicreview introduction.
[Isnt that a little too simplified? You might as well edit out the unboxing phase at this rate.]
[UPs unboxing became even faster! Youre even faster than a rabbit. ( ????)]
[Im friending you because of those words, brother!]
Im sure everyone can see it. This thick and solid pair of glasses is the product we will be reviewing today. It is the Quantum Reading Glasses manufactured by the Great Light Company in the year 2144. As only I can experience the effects of these glasses and experience is a very subjective thing, Im prepared to use facts to prove the magic of these glasses.
Picking up the quantum glasses, Chen Yu straightened his mask and put on the glasses. He then lifted his hands exaggeratedly and said, Wow! Kekekeke! Awesome! Everyone, do you know what it feels like to wear these glasses? Right now, I feel as if the entire world is within my grasp! My myopia is gone, and I can see light! A green light has tinted my entire vision! I can see dust, I can see bacteria, and I can even see influenza viruses! This is a moment that solely belongs to me!
[]
[Easy to use.]
[Its so embarrassing that even my scalp has gone numb.]
[UP, youre doing this on purpose, right?]
[How embarrassing.]
[He really is a lunatic!]
[Goodbye]
[(_)]
Inside the internet cafe, after watching his own video and reading the reminders provided by the bullet comets, Chen Yu reflexively covered his face in shame. At the same time, goosebumps also rose all over his body from embarrassment.
Crap. This is going to be a black history.
It would seem that he really didnt possess a talent for speech and acting.
In the meantime, the Chen Yu in the video was continuing his performance.
In the next moment, he pulled out ten thick books from under his table and placed them on the table, saying, At the time I received these Quantum Reading Glasses from the Great Light Company, I wondered just how I could properly demonstrate their functions. Fortunately, my smart brain quickly thought of a way.
After saying so, Chen Yu held up a book called New Chinese Dictionary. He then took out three dice from his pocket and said, Im sure everyone can see the books Ive prepared here. I will choose a book and a page with these dice here and use just one second to memorize the contents of the selected page. I will then recite the contents without looking or missing a word. Hmmmaybe not without missing a word. One or two mistakes should still be tolerable.
Also, in order to prevent everyone from accusing me of cheating by editing the video, Ive also prepared this thing.
After placing the three dice on the table, Chen Yu magically revealed a watch to the camera, saying, Everyone can clearly see the hour, minute, and second hands on this watch. If I make any edits to the video, I will definitely leave behind some traces. Hence, I feel this method will be sufficient to guarantee the experiments authenticity.
Of course, if there are still people doubting me, wait till my fifth review begins. At that time, I will switch from uploading premade review videos to livestreaming them. Then, I will find some time to redo todays experiment for those who wish to see it.
Now, lets begin the experiment.
After saying so, Chen Yu held up the three dice and displayed them to the camera before giving them a casual toss.
Roll
After the three dice rolled a few times on the table, they stopped and revealed their topmost surfaces to the camera.
One, three, and four. Add them together, and we get seven. In that case, lets pick the seventh book. One, two, threeseven! This one, Chen Yu said as he pulled out the seventh book from the stack of books. This is ****s first volume. Lets set it aside first Huh? Why does my house have ****? Whatever, lets not care about this first. Next, well roll the dice again to decide which page to memorize.
[Why do I get the feeling that somethings amiss?]
[I bid on large!]
[Friend, time to take your medicine.]
Roll
After rolling on the table for a second, the three dice revealed three numbers to the camera.
Two, two, five. Page 225. Next up is the moment to witness a miracle!
[Moment to witness a miracle!]
[This is the last episode. Please cherish it.]
[Reported]
Chen Yu reached up and tapped on the Quantum Reading Glassess power button. The lenses immediately lit up with a gentle green light that repeatedly flickered in and out of existence, giving the glasses a techie feeling.
Currently, I see notification texts through the glasses telling me that the glasses have detected an information source, which is this **** in my hands. Also, if I wish to enter the quantum reading mode, I have to blink my left eye. If I choose otherwise, I have to blink my right eye.
Alright, I blinked my left eye and have successfully entered reading mode. Now, its time to choose the reading modes standard. There are four standards to choose from: basic, intermediate, advanced, and limit. In order to read the contents of page 225 as quickly as possible, Ill be choosing the limit standard directly!
After saying so, Chen Yu moved his eyes up, up, down, down, left, right, left, and right.
[Is the UP having a stroke?]
[Maybe its epilepsy.]
[So, this is the rumored quantum reading? Sure enough, its different from the other flamboyant and cheap goods]
[Truthfully, since youre going down the path of insane and fantasy reviews, you might as well go all-out. For example, you can review an ICBM. That will definitely be interesting. Why are you trying to barge into a boring topic like quantum mechanics? Are you out of creativity already, UP?]
At the same time, over a thousand kilometers away, inside a wide room of an unlisted apartment unit in Beijing, a group of men and women was seated around an office table with heavy expressions on their faces.
Meanwhile, playing on the big screen hung on a nearby wall was none other than Chen Yus second review video.
Leader, the detailed spectral analysis is complete.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened. A bespectacled youth then walked into the room and handed a portfolio to the middle-aged man seated at the head of the office table.
Well resume watching the video afterward.
As soon as the middle-aged man said so, the video playing on the screen stopped. Immediately afterward, the middle-aged man opened the portfolio and started carefully reading the documents inside.
However, the more he read, the uglier his complexion became.
Five minutes later, the middle-aged man finished reading the portfolio. Clenching his fists, he said, It is confirmed that the independent media Transdimensional Reviews video contains no special effects.
In other words one of the men seated beside the middle-aged man muttered in a husky voice.
Thats right. Nodding, the middle-aged man continued, That so-called Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory indeed contained high-density Uranium-235 as well as all sorts of other illegal materials.
After saying so, the middle-aged man abruptly stood up and smacked the table. Start setting things up! Crack the hidden IP address, analyze the videos background, identify the persons accent, and construct a criminal portrait of that person! I also want the account records of every person that leaves a comment, shares, or saves that video! Verify the criminals location and identity as soon as possible and capture him!
Yes, sir!

Chapter 36 C Trouble Brewing
In the video, Chen Yu was still reviewing the Quantum Reading Glasses.
Alright, Ive already activated the limit standard. Currently, from my perspective, time is moving incredibly slowly. Hence, in order to ensure everyone can understand what I say, I am doing my best to control the speed of my speech.
While Chen Yu was saying so, he utilized his unique method of flipping pages when using the quantum glasses to locate page 225. After pausing on the page for roughly five seconds, he then closed the book and removed the glasses.
OK, Ive memorized everything. The poem was quite complex, so it took me a little more time than expected to memorize it entirely. Dont mind the details.
After making an OK sign, Chen Yu faced the camera and took out a long strip of cloth to cover the eyeholes of his mask. He then rapidly recited, Starting from the first line: The good things in the world are not strong. They are fragile and can be shattered easily
[Damn! Youre amazing, brother!]
[Dont tell me he actually memorized the entire thing?]
[Sorry for interrupting.]
[OHHH! FFFF! Crap! Amazing!]
[You should win an award for your acting.]
[I nearly believed you. (???)]
[Stop showing off. How much is it? Ill buy it, alright?]
Eventually, Chen Yu finished reciting the last verse of the poem. He then removed the cloth covering his eyes and snapped his fingers as he said, Page 225. The whole poem contains over 500 words. I shouldve gotten every single word.
After saying so, he opened up page 225 once more and turned it toward the camera, adding, Everyone can take a look and see whether I recited incorrectly or not.
Three seconds later, he moved the book away and crossed his two index fingers before the camera. In a pretentious and satisfied tone, he then said, I know that some of you think that I am putting on an act. It doesnt matter. Actions speak louder than words. If one book isnt enough to prove it, then Ill use two, three, or even four books. You guys cant possibly think Ive memorized every one of these books beforehand, right?
Chen Yu then picked up the dice and rolled them on the review table once more.
Roll
Two.
Three.
Three.
Two, three, and three. Sum them up, and we get eight. In that case, lets pick the eighth book, Chen Yu said. He then counted down the stack of books and picked out the eighth one. Showing the book to the camera, he continued, Mr. Yus April 3rd Incident. This is a very thick book. I can even kill someone if I drop it from the top of a building. You cant possibly think Ive memorized this entire book, right?
After saying so, he rolled the three dice once more.
Roll
From the lowest number to the highest: one, five, and six.
Next, its time to witness a miracle once more.
After wearing the quantum glasses and picking up the April 3rd Incident, Chen Yu quickly flipped to page 156. Within one second, he slammed the book shut and removed the quantum glasses. He then blindfolded himself with the long strip of cloth once more.
Did you know? Bai Xue said. Without realizing it, Han Sheng had actually arrived at her front door. According to Han Sheng, on a certain day two years ago, he had seen Bai Xue tumbling out of this same door in a hurry, just like how she came tumbling out now
While Bai Xues room was exquisite, it was not as tidy as Han Shengs room. He sat on the chair
When Bai Xue decided to open up and tell Han Sheng everything, it was Han Sheng who ended up getting surprised instead.
After reciting the last word, Chen Yu excitedly removed the cloth covering his eyes before looking at the camera and asking, Am I amazing, or not?!
[Amazing!]
[How did you do it?]
[I was surprised!]
[Truthfully, your way of acting is getting really annoying.]
[The Brain welcomes you.][1]
[This UP is amazing. Subscribed.]
Like before, Chen Yu held up the April 3rd Incident and displayed the contents of page 156 to the camera for three seconds. He then moved the book away and said, Next up, the third book.
Roll
Three, three, and four. Add them together, and we get ten. The tenth book.
Grabbing the tenth book from the stack, Chen Yu joyfully displayed the books cover to the camera as he said, This is the fifth edition of the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary. I doubt anyone would think Ive memorized this whole thing, right?
After saying so, Chen Yu went straight to rolling the dice once more.
Two, four, and five. Page 245.
Wearing the quantum glasses with the reading mode set to limit standard, Chen Yu spent two seconds to memorize the entire page.
Snoring: <> Snore.[1]
Skid: noun, 1. a reduction in the movement of a pulley or other mechanism due to slipping of the belt, rope, etc. verb, 2. to move obliquely or sideways, usually in an uncontrolled manner.

Masturbate: verb
[Amazing! (I present my first-ever bullet comment to you, UP.)]
[This show is going to blow up!]
[Im impressed! Im really convinced now!]
[I want all information on this guy within one minute!]
After Chen Yu finished reciting, he flipped to the Contemporary Chinese Dictionarys page 225 and showed its contents to the camera.
Sure enough, he did not miss out a single word!
Logically, I should proceed to another book. However, due to the Contemporary Chinese Dictionarys extraordinary thickness, just reciting one page shouldnt be sufficiently convincing. Hence, Ill recite another page to prove the Quantum Reading Glassess ability, Chen Yu said. He then picked up the three dice and rolled them again.
Roll
Its three, three, and six this time. Page 336. I know. Im certain that there will be people accusing me of tampering with the dice. In that case, Ill randomly add a number to this value. For this random number, lets use my watchs second hand. The time is currently
Inside the video, Chen Yu took a look at the time on his watch and said, The second hand is currently at 47. Lets add 47 to 336, then. The sum is Hold on, let me calculate it
He started twiddling his fingers. After some time had passed, he raised his head and said, The total is 383. Let me read page 383, then. Next up, its time to witness the fourth miracle occurring!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, he wore the quantum glasses and flipped to the dictionarys page 383. This time, he spent only one second to memorize the entire page.
Plan: noun, 1. program (for action, etc.); 2. proposal; proposed bill.
Convenient: adjective, 1. fitting in well with a persons needs, activities, and plans. verb, 2. to help out; to make things easy for people; convenience; suitable; having money to spareverb, 5. (euphemism) to go to the toilet.

[Due to my lack of culture, all I can say iscrap.]
[Crap!]
[Crap! +1]
[Crap! +2]
[Crap! +3]
[Amazing!]
[Amazing! +1]
[Amazing! +2]
A bunch of bullet comments flooded the screen as Chen Yu recited the contents of page 383.
After flawlessly reciting the page, he removed his blindfold and gave a summary to the camera.
Alright. Its about time for me to end todays review. Firstly, I would like to thank the Great Light Company for providing me with this technological product today. I would also like to thank you, my fellow viewers, for your support. I also swear that all the earnings from my videos will be donated to charity. So, please like, share, donate, and subscribe! Next Monday, I will bring you an even more exciting product.
Also, I would like to use this opportunity to make an announcement. Starting with the fifth episode, Transdimensional Review will switch to livestreaming mode. At that time, there will be technological products that will truly shock everyone! And I will conduct real-time reviews of these products! Be there or be square!
After Chen Yu finished the last line of his advertisement, the video fell into darkness.
At the same time, inside an unlisted apartment unit in Beijing
After the middle-aged man seated at the head of the table turned off Chen Yus video, he remained silent for a long time before saying in a husky voice, It seems theres going to be big trouble.

Chapter 37 C Third Product Application
Liao Province, Jinzhou City, inside an internet cafe located close to Sixth High
Chen Yu exited Bilibilis platform after his video finished playing.
Regarding the Quantum Reading Glassess review, overall, he felt that its quality was passable. The part where he memorized and recited books was especially good.
While the video wasnt as exciting as the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratorys review video, this was due to the products characteristics. It had nothing to do with his reviewing standards.
In fact, in Chen Yus opinion, his eloquence, adaptability, and scripting had all seen growth.
He opened WeChat and tapped into his chat interface with the Transdimensional Marketing staff. After pondering for a brief moment, he started typing rapidly.
[Chen Yu: How is the quality of the latest video?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its very excellent. Reviewing these glasses isnt an easy task. The fact that you are able to achieve such promotional effects is already wonderful, Mr. Chen. According to our monitoring results, Bilibilis editors have already manually recommended this video. You should see rapid growth in the videos statistics soon.]
[Chen Yu: Is it possible for me to break 50,000 subscribers?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That will be difficult to accomplish with just two episodes.]
[Chen Yu: Alright. Have you thought of what product to apply for me for the third episode?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Our team is currently researching this. Do you have any suggestions, Mr. Chen? Do you have a type of product you wish to review?]
Chen Yu frowned involuntarily as he started pondering this question.
[Chen Yu: Can you get me a product thats a little more mainstream?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: For example?]
[Chen Yu: Smartphones, computers, and the like, but with extremely powerful performance. Something that can make the viewers jaws drop in shock. Can you apply for something like that for me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We will try, but we cannot guarantee that it will be a phone or computer.]
[Chen Yu: Nice! Ill be troubling you with that, then!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is my duty to serve you, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Sure, sure.]
You must work hard! Chen Yu muttered, pressing his palms together in prayer. He then put away his phone and wore the quantum glasses again to continue studying the middle school textbook before him.
However, after flipping through a few pages, Chen Yu suddenly removed the quantum glasses as he came to realize something.
An internet cafe is a public place. If I read books while wearing these glasses, wont I attract other peoples attention very easily? What if someone here just so happens to have watched my video? Wont my identity be uncovered immediately?
At this point, Chen Yus complexion started darkening. He hurriedly stored the Quantum Reading Glasses into his bag and sneaked a glance at the internet cafes surveillance cameras. He then stood up to leave the cafe.
Internet cafes usually deleted their surveillance data periodically to free up space. An internet cafe with poor finances would generally refresh their data once every few days. However, internet cafes that were willing to splurge might store their data for two weeks or even an entire month!
Argh! I cant believe I made such a low-level mistake!
After walking out of the internet cafe, Chen Yu could not help scratching his head irritably as he looked at the hasty passersby and vehicles before him. He then took out his phone, and his thumbs were soon rapidly tapping on the screen.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, I am always here. If you have any questions, you can ask straightaway. No need to ask if I am in or not.]
[Chen Yu: Oh, understood. I have something I wish to ask.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Go ahead.]
[Chen Yu: I used the Quantum Reading Glasses in an internet cafe just now, and the cafe had surveillance cameras. Those cameras mustve recorded my entry. Im afraid this will lead to my identity getting exposed. Do you have a way to help me delete the data of those cameras?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, without permission, we cannot delete public records. This is against the law. We cannot help you with this.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, we really cannot help you with this.]
[Chen Yu: Then, let me ask you a second question.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please ask away.]
[Chen Yu: How greatly will your team be affected if our contract gets dissolved?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Well be greatly affected!]
[Chen Yu: Will you be affected on a personal level as well?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Of course! My work performance will be damaged. Moreover, it will take me time to find another suitable partner. The company might even fire me as a result.]
[Chen Yu: Wonderful, then.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ?]
[Chen Yu: Lets return to the first question. If you cant help me delete those records, I wont dare continue making videos. After all, in the off chance that the government comes knocking on my front door, Ill be in great danger. Hence, lets temporarily halt our partnership here.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please dont joke around.]
[Chen Yu: Im not joking. You simply dont understand how wonderful my countrys interrogation system is.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, you win. I will help you delete those surveillance records.]
[Chen Yu: Didnt you say casually deleting public records is illegal?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Casually deleting public records is naturally against the law. However, the Earth Alliances Privacy Law also states that citizens who do not wish to have themselves be photographed or recorded in a video are allowed to erase their figures from those records.]
[Chen Yu: So, youre saying that the video will still exist, but my existence inside the video will be removed?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is correct.]
[Chen Yu: Wonderful. Please do that for me.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please send me the internet cafes detailed address. Our team will wipe out all records of you from the cafes hardware.]
After raising his phone, Chen Yu took a picture of the internet cafe and sent it over.
[Chen Yu: I dont know the detailed address. Will this picture work?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The deletion is complete. You can rest assured now, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: That fast? Youre not tricking me, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We are living in different space-times. We spent over 20 minutes sweeping through all the recorded data from the internet cafe. However, we only need to time the message we send you to arrive a second after our last conversation when notifying you. Our team operates on integrity. We will not deceive our collaborators. I repeat! We operate on integrity! We will not deceive our collaborators!]
Upon seeing this message, Chen Yu could not help a little embarrassment. He could clearly sense the contempt in the other partys words.
[Chen Yu: The problem this time is my fault. Ill be careful in the future. I owe you a favor for today.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: (ޣߣ)]
[Chen Yu: What do you like? Ill give you some local souvenirs. I heard that natural water is a precious resource on your side? How about I splurge a little and send you a bucket of tap water?]

[Chen Yu: If one bucket isnt enough, Ill add another bucket. Two buckets of tap water!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, thats too expensive. You dont have to spend that kind of money.]
[Chen Yu: No need to be polite. With our relationship, whats there to be concerned about a little money? Its fine so long as youre happy.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thank you for your kind gesture. I am very happy.]
[Chen Yu: Once I get back home tonight, open up a space-time wormhole, and Ill send the water over. Ill let you have your fill.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You really dont need to do that, Mr. Chen. The mass of the universe cannot be changed. The water resource in your space-time belongs to your universes matter. We cannot obtain it.]
[Chen Yu: Huh? Isnt that strange, then? Why can you send all those things over to me, yet I cant send anything to you? Moreover, didnt I send the Uranium-235 Laboratory back to you before?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: This involves very complex knowledge. To summarize, the products I sent you through the Transdimensional Express isnt the original product. Instead, it is a new product formed from matter in your space-time.]
[Chen Yu: Im a little lost.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: To put it in simpler terms, lets use an example. Im on Mars and youre on Earth. If I wish to deliver a knife to you, I would have a very difficult time doing so. To solve this problem, I can just manipulate Earths machinery from Mars to create the knife. That would save me a lot of trouble. Do you understand now?]
[Chen Yu: So, thats the case! I understand now. In other words, the products you delivered to me are actually created using the elements of my space-time! Meanwhile, the so-called wormhole is something like a cloning machine that copies the items found on your side and reproduces them here.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, you are entirely correct! Hence, if you deliver water to me, when it arrives on my side, its intrinsic nature will become that of synthetic water again. Moreover, it will be synthetic water of inferior quality.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Truthfully, natural water is only valuable because of its rarity. When consumed, it hardly tastes any different from synthetic water.]
[Chen Yu: Since thats the case, Ill just owe you a favor for now. If theres an opportunity in the future, Ill bring you to go drink natural water. Whether it is the Yellow River, the Ganges River, or the Nile River, you can drink from whichever you want.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I prefer to drink spring water.]
[Chen Yu: There are plenty of spring waters as well. Theres the Longjing Spring, Baotu Spring, and Huhai Spring. You can drink from whichever spring you want.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. I will eagerly await that days arrival. May I know if you have any other matters, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: Nope. Goodbye.]
After saying goodbye, Chen Yu exited WeChat and pocketed his phone. He then turned to look at the internet cafe and breathed out a sigh of relief.
Todays negligence had given him a powerful wakeup call.
At this point, he was no longer an ordinary person. To avoid getting into trouble, he needed to be extremely careful in his actions.
Where should I go next?
If he wished to study using the Quantum Reading Glasses, he definitely couldnt visit a public location. He also couldnt return home. In that case, he had only one place leftschool.
The small forest in front of the schools sports field burgeoned with vegetation. If he hid there, he definitely wouldnt be found by anybody.
With a plan in mind, Chen Yu started making his way toward Sixth High without hesitation.
Five minutes later, he arrived at Sixth High. However, instead of entering through the main entrance, he climbed over a fence and hid inside the schools little forest.
At this time, Niu Lanshan and Class 2s form teacher just so happened to walk out of the schools main entrance.
Youll search east, Ill search west. Well catch that little bastard no matter what, Niu Lanshan said to the form teacher with anger in his eyes. Is his phone still off?
At Niu Lanshans question, the form teacher pulled out his phone and gave Chen Yu a call. A moment later, he shook his head and said, Its still off.
Move out!
At Niu Lanshans command, the two teachers split up and took independent action, intent on searching every internet cafe in the city in order to locate Chen Yu.
Little bastard While walking, Niu Lanshan clenched his fist and swore, Youd best not let me catch you! Otherwise
While Chen Yu studied tirelessly, time passed quickly.
With the Quantum Reading Glassess assistance, he managed to finish studying the five main subjects available for middle schoolers in just half a day. While he still wasnt at the level of a top student in middle school, if he were given a chance to retake the high school entrance examination, he was confident he could enter a slightly above average high school without trouble.
Truthfully, from what Chen Yu could tell, middle school knowledge wasnt particularly difficult to learn. So long as one was willing to put in the effort to study, it was relatively easy to get an average grade. Unless one was born with mental deficiency, the only reason why someone would fail to achieve a passing grade in middle school was that they did not study.
One couldnt study because they were dumb?
Such a thing did not exist.
I feel so wise right now.
Removing the quantum glasses, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of exhaustion and satisfaction. He then stored the quantum glasses and textbooks in his bag before standing up and leaving the forest.
It was currently lunch break. After having a bowl of ramen in a restaurant outside of school, Chen Yu made his way back to the classroom of Class 2-2. He then sat on his seat and started snoozing.
Using the quantum glasses to study put a very heavy burden on his spirit. Meanwhile, the only way for him to recover from this kind of exhaustion was by sleeping.
Crap! Brother Chen, youre back?!
Just as Chen Yu was about to drift into dreamland, a startled voice entered his ears and woke him up.
Lifting his head in a daze, Chen Yu noticed that the culprit was Li Liang.
After a brief moment of silence, Chen Yu took out a broken table leg from his desk compartment and sent it smacking at Li Liangs bald head.
However, Li Liang reacted quickly and gave Chen Yu a bear hug, begging, Brother Chen, I was wrong! Dont hit me!
This is the second time youve woken me.
I was wrong.
Do you dare do it again?
No! I wont do it again! Im very cowardly, Li Liang said as he frantically shook his head, the light reflecting off his head seeming to brighten up the classroom by quite a bit. However, you really are courageous, Brother Chen.
Rubbing his tired eyes, Chen Yu put down the table leg and asked, How so?
Dont you know that our classs form teacher left the school to search the various internet cafes for you? He says hes going to skin you alive if he catches you.
Oh. Chen Yu nodded blankly in response.
Arent you afraid?
Why should I be? Chen Yu said as he sent Li Liang a look of contempt. Baldie, let me tell you. As students, we dont need to be afraid and submissive. So what if they catch me? If they have the ability to do so, lets see them expel me!
Chen Yus words shocked Li Liang.
You dont know just how high my position in school is right now. Even the principal is covering for me. Im not boasting to you. Just look at how many times Ive skipped class recently. What can the form teacher do to me?
Upon hearing this, Li Liang started retreating fearfully away from Chen Yu.
Just look at your frightened face. How is that befitting of that bald head of yours? Regardless, Ive been finding our form teacher to be an eyesore recently. Hes been constantly targeting me like a loon. Once I graduate, Ill be sure to give him a pleasant sur
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a palm land on his shoulder.
Immediately, Chen Yus body shuddered involuntarily. He then stiffly turned his head around.
In the next moment, the figures of his form teacher, Niu Lanshan, Principal Pang, and his biological mother entered his vision. Currently, all four of them were staring at him with unblinking eyes.
Slowly turning his head back, Chen Yu quietly dug his phone out of his pocket and rapidly dialed the emergency medical services number 120.
Hello? Is there an open bed in the nearby hospital? Is the WiFi there fast?

On Saturday, at seven in the morning, Chen Yu was awakened by the ringing of his phones alarm.
Ugh
After waking up, Chen Yu wearily reached out and grabbed his phone from under his pillow, then turned off the alarm. His eyes remained squinted as he waited for his consciousness to come online.
The Quantum Reading Glasses placed a truly huge burden on its users mental faculties. As a result, Chen Yu was always short of sleep.
However, after studying arduously for five days straight, he had managed to learn over half of the knowledge in his high school textbooks. Although he would still be considered an academically failing student in any other high school, in the mysterious Sixth High, he should have no problem ranking above average among the entire student body.
After lying in bed half-asleep for several minutes, Chen Yu got up and changed out of his pajamas. He then walked out of his room to wash up in the bathroom. When he exited his room, he immediately came across Chen Yike packing her backpack in the living room.
Huh? Eldest, youre up already?
Mhm! Chen Yike nodded while tucking a sun hat into her backpack. My class is heading to Erlong Mountain for a tour today. Were setting off at eight, so Im preparing in advance.
Oh. Chen Yu nodded in understanding. After washing up in the bathroom, he walked up to Chen Yike and evaluated her attire. Frowning, he said, That skirts so short you might as well be wearing nothing.
Lowering her head to look at her light-blue skirt, Chen Yike said, Its not short! It covers up to my knees!
It doesnt matter what you wear at home. It doesnt even matter if your dress only covers up to your thighs. However, you cannot go out like this! Change to a longer skirt! Chen Yu said sternly.
His little sister was so beautiful. How could he possibly let outsiders look at her?!
A long skirt is inconvenient for activities! Were going to climb Erlong Mountain today!
Wear pants, then.
Brother!
No means no. Youre just a little teenage girl. Whats the point of wearing such a short skirt? Wear pants, Chen Yu said, fully demonstrating his authority as an elder brother.
Brother! Chen Yike stomped in frustration.
Look! Your skirt lifted as soon as you stomped! There are strong winds outside! Dont tell me you have some special hobbies?! Change!
Chen Yike:
Youre not leaving without changing, Chen Yu said as he crossed his arms, his firm expression showing that he wouldnt give in to Chen Yikes anger. Im telling Mom if you dont change.
Helpless, Chen Yike had no choice but to return to her room and changed into track pants.
Not bad, Chen Yu commented when he saw Chen Yike walk out of her room wearing a long pair of pants. Its much more convenient to move in a pair of pants. The only problem is that the pant legs are too short. Your ankles are exposed. Make sure to wear longer socks afterward.
Are you trying to wrap me into a mummy?!
Paying no heed to Chen Yikes dissatisfaction, Chen Yu walked forward to inspect her face. Immediately, he frowned once more as he exclaimed, Youre actually wearing makeup?!
E-Even makeup is no good?!
Three minutes later, Chen Yu walked out of the bathroom with Chen Yike, who had regained her natural appearance.
Thud!
Turning around, Chen Yike suddenly kicked Chen Yus left foot.
Ouch! Chen Yu cried out in pain as he crouched on the floor.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Ignoring Chen Yus pain, Chen Yike stomped her way to the living room and resumed packing her backpack with an ugly expression on her face.
Cant you switch to another leg when you kick me next time?
Dont talk to me!
Really? Chen Yu asked.
Really!
Youre going to ignore me?
Im ignoring you!
Nodding, Chen Yu took out a 100-yuan note from his pocket and walked up to Chen Yike. He then waved the bill before her eyes as he asked, Do you have enough money for the trip?
After a brief moment of silence, Chen Yike bent her waist and hugged Chen Yus left leg as she said, Big Brother is the best!
Kekekeke Chen Yu laughed evilly at this scene. Take it. Make sure to buy something good to eat.
Big Brother is the best! Chen Yike repeated.
At this time, Chen Yu also felt someone hugging his right leg. Turning his head, he noticed that the culprit was Chen Erke.
Big Brother is the best! Chen Erke said as she tightly hugged Chen Yus right leg, looking at the 100-yuan note in his hand longingly.
Second Eldest, youre still too young.
No! Brother! I want one too!
Youre too young.
Im not too young!
Ill be doing you harm if I give it to you.
Im willing to get harmed by Big Brother.
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu hurriedly took out a five-yuan note and squeezed it into Chen Erkes hand. Ill give this to you. Dont simply spend it.
Hesitantly, Chen Erke said, Its not as big as Big Sisters.
Chen Yu:
Chen Yike:
Ten minutes later, Mother Chen woke up and walked out of her room while yawning. Seeing the three Chen siblings in the living room, she asked in surprise, Why are you all up so early?
My class has activities today, Chen Yike said.
Its my schools monthly test today, Chen Yu answered.
Oh, the monthly test. Nodding, Mother Chen said, Once the monthly test is over, start focusing on sports.
Cant you believe that your son can score within the classs top 25?
Do the students placed 25th and below have diarrhea? Mother Chen wondered.
Fine. Mom, youre really wonderful.
Seven forty-five in the morning.
After finishing breakfast, Chen Yu accompanied Chen Yike to her school.
Make sure to be careful when hiking. Dont go crazy together with your classmates.
I know.
Listen to your teachers. Make sure to follow your teachers wherever they go. Dont get lost.
I know!
Have you brought anything to eat?
I brought some bread and potato chips. Theyll distribute food boxes on the bus.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing his sisters reply. Before parting, he said, No dating. Ill break your leg otherwise.
Chen Yike:
After speaking his mind, Chen Yu parted ways with Chen Yike in front of the latters school. He then made his way toward his school.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu arrived at Sixth High and climbed to the fourth floor in accordance with the test admission card he received previously.
Its just a monthly test. Do they have to make such a huge fuss?
When Chen Yu entered the exam venue, however, he was stunned. Hurriedly, he exited the classroom and took a look at the class sign at the entrance.
Year 3, Class 1 Its correct. Confused, Chen Yu double-checked his admission card. Year 3, Class 1 Its this place.
B-Butwhy is there only one table and one chair inside?!
Inside the large classroom that was over 100 square meters, there was only a single table and chair! No matter how he looked at it, this was definitely a strange scene!
Student Chen Yu, why are you standing at the door?
Suddenly, a womans voice came from behind him.
Hastily turning around, Chen Yu saw that it was his classs English teacher calling him.
Teacher! This Isnt this exam venue a little strange?
Whats strange about it? the English teacher asked quizzically as she looked into the classroom.
Why is there only one table in there? Is everyone going to be taking their tests on the floor?
Its because this classroom was prepared solely for you! the English teacher replied, smiling happily.
Since this exam venue is all yours, theres no need for additional tables.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu took in a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, Demon
Chapter 40
Chapter 40 C Demons of Sixth High (2)
Demon
Smiling happily, the English teacher asked, Are you talking about my physique, Student Chen Yu?
Hah Sighing, Chen Yu entered the classroom and sat on the sole treasured seat. He then asked, Arent you guys going a little too far?
This is the principals instruction. In order to test your true standard, we must not let other students disturb you.
You guys are afraid that Ill cheat, right? Chen Yu stated, exposing the true meaning of his English teachers words.
Mhm, the English teacher admitted without hesitation.
Chen Yu:
The first test is English. Ill be your invigilator, the English teacher said. She then took a look at her wristwatch and continued, Theres still half an hour until the test. Its a little early, so you can sleep for now, Student Chen Yu.
And then oversleep and miss the test?
That would be for the best, the English teacher said, her lips curling up into a wide smile.
The principal had previously declared that whichever subject Chen Yu scored the lowest in, the teacher responsible for teaching him the said subject would receive a bonus!
Hence, for her, it would be for the best if Chen Yu slept straight through his English test and scored a zero.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I wont be sleeping, Teacher, Chen Yu said, smiling. He then set down his bag and pulled out his pen and paper. After readying his exam utensils, he quietly waited for the start of the test.
Having studied arduously for the past half-month, he was confident he could score within his classs top 25 if he fully utilized the knowledge he learned.
Regardless of the situation he was put in, he would not be afraid! Instead, he would smile while facing it!
Student Chen Yu, I need to inspect your utensils, the English teacher said before she snatched up Chen Yus pen and paper and carefully inspected them.
I can guarantee that there are no cheat sheets. You can check them all you want.
Mhm There are indeed none Slightly disappointed, the English teacher returned Chen Yus utensils.
Right. Suddenly thinking of something, Chen Yu asked, Teacher, where are my test papers? Isnt there only half an hour left?
Ah! Exaggeratedly smacking her thigh, the English teacher said, I forgot to bring them!
Crap! Enraged, Chen Yu bellowed, Are you screwing with me?! If I only noticed the missing test papers after the exam started, whats going to happen to my listening questions?!
Ill go grab them right away.
Chen Yu:
After the English teacher left, Chen Yus heart gradually filled with despair as he sat inside the empty classroom.
At this point, he could faintly sense that Sixth Highs bastard teachers were going to toy with him until he was senseless.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yus English teacher returned with his test papers.
Another fifteen minutes later, the English test officially began.
After opening his test papers, Chen Yu first wrote his name at the top of the first page. He then patiently waited for the listening questions to start.
Oooh la la! Pzz Pzz
Suddenly, a fuzzy voice speaking indiscernible English echoed throughout the classroom.
Chen Yu:
Oh, heavens. Clapping her hands, the English teacher said, The PA system in this classroom is actually broken.
In this situation, Chen Yus hand and the pen he gripped started trembling slightly.
Just how terrible did a high school need to be in order to utilize such despicable measures?
Pzz Pzz
Pzz *#&&%
Fa dun dun
The noise continued.
After stabilizing his crumbling spirit, Chen Yu ignored the listening questions and started answering the written part of the examination.
For Chen Yu, it wouldnt affect him much if he missed out on the listening questions marks. After all, he had only been studying books during this period. His listening ability was still sorely lacking. So long as he answered well in the written examination, he would have no problems overtaking Class 2s garbage.
Since Chen Yu had started answering questions, the English teacher walked up to his side without hesitation. She then stared at him without blinking.
After answering a few questions, Chen Yu started feeling uncomfortable under her fixed gaze. Teacher, can you not look at me like that?
Youre the only examinee inside this classroom. Who should I look at if not you?
But you cant just look at me constantly.
You answer your questions. Why bother with what Im doing?
Fine.
Helpless, Chen Yu lowered his head and focused his attention on his test papers.
Scribble Scribble
As Chen Yu rapidly filled in the blanks of his test paper, the English teachers complexion grew increasingly grim.
She knew very clearly what kind of grades Chen Yu originally got. His grades were at the very bottom of his class. He was someone that didnt even know how many letters there were in the English alphabet.
Now, however, no matter how she looked at Chen Yus answers, they did not look like the answers of someone with barely any English knowledge. Aside from a few difficult questions, Chen Yu had basically answered every other question correctly!
My bonus
Suddenly feeling slightly anxious, the English teacher pointed at one of the answer spaces on the test paper and said, Student Chen Yu, you answered this incorrectly!
What are you doing? Chen Yu asked as he looked up skeptically.
Im helping you.
Arent you an invigilator?!
Its fine. Theres just the two of us here. If neither you nor I say a word, nobody will find out.
Theres a surveillance camera there! Chen Yu said as he pointed at the camera above the blackboard.
Ill block it for you! Hurry up and fix your answer.
Teacher Tightening his grip on his ballpoint pen, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Do you think I will believe you? Are you really that kind to help me correct an answer?
Arent I pretty?
What does being pretty have to do with this?! Is your brain functioning properly?! Pushing the English teacher away, Chen Yu said, Ive seen through you already! Youre clearly trying to interrupt my examination! Dont touch me! If you want me to acknowledge our bet, mustnt you first play fairly?!
Thats right. Your words are very much correct.
Then, stop talking to me, OK?
Alright. Teacher will stop talking to you.
I wont speak anymore.
Student Chen Yu, answer your questions properly.
Why are you still speaking?!
Two hours later, Sixth Highs monthly English test finally came to an end. Holding Chen Yus test papers, Chen Yus English teacher dejectedly left the classroom.
Phew
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Chen Yu leaned back in his chair tiredly.
Today, he finally understood the saying of one woman was equivalent to 500 ducks.
Once he started correctly answering his test, his English teacher had never once stopped buzzing by his ears, speaking all sorts of nonsense to affect his thinking process.
Fortunately, his will was firm, and he remained unaffected as he answered every question in the test.
This wont do! I must have a proper talk with the principal! Otherwise, how am I supposed to take the rest of my tests?!
Chen Yu stood up, walked out of the test venue, and dashed toward the principals office, located on the school buildings top floor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Please enter.
Pushing apart the redwood doors, Chen Yu stalked into the principals office after gaining permission.
Oh? Its you, Student Chen Yu. How are your tests coming along? Are you able to adequately exhibit your knowledge? Seeing that it was Chen Yu, Principal Pang smiled as he stood up from his seat.
Principal, dont you think our bet needs to be fair? Chen Yu asked, going straight into the point. Youre using all sorts of means to make me get a bad grade. Im not satisfied with this. At this rate, even if I lose our bet, I wont be willing to learn sports.
Uh What happened?
Im sure you know what exactly happened. I have two conditions. One, give me whatever marks I deserve. Two, do not let the test invigilators interrupt my test! Otherwise, our bet is off!
After saying so, Chen Yu left the office without giving Principal Pang an opportunity to explain himself.
This school is absolute garbage! Just hurry up and dissolve it!
Chen Yu muttered curses while he made his way back to the test venue.
However, shortly after he sat back on his seat, he exploded once more.
***! Wheres my pen?! Who stole my pen?!
Bastards!!!

Chapter 41 C Demons of Sixth High (3)
At noon, Sixth Highs monthly mathematics examination began.
Seated on his throne in his private classroom, Chen Yu received the test papers his math teacher handed him.
Maybe it was under his English teachers suggestion, but there were two invigilators overseeing Chen Yus math test this time. One of them was Class 2-2s mathematics substitute teacher, while the other was the schools Head of Mathematics.
Student Chen Yu, write your name first. You can start answering your test once the bell rings. Chen Yus math teacher gave a friendly reminder while smiling.
Understood. Chen Yu nodded in response. He then brought out his newly bought pen and wrote his name on his test paper before browsing through the test questions.
At this time, the mathematics head brought two chairs over from the next classroom. The mathematics head and Chen Yus math teacher then sat down, flanking Chen Yu.
Chen Yu:
Following which, the math teacher pulled out two big bags of snacks from under his shirt. He then passed one to the math head and said, Chief, heres your share.
Thanks. The math head happily accepted the bag of snacks.
Chen Yu:
Through the translucent plastic bags, Chen Yu could tell that the bags held all kinds of snacks.
There were sunflower seeds, dried fruits, potato chips, shrimp sticks, spicy bars He even noticed a cup of instant noodles in each bag.
Subsequently, the math teacher started staring at Chen Yu.
The math head also started staring intently at Chen Yu.
As for Chen Yu himself, he stared at his desk.
For a time, a strange silence filled the entire exam venue.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The bell signaling the start of the test sounded!
At the same time, all three people inside the classroom went into action. Chen Yu earnestly answered his test papers while the two invigilators tore open their bags and started nibbling on sunflower seeds!
Nibble. Nibble. Nibble
The sound of human teeth cracking open the shell of sunflower seeds spread across the air and entered Chen Yus ears.
Nibble. Nibble
The sound was both crisp and beautiful.
This situation flabbergasted Chen Yu. After pausing on his first question for a moment, he asked indifferently, Isnt it a little unreasonable for the two of you to be doing this?
What is it? With a confused expression, the math teacher countered, Student Chen Yu, do you have a problem?
Do you two think its normal to nibble on sunflower seeds here?
Its like this, Student Chen Yu. Pausing momentarily to push up his glasses, the math head explained righteously, In order to prevent teachers from dozing off from boredom while invigilating an exam, the school permits teachers to eat some snacks during the exam. The teachers in the other exam venues are eating snacks as well.
There are many students in the other exam venues! The invigilating teachers there are also seated far away from the students! You two, on the other hand, are eating right beside my ears!
Oh. Nodding in realization, the math teacher extended his bag of sunflower seeds and asked, So, do you want to eat as well?
Im not talking about this! Chen Yu bellowed. Im saying that your eating here is affecting my test!
Student Chen Yu, there is a problem with your words, said the math head, seated on Chen Yus left. In a logical manner, he continued, How many decibels can we possibly generate from nibbling on sunflower seeds? I doubt its anywhere as loud as your shouting. How could we possibly affect you?
Thats right, thats right, the math teacher, on Chen Yus right, said in agreement. Only by keeping your heart calm can your surroundings become quiet. Student Chen Yu, your heart isnt calm at all. How does this have anything to do with us?
Left side: Is it because the test paper is too difficult? Is that why youre flaring up in anger all of a sudden?
Right side: If you think you cant continue taking the test, the three of us can play landlord[1] instead.
Left side: Good idea. Lets use sunflower seeds as betting chips.
Right side: Student Chen Yu, why are your veins popping up on your forehead? Do you have a headache?
Left side: If youre not feeling well, you dont need to take the test. Its important to take care of your bo
Bang!
Abruptly smashing his fists on his table, Chen Yu bellowed, Stop being noisy! Im taking an exam!
Both the math teacher and math head were startled by Shi Fengs actions. After exchanging glances, they both resumed nibbling on sunflower seeds.
Take the exam if you want. Its not like were stopping you from taking it.
Thats right. Do you have to lose your temper?
Nibble. Nibble. Nibble
Chen Yu:
While surrounded by the noise of shattering sunflower hulls, Chen Yu arduously completed ten questions.
Meanwhile, the two invigilators had also nibbled through their entire stock of sunflower seeds.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu sighed in relief. The crease on his forehead also relaxed slightly.
Immediately afterward, however, the people on his left and right each pulled out a bag of potato chips and opened it. They then proceeded to chew on potato chips fervently.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch
Chen Yu:
Twenty minutes later, the two invigilators finished grazing on their share of potato chips and shrimp sticks. They then switched to munching dried fruits.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch
Chen Yu:
Half an hour later, the stock of dried fruits ran out, and the two invigilators actually proceeded to take out hot water to boil their instant noodles. Once the noodles were cooked, the two invigilators lips started fervently slurping their noodles.
Slurp! Slurp! Slurp
Wiping off some of the hot soup that splattered his face, Chen Yu bellowed angrily, Bastards!!!
Ring Ring Ring Ring
Finally, the bell signaling the end of the math exam sounded.
At this time, the two invigilators had also finished the last bit of their snacks.
As for Chen Yu, he wore a dull look on his face as he gazed at the few challenging questions that he failed to solve.
He had already done his best.
However, the two mouths that had been creating noise nonstop made it truly difficult for him to concentrate.
Oh? Student Chen Yu, not bad, the math teacher commented as he picked up Chen Yus test papers and gave them a quick look. Nodding, he continued, You got so many questions correct. It seems my bonus really is gone.
Dont talk to me, Chen Yu said as he covered his ears. Any sound coming out of your mouths hurts.
At half past two in the afternoon, the Chinese language test began.
The test this time had even more invigilators than before, the total increasing to three.
Out of the three invigilators, one of them was Chen Yus form teacher.
Chen Yu, here are your test papers, the form teacher said as he approached Chen Yu and handed him his test papers. He then pulled out a wireless microphone from his coat.
While receiving his test papers with a stupefied expression on his face, Chen Yu asked, Tea-Teacher, what are you doing?
Im not doing anything, the form teacher said as he tapped on the microphone. He then waved Chen Yu off and said, Dont mind me. Just focus on your test and give it your all.
Five minutes later, the bell rang and the test began.
Before Chen Yu could even move his pen, however, a wave of roadkill singing came from beside him.
My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment! Wherever I go, I have a song for you[2]
Lying like a bow! Standing like a pine tree! Dont move, dont shake, sit like a bell. Walking like a gust of wind[3]
Flowers hearts deeply hidden, I missed seeing it blossom. Your own heart skipped the seasons, you never let people know[4]
After rapidly singing all three songs, the form teacher stored the microphone back into his coat and smiled, saying, I wanted to give you some encouragement. Now that Im done encouraging you, you must properly exhibit your potential!
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu took in a deep breath as he suppressed the rage in his heart. However, when he tried answering his test questions, he found that the lyrics of the three poisonous melodies had hijacked his mind, and the songs were playing in an endless loop in his head.
Slap.
Giving his cheeks a powerful clap, Chen Yu desperately tried to focus his mind.
First question. Which of the following doesnt have a typo My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment
Third question. Choose one of the best terms to fill in the blank Lying like a bow! Standing like a pine tree
Fifth question. In Facing the Sea With Spring Blossoms, what did the author depict through the details of his writing Flowers hearts deeply hidden, I missed seeing it blossom
Argh!!! Going crazy, Chen Yu shouted, Stop looping in my mind!!!

Creak
After opening the security door, Chen Yu dragged his exhausted body into his house. Upon entering, he noticed that both his parents were out, with only his three little sisters at home.
Brother, youre back. x3
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu tossed his bag to a corner. He then turned to look at Chen Yike and asked, Youre back from your autumn trip?
Mhm! Chen Yike nodded with a very excited expression.
Did you have fun?
I did! What about you, Brother? Were you happy with your tests?
Yes, Im extremely happy
Saying so, Chen Yu slowly shuffled toward his room. Carry on doing your own things and dont disturb me. I want to be alone.
After returning to his room, Chen Yu locked the door and lay on his bed in a daze. Although he shut his eyes and tried to sleep, he could not do so, no matter what.
The reason for this was the lyrics My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment! Wherever I go, I have a song for you still playing ceaselessly in his head.
Seeing as sleep had no plans of visiting him, Chen Yu decided to do something else to divert his attention. With this intent, he sat up in his bed and grabbed his laptop to check on his Bilibili accounts latest statistics.
The first review video on the Nuclear Energy Laboratory had already exceeded 800,000 views. The donations, saves, and shares the video received were also extremely high.
As for the second review video on the Quantum Reading Glasses, with the promotion of Bilibilis editors and the support of his subscribers, the video had already garnered over 300,000 views!
The number of private messages he received from subscribers had also skyrocketed, with the majority asking what kind of product he would be revealing on his third review. Interestingly enough, there was also a minority of messages asking whether he would like to review their products.
In addition to these messages, he had also received three private messages of support and encouragement from Bilibilis representatives.
At this point, Chen Yu could already be considered the most well-regarded up-and-coming uploader on Bilibilis website.
After briefly browsing through the messages, he exited Bilibilis platform and opened his profile on the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal, his gaze hardening with resolve as he did so.
This was the data he was most concerned about.
[Name: Chen Yu]
[Access Level[1]: E (Prohibited from Worldwide Livestreaming)]
[Subscribers: 18,664]
[Main Target: Complete at least two of four missions. Target achieved. (2/2)]
[Additional Target: Complete at least three of four missions. (2/3)]
[Mission 1: Reach (472,793/500) viewers and (18,664/50) subscribers on the first advertisement. Mission complete.]
[Mission 2: Reach (472,793/5,000) viewers and (18,664/500) subscribers on the second advertisement. Mission complete.]
I already have over 400,000 subscribers on Bilibili, yet the Transdimensional Marketing Company only acknowledges about 18,000 of them Chen Yu frowned when he saw the numbers in his profile. I have over 470,000 acknowledged viewers, yet less than 20,000 of them are acknowledged as true subscribers. Do my review videos lack something?
Even after giving the matter some thought, Chen Yu failed to reach a conclusion on his own. He then pulled out his phone and sent a short message through WeChat.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, if you have something to say, please just say it. No need to ask if I am here or not.]
[Chen Yu: Oh. I want to ask you something. My videos currently have over 470,000 acknowledged viewers, yet less than 20,000 of them are subscribers. Isnt this ratio a little low? Its much worse than the 10-to-1 ratio at the beginning. Is it because of my videos quality?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There is indeed a problem. Although your review videos are good, the products you are reviewing arent actually considered advanced technology. It is very difficult for you to attract the viewers hearts. Moreover, in my companys system, only those that are extremely fond of your videos are considered a subscriber, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: In that case, I understand. The third product will be delivered at nine tomorrow morning, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Correct. Please patiently await its arrival.]
[Chen Yu: Can you let me know what it is in advance?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is not allowed, Mr. Chen. Please patiently await its arrival.]
[Chen Yu: Alright, then. Hopefully, its a better product this time.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu set his phone aside and lay back on his bed for a nap.
Theyre not going to loop in my brain again this time, right?
As soon as Chen Yu thought so, the drug-like melodies started assaulting his mind once more, the lyrics of the songs flooding every neuron in his brain
My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment
Lying like a bow! Standing like a pine tree
Flowers hearts deeply hidden, I missed seeing it blossom
Save me!!!
At eight in the morning, the next day, Chen Yu left his home with his bag and made his way to Sixth High.
He still had two more tests to take todaybiology and chemistry.
Once he finished these two papers, his monthly examination would officially be over.
After arriving at the fourth-floor exam venue that belonged solely to him, Chen Yu took his seat and waited for the biology test to start.
Shortly after he sat down, the invigilating teachers arrived. Their number had also increased from three to four.
Of the four invigilators, one held a small gong, one held a bongo, one held an erhu, and the last held a suona[2].
Giving himself a facepalm, Chen Yu asked, Are you guys here to invigilate or take part in an arts exam?
Isnt our school holding an autumn sports festival soon? Well be performing as one of the shows there. Since we have time now, we might as well use it to practice.
Pa!
Clapping his palms together, Chen Yu prayed, Dear gods, can you not choose to practice in an exam venue? I still need to take a test! Have some humanity!
Well be quiet when playing. Well make sure we wont disturb you.
How quiet can those things in your hands possibly get?! You guys better not go too far!
At Chen Yus words, the four invigilators turned to look at each other. They then simultaneously looked at Chen Yu and asked, Can we negotiate?
No! I want to take my test! Dont disturb me!
Damn these bunch of bastards!
Thenfine. Shrugging helplessly, Chen Yus biology teacher said, We wont practice.
Thank you. Chen Yu nearly genuflected when he heard the teachers answer.
If were not going to practice, why do we need so many people here? one of the teachers wondered. He then suggested, Should we play mahjong?
Well still disturb Student Chen Yu if we play mahjong, Chen Yus biology teacher said before exiting the classroom. He returned with a stereo shortly afterward and said, Lets disco.
Scram! Chen Yu bellowed.
An hour and a half later, the biology examination came to an end.
At 10 A.M. sharp, the chemistry examination began.
The teacher invigilating Chen Yus test this time was a bespectacled woman, the head of Sixth Highs chemistry department.
When she entered the room, she held Chen Yus test papers in one hand and a cloth bag in the other.
Hello, student. Here are your test papers, the chemistry teacher said.
Suspiciously receiving the test papers, Chen Yu carefully evaluated the chemistry teacher before asking hesitantly, Youre alone?
Thats right. How many people do you need to invigilate one examinee?
Youre not going to interrupt me?
I dont have that much free time, the chemistry teacher said, clicking her tongue. Holding up her cloth bag, she continued, I dont care about that little bonus. Just take your test properly. I can use this free time to do my own work.
Upon hearing the chemistry teachers words, Chen Yu nearly broke down in tears as he said, Teacher! You truly are the savior of Sixth High!
Stop spouting nonsense and take your test. No cheating.
I definitely wont! Chen Yu said as he patted his chest. Teacher, you busy yourself with your own work while I focus on my test! I definitely wont let you worry.
Sure.
The chemistry teacher smiled and nodded. Afterward, she opened up her cloth bag and started pulling out beakers, measuring bottles, droppers, nitric acid, alcohol, mercury, potassium nitrate, high-concentration sulfuric acid, and various other chemicals and placed them on Chen Yus table one after another.
Chen Yu:
By the time Chen Yu arrived back home, he had already thrown the matter of his test results to the back of his mind. He only felt fortunate to have returned alive today.
Once Im rich, the first thing Ill do is flatten Sixth High! Damnit!
After tossing his bag aside and briefly greeting his three little sisters, Chen Yu returned to his own room and locked the door. When he saw the big, white box sitting in the middle of his room, he finally revealed his first smile of the day.
His third review product had arrived.
Chapter 43
Chapter 43 C Third Review Product (2)
With hurried steps, Chen Yu walked forward and sat down before the box. He then used his fingernail to slit the sealing tape and opened the box. After doing so, however, he noticed a smaller box nested inside.
After taking the small box out, he cut through its sealing tape and opened it, only to discover an even smaller rectangular box inside.
Chen Yu:
Once he had extracted the latest box, he tore off the film wrapped around it before opening it. Fortunately, no more boxes greeted him this time.
Located at the top of the box was something that looked like a finger cot. The finger cot was coated entirely in gold, and its build was exquisite. Holding it in his hand, Chen Yu found that the finger cot was quite heavy and solid.
This little thing is the third review product?
After toying with the finger cot for a while, Chen Yu grabbed the instruction manual inside the box and earnestly read through it.
A minute later, he put down the instruction manual with a skeptical look on his face.
This What is this thing?
According to the instruction manual, the product this time was called Golden Middle Finger. A product of the year 2035, it was commonly referred to as the Golden Finger. It was meant to be worn on a humans middle finger, and it allowed its user to exhibit a very strong effect.
The original description went:
Pa!
Tossing the instruction manual on the ground, Chen Yu cursed, Why does something like this even exist?!
He pulled out his phone and dashed off a WeChat message to Transdimensional Marketings staff.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please stop asking if I am present or not. I am always present.]
[Chen Yu: The Golden Finger you sent me is the third review videos product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is correct, Mr. Chen. Are you satisfied with it?]
[Chen Yu: Lets set aside my satisfaction first. I want to know what exactly this thing is for.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Isnt it written on the instruction manual already? Its meant for friendly head-flicking between friends.]
[Chen Yu: Are you sure its meant for friends and not enemies?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Um It can also be used for self-protection.]
[Chen Yu: Are there no other functions?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You can also use it to play instruments.]
[Chen Yu: Anything else?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, what are you trying to say?]
[Chen Yu: Forget it. Its nothing. However, I asked you to get me something mainstream like a smartphone or computer, yet you sent me this skull-cracker. Does it look mainstream to you?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, this Golden Finger is very mainstream. Both men and women, elderly and young, require it. In fact, it remains a very popular product even in the 24th century.]
[Chen Yu: Fine. Ill believe whatever you say.]
After exiting WeChat and setting aside his phone, Chen Yu started fiddling with the exquisite finger cot once more.
Upon closer scrutiny, Chen Yu noticed three buttons on each side of the finger cot.
The buttons on the left were labeled Power 1, Power 2, and Power 3.
The buttons on the right were labeled Speed 1, Speed 2, and Speed 3.
The functions of the buttons were exactly as their names implied, no additional thought required.
It feels smooth to the touch. Its soft, yet hard at the same time. I wonder what material it is made of.
After fiddling with the finger cot for a moment, Chen Yu carefully slid the Golden Middle Finger onto his middle finger. He then pressed a power button, on the finger cots left side.
Bzz
Along with the appearance of a small electric current, Chen Yu felt his entire middle finger go numb.
Standing up, he took in his surroundings. Failing to find something he could conveniently use as a test subject, he took off his jeans and pulled out his old and tattered belt buckle. He then raised his middle finger and aimed it at the steel buckle of the belt before flicking it.
Swoosh!
A strong gust of wind immediately howled throughout the room. Following it, a golden streak of light smashed into the steel buckle!
Ding!
Following a loud metal ringing, a section of the steel buckle caved in.
Holy Tossing away his belt buckle, Chen Yu stared at the Golden Finger in a daze. Is this thing really meant for flicking heads?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, knocking came from the door, and Chen Yikes voice came from beyond it.
Brother! What happened?! What was that sound just now?!
Snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu turned around and shouted, Nothing happened! Ignore it!
Brother, you can talk to me if youre stressed. Dont
Scram!
A moment later, the outside of Chen Yus room became silent.
Breathing out a sigh, Chen Yu resumed researching the Golden Finger.
He had already experimented with the first playing method. The Golden Finger indeed provided extraordinary strength to its user. It was so effective that it could even be used to arm soldiers.
Next up would be to experiment with the second playing method.
Sitting on his bed, Chen Yu raised his middle finger and pressed the first right button.
Speed 1.
Bzz
The instant Chen Yu pressed the button, the Golden Finger quivered, its vibration speed accelerating as time passed. In no time at all, his middle finger was vibrating at a rate of 10 times per second!
Brrr
Moving his middle finger close to his face, Chen Yu could feel a light breeze blowing at him.
His eyes glowing with excitement, he immediately pressed the Speed 2 button!
Brrr!
His finger started vibrating even faster! Its motions were so fast that it was leaving behind afterimages!
Meanwhile, throughout this process, his finger surprisingly did not feel uncomfortable or tired. This was because the finger cot was the one rapidly vibrating. The finger inside it moved at a much slower rate.
Amazing
Chen Yu was pleasantly surprised by this situation.
Looking at the Golden Finger, he could faintly discern the true method of using it. Naturally, it was meant for competitive gaming!
Who could possibly match the speed of his finger?
Who could possibly beat him in terms of control?
If combined with the Quantum Reading Glasses, he could easily annihilate his opponents!
Kekeke It turns out this thing is actually so amazing.
After clicking the power button once more, Chen Yu removed the Golden Finger and returned it into the box. At this point, he had a vague plan for how to conduct the third episodes review.
The program would definitely turn out well!
The only problem was that the method he had in mind would cause quite a commotion. He definitely couldnt do the review at home.
Ugh
Maybe its time to rent a house to use as a studio. Doing reviews at home is simply too inconvenient.
But renting a house will cost a lot of money. I dont have enough cash on hand to support it for long. I should also consider earning some money.
Having decided on what he needed to do, Chen Yu packed the Golden Finger, his laptop and camera, clothes, mask, and other work instruments into his bag. He then pushed open his rooms door and walked out.
Upon spotting Chen Yu about to leave the house, Chen Erke, who had been drawing in the living room, came running over and asked, Brother! Where are you going?
Im going out for a while. Ill be back at night. Where are Eldest and Third Eldest?
Little Sis ran out of milk, so Big Sis took her out to buy some. Brother, where are you going? I want to go too.
Im going to school. You cant follow me. Just be good and stay at home.
After casually making up an excuse, Chen Yu left the house carrying his bag.
Meanwhile, Chen Erke remained standing in a daze. Biting her index finger, she muttered to herself, Should I go and tell Big Brother thathe forgot to wear pants?
Chapter 44
Chapter 44 C Third Review Product (3)
After toiling for nearly three hours, Chen Yu finally rented a standalone warehouse far from the city center.
The warehouse he rented used to serve as storage for fruits for a nearby market. However, after the citys urban renewal and the removal of open-air markets, the warehouse lost its business. Despite the owner lowering the rent time after time, interest in the warehouse remained nonexistent.
As a result, Chen Yu managed to rent the warehouse for three months with just 1,800 yuan.
Finally, I can loosen my limbs! Ah! How wonderful!
Standing inside the empty warehouse, Chen Yu gave his surroundings a brief look, then picked up the broom and mop he recently purchased and started cleaning.
Truthfully, he had been too careless during the previous two product reviews. There were simply too many items inside his room that were unrelated to his review. From his wallpaper to his floorboard, all these things could betray his identity.
Hence, he planned to set up a proper studio this time to ensure as little information about his identity leaked as possible.
Roughly twenty minutes later, Chen Yu finished cleaning the warehouse. After shutting the warehouse door and locking it from the inside, he then started earnestly decorating his review studio.
Firstly, he worked on covering up the dull-gray walls.
Secondly, he patched together a wooden table.
Afterward, he was done.
Clap! Clap!
Clapping the dust off his hands, Chen Yu revealed a smile as he said, Everythings complete! I can finally start the review.
After saying so, he dug through his backpack and pulled out his laptop, camera, pen, paper, mask, and the star of todays reviewthe Golden Finger.
He set up his camera and spent 10 minutes writing up a script and memorizing it. He then placed the script beside the camera so he could peek at it, in case he forgot his lines.
With two product reviews under his belt, he had already learned plenty of speech techniques.
He definitely wouldnt allow the awkward speech from the last review to happen again. He would focus on introducing the product and avoid making unnecessary comments as much as possible.
Not to mention, with the fifth product review, he would switch to livestreaming his reviews. Running his mouth off would only put his identity at risk.
Lets begin, then. Brr This warehouse is a little too cold. My feet are practically frozen already.
After putting on the coat and mask he usually wore for his reviews, Chen Yu verified that he had all the tools he needed for this review before pressing his cameras capture button. He then sat before the wooden table he made.
Greetings, fellow friends and viewers! Welcome to Transdimensional Reviews third episode! I am very grateful for all the support everyone has given me! The product I have brought to you all this time is
The review lasted for an hour.
After reciting his final line, Chen Yu stood up and turned off the camera. He then gave his body a stretch.
Removing the Golden Finger, he gently caressed its smooth, golden surface before carefully placing it back in its box.
For some reason, he had a feeling that he would have a use for this magical product one day.
After transferring the data from his camera to his laptop, Chen Yu stored them both in his backpack. As there was no internet inside the warehouse, he planned to edit and upload the video once he got back home.
Creak
Upon opening the warehouse door, Chen Yu noticed that the sky had started darkening already.
He pulled out his phone and checked the time, then decided not to tarry any longer. After locking up the warehouse, he jogged to the main street and hailed a taxi.
Jumping into the passenger seat, Chen Yu said, Master, to Lanhe District.
Got it. Nodding, the middle-aged taxi driver stepped on the accelerator.
Leaning back in his seat and looking at the passing scenery through his window, Chen Yu grumbled, Master, dont you think the weather is getting colder these days? Its just autumn, yet its already so cold.
Oh With a glance at the boxers Chen Yu was wearing, the taxi driver nodded and said, Uh, yes The weather is getting colder.
As soon as Chen Yu walked through the door, he smelled the savory scent of cooked meat. Making his way into the kitchen, he noticed that the dining table was actually filled with various fragrant dishes.
Why the feast? Whats the occasion?
Without even glancing at Chen Yu, Mother Chen, who was busy stir-frying lean meat with leeks, replied, Arent you going to start training tomorrow? Its to provide you with nutrients.
Are you that certain I wont score within the top 25?
Ha! If you manage to score even within the top 30, Ill eat this wok.
You said it!
I did!
Good. Just you wait.
Chen Yu walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, sending his sisters a glance before continuing to his room. After locking the door, he took out his laptop and started editing his video.
Several minutes later, his video was edited. After watching through it and finding no problems, he adjusted the videos audio frequency and uploaded it to Bilibili for publication at 9 A.M. tomorrow.
The quality of the video this time was very high. Chen Yu could sense that he was one step closer to that [Romantic Partner Simulation Robot] now.
Keke Hehehe.
With his mind filled with sweet thoughts about living with his robot partner, Chen Yu pulled out the Golden Finger and gently caressed it.
Just renting a warehouse isnt enough.
Once I have a girlfriend in the future, I need to have a place to stay, as well.
That will cost even more money.
No matter how many plans his mind generated, all thoughts looped back to the problem of money.
He was poor.
His family was poor too.
His future girlfriend would definitely be a poor bastard, as well. As a man, he needed to think of ways to earn money.
Moreover, he needed to rake in large sums of money over a sustained period.
Simply relying on his basketball shoes to beat the challenges of the various restaurants wasnt a long-term plan. Sooner or later, every restaurant in Jinzhou District would blacklist him. Not to mention, such an action also lowered his self-esteem.
Lets help other companies or independent media edit their videos.
After pondering the matter for some time, Chen Yu concluded that this method was the most reliable.
The Transdimensional Marketing Companys contract only stated that it was illegal for him to generate profits through the sale of review products but not utilizing review products to generate a profit.
Not to mention, his laptops auto-editing software wasnt categorized as a review product.
Having decided this, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and started sending advertisements to several of Bilibilis content creator groups.
First-class professional editor offering paid editing services. Subtitles and soundtracks included. Only editing review videos. No charge for unsatisfactory results. Send me a private message if you are interested.
Less than three seconds after Chen Yu published his advertisement, he had already received feedback!
[You have been removed from the Transdimensional Group.]
Beautiful!
In response to his removal, Chen Yu immediately reported the group to Bilibili.
Reason for reporting: The group is sharing perverted pictures every day! The group is simply filled with human depravity and distorted morals! If not now, when will you shut down such a broken group?
Group number: 826992388
Although his advertisements got him kicked out of a few groups, it didnt take long before he garnered interest from a content creator. After this interested party added Chen Yu as a friend, they immediately went straight into the topic.
[Blooming Clouds: Are you really a professional editor? What are your fees? Do you have any previously edited videos to share as samples?]
[Chen Yu: I do, but you dont need to trouble yourself to watch them. Just send the materials to me. If you find my work unsatisfactory, I wont charge a cent.]
[Blooming Clouds: What big words! I like that! What are your fees, then? What is the benchmark?]
[Chen Yu: Ten yuan per minute. Subtitles and soundtracks included. If you want to add special effects, itll be 1,000 yuan per minute at least.]
[Blooming Clouds: Ten yuan per minute? Subtitles included? Are you sure youre a professional editor?]
[Chen Yu: If I dont meet the standards of a professional editor, Ill pay you instead.]
[Blooming Clouds: Wow! How imposing! I like that! Ill send you the raw footage and finished product from last months video. If your editing standards can match my finished product, Ill give you 20 per minute.]
The other partys words immediately inspired a thought in Chen Yus mind.
[Chen Yu: Going for quality, huh? If the quality of my edited video surpasses yours, how about you give me 30 per minute?]
[Blooming Clouds: No problem! If you have that kind of standard, Ill stop all of my studios edits and commission them to you.]
[Chen Yu: OK, OK. Send it over.]
A few minutes later, Chen Yu received a download link for a file containing over a dozen gigabytes worth of raw footage as well as a link for an edited video.
However, he did not even give the edited video a glance. He immediately downloaded the raw footage.
In the end, it took him well over two hours to download the raw footage.
As for the editing process, it took him only five seconds to produce a fully edited 30-minute video.
Snap!
After uploading the video, Chen Yu joyfully snapped his fingers.
Nine hundred yuan, get! Now, if I can just increase my internet speed Im going to be rich.
Chapter 45
Chapter 45 C Benefits of Studying
By the time Chen Yu finished dinner and returned to his room, it was already seven in the evening.
Feeling that enough time had passed, he sent the download link for the edited video to the other party.
[Chen Yu: Im done editing. Give it a look.]
[Blooming Clouds: That quick?]
[Chen Yu: Why do I feel uncomfortable hearing those words?]
[Blooming Clouds: Im just surprised. Did you properly edit it?]
[Chen Yu: Facts speak louder than words. Comment after youve watched it.]
[Blooming Clouds: Alright, alright. Ill make sure to dispute every little detail.]
[Chen Yu: Sure. But what does dispute mean?]
[Blooming Clouds: ]
Seeing that the other party wasnt answering him, Chen Yu clicked his tongue and copied the word. He then searched for it online and found the answer.
So, thats what it means
Sighing, Chen Yu picked up the Quantum Reading Glasses and a mathematics reference book and started studying.
Studying and results were the foundation of every battle.
If a straight-A student tried taking liberties with a woman, his actions would be called flirting. If a flunkie did the same thing, his actions would be considered an indecent assault. The former would get to live a distinguished and elegant life, while the latter would get to squat in a jail cell.
This world was unfair.
Only by studying well would ones words have authority.
Only by studying well would one be able to do whatever one wanted.
Chen Yu did not seek to do whatever he wanted. He merely wished for his school and family to give up on having him do sports.
Not to mention
As an academic flunkie since childhood, he had also dreamed of entering a famous school.
Now that he had the help of future technology, he naturally needed to grasp this opportunity.
Brr Brr
A little over half an hour later, Chen Yus phone suddenly started vibrating.
Hurriedly removing his glasses, Chen Yu picked up his phone and saw that Blooming Clouds had sent him a voice chat request.
Hehe, moneys here.
Setting down his reference book, Chen Yu connected the call and put his phone to his ear. Hello?
Brother, will your future edits have such standards as well? The gentle and soothing voice of a woman came from his phone.
Youre a woman?
Thats right. I watched the entire video without fast-forwarding. Your editing standards are indeed excellent. If you can maintain such a standard, we can form a long-term partnership.
That wont be a problem. If youre satisfied with the results, send me the 900 yuan first, Chen Yu said. At this moment, his entire head was filled with that 900 yuan.
Alright, alright. Ill send it to you once were done chatting.
Upon hearing the other partys words, Chen Yu promptly disconnected the call, then sent the other party a message.
[Chen Yu: Were done chatting. Give me the money.
[Blooming Clouds: ]
[Notification: Blooming Clouds has transferred 1,000 yuan to you.]
After accepting the money, Chen Yu swiftly returned 100 yuan to the other party.
[Notification: You have transferred 100 yuan to Blooming Clouds.]
[Chen Yu: I take only what I deserve.]
There was a chance of a long-term partnership with this woman, so Chen Yu felt that he needed to establish his image firmly with her. He definitely couldnt let her belittle him and treat him as someone who only had eyes for money.
[Blooming Clouds: Alright. You have principles. Ill give you that. Can we continue our conversation now?]
[Chen Yu: Anytime.]
Brr Brr
Very quickly, Chen Yus phone started vibrating once more. He then accepted the call and said, Hello?
Brother, may I know your name? How should I refer to you in the future? I can see only your pen name on your QQ profile.
Just call me Chen Yu. What about you, little missy?
Judging by your voice, I should be older than you. Call me Big Sis Ying.
Huh?
What?
No-Nothing Chen Yus expression started turning strange after this situation.
Ive seen your edited video, and I feel that its quality is extremely high, so I wish to form a long-term partnership with you. May I know how many minutes you can edit per day on average?
Just send me whatever you have, Chen Yu said generously. Ill take them all.
Are you running an editing studio?
You can think of it that way. In any case, no matter how many videos you send me, I can edit them all to the standard you saw just now.
If thats the case, lets sign a contract. So long as you can edit a certain length of video every day, youre free to set the price.
Chen Yu could not help but frown at these words and asked, Are you trying to become my sugar momma?
???
No need for contracts. Just pay me 30 yuan per minute. Ill edit however many videos you send me.
Chen Yu did not wish to go through that much hassle at all. He was only trying to earn some quick cash to tide him over the short term. Hence, he aimed for small profits but a high turnover. Once he got his hands on more and more advanced technology, the money he earned now would be chump change.
He had always thought of himself as a wise person that had abandoned the consciousness of a small farmer.
He was going to attain great achievements and earn big money in the future.
Once he was successful, why would he waste his precious time earning a trivial sum and even sign a contract for it? This notion was simply laughable.
It was just like the three small gifts he was offered in exchange for returning the Nuclear Energy Laboratory. How capricious would he be to choose the learning circlet? Wasnt it much better to choose the basketball shoes to earn a quick buck and let his family have a good meal?
Once he settled his short-term emergencies, he could simply apply for a stronger learning tool.
Finding his thoughts to be very reasonable, Chen Yu gave the other party no room for negotiations as he said firmly, Thirty yuan per minute. Dont say useless things.
Can you edit a hundred, or even a thousand, minutes? A skeptical voice came from the other end of the phone. Lets sign a contract and cooperate properly. The smaller your studios workload, the greater your profit margin will be. Wont that be great?
No. Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, I have no wish to earn that much money at all. Thirty yuan per minute. Take it or leave it.
Im hanging up and resuming my advertisement if you dont give me an answer.
Mr. Mr. Chen, I wish to ask you, are you certain that there are no problems with your thought process?
Nothings wrong. My logical thinking is quite strong. Just 30 yuan per minute.
Alright. Okay. Great! An anger-filled laugh came from the phone. Lets do as you say. Ill pay you 30 yuan for every minute of edited footage, but you must guarantee the quality.
That wont be a problem. Turning to look at his laptop, Chen Yu said, The quality will be extremely stable, as stable as one plus one equals two.
Good. I have another question. If I have too much raw footage, itll still take you a long time to download everything, even if you have high-speed internet, right? Can I mail you a hard drive?
Sure, Chen Yu answered, nodding. You can even act as a middleman and pick up work from other independent media or companies and pass the work to me. Ill edit everything for you at a price of 30 yuan per minute.
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, the other party was startled and asked, Are you serious?
Of course. I am very serious.
I I dont understand. Why are you doing this?
For the horde.
Huh?
To save myself trouble. Do you have any other questions?
No.
Good. May we have a pleasant cooperation.
Ye-Yes May we have a pleasant cooperation
After disconnecting the call, Chen Yu was finally unable to suppress the excitement in his heart any longer as he jumped up in joy and did a fist pump.
I wont get eliminated anymore this year!
Chapter 46
Chapter 46 C Review Begins!
After his excitement subsided, Chen Yu lay on his bed and took out his phone. He then visited Tmalls platform and went on a shopping frenzy.
Now that he had money, he naturally had to spend it. This was one of the good qualities of the new generations teenagers. They promoted consumption and raised the countrys GDP. Depending on the scale, their actions could go from improving the quality of individual life to strengthening the countrys soft power and promoting market prosperity!
Although Chen Yu had yet to receive the big money he was going to be earning, with the support of Alipay, his urge to serve the country blazed high!
Wow! Alipay raised the amount I can borrow?
Wonderful. Not only did Mr. Ma[1] not extinguish Chen Yus urge to serve, but he had even fanned it instead.
While browsing through the random merchandise displayed in the application, Chen Yu momentarily fell into a daze, at a loss as to what to buy first.
Well Lets buy a new laptop first.
After giving the matter some thought, Chen Yu clicked to the electronics section and bought himself a new laptop.
Half a month ago, he had spent his life savings to purchase the laptop he was currently using. Even so, the laptops specifications were very poor. Altogether, the laptop cost him 2,800 yuan. It was only suited for office work and watching movies. While it could also run Adobe Premiere, it was limited to converting video formats and adjusting audio frequencies, incapable of making or rendering videos.
Hence, in order to ensure he could rapidly import and export videos, Chen Yu decided to purchase a 9,720 yuan gaming laptop!
The gaming laptop he bought had a 9th Generation i7 CPU, an independent 1070 graphics card, a 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a display with a 144 Hz refresh rate.
To reiterate, he was buying this laptop for work. He definitely wasnt buying it to play games on.
He was a high school student that had just become motivated to improve himself. How could he possibly play computer games?
He still had that much patience
Hence
He also purchased a PS4, an Xbox One X, and a Nintendo Switch.
If he was going to play games, he should do so using specialized gaming units.
Oh, I also need a big monitor.
Following which, he bought a curved screen monitor that supported all three gaming units. With this, he had officially become the most disdained existence among gaming circlesa tyrant that dominated three domains!
After purchasing his own things, Chen Yu did not forget to buy something for his family.
For Father Chen, Chen Yu bought a 4,799 yuan Tissot watch.
For Mother Chen, he bought an 8,800 yuan mink velvet coat.
For Chen Sanke, he bought a 639 yuan gold-plated feeding bottle.
For Chen Erke, he bought a Sakura Coupy-Pencil 60-piece set imported from Japan for 725 yuan.
For Chen Yike, he bought ten middle school mathematics exercise books, ten middle school English exercise books, ten middle school Chinese exercise books, and ten middle school biology exercise books for a total of 78 yuan.
A total of 40 exercise books!
He was going to give Chen Yike more presents than the rest of the family combined would receive!
He thoroughly expressed his love and good intentions for his first younger sister.
Hmm
After Chen Yu finished shopping, he turned off his phone and lay on his bed. All of a sudden, though, his body shuddered involuntarily, and his burning passion instantly cooled down.
What have I just done?
The next day, the Chen family crowded inside the kitchen and ate breakfast.
Aside from Chen Sanke, who was eating while dozing off, everyone else was relatively energetic.
Chen Yu, will your school be announcing the test results today? Mother Chen asked as she looked at Chen Yu.
No. Shaking his head and grabbing himself a piece of vegetable, Chen Yu said, It should be announced on Tuesday.
Your principal gave me a call last night.
What did he say? Chen Yu asked, frowning.
He told me to persuade you to train properly. He says that the national youth sprinting competition will be held soon. Hes afraid you wont get a good result if you start training too late.
Im not going. Ill only be satisfied after Ive seen the results.
Although Chen Yu said so, he had zero intentions of fulfilling his side of the bargain. It didnt matter even if his test results failed to hit the mark.
He had already thought of a backup plan in the event that he lost the bet. He would simply run without the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes. If even after he had done that, Sixth High still managed to turn a peasant like himself into a national athlete, then he would admit defeat.
After chewing on his food for some time, Chen Yu felt that the timing now was just right. Setting down his chopsticks and clearing his throat, he said, Everyone.
However, despite Chen Yus actions, Father Chen, Chen Yike, Chen Erke, and Chen Sanke showed no response whatsoever. It was as if they did not hear him at all.
Everyone! Chen Yu raised his voice and lightly tapped the table.
Lifting his head, Father Chen asked while chewing, Are you full?
No. In a loud voice, Chen Yu proclaimed, I have something to announce.
Nom Chen Yike turned to look at Chen Yu.
Nom Nom Chen Erke and Chen Sanke also turned to look at him.
Nom Nom Mother Chen and Father Chen also fixed their gazes on Chen Yu while chewing their food.
Chen Yu:
Looking at this scene, Chen Yu suddenly thought of a herd of alpacas eating grass.
That After sorting out the words in his mind, he said solemnly, I found a job.
You found a job? Mother Chen repeated.
Before Mother Chen could ask further, Father Chen frowned and interrupted her, asking, A job? Are you planning on dropping out?
Of course not. This job can be done part-time. I can use it to earn some spending money.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After stretching her throat to swallow her food, Mother Chen smacked the dining table and exclaimed, Are you itching for another beating? Youre a student! A part-time job? Do you think the family is so broke that we need you to earn money for us? Stop worrying about unnecessary things and focus on learning sports from your school.
I dont wish to work, either, Chen Yu said, shrugging. However, this job pays quite a lot, so I wish to earn some money for my little sisters.
Wow! After being momentarily stunned by Chen Yus words, Chen Yike decisively raised her thumb and said, Big Brother, good job!
Chen Erke similarly raised her thumb and said, Big Brother, good job!
Big Brother, goodcough cough Although Chen Sanke tried mimicking her elder sisters, she choked on her food after speaking just three words.
Good?! Whats so good about it?! Mother Chen shouted at her three daughters in dissatisfaction. She then returned her gaze to Chen Yu and said, You definitely wont earn much from a part-time job. If you wish to work part-time, wait until you enter university. At that time, you can do whatever work you want. I wont even care who you work for or where you work.
But this is a good opportunity to earn money!
Earn money? Hahaha
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, Mother Chen and Father Chen exchanged glances before simultaneously sneering. Mother Chen then asked, Do you think its so easy to earn money? If its that easy, why wouldnt your father and I do so?
I really can earn a lot!
How much can you earn, then?
I can earn several thousand yuan a day.
Just honestly go to school and stop thinking about those crooked ways. What can you do with several thou Mother Chens voice gradually faded as she spoke. She then looked at Chen Yu with a stunned expression as she stuttered like a broken recorder, Sa Sa Sa Sa
Sasasasa? Chen Yu sang along tentatively.
Sa Sa Sa Sa
Sasasasa?
By the time Chen Yu left the house, it was already half past eight in the morning.
He was late for school.
However, in order to trick his parents flawlessly, he had no choice but to invest time and words into the endeavor.
In the lie he constructed, he described himself as a prodigy in video editing. He said that he had accepted work from multiple entertainment studios; hence, so long as he worked hard and completed the assigned tasks, he would be able to earn a generous income.
Since both his parents were ignorant about video editing and production, he didnt have to worry about them seeing through his lie.
As for the reason why he had taken the initiative to mention this video editing gig to his family, it was to have a convenient explanation for the massive wealth he would gain in the future so that he could reasonably help out with his familys financial situation.
After arriving at school, Chen Yu hid in the forest by the school field as usual and waited for 9 A.M. He then visited Bilibilis platform and started searching for his review video under the technology section.
Three minutes later, he located the video titled Transdimensional Review! Golden Finger from the future!
Sure enough, as soon as he played the video, rows of bullet comments started speeding across the black screen.
[First!]
[Which one of my sons are you people?]
[First!]
[Second]
Chapter 47
Chapter 47 C Review Ends
[First!]
[Viewer 23.]
[Selling peanuts, sunflower seeds, and douhua in the front row.]
[Grandpa! The UP youre paying attention to has a new update!]
[Leaving my mark here before this video becomes popular.]
[Like first, watch later.]
[Im eager to see what kind of insane product the UP is going to reveal this time.]
After around a dozen comments flowed by, light appeared in the black screen, and Chen Yus masked face appeared on the screen.
Greetings, fellow friends and viewers!
In the video, Chen Yu was holding a small, rectangular box. Waving at the camera, he continued, Welcome to Transdimensional Reviews third episode! I am very grateful for all the support everyone has given me! The product I have brought to you all this time is
The Golden Finger!
Tapping his index finger on the box, Chen Yu said, This is a very special product with diverse functions. It is produced by the Handicraft Company in the year 2035in other words, 15 years from now. Everyone watching this video will have the fortune of purchasing this product within your lifetime. Alright, Ill dispense with the nonsense. Lets begin todays review!
Good! If I fail to buy it 15 years later, Ill sue you for false advertising.]
[The Golden Finger? Is it used inside toilets? ( ????)]
[Unboxing! Unboxing complete! Proceed to the review introduction!]
First, lets start with the unboxing. Pulling off the boxs lid, Chen Yu retrieved the golden finger cot inside the box and said, Unboxing complete! Now, lets proceed to the next topicreview introduction.
Holding the finger cot, Chen Yu did a 360-degree display of it to the camera. He then continued, Everyone should be able to clearly see the external appearance of this product. I can only use one word to describe this thingexquisite! It is truly exquisite. From the outside, you cant see any joints. It looks as if it is one organic whole! Moreover, it is also unknown as to what material this Golden Finger is made of. It is soft yet hard, hard yet elastic. It feels extremely good to the touch.
[WTF?]
[What a terrible description]
[Just call a spade a spade. Regardless, this finger cot indeed looks very beautiful.]
[So, just what is this Golden Finger used for?]
After displaying the Golden Middle Finger to the camera, Chen Yu wore it on his right middle finger. Adjusting his mask slightly, he said, I believe everyone should have already noticed that each side of the finger cot has three buttons wrapped in special material. The buttons on the left represent power, while the right buttons represent speed! Each mode has three gears, the performance of the Golden Finger increasing with each subsequent gear.
Next up, I will be reviewing the Golden Middle Fingers first function! The flick of friendship!
After saying so, Chen Yu bent down and retrieved a wooden block from beneath the table. He then waved the wooden block at the camera and said, It is a normal interaction for close friends to flick each other in the forehead. Forehead flicking can increase the sense of closeness between friends, and it also helps alleviate the dullness of gatherings. Hence, the Golden Middle Fingers first main function is to flick foreheads. Fifteen years in the future, this Golden Finger is an indispensable tool for card games, truth or dare, and many other activities.
While speaking, Chen Yu pressed down on the first left button. After feeling a numbing sensation in his middle finger, he aimed at the wooden block and sent a powerful flick at it.
Bang!
Crack!
The wooden block instantly fractured, and half of it flew out of camera range
[???]
[?????]
[??]
Good. Lets test the Golden Finger on this next.
After tossing away the remaining half of the wooden block he held, Chen Yu took out a thick and sturdy fire brick from under the table. He then pressed the Power 2 button and sent a flick at the brick.
Boom!
The Golden Finger moved at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. There was only a loud sound before the brick broke into two.
[?????]
[Crap]
[???]
Lastly, lets try the finger on this.
After tossing away the remaining half of the brick, Chen Yu reached under the table once more and grabbed a steel rod as thick as a childs wrist. He then pressed the Power 3 button.
Bzz
The instant Chen Yu pressed the button, the audible sound of electric current flowing came from the Golden Finger.
Wow! I can feel my middle finger brimming with strength!
As soon as Chen Yu said so, he flicked at the steel rod ruthlessly!
Ding!
The instant the loud metallic clang sounded, the massive force from the impact made Chen Yu lose his grip on the steel rod. The steel rod flew straight out of his hand and smashed into the review table, creating a deep scar.
Hiss
Chen Yu hurriedly retracted his left hand in pain and relaxed only after seeing that his palm was fine. He then bent down to pick up the steel rod that had bounced off to the floor and showed the rod to the camera.
Unlike before, the thick steel rod was now bent.
As I had released my grip partway, the Golden Finger was not able to display its full strength. Otherwise, this steel rod wouldve snapped directly in half.
Clang.
Tossing away the steel rod, Chen Yu pointed the Golden Finger at the camera and asked, Well? Is everyone satisfied with the function of this product? It is truly a godlike tool for head-flicking!
[Godlike head-flicking tool (No)! Close friend exterminator (Yes)!
[Im shocked! Are these special effects?]
[Godly head-popper!]
[Wonderful! Im going to buy one and join the war]
[The finger part of an exoskeleton.]
[Thanos takes off the Infinity Gauntlet in embarrassment]
[I just wish to know how the UP managed to get his hands on such a thing. Did he make it himself?]
[Itachi: Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time]
[I recommend using it to flick naughty children]
After a wave of bullet comments passed by, Chen Yus figure on the screen turned his body slightly and revealed the Golden Fingers right side to the camera. He then explained, Flicking foreheads is only one of the Golden Fingers functions. It still has another function that is equally great, and that is its speed function.
Like the power function, the speed function has three gears. In the first gear, the finger cot will vibrate ten times per second!
After Chen Yu pressed the first right button, the Golden Finger immediately started vibrating at an extremely high speed.
Next up, the second gear. One hundred vibrations per second!
Brr
The instant Chen Yu pressed the second button, the Golden Finger accelerated, vibrating like a phantom. The sound of wind was clearly audible.
With this function, whether you are playing instruments or participating in e-sports, you can achieve more with less! You can even use this function to turn the Golden Finger into a drill!
[Amazing! I am truly convinced! Only a true lunatic would create such an item!]
[Wow! I seem to have discovered its true purpose!]
[Why do I feel that things are developing in a wrong direction]
[Is my screen becoming yellow?][1]
[I get you!]
[What an outstanding recommendation!]
[You guys continue watching. Im heading out for a bit. My dominant arm is feeling a little itchy.]
[I finished]
Lastly, the third gear! One thousand vibrations per second!
Brr!!
A strong wind started roaring as soon as Chen Yu pressed the third button. Under the dynamic vision of humans, the rapidly vibrating Golden Finger actually transformed into a solid, golden plate!
[Crap! Crap! Crap!]
[????]
[Will the UPs middle finger get crippled?]
[A dog is robbing your video! UP, kill him now!]
[This abomination is meant for Gods]
[Quickly save this loon.]
[Am I the only one that thinks that this thing can be used to tease cats?]
[I suspect youre an old driver]
After displaying the Golden Fingers speed function for a bit longer, Chen Yu powered it off and put it back into its box. Clasping his hands together, he then looked at the camera and said, Alright, the Golden Middle Fingers review ends here.
Thank you, Handicraft Company, for supplying this technological product to me. Of course, I would also like to thank you for the support youve shown me, fellow viewers. Also, also, forgive me for being presumptuous, but I hope everyone can share my videos and bring my videos to the attention of many others. This is very important to me. This concerns whether I can have more and better technological products to share with everyone.
Next week, I will be reviewing my fourth product on this channel. This will also be the last product for my newcomer period. Lets meet again next Monday. Goodbye!
After Chen Yu finished speaking, the screen darkened, and numerous bullet comments flew across it.
The video was over.
Chapter 48
Chapter 48 C Trouble Is Here
Seeing the video come to an end, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief before exiting Bilibilis platform.
The video was 15 minutes long. From its upload until now, the number of views it accumulated had already exceeded 20,000.
Moreover, based on the audiences bullet comments, the quality of the review video this time seemed to be very high. How many more new subscribers he would gain from this video would now depend on how Bilibili advertised his video for him.
Raising his head, Chen Yu checked the empty schoolyard before him. After pondering for some time, he entered WeChat and sent a message to Transdimensional Marketings female staff.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I beg of you, Mr. Chen, please stop asking whether Im here or not.]
[Chen Yu: Sure. I want to ask you something.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please ask away, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Next weeks episode is going to be the last. Will my subscriber count break the 50,000 threshold?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its possible. The chances are very high.]
[Chen Yu: Can you give me a more precise answer? How high is the percentage?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The market is not mathematics. It is very difficult for me to give you a precise percentage. I can only say that your chances are very high.]
[Chen Yu: Alright, then. For next weeks review, try to get me something spectacular that will cause a sensation on Bilibili.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please rest assured, Mr. Chen. Our goals are aligned. Our team will strive hard to apply for a good product for you. However, as you are still in your probation period, we can apply for only small and ordinary products. Oh, right, theres still one small problem. Ill use this opportunity to tell you, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: A small problem? What is it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: At 10:37 P.M. last night, Bilibilis platform attempted to block your account and remove your videos.]
Block?
Startled by this situation, Chen Yu hurriedly asked a question.
[Chen Yu: They blocked me? Why?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We dont know the exact reason, but through our teams analysis, it is very likely that Bilibili received orders from a higher regulatory authority to remove your videos and block your account.]
Higher regulatory authority
Chen Yu frowned at these words. Very quickly, he realized something.
[Chen Yu: Is it because of the first episodes Nuclear Energy Laboratory? That thing contained illegal materials. Did they decide to block my account because they couldnt locate my person for now?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We are not sure, but isnt it very normal for children to construct toy nuclear bombs at home as a puzzle game?]
Chen Yu no longer had the energy to retort to those words.
[Chen Yu: Youre talking about making a nuclear bomb at home! How is that normal?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Wouldnt everything have been fine if you had just publicized your identity back then? You wouldnt have these problems now if you had done so.]
[Chen Yu: Big Sis, are we on the same page? Can you align your thoughts with mine? If I had publicized my identity back then, I mightve already been dissected by now! OK?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its not certain that youd meet such a tragic end. At most, youd be imprisoned and closely observed.]
[Chen Yu: Stop saying unnecessary things. How did my account recover after that?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Bilibili failed to block your account.]
[Chen Yu: ?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, your review videos represent the benefits of Transdimensional Marketing Company and the various products respective companies. We definitely will not tolerate your account getting blocked. Any acts that serve to harm our legal benefits will not be allowed to succeed. Hence, whether it is on Bilibilis platform or other media platforms, none have the authority to prohibit you from publishing your review articles, updates, videos, and livestreams.]
[Chen Yu: Tyrannical]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Hence, I said this was only a small problem. You do not need to worry about this, Mr. Chen. You can just proceed with your work as usual. The Transdimensional Marketing Company will deal with any external forces that try to interfere with your work.]
[Chen Yu: Mighty]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Moreover, due to Bilibilis platform violating the Earth Alliances Unfair Competition Law, as compensation to our company, we now have the authority to utilize a portion of Bilibilis resources to promote your videos manually without notice. Your third review video has now been pushed to Bilibilis front page.]
[Chen Yu: Amazing]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, do you still have any questions?]
[Chen Yu: None. Lets chat some other time.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen. Goodbye.]
After exiting WeChat, Chen Yu opened Bilibilis app on his phone, and sure enough, he saw his video on the apps front page!
Nice! This assist is truly beautiful! With this, it seems my odds of reaching 50,000 subscribers are truly great.
At the same time
Sichuan City, Beicheng Technology Park, Bilibilis headquarters, seventh-floor technology department:
Director Yu, Transdimensional Reviews video has been recommended to the front page, reported a programmer with dark circles under his eyes as he approached Director Yu.
Who pushed it there?! Didnt the operation side get the notice?! Director Yu shouted angrily upon hearing the programmers words.
Op-Operations said that we were the ones that did it.
Bullshit!
But the operations department guarantees that they werent the ones that pinned it to the front page. The programmer suggested hesitantly, Ma-Maybe that Transdimensional Review is the one that pinned it there.
Director Yu fell silent upon hearing his subordinates conjecture, feeling stifled by some unknown dread.
He wasnt afraid that he would be fired for failing to ban Transdimensional Reviews account. Rather, he was afraid of Transdimensional Reviews programming skills.
Transdimensional Reviews videos were stored on their servers.
Transdimensional Reviews account held only common user rights.
Nevertheless, they actually couldnt block this account and delete its videos!
They had tried deleting the relevant resource files numerous times. They had even restarted their servers. However, no matter what they did, they failed to delete any content relating to Transdimensional Reviews account.
In fact, they couldnt even delete the comments left by viewers on Transdimensional Reviews videos.
This was no longer something that could be explained with skills.
Everything they had witnessed thoroughly shattered their views as programmers.
Currently, the shock Director Yu felt in this situation was no different from what an ordinary person might feel if one were to go into outer space only to find out that Earth was being carried on an elephants back.
When he thought back to the content of Transdimensional Reviews past two episodes and the technology departments analysis reports on those videos, he could not help a sense of insecurity and fear.
Di-Director, what should we do now?
Send someone to report the latest progress to President Zhang. Well continue deleting!
Weve tried deleting the account and videos several hundred times already. Its useless.
Then, prevent all user accounts from searching for Transdimensional Reviews account!
We tried that before; its no use.
What else can we do, then?! Tell me! Director Yu bellowed in rage.
Shuddering slightly, the programmer lowered his head before turning around and leaving.
Hah Breathing out a deep sigh, Director Yu shut his eyes and covered his face with both his hands.
Maybe
Maybe all of this is real
Meanwhile, over at Jinzhou Citys train station, a row of five people alighted from a high-speed train and made their way to a hidden office via the train stations internal staff passage.
Hah
The leader of the five was a middle-aged man. After he finished watching Transdimensional Reviews third episode on his phone, he breathed out a heavy sigh.
By analyzing the natural light source in the previous videos, as well as the UPs accent, we have narrowed his location to Jinzhou. Does anyone have anything to add for the following search operation? the middle-aged man asked.
In response, the sole female on the team flipped open the documents in her hands and said, Im sure everyone has seen the psychological profile already, so I wont repeat it. Based on current information, we have determined that the target is no more than 20 years of age. The studios background, his attire, as well as his posture and actions, all indicate that his family conditions are average. During the second video, the books used were old and of low standards. This also goes to prove that the targets educational standard isnt excellent. Going by these points, we should start our search from Jinzhou Citys several third-rate high schools.
Chapter 49
Chapter 49 C Sixth Highs Most Outstanding Student
The monthly tests results are out. I will now announce the class ranking.
On Tuesday, at 9:30 A.M., Class 2-2s form teacher stood on the lectern with a sullen look on his face. Patting the name list in his hand, he said, Disappointing. You all have truly disappointed me. You all are the worst students I have taught! You have shamed your families!
Seated in a corner of the classroom, Chen Yu could not help getting elated at this situation.
Judging by his form teachers indignant expression, Chen Yu could easily tell that the results of his monthly test this time put him within the top 25 of the class. Otherwise, his form teacher would be as happy as a lark after receiving the bonus pay from his failure.
I already told you the topics that would be tested before the monthly examination, yet you still failed to answer the questions! Were all of you reincarnated from huskies?!
Chen Yu shook his head as he listened to his form teachers curses, feeling that his form teachers words were excessive for a high school teacher.
While huskies indeed possessed low intelligence, they were at least handsome.
Good-for-nothings! the form teacher cursed one last time before shutting his eyes and taking a deep breath. After calming himself, he raised the name list and gnashed his teeth as he said, First place, Zhen Congming[1], 334 marks.
Damn it! As soon as the form teacher spoke, a boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who was seated at the frontmost row of the class, regretfully hammered his table. I didnt get a perfect score again!
Sending a sidelong glance at the bespectacled boy, the form teacher said, A perfect score is 650.
Thats right. What a shame, the student named Zhen Congming said. Pushing up his spectacles in an arrogant and frustrated manner, he asked, Teacher, whats my ranking in the whole school?
Seventy-seven.
Thats fine, then. I entered the top 100. At least I brought honor to the class.
Why, thank you**, on behalf of the whole class.
Thats not necessary. Im only doing what I should do as a member of the study committee.
Rolling his eyes at Zhen Congmings words, the form teacher proceeded to the second entry on the name list. Upon seeing this name, however, he immediately felt as if he had just swallowed a fly.
Se-Second place, Chen Yu, 333 marks.
The instant he called this name, the entire class fell silent.
As for Chen Yu, he pointed at himself in a daze and asked, Me?
You. Giving his own face a powerful rub, the form teacher said, Second place.
Chen Yu:
The form teacher: We have underestimated your learning ability.
Chen Yu: No! I overestimated their learning ability!
This class is truly terrible!
I can totally empathize with you now. Truly
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Two seconds after the bell signifying the end of class rang, a group of students had Chen Yus seat surrounded.
Chen Yu! Amazing!
Crap! Number two in class! How did you do it?
You actually overtook our classs study goddess?
You got into the schools top 100! Treat us to some spicy bars!
At the shock and excitement on his classmates faces, Chen Yu started having the misconception that he was indeed amazing.
Sofrom now on, Im a top student too?
Brother Chen! Li Liang, who sat in front of Chen Yu, grabbed Chen Yus shoulders and shook him excitedly, asking, How did you do it? You actually got second place in the entire class! Did you cheat?
No, Chen Yu said, spreading his hands. I now know that it is actually so easy to reach the 300-mark threshold.
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, Li Liang and the other students gazed at him with contempt.
Brother Chen, you just became a top student, yet youre already bragging like one?
Chen Yu:
Fellow student Chen Yu.
At this time, a clear voice came from outside the circle of students around Chen Yus table, the owner of the voice being Zhen Congming. Walking up to Chen Yu and pushing his glasses slightly, Zhen Congming said, I never thought that in just one short month, youd already catch up to my pace.
Chen Yu:
There are no shortcuts in learning. I presume you worked hard, with me as your goal, right? You mustve suffered a lot.
Chen Yu:
Diligence can make up for your shortcomings. Your achievement and effort have earned my respect. You have also earned the respect of Class 2s elite study group. Fellow student Chen Yu, I now officially invite you to join Class 2s study group. From now on, we will have another fighting force to help us within Sixth Highs top 100 rankings!
After saying so, Zhen Congming pulled out his phone and opened up his WeChats QR code, then said, Scan me. Ill add you to the group.
Chen Yu felt goosebumps rising all over his body at Zhen Congmings awkward speech. However, he still politely pulled out his phone and added the other partys WeChat. Im very honored.
I didnt give you this honor. You earned it yourself.
Yes, yes, yes.
Although you have achieved good results, you mustnt be arrogant! You have to continue working hard and climb to greater heights!
Yes, yes, yes.
As an outstanding member of the study committee, I feel that I am very successful in being a role model to have inspired your fighting spirit.
Yes, yes, yes.
Now that you have become a good student, stop mingling with those bad classmates. Itll damage your reputation.
Right, right, right.
However, I wont go easy on next months test, Zhen Congming said as he gave his bangs a self-assured flick. Hopefully, there will come a day when you can defeat me. I will be waiting for you at the peak of Mt. Taishan.
Just wait for me in the mortuary
While inwardly slandering the other party, Chen Yu said in good faith, Sure, sure, sure.
Just as Chen Yu was about to breathe out a sigh of relief after Zhen Congming left, he noticed that the students surrounding him were all looking at him as if he was an enemy.
Shuddering, Chen Yu hurriedly picked up his bag and left the classroom. He then dashed to the principals office on the top floor.
Principal! My results are out! Time to make good on your bet
As soon as he pushed open the wooden doors to the principals office, Chen Yu started shouting proudly. However, halfway through his words, he noticed that aside from Principal Pang, there were five other adults inside the office. Stunned, he quickly bowed and apologized, Sorry for the interruption. I didnt know you were having a meeting. Ill leave now. Excuse me.
Chen Yu! Dont go!
When Principal Pang saw that the rude intruder was Chen Yu, his eyes glowed immediately. He stepped forward hurriedly to hold Chen Yu back, then said enthusiastically to his five guests, This student here is Sixth Highs most outstanding student. Specializing in sports, he has hopes of becoming our countrys new track and field champion! Chen Yu, quickly give your greetings. These five here are administrators from Beijing.
He-Hello, administrators.
Chen Yu bowed anxiously to the group of four men and one woman. His gut told him that something was amiss with this group of fivethey were too tempered. They were calm, steady, and confident.
Principal, if there is nothing else, Ill take my leave first. I wont interrupt you if youre busy.
Im not busy. Why have you come looking for me?
My results are out, so I came to have you honor our bet, Chen Yu said, shrugging in delight. Second place in class, and 78th in the entire school. Thats far better than scoring within the top 25 of my class, right? Principal Pang, a bets a bet.
At Chen Yus mention of this matter, Principal Pangs expression instantly turned gloomy. Although he had thought that Chen Yu might score well in the test this time, he had never imagined that the boy would actually get second place in his class! Just what were the students of Class 2 doing?!
Second place in class!
Chen Yus words piqued the interest of the middle-aged man standing at the head of the group of guests. Closely observing Chen Yu, the middle-aged man said, Fellow student, not only do you specialize in sports, but your cultural achievements are excellent as well. Thats not an easy feat to accomplish. Second place in class and 78th place in the entire school? How many marks did you score?
Three hundred thirty-three, Chen Yu answered.
Oh? Thats amazing. What is the full score?
Six hundred fifty.
Everyone:
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man awkwardly scratched his head and said, You ranked 78 in the whole school by scoring 333 out of 650 Hmm Are the tests difficult?
Not at all. The tests this time are much simpler compared to ordinary high school tests. Previously, you could get within the top 50 if you scored over 300 marks.
His lips twitching slightly, the middle-aged man asked, So, your school teaches you how to operate excavators?
At these words, Principal Pang covered his face in shame.
Chapter 50
Chapter 50 C Daily Life
Creak
After opening the security door and entering his house, Chen Yu noticed his mother cooking in the kitchen. Smirking, he walked up to her while carrying his schoolbag and said, Mom, youre cooking?
Yes, Im cooking.
How many pans do we have at home? Chen Yu asked.
Turning to eye Chen Yu skeptically, Mother Chen countered, What are you trying to do?
Im just curious, thats all.
Aside from this wok Im using, we have a saucepan and a steamer. What are you trying to do?
Aside from those, do we have any spare pans?
No. Just what are you trying to say?
Oh, nothing. Whistling, Chen Yu pulled his bags zipper and fished out his five monthly test papers. He then gleefully waved them before Mother Chen and said, Your sons results are out.
Oh? What place did you get starting from the back? Mother Chen asked as she resumed stir-frying vegetables.
Second place in class! Starting from the front! Chen Yu said as he extended two fingers.
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, Mother Chen froze. She then turned around and asked skeptically, Starting from the front? Second place in class?
Thats right. Giving his bangs a swipe, Chen Yu said, My lord mother, its time to keep your promise. Eat this wok.
Did you copy your classs number one?
What copy?! I took the exam alone! I relied entirely on my own abilities! Chen Yu said. Pulling out his phone, he continued, If you dont believe me, call my form teacher and principal and ask them.
At these words, Mother Chen still asked skeptically, Really? You really got second place in class? You?
Youre looking down on your son too much. Putting on an arrogant face, Chen Yu pointed at the steel wok Mother Chen was holding and said, Mom, eat up! Just a bite is fine! You must honor your bets!
In response, Mother Chen picked up the rolling pin lying on the kitchen counter.
Three minutes later, Chen Yu trudged into the living room while holding his swollen ear, his gait making it seem as if he had just disowned all his relatives.
However, despite having received a beating, he was very happy.
Taking a seat on the sofa, Chen Yu said pompously, Eldest, pour me some water.
In response, Chen Yike sent Chen Yu a glance, clicked her tongue, and resumed memorizing the words in her English textbook.
Second Eldest, go pour it for me.
However, Chen Erke did not react even the slightest bit to Chen Yus words, fully focused on her drawing board.
Third Eldest, can you pour a glass of water for me? I dote on you the most.
OK! Nodding her head, Chen Sanke grabbed the empty cup on the tea table and toddled away.
Kekeke. A wide smile on his face, Chen Yu took out his five test papers and slapped them on the tea table, saying, Oh, my results are out.
Chen Yike was still memorizing words.
Chen Erke was still drawing.
My results are very good! Chen Yu said, raising his voice.
Chen Yike changed her reading position.
Chen Erke was still drawing.
I got second place in my entire class! Arent I amazing?!
Chen Yike subconsciously picked her feet and sniffed her finger before she continued memorizing words.
Chen Erke was still drawing.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu bellowed, Cant you guys pay attention to me for a moment?!
Chen Yike was still memorizing words.
Chen Erke was still drawing.
Chen Yu:
Big Brother! Water!
At this time, Chen Sanke returned with a glass full of water and handed it over to Chen Yu.
Grabbing the glass with his left hand, Chen Yu picked up one of his test papers and showed it to Chen Sanke, saying, Third Eldest, look at Big Brothers marks! Isnt it awesome?
Widening her eyes in surprise, Chen Sanke said, Wow! Awesome!
Amazing, right?
Wow! Amazing!
Hahaha! Satisfaction filled Chen Yu immediately upon hearing his little sisters praise. He then took a big gulp of water while patting Chen Sankes head and said, Third Eldest is the best.
Mhm! Chen Sanke nodded her head heavily in response to Chen Yus words. She then asked, But what are marks?
Cough, cough, cough, cough
Chen Yu choked on water and started coughing in agony.
Youcough, cough Doesnt your kindergarten have marks?
Nope.
How are you ranked in your tests?
We see how many red flowers we have. Earnestly evaluating Chen Yus test paper, Chen Sanke scratched her head and asked, Are marks red flowers?
Forget it. Go do your own thing. I dont wish to speak to you anymore.
Sighing, Chen Yu gulped down the water and placed the glass back on the tea table. Shaking away the water that stained his palm, he frowned and asked, Third Eldest, how did you pour the water? The outside of the glass is drenched.
I got it from the toilet bowl.
Chen Yu: ?!!
Chen Yike abruptly lifted her head.
Chen Erke abruptly lifted her head.
I got my hands wet too, Chen Sanke said while raising her wet little hands.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu abruptly got up from his seat and dashed to the toilet before heaving violently.
Blergh! Blergh! Cough, cough Blergh!
Putting down her English textbook, Chen Yike looked at Chen Sanke with a stunned expression on her face as she asked, You Why did you get water from the toilet bowl?
I cant reach the tap! Chen Sanke said as she proudly puffed up her chest and pinched her waist.
Th-Then, when you get water for yourself, do you get it from the toilet bowl too?!
Nonsense! Pouting, Chen Sanke said, No matter how thirsty I am, I wont get water from that place. Its too dirty.
Chen Yike:
Chen Erke:
Blergh!
The heaving sounds coming from the toilet intensified at Chen Sankes words.
Blergh
An hour later, dinner in the Chen family was served.
After pushing open the door to Chen Yus room, Chen Sanke looked at his lifeless body and shouted, Big Brother! Time to eat!
Go away. Pointing his index finger at Chen Sanke, Chen Yu said, I dont want to see you.
But its time to eat.
Im not eating. Go away.
Im sorry. It was my mistake. There wont be a next time.
You think there will be a next time?! Abruptly sitting up in his bed, Chen Yu shouted, Get out! Im not eating!
I I didnt do it on purpose, Chen Sanke said as she lowered her head and played with her fingers in an aggrieved manner.
Not on purpose? You said yourself that the toilet bowls water is Blergh! Dirty! Blergh
Thats why I dont drink it.
Blergh! Go away
Time to eat, Big Brother. Since her words werent working, Chen Sanke walked forward and grabbed Chen Yus ankle with both hands. She then pulled with all her strength.
No! Dont touch m
Thump.
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, he suddenly got dragged to the floor.
Chen Yu:
Time to eat, Big Brother.
Let go of me! Im not eating!
Afraid that he would injure Chen Sanke if he kicked his legs, Chen Yu had no choice but to grab his bed and try to pull himself up. However, before he could climb back onto his bed, Chen Sanke yanked his ankle once more and dragged him a meter away.
Crap! Let go of me!
Time to eat!
S-Stop pulling! Did your DNA get mutated? Why are you so strong?!
Mommy told me to call you to eat. You cant not eat.
Let go! I said, let go!
Two minutes later, Chen Yu found himself seated at the dining table in disheveled clothes, a new bowl and a pair of disposable chopsticks placed before him.
Why did you give me disposable chopsticks?
Sending Chen Yu a glance, Mother Chen answered, We dont have enough chopsticks.
Raising her hand, Chen Erke said, Thats not it! Mom said youre too dirty!
Pointing her chopsticks at Chen Erke, Mother Chen said, Stop running your mouth!
Bang!
Im not eating! Chen Yu stood up furiously from his seat.
Sit down and eat properly! Mother Chen said as she glared at Chen Yu. Didnt you just drink some water fromthat place? Its not like its dirtPfft, hahaha!
Finally, Mother Chen could no longer hold back her laughter.
Chen Yike: Hahahaha!
Chen Erke: Haha!
Father Chen: Hehehe
Chen Sanke: Ha.
Chapter 51
Chapter 51 C 1+1=?
The next day, Wednesday, inside Sixth Highs Class 2-2
Leaning back in his chair, Chen Yu paid full attention to his form teachers class. Occasionally, he would also write and draw things in his notebook.
Brr! Brr, Brr!
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket started vibrating. Upon taking it out, he discovered that Transdimensional Marketings staff had sent him a message.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Congratulations, Mr. Chen! Your true subscriber count has broken past the 30,000 threshold already!]
Chen Yu was stunned when he read the message. After snapping out of his daze, he excitedly typed a reply.
[Chen Yu: 30,000? Did it just break through?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Indeed. Congratulations.]
[Chen Yu: Todays Wednesday. Would it be possible to reach 40,000 by next Monday?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The possibility is very high. The promotional effect of Bilibilis front page is excellent. It is unfortunate that all news, reuploads, and discussions of your videos have been removed from the net. Otherwise, your subscriber count would increase much more quickly.]
[Chen Yu: So, Im being blocked all over the internet?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Basically. As news, reuploads, and discussions hosted on other platforms are not listed under our companys legal income, we cannot prevent this situation from happening. However, it is fine. Once your probation period is over, youll be able to host your livestreams and videos on many more platforms. At that time, the influence external forces have on your performance will weaken.]
[Chen Yu: Ill have to trouble you with that, then.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is no trouble at all. Our interests are aligned. These are all things that I should do.]
[Chen Yu: I am really touched by your diligence. Is the application for the fourth episodes product complete?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We have already started the application process. The product this time is very interesting. You will definitely like it.]
[Chen Yu: Anything is fine so long as I can break through the 50,000 subscriber mark and bring back that girlfriend. (Unsent)]
[Chen Yu: Anything is fine so long as I can break through the 50,000 subscriber mark.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
Exiting WeChat and pocketing his phone, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of satisfaction. He then resumed listening and taking notes of his teachers class.
Now that he had already caught up on all the knowledge he had missed, he no longer had any problems keeping up with classes. Moreover, through his observation, he also faintly sensed that his form teachers teaching standards seemed to be very low.
Ring Ring Ring
Twenty minutes later, the bell signaling the start of recess rang. Putting away his lesson preparation book, the form teacher leaned forward against the lectern and glanced at everyone present before saying, Students, before you leave, I have an announcement.
Thump.
Upon hearing the form teachers words, several male students, who were just about to dash out of class, obediently sat back on their seats.
On Saturday two weeks later, Sixth High will be holding our autumn sports festival. Whether you are an athlete or not, every student must attend. You need to fight and cheer for both our classs and schools honor! Many administrators from the local education ministry will be attending this time! Some administrators from Beijing will also be attending! You all must maintain discipline and show everyone how outstanding Sixth Highs students are!
After the form teacher finished speaking, he fell silent for a moment before adding, Why are you all frozen? Applaud!
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Very good! Class dismissed!
As soon as the form teacher waved his hand, the students promptly dashed out of the classroom one after another.
Chen Yu, dont leave yet. Come here.
Just as Chen Yu was about to leave the classroom to get some fresh air, the form teacher crooked his finger at him.
What is it, Teacher?
Its like this. Due to your monthly examination results this time, Principal Pang is willing to make good on his promise. At the same time, he has also decided that if you can score first place in the school in next months tests, he wont force you to do sports ever again.
First place in the entire school? These words stunned Chen Yu. Isnt the jump a little too big?
In any case, the situation is like this. If you have any objections, bring it up with Principal Pang.
After saying so, the form teacher picked up his textbook and left the classroom.
Of course, Im going to bring it up! Scoring first place is nonsense! Chen Yu grumped as he followed his form teacher out of the classroom. He planned on going to Principal Pang to debate with him right away.
Dont go looking for him now. The principal and faculty head are dining together with the administrators, the form teacher said as he glanced at Chen Yu.
Really?
Why would I trick you? Head there in the afternoon.
At this time, the teacher of Class 2s upcoming mathematics class came walking over and greeted both Chen Yu and Class 2s form teacher. Good afternoon.
Chen Yus eyes glowed as he hurriedly approached his math teacher and asked, Teacher, are you free right now? There are some questions in the previous monthly test that I dont understand. Can you explain them to me?
Hearing Chen Yus words, the mathematics teacher squinted his eyes.
Similarly, the form teacher standing nearby also squinted his eyes.
The two teachers then exchanged glances and subtly nodded at each other, completing a perfect spy-level information exchange.
Alright, no problem. Ill explain whichever question you dont understand right now, the math teacher said while patting his chest.
The final question! I dont understand the logic behind it. After pulling the math teacher to his classrooms lectern, Chen Yu ran to his seat and pulled out his mathematics test paper. He then ran back to the lectern, placed the paper before the teacher, and pointed at the last question, saying, Its this one. I dont understand it.
Oh, this question. The math teacher nodded and frowned.
Right. How should I solve it? Whats the concept behind it?
This question After studying the question for a while, the math teacher shrugged and said, I dont know, either.
?
Its too difficult. None of the teachers in the school know how to solve it.
Then, why did you even put this question in there?! Chen Yu bellowed.
Its because we dont know how to solve it that we put it in there, the math teacher said. Scratching his head, he continued, We wanted to see if there were any students that knew how to solve it. Unfortunately, we found out that the students didnt know, either.
Chen Yu:
Student Chen Yu, dont look at me like that. There are no perfect humans. Even Einstein had problems he didnt know how to solve, right? You shouldnt impose your opinions on others.
Do you think you sound very logical?
In any case, I dont know how to solve it, the math teacher said. Puffing up his chest proudly, he continued, On what basis must teachers know how to solve the questions they give out? Arent the mathematics worlds three major conjectures unsolvable as well?
Chen Yu:
I dont know.
Fine. Fine, fine, fine. Breathing out a deep sigh, Chen Yu nodded and pointed to the second most difficult problem in the test paper and asked, What about this one? Its very difficult, as well. I cant grasp the concept behind it.
This question? After taking a serious look at the question, the math teacher said, I dont know.
You damned
Its too difficult. I think only Sixth Highs top student managed to answer it correctly.
A student managed to answer it, yet you dont know how?
Then, if there are students that know how to dance, why dont you know how to dance too?
Are these two things even related to each other?!
In any case, I dont know how to answer that question.
Fine, fine, fine. You win. After flipping to another page, Chen Yu pointed at a fill-in-the-blank question and asked, What about this one?
Dont know.
This?
I dont know that, either.
This
Oh, I dont know that, either.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu asked, Then, do you know whats 1+1?
At Chen Yus question, the math teachers eyes glowed immediately. He then grabbed a piece of chalk and started frenziedly writing formulas on the blackboard!
[i) 0 is a natural number; ii) Every determined natural number a would have a successor number x. x is also a natural number; iii) if b and c are both as successor numbers, then b = c; iv) 0 is not a successor number of any natural number; v) Let S be a subset of the set of natural numbers, and (1) 0 belongs to S; (2) If n belongs to S, then n also belongs to S.]
[x is not in the range of f; f is an injective; if x A and a A implies f(a) A, then A = x]
[N (Natural Number Set) is not an empty set; there is an aa one-to-one mapping from N to N]
[If the subset P of N contains both non-successive elements and subsequent elements containing each element in the subset, then this subset is equal to N]
[1+1 proves that:
The successor number of 1+1 is a successor number of 1, which is 3,
The successor of 2 is 3.
According to Peano axioms , 1+1=]
Under Chen Yus shocked gaze, the math teacher spent five minutes filling up the entire blackboard with formulas. After pondering for a minute while hugging his shoulders, the math teacher finally wrote a number after the = symbol.
[1+1 = 13,627]
Finally, Chen Yus mouth fell wide open.
Chapter 52
Chapter 52 C Express Delivery! Open Up!
After putting down the chalk and giving his solution a look-through, the math teacher frowned as he said, Although I feel that something is wrong, this should be the correct answer.
To hell with your answer! Chen Yu bellowed. Just say so if you dont want to teach me!
Its unfortunate, but my abilities are limited.
Repressing his urge to smack his test papers into the teachers face, Chen Yu turned around and left.
He was going to go home.
He no longer wished to see any of Sixth Highs teachers.
Every one of them was a bastard.
Picking up his school bag, Chen Yu promptly left the classroom. However, as soon as he left the teaching block, he noticed that a sun had appeared before him.
It was Li Liangs bald head.
Brother Chen, where are you going? Li Liang asked as he approached Chen Yu, his left hand holding a bag of spicy bars and his right hand holding a can of Cola.
Using his hand to block the light reflecting off Li Liangs bald head, Chen Yu said, Stop blinding me.
Want a spicy bar? Li Liang asked.
Thanks. Grabbing himself a spicy bar and stuffing it into his mouth, Chen Yu said, Im heading home first. Take your time eating.
Skipping school? Arent you afraid that the form teacher will find trouble with you?
Im the one that wants to find trouble with him.
Alright, then. Youre the boss. However, if you skip school like this, you might be the next one to get a home visit.
After saying so, Li Liang turned to the teaching block.
Stop! Chen Yu suddenly extended his hand and grabbed Li Liangs bald head. Dont leave yet.
Whats up?
Chen Yu retrieved his hand and frowned at the oil stains on his palm, asking, Your head lets out oil even though youre bald?
Its because Im bald that my head lets out so much oil, alright?
Fine, lets not talk about this for now. What did you say just now, about a home visit?
I think theyre administrators from the education ministry? Those guys came to take a look at my familys situation and asked some questions, Li Liang explained while chewing on a spicy bar. With bulging cheeks, he continued, They definitely wont be visiting just my family. They should be visiting other students too.
These words made Chen Yu nervous. He then asked, How many people are there? What questions did they ask?
Excluding the faculty head, there are four people: three men and one woman. They asked about my family conditions, learning results, whether Im taking extra classes, and whether Im feeling stressed, Li Liang answered. He then continued gleefully, Before they left, they told me not to tell other students about the visit. How can I not talk about it after that? Now, half the school probably knows about the visit.
Chen Yu:
But it seems like they dont really mind. Just now, the faculty head even came looking for me to ask if I was the one that spread the news. However, he didnt even give me any punishment.
Aside from asking you these questions, did they do anything strange?
Strange Licking the oil stains off his fingers, Li Liang pondered for a moment before answering, The only strange part about them is that their eyes arent honest.
Their eyes arent honest? A light flickered in Chen Yus eyes when he heard these words.
Thats right. They looked through the rooms of my house. They didnt even let the toilet off the hook.
Those four people Chen Yu then described the five people he met in the principals office yesterday.
Thats right! Aside from that middle-aged man, everyone else was there.
I understand. I was just asking out of curiosity. Head back to class. The bell already rang.
Okay, okay, Li Liang answered as he disappeared into the teaching block, together with his bald head.
As for Chen Yu, he remained standing in place with a gloomy expression. After some time, he entered the small forest ahead, then jumped over the fence there and made his way home.
While walking, he pulled out his phone and quickly typed a message.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No.]
[Chen Yu: I seem to be in trouble.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: What trouble? Do you need my help?]
[Chen Yu: Yes! My country sent people to Jinzhou to capture me! How did they ascertain my location? I clearly didnt expose anything!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There are plenty of professionals in a strong and prosperous countrys government. Even with very limited information, their analysis can yield many results. It is quite normal for them to discover your location.]
[Chen Yu: Help me chase them away!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im sorry, Mr. Chen. That is something we are incapable of doing.]
[Chen Yu: You have to help me hide my identity!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We have already fulfilled our part of the contract. If your identity still ended up getting exposed, then it must be due to a mistake in your filming. Moreover, we do not have the authority or ability to stop the actions of people in other space-times. If it is a problem in the virtual web, I might be able to help you out a little in a personal capacity.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I wish you good luck. ?]
[Chen Yu: ]
Storing away his phone, Chen Yu quietly hurried his way home.
Roughly 10 minutes later, he arrived back to an empty house.
At this time of day, both Father and Mother Chen were working, while his three younger sisters were in school.
Bang!
The security door slamming shut behind him, Chen Yu walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. He then closed his eyes and sank into deep thought.
Obviously, trouble was coming.
So long as those several administrators searched his home, they would definitely discover some traces inside his room.
What would happen if the country discovered his identity?
Firstly, it was impossible for him to die.
He would never get dissected, either. At most, they would draw some blood to run tests on.
After all, he was a native of the same country. No fellow native would think of harming him.
However, he definitely wouldnt be able to avoid interrogation and observation.
This was also the main reason why he had resisted disclosing his identity to the public back then.
While disclosing his identity might look like it would bring him a lot of benefits, such as an improvement in social standing, he definitely would lose his freedom. Even his familys movements might come under protection and restriction.
At the very least, that was what happened on TV.
VIPs had no freedom or privacy to speak of.
This wont do I must not let them find me
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu gave his face a rub before he pulled out his phone and contacted the saleswoman again.
[Chen Yu: You previously said that the application process for the fourth episodes product is already underway, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats right. Is there a problem?]
[Chen Yu: Im sure you know my current situation. I wish for you to reapply for a new product that I can use for this situation! Its best if it is an advanced technology that can help conceal my identity!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Changing a review product impromptu is very troublesome.]
[Chen Yu: My problem is bigger! Help me change it! Otherwise, were breaking up!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ???]
[Chen Yu: Just tell me if you can help me or not.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is possible to change a review product impromptu, but you should know that even I am unsure what kind of product my superiors will assign to you. The assigned product might not fit your request.]
[Chen Yu: I know, but I cant just sit still and do nothing, right? Just help me apply for a replacement. If I can get through this difficult period, were brothers for life!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen. Our team will begin submitting the replacement application.]
[Chen Yu: Thank you.]
Placing down his phone, Chen Yu breathed out a tired sigh. In the next moment, though, he noticed a drawing on the tea table and instinctively picked it up to take a look.
This was a crayon drawing Chen Erke drew.
There was a total of five people.
In the drawing, Father Chen stood on the leftmost side, Mother Chen on the rightmost side, and Chen Yike, Chen Erke, and Chen Sanke in the middle. Their expressions looked harmonious and content. Chen Yu could clearly feel the happiness flowing out of the drawing.
This. This was his family.
He definitely couldnt let anyone disturb their lives.
After thinking up to this point, Chen Yu gradually regained his calm.
The drawing is nice, but why does it feel like its missing something?
Brr! Brr, brr!
Just then, Chen Yus phone suddenly started vibrating. When he picked it up, he noticed that the caller was an unknown number, which shocked him.
Brr! Brr, brr!
His phone continued vibrating despite his shock.
Tightening his grip on his phone, Chen Yu gnashed his teeth and accepted the call.
Hello? Who is it?
Express delivery! Open up!
Chapter 53
Chapter 53 C Daily Income of Ten Thousand
Upon opening the door, Chen Yu found that it was indeed his express delivery.
Jinzhou Citys Most Handsome Man?
Thats right. Thats me, Chen Yu said, nodding.
Please sign here, the courier from SF Express said, passing an electronic tablet to Chen Yu. He then ran to the nearby elevator and pulled out a small cart piled with various packages, saying, These are all for you.
Alright.
After signing off on the delivery, Chen Yu moved all of the packages into the house with the couriers help.
Sorry for the trouble.
Its fine. However, I suggest you change your recipient name.
Huh? Why?
I nearly thought the delivery was mine!
Oh? An expert!
Same to you, same to you.
After sending off the courier, Chen Yu rubbed his palms together as he stood in the living room. He then started opening the boxes one after another.
He had received a total of ten boxes, which contained a gaming laptop, a PS4, a Nintendo Switch, an Xbox, a curved monitor, a brand-new Tissot watch, a mink velvet coat, a gold-plated feeding bottle, a 60-piece fluorescent crayon set, and an external hard drive.
As the above items were all of significant value, they were delivered using SF Express. The exercise books he bought for Chen Yike would be delivered using a normal courier service, so they had yet to arrive.
After tidying up the opened boxes and disposing of them downstairs, Chen Yu moved all his purchases into his room.
Currently, his parents had yet to see the money he was going to earn. If they knew he bought all these things before he had received any money, they would definitely beat him to death.
Lastly This one.
Sitting before his study table, Chen Yu held up the box containing the external hard drive. After flipping it around a few times, he opened it and retrieved the hard drive inside.
This was a 4TB external hard drive, and it felt very solid in his hand.
As he had not bought any hard drives during his shopping spree, he knew that this was the hard drive containing the raw footage Blooming Clouds had sent him.
Setting the hard drive aside, Chen Yu grabbed his new high-end laptop and powered it up. After installing the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal C Hidden Version software on it, he connected the hard drive to the laptop and started working.
The memory of the hard drive was chock full of video clips and documents sorted into various folders.
After giving the files a quick look, Chen Yu discovered that, aside from product review videos, there were also plenty of video material for scenery, random travel, and animation patchwork.
There were even foreign documentaries that only required him to translate subtitles.
Chen Yu plugged in his mouse, then imported a 40GB folder into his editing software. With the help of Smart Editing, it only took him several seconds to generate a fully edited video.
After making some additional modifications to the video, he sent it to Blooming Clouds. He then pulled out his phone and entered QQ Messenger.
[Chen Yu: I already edited one. Its a 20-minute video. Give it a look.]
[Blooming Clouds: Ok.]
[Chen Yu: Where did you find so much work?]
[Blooming Clouds: To begin with, I do this for a living. Your price is also sufficiently low, and the quality is relatively high. Its easy to find work with such conditions.]
[Chen Yu: Alright. Work properly as a contractor, then. Ill send the videos to you as they get edited. Send me the money when you think it is the right time. Lets have a pleasant partnership.]
[Blooming Clouds: Rest assured. I wont pay you a penny less.]
[Chen Yu: Oh, right. About those documentary videos that you want me to translate. For that kind of work, 30 yuan per minute definitely wont cut it. The workload is too much.]
In reality, to Chen Yu, there was no difference between adding subtitles and translating subtitles. He merely wished to earn more money.
Moreover, even if he walked the path of small profits but quick turnover, there had to be a balance. He definitely needed to raise his price if the other party wished to add in a translation process. He couldnt let others think that he was a pushover.
[Blooming Clouds: Those documentaries dont have a subtitle document. According to industry standards, hearing-based translations are charged by the minute. Is 50 yuan per minute fine?]
Chen Yu hurriedly searched the web for some information. Only after getting a grasp of the general market price did he reply.
[Chen Yu: Im charging 150 per minute. Its 1,500 for 10 minutes.]
[Blooming Clouds: This isnt a very suitable price. After all, that video is already edited.]
[Chen Yu: Youre saying 150 per minute isnt suitable for translation plus subtitles? Are you sure? Its 1,500 for 10 minutes. Take it or leave it.]
[Blooming Clouds: Happy cooperation.]
Clicking his tongue, Chen Yu set his phone aside and resumed importing and editing the raw footage.
Half an hour later, Chen Yu finished editing all of the raw footage. Setting aside the three foreign documentaries, he had edited 145 videos, for a total length of 227 minutes.
According to his rate of 30 yuan per minute, this batch of videos would earn him 6,810 yuan.
If he included the foreign documentaries that were 45 minutes long in all, he would gain another 6,750 yuan.
That was a total of 13,560 yuan!
So, its actually so easy to earn over ten thousand yuan a day.
Chen Yu could not help growing delighted as he counted on his fingers.
With a steady income of 10,000 daily, he would become a millionaire in just a little more than three months. At that time, his family could move to a larger house.
Also, from now on, they would no longer have to worry about putting food on the table.
His little sisters could also dress better.
His parents would no longer need to work as hard as before, either. If they wanted to, they could go on a date and watch movies or do some gardening. He might even end up getting another little sister.
Without my knowing it, Ive already become so outstanding at the age of 18. Raising his head and looking at his ceiling, Chen Yu could not help chuckling to himself. I can already provide for the entire family. I truly am amazing.
However, in the middle of his daydreams, Chen Yu suddenly realized a problem.
His neighbors and his schools faculty knew his family conditions. If his family suddenly became rich, it would definitely attract a lot of peoples attentionparticularly that of the government officials searching for him.
It seems I still need to maintain a low profile and spend my money stealthily.
Picking up his phone and taking a look at the time, Chen Yu gave his body a stretch before copying the 100-plus edited videos onto the external hard drive. He then closed his laptop, picked up his bag, and left the house.
He mailed the external hard drive at the nearest SF Express station, according to the senders address written on the package he previously received, then made his way to Sixth High.
With the current situation, he could no longer casually skip school like before. He needed to maintain a low profile to avoid attracting the attention of those five officials from Beijing as much as possible.
Although, right now, he mightve caught those peoples attention already.
Two days later, Friday:
Waking up in bed, Chen Yu patted his body and gave his room a quick look. After finding nothing amiss, he breathed out a sigh of relief.
Last night was a peaceful night. Nobody came to knife me.
He got out of bed and went to wash up in the bathroom. When he returned to his room and picked up his phone, he noticed that he had plenty of unread messages, with the majority coming from Blooming Clouds.
[Chen Yu: Sorry, I slept early last night, so I didnt see your messages.]
[Blooming Clouds: Youre finally awake.]
[Chen Yu: Youre up quite early.]
[Blooming Clouds: I didnt sleep at all last night!]
[Chen Yu: Oh? You mustve received the hard drive. Are you done watching the videos?]
[Blooming Clouds: Ive watched them all.]
[Chen Yu: Hows the quality?]
[Blooming Clouds: They all pass.]
[Chen Yu: Send the money over, then.]
[Blooming Clouds: Ill send the money in a moment. Right now, I have a question I want to ask you.]
[Chen Yu: What question?]
[Blooming Clouds: How many workers does your studio have? How did you edit all these videos so quickly?]
[Chen Yu: Its a secret. Any other questions? If not, hurry up and send me the money. The total is 13,560, but Ill round it off for you.]
[Blooming Clouds: So, 13,000? Ill send it to you now.]
[Chen Yu: 14,000.]
[Blooming Clouds: ]
Chapter 54
Chapter 54 C Fourth Review Product! (1)
Mom, are you still going to work part-time today?
The entire Chen family was currently having breakfast at the dining table. While eating, Chen Yu had racked his brain for a cool way to bring up the topic of his new income.
Thats right. What about it? Mother Chen mumbled while chewing on a steamed bun.
How much do you earn a day?
A hundred. I get 40 for the morning shift and 60 for the afternoon shift.
Oh~ Nodding his head in an exaggerated manner, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and transferred 1,000 yuan to Mother Chen through WeChat. Ill give you ten times the amount, so dont go to work today.
Suddenly, silence fell over the dining table.
Now, even the sound of chewing vanished.
Aside from the drowsing Chen Sanke, everyone else stared at the phone Chen Yu held up in shock.
Dad, how much do you earn a day on average?
Th-Three hundred
Upon hearing that, Chen Yu tapped on his phone and transferred 3,000 yuan to Father Chen. Ill give you ten times the amount as well, so take the day off and head out to relax with my mother.
You You Standing up abruptly, Mother Chen snatched Chen Yus phone and demanded, Where did you get so much money?!
At Mother Chens shout, Chen Sanke promptly woke up from her doze. Thinking that she was going to get scolded for nodding off during a meal, she hurriedly grabbed one steamed bun after another and crammed them into her mouth.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu leaned against his chair and tried to cross his legs coolly. However, he quickly discovered that there was no room for him to do so, so he had no choice but to abandon that thought. He then replied, Its not that much money, really. I earned it all from editing videos. I didnt lie to you, right?
After a moment of silence, Father Chen asked, How much did you earn?
Five thousand five hundred, Chen Yu said, reporting less than half his actual income.
After tapping into Chen Yus WeChat Wallet, Mother Chen discovered that it still had 1,500 yuan. Including the 4,000 yuan he just sent to them, there had indeed been a total of 5,500 yuan!
This This Mother Chens hands started trembling slightly. She then turned to look at Father Chen, unsure of what to do in this situation. Just what are you doing? How can you earn so much money?
Like I said, editing videos. Take the videos you see on the internet and the documentary shows on television, for example. They only look as good as they do because theyve gone through editing. You can think of me as one of the people doing this editing.
If its so easy to make money through editing, why arent other people doing it? Father Chen asked, his face filled with doubt.
Of course, its because I am talented. With an upright face, Chen Yu started spouting a bunch of nonsense. The videos other people edit turn out plain and boring, while the videos I edit can get the audience to say things like: Crap! Amazing! Exciting! Thats the difference between us.
Everyone:
You guys wont get it even if I explain it to you. In any case, I declare that, from today onward, our family is no longer in need of money. Mom, you dont need to do part-time anymore. Dad, if that department head of yours gives you trouble again, just beat him up and resign! Nobody can look down on us now!
Everyone:
Phew After Chen Yu finished acting cool, he breathed out a light sigh, a warm and comfortable feeling spreading throughout his body. Everyone, continue eating. Dont be so restrained.
You Frowning and scratching her head, Mother Chen asked, Chen Yu, this thing youre doing, its not illegal, right?
Im using my technical skills to earn money. Illegal? I just entered the industry. Do you know how much money the truly famous editors are making?
Turning to look at each other, Mother Chen and Father Chen were at a loss for words.
Compared to the empty words Chen Yu had said to them two days ago, the genuine 5,500 yuan they were seeing now undoubtedly came as a much greater shocksuch a shock that they could not help doubting the reality of this situation.
After some time, Mother Chen dazedly pinched Chen Yus nose and dragged it left and right.
Ah?! It hurts! What are you doing!?
Are you Chen Yu?
Chen Yu:
Mother Chen wondered if her son had been replaced. After all, not only did he possess talent in sports and studying, but he even had the ability to earn a lot of money now.
Regardless of what you think of it, thats the situation now. Theres no helping that your son is so amazing now. You two old folk can retire and rest. From now on, Ill handle all of our familys finances. In exchange, however, I feel that my status in the family should be raised correspondingly.
After saying so, Chen Yu felt as if his entire body had gotten lighter.
Meanwhile, after Mother Chen snapped out of her daze, she snatched Chen Yus phone again and transferred his remaining 1,500 yuan to her own WeChat Wallet.
This is too much money for you to handle. Ill hold onto it for you for now. Youre still a student. You shouldnt learn how to spend money lavishly.
Right! Father Chen nodded his head strongly in agreement. He then snatched Mother Chens phone and transferred the 2,500 yuan in her WeChat Wallet to his own bank account. Chen Yu, you still dont know whether this job is stable in the long term or not. Dont casually spend this money. Leave it with me for safekeeping.
Mother Chen:
Turning to look back at Chen Yu, Mother Chen quickly noticed the smug expression on his face. Extending her hand toward him without hesitation, she said, You still have money! You definitely earned more than 5,500!
I dont have any.
You think I dont understand you? You definitely have more!
I dont.
You do!
I dont.
Foolish son, quickly give it to your mother! Do you think I will rip you off?
I dont have any money left.
Thirty minutes later, Chen Yu escorted his three little sisters to school.
First, he dropped off Chen Sanke at her kindergarten. He then passed Chen Sanke her bag and said, Third Eldest, I left a present inside your bag.
A present? Chen Sanke was momentarily stunned by Chen Yus words. Immediately afterward, she happily opened up her school bag and pulled out a gold-plated feeding bottle from it. Wah! So pretty!
Do you like it?
I like it!
Is Big Brother the best?
The best! Chen Sanke answered as she hugged Chen Yus left leg and rubbed her face against it.
Alright, go to school and have fun.
Mhm! Chen Sanke nodded. After placing her new feeding bottle into her bag, she toddled her way into the kindergarten.
Turning around, Chen Yu discovered that both Chen Yike and Chen Erke were looking at him with sparkles in their eyes. However, instead of saying something, he simply chuckled as he led the two of them away from the kindergarten.
Five minutes later, the group arrived at Chen Erkes school.
Passing the bag in his right hand to Chen Erke, Chen Yu said, Second Eldest, theres a present inside your bag as well.
Thank you, Big Brother! Hahahaha!
Chen Erke raised her hands and jumped for joy as she let out melodious laughter.
Open it and take a look.
Mhm! Her body swaying happily, Chen Erke excitedly opened her bag and pulled out a pack of exquisite crayons. She could tell that the crayons were worth a lot of money with just one look.
Big Brother Chen Erkes smile suddenly disappeared as her eyes started reddening. She then hugged Chen Yus waist and said, Thank you.
No need for thanks. Use these crayons for your drawings in the future.
Mhm!
After seeing off Chen Erke, Chen Yu turned toward Chen Yike.
Brother.
Be good.
Under Chen Yikes expectant gaze, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Chen Yikes middle school.
Eldest, your bag has a present inside too. I spent half a day looking for it. I think it suits you very much.
Thank you, Big Brother! Big Brother is the best!
Will you listen to Big Brothers words in the future?
I will!
Is Big Brother handsome?
Handsome!
Come, give me a kiss, Chen Yu said as he turned his face and pointed at his cheek.
Chen Yike instantly blushed at Chen Yus words. After turning to check her surroundings and making sure that nobody was nearby, she quickly leaned forward and pecked Chen Yus cheek.
Hehe. Chen Yu was delighted at this result. He then took down the bag hanging on his chest and passed it to Chen Yike, saying, Take it.
After receiving her school bag, Chen Yike immediately tried to pull open the zipper. However, Chen Yu stopped her before she could do so.
Eldest, look at it once youre in class. Im leaving first.
Alright! Goodbye, Big Brother! I love you!
Bye.
Waving his hand, Chen Yu turned around and ran away.

[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, congratulations. Your true subscriber count has broken through the 40,000 mark.]
Sunday, morning:
Chen Yu woke up to the vibration of his phone beneath his pillow. After he tapped on his phone screen in a daze, the first thing that entered his sight was this message. Energy immediately filled him, and he became fully awake.
[Chen Yu: When did it happen?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Just now. Congratulations.]
Nice!
Chen Yu hurriedly got out of bed, then sat at his study table and opened his laptop to visit Bilibilis platform.

Moreover, this was only his third review video!
Nobody on Bilibili could compete with his growth speed.
What a pity. If I werent being actively censored on the internet, my popularity would be even greater.
With a regretful grunt, Chen Yu exited Bilibili and entered his Profile page on the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal. Compared to Bilibilis statistics, he was more concerned about the statistics here.

I just need around 9,000 subscribers. Its a done deal. My girl is secured.
After excitedly rubbing his palms together, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and typed a message.
[Chen Yu: Will the express delivery arrive later? Can you send it to me ahead of time so that I can start making the video sooner?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im sorry, Mr. Chen. The product can only arrive at 9 A.M. sharp.]
[Chen Yu: Alright, then. Can you tell me what the product is? I know the rules. I just wish to know if this product can help with hiding my identity.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It will! It will be of great help! Mr. Chen, please rest assured!]
Upon seeing these words, Chen Yu excitedly clenched his fist. He then sent a 200 yuan red packet[1] through WeChat without hesitation.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thank you for your goodwill, Mr. Chen. However, we are unable to collect this money.]
[Chen Yu: I know you cant collect it. Thats why I sent it. (Unsent)]
[Chen Yu: What a pity.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu took a look at the time.
It was currently half past seven in the morning.
There was still an hour and a half before the express delivery arrived.
This is agony!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu walked to the door and carefully opened it.
Thud!
As soon as Chen Yu opened the door, something fell in front of him.
When he lowered his head for a closer look, he discovered that it was a bag of tattered clothes.
Obviously, this was Chen Yikes prank on him.
Its been two days already. That little girl is still angry at me?
While saying so, Chen Yu kicked the bag of clothes. However, as soon as he did so, a sharp pain came from his foot.
Ouch!
Chen Yu cried out in pain and hurriedly squatted down to hug his foot.
It hurts
Huff! Huff!
Blowing at his foot a few times, Chen Yu discovered that two small drops of blood had seeped out of his toe.
In a fit of anger, Chen Yu reached out and tore the bundle of clothing apart, only to see a cactus ball roll out of the bundle!
It turned out that the falling bundle of clothing wasnt meant to hit him at all. Instead, it was meant to hide the hidden weapon inside it, as well as fake him into dropping his guard.
*&@#*+***
Chen Yus face flushed with anger. This prank made him feel as if he was being overwhelmed in terms of intelligence.
Chen Yike!
Clenching his fists, Chen Yu angrily stalked into the living room and pushed open the door to Chen Yikes room. Just as he was about to start berating Chen Yike, however
Splash!
A tub of water came falling toward him, drenching him.
Chen Yu:
Hearing the noise, Chen Yike drowsily rubbed her eyes. When she saw Chen Yus drenched figure, she yawned and said, Morning.
Removing the tub and wiping the remnant water on his face, Chen Yu gnashed his teeth as he shouted, Chen Yike! Youre going too far!
Who told you to barge into my room? Sitting up on her bed, Chen Yike stretched her body as she said, I washed my feet last night and was too lazy to get rid of it immediately, so I placed it above the door. Is there a problem with that?
What?! A foot wash!?
Chen Yus anger flared even further at this discovery. He immediately tried to pounce on Chen Yike. However, as soon as he moved forward, he tripped over a few strips of transparent Scotch tape and fell to the floor.
Thud!
The floorboards trembled slightly at Chen Yus fall.
Chen Yu:
Seeing this, Chen Yike tossed aside her blanket and lazily got off her bed. She then left her room, stepping on Chen Yus bum on her way out.
What fine weather today. Im happy.
Chen Yu:
Half an hour later, the Chen family crowded around the dining table and started having breakfast.
Chen Yu, how much did you earn these past few days? Mother Chen asked.
At these words, Father Chen, who sat beside Mother Chen, instantly perked up his ears.
I earned 7,000.
That much?! Mother Chens eyes glowed at Chen Yus answer. Stretching out her hand, she said, Give it to your mother. Ill keep it safe for you.
No. Frowning, Father Chen said, Give it to your father. Ill keep it for you.
Uh Chen Yu immediately grew hesitant in this situation.
Give it to your mother!
Give it to your father!
Have you forgotten how much your mother loves you? You must give it to me!
Does that mean your father doesnt love you? I give you meat every day! Give it to me!
Your father has a bad heart! He used to rub your cheeks every day when you were young to warm his hands!
Does that mean your mother has a good heart? Instead of buying you milk, she simply fed you crushed vegetables when you were young!
Old Chen! Stop spouting nonsense! He shouldve started eating rice already back then!
You have the gall to say that?! Its because you didnt provide our son with enough nutrients when he was young that his intelligence did not develop properly!
Chen Yu: ?
Rolling up her sleeves, Mother Chen said, If milk has nutrients, does that mean rice and vegetables dont have nutrients?
Smacking the table, Father Chen said, Are they even the same thing? A cat is a cat! Does that mean a panda is a cat, as well?[2]
Youre taking things out of context! They dont make sense!
Youre the one that doesnt make sense! A seahorse isnt a horse! A pineapple isnt a pear![3] After saying so, Father Chen pointed at Chen Yu agitatedly and continued, A single dog[4] isnt a dog, either!
Chen Yu: ???
Standing up from his seat, Chen Yu hurriedly interrupted the argument between his parents, saying, Hey! What does this have to do with me?! Why are you attack
You shut up! Pointing her chopsticks at Chen Yu, Mother Chen barked to Father Chen, Why isnt a single dog a dog? Wait, no I mean, why isnt Chen Yu a dog? Wait, no What does our son have to do with dogs?! Why are you insulting dogs in our argument?! Wait, no
Chen Yu:
Turning around, Chen Yu quietly left the kitchen and returned to his room. He then huddled in a corner of the room.
In the end, he spent an entire hour staring lifelessly at the wall.
At 9 A.M. sharp, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared inside his room.
Thud.
A long, white box fell onto the floor.
The fourth review product had arrived.
Chapter 56
Chapter 56 C The Best Method for Hiding Ones Identity
Thud!
Upon hearing the loud thud, Chen Yu turned his head, and the sight that greeted him immediately rekindled his spirit.
Its here!
He hurriedly walked over and picked up the box to examine it carefully. The box was quite hefty. He then tore the seal and opened up the box.
What?!
When Chen Yu saw the item inside the box, however, he leaped back in fright.
The thing inside the boxwas actually a gun!
The gun was roughly half a meter in length and 20 centimeters wide. Its metallic black exterior shone with a cold luster when hit by sunlight.
Is Is this a real gun?
Skeptically, Chen Yu bent down and carefully removed the gun from the box. He then earnestly inspected it.
Gun barrel, trigger, magazine, scope It had everything that a real rifle would possess. Aside from its novel shape, it was undoubtedly a real gun!
Its so heavy.
After holding the gun for less than two minutes, Chen Yus arms already started to ache. He then carefully set the gun down and retrieved the thick instruction manual sitting inside the box.
The 404 Heat Ray Gun. Manufactured in the year 2404 by the Kelmei Arms Company
Releases a diffusive heat ray that heats a target by 8,500C to 9,750C per millisecond. Capable of reaching a maximum temperature of 12,000C. Can instantly gasify carbon-based organisms and melt substances with a melting point below 4,300C
Placing the instruction manual down with trembling hands, Chen Yu stared at the ceiling with dazed eyes.
After some time had passed, he pulled out his phone and typed a message with his stiff fingers.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Here]
[Chen Yu: This gun is the fourth episodes product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is correct. Are you satisfied with it, Mr. Chen? Normally, you wouldnt be assigned a product of this caliber during your probation period. However, due to your great potential, the higher-ups made an exception.]
[Chen Yu: I know this gun is very amazing, but didnt you say that the fourth product will be very helpful in hiding my identity? Can you please tell me how this gun will do that?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Of course, its of great help! If you wish to conceal your identity, just vaporize everyone that knows of it!]
[Chen Yu: Are you certain theres nothing wrong with your logic?! ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, there is nothing for you to worry about. Once your probation period is over, our team will continuously apply for all kinds of advanced technological weapons for you! You will be more than capable of fighting a global surface war with these weapons! For our mutual benefit, fight!]
[Chen Yu: To hell with your war! I finally understand why this gun is named 404! I want to switch products!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im very sorry, but once a product has been delivered, it cannot be switched with another one.]
[Chen Yu: Were breaking up, you scummy man!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im a woman.]
[Chen Yu: Scummy woman!]
After exiting WeChat and setting aside his phone, Chen Yu returned his gaze to the 404 Heat Ray Gun, his scalp going numb as he looked at the weapon.
A heat ray over 8,500C Let alone humans, even armored vehicles, bunkers, planes, tanks, aircraft carriersthere was nothing this gun could not destroy.
In less than 400 years of development, humans had actually managed to develop such a terrifying weapon.
After pondering for some time, Chen Yu picked up his phone once more.
[Chen Yu: Big Sis, I have to review this product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is correct.]
[Chen Yu: Why do I feel that reviewing this weapon will land me in an even bigger mess]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, your current thought process is still confined to the standard of ordinary citizens. No matter the space-time or era, strength will always be the most stable form of support. As the number of transdimensional products you reveal to the public increases, so will your authority and deterrence. Eventually, the others will be the ones who need to be afraid.]
[Chen Yu: That sounds somewhat logical.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Oh, right. As you have already met your promotional targets, it is only a matter of time before you become an official partner of the Transdimensional Marketing Company. So, I will explain the promotion methods that will be used during the official period.]
[Chen Yu: Alright, continue.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Firstly, once you are officially partnered with us, your main method of advertising will be livestreams. During livestreams, your number of viewers will be the most important statistic to take note of. Every 10,000 viewers you get will net you one point. The more points you accumulate, the quicker your access level will increase.]
[Chen Yu: Does that mean review videos will no longer be important?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Videos are similarly important! They are crucial to boosting your popularity. The more views, discussions, shares, and saves your videos get, the more high-tech companies you will attract to sponsor you for advertisements. As to how you should create your videos, all you need to do is import the recording of your livestreams and edit it using the software we provided. Afterward, just upload the edited video.]
[Chen Yu: OK, I understand. And will the products come once a week during the official period, as well?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: During the official period, you will review one heavyweight product a month. Three months is considered a quarter, and the company will evaluate your performance once every quarter. If you pass the evaluation, your access level will be increased. If not, then it will be decreased.]
[Chen Yu: I can review only one product a month?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Under normal circumstances, yes. However, if you are willing to spend some points, you can apply for additional products to review. You can even review 30 products a month if you want to and have the points to do so.]
[Chen Yu: Alright, I understand everything.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I wish you a smooth review. Goodbye.]
Pocketing his phone, Chen Yu dug out his winter coat and used it to wrap the Heat Ray Gun. He then stored his camera, laptop, pen, and paper in his bag before leaving his room with them.
Currently, only Chen Yike and Chen Sanke were in the living room.
Seeing Chen Yu walking toward the security door, Chen Sanke trotted over to him and hugged his leg, asking, Where are you going, Big Brother?
I have something to do outside. Did Mom send Second Eldest to tuition?
Mhm.
Stay at home and play together with your big sister. Im leaving now.
Patting Chen Sankes head, Chen Yu pushed open the security door and left the house.
Twenty minutes later, his taxi arrived at the warehouse he previously rented.
Boom!
After shutting and locking the warehouse door tightly, Chen Yu turned on the lights and scrutinized the warehouse. Since everything inside the warehouse looked the same as before, he made his way to his review table and sat down before it. He then flipped through the Heat Ray Guns instruction manual while drafting a script.
Roughly 10 minutes later, he completed his script.
He gave his script a few reads and found nothing wrong with it, then left the warehouse to purchase some tools for his review.
Everythings ready!
After returning from his shopping, Chen Yu set up his camera, sat before his review table, and then started filming his fourth review video.
Greetings, my fellow viewers! This is Transdimensional Reviews fourth episode! I am very grateful for the support everyone has shown me thus far!
Today, I have brought a slightly special product for everyone
It is
Chapter 57
Chapter 57 C Little Sisters Are Meant for Entertainment
Creak
After pushing apart the doors to the suburban warehouse he rented, Chen Yu walked out of the building, carrying the 404 Heat Ray Gun wrapped in his winter coat. Currently, his face was pale, and both his legs trembled as he walked.
Although he had read the instruction manual and had a rough idea of the power of this future weapon, when he actually used it, he still could not help getting frightened. After using the weapon, he could say with certainty that no material in existence in the present world could survive a hit from the Heat Ray Gun.
Raising his head to look at the sky, Chen Yu noticed that it was still relatively early. After walking to a nearby desolate park and sitting on a bench there, he pulled out his phone and dashed off a message.
[Chen Yu: Can you reclaim this 404 Heat Ray Gun?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Of course, we can. However, I wish to know which part of this weapon is not to your satisfaction.]
[Chen Yu: My greatest dissatisfaction is that its power is too great. I get scared just holding it.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: I have no use for this thing. I cant possibly use it to actually kill people, right? Moreover, the battery that came with it is simply too small. Now that Ive reviewed it, I can fire it only two or three more times at best. I really dont think it will be of any use to me. Its much better if I exchange it for something more useful.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You can use it to conduct warfare!]
[Chen Yu: Big Sis, spare me! Just hearing the name 404 gives me a bad premonition. Replace it with something that gives off positive energy.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. Please wait for a moment, then. I will inquire about the reclamation for you right now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The 404 Heat Ray Gun is quite valuable. We can gift you one of the three following items.]
[Chen Yu: Sure. Oh, right, dont mention water to me. I dont want water!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Oh, then, Ill have to make a new application for you.]
Chen Yu:
[Transdimensional Marketing: I have applied for three new gifts according to your possible needs. Gift 1: First Generation NE Sodium Gene Injection; Gift 2: Miniature Quantum Washing Machine; Gift 3: Spiral Ascending Aircraft.]
Chen Yu raised his brows when he saw the names of the three products.
[Chen Yu: Can you give me an introduction? What are the functions and uses of these three items?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The First Generation NE Sodium Gene Injection enhances the bodys physique and metabolism by a small margin. You will see improvements in your virus immunity, balance, brain neuron transmission rate, dynamic vision, cell activity, bone density, slow-twitch muscle fiber endurance, fast-twitch muscle fiber strength and explosive power, and other comprehensive physiological qualities of the human body.
The Miniature Quantum Washing Machine is an object that you can easily carry with you. It can automatically wash, dry, and disinfect clothing with or without water. It also has an ironing function. You can use the washing machine to conduct maintenance on all sorts of valuable clothing.
The Spiral Ascending Aircraft is a tool that is installed above the head. When installed, it will rotate the users body in a clockwise direction and allow the user to take off and land at will. The aircrafts maximum take-off load is 592 kg; maximum flight speed, 260 km/h; sea-level climb rate, 11.5m/s; maximum flight duration, 4 hours and 25 minutes. It can recharge its battery up to 50% in one hour using solar energy. (There is a built-in suspension buffer to prevent physical discomfort.)]
Looking at the other partys detailed explanation, Chen Yu fell into a dilemma.
The washing machine aside, both the first and third products would be of great use to him. The former could be used to strengthen his physical body, while the latter could be used to provide him with rapid movement. Although spinning in the sky like a top would make him look like a fool, the description already mentioned that the user would not feel any discomfort. It was undoubtedly a wondrous product for travel and escaping!
[Chen Yu: The first and third gifts. If I were to choose one of them, can you reserve the other for me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is entirely possible.]
After giving the matter some thought, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and made his decision.
[Chen Yu: I choose the first gift!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. I will open up the space-time wormhole for you now. Please insert the 404 Heat Ray Gun into it.]
[Chen Yu: Wait a minute. Im not home yet. Ill send it to you once Im home.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well.]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu promptly left the small park he occupied and hailed a taxi.
Master, to Lanhe District.
Got it. Nodding, the taxi driver stepped on the pedal. Young man, what is that youre holding?
A toy.
What kind of toy?
Its a normal toy.
Hehehe. Suddenly chuckling strangely, the taxi driver said, Is it an inflatable one? Hehe, I understand.
Chen Yu:
You youngsters really are living in a wonderful era. There are all sorts of toys nowadays. Back in my day, we could only go fishing at a pond for entertainment. You might not know this, but carps
What an old driver. He truly is an old driver
Standing in front of his home, Chen Yu trembled with a start as he recalled the taxi drivers words.
He pulled out his key, opened the door, and entered the house. Upon walking into the living room, he discovered that all three of his younger sisters were home.
Eldest, wheres Mom?
She went to play mahjong! Hmph! Chen Yike said, snorting. She then resumed going through the endless pile of exercise books on the tea table.
She had received a total of 40 exercise books. Although she wanted nothing more than to toss them away, she was reluctant to do so. Leaving them to collect dust would similarly be a waste, so she had no choice but to work on them. However, the more questions she completed, the more frustrated she became.
Big Brother, youre back! Love you!ţ3Ũq?
Seeing Chen Yu return, Chen Erke set down her crayon, ran to him, and hugged his left leg.
Big Brother is back! (R?Q)?
Chen Sanke similarly staggered her way to Chen Yu and hugged his right leg.
After Chen Yu had gifted presents to these two little sisters, his favorability with them had instantly maxed out.
Hmph!
When Chen Yike heard her two little sisters joyful words, her pen-wielding hand started trembling slightly, her eyes moistening.
Seeing Chen Yikes aggrieved appearance, Chen Yu felt a little uncomfortable. Pulling on Chen Erkes and Chen Sankes hands, he approached the tea table and said in a gentle voice, Eldest, Big Brother has gone too far.
Uuu~~ At Chen Yus words of comfort, the grievance piled up in Chen Yikes chest immediately burst out, and she started crying.
Alright, alright, Big Brother will compensate you, Chen Yu said. He then opened the bag he carried and pulled out something from inside.
Pfft Chen Yike broke into laughter when she saw Chen Yus actions. Wiping away her tears, she said embarrassedly, You only know how to bully me.
Here! Pulling out two Middle School 3rd Year Five-year Simulation books and slapping them onto the tea table, Chen Yu said, I bought them from the shop downstairs. The shopkeeper said their difficulty is quite high.
Chen Yikes smile immediately stiffened at the addition of the two more exercise books to the pile on the tea table.
Chen Yu: Ahahahahaha! Who told you to pour water on me?! Did you think I would let you off the hook?!
Chen Yu!!! Im bringing you down with me!!!
Ah! Stop! Stop, stop! That hurts! Ouch, ouch, ouch
After returning to his room with a blue nose and swollen face, Chen Yu sat on his bed and caressed the nail marks on his neck. Gritting his teeth, he hissed in pain as he mumbled, Those claws really are sharp Ha, this really is addictive.
[Chen Yu: Im home.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Ill open the wormhole for you now.]
In the next moment, space in the middle of his room warped and transformed into a white vortex.
Seeing this, Chen Yu hurriedly pulled apart his coat and transferred the 404 Heat Ray Gun inside it into the vortex. Once the gun disappeared, a small, white box fell out of the vortex.
Buzz
The wormhole gradually vanished afterward.
Chen Yu stepped forward, picked up the box, and slit the seal.
When he opened the box, he discovered a spiraling needle syringe inside it. A blue liquid filled the syringe, with a glittering light coming from inside the liquid.
Meanwhile, written on the syringes surface were the following words:
Superhuman Groups Honorary Product!
Chapter 58
Chapter 58 C The Curse of Being an Elder Brother
After taking the syringe out of the box, Chen Yu raised it toward his window to get a better look at it.
As he studied the spiraling syringe, he got the impression that the blue liquid inside was consciously moving.
Why does it feel like the t-Virus[1]?
Chen Yu pulled out his phone and searched for images of the dangerous t-Virus on the internet to compare with the blue liquid he held. And the more images he looked at, the more he found the t-Virus similar to the blue liquid he held.
[Chen Yu: I got the item. However, I want to know if its harmful or not.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is a gene agent thats considerably beneficial to the human constitution. How can it possibly be harmful?]
[Chen Yu: Alright, then. Take it as me overthinking things. Oh, right. Is this gene agent capable of increasing intelligence?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Intelligence? It is only capable of increasing the transmission rate of brain neurons.]
[Chen Yu: Truthfully, while this might seem laughable, I think that mybrain is slightly different from the ordinary persons. Can this gene agent fix it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are you sure it is just slightly different, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Haha, I was just joking with you. Mr. Chen, you are merely too young to think things out fully. Things will get better once you grow up and mature.]
[Chen Yu: But my mom said that Id stay this way even after I grow old.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Your mother might be correct.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Very good. Speaking with you has made me very damned happy. Goodbye.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Goodbye.]
After exiting WeChat and tossing aside his phone, Chen Yu removed the syringes cap and pressed the needle against his shoulder. Afterward, he fell into silence for three minutes.
It should hurt a lot
Phew
Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh, then gritted his teeth and pushed down the syringe, its needle stabbing into his muscle tissues.
Buzz Buzz Buzz
In the next moment, the spiraling structure inside the syringe actually started rotating, pushing the blue liquid into Chen Yus body.
Swish Click.
Five seconds later, all of the blue liquid had been injected into Chen Yus body. A red light then lit up at the top of the syringe. He hurriedly pulled out the needle, then licked the needle wound to stop his blood from flowing out.
Moving his arm around, Chen Yu found that he did not feel any discomfort whatsoever.
[Chen Yu: I injected it, but there doesnt seem to be any changes?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The changes naturally wont occur immediately. The gene agent will gradually modify and improve your constitution throughout a long period. You may also accelerate this process by exercising.]
[Chen Yu: OK. I also noticed that the syringe used to store the gene agent is quite special. Can I exchange it for something?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You can.]
[Chen Yu: Wonderful. Switch it to something else for me. No water, though.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, the thermostatic syringe used to store the gene agent cant be used to exchange for something as valuable as water.]
[Chen Yu: Anything is fine, just not water.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen. Please wait a moment. Ill send in the application for you now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Application completed. Based on your possible needs, we have chosen three items for you to choose from. One: Fragrant Toilet Paper; Two: High Polymer Plastic Bag; Three: Fated Hammer.]
[Chen Yu: Give me an explanation. What are they used for?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The Fragrant Toilet Paper will make your butt fragrant when used. Every sheet of toilet paper that comes into contact with your skin will also combine with dead skin cells and bacteria to produce different fragrances. You can also use it to remove body odor and avoid awkward situations. The toilet paper also has a sterilizing function that helps protect your health.
The High Polymer Plastic Bag is a very sturdy food-packaging bag. It can prevent the release of toxic substances due to steam and high temperatures.
The Fated Hammer has a built-in processor that can adjust the hammers trajectory using the wind blade on the hammers peen to ensure that every hit will avoid the nail and hit your finger.]
Chen Yus face started twitching intensely at the three items descriptions.
[Chen Yu: What are these junks?! I wont say much about the toilet paper and plastic bag, but whats up with that Fated Hammer?! What is the point of creating it?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: To avoid the frustration of hitting the nail every time.]
[Chen Yu: Shouldnt you be frustrated for missing the nail?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The thought process of you ancient people truly is mysterious.]
[Chen Yu: You people are the ones that are strange, alright?! I want a replacement!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im sorry, Mr. Chen, but the thermostatic syringes value is simply too low. You cannot apply for a replacement. You may only choose one of the three aforementioned items.]
Lowering his head and glancing at the syringe in his hand, Chen Yu massaged his forehead for a long time before he sent back a reply.
[Chen Yu: Ill get the first one, then. I can at least let my family use it.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I will open the space-time wormhole for you now. Please place the thermostatic syringe into it.]
Immediately, a white vortex formed before Chen Yu. He then casually tossed the empty syringe into the wormhole.
Three seconds later, a roll of toilet paper fell out of the wormhole.
Once the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu extended his hand to grab the toilet paper. He put it before his nose and gave it a sniff but failed to smell any fragrance from it.
Will it give off a fragrance only after it is used?
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu brought the roll out of his room and went to the toilet. He then hung it in the toilet paper dispenser there and pulled out a sheet.
Flap.
To Chen Yus surprise, an instruction manual actually fell off the back of the sheet of toilet paper he pulled out.
Picking up the instruction manual, he saw only one sentence written on it.
[Any body fluid that comes into contact with this paper towel will activate the active matter contained within the papers fibers and cause it to release a mysterious fragrance.]
So, thats the case! Realization dawned upon Chen Yu. Theres actually active matter inside it.
After giving the toilet paper another look, Chen Yu squatted down and stuck his tongue out before the toilet paper. He then licked it without hesitation.
In the next second, a strange, indescribable fragrance drifted into Chen Yus nose, intoxicating him.
This is trulywonderful
After sniffing the strange fragrance for a while, Chen Yu suddenly heard the sound of something hitting the floor coming from behind him. Turning his head around, he saw Chen Erke staring at him wide-eyed and a crayon by her feet.
Even after a moment had passed, Chen Yus tongue remained stretched out of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Chen Erke remained standing motionlessly as well.
The two siblings goggled at each other, their muscles stiff.
Time seemingly stopped at this moment.
Sound seemingly disappeared as well.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Chen Erke snapped out of her daze and took a step back. She then slammed the toilets door shut with a bang.
She said through the door, I I didnt see anything. (?_?)
Second Eldest! Wa-Wait! Second Eldest, let me explain!
Chen Yu chased after Chen Erke in a panic. However, like a frightened rabbit, she dashed into the master bedroom and locked the door.
That was a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Her elder brother had actually been licking a sheet of paper with an affectionate and intoxicated expression on his face.
That was paper found inside the toilet. Aside from it being toilet paper, what else could it possibly be?
Chen Yu:
After standing before the master bedrooms door in a daze for some time, Chen Yu turned around and dragged himself back into his own room. He then walked to his window and looked at the flowing traffic below with a lifeless expression.
Its over
Im finally going to be treated like a pervert by my little sisters
Chapter 59
Chapter 59 C Humanitys No. 1 Most Lethal Weapon
The next day, Monday, 7:50 A.M.:
Chen Yu dropped off his three younger sisters at school like always.
Today, however, he made a slight change to their route. First, he dropped off Chen Yike. Then, he dropped off Chen Sanke. Finally, he dropped off Chen Erke.
Second Eldest, heres your schoolbag.
Mhm.
After timidly receiving her schoolbag, Chen Erke quickly turned around and ran off as if she was fleeing a gangster. However, before she could get far, Chen Yu had grabbed her shoulders and stopped her in place.
Second Eldest, dont go first. I have some things I need to explain to you, Chen Yu said as he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. About that paper from yesterday
Big Brother, you dont need to say anything. Turning around to look at Chen Yu, Chen Erke said earnestly, Even if youre a pervert, you are still my big brother! I will always love you!
Chen Yus face crumpled when he heard Chen Erkes words. Are you directly sentencing me to death?
I wont tell Daddy, Mommy, Big Sis, and Little Sis, so you can rest assured.
Wa-Wait, the situation isnt what you think
This will be our little secret.
I
Love you! Muah!
Chen Erke then ran away without hesitation, her running speed surpassing even Chen Yus when he was wearing the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes.
At the same time, a tense meeting was taking place inside a hotel suite in Jinzhou City.
Its not yet time for Transdimensional Review to release a new video. Lets use this opportunity to verify our plans and actions, said the sole female in the group of five inside the meeting room while holding a folder of documents. Because our actions this time are confidential, we have not received much support from the police and local government. As a result, our information is somewhat meager. Even so, we have already narrowed down our target to three suspects in Sixth High.
She flipped open the folder and read aloud, First suspect: Fukuoka Hidari. Year 3, Class 4. He returned from Japan with his birth mother. Speaks fluent Chinese, and his physique is similar to the UPs in the video. His father once worked in a sensitive department at a nuclear power plant. He is worthy of suspicion.
Mhm. The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the meeting table nodded. After writing in his notebook, he said, Continue.
Second suspect: Qin Shousheng. Year 2, Class 1. Similarly possesses a physique matching the videos UPs. Loves Peking Opera, and his specialty is his linguistic ability. During Sixth Highs entrance ceremony this year, he performed a face-changing act and imitated the speech of celebrities. One of the masks he used is exactly the same as the one Transdimensional Reviews UP uses in his videos. He is similarly worthy of suspicion.
Third suspect: Chen Yu. Year 2, Class 2. His physique is extremely similar to the videos UP. Half a month ago, it was suddenly discovered that he possesses a talent for sports. During the monthly examination held last week, his grades had even crawled up from the bottom of his class to second place in the entire class.
At this point, a young man suddenly interrupted the woman, saying, Big Sis Wu, lets not bring up Sixth Highs academic performance. Even someone with a little more than 300 points can rank first in a class. Theres hardly any difference between first place and last place. Any student that bothers to study can easily push their rank up by 20 or 30 positions.
After hearing the young mans comment, the woman fell silent for a moment before nodding and saying, I guess youre right. Lets cross out this factor, then. Continuing on, according to our understanding, Chen Yu is a very loyal user of Bilibilis platform. He has also once expressed his intention to become a UP on Bilibili to his classmates. Recently, he has started skipping classes and school and displayed many abnormal behaviors. He is very worthy of suspicion.
Mhm. Taking over the discussion, the middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice, Chen Yu is highly suspicious. Xiao Li, make the necessary arrangements. Well pay Chen Yus house a visit tonight to see if there are any clues.
Alright, answered the young man who interrupted the woman before, nodding. It really is difficult to conduct this operation with just the five of us. If we could get the help of the police and local government, we wouldnt have to go through so much trouble and wouldve long since searched the entire Sixth High already.
These are the higher-ups orders. Why do you have so many complaints? the middle-aged man remarked in dissatisfaction. Our current goal is no longer to capture a criminal suspected of using radioactive materials but to locate this mysterious UP. We naturally cannot create more problems for ourselves.
Thats right. The woman nodded in agreement from beside the middle-aged man. The higher-ups are placing great importance on this matter. They have already established three task forces to analyze Transdimensional Reviews video content and UP. We must conduct our operation as conservatively as possible. Moreover, reinforcements from Beijing will arrive soon. Just put up with the hassle for a little while longer, Xiao Li.
Alright, alright, alright. Standing up and stretching his body, the young man addressed as Xiao Li said, Im just a brick. Ill move to wherever Im needed.
Nice enlightenment!
Aside from the bespectacled man sitting in a corner, who remained silent, the other three people in the room chuckled and raised their thumbs at Xiao Li.
Were heading to Chen Yus house tonight! Everyone, go get ready!
Understood!
In the meantime, Chen Yu, who was wholly ignorant of the investigation team looking into him, walked toward Sixth High like a zombie. Even after entering his classroom and taking his seat, he remained spiritless.
Turning around in his seat, Li Liang raised his hand and greeted Chen Yu, Morning, Brother Chen.
Morning.
Brother Chen, you frequent Bilibili, right? Did you see the latest up-and-coming UP?
Up-and-coming UP? Chen Yu snapped out of his daze when he heard these words.
Thats right! The guy easily broke past a million subscribers! Amazing, right?! Li Liang boasted, his words making it seem as if the UP in question was his son.
I know. Satisfaction immediately filled Chen Yus heart at Li Liangs words. Revealing a mysterious smile, he continued, Its that Transdimensional Review, right?
Huh? Whos that?
Stunned, Chen Yu asked, Who are you talking about, then?
Im talking about Zhu Yidan!
Chen Yu:
Whats this Transdimensional Review? Scratching his bald head, Li Liang said, Just hearing the name makes me think the UP is a loon.
Chen Yu:
You dont know just how funny Zhu Yidans videos are. Uncultured! Youre too uncultured!
Scram, Chen Yu said as he pulled out the table leg from his desk compartment.
Affirmative.
Following which, time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was already 9 A.M.
Despite the mathematics teacher enthusiastically teaching at the front of the class, Chen Yu paid no attention to the lesson at all, pulling out his phone and putting on his earphones. He then opened Bilibilis app and started fervently scrolling through the technology section.
Very quickly, he located the video titled Transdimensional Review! Humanitys No. 1 Most Lethal Weapon!
Tapping into the video, he noticed that, in just two short minutes since the video went live, the statistics displayed below the video had skyrocketed already!
Views: 124,868
Bullet comments: 432
Comments: 305
Likes: 75,263
Shares: 801
Donated Coins: 34,555
Over 120,000 views!
It was obvious that many subscribers had been sitting before their computers or phones, waiting for the video to go live at 9 A.M.
My subscriber loyalty is probably number one in the entire platform, right?
Revealing a delighted smile, Chen Yu refreshed the video page.
Sure enough, the view count had skyrocketed once more!
170,072!
Amazing! Who cares about some comedian named Yidan? Im a technology broadcaster. Can he even compare with me?
After satisfying his frustrated pride, Chen Yu tapped on the play button and started the video.
A second later, the black screen gradually turned white.
At the same time, a tide of bullet comments started flowing across the screen from right to left.
[First!]
[Which one of my sons are you people?]
[First!]
[First!]
[Twenty-eighth!]
[Second]
[Finally, an update!]
[Isnt humanitys most lethal weapon the keyboard?]
[Those watching this video during class, please raise your hand!]
[+1]
[+2]
After the tide of bullet comments came to an end, Chen Yus masked face appeared on the screen. Greetings, my fellow viewers! This is Transdimensional Reviews fourth episode
Chapter 60
Chapter 60 C Sir, Times Have Changed (1)
This is Transdimensional Reviews fourth episode! I am very grateful for the support everyone has shown me thus far! Today, I have brought a slightly special product for everyone.
Extending three upraised fingers to the camera, Chen Yu said, In the first episode, I reviewed a nuclear simulation toy. In the second episode, I reviewed a pair of quantum glasses meant for studying and office work. In the third episode, I reviewed a small item meant for leisurely entertainment. The product for todays review, however, has a qualitative difference compared to the past three products!
The reason being
At this point, Chen Yu opened his hand and smacked his palm on the table before him, saying, Itis a weapon!
It is a firearm possessing great destructive power!
And it is called a gun!
[I think you really lost your mind, UP.]
[69696969]
[The rhythm of your narration is getting better and better.]
[Is your dominant arm itching? ( ????)]
[This is the final episode.]
[Hopefully, theres an opportunity to watch your court session on TV.]
[Visual inspection of a water gun]
After the tide of bullet comments passed, Chen Yu pushed on his mask and continued, In the entire Bilibili platform, no UP would dare personally evaluate firearms. You can think of me as a unique existence. Of course, as a UP bearing the name Transdimensional, this gun Im going to review naturally doesnt belong to our current space-time. It is
Leaving his words hanging, Chen Yu reached under the table and grabbed the heavy and mighty gun. He then set it on the table with a bang, saying, The 404 Heat Ray Gun manufactured by the Kelmei Arms Company!
[What a cool design! I nearly believed you!]
[The Bloodthirsty UP of Bilibili!]
[Damn, this thing looks so real!]
[Its reflecting light! It should be quite valuable!]
[As a blind person, I feel very sad to see this kind of violent video.]
[You actually removed the unboxing session completely?!]
[Can you give it to a subscriber as a gift? I want to play with it]
Slowly stroking the gun barrel, Chen Yu snapped his finger and said, I know, I know. Many of you think that this is just a toy. I know you also think that I am crazy. In that case, lets go straight into the product evaluation segment. I will show everyone the performance of humanitys strongest personal weapon of three centuries in the future!
After saying so, Chen Yu took out from under the table a small steel cage, inside which, a small mouse was scampering about.
Since we are talking about a weapon evaluation, we must have a target. Hence, I caught this big, fat rat from a garbage dump nearby. Ill be using it to display the lethality of the 404 Heat Ray Gun on living creatures.
[Rat lovers express strong condemnation!]
[What a cute little mouse. It will definitely become very lively once it enters the grinder.]
[Jerry? Is that you, Jerry?!]
[Are you trying to make the mouse laugh to death using this gun?]
[Crazy! (Good job!)]
[If this is going to be animal abuse, Im withdrawing. I cant stomach animal cruelty]
After placing the cage on a brick, Chen Yu pulled up the hood of his jacket to cover the sides of his face and ears. He then raised the Heat Ray Gun and toggled the safety switch.
Whoosh
In the next moment, the sounds of machinery moving and electric current flowing were audible. The sights sitting above the gun barrel also lit up. And as if the sights were a translucent screen, various indicators and parameters appeared on it.
[Crap! Are those special effects? It feels so sci-fi]
[The funds are burning!]
[Isnt the quality of this gun a little too much? It cant be real, right?]
[Mouse: What the heck are you playing at?! Wheres the water gun you promised before?!]
Raising the gun and locking the sights on the mouse, Chen Yu pressed his finger against the ring-shaped trigger and said, Before I fire, let me introduce the parameters of this weapon. The 404 Heat Ray Gun functions by firing a high-temperature heat ray. To be precise, it is capable of heating targets by 8,500C to 9,750C per millisecond to a maximum temperature of 12,000C! The heating temperature has exceeded the melting point of all known substances in the present era. The heat ray can vaporize carbon-based organisms instantly as well as instantaneously melt objects with a melting point below 4,300C. In other words
Turning to look straight at the camera lens, Chen Yu continued, In our current year of 2020, there is nothing in existence that can stop this gun! It is truly an invincible weapon!
As soon as he finished speaking, without giving his audience any time to react, he pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Whoosh
A circular structure in the middle of the gun barrel suddenly started rotating.
At the same time, a web-shaped light wrapped around the mouse inside the cage.
As Chen Yu had read the Heat Ray Guns instruction manual, he knew that this was the guns targeting mechanism.
Once locked on, the target had no hope of escape!
Moreover, the heat ray fired would be contained inside the web of light, rapidly raising the core temperature of the target.
Swish Swish Swish
As the circular structure inside the gun barrel spun at increasingly faster speeds, Chen Yu released the trigger.
Buzz!
A red beam then shot out of the muzzle, appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The mouse inside the cage instantly vaporized. Aside from a few wisps of blue smoke, nothing was left of the mousenot even a strand of fur.
Whoosh Whoosh
The circular structure inside the gun barrel slowly came to a stop. Chen Yu then carefully placed the gun on the table and then bent over to pick up the brick that was used to support the cage. Displaying the cage before the camera, Chen Yu pointed at a melted steel bar of the cage and said, Everyone, can you see it? The place the heat ray brushed against melted completely. Its still red-hot even now. Ill use water to validate the temperature of the melted steel.
After saying so, Chen Yu grabbed a bottle of Master Kong brand mineral water and poured water over the cage.
Sizzle!
Steam instantly shrouded the melted steel!
[Crap! Crap! Crap!]
[????]
[What did I just see?]
[???]
[!!!!]
[Is this magic? This must be magic, right?]
[How did you do it?!]
[Mouse: ??? Where am I?]
[My god! Dont tell me this is real]
[Everyone knows that videos cannot be edited, so this must be real. _( ????)_/]
[There are no ashes! Dislike!]
[No need for corpse disposal. This is a must-have product for travel and murder]
A barrage of bullet comments immediately appeared on the screen, covering every corner of it.
Meanwhile, inside a distant hotel suite, the investigation team paused the video that was playing on the TV, and the five members looked at each other with startled expressions.
Among the five, the young man named Xiao Li instinctively moved his hand to touch the small gun holster at his waist.
Gulp.
After swallowing his saliva, which had pooled in his mouth, with great difficulty, he stammered, Lea-Leader, I I think my menstrual cycle is here. Can I take time off from tonights operation?
Instead of responding to Xiao Lis absurd excuse, the middle-aged man leading the investigation team removed his glasses and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. Its a warning! He is warning us! He knows we are looking for him!
Leader, what should we do? the woman standing beside the middle-aged man asked, her expression turning ugly as she looked at the 404 Heat Ray Gun displayed on the screen. With With things as they are, I dont think this is a situation we can resolve by ourselves.
For a moment, silence reigned in the hotel suite.
With trembling hands, the middle-aged man put back his glasses and said hoarsely, Send this video to Beijings teams and have them do an analysis report first. If it is determined that there are no special effects in the video and that the weapon is real, report this matter to the higher-ups immediately. As for ourselves, we will halt all our operations for now and wait for reinforcements. Also, please contact Director Wang of the nearby 377 Armyand make follow-up plans.
Understood! x3
Lets continue watching the video, then.
With an anxious face, the middle-aged man raised the remote control and pressed the Play button.
In the next moment, inside the video, Chen Yu tossed away the damaged cage and lifted the heavy 404 Heat Ray Gun. He then pointed the muzzle at the camera and said, One target is naturally insufficient to prove the power of this weapon. Next up, we will be testing it on more exciting targets
Chapter 61 - Sir, Times Have Changed (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 61 C Sir, Times Have Changed (2)
Next up, we will be testing it on more exciting targets.
With his left hand carrying the 404 Heat Ray Gun, Chen Yu stretched his right hand out of the cameras view and grabbed all sorts of items.
There was a tattered wooden box, a rusty iron frame, a discarded lithium battery, broken pieces of thick glass, and small granite pieces. He then placed these items on five separate bricks.
With that done, he aimed the Heat Ray Guns sights at the wooden box before pulling on the trigger.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
The circular structure in the gun barrel rapidly rotated. And the instant Chen Yu released his finger from the trigger, a red beam flashed before the camera once more!
Poof
The cuboid wooden box instantly vanished out of existence, leaving behind only a few wisps of smoke
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap! This youngster!]
[Crap!]
[You bunch of uncultured swine! Crap!]
[My friends and I are both shocked. My friends and I are both shocked.]
[UP! Youve just paved the way for the military industrys future. ( ????)]
[I dont believe this, I dont believe this, I dont believe this]
[Friend, have you heard of peace before?]
Even after gasifying the wooden box, Chen Yu did not stop his performance. Shifting the gun barrel toward the lithium battery, he pulled the trigger once more.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
When the red beam flashed before the camera, the lithium battery transformed into red liquid without sparks or flames.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
Another red beam cut through space and transformed the rusted iron frame into molten metal.
Afterward, it was the broken pieces of glass and pieces of granite. Neither of these two items lasted more than half a second before liquifying
[I cant hold it in anymore. Let me say this one last time! Crap!]
[Sir, times have changed.]
[Is this the end of an era?]
[Xiao Yan: There must be a heavenly flame in there!][1]
[Im a professional editor. I can guarantee that no special effects were added to this video. I dont know how the UP did it, but he really did instantaneously melted granite.
[Thoughts horrified.]
[I feel that this gun is real]
[Grow some brains! These are just special effects, alright? Theres no way humanity can invent such weapons even after 1,000 years of research, OK?! What a bunch of fools.]
[Ever since my house gained a Heat Ray Gun, the only thing left in it is the Heat Ray Gun.]
The heat given off by the molten liquid pooled on top of the bricks caused the temperature of the warehouse to rise by at least two degrees.
Raising his finger, Chen Yu flipped the 404 Heat Ray Guns safety switch back on. Breathing out a sigh of relief, he placed the gun on the review table and shook his somewhat sore arms. He then faced the camera and summarized his review.
Truthfully, after reading the instruction manual of this weapon, I thought that I had already gained a general idea of the lethality of this Heat Ray Gun. However, after actually using it, I still cannot help but be astonished by its power. So long as a target is within visual range, even if the target is a skyscraper or a military bunker, it can be turned into molten iron with just the pull of a trigger. This weapon is genuinely terrifying. I can only lament that human beings are quite desperate when it comes to seeking methods to destroy themselves.
Moreover, this is only a weapon that came from 400 years into the future. If it is 500 years, 1,000 years, 2,000 years, 3,000 years To what extent will human technological development progress? Particularly, in the weapons department, just how far will humans reach? Everyone, we will wait and see. In the days to come, through product reviews, I will continue letting everyone get a glimpse of the human worlds future.
After saying so, Chen Yu crossed his fingers.
Well, then. This is the end of todays review. I would like to thank the Kelmei Arms Company for providing me with this technological product. From next week onwards, I will start conducting my reviews through livestreams. I will also be evaluating products of much higher technological standards. As for the exact time for the livestreams, please pay close attention to my home page on Bilibili for more information.
We will meet againnext week!
While covered in a tide of bullet comments, the screen plunged into darkness.
The view was over.
After watching his video, Chen Yu exited Bilibilis application in satisfaction.
The review video this time was similarly of very high quality. Notably, after having experienced making several review videos, both his eloquence and rhythm had improved significantly.
Buzz Buzz, buzz
A moment later, Chen Yus phone started vibrating.
Unlocking his phone, Chen Yu noticed that he had received a message from the Transdimensional Marketing Companys salesperson. Immediately, he opened up his chat window with her.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen Yu, you have perfectly passed your probation period. On behalf of the Transdimensional Marketing Company, I have sent you the official partnership application. The new contract has already been delivered to your house, so please inspect it.]
[Chen Yu: But my true subscriber count still hasnt broken through the 50,000-mark. If you pass me now, what about my robot?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please rest assured, Mr. Chen. We are only pre-signing the contract. So long as your subscriber count reaches 50,000 before 9 A.M. next Monday, it will still count toward your probation periods results.]
[Chen Yu: Oh, I understand. Ill head back home to sign the contract now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well.]
Storing away his phone, Chen Yu took a look at his surroundings. He then raised his hand and said, Teacher, toilet.
Sending Chen Yu a glance, the mathematics teacher said, Go ahead.
Thank you, teacher.
Hold up! Why are you bringing your bag to the toilet?
Theres paper in my bag.
Chen Yu! Are you thinking of skipping class again?! Angrily slamming his table, the math teacher said, Dont go too far!
Teacher, what are you thinking? Why would I skip class?
Then why are you carrying your bag?
Fine, fine, fine. Shrugging, Chen Yu placed down his bag. He then pulled out his mathematics textbook and waved it around, saying, Ill just take the paper, alright?
Go. The math teacher shooed off Chen Yu in annoyance. He then turned back to the blackboard and continued writing down mathematical formulas. However, a few seconds later, his body suddenly froze up as realization dawned upon him. He then bent down and removed one of his leather shoes before angrily charging out of the classroom while shouting, Chen Yu! Get the hell back here!!
Chen Yu was wearing the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes. The mathematics teacher naturally couldnt catch up to him.
Moreover, Chen Yu could sense that his physique had transformed. Now, he felt as if he was 10 kilograms lighter than before.
The NE Sodium Gene Agent was finally starting to display its effects.
After just eight minutes of running, Chen Yu had arrived back home. Currently, however, nobody was home.
Mom shouldve gone out to play mahjong again, right?
Ever since he had started earning money through doing video editing work, the economic pressure his family faced had lessened significantly. His father no longer needed to work overtime constantly, and his mother no longer needed to work part-time.
Now, he could be considered to have genuinely changed his family, or at least a part of it
Walking into his room, Chen Yu immediately noticed the white box sitting in his room.
Hurriedly approaching the box and tearing off the seal on it, Chen Yu discovered three items inside the box.
Sitting in the middle of the box was a contract document labeled D-rank Official Product Marketing Contract, on the left was a watch, and on the right was a small, glass ball. Both the watch and the glass ball had an instruction manual prepared underneath them.
Pulling out the two instruction manuals first, Chen Yu quickly realized what the two items were.
The watch was an item named Transdimensional Marketing Companys Custom Personal Terminal. The terminal came with an invisibility function and various other functions. It was mainly used to browse information and operating tools during livestreams.
As for the glass ball, its full name was Transdimensional Marketing Companys Custom Camera. It was capable of doing 360 video shoots, and it came with functions such as night vision, anti-gravity levitation, and optical stealth. It also possessed its own self-encoding function and real-time translation function for all languages. The camera was meant to be used for his livestreams.
Placing down the instruction manuals, Chen Yu picked up the watch and weighed it with his hand. How light.
After carefully observing the watch for some time, Chen Yu wore it on his right wrist. The moment he did so, the watch automatically powered up and texts started flashing on its screen.
[DNA verification in process.]
[Verification successful.]
[Welcome to our companys personal terminal, Mr. Chen.]
[Initializing.]
[Initialization complete.]
[Please select three platforms to livestream from]
After the six lines of text flowed by, the watchs screen displayed the logos of over a hundred livestreaming platforms.
After giving the matter some thought, Chen Yu tapped his finger on three logos.
Chapter 62 - The Opponent Cannot be So Stupid!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 62 C The Opponent Cannot be So Stupid!
After pondering for some time, Chen Yu tapped on the logos of three streaming platforms.
Bilibili, DouYu, and Youtube.
The first two platforms were local platforms, while the latter was the largest streaming platform abroad. From a certain perspective, he could be considered to be simultaneously livestreaming to the entire globe

After browsing through all the available information, Chen Yu turned off the watchs display and clicked on the stealth button located on the watchs left side. Immediately after he did so, he saw the watch becoming blurry before vanishing out of sight completely.
How mysterious
No matter which angle he looked at his wrist from, he could not spot any traces of the watch. However, when he tried touching his wrist, he could clearly feel the watch sitting on his wrist.
Awesome! It would be even more wonderful if it can turn my entire body invisible as well. When going to the bathhouse I wont have to spend money on entrance tickets anymore.
Afterward, Chen Yu picked up the contract sitting in the middle of the box. He then sat before his study table and started earnestly reading the contract, repeatedly reading every line several times.
After reading the contract for half an hour and failing to find any problems with it, Chen Yu placed his signature on the contract.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Here, here, here, here, here! Im here! Im really here! Im always here!]
[Chen Yu: If youre there, just say so. Why the need to go crazy?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Ive signed the contract already. Open up the wormhole.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well.]
As soon as this message appeared, a wormhole formed in the middle of Chen Yus room.
Having experienced this phenomenon many times before, Chen Yu tossed the contract into the wormhole as if throwing a basketball.
[Transdimensional Marketing: I have received the contract. Welcome, Mr. Chen. You have officially become an important partner of the Transdimensional Marketing Company.]
[Chen Yu: I was previously a partner, and now Im an important partner. Whats next?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: After that comes the prestigious partner and VIP partner.]
[Chen Yu: Is there some kind of blue diamond, yellow diamond, black diamond, and etc.?][1]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ???]
[Chen Yu: Forget it, lets not talk about this. When will the product for the first official stream arrive?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We will deliver the review products at 9 A.M. on the first Sunday of every month. You have one month to conduct a livestream review on each official product you receive. We will also conduct an evaluation of your performance once every quarter. If you pass the evaluation, your access level will increase. If not, your access level will be decreased.]
[Chen Yu: Understood. So, Ill be starting this Sunday, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is correct. I will have the product delivered to you at 9 A.M. in the coming Sunday of your space-time.]
[Chen Yu: I have a very simple request! Please get me something that can help conceal my identity! The non-violent kind.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen. We will try our best to apply a product that will be to your satisfaction.]
Turning off his phone, Chen Yu sat before his study table and his mind started to wander.
He thought about what product would be arriving this coming Sunday
He also thought about how he should go about concealing his identity during his livestreams
He then thought about whether the country would use a honey trap to ensnare him once they found out his identity
And when his mind thought of beauties, he naturally thought of the Romantic Partner Simulation Robot he would be receiving once his subscriber count reached 50,000
When he thought about the robot, his thoughts started spreading toward the future
When he thought about the future, he once more started guessing what product he would be receiving this coming Sunday
Like so, Chen Yus thoughts started looping endlessly
Five hours after Chen Yus fourth review video went live, inside the suite of a five-star hotel
The middle-aged man that sat in the suites living room greeted the seven people before him with a nod. Youve suffered. You guys actually arrived so early. I thought you would only arrive at night.
Leader, the task at hand is urgent. We naturally have to act fast wherever possible.
Alright, then I wont waste time on courteous words. Sit. Gesturing the seven people to take a seat, the middle-aged man took out seven folders and distributed them to the new arrivals. Looking at the report Beijing sent in, we can verify that every one of Transdimensional Reviews videos, including the last video uploaded today, are real.
When the middle-aged man finished speaking, silence momentarily filled the entire living room.
The only sound that could be heard now was the rustling sounds generated from the seven people reading their respective documents.
Three minutes later, the seven new arrivals were done reading the documents they received. Seeing this, the middle-aged man pushed on his glasses slightly before continuing, We are dealing with a challenging problem right now. We do not know what the other partys attitude, goals, and behavioral logic are. Although we have narrowed our search down to three suspects in Sixth High, they are, in the end, merely suspects. There is a very high likelihood that these three people are merely a smokescreen set up by the other party. They might even be scapegoats meant to be sacrificed.
Can you let us see the information on the three suspects?
Yes.
The middle-aged man nodded. Xiao Li, who stood beside the middle-aged man, then handed out a new document to each of the seven new arrivals.
Once more, the new arrivals spent another three minutes to read the documents they received.
The biggest suspect now is Year 2, Class 2s Chen Yu, correct?
Thats right.
Looking at his information, it is indeed strange. There are too many coincidences, the fattest man among the seven new arrivals said. There are too many contradictions here.
Continue, the middle-aged man said, gesturing for the fat man to continue speaking.
We are currently dealing with an individual or organization that possesses technology far beyond our current era. Can it possibly be so easy for us to locate the target? the fat man said, a flash of wisdom in his eyes. Not only did we manage to analyze the targets location to be in Jinzhou City, but we managed to pinpoint the target almost as soon as we arrived. This is too fast.
Nodding in agreement, the middle-aged man said, Thats right.
This is too easy. Everything is moving so smoothly to the point of being unbelievable. In fact, we barely mobilized any strength for support. Sneering, the fat man said, There is no way the person or organization behind Transdimensional Review can be so stupid.
Right. Wearing a grim expression, the middle-aged man said, If this UP really is an ordinary student only, it is understandable for him to expose so much information. Even highly intelligent criminals wouldnt be able to avoid leaving behind clues. However, for an individual or organization that reviews highly advanced technology to have so many holes in their actions is simply illogical.
Hence At this time, a woman seated at a side commented, The other party is controlling the direction of our investigation.
The possibility is very high, the fat man said. We should be dealing with a terrifying organization. There is a very high chance that the three suspects we uncovered are merely a smokescreen.
Is there no possibility that the organization in question is intentionally pushing its representative to initiate a partnership with us?
Impossible. The warning contained within the weapon review the other party conducted today is very obvious, the fat man said, shaking his head. Standing up from his seat, he pointed at Chen Yus picture while saying, However, even if this is only a cover, we still cannot let go of any possibilities. We still need to proceed with our investigation.
Hah Sighing, the middle-aged man said, So we still came back to the starting point. We still need to investigate all three suspects. Originally, we were planning to visit Chen Yus house today, but after looking at Transdimensional Reviews weapon video today
Leader, lets continue observing from the sidelines for another day. Well wait until all personnel have arrived before we take further action. Otherwise, the risks will be too high.
We have no choice but to do that
Lanhe District, Chen abode:
Buzz Buzz, buzz
At 4 P.M., Chen Yus phone suddenly started vibrating.
Waking up from his nap, Chen Yu yawned and frowsily picked up his phone. When he opened up his phones screen and saw the content of the WeChat message he received, however, excitement filled him immediately and his sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Congratulations, Mr. Chen! Your subscriber count has broken through the 50,000-mark!]
Chapter 63 - Little Peach
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 63 C Little Peach
[Transdimensional Marketing: Congratulations, Mr. Chen! Your subscriber count has broken through the 50,000-mark!]
Upon seeing this WeChat message, Chen Yus sleepiness vanished utterly.
[Chen Yu: When will you send me my reward?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Can you receive the package in your present condition? If yes, then Ill have it delivered to you right away.]
[Chen Yu: Yes, yes! I definitely can!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are you certain?]
[Chen Yu: Send it! What is there to be uncertain of?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. I will have it delivered to you now. Please get ready to receive it.]
As soon as Chen Yu received this message, a space-time wormhole, which was significantly larger than any of the ones that had appeared before, suddenly appeared inside his room.
Boom!
A gigantic, white box fell heavily onto the floor, the impact causing the entire room to shake as well as send dust and debris flying all over the place.
At the same time, a huge hole had also formed on the floor.
Chen Yu:
[Chen Yu: You destroyed my floor!!!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Ive already repeatedly reminded you and asked whether you can receive the package or not.]
[Chen Yu: But you never said anything about destroying my floor!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Ive already repeatedly reminded you and asked whether you can receive the package or not.]
[Chen Yu: Did you do this on purpose?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
Exiting the chat window in a huff, Chen Yu took in a deep breath as both joy and anger filled his heart.
Ill have to hide this from mom and dad while I find someone to fix the floor
Walking up to the white box, Chen Yu quickly tore away the seal and opened the box. Upon seeing the blue metal box, which gave off a technological feeling, sitting inside the box, the frustration he felt from having his floor destroyed immediately got replaced by feelings of joy and excitement.
My girlfriend
Rubbing his palms together, Chen Yus cheeks reddened as he started thinking of unknown thoughts.
This should be a button, right?
After impatiently sweeping his gaze across the metal box, Chen Yu located a translucent button at the top of the box. Immediately, he pushed down on the button with force.
Beep
Accompanied by a clear, electronically synthesized sound, the metal boxs front cover slowly slid to the left.
Pshh!!!
White mist escaped out of the box as the lid moved aside. And as the gap between the lid and the metal box grew increasingly larger, the figure of a person also started entering Chen Yus view.
Come out, my ba-?!
As the appearance of the figure inside the box grew more apparent, however, Chen Yus expression started changing from excitement, to shyness, to dazed, to consternation, and finally to fear
This Romantic Partner Simulation Robot was actually a two-meter-tall macho man!
Flip!
Suddenly, the muscular mans eyes opened and a pair of black irises stared straight at Chen Yu. His muscles squirming, the muscular man opened his mouth and said, Hello! Mr. Chen Yu, I am your Romantic Partner Simulation Robot! Let us start a wonderful story of love!
Chen Yu: Wheres my knife?
What are you searching for? Do you need my help? the robot asked in standard Mandarin as he stood up from the box.
Wait here for a moment.
Turning around, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and quickly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: Get out here right this instant.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with the model you received?]
[Chen Yu: Satisfied my foot! Why is it a man?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: But you never stated your gender preference?]
[Chen Yu: Its a bloody romance robot! Do I even need to state my gender preference?! Are you stupid?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its a romance robot, not a reproduction robot. Why must you be hung up over gender?]
[Chen Yu: I am truly, truly, truly curious about the culture of you people from the future.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, dont mind too much about genders. If you prefer females, there are replaceable parts available inside the package. You can freely reconstruct your robot to your liking.]
[Chen Yu: I Youre about to lose me. ]
At this time, the robot in question agilely walked up to Chen Yus back and spoke in a gentle tone, Hello, Mr. Chen. Let me introduce myself. My name is Little Peach. May I know if you want me to help you with housework?
Scram! Turning his head around, Chen Yu pointed at the blue metal box and said, Lay back in there! Pretend as if I never opened the box!
Affirmative.
[Chen Yu: Replace it! I want a replacement!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Normally, once a product is delivered, it cannot be replaced with another.]
[Chen Yu: I dont care! This is your mistake! You must change it for me!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, are you really dissatisfied with this product?]
[Chen Yu: Dissatisfied! I want it replaced!!!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: A large space-time wormhole cannot be opened frequently. If you wish for a replacement, we can only send you a new one three days later.]
[Chen Yu: Its fine, even if its three months later! Just take this titan away right this instant!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are you certain you wish to replace it? Why dont you consider it for a while longer? Little Peach will be heartbroken.]
[Chen Yu: To hell with your Little Peach! If you dont bring it away, Im going to become Little Chrysanthemum! Change it!][1]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. I will open the wormhole for you now. Please insert the Romantic Partner Simulation Robot and its slumber pod into the wormhole.]
Placing down his phone, Chen Yu walked up to the blue metal box and looked at Little Peach.
At the same time, Little Peach was also looking at Chen Yu, his chest muscles squirming around
Mr. Chen, are you abandoning me?
Im not abandoning you, Im begging you to spare me.
Is it because I am male? ??? Little Peach asked with an aggrieved expression.
No, no, no. Hurriedly shaking his hands, Chen Yu said, Blame me for not being a female. Go on, you wont gain any happiness with me.
Hah Breathing out a heavy sigh, Little Peach shut his eyes and said, Hopefully, we will have the chance to meet again. Goodbye.
Stretching out his hand and pushing against the metal box, Chen Yu found that it didnt budge even at the slightest. Bro, dont go sleeping yet. Help me push this box into the wormhole first before you get back into it
Gently, Little Peach left, his departure utterly different from his powerful arrival.
Taking a seat before his study table, Chen Yu took out his phone and quickly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: (Automatic Reply) Hello, I am currently unavailable. Please contact me later.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Later.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you have any problems?]
[Chen Yu: I sent it away. Did you receive it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I received it.]
[Chen Yu: This reward is very important to me, so I want to intervene in its replacement personally. Before you send the new one to me, I want to look at the robots external appearance.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well.]
Immediately afterward, Chen Yu received 10 pictures from the other party.
Upon looking at the pictures, Chen Yu instinctively shuddered.
[Chen Yu: I knew it! I knew you would screw me over again! Arent all of these Qiao Biluos?!][2]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Qiao Biluo? Whos that?]
[Chen Yu: I want a beauty! A great beauty! Not a tank!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are all of these simulation robots not beautiful?]
[Chen Yu: Are you perhaps misunderstanding the meaning of the word beauty?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Men should be strong and beautiful, while women should be plump and fair-skinned.]
Instead of arguing with the other party, Chen Yu simply sent her a picture of his schools top beauty that he had secretly taken.
[Chen Yu: I want someone like that.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I dare not agree with such aesthetics. Ancient people truly are terrifying.]
[Chen Yu: Not only are you people from the future frightening, but you are also pitiful.]

Chapter 64 C Trouble Arrives Quickly (1)
The next day, Tuesday:
Like usual, Chen Yu sent his three little sisters off to school while having school bags hung all over his body.
Third Eldest, have fun, but make sure to be careful.
I know. Big Brother, bye-bye.
Second Eldest, make sure to pay attention to class and study properly. If someone bullies you, make sure to tell me.
I know! Bye-bye, Big Brother.
Eldest, no dating, or Ill break your leg.
Hmph!
After receiving her bag, Chen Yike immediately turned around and tried to leave. However, Chen Yu had pulled her back before she could run away.
Eldest, I wont toy with you anymore. I bought you a present.
Saying so, Chen Yu opened his bag and quickly dug through its contents.
I dont need it! Dont even think about tricking me anymore! Those exercise books are already too many for me to finish! Chen Yike said, her complexion instantly changing upon hearing Chen Yus words. She then started running into her middle school with large steps.
Chen Yu:
Slowly taking out an exquisitely packaged crystal necklace, Chen Yu could not help but sigh as he muttered, Hah What a hapless child
Turning away from Chen Yikes middle school, Chen Yu started making his way toward Sixth High with a grim expression.
Someone was stalking him.
This was a warning that the anti-gravity camera gave him.
Moreover, this person had started stalking after him as soon as he left his house.
It was indeed true that Chen Yu was usually very careless in his actions. However, he always had a slight delusion of being persecuted, so he placed doubt on all changes that occurred in his surroundings. This sense of insecurity might be a result of his family having lived in hardship for long periods.
Particularly, after finding out that the government was secretly searching for him, his sense of insecurity had been drastically magnified. Now, he was always in a sensitive state.
Hence, after obtaining the invisible, anti-gravity camera, Chen Yu did not hesitate to use it, setting it to continually hover around him and record his surrounding activities.
Due to this reason, he had discovered the person stalking after him.
The stalker in question was a plain-looking man. The man had a friendly face and steady steps. The man also maintained his pace while following Chen Yu, making sure that the distance between them was not too small or wide. The mans gaze was also never concentrated on Chen Yus body.
If not for the cameras warning function, Chen Yu wouldnt have been able to tell apart this secret agent from ordinary pedestrians even if the man in question was walking right under his nose.
Sure enough, they found me
Ive already hidden my trail perfectly, so how did I get discovered? This doesnt make sense
After restlessly walking past two traffic lights, Chen Yu arrived at Sixth Highs entrance. And when he lifted his head, his entire body involuntarily shuddered.
There were actually two black police vehicles parked nearby the schools entrance!
Wiping off the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead, Chen Yu hurriedly walked into the school compound, afraid to give the police vehicles even an extra glance.
After entering Class 2-2 and sitting down on his seat, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and quickly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: I feel myself getting cold.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Wear long johns.]
[Chen Yu: There are long johns even in the future?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No, but I know your era has them.]
[Chen Yu: Enough with this nonsense, Im being tailed! There are police cars outside the school! I think theyre here to catch me!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please stop worrying.]
[Chen Yu: How can I not be worried?! They even brought police vehicles!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Those police vehicles are nothing. Approximately 37 minutes ago, a tank was even marked in the suburbs.]
[Chen Yu: Im even more worried now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It would be great if you still had the 404 Heat Ray Gun. We could take the initiative to launch an attack.]
[Chen Yu: Big Sis, please shut your mouth. Im badly panicking right now. Can that new product help conceal my identity? Can you send it to me ahead of time?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Logically, that would not be permitted.]
[Chen Yu: Theres definitely a but, right? Lets not talk logic right now!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The reason why our company adheres to the rule of sending products exactly on time is to avoid letting our partners advertise the product ahead of time. This would adversely affect the evaluation others have toward our company. If you can guarantee that, once you receive the new product, not too many people will find out about the products existence, then we can have it delivered to you ahead of time.]
[Chen Yu: Definitely!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: If too many people find out about this upcoming product before 9 A.M. this coming Sunday, you will be deemed to have failed your evaluation for this quarter. Are you certain?]
[Chen Yu: Certain!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. I will have the product delivered to you now.]
[Chen Yu: A question. When you say many people, how many are we talking about?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No more than 100 people.]
[Chen Yu: That wont be a problem, then.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. The product has been delivered to your room already. Please take note to receive it.]
Storing away his phone, Chen Yu swept a glance at the noisy classroom. Seeing as the class had yet to start, he promptly snuck out through the backdoor.
At the same time, inside the Famous Imperial Kitchen
The middle-aged man leading the investigation on Chen Yu was currently questioning the restaurants female manager together with three of his colleagues and two police officers.
That student jumped over a distance of 3.5 meters? Are you sure?
Yes! Im very sure! I remember it very clearly! We even awarded 3,000 yuan to him back then! Shrugging, the female manager said, The world record for long jump is 3.4 meters. We never thought that someone would actually manage to jump across that distance.
Do you have surveillance records?
We have surveillance over the entrance, the cash register, the main hallway, and the second-floor dining hall. The only place we dont have surveillance over is where the long jump activity is being held. As that place is too secluded, the cameras cant get a view of it at all. Otherwise, our boss wouldve long since used it as an advertisement on the internet.
We wish to take the hard drives storing your surveillance data. We will compensate you with entirely new hard drives.
No problem, but that event took place so many days ago. All records of that time are long gone.
We have ways to recover the data, the middle-aged team leader said as he gestured to one of the police officers to go and collect the hard drives. He then continued asking, Its highly unlikely for a person to jump over 3.5 meters. Are you certain he didnt cheat? Or did he step right on the line? Maybe even shifting his foot after landing?
Stunned by the question, the female manager answered, I I dont remember After all, its been so long since that event.
Were there any other diners nearby back th- Before the middle-aged man could finish his question, his satellite phone suddenly rang. Hurriedly connecting the call, he asked, Xiao Li, did something happen?
Leader, the target skipped school again and is currently on his way home. Xiao Li said through the phone. His expression also looks somewhat strange.
Upon hearing Xiao Lis words, the middle-aged mans eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, Give out the order! Have everyone gather in Lanhe District! Were conducting the surprise inspection!
So soon?
I feel that this is a chance! Hurry!
Understood!
Roughly a dozen minutes later, Chen Yu rode his apartments elevator to the 19th floor and arrived back home.
Currently, his house was completely void of people.
Walking straight into his own room, Chen Yu quickly noticed a long and flat box sitting on the floor.
The product for his first official livestream had arrived!
Striding toward the box, Chen Yu tore away the seal without hesitation. Just as he was about to open the box, a warning vibration suddenly came from the invisible watch on his right wrist.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Startled, Chen Yu hurriedly turned off the watchs stealth function and looked at its screen, and displayed on the screen was none other than the scene the invisible camera, which he had left downstairs, was recording.
Currently, numerous police cars were parked at the entrance of Lanhe District, and hundreds of fully armed policemen came walking out of these cars
Meanwhile, walking at the forefront of this small army was none other than the five people he previously met in Principal Pangs office!
What the!?
Chapter 65 - Trouble Arrives Quickly (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 65 C Trouble Arrives Quickly (2)
Chen Yus complexion darkened upon seeing the hundreds of people swarming around his apartment building. Hurriedly, he opened the box before him and looked at the advanced technology inside it.
A door?!
After falling into a daze for a brief moment, Chen Yu hurriedly pulled out the door inside the box and stood it up before him.
The product this time was a jet-black metallic door. The doors surface was smooth and glossy, and there was a dense layer of circuitry engraved all over the door. Even for a 21st century human like Chen Yu, this door looked incredibly retro.
After giving the door a quick glance, Chen Yu bent down to pick up the thick instruction manual sitting inside the box. He then started anxiously reading through the manual.
As time was of the essence, he only focused on reading about the doors introduction and method of operation. As soon as he started reading, though, his expression quickly changed.
This advanced technology was called the Interstellar Portal. It was developed by the Transcendence Group in the year 3766 and made commercially available in the year 3800.
The Interstellar Portal had a built-in space-bending generator and a time stabilizer that allowed it to bend the fabric of space within the gravitational range of a star for short periods. With the Interstellar Portal, humans could freely travel around a solar system.
Even if one wished to travel to Earths moon, they could simply step through the Interstellar Portal and arrive there in the next second.
According to the second pages last paragraph, the product director Kramis heavily emphasized the Transcendence Groups contributions in the study of time.
The reason for this was because the concept of a Space Gate had been given birth to as early as the year 2753. However, due to the intricate connection between space and time, the humans of that time were only able to distort space and were unable to stabilize time. Due to this reason, the conceptualized Space Gate was only considered an incomplete product that would cause the user to lose a lot of time by using it instead of saving time.
Hence, the Transcendence Group believed that the time stabilizer they created was a huge leap forward for the entire human civilizations technology!
And every user of the Interstellar Portal should bear this contribution in mind
After quickly browsing through the first half of the instruction manual, Chen Yu sent it flying to a corner.
The latter half of the instruction manual was basically the Transcendence Group boasting and talking about the companys history, the difficulty of growth, and contribution to mankind.
This thing is good
Very good
Im saved!
So long as I use this door to connect with another room, doesnt that mean that nobody can enter my real room?
While mumbling to himself, Chen Yu opened his rooms wooden door and immediately tried to remove it. However, the door was installed correctly, and no matter how much strength he put into his arms, he could, at most, cause the wooden door to creak; it wouldnt break off from its hinges no matter what.
Bang!
Frustrated, Chen Yu sent a kick at the door, his action leaving behind only a faint footprint on the door.
Are you a goddamned security door?!
Lifting his wrist, Chen Yu looked at the image displayed on his watchs screen. Currently, the group of seven that walked at the front of the army of policemen before had already entered his apartments elevator and were swiftly making their way to the 19th floor.
After anxiously pacing around the outside of his room for a while, Chen Yu smacked his head as realization dawned upon him. Immediately, he dashed back into his room and grabbed the Golden Finger. He then wore it on his middle finger, pressed down on the Power 3 button, and sent a flick at the wooden door.
Bang!
Crack!
The wooden door immediately split in half from the massive force.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Without hesitation, Chen Yu continued sending three more flicks at the wooden door, shattering it thoroughly and sending wooden splinters and sawdust flying all around.
Sending a glance at his watch, Chen Yu hurriedly picked up a broom and quickly swept the wooden blocks, splinters, and sawdust into his room. He then picked up the Interstellar Portal and stuck it against the doorframe. After doing so, he chose to alter the Interstellar Portals shape on the metallic doors retro interface.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, sounds of door knocking came from behind him.
Student Chen Yu, are you home? We are from the education ministry. Why did you not go to school today?
Startled by this situation, Chen Yu anxiously thought about where he should set the Space Folding target to. Where should I choose Where should I choose Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Upstairs! Theres a shut-in living on the 20th floor! Lets connect to his second bedroom! I hope hes in the master bedroom
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Student Chen Yu, are you home? Open the door! Were not here to criticize you! Were here to give you mental support!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Student Chen Yu? If you dont open up, well open the door ourselves!
Outside the security door
Pushing against his glasses, the middle-aged team leader took a step back from the security door while putting his hand on the gun holster around his waist. He then turned to look at Xiao Li, who stood nearby, and said, Open it. Everyone, stay sharp.
Yes, sir!
Everyone promptly answered.
At the same time, the young man named Xiao Li stepped up toward the security door and pulled out a professional lock picking device from his pocket. After inserting the device into the keyhole, he then twisted it with both hands.
Click.
The crisp sound of the doors lock opening appeared.
OK! With a passive expression, Xiao Li cooly waved his hand and said, Its done.
Click.
Another crisp sound entered the groups ears.
Stunned by this situation, Xiao Li tentatively pulled the door. To his dismay, however, the door remained stationary.
Lea-Leader, he locked it again from the inside.
Everyone:
Suddenly, everyone vaguely felt their world view changing
Continue unlocking it! the middle-aged team leader barked with a grim expression.
Understood. Nodding, Xiao Li inserted the lockpicking device into the keyhole once more and twisted it.
Click.
Click.
H-He locked it again
Everyone:
Pull the door the moment you unlock it!
Understood.
Click.
Click.
Everyone:
Leader, its no good. Hes locking the door too quickly. I cant keep pulling on the door either since if I do that, I wont be able to unlock the door.
Unlock it! Keep on unlocking it!
Click.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Everyone:
Leader. Half a minute later, Xiao Li pulled out the lockpicking device. Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, he said, This is too damned unfair! Im getting much more tired than him! Moreover, he can also do double-layered locks!
After pondering with a gloomy expression for a short moment, the middle-aged team leader approached the door and knocked on it once more.
Bang! Bang!
Student Chen Yu, stop playing around. Please open the door.
In response to the team leaders words, Chen Yus voice came from beyond the door. Who are you people? There are no adults at home right now.
We met in Principal Pangs office before. Were conducting home visits to understand the recent education and living statuses of Sixth Highs students. Why did you not go to school today?
The teachers at school dont want to teach me, so I might as well study by myself.
If thats the case, we have an even greater need to understand your situation. Student Chen Yu, please open the door.
As soon as the team leader was done speaking, silence returned to the outside of the security door.
In this situation, the middle-aged team leader exchanged glances with his subordinates. Just as they were about to take a forceful approach, the door suddenly opened.
When the door parted, Chen Yus figure appeared before the investigative teams eyes. Currently, Chen Yu was wearing a pair of glasses while holding onto a middle school English textbook, his appearance giving off an image of an intellectual. After opening the door, Chen Yu leaned half of his body out of the door.
Why are there so many of you here? Chen Yu asked, frowning as he pushed against his glasses.
Reacting quickly, the team leader extended a foot past the door frame to prevent Chen Yu from shutting the door. He then smiled and said, Theyre all my colleagues from the education ministry. Lets talk inside.
So many people Chen Yu displayed a hesitant look at the team leaders words.
Were only here to understand your situation, the team leader reiterated. Immediately afterward, the team leader squeezed his chubby body into the house. The six other people behind him also followed closely after him.
A-Are you people really here for a home visit? Chen Yu hurriedly retreated away from the group, a nervous expression appearing on his face.
Yes. Student Chen Yu, you say that Sixth Highs teachers are refusing to teach you. Is that true? Tell us the details of the situation, the middle-aged team leader said. To make his words sound convincing, he had even pulled out a small notebook from his coat pocket and pretended to take records. His eyes, however, were secretly giving out orders to his six subordinates.
The six other members of the investigative team immediately spread out and started inspecting the interior of the house with camera equipment hanging on their chests.
Wh-What are those people doing?
Theyre only trying to understand your living conditions, Student Chen Yu, the team leader said, casually making up an excuse. He then focused his eyes on Chen Yu and started earnestly observing the latters expressions and changes in his eyes.
Arent you guys just trespassing?!
No, no. Dont be nervous. Lets sit in the living room and talk, the team leader said, his actions making it seem as if he was the owner of the house, and Chen Yu was the guest. After pulling Chen Yu to the living rooms sofa, the team leader asked, Student Chen Yu, how many members are there in your family?
S-Six
What jobs do your parents have?
My mom is temporarily unemployed, while my dad
When the two were conversing with each other, Xiao Li and a police officer approached Chen Yus room. After placing his hand on the doorknob, Xiao Li gradually turned it.
Squeak
The sound of springs compressing came out from the door. The noise was so loud that it could be clearly heard even from the living room.
Including the middle-aged team leader and Chen Yu, everyone inside the house momentarily shut their mouths nervously, their eyes focused onto the door of Chen Yus room. For a moment, the atmosphere inside the house became solemn and quiet.
According to their previous information analysis, this west-facing bedroom on the 19th floor was most likely the background seen in Transdimensional Reviews videos.
As professionals, so long as they entered the room, they would be able to detect even the slightest of clues!
Meanwhile, so long as they discovered a clue
The attitude they took toward Chen Yu would no longer be something as simple as a home visit
Squeak Click.
After twisting the doorknob to its limits, Xiao Li exchanged glances with the police officer beside him. Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, Xiao Li then slowly pulled open the door under everyones anxious gaze
Chapter 66 - Opening Strike
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 66 C Opening Strike
Creak
The creaking sound of the wooden door was particularly harsh in the silent living room.
What are you trying to do?! Chen Yu demanded.
We only wish to take a look at your living environment, Student Chen Yu, the middle-aged team leader said, a dangerous glint flashing across his eyes as he calmly grabbed at the corner of Chen Yus shirt.
As for the four other people in the living room, three of them rested their hands on their gun holsters while one of them held up the communicator in his hand. So long as an incident occurred, he would immediately call for reinforcements from the army of policemen outside.
Meanwhile, after exchanging a solemn look with the policeman beside him, Xiao Li pulled hard on the door!
Creak!
The instant the door was pulled open, the rooms environment became visible to everyone within the house.
However, the moment everyone saw the rooms interior, as if they had just been struck by lightning, everyones mouths fell wide open, expressions of shock and horror appearing on their faces
There was actually someone inside the room!
Moreover, it was a man that was currently changing into womens clothing!
Currently, he wore a pair of stockings and high heels and was in the midst of wearing a skirt. Similarly, he wore an expression of shock and horror as he looked at the group of people outside the room
Xiao Li:
The police officer:
The middle-aged team leader:
Everyone else:
Slap!
After removing the glasses he wore with trembling hands, Chen Yu harshly slapped his cheeks. Lowering his head in pain, he inwardly thought, What the hell
He swore!
Two minutes ago, when he was done activating the Interstellar Portal, the room he connected to was vacant!
However, Chen Yu never imagined that the damned shut-in upstairs would run into his second bedroom within these two short minutes!
Moreover, that damned shut-in was actually cross-dressing!
Curse you and your entire family, you little scum!!
Chen Yu wanted to do nothing more than to cry right now.
This situation was terrible.
It was simply too terrible.
He had thought of many possibilities happening today. However, he never thought that the actual development would run astray in such a way
Mm
After a short yet long silence, Xiao Li was the first person to have snapped out of his daze.
After pondering for a short while, he held up the camera hanging before his chest and walked into the room while pretending as if nothing had just happened. After making a round through the room, Xiao Li gave the shut-ins enchanting figure one last look before silently leaving the room and shutting the door.
As he was a professional, he only needed a few glances to determine that the room he just surveyed was different from the room displayed in Transdimensional Reviews videos.
After all, both the aging wallpaper and dusty floorboard he saw inside the room were not things that could be set up within a short time.
Bang!
Upon hearing the sound of the door shutting, everyone present in the house snapped out of their dazes.
Everyone then focused their gazes onto Chen Yu, complex emotions filling their eyes
Student Chen Yu. Grasping Chen Yus shoulder, the middle-aged team leader hesitated for a short moment before earnestly saying, As a young man You should have healthy thoughts.
Chen Yu:
The taste of youngsters nowadays truly is heavy, the middle-aged team leader said, sighing as he rode the elevator back down to the apartment complexs first floor.
Hearing these words, the other six people inside the elevator subconsciously rubbed their eyes. The scene they saw inside Chen Yus house had significantly impacted their mental state.
Leader, we didnt find any useful evidence inside Chen Yus house. What should we do now? Xiao Li asked hesitantly.
Since all our personnel is gathered now, lets use this opportunity to search Fukuoka Hidari and Qin Shoushengs houses, the middle-aged team leader said as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. After inhaling deeply, he breathed out and continued, The explanations for all of Chen Yus actions are reasonable. He is skipping school because Sixth High is forcing him into sports and also because he can only rely on himself to study. Youve examined his talent in sports as well. His jumping power, reaction speed, and muscle strength are all excellent. He is a natural talent in sports. There are also no signs in his house connecting him with Transdimensional Review. We can mostly remove our suspicion over him at this point.
In that case, should we continue paying attention to Chen Yu?
Of course. Find someone flexible to keep an eye on him for a while longer. Looking at the minute expressions he made just now, I cant help but feel that something is amiss, the middle-aged man said. After taking another puff of his cigarette, he continued, The information gap between Transdimensional Review and us is simply too massive. Were getting played like fools.
Weve tried our best already. After all, this is the first time weve come across such a supernatural event.
Mhm.
Leader, according to what Ive heard from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, quite a few recorded foreign agents have already entered the country.
Mhm. Nodding, the middle-aged team leader spat out a mouthful of smoke and shut his eyes before muttering, What an eventful autumn
At these words, silence returned to the inside of the elevator.
Meanwhile, to the groups ignorance, an invisible, spherical camera was secretly filming them.
Nineteenth floor, Chen Yus house:
Collapsing powerlessly onto the sofa, Chen Yu wiped off the cold sweat formed on his forehead.
The instant the government agent opened the Interstellar Portals door, Chen Yu honestly thought he was doomed. He had even prepared himself to confess everything to get more lenient treatment.
However, Chen Yu never thought that the cross-dressing shut-in would cause everyone to grow awkward and have their thoughts warped. In the end, the government agent only did a brief survey of the room before quickly leaving and closing the door.
Also, the moment the government agent had closed the door, Chen Yu had swiftly and secretly severed the spatial link using his invisible watch, preventing the cross-dressing shut-in from charging out of the room in a fit of rage after snapping out of his daze. Should he allow that to happen, he really would be exposed completely.
Extending his hand, Chen Yu grabbed for the cup of water sitting on the coffee table. After emptying the glass in one big gulp, he raised his wrist and disabled his watchs invisibility function. He then started carefully observing the actions of the government agents.
As the saying went, propriety suggests reciprocity. The other party had gone as far as to send hundreds of people to knock on his door and scare him. It would be inappropriate for him not to pay them back in kind.
Hence, throughout the morning and afternoon, Chen Yu did nothing but observed the national teams every action. And through his observation, he managed to determine the actual number of people working in the investigation group, the responsibilities of each group member, the groups current living quarters, how the group members addressed each other, as well as the groups subsequent plans. He had also found out about the secret codes they used to communicate with each other as well as the color of the underwear they wore.
Theyre going to investigate Third High after Sixth High. Ill take action once they start their investigations! I definitely wont let them catch me this time!
Shutting his eyes and falling into deep thought, Chen Yus mind gradually formed a sinister plan that would paralyze his opponents. And upon developing this plan, the corner of his lips unconsciously lifted up.
After returning to his room and seeing the mess on the floor, Chen Yu felt a terrible headache. He then spent the next hour cleaning the dust and debris inside his room.
By the time Chen Yu was done cleaning, Mother Chen had also returned home. And upon noticing the dirty shoe prints all over the floor, she angrily pulled at Chen Yus ear and yelled, Chen Yu! Why is the floor so dirty?! What did you do?!
Ouch! It hurts! Mom! It hurts, it hurts! Ill clean it up right now!
By the time Chen Yu was done cleaning up the entire house, it was already six oclock in the evening.
All three of his younger sisters had returned home already, with one reciting words, one drawing pictures, and one running around the house while holding a gold-plated feeding bottle. The house was filled with liveliness once more.
Big Brother! Come and play with me! Chen Sanke said as she waved at Chen Yu while holding her feeding bottle.
Pass, Chen Yu answered as he dragged his heavy feet back into his room. He then sprawled himself onto his bed, the only thing on his mind being his sore back.
The events today had truly exhausted him.
Damn it, it seems I was still too benevolent with my previous counterattack plan. I should be a little more ruthless
Chapter 67 - Schrodingers Door
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 67 C Schrodingers Door
After resting for a dozen minutes or so, Chen Yu got up from his bed and picked up the Interstellar Portals instruction manual. He then stood before the Interstellar Portal itself and started carefully reading through the manual.
As he had been in a rush in the morning, he remained unclear of many of the Interstellar Portals functions. Now that he had time, he naturally had to learn more about it.
The Interstellar Portal was a fantastic product. There would be many instances in the future where he would need to use it. He definitely had to gain a thorough understanding of it.
Roughly half an hour later, Chen Yu placed down the instruction manual and called out the Interstellar Portals virtual screen. He then started manipulating it with unfamiliarity.
There were three methods of utilizing the Interstellar Portals space-bending ability. The first method was random. At a glance, this method was obviously used to commit suicide.
The second method was through using specific coordinates, and there were a total of five numerical axes. With Chen Yus current knowledge, just looking at this method gave him a headache.
The third method was positioning. This method suited Chen Yus purposes the most. To put it simply, he simply needed to select the space he wished to connect to using Earths holographic projection.
This process was similar to playing a game. He could freely zoom in or out on the holographic projection. When zoomed out to the maximum, he could even see the solar system in its entirety.
Previously, he had used this method when he connected to the 20th-floor shut-ins second bedroom.
However, according to the instruction manual, every time the Interstellar Portal bent space, it consumed an insane amount of energy. Ordinary nuclear energy battery modules were incapable of sustaining it at all. Therefore, the energy source built into the portal was a basic antimatter destruction battery that could support the Interstellar Portal for a minimum of 100 uses.
Amazing
Compared to an official product, the probation products truly are just childrens toys
The Interstellar Portal was still considered just a D-level product. Suppose he managed to raise his access level to A. In that case, the Transdimensional Marketing Company might really send him a Dyson Sphere
At that time It wouldnt be others scaring him, but him scaring the world instead
After fantasizing for a short while, Chen Yu returned to his senses and slid his finger across the hologram.
In the 21st centurys space-time, forbidden spaces did not exist. Hence, so long as he wanted to, he could travel to anywhere within the solar system.
Whether it was the inside of a bank vault, a military research center, the top of a pyramid, or a female celebritys private house, so long as he could locate it using the hologram, he could travel there anytime he wanted to.
Where should I visit
After browsing through the hologram for some time, Chen Yu found himself feeling slightly dizzy. Picking up his phone, he started searching for isolated places of interest for an impromptu trip.
However, when he opened his web browser, something in the news section below the search engine immediately attracted his attention.
Superstar Concert live in Shanghai! Click here to watch the live broadcast.
Superstar? Chen Yus eyes immediately lit up at this word. He had never once attended a concert in his life. Hurriedly, he started zooming in on Shanghai using the holographic projection.
In less than half a minute, he located the sports arena the concert was held in. He then established a spatial link to the top of the arenas enclosure and opened the Interstellar Portals door
At the same time, inside the Chen familys kitchen, the Chen family was currently seated around the dining table and was about to start having dinner.
Suddenly realizing that someone was missing, Mother Chen angrily smacked the table and yelled, Chen Yu! Why does he always need someone to call him to eat?! Third Eldest, call your big brother to eat!
Mhm! Nodding in response, Chen Sanke left the kitchen while hugging her gold-plated feeding bottle with her left arm and holding her chopsticks in her right hand. She then stumbled her way to Chen Yus room and pulled open the door using her right hand.
[Just because youre so beautiful, baby!][1]
[Just because youre so beautiful, baby!]
[Just because you really are so beautiful, baby!]
Upon opening the door, what got reflected in Chen Sankes black pupils were the figures of men dancing on a stage
Clang.
The feeding bottle fell to the ground.
[You who is heading toward me makes me restless.]
[I have never felt this before.]
Click, clack.
The chopsticks also fell.
[One more look at you and Ill explode.]
[One step closer to you and Ill melt.]
Bang!
Heavily shutting the door, Chen Sanke wore a blank look on her face as she staggeringly made her way to the bathroom. She then picked up her own towel and soaked it with water. Afterward, she awkwardly walked into the master bedroom and laid on her small bed before covering her forehead with the wet towel and shutting her eyes.
Third Eldest? Where are you going? Mother Chen asked when she saw Chen Sanke walking into the master bedroom through the kitchens glass door. Growing suspicious after not receiving an answer, she stood up from her seat, walked into the bedroom, and asked, What are you doing?
Mommy. Pointing at her own forehead, Chen Sanke said, I think I have a fever, do we have medicine?
Mother Chen: ?
Why are there so many people watching this kind of concert? Chen Yu clicked his tongue as he walked out of the Interstellar Portal and arriving back in his room. Shutting the door, he mumbled, I cant believe I wasted my precious energy for this. I wouldve been better off paying Mount Everest a visit.
After disconnecting the spatial link, Chen Yu brought up his watch to look at the time and noticed that it was time for dinner. He then opened his rooms door and entered the living room to see that his entire family was crowded inside the master bedroom. Confused, he asked, What are you guys doing?
Turning around, Chen Yike replied, Third Eldest seems to have caught a fever.
Turning around as well, Chen Erke parrotted, Third Eldest seems to have caught a fever.
Startled by the news, Chen Yu hurriedly squeezed his way into the master bedroom and asked, Mom, how is Third Eldest?
It doesnt seem like a fever, Mother Chen said, frowning. She then used her lips to test the temperature of Chen Sankes forehead before caressing her daughters pale cheeks. She said, She seems to be frightened.
Third Eldest, where are you feeling uncomfortable? Chen Yu also stretched out his hand and caressed Chen Sankes forehead, asking, Do you want to go to the hospital?
Opening her mouth, Chen Sanke mumbled, so beautiful.
Huh?
Time quickly passed by. In the blink of an eye, two days had gone by already.
[Transdimensional Review: Mr. Chen, space has stabilized. I can open the large space-time wormhole now.]
During Thursday morning, Chen Yu suddenly received this message on his WeChat.
Growing joyful, Chen Yu played truant without hesitation, running back home and entering his bedroom.
[Chen Yu: Im home. Send the package over. Ill receive it.]
[Transdimensional Review: The Romantic Partner Simulation Robot is large. Are you able to receive it in your present condition?]
[Chen Yu: Yes. In any case, the floor is already broken. Just smash away.]
[Transdimensional Review: Very well. I am sending it to you now. Please receive it.]
As soon as Chen Yu received this last message, a large spatial vortex instantly appeared inside his room, the space-time wormhole spitting out a large, white box.
Bang!
Both the windows and the floor trembled as the white box landed on the ground. Pieces of shattered wood also got sent into the air.
Ahahaha
This is my moment
With great eagerness, Chen Yu tore apart the boxs seal and removed the lid. He then familiarly pushed down on the button on the slumber pod.
Beep
Accompanied by a clear, electronically synthesized sound, the blue metal boxs front cover slowly slid to the left.
Pshh!!!
As the white mist that escaped from the slumber pod slowly dissipated, a slender and graceful figure dressed in a one-piece garment gradually emerged from the hazy mist.
Chen Yus face stiffened when he saw the person inside the slumber pod, a drop of blood flowing down his left nostril
The robot girls long eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes, her parted eyelids revealing a pair of watery eyes. After quietly looking at Chen Yu for a short moment, the girls rosy lips parted slightly as she said, Hello! Mr. Chen Yu, I am your Romantic Partner Simulation Robot! Let us start a wonderful story of love!
Uh Uh Okay
As if he had just gotten his soul sucked out, Chen Yu dazedly extended his sleazy hand
Chapter 68 - I Can Play Any Role You Love

Chapter 68 C I Can Play Any Role You Love
I am your Romantic Partner Simulation Robot! Let us start a wonderful story of love.
Uh Okay
As if he had just gotten his soul sucked out, Chen Yu dazedly extended his sleazy hand, gradually moving closer to the girls chest.
However, just when his right hand was about to come into contact with the girls garment, the latters hands suddenly grabbed Chen Yus elbow at lightning speed and ruthlessly snapped it!
Crack.
Chen Yus elbow got dislocated.
Lowering his head, Chen Yus eyes widened when he saw his deformed elbow.
Lifting her head, the girl similarly widened her eyes when she saw Chen Yus deformed elbow.
Chen Yu:
The girl:
Chen Yu: Argh!!!
Collapsing to the ground, Chen Yu clutched his right elbow in pain while hoarsely shouting, Argh! It hurts!
Mr. Chen, whats the matter with you? the girl asked worriedly as she stood up.
You Youre asking whats the matter?! You broke my arms!!
This Aggrievedly fiddling with her fingers, the girl said, Who asked you to act untowardly? I cant control myself when the self-defense program activates.
You Youre a romance simulation robot! Why would you need a self-defense program?!
Im sorry! (> 3 <)
The girl pursed her lips, her delicate face so cute that Chen Yu suddenly grew hesitant. For a moment, even his dislocated elbow no longer hurt as much. Instinctively, he stretched out his head to move closer to that white and tender face before him.
Slap!
Thud.
A tight slap then sent Chen Yu slamming to the ground.
Chen Yu:
The girl: Are you alright?
Chen Yus body started trembling slightly in rage. After a short moment, he clumsily sat up and pulled out his phone. He then started furiously tapping on the screen of his phone.
[Chen Yu: Where are you?! Get the hell out of here!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, do you need help?]
[Chen Yu: I want a refund!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are the robots appearance and physique not to your liking?]
[Chen Yu: Its not a matter of appearance! This robot is bugged! It wont let me touch it at all! It even injured me! You guys need to take responsibility!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Why did you try to touch it, Mr. Chen? If you randomly touch it, it will naturally retaliate.]
[Chen Yu: ??? Its my robot. Why cant I touch it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The two of you just met. Isnt it too much of a rush to initiate intimate contact? Your favorability will decrease.]
[Chen Yu: I still need to manage favorability with a doll?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Of course you do. Its a romantic partner, not a love partner. If you two dont cultivate your relationship with each other, how could there be any romance?]
[Chen Yu: ]
Putting down his phone, a dazed look appeared on Chen Yus face. After staring at the robot girl for a short moment, he resumed typing on his phone.
[Chen Yu: Are you toying with me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, is there anything else you need help with?]
[Chen Yu: Can you raise my favorability to the maximum?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: According to the Earth Alliances Artificial Intelligence Rights Protection Law, Chapter II, Article 73, malicious modification of an artificial intelligences thought process will result in a prison sentence of no less than 25 years no more than 50 years. Depending on the severity of the crime, the sentence can even be increased to a minimum of 50 years to a maximum of 120 years.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: A warm reminder, according to the Earth Alliances Artificial Intelligence Rights Protection Law, Chapter I, Article 19, abandoning, abusing, bullying, and insulting an artificial intelligence will be subject to a prison sentence of no less than 80 years and no more than 180 years.]
Looking at the startling numbers, Chen Yu exited WeChat without hesitation. He then placed down his phone and glanced at the robot girl, thinking, Did I just bring some kind of young master home?
Blinking her eyes, the girl asked, Mr. Chen, how may I be of service?
Can you leave?
From the moment I opened my eyes and saw you, I already belonged to you. I will never leave.
Please spare me!
Mr. Chen, are you trying to abandon me? the robot girl asked pitifully.
Startled by these words, Chen Yu hurriedly shook his head and said, No, no! I wont dare to do that!
Her worry transforming into joy, the robot girl elatedly said, I knew Mr. Chen wouldnt abandon me again.
Wait Lifting his head in shock, Chen Yu stared at the girl and stammered, W-Why did you say again?
Because Blushing, the girl said, You abandoned me once before.
???
Im Little Peach! The girl pouted as she stomped her foot, her stomp instantly creating a small crater in the floor.
Ive already said that I belonged to you the moment I opened my eyes and that I will never leave. Hence, I thoroughly replaced my body parts and am finally able to meet you again, Little Peach said happily.
In response, Chen Yus eyes widened in shock, his mind recalling the muscle demons image from before.
What do you think of my appearance now? Do you like it? Little Peach asked as she spread out her arms and turned her body, her long hair fluttering loosely along with her movements. There are still many accessories that came with the slumber pod. I can change into them at will. I have every appearance you like, and I can play any role you love.
Youwait here. I need some time alone.
Turning around, Chen Yu walked up to his window and looked down at the ground 19 floors below in a daze.
A muscle mans soul combined with a maidens body. In that case, was he (she, it) a muscle man or a maiden
****!!!
Chen Yu was going crazy.
Still standing at a side, Little Peach suddenly released two red beams from her eyes, conducting a thorough scan of Chen Yus body.
Mr. Chen, through my analysis, you seem to be injured and in need of prompt treatment.
Snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu pointed at his bent arm and shouted, Isnt this obvious?! Is there even a need for analysis?!
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the pain that he had forgotten before had returned to his mind once more, the pain so severe that his forehead became drenched in sweat. You dislocated it. Hurry up and reconnect it!
Shaking her head, Little Peach said, Im sorry, Mr. Chen, but I am not equipped with a professional emergency and bone reconnecting program.
What programs do you have, then?!
I have a self-defense program, a combat program, a capture program, and a reconnaissance program.
Youre basically a combat robot! Chen Yu bellowed.
I am a Romantic Partner Simulation Robot, Little Peach corrected. She then stepped forward and stared at Chen Yus bent arm, saying, However, although I am not equipped with a professional bone reconnecting program, according to my limited knowledge on humans, I can still handle such a minor dislocation. Its not worth going to the hospital for such a small problem. Its not worth it.
Then what are you still standing there for?! Hurriedly pushing his dislocated arm forward, Chen Yu said, Hurry up and reconnect it for me! It hurts like hell!
Very well. It is my honor to be of service to you, Mr. Chen, Little Peach said with a dazzling smile. She then grabbed Chen Yus arm with her own tender arms and snapped it.
Crack!
Releasing Chen Yus arm, Little Peach took a step back, and with a slightly bewildered expression, she said, Its worth the trip now.
Chen Yu:
Little Peach: Lets go to the hospital.
Chen Yus body started trembling once more
Chapter 69 - I Really am Not Sturdy…
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 69 C I Really am Not Sturdy
Your dislocation is a little severe. Although Ive reconnected your arm, you mustnt be reckless with it.
Inside Jinzhou Citys Second Peoples Hospital, an orthopedic doctor put on a fracture sling for Chen Yu and asked, How did you end up like this? Did you fight with someone?
I fought with a machine, Chen Yu huffed, his anger yet to dissipate.
Ill prescribe two medicines for you. Take them on time and visit me for a review a week later.
Alright, thank you, doctor.
Go on, the doctor said, shooing Chen Yu away. Make sure to properly study. Whats the point of fighting?
After exiting the hospital, Chen Yu pulled out his phone with a dark look on his face before sending a message to the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff member.
[Chen Yu: Can you reclaim that simulation robot?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, what are you trying to do? Artificial Intelligence is different from other advanced technologies. It cannot be recycled, but it can be replaced.]
[Chen Yu: Even if its replaced, itll still be Little Peach, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats for certain. While an AIs accessories and body can be replaced, the AI itself cannot be replaced. Otherwise, you will be violating the Artificial Intelligence Rights Protection Laws Chapter I, Article 19.]
[Chen Yu: But Little Peach is precisely the problem! Its going to get me killed!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, you can educate it. From the perspective of carbon-based organisms, Little Peach is no different than a newly-born infant. It can learn from you.]
[Chen Yu: Learn from me? Doesnt that mean Ill die even sooner?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, you still have some good points.]
[Chen Yu: What good points?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Your self-awareness.]
[Chen Yu: If I wish to file a complaint on you, how should I do so?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Live until the year 4,552 when the Transdimensional Marketing Company is established. Afterward, forward your complaint to the companys main branch located in the Kuiper Belt. My employee number is 23,333.]
Hah
Breathing out a deep sigh, Chen Yu felt his mood becoming even worse than before. Turning off his phone, he immediately started heading back home.
On his way back, Chen Yus invisible watch continuously reminded him that someone was following him. However, he paid the warning no mind as he was already used to it.
After arriving back home and opening the security door, what greeted Chen Yu first was a thick cloud of black smoke!
Chen Yu was immediately started by this situation. Thinking that his house had caught on fire, he hurriedly ducked down and crawled his way to the smoke sourcethe kitchen.
When Chen Yu arrived at the kitchen, he found Little Peach wielding a wok in her left hand and a spatula in her right hand. And using both these cooking utensils, the robot girl made a series of rattling sounds as she tried to stir-fry something in a frenzy. Her actions were so rough that even the metal spatula had become bent.
Approaching Little Peach, Chen Yu gave the robot girl a good look before asking, Are you frying a land mine?
Im making your favorite lunch box for you, Mr. Chen, Little Peach said, smiling sweetly and happily as she lightly tugged at her charred bangs.
Id rather take another slap to the face, Chen Yu said as he turned off the gas stove. He had very nearly broken into tears when he saw the mess Little Peach created. God, spare me. Youve basically torn down the entire kitchen. Ill definitely die once my mom gets home.
Its okay. Hopping to the bathroom, Little Peach returned with a broom and assuringly said, Ill clean it up!
After saying so, Little Peach started sweeping the glass fragments littering the kitchen floor, accidentally knocking over the glass thermos sitting on the kitchen counter in the process.
Clank.
Along with a loud noise, the thermos shattered, and the water inside flowed all over the place.
Huh? Turning her head around, Little Peach wondered, Why is the mess increasing?
His lips trembling, Chen Yu took in a deep breath to calm his emotions. Little Peach, I think you should come out of the kitchen. Lets both calm down and have a proper talk.
Are we talking about love? Little Peach asked as she tossed aside the broom, and abashedly covered her face.
We can talk about anything. Just come out first.
Ok!
In a moment, one man and one robot arrived in the living room. Both of them seated on the sofa and looked at each other.
This is the year 2020, not the future. Everything is fragile in this time period, including me, Chen Yu said as he pointed at his dangling right arm. In the future, you need to be gentler in your actions.
I understand! Little Peach nodded.
By the way, are you male or female?
Service-type AIs like myself are all gender-neutral. We are not categorized by sexuality, unlike carbon-based organisms.
Oh. Rubbing his neck and hesitating for a short while, Chen Yu asked another question, I heard that you can connect to the internet. Is that true? And do you do it wirelessly, or do you need a plug-in interface?
Mr. Chen, the lowest grade of internet I can connect to is the Future Network model. I am unable to connect to the ancient Internet Protocol Suite model. Our base systems arent compatible.
So, you cant connect to the internet?
That is correct.
What do I need you for, then?
Biting her lips, Little Peach said, I am only a Romantic Partner Simulation Robot. I can bring romance to your life. Moreover, the standard of low-grade internet is limited. I can master it through learning.
Stop mentioning romance! There wont be any romance between us in this lifetime! However, it would be great if you can become a programmer. Chen Yus eyes glowed with excitement when he heard Little Peachs words.
Indeed, but I need to learn.
That wont be a problem! In a moment, Ill bring you out to search for a place where you can live alone. Ill then buy you a few textbooks and a computer that can access the internet. You just need to focus on learning programming knowledge. Also, use the chance to learn how to live in ancient times.
No! Little Peach rejected Chen Yus proposal without hesitation. I dont want to be apart from you.
Its inconvenient for you to live here. I still have my parents and three little sisters. There are also people constantly watching my every action. I cant let these people discover your existence, Chen Yu bitterly reasoned.
That wont happen. I have an invisibility function that prevents others from seeing me.
Invisibility?
That is correct. As Little Peach nodded, a flash of light appeared in her eyes, and her entire person instantly vanished
Except for her clothing.
Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu said, What about your clothing?
Rip!
The one-piece garment covering Little Peachs invisible body instantly got torn into pieces.
Its gone.
Chen Yu:
Three seconds later, Little Peachs body reappeared before Chen Yu. Delightfully pinching her waist, she said, This way, I wont get discovered, right?
Mhm Mhm
Noticing Chen Yus straight gaze, the chip in Little Peachs brain performed some quick operations. In the next moment, Little Peach raised her hand and slapped Chen Yu to the ground.
Pervert! What are you looking at?!
Chen Yu, what happened to your arm?
When the Chen family was huddled around the dining table and having their dinner, Mother Chen posed this question to Chen Yu with a frown.
It got dislocated when I was playing ball, Chen Yu mumbled an answer while eating with his left hand.
Did another student bump into you?
No, I dislocated it when doing a slam dunk.
A slam dunk? Lifting his head in surprise, Father Chen said, Not bad, son! Youre actually able to-
Bang!
Before Father Chen could finish his words, Mother Chen slammed her chopsticks on his head, saying, Not bad? Not bad?! Your son got injured to such an extent, yet youre saying hes not bad?!
Its basketball. Getting some minor injuries is very normal. Caressing his aching head, Father Chen looked at Chen Yu and continued, Son, give me a show once youre healed.
No problem.
To think you can slam dunk as well, your talent in sports really is quite good. You definitely follow after me.
Follow after you? Disdainfully clicking her tongue, Mother Chen said, Ive seen you playing football when you were young. You look no different than a frail maiden when you start running. You also fall with the slightest push.
Thats called fake falling! What do you understand? Its a football tactic!
Sure. Taking a bite of her food, Mother Chen said, If only the person that knocked you over wasnt a cheerleader.
Chen Yu:
Hahahaha
Suddenly, cheerful laughter filled the kitchen.
Mom, why are you so clear about this? Chen Yike curiously asked.
Because Im the cheerleader that knocked him over.
Hahahahahaha
Outside the kitchen, Little Peach, who was currently in her invisible mode, wore a look of confusion as she listened to the Chen familys merry conversation.
In the future, with the presence of asexual reproduction, the substantial increase of the human lifespan, and the prevalence of celibacy, the concept of family affection had long since disappeared. One would never find a warm scene like in the Chen family
From ancient times to the future, just what have human beings been pursuing?
At this moment, the chip inside Little Peachs brain was rapidly operating.
Chapter 70 - Where is Everyone?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 70 C Where is Everyone?
Saturday, Jinzhou City, midnight:
The night was dark, and the wind was strong. It was the perfect time to commit a crime.
Both Chen Yu and Little Peach wore dark clothing bought from abroad and were ready to go.
Little Peach, as we discussed before, youll enter using invisibility first. If there is no danger, look at the camera outside and signal an OK. If there are any abnormalities, come back immediately.
I understand, Mr. Chen.
How many times have I told you to call me Chen Yu?
Very well, Mr. Chen. Little Peach nodded. She then activated her invisibility function and vanished instantly, leaving behind only a one-piece dress hovering in mid-air.
Dont tear it! Thats my sisters! Shell kill me if you tear it!
Okay.
After Little Peach took off her dress, she became thoroughly invisible.
Bending down, Chen Yu picked up the dress and walked up to the door. He then started bending space, connecting the Interstellar Portal to the 5-star hotel suite where a certain group was staying.
The link is complete. Pay attention to your safety.
Taking a step back, Chen Yu slowly pulled apart the door before him, revealing a hotel suites living room.
Creak Creak
With light steps, Little Peach slipped into the suite. A moment later, Chen Yu immediately closed the door. He then raised his watch and started earnestly looking at the image displayed on its screen.
After two minutes of waiting, Little Peach removed her invisibility and made an OK gesture to the camera hovering outside the suites window. Seeing this, Chen Yu focused his mind and pushed open the door before him without hesitation. He then stepped across the folded space and appeared inside the hotel suites living room.
Click.
After quietly shutting the door, Chen Yu tossed his sisters one-piece dress back to Little Peach. He then picked up the Interstellar Portal and walked into the middle-aged team leaders bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, the middle-aged team leader was currently deep asleep on his bed, a stack of papers sitting on the bedside table.
Shh.
After signaling for Little Peach to remain silent, Chen Yu carefully slid his finger across the Interstellar Portals holographic projection.
A short moment later, Chen found a suitable location and established a spatial link. He then slowly opened the Interstellar Portal and gestured for Little Peach to help him carry the Interstellar Portal. They then pressed the door down on the sleeping middle-aged man
In the next moment, both the middle-aged team leader and his bedding disappeared, leaving behind only an empty bed.
Success!
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Chen Yu stopped suppressing his voice and did a high five with Little Peach. Thats one down! Now, all we need is to send that Big Sis Wu and Xiao Li away. Well ignore everyone else. Theyre not important, and its a waste of energy.
Alright.
Move out!
Mr. Chen, I have something to say, but I dont know if I should.
What?
Is Is it really fine for us to do this? Little Peach hesitantly asked while pinching the hem of her dress.
Whats wrong about it? If I dont vent some stress, Ill get hemorrhoids at this rate. Whatever you learn from me is definitely correct. You head to the next room. I need to handle something here.
Mhm. Little Peach helplessly nodded. She then took off her dress and entered her invisible mode before heading to another room.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu walked up to the bedside table, put on a pair of gloves, and flipped through the documents. After getting a good idea of the investigation teams current operations and plans, he set aside the papers and stepped through the Interstellar Portal.
Whoosh
After stepping through the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu arrived at an area filled with wind and sand. The time here was roughly four or five in the afternoon, and the sky was still very bright.
Currently, the middle-aged team leader remained asleep while covered by his blanket.
Lifting his head, Chen Yu noticed that there was a small village some distance away. He then took out a small recorder he purchased abroad set the timing for it to play. Afterward, he tossed a mobile phone, which he had grabbed from the bedside table, beside the middle-aged man, before turning around and leaving through the Interstellar Portal.
Whoosh Whoosh
Amidst the flying sand, the Interstellar Portal swiftly disappeared
[Tunak tunak Tun, Tunak tunak Tun, Tunak tunak Tun, Da Da Da!]
[Tunak tunak Tun, Tunak tunak Tun, Tunak tunak Tun, Da Da Da!]
[Dholna, vaje tumbe val taar]
[Soode dil de pukar]
A strange melody entered the middle-aged team leaders ears, the song gradually waking up the man from his slumber.
[Dholna, vaje tumbe val taar]
[Soode dil de pukar]
Abruptly sitting up and opening his eyes, the middle-aged team leaders neck stiffened as he looked at his surroundings in astonishment.
Currently, surrounding him was a group of black people that had painted faces and clad in fur. There were both men and women, young and old among the group, and every one of these people were staring at him with strange gazes.
This This Where the hell is this place?!
And who are you people?!
[Dholna, vaje tumbe val taar]
[Soode dil de pukar]
[Tunak tunak Tun, Tunak tunak Tun, Tunak tunak Tun, Da Da Da]
Turning off the playing recorder with a forceful push, the middle-aged team leader nervously stood up and executed a standard military bearing. He then slowly backed away as he repeated, Who are you?
?????????
Afroasiatic languages? The middle-aged man gradually calmed down upon hearing the other party speaking. After remaining silent for a short moment, he spat out a single word, ????????
The other party clearly did not understand the middle-aged team leaders wild Arabic. Hence, one of the slightly taller black men stood forward and asked in English, Do you speak English?
Yes! Where is this?
Africa.
Africa?! The middle-aged man grew startled at this revelation. Why am I in Africa?!
Are you Chinese?
Although the black man was still asking questions, the middle-aged team leader no longer had the energy to answer.
After pacing around for a short while, the middle-aged team leader picked up the satellite phone Chen Yu left for him and hurriedly dialed a number.
Beep
Beep
Hello?! Xiao Li?
Leader! Its me! I was just about to call you!
When the call connected, Xiao Lis crying voice came from the other end of the receiver.
The middle-aged team leaders heart trembled upon hearing Xiao Lis voice. Sensing a bad premonition, he asked, Did you get abducted as well?
Lea-Leader, yougot abducted as well?
Mhm, the middle-aged man answered, gritting his teeth. Where are you now?
I I think Im in Siberia You?
Im in Africa.
The two people remained silent for some time, both of them at a loss for words.
Leader, this Just what is going on?
It is definitely Transdimensional Reviews doing! the team leader said, a hint of fear spreading in his heart.
In just a few short minutes, and at most, a dozen minutes, Transdimensional Review had relocated him from Jinzhou City to Africa
Just what kind of godly powers were required to accomplish such a feat?
If the other party was capable of bringing him to Africa, they could naturally send him to the Atlantic Ocean next time
Leader Crying for real this time, Xiao Li asked, Just what kind of existence are we investigating?
Calm down, Xiao Li. Are there any people near you?
Yes. Theres a small village nearby.
Theres one on my side as well. It doesnt seem like the other party intends to harm us. Theyre just giving us a warning. This matter is too terrifying. We must notify the higher-ups as soon as possible!
Bzzz
At this time, another person interrupted the satellite communication between the two of them.
After connecting the incoming call, the middle-aged team leader quickly heard Big Sis Wus trembling voice coming from the receiver, Lea-Leader, I got
Xiao Li and I got abducted. Im in Africa, and Xiao Li is in Siberia. Where are you? Are you in danger?!
After a moment of silence, Big Sis Wu said, Im in the White House.
The middle-aged team leader:
Xiao Li:
Inside the Presidents bedroom, Big Sis Wu added.
The middle-aged team leader:
Xiao Li:
Chapter 71 - Livestream Review! Begin!
Mr. Chen, based on what Ive learned on the internet regarding international relations, isnt it dangerous for you to do this? Little Peach asked worriedly as she stepped through the Interstellar Portal and arrived back in Chen Yus room.
This is a strategy, understand? Have you read Chen Yus Art of War before? Chen Yu said as he shut the door and disconnected the spatial link. Turning around, he continued, If I dont display my abilities, how can I possibly scare anyone? Compared to hiding my capabilities, it is much better to make the other party fearful of me. Moreover, there are definitely many people targeting me. I have to let them know that just because I am hiding doesnt mean they can have their way with me! This is my great wisdom. You should study it well.
Isnt it Sun Tzus Art of War? Little Peach asked timidly.
Is Sun Tzu better than me? Chen Yu asked back. Read more books. You barely know anything. Oh, right, didnt I tell you to learn to program? What are you learning about international relations for?
I have been studying computer technology. Raising her head, Little Peachs red lips curled up slightly as she boasted, Ive even helped you suppress a keylogger virus installed on your laptop.
A virus?
Thats right. It was hidden quite deeply. Those people observing you mustve introduced it through your IP address.
When did it happen? Chen Yu asked with a stern expression.
This afternoon.
You didnt delete it, right?
No, I merely suppressed it. No matter what you type on your keyboard, the virus wont record it. If I deleted it, wouldnt I be alerting the enemy?
Nicely done!
Upon hearing Little Peachs answer, Chen Yu could not help but give her a thumbs up. At the same time, he also could not help but admit that Little Peach was indeed a technological product of the future. There was bound to be a place he could make use of her.
Hehe. Covering up her face in joy, Little Peach said, Favorability plus 10.
What did you say?
I got praised, so favorability plus 10.
What is favorability for?
Ill do shameful things with you once it reaches 80 points. Lowering her head shyly, Little Peach continued, If If it becomes full, Ill even take the initiative~?
Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Yu instantly recalled Little Peachs frightening strength. With a blank face, he asked, How much is the full value?
One hundred.
How many points do you have now?
Fifteen.
After remaining silent for a short moment, You idiot!
Little Peach instantly became stunned by Chen Yus words.
You idiot! Chen Yu repeated. He then asked, Did your favorability drop?
It dr-dropped
You big idiot! Did it drop again?
Y-Yes
Just earnestly work for me! Strive for me! I will never do that kind of thing with you! How many points do you have left?
Four.
Mhm. Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Yu said, Continue learning. Im going to sleep.
Little Peach:
Letting out a yawn, Chen Yu pulled out his phone to look at the time. He then removed his coat and climbed onto his bed.
As for Little Peach, she tugged at the hem of her dress aggrievedly before sitting down at the desk to learn programming techniques.
Oh, Mr. Chen, your school will be hosting a sports festival tomorrow. Do you need me to wake you up?
My arm got dislocated, thanks to you. Why would I bother participating in that sports festival?
Hehe! I am only doing what I should, Little Peach said, blushing. Favorability increases by 10 points.
Im not praising you!
The next day, 9 A.M.:
Carrying four bags filled with snacks, Chen Yu led his three younger sisters to Sixth High.
As the sports festival had already begun, Sixth Highs field was extremely lively.
Chen Yu!
Shortly after the Chen familys four children walked through the front gate, an angry voice suddenly came at them from a distance, You dare show yourself here?!
Turning toward the voice, Chen Yu discovered that it was Niu Lanshan shouting at him. Immediately, he greeted the latter, Good morning, teacher.
Chen Yu! The competition started already! Why did you only show up now?! You even turned off your phone! What are you trying to do?!
Arent I here already? Teacher, you should keep your voice down. Dont scare my little sisters, Chen Yu said. He then turned toward Chen Sanke and patted her head, asking, Did you get scared?
While sucking on her feeding bottle and chewing on a small biscuit, Chen Sanke replied in a childish tone, I got scared.
Taking in a deep breath and suppressing his rage back into his chest, Niu Lanshan said, Stop talking nonsense. Follow me to get changed into your sports uniform. The 100-meter sprint is coming up soon.
I cant run. Instead of wasting time with words, Chen Yu pulled out the medical record he got from the Second Peoples Hospital from his schoolbag and said, I have an arm injury. I cant exercise.
Chen Yu! Do you take me for a fool?!
If you dont believe me, visit the hospital with me. Youll know whether Im lying or not.
Niu Lanshan immediately shuddered at Chen Yus words, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Chen Yu.
If theres nothing else, Ill be leaving with my sisters. Goodbye, teacher.
Delightfully patting his injured right arm, Chen Yu turned around and brought his three little sisters to an empty corner to watch the sports festival.
Big Brother, you bought so many snacks. How much did it cost? Chen Erke asked as she picked up a bottle of iced black tea, and hesitantly opened it.
It didnt cost much. Caressing Chen Erkes head, Chen Yu said, Although our family isnt rich right now, we dont lack any money for food and drinks. Big Brother can earn money now, so eat as much as you want! Eat until you become a big fatty! You can take more hits that way.
Chen Erke:
Pinching her forehead, Chen Yike said, Brother! What are you saying?!
Casually pulling out a sausage and two marinated eggs, Chen Yu pushed them into Chen Yikes hands and said, You eat up as well. Eat until you become a fatty so that you wont be able to get married anymore.
Chen Yike:
Big Brother Putting down her gold-plated feeding bottle, Chen Sanke dazedly stared at the highschoolers running on the field and asked, Wont they get tired?
Thats for certain.
What will they get for running around like that, then?
Arthritis, I guess, Chen Yu mumbled while chewing on some potato chips.
Chen Yike:
Chen Erke:
The next day, Sunday, 8.50 A.M.:
After putting on the haori[1] he had bought from Japan, Chen Yu handed a mask to Little Peach.
In response, Little Peach received the mask and wore it on her face. In addition to the mask, Little Peach currently wore a red cheongsam, which clearly emphasized her tall and devilish figure.
From now onward, you are a member of my Transdimensional Review team. You will be responsible for being my assistant.
It is my honor, Mr. Chen.
Make sure not to say my real name when in front of the camera, OK?
What should I call you?
Call me King, then.
King Then?
King! No then!
I understand, my King!
You should just call me that during normal times as well. Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. He then walked up to the Interstellar Portal and searched for his upcoming livestream venue.
Oh, right. While searching for a venue, Chen Yu suddenly smacked his head and said, Little Peach, during the livestream, its best if you pretend to slip up and call me Wang Chun[1].
Why?
A smokescreen, Chen Yu said, smirking. When the time comes, even if those people know that you did it on purpose, they would still need to search for everyone named Wang Chun, which will undoubtedly increase their workload.
Understood!
In that case, lets set off for greatness!
With a wave of his hand, Chen Yu pushed open the Interstellar Portal and stepped through it, with Little Peach following closely after him.
On the other side of the portal was a deserted beach, the salty sea breeze here causing Chen Yus haori to flutter.
Boom!
Shutting the door, Chen Yu slid his fingers through the Interstellar Portal holographic interface and altered the portals external appearance.
He definitely couldnt present the Interstellar Portal in the form of an ordinary wooden door. So long as he livestreamed the portal in this form, the special agents that visited his home before would definitely connect the dots. He definitely had to present the door in a form so unique that others would not be able to relate it to the ordinary door used for his room.
As a result, a metallic door that gave off a technological feeling and was five-meter-tall and three-meter-wide appeared on the beach.
Looking at it from a distance, it honestly did look like those interstellar portals found in science fiction movies!
That should be about right.
Straightening his back, Chen Yu took a deep breath. He then looked at Little Peach and asked, Are you ready?
Im ready, my King.
In that case, let the livestream begin.
Chapter 72 - Shocking First Livestream! (1)
Chapter 72 C Shocking First Livestream! (1)
In that case, let the livestream begin.
Raising his watch and canceling its invisibility, Chen Yu stood before the massive steel door and quietly waited for 9 A.M. to arrive.
Its eight fifty-nine. Lowering his watch and putting on his opera mask, Chen Yu turned to look at Little Peach and asked, Can you step back a little? Give location C to me.
Oh.
Hurriedly, Little Peach hid behind Chen Yus figure.
Once the livestream begins, unless I try to interact with you, dont speak up on your own.
Understood.
Find an opportunity to slip up and say Wang Chun to the camera.
Understood.
Also, do you understand what is your most important duty today?
To begin a wonderful romance with you, Little Peach said delightfully.
Nonsense! Your most important duty is to protect me!
Understood.
Its nine. The livestream is beginning. Dont speak anymore.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu directed the camera toward himself and altered his voice using his watch. He then initiated the livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili site activation complete.]
[DouYu site activation complete.]
[Youtube site activation complete.]
[Total viewer count: 0]
Five lines of text appeared on the watchs screen. A moment later, the viewer count started rapidly increasing.
2,770.
8,265
In less than half a minute, the total viewer count in the three livestreaming rooms had reached five digits, the achievement netting Chen Yu one point.
Naturally, the majority of these viewers came from Bilibili. These viewers could be considered the foundation Chen Yu had established for himself during his probation period.
[Grandpa! The UP youre following has uploaded a new video! Ah, no, hes livestreaming!]
[Is it finally time for livestreams?]
[Support, support, support!]
[First!]
[First]
[Crap! Whos that beauty wearing the cheongsam?! Her figure is simply terrifying]
[UP, youre doing quite well, huh? You actually got yourself a female assistant?]
[Youre livestreaming already, so do a face reveal!]
[I detest those that get a female secretary just because they have a little fame the most. Im unsubscribing.]
[This body Tsk, tsk, Im done.]
[The image is so clear!]
[Is that arch behind a prop? It looks so amazing!]
[My sanity is burning!]
[UP, can you step aside? Youre blocking my view.]
[With that kind of explosive body, that assistant is definitely male]
After glancing at his watch and briefly reading through the bullet comments, Chen Yu slightly pushed on his mask and said, Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms. Thank you for your continued support. Now, lets not beat around the bush and let the review begin!
After saying so, Chen Yu turned sideways and pointed at the steel arch behind him, introducing, Everyone should be able to clearly see the giant metal door behind me. It, is todays advanced technological product for reviewthe Interstellar Portal!
[69696969!]
[Spread the flowers! Colonization of the Milky Way is just around the corner!]
[The items being reviewed are getting increasingly exaggerated. Are you reviewing a spaceship next?]
[There wont be any special effects in a livestream. UP, without special effects, your livestream wont be realistic.]
[City Management: Who set up a door here?!]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu continued his introduction. The Interstellar Portal is an advanced technology developed by the Transcendence Group in the year 3766 and made commercially available in the year 3800. The Interstellar Portal has a built-in space-bending generator and a time stabilizer that allows it to bend the fabric of space within the gravitational range of a star for short periods. With the Interstellar Portal, humans could freely travel around a solar system. Whether it is the Kuiper belt or the core of the Sun, so long as it is within our solar system, we can reach it within a second!
After saying so, Chen Yu approached the portal while being followed by the invisible camera. He then stretched out his left hand, covered by a black glove, and touched the giant door before him. Its appearance had transformed the way humans conducted war, lived, and traveled. It had also changed the scientific research and culture of humans. Since its appearance, the cost of traveling within the solar system no longer became a problem. Delivering items also no longer needed a lot of time. The Interstellar Portal is truly an epoch-making technology!
[And then house prices crashed.]
[So this thing needs to be destroyed!]
[If we open a portal to the bottom of the ocean, wont we be able to destroy humanity?]
[Can you stop talking? Im here to look at the beauty, not listen to your boring speech.]
Looking at the feedback comments displayed on his watch, Chen Yu shook his head and continued, Space is very complex. It is far from being as simple as you and I think. Let alone opening a portal to the bottom of the ocean, even opening a portal in outer space wont be a problem. According to the instruction manuals introduction, when two unconnected spaces are bent and connected with each other, the D.V. Hedging effect will occur, generating a thin film between the junction of the two spaces. This thin film will then prevent the flow of materials beyond the Interstellar Portals limits.
To put it simply, people, cars, and cargo can pass through the Interstellar Portal. However, if we try to open a portal inside the Sun from Earths surface, due to the great differences between the two spaces, the film will prevent all materials from flowing through it. The temperature and pressure of the Suns core wont be transmitted to Earth. This is also the case with the high-pressured seawater found at the bottom of the ocean.
[I dont quite get it, but it sounds cool]
[I dont understand.]
[Speaking nonsense in a serious tone?]
[Are there any professionals in the livestream room? Time to embarrass the UP.]
[Just arrived. Which one is the host?]
[Notice: Wild Rogue gifted you an Airplane!][1]
Seeing the donation notification displayed on his watch, Chen Yu waved his hand at the camera and said, Thank you for the donation, brother. However, I dont recommend anyone to donate to my livestreams. Save that money to better your living standards. Moreover, I will donate all proceeds I earn from my livestreams. Alright, lets dispense with the nonsense. Now that the product introduction is complete, let us begin the actual review.
After saying so, Chen Yu made a gesture to Little Peach. In response, Little Peach approached the Interstellar Portal and called out the holographic image of Earth. She then asked, Where do you wish to go, my King?
The first stop, the Sahara Desert!
Understood!
After nodding heavily, Little Peach started manipulating the holographic globe.
[Crap! Is that an AR projection?!]
[Real-time special effects?]
[I think I just discovered something amazing]
[Big production!]
[So, the UP is actually called King? Im angry.]
[It lit up! The arch lit up!]
[A desert appeared behind the door?!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap?!]
[What the hell is this?!]
[???]
[?????]
[???]
[This real-time special effect is incredible!]
[Crap]
Shortly after the Interstellar Portal activated, the number of bullet comments appearing on the screen started decreasing. It was evident that the majority of the audience had forgotten to type out of shock. Even the remaining several dozen bullet comments were only made up of [Crap] and [???].
What kind of image was this?
On a sandy beach beaten by waves, there stood a gigantic, metal arch! Meanwhile, inside the arch was actually an endless desert trapped in darkness
This kind of time, spatial, and environmental distortion thoroughly shocked every viewer watching the livestream.
Everyone knows that the Earth is round, so there will be a difference in time depending on where you are. Where I am in China, it is currently nine oclock in the morning. In that case, it should still be before daybreak in the Sahara Desert.
Clap, clap.
As Chen Yu clapped his hands, a piece of lively background music started playing in the livestream.
Turning around, Chen Yu walked up to the arch and said, I know that many people still think that this is merely a special effect, or that this portal is just a big screen. I always believe that facts speak louder than words. So, open your eyes and prepare to witness a miracle!
After saying so, along with the rhythm of the music, Chen Yu started stepping into the arch!
Chapter 73 - Shocking First Livestream! (2)
Chapter 73 C Shocking First Livestream! (2)
Facts speak louder than words. So, open your eyes and prepare to witness a miracle!
After saying so, Chen Yu stepped into the arch along with the rhythm of the music!
In an instant!
The Sun and Moon switched positions, and the mountains and seas were replaced!
The audience watching the livestream only saw a bright flash before the world displayed on their screens turned into a dark desert filled with howling wind and sand!
Meanwhile, depicted inside the arch behind Chen Yu was the scene of waves hitting a white, sandy beach
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[I became uncultured again]
[Awesome! Awesome!]
[What a shocker. How did he do it?]
[Impossible!]
[Is this magic?]
[The heavens will not tolerate it if this UP doesnt become popular!]
[Are the real-time special effects nowadays so amazing?]
[This definitely isnt special effects! Im specialized in this field!]
[My mom is asking me why Im crouching down while watching the video.]
Bending down, Chen Yu grabbed a handful of fine sand before letting it scatter before the camera.
Whoosh
A night breeze sent the fine sand flying away, the breeze also causing Chen Yus haori to flutter.
This, is the Sahara Desert. Formed roughly seven million years ago, it is the largest sandy desert in the world. It covers a massive nine million square kilometers and is located north of Africa.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu recited the script he had previously memorized. One place is in Asia, while the other is in Africa. Tens of thousands of kilometers separate both places. Even if you travel by plane, after including transit times, itll take you roughly 15 to 20 hours to cross such a distance. Transporting cargo across such a great distance will take even longer and cost even greater. However, with the Interstellar Portal, you only need one second to travel between these two places! With the Interstellar Portal, the world is but a little place!
And this, is the charm of technology. After saying so, Chen Yu took several steps back. He then turned to Little Peach and said, Next location.
Understood, Little Peach replied. She then walked up to the arch and said, Wang Chun- Ah, no, King! Where are we going next?
Nicely done! Chen Yu inwardly praised Little Peachs acting skills. On the surface, though, he maintained a passive expression as he said, The Sahara Desert is very large. There are definitely still people that dont believe this is the Sahara Desert. No matter. Well travel to a more memorable location nextthe Himalayan Mountains! To the peak of Mount Everest!
The peak of Mount Everest?
Yes, the peak of Mount Everest! Stop asking nonsense!
Understood!
Little Peach nodded before manipulating the Interstellar Portal.
Meanwhile, the livestreams bullet comments also burst into an uproar!
[Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!]
[Ive never admired anyone in my life before, but now Ill admire you!]
[If you really appear at Mount Everests peak, Ill donate a rocket!]
[Oh! My! God!]
[Chinese magic?]
[UP, you cant be serious, right]
Bzz! Bzz, bzz!
At this time, Chen Yus watch suddenly vibrated. Taking a look at it, he saw that he was receiving a video call from Bilibilis platform. Meanwhile, the callers ID was Bilibili Livestream Official.
Lifting his brow, Chen Yu sent a glance at the camera before connecting the call.
Hello, I am an official customer service staff from Bilibili. Can you hear my voice?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded. What do you want?
Its like this. As your livestream contains harmful content, on behalf of Bilibili, I am notifying you that your livestream needs to be reviewed. Please turn off your livestream as soon as possible and cooperate with our work, thank you.
[Is he nuts? How is there a problem with this livestream?]
[Is the livestream over?]
[Moderator! Go to hell!]
[I smell a conspiracy]
[Did you anger the city management by randomly building an arch?]
[Quick, look at the portal! The view inside turned into a snowy mountain!]
[Crap!]
[God, damn! This portal cant be real, right?]
[King! The spatial link is complete! Little Peach announced.
Good. Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction when he saw the change in scenery inside the portal. He then said, Moderator, you say that my livestream contains harmful content. Where is this harmful content exactly?
After a moment of silence, a voice came from the watch, The female broadcasters attire is too revealing.
Oh~ Behaving as if realization had dawned upon him, Chen Yu gave Little Peach a thorough look before saying, The slit only extends up to her kneecaps. Can you find an even more conservative cheongsam than hers?
Transdimensional Review, please turn off your livestream immediately. You may only resume livestreaming once your content is reviewed.
May I know how you are going to review it?
Well have a face-to-face talk and discuss what content will be allowed in your future livestreams.
Understood. Pushing against his mask slightly, Chen Yu said, Allow me to refuse.
What?
Allow me to refuse your request to stop my livestream, Chen Yu said as he cooly swept up his haori. He then slowly paced toward the Interstellar Portal while saying, Stop my livestream if you can. If not, then be a good boy and watch whatever I stream. Goodbye.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned off the video call.
[]
[]
[Amazing]
[So cool!]
[How imposing!]
[Youre the most arrogant livestreamer in history!]
[Stop the stream if you can. Stop farting from your mouth.]
[UP, is Kakarot backing you?]
[How bold!]
[Its over. UP is going to get banned]
[Notice: Im Pregnant With Your Child has gifted you three Airplanes!]
[Notice: Unreachable Daddy sent out an Airdrop! Everyone, come get it quickly!]
[Notice: Solo Carry has gifted you an Airplane]
Amidst the torrent of bullet comments, Chen Yu stepped into the Interstellar Portal.
Once again, the Sun and Moon changed positions!
The scenery as well had transformed completely, changing from an endless desert to the peak of a snow-capped mountain!
Currently, surrounding Chen Yu was the clear blue sky, and hovering beneath him were white fluffy clouds. At the same time, the howling of icy winds was ever-present around him. Directing his gaze to the distance, all he could see was a curved and fuzzy line in the distant horizon
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Im going crazy]
[Go crazy on your own time! Maintain order! Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap]
[My world view has just collapsed. Dont tell me this is a magic trick or special effect as well?]
[I can already tell since the last episodes 404 Heat Ray Gun! Its real! Everything is real!]
[Im stepping away. I need to calm myself with some mature videos.]
[Doesnt that beauty feel cold?]
[UP, even if you go to outer space, I still know youre fake! Ive learned mathematics, physics, and chemistry!]
[How beautiful]
[Im from the SCP Foundation and I have something to say Crap!]
Despite the eruption of bullet comments, Chen Yu paid them no attention. After all, he was feeling extremely light-headed right now and his vision even blacked out for a brief moment, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Careful!
Startled by this situation, Little Peach hurriedly stepped forward, her figure transforming into a blur as she grabbed at Chen Yus haori, stabilizing him.
Cough Cough, cough
Squatting down on the snowy ground, Chen Yu dry-heaved for a moment. Only after some time had passed did he recover from his light-headedness. However, when he tried to lift his head again, the world around him started spinning again.
The atmospheric pressure I actually forgot about the problem of atmospheric pressure Cough, cough.
Shaking his head, Chen Yu started taking in large breaths of air.
Mount Everest was over 8,800 meters tall and the atmospheric pressure at its summit was only at 38kpa. That was less than half of the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Despite having injected himself with NE Sodium Gene Solution, which greatly enhanced his physical body, Chen Yu still ended up in such a miserable state. Without the gene injection, he mightve died as soon as he arrived here.
King, are you alright? Little Peach asked. Despite wearing only a thin cheongsam, she did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort while being battered by the cold wind.
Im fine. Cough, cough
With Little Peachs support, Chen Yu eventually staggered to his feet.
He knew he had gotten too full of himself.
Without knowledge, one cannot be brave.
If not for Little Peachs existence, he could easily imagine himself losing consciousness and rolling down the mountain. He would then shatter into pieces before the eyes of tens of thousands of viewers
Cough Enough. No need to support me.
Rubbing his swollen temples, Chen Yu took in a breath of cold wind and said, Sorry, there were some small errors just now that affected the show. However, everyone need not worry. The review will cont-
King. At this time, Little Peach suddenly interrupted Chen Yu, saying, Look below.
Doubtfully turning around, Chen Yu looked at the direction Little Peach pointed at. Immediately, what he saw shocked him!
There was actually a group of climbers not far below them, and these climbers were currently looking at them in horror
Chapter 74 - Shocking First Livestream! (3)
Chapter 74 C Shocking First Livestream! (3)
Amidst the cold wind howling at Mount Everest, the blood pressure of Chinas national mountaineering team soared as they gazed at the huge and majestic arc sitting at Mount Everests summit
A-An illusion?
While firmly holding the ice pick in his left hand, the mountaineering teams captain, Wang Fuzhou, rubbed his snow goggles with his trembling right hand. He then pressed down on the intercom by his ear and asked, E-Everyone, are you seeing that?
I see it
Ca-Captainwhat is that?
That girl is actually wearing a cheongsam at the summit
Are they humans or ghosts?
Taking in a breath full of oxygen, Wang Fuzhou suppressed his fear and hoarsely said, Little Zhang, contact the regiment department. Everyone else, turn on your cameras and record everything!
Understood.
Un-Understood
Captain, shall we withdraw?
Meanwhile, at the summit, Chen Yu fell into deep thought as he looked at the mountaineering team that had started falling into chaos. A moment later, he squatted down on the snowy ground, pointed at the mountaineering team, and looked at the camera, saying, Everyone, look at what I found. A team of wild mountaineers!
[Looking to find out how big of a trauma the mountaineering team received]
[Crap! Look at the flag on their shoulders! Its the national team!]
[Can someone give me an answer? Did the host really travel to Mount Everests summit?]
[Facts have proven that there are no places where internet celebrities cannot reach.]
[This special effect really is out of this world]
[I refuse to believe this is a special effect even if it kills me!]
[Can you grow some brains? Just watch for the excitement. I cant believe some fools actually think this is real.]
[It takes a fool to know a fool.]
[Crap! Have you become stupid from watching too many sci-fi movies?]
[If you still dont understand, just watch the UPs previous videos.]
[When I was paying attention to the UP, you were still in your mothers womb! No matter how real everything looks, they are still fake! Read more books, fool!]
[Idiot!]
[Retard!]
[Stop fighting, you guys]
Chen Yu paid no attention whatsoever to the cursing war going on in the bullet comment section. Instead, he had entirely focused his attention on the mountaineers. Seeing that these people had taken out cameras and were recording him, he chuckled and said to the camera, It seems my presence has frightened them. Lets see if we can interact with them.
After saying so, Chen Yu inhaled and prepared to speak. However, just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly realized that the other party would record his real voice if he spoke. Hence, he walked up to Little Peach and spoke into her ear, I cant speak. Help me shout at them.
Alright.
After Chen Yu mumbled some lines into Little Peachs ears, Little Peach hurriedly nodded and shouted at the mountaineers below, Hey~~
Hey~~
Hey~
~
The echo spread from the summit. Immediately, the mountaineers looked at Little Peach in horror.
However, ignorant of the mountaineers fears, Little Peach licked her lips and continued shouting, Is there a boat~~
Is there a boat~~
Is there a boat~
Boat~
~
Mountaineers:
Livestream viewers:
Rumble
Rumble, rumble
In an area that had accumulated thicker snow than Mount Everests summit, a large patch of snow suddenly loosened and started sliding down the mountain under the force of gravity. And as the loose snow continued sliding down, it bumped and loosened even more snow from the mountain, eventually creating a massive avalanche that swept down the mountain like a tsunami!
[Crap! An avalanche?!]
[Is this also a special effect?]
[No piece of snow is innocent.]
[This is much more exciting than watching a movie!]
[Everyone, dont leave the livestream room! DouYus server seems to have crashed. My friend cant get in as soon as he exited.]
[They posted a notice. Its a server maintenance.]
[Bilibilis site crash as well. It seems only this UPs livestream room is operating without problems. Why is that so?]
[I have a bold guess]
Several minutes later, the avalanche fell silent.
The summit of Mount Everest became quiet as well.
Looking at the avalanches distant remains, the mountaineers promptly discarded the items in their hands and raised their hands in surrender. One of the mountaineers even tore off the white cloth on his jacket and frantically waved it in the air.
Chen Yu:
King, it seems theyre cheering for me, Little Peach said excitedly.
They cant wait to call you death! What did you shout so loudly for?
I was afraid that they couldnt hear me. Should I continue saying the remaining lines?
Forget it. Connect the portal to the next location. I lack oxygen right now. My body is also freezing cold.
Where to?
Qinghai Plateau.
Yes, sir!
While Little Peach hurriedly manipulated the Star Portal, Chen Yu looked at the camera and said, As the environment of Mount Everest is too extreme for my body to handle, we will be heading to Qinghai Plateau. The atmospheric pressure there isnt too high, and itll let me recover. As for those national mountaineers, lets not scare them any longer. I am very eager to find out what they will say on their social media afterward.
As Chen Yu was done speaking, a bright flash came from the Star Portal. The next moment, the scenery inside the portal changed from that of a desert into a grassland.
After turning around and giving the frightened mountaineers one last glance, Chen Yu waved at them before stepping into the portal.
At the same time, inside an unlisted courtyard in Beijing
The middle-aged team leader of the special situation team wore a pale look on his face as he picked up the satellite phone on the table and dialed a number.
This is the special situation teams office! Contact those mountaineers as soon as possible! Have them keep everything they saw confidential! Nothing is allowed to be uploaded onto the internet! Also, have all their camera equipment sent to Beijing. Dont wait for them to descend the mountain. Send a helicopter to retrieve the equipment first.
After disconnecting the call, instead of returning his gaze toward Chen Yus livestream, the middle-aged team leader dialed another number.
This is the special situation teams office. I order you to block all news and information related to Transdimensional Review on the internet! Set up keywords and control public opinion! Do not let it spread no matter what!
After disconnecting the second call, the middle-aged team leader promptly dialed a third number.
Hello? Xiao Li? Are you back from Siberia? Im back already. The technical team sent in a report just now. The first location Transdimensional Review appeared in was the seaside of Qingdao City. Dont head to Jinzhou anymore. Dont return to Beijing either. Head straight to Qingdao, contact the local public security department, and collect all information on people named Wang Chun, or people whose names start with Wang Chun.
Hu
After making a series of phone calls, the middle-aged team leaders throat became parched. Gulping down the cup of tea before him, he returned his gaze toward Chen Yus figure, which was displayed on the screen before him, a tired and dark look appearing on his face.
Compared to when Chen Yu was merely uploading videos on Bilibili, it was much more difficult for them to control the effects of a livestream.
If they did not restrain the relevant information from flowing onto the internet, with the high-tech products Chen Yu reviewed, it would be very easy for him to cause a sensation within a short period.
An Interstellar Portal Covering his face, the middle-aged man agonizingly mumbled, How can such a thing possibly exist? Isnt he basically an alien?
Knock, knock, knock.
Suddenly, knocking sounds came from outside the offices door.
Lifting his head, the middle-aged team leader massaged his face slightly before saying, Enter.
Leader, the relevant professors of Tsing Hua University and Beijing University have been summoned, a woman with short hair said she pushed open the door. She then passed on the documents she carried in her arms to the middle-aged team leader before continuing, Also, this is the latest technical report.
Mhm. Nodding, the team leader accepted the report and started reading it seriously.
The report was several dozen pages long, and every page contained a detailed analysis of Transdimensional Reviews videos.
Leader the woman spoke hesitantly before stopping.
What is it?
Ho-How are things coming along on Big Sis Wus side?
Pausing his reading, the middle-aged team leader said, Shes back from America already. Dont worry.
In that case, I can rest assured. Leader, Ill head down first.
Mhm.
After the woman left, the middle-aged team leader was alone once more inside the office.
Once the team leader was alone, he tightly gripped the stack of papers as he felt his head swelling.
After Transdimensional Reviews livestream today, it was easy to tell that the entire world would tense up. A terrifying storm that would sweep across the whole world was gradually taking shape right now
Meanwhile, he, was standing in the eye of the storm.
One could easily imagine how much pressure he was under right now.
Interstellar Portal Portal
Looking at the huge metal arc on the screen, the middle-aged team leader faintly felt as if he had grasped onto something in the darkness as a spark of light flickered in his eyes
Chapter 75 - One Left…
Chapter 75 C One Left
While standing on the dirt slope of Qinghai Plateau, Chen Yu crossed his fingers and started giving a summary to the camera.
Scientific progress is the main driving force behind social production and economic development. It will change human life in aspects such as communication, consumption, learning, leisure, and entertainment. At the same time, though, scientific progress will also bring about environmental pollution, ecological crises, war crimes, resource shortages, cultural collapse, and many other adverse effects.
However, whether it is good or bad, scientific progress cannot be stopped. People can only passively endure it.
We are currently living in the year 2020. We do not know what future humans will experience. We do not know what kind of drastic changes will occur in future society. We also do not know whether future technology will bring about happiness or suffering. We can only get a glimpse of the future through these future products.
As someone of the current era, I cannot evaluate how people in the future will make use of this Interstellar Portal. I only know that, even in the year 3800, humanity is still advancing.
Pausing for a short moment, Chen Yu spread his arms and let the cooling wind blow on his haori.
Todays livestream will come to an end here.
I would like to thank the Transcendence Group for providing me with this advanced technological product. I will release an edited version of this livestream at 9 oclock tomorrow morning, so I hope everyone here can share it with others. Only by having more friends watching my livestream will I be able to bring out better products. The Interstellar Portal is merely an appetizer.
The livestream will continue next month.
Be there, or be square.
[Wow!]
[Not enough!]
[Why is your livestream so short?!]
[Its too short!]
[I want to see you teleporting to Area 51! Ill believe you if you can actually do it!]
[Can you take a look at the moon? I want to see if there are actually any footprints there.]
[To the White House! To the White House! To the White House!]
Ignoring the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu turned off the livestream without hesitation, causing everyones screen to go dark.
Sitting on the dirt slope, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief as he muttered to himself, This livestream has gone relatively smoothly. I didnt forget any of my lines.
King, theres a shepherd to your left. He seems to be calling the police right now.
Its fine, ignore him, Chen Yu said as he raised his wrist to look at the time. He then approached the Interstellar Portal and manipulated the holographic Earth to reestablish a spatial link with the Sahara Desert.
The Sahara Desert was void of people, so he could change the portals appearance without worrying about the watching eye of others. After arriving at the Sahara Desert, he promptly changed the portals appearance to resemble his rooms wooden door and returned to his bedroom together with Little Peach.
Thud!
Throwing himself onto his bed, Chen Yu rolled around comfortably. Sure enough, its best to be at home.
Thats right. Little Peach nodded in agreement. I experienced an adventure with King today. I am delighted. Favorability increased by 20 points.
Chen Yu:
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu grabbed his pillow and slammed it on Little Peachs head. What are you increasing for?! Go learn programming! Go get a job and earn money! Idiot!
Uu In response, Little Peach aggrievedly stomped her feet.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
The entire room actually started shaking at Little Peachs stomps.
Stop stomping! This is the nineteenth floor! Chen Yu bellowed.
Brother!
Bang! Bang!
In no time at all, Chen Yikes frightened voice and sounds of knocking came from outside the room. I think its an earthquake!
Giving Little Peach a glare, Chen Yu turned to the door and explained, Stop exaggerating things! I just dropped something on accident!
Did you collapse the ceiling?
Why dont you just say I destroyed the sturdy wall?
Brother, Im going in to take a look! Open up! Whenever its Sunday, youll always cause a scene at home!
Stop making noise! Im trying to sleep!
Open up! Brother! Chen Yike demanded as she stomped her foot. However, it was evident that her stomps were far from being comparable with Little Peachs.
Argh Scratching his head, Chen Yu complained, Women really are troublesome.
Jumping out of bed, Chen Yu removed his haori and tossed it under the bed. He then turned to Little Peach and said in a low voice, Go invisible. Hide your clothing as well.
Yes, sir.
Little Peach nodded. She then hurriedly entered invisibility mode, removed the cheongsam, and tossed the cheongsam under his bed as well.
Brother, if you dont open up, Im calling mom.
Im coming, Im coming.
After changing into normal wear, Chen Yu approached the door and unlocked it. Pushing it away, he looked at Chen Yike and said, Come in and have a look. See whether the ceiling has fallen or not.
Im just worried you might fall into danger, Chen Yike said in dissatisfaction as she walked into the bedroom. After taking a good look at the room, she continued, I thought an earthquake happened just now when I was in the living room. As an elder brother, can you be more honest in your actions?
Fine, fine, fine. Did mom send Second Eldest to cram school?
Shes not back yet. Shell make lunch afterward.
Is there anything to eat, then? Im hungry.
There are still some leftover buns in the kitchen. The snacks on the coffee table are Third Eldests, dont eat them!
Mhm.
After responding to Chen Yikes words, Chen Yu walked into the living room and noticed Chen Sanke, who was currently snoring on the sofa. Without a shred of guilt, he picked up her gold-plated feeding bottle, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down the goat milk inside. Afterward, he picked up Chen Sankes favorite butter cookies from the coffee table and ate everything in three bites.
Snacks turned bad especially quickly. As an elder brother, if he didnt eat them while they were still good, would he still be human?
Clap, clap.
After patting away the crumbs on his hands, Chen Yu returned to his room with a satisfied stomach. However, the moment he entered his room, he saw a scene that thoroughly shocked him.
Currently, Chen Yike was holding onto a skirt Little Peach had worn before and looked at Chen Yu with a look of utter disbelief.
Chen Yu:
Chen Yike:
Both siblings looked at each other with widened eyes, the muscles in their bodies remaining in a stiffened state.
Time, seemingly stopped at this moment.
Sound, seemingly vanished at this moment.
After some time, Chen Yus trembling lips parted, T-That looks like your skirt? Where did you find it?
It was It was on the bed
Haha, how mysterious Hahaha
Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Chen Yike asked, My My skirt Why is it in your room?
Maybe I brought it back by accident when I was washing my clothes
Lowering her head and focusing her vision on the skirt, Chen Yike said, It looks worn
Having run out of excuses, Chen Yu slowly covered his face with his hands.
Brother Her cheeks flushing red, Chen Yike became lost for words. In the next moment, she ran out of the room together with her skirt.
Eldest! Let me explain! Chen Yu begged with an outstretched arm.
In response, Chen Yike paused momentarily, her ears bright red as she said, Brother, I never thought you had this kind of hobby.
After saying so, Chen Yike ran back to her room as if escaping from a monster and shut the door with a bang.
Chen Yu:
Chen Sanke, who was sound asleep on the sofa, got startled awake by the loud sound. Opening her eyes and staring at her surroundings in a daze, she quickly noticed the empty feeding bottle and biscuit box on the coffee table. She then began pondering about when she had eaten her snacks
Ugh
Meanwhile, Chen Yu also shut the door to his room and walked up to his window, his face void of life as he gazed at the busy street down below.
Its over
My sisters are finally going to treat me like a pervert
Chapter 76 - Stupefied
Chapter 76 C Stupefied
At night, only five people sat around the Chen familys dining table. Father Chen had yet to return home due to working overtime.
Im done eating, Chen Yike said as she stood up. After placing down her chopsticks, she promptly left the kitchen while avoiding Chen Yus gaze.
Hah Chen Yu sighed deeply, finding the food in his bowl to be tasteless.
As an elder brother, the most painful thing he had to endure was being treated as a pervert by his little sister.
Meanwhile, it was naturally even more painful to be treated like a pervert by two of his little sisters
Swoop!
At this time, a shadow flashed under Chen Yus eyeballs. By the time he had snapped out of his daze, he had discovered that Chen Erke had snagged a chicken wing from his bowl.
Bang!
Slamming the table, Chen Yu shouted, Give it back!
Holding up the chicken wing with her chopsticks, Chen Erke stared at Chen Yu before stretching out her tongue and giving the chicken wing a thorough licking. Afterward, she pushed the wing at Chen Yu and said, Here.
Chen Yu:
Ill eat it if you dont want it! Chen Erke said, squinting her eyes as she bit off the wings skin. She then started swaying her head around and deliberately putting on an expression of ecstasy.
Eat it, then. The fatter you get, the better youll be able to take a beating.
Mom! Look at my big brother! Chen Erke said as she sidled up to Mother Chen.
A cold glint flashing across her eyes, Mother Chen glared at Chen Yu and said, Let me see if you can take a beating or not, then.
If you hit me, Ill hit her.
Ill hit you whether you hit her or not, Mother Chen angrily said as she raised her chopsticks. Cant you yield to your little sister a little? Behave like an elder brother for once.
Looking at Chen Erkes gleeful expression, Chen Yu sent her a glare that said, Just you wait before hurriedly emptying his bowl and putting down his chopsticks. He then said, Im done eating.
Just as Chen Yu was about to stand up from his seat, he noticed Chen Sanke staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Third Eldest, why arent you eating? What are you daydreaming about?
Turning to look at Chen Yu, Chen Sanke puffed up her cheeks aggrievedly and pouted, My biscuits and milk disappeared
Oh. Standing up, Chen Yu walked up to the kitchens exit before saying, Why do you have such a one-track mind? If its gone, then its gone. You mustve eaten it at some point.
Thats not possible. I remember that I still had half a bottle of milk and 15 pieces of biscuits. Sighing, Chen Sanke muttered, Where did they go
After returning to his bedroom and locking the door, Chen Yu laid on his bed. Seeing this, Little Peach came out from her invisible state and put on a coat. She then approached Chen Yu and said, My King, your livestream has already been edited. They will be released on the three platforms at 9 oclock tomorrow morning. Moreover, I have also arranged for your four previous videos to be released on DouYu and Youtube tomorrow.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded. Right, dont call me King when were not on camera. It sounds too chuunibyou[1]. Just continue calling me Chen Yu.
Very well, Mr. Chen.
Chen Yu.
I understand, Mr. Chen.
Forget it. Just do your own thing, Chen Yu said in resignation. He then raised his wrist and swiped on his watchs screen.
During the morning livestream, he had gained a total of 12 points. This also meant that a total of 120,000 real viewers had participated in his livestream, with the majority of them coming from Bilibilis site. As for DouYu and Youtube, the two platforms added together might not have contributed 10,000 real viewers.
Lets hope Ill gain more popularity on these two platforms once my review videos are uploaded there tomorrow
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu picked up his phone and contacted the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Connard!] (a curse in French)
[Chen Yu: What does that mean?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It means I am delighted to see you.]
[Chen Yu: Oh! Connard to you too!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, what business do you have? Do you want me to reclaim the Interstellar Portal?]
[Chen Yu: No, no, no. I have many uses for this door. I definitely wont be replacing it. What I want to ask is whether my livestream today met the required advertising effects or not? I gained a total of 12 points.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I cant say for sure. Youll first have to conduct three livestreams and undergo the companys quarterly evaluation to know whether youve passed the companys requirements or not. The company judges you based on multiple angles, multiple aspects, and multiple values. If you are merely a partner with the lowest potential, you might pass the evaluation with just one point. However, your current potential is very high. Having just 12 points might not be enough to secure you a pass.]
[Chen Yu: So, thats how it works.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Indeed. Do you have any more questions?]
[Chen Yu: An app called Transdimensional Store has appeared in my watchs interface. There are quite a few products inside. Didnt you previously say that I can exchange for items using my points? Are you talking about these items?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Indeed. Do you have any more questions?]
[Chen Yu: If I spend points to buy these things, will it cause me to fail my quarterly evaluation?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The goal of the evaluation is to judge whether you have met the required advertising effects. Even if you spent all your accumulated points, it would not affect your rank. In fact, you are even free to use these exchanged products to conduct additional livestreams and increase your popularity.]
[Chen Yu: Oh! I see!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Indeed. Do you have any more questions?]
[Chen Yu: Why does it feel like youre annoyed of me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You jest. Do you have any more questions?]
[Chen Yu: I do! I previously ran out, but now I have more.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please speak. :)]
[Chen Yu: I cant help but feel that three platforms are too few. Can that number only be increased if I rank up?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Indeed. Your current access level is D-, so you are only allowed to host your videos and livestreams on a maximum of three broadcasting platforms. If you raise your access level, that number will increase to five. At level D+, you can host on 10 platforms. Meanwhile, the greater the number of platforms you can host on, the greater your popularity will become.]
[Chen Yu: What happens if I reach level C?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: At level C-, the company will set up a second team for you to be responsible for hosting your content on all available broadcasting platforms on the internet. At level C, in addition to online broadcasting platforms, youll also gain access to one satellite or one network TV station. Upon reaching level C+, the number of satellites or TV stations youll have access to will be tripled. ]
Seeing this message, Chen Yu couldnt help but be shocked.
[Chen Yu: There are TVs even in the future? In our year of 2020, barely any people watch TV anymore.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Even after 5,000 years later, the term TV still exists. Only, the external and internal forms are constantly changing. Regardless of time, the television remains the most stable, most formal, and most communicable media platform for humanity.]
[Chen Yu: Alright, I think I understand.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you have any more questions?]
[Chen Yu: I do! I can go on for the entire night!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Connard!]
[Chen Yu: Thank you. Connard to you too! What changes will there be after I reach level B?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: At level B-, all content you put out, such as videos, livestreams, TV shows, voice recordings, and so on, can be simultaneously broadcasted on all media platforms around the world. If your access level reaches B, then congratulations. You may select a country and broadcast your livestream on every electronic display in said country. Unless a display is damaged, it cannot stop your livestream from playing on it otherwise. At level B+, you may choose up to three countries.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I know you will definitely ask me about level A. Ill say it, Ill say it all. After reaching level A-, our company will disregard all costs and broadcast your livestreams on every operational display in the world.]
Crap
At this moment, Chen Yu became thoroughly stupefied.
Chapter 77 - All Must Die!
Chapter 77 C All Must Die!
After finding out that spending his points wouldnt affect his evaluation, Chen Yu could finally rest at ease. Raising his wrist, he swiftly swiped across the screen of his watch and entered the Transdimensional Stores interface. Upon entering the stores interface, the information of five products greeted him.

I cant help but feel that these products are a joke
After pondering the matter for some time, Chen Yu eventually chose to purchase the fifth and most expensive productCthe Hypnosis Rattle.
He felt that he been under a lot of pressure recently. Relaxing himself with the help of hypnosis was undoubtedly a smart choice.
[10 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 2]
Along with the appearance of these words on the watchs screen, a small space-time wormhole appeared before Chen Yu. A little white box then fell out of this wormhole.
This damned! Theres actually a tax still
Not in the mood to make complaints, Chen Yu picked up the box and removed the seal. He then pulled out a bell the size of a childs fist from inside the box.
The bell was smooth and dense, and black stripes were covering the top of the bell. Overall, the bell looked exquisitely crafted.
Little Peach, do you know this thing?
I dont, Little Peach said, shaking her head after giving the rattle a few looks. Theres still a solar charging panel on it. It should be an old antique.
Chen Yu:
Placing down the rattle, Chen Yu picked up the instruction manual inside the box and hooked his finger at Little Peach. Come over here. Well read it together. Once we know how to use it, use it to hypnotize me.
Yes, sir.
Following this, the two of them read through the instruction manual page by page, spending roughly five minutes to learn how to use the Hypnosis Rattle.
Take it and hypnotize me, Chen Yu said as he passed the rattle to Little Peach. He then laid on his bed and shut his eyes, saying, Go on.
What kind of scenery do you want?
The beach, soft sand, and sunshine.
Very well. Nodding, Little Peach walked up to the side of the bed and shook the rattle three times.
Ding, ring.
Ding, ring.
Ding, ring.
At the same time, radio waves started spreading out from Little Peachs attractive eyes. The waves reflected back and forth against the bedrooms walls and rapidly merged with the subtle brain waves Chen Yu released.
You, are looking at the ocean Little Peach gently said. You are stepping on a soft, sandy beach. The sun is shining on your body, giving you a warm and comfy feeling.
Chen Yus eyes rapidly moved along Little Peachs words, his consciousness falling into a hazy and illusory state. Warm Comfy
Ding, ring.
Ding, ring
Seeing that Chen Yu had already been hypnotized, Little Peach shook the rattle two more times according to the instruction manual, further strengthening the hypnotic effect.
Where are you?
At At the beach
What do you see?
I see I see sandthe sunbikinis
Stunned momentarily, Little Peach frowned and said, There are no bikinis.
No No bikinis
Yes.
There are three-point swimsuits So many three-point swimsuits Ah
There are no three-point swimsuits, either! Little Peach declared while clenching her fist.
No None
Right! There are no bikinis or three-point swimsuits! There is only the sandy beach, the waves, and the sun!
Sandy Sandy beach While in a subconscious state, Chen Yu excitedly raised his legs and said, The beauties The beauties on the beach arent wearing anything No bikinis No three-point swimsuits
There are no beauties! Little Peach declared with a dark expression. Youre the only one there, bastard!
Only Only myself
Yes, only you.
Only me Chen Yu gradually quietened down at these words.
Wiping off the simulated sweat that had formed on her forehead, Little Peach continued softly, Youre lying on the beach. You feel very relaxed and comfortable.
Comfortable
Your stress has disappeared, and you feel light and fluffy.
Disappeared
You are soundly asleep by the sea, on the beach, and under the sun.
Sleep
After murmuring these words, Chen Yus muscles relaxed entirely as he fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Little Peach placed down the rattle and leaned against the bedside, her eyes staring at Chen Yus profile without blinking. Gradually, a gentle and happy smile formed on her face.
This human
He is the first person I saw.
Never. I will never leave him
Loyalty did not require many reasons. With a reason, it would no longer be pure loyalty, but a logical act instead.[1]
Meanwhile, as an artificial intelligence, there was no form of loyalty purer than this
Mr. Chen
However, the warm smile on Little Peachs face did not last long. Three minutes later, as if a bug had appeared in her programming, her expression suddenly changed as she raised her palm and gave Chen Yu a slap!
Slap!
Chen Yu instantly awoke from his slumber. Abruptly sitting up from his bed, he looked at Little Peach in horror.
As for Little Peach, she was in the midst of earnestly looking at her own palm.
You Why did you hit me?!
There was a mosquito on your face, Little Peach said as she extended her hand, showing the mosquito corpse on her palm. I killed it.
Calm gradually returned to Chen Yus face when he saw the mosquito corpse. However, after a moment of silence, he suddenly shouted, Why didnt you just shoo it away?! Is there a need to hit me?!
Heh. A cold glint flashing across her eyes, Little Peach said, All who dares touch my man must die.
Chen Yu:
Also Pointing at Chen Yus crotch, Little Peach said, Your pants are wet.
Chapter 78 - Natural Programmer
Chapter 78 C Natural Programmer
Time, rapidly passed by. In the blink of an eye, seven days had gone by already.
After a week of fermentation, Chen Yu had already gained over three million views on Bilibili for his livestream. However, his popularity on DouYu and Youtube was still growing at a languid pace.
The editors of the two broadcasting platforms thoroughly refused to provide him with any exposure at all. As a result, he could only rely on his viewers to gradually spread his name.
Moreover, on the internet, aside from Bilibili, DouYu, and Youtube, no news or information relating to Transdimensional Review could be found at all. It was evident that the government was doing its best to prevent more people from finding out about Transdimensional Reviews existence.
In regards to these problems, though, Chen Yu neither minded it nor had a good solution.
After all, these broadcasting platforms had the right to choose whether they promoted his channel or not. Unless these platforms did something that encroached on the Transdimensional Marketing Companys interests, it would not interfere in this matter. As for websites outside of these three broadcasting platforms, they currently remained outside of the companys range of protection still.
Hence, he could only rely on his viewers to spread the news through offline means.
Argh, my head hurts. Thats enough reading for today, Chen Yu complained as he removed the Quantum Reading Glasses and tossed away his English textbook. He then dug out the Hypnosis Rattle from under his pillow and said, Little Peach, hypnotize me. Im going to sleep.
Mr. Chen, didnt you just wake up?
My head hurts. I cant read anymore.
Do you need me to give you a massage, then?
At this suggestion, Chen Yu suspiciously peered open his left eye and asked, How high is your favorability right now?
Thirty-five.
Why is it increasing so damned quickly?!
As many customers are not proficient in romance, all Romantic Partner Simulation Robots are programmed to randomly gain a certain amount of favorability every day.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu stood up, and indifferently said, Youre too ugly.
Little Peach,
I can never forget my ex-girlfriend.
Are the bearings inside your body leaking oil? You seem to be getting fatter.
Drink plenty of hot water.
How much is your favorability now?
Six.
Relaxing, Chen Yu laid back on his bed and handed the bell to Little Peach, saying, Hypnotize me.
Although Little Peach wished to stomp her feet and vent her frustration, when she thought of the possibility of getting scolded, she held back and obediently accepted the Hypnosis Rattle.
Are you trying to say something? Chen Yu asked suspiciously.
I earned money last night?
You earned money?
Mhm. Nodding, Little Peach brought over the laptop on the table and skillfully activated over a dozen jump servers[1]. Afterward, she opened up a web browser and entered the address for a foreign online bank. I made roughly 30,000 yuan.
Receiving the laptop in a daze, Chen Yu quickly noticed the string of numbers behind the $ symbol displayed on the screen4,300.00.
Four thousand and three hundred USD Immediately, Chen Yus fingers started wiggling as he calculated, The current exchange rate is one to seven. Four times seven is twenty-one, and three times seven is twenty-eight Crap! How did you earn so much?[2]
Hehe. Shyly twiddling with her fingers, Little Peach said, I received a commission from a private funder in a programming forum to create an employee attendance management system. I ended up earning 30,000 yuan from that commission.
Didnt you only study for a few days? You actually possess this level of skill already? Chen Yu exclaimed.
The 21st centurys information technology is elementary, Little Peach said while covering her face.
Doesnt that mean your technical skills are already unmatched in the entire world?
That is impossible. I have only learned the most basic programming logic used by humans. I will still need some time to reach the top.
Scrutinizing Little Peach from head to toe, Chen Yu said, Youve really made me see you in a different light
Hehe. I got complimented by Mr. Chen. Favorability plus eight.
Well Although I dont understand much about the programming industry but is a software worth just 30,000 yuan? Isnt that a little too cheap?
It is. Little Peach nodded. Putting on the face of a veteran swindler, she continued, Many private commissioners are laymen when it comes to IT. They neither understand the internet nor software. Hence, they would generally demand services for far below market price. Taking advantage of this fact, I also offered my services at meager prices. As a result, I can easily secure deals.
Wont you be at a huge loss, then?
Its not a loss at all! Many system bugs will gradually appear in the software I provided. These are all bugs I deliberately left behind. And aside from myself, very few people would be capable of fixing these bugs, Little Peach triumphantly said. If the other party refuses to give me my final payment or follow-up maintenance fees, they would basically lose their 30,000-yuan investment. I plan to rake in a minimum of 60 or 70 thousand yuan from this single job.
This isnt what a human should do, right?
Thats right, but Im not a human being either. Who told these people to be greedy for petty gains to begin with?
Then this money Looking at the laptop screen before him, Chen Yu asked, Is it in your account?
Indeed. It is in an anonymous overseas online banking account.
How many of these jobs can you complete in a day?
At least one.
Doesnt that mean you can earn a million a month? Shocked, Chen Yu exclaimed, Isnt that over 10 million a year?!
Once my technical skills get better, I might even be able to complete orders valuing over 10 million daily, Little Pinch said, her arms akimbo.
After remaining silent for a long while, Chen Yu grasped Little Peachs hands and vigorously shook them, saying, Brother! You will be my brother from now on! In our Transdimensional Review team, you will be in charge of finances! Work hard to make money! Earn as much as you can! Dont be afraid of hardships!
I can work 24 hours a day and seven days a week without rest. I am not afraid of hardships.
Thats great! Youre a natural programmer! Chen Yu said as he smacked his lips. He patted Little Peachs shoulders and said, However, you should also strike a proper balance between work and rest. You have to rest for at least 30 minutes a week.
Mhm. Nodding heavily, Little Peachs eyes reddened slightly as she said, Mr. Chern, you are so kind to me.
You are my subordinate, after all. If I dont treat you kindly, who would?
Mhm! Favorability plus 20.
Lets go. Im in a happy mood today. Lets head to Europe for a big meal.
After saying so, Chen Yu jumped out of his bed and changed into a set of outdoor clothing. He then walked up to the Interstellar Portal and called out the holographic Earth before asking, Little Peach, where do you want to go?
Anywhere is fine so long youre there, Little Peach said shyly with her head lowered.
Swiping at the goosebumps covering his body, Chen Yu fell silent for a short moment before stating, Lets go to Florence.
Okay.
After establishing the spatial link, Chen Yu opened the portal and crossed the bent space together with Little Peach. In the blink of an eye, the two arrived in the European continent located thousands of kilometers away.
Currently, as dawn had yet to arrive in Florence, Chen Yu had no choice but to settle for a restaurant that opened for 24 hours.
Benvenuto.
When Chen Yu and Little Peach entered the restaurant, a service staff lazily approached them and led them to their seats. The service staff then handed each of them a menu before speaking in an Italian accent, Cosa mangiare?
What kind of attitude is this? Hes even worse than countryside waiters, Chen Yu complained, frowning. After accepting the offered menu, he looked at Little Peach and said, Do you know Italian?
Yes. After taking a quick look through the menu, Mr. Chen, what would you like to eat?
What is the format of eating Italian food?
I dont know either, but theres a set menu for two here, Little Peach said as she pointed at a line of Italian text. Its very expensive, though.
It doesnt matter. As long as you work hard, I wont be short of money, Chen Yu said as he generously waved his hand. Lets order that, then.
Nodding in response, Little Peach then started speaking to the waiter in standard Italian.
Startled by Little Peachs fluent Italian, the waiter gave the robot girl an earnest look before raising his thumb and saying, Fantastico!
After the waiter left, Chen Yu asked, What did he say to you just now?
He said my Italian is amazing.
Exactly how many languages do you speak?
Thirty-two. Pointing at her own head, Little Peach said, My quantum processor has an integrated language module. I am currently proficient in 32 languages, and I can perfectly simulate the standard language of various countries.
Amazing However, youre exaggerating things if you say you can simulate standard languages. Your Chinese isnt standard.[1]
It isnt standard? Little Peach could not help but be taken aback by Chen Yus words.
Thats right. Its not standard, Chen Yu said, nodding. Standard Chinese isnt spoken that way.
T-Then, how should I speak it?
Ill teach you well, so focus on learning it. Rolling up his sleeves, Chen Yu took out his phone and typed a few words on it. He then handed it to Little Peach and asked, How do you read these words?
What are you doing?
Look! Your accent is too light! Thats not standard Chinese!
Stunned, Little Peach asked, H-How should I say it, then?
Whadda ya doing.
Wha-Whadda ya doing?
Right. Say it with me, whadda ya doing?
Whadda ya doing
Where didya put it?
Where didya put it
Whadda ya looking at!
Whadda yalooking at
Do whateva ya want.
Do whateva ya want
Smart. Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction.[4]
Um Hesitantly, Little Peach said, I cant help but feel that something is wrong.
Whats wrong about it? This is standard Chinese. What would you know? Continue saying it with me, do whateva ya want.
Do whateva ya want
Chapter 79 - Misunderstanding…
The next day, Monday, right before classes started in the morning
Chen Yu sat on his seat and browsed through Bilibili like usual. Suddenly, an interesting video popped up in his view.
The videos UP was none other than the captain of the national mountaineering team he had met on Mount Everest.
The quality of the video was considered above average, but the whole video could basically be summarized into one pointTransdimensional Reviews video was fake. The encounter on Mount Everest was only an act meant to enhance the effect of the livestream. All members of the mountaineering team were actors.
The purpose of the video was self-evident.
However, despite this situation, Chen Yu remained indifferent. On the contrary, he even hoped that the government would launch more of such smokescreens. That way, he could maintain a steady state of growth in terms of audience.
He had always thought of himself as a person full of wisdom. Hence, he would never squabble over petty profits.
If he wished to gain a lot of popularity at once, it would be extremely simple for him to do so. For example, during his previous livestream, he couldve simply teleported himself to several densely populated regions or notable locations such as the White Houses front lawn, a massive concert, the field of a European football game, the bustling streets of Beijing, and New Yorks Times Square. If he did that, he would instantly become a global sensation.
At that time, even if the various governments wanted to keep a tight lid on the matter, they wouldnt be able to do so. His name would instantly spread across the globe overnight.
However, what next?
The worlds population numbered over seven billion only. Suppose he managed to lure in over a billion real viewers to himself. In that case, he might be able to push his access level to C very easily, but that would also mean the difficulty of reaching level C+, B-, B, and so on, would reach insurmountable heights.
Moreover, the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff had already made it clear that the requirement to pass the companys evaluation wasnt fixed. Partners with low potential could pass the companys evaluation with just one point. In contrast, partners with great potential might not even pass the evaluation after accumulating 10 points. With that being the case, the trap here was evident.
Popularity wasnt the determining factor for promotion, but growth instead!
The more popular he became, the more he would shave off his growth potential.
Only by adequately planning how to tackle earths seven billion population would he be able to gradually and steadily raise his access level and eventually reach level A!
It would be utterly foolish of him to drastically raise the difficulty of his future promotions just for some short-term popularity.
Hence, from a particular perspective, by attempting to cover up his reviews content, the government was basically playing into his hand.
Ring, ring, ring
While Chen Yu was thinking to himself, the class bell rang. Immediately afterward, Chen Yus form teacher walked into the classroom with his chest puffed up, picked up a piece of chalk, and knocked on the blackboard, saying, Good morning, students.
Good morning, teacher.
However, despite the form teachers enthusiastic greeting, all he got in return was a sparse few replies.
I have something to announce today. Propping up his arms and gazing at the students before him, the form teacher said, Our class will be receiving a new student today. Lets welcome our new friend with a round of applause.
Clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap
The female students lazily clapped their hands.
The male students joyously clapped their bellies.
Student Xing Biqi, please enter, the form teacher said as he looked out the door. He then took a step back and let out the lectern.
Following which, under the dumbfounded gazes of Class 2-2s students, a delicate girl with an exquisite appearance entered the classroom. After walking up the lectern, the girl bowed slightly and said, Hello, everyone, my name is Xing Biqi. Please take care of me.
After three seconds of silence, every student in the class simultaneously howled, Awooo~~~
In reality, when it came to beauties, they would be welcomed by both males and females.
The instant Xing Biqi appeared, just with her cuteness alone, she had already captured the hearts of the majority of Class 2-2s students.
Student Xing Biqi, if its convenient for you, please write your name on the blackboard and let everyone know you, the form teacher said in a surprisingly gentle tone.
Okay. Revealing a smile, Xing Biqi accepted the chalk the form teacher offered and wrote her name on the blackboard.
Awooo~~~
Howls echoed throughout the classroom once more as Xing Biqi wrote.
Student Xing Biqi, please find an empty seat. Class is about to start.
Okay. Nodding, Xing Biqi turned around to look at the seats inside the classroom.
All of a sudden, the entire classroom became deathly silent.
At this moment, practically every student in the classroom wore an optimistic look on their faces as they looked at Xing Biqi. They all hoped that this lovely new student would sit next to them so that they could start a romantic high school life.
Only Chen Yu remained calm.
A girl so cute is definitely a boy inside. I definitely wont be tricked, Chen Yu thought as he clenched his fist and observed his surroundings.
What kind of place was Sixth High?
It was a gathering ground for scum!
How could a girl so cute possibly have poor academic performance? How could she possibly fall into a cesspit like Sixth High? Moreover, this lovely girl just so happened to fall into Class 2-2?
It was obvious that this girl had a goal. Moreover, there was a high chance that this goal was him, Chen Yu!
Kekeke. It seems theyre still suspecting me? Using a honeytrap on me? Did you think Ill fall for it? Chuckling to himself, Chen Yu suddenly smacked Li Liang, who sat before him, to the ground, and raised his hand, saying, Beauty! Sit over here!
Swoosh! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Suddenly, the gaze of every student in the classroom focused on Chen Yu.
Chen Yu! What are you doing? Li Liang angrily questioned as he supported himself back up using his table. However, before he could continue questioning Chen Yu, a desk leg with nails stuck in it appeared before his eyes.
Bald Li, do you wish to live, or die?
You damned At this moment, Li Liang could not help but wish he could send his table flying at Chen Yus face.
Move aside. Give your seat to the beauty. Show her Class 2s gentlemanly demeanor.
Why dont you give her your seat?
Standing up, Chen Yu leaned into Li Liangs right ear and whispered, That girl is coming at me. Ill bear all the suffering. If I dont go to hell, who will? I dont want to involve other classmates.
You damned bastard! Youre basically choosing hoes over bros!
Are you moving, or not? Tired of wasting words, Chen Yu raised his nail bat for everyone to see.
Ill go! Chen Yu! You better remember this!
Farewell, farewell.
After sending off Li Liang, Chen Yu quickly noticed the ashen look on his form teachers face. After shyly storing away his nail bat, he hooked his finger at Xing Biqi and said, Well, come on over!
The form teacher:
Xing Biqi:
Every other student in the class:
After giving Chen Yu a glare, the form teacher turned to Xing Biqi and gently said, Student Xing Biqi, have a seat there, then.
Okay, thank you, teacher, Xing Biqi said as she politely bowed to the form teacher. She then started timidly walking to the seat that once belonged to Li Liang and sat down while doing her best to avoid Chen Yus gaze.
Hu Shutting his eyes, Chen Yu silently sighed as he got a whiff of the youthful scent entering his nose. This is the smell of wheat
Little scoundrel. At this time, the form teacher picked up a chalk and shouted at Chen Yu, Class is starting now. Theres going to be another monthly test next week. Your grades definitely cannot-
Teacher. Suddenly, Li Liang raised his hand and interrupted, Where should I sit?
Turning around, the form teacher noticed that Li Liang was still idly standing at a corner while carrying his bag.
Sit at the balcony!
Li Liang:
Meanwhile, covering his face with one hand, Chen Yu evilly chuckled as he gazed at Xing Biqis graceful back.
Since they sent a special agent right up my face, they cant fault me for being ruthless. Well see how I toy with you
At the same time, an elderly couple wearing faces filled with worry stood outside of Sixth Highs compound.
Old man, I heard that this schools environment is awful. Will our granddaughter get bullied in there? the old woman asked worriedly.
We dont have any other choice. Qiqis academic performance is too poor, and no good school wants her. We dont have the money for bribes either. Our only option is to send her to Sixth High. Dont worry. Ive already greeted Qiqis form teacher. Hell take care of her, the old man said.
Hah Suddenly shedding a tear, the old woman lamented, Qiqi truly is an unfortunate child. Despite being so young, her parents have already
This is fate, the old man said with trembling lips as he hugged the old lady.
Chapter 80 - Blessings of the Past Generations
Chapter 80 C Blessings of the Past Generations
Special agents, also known as secret police officers, were employed by the government to work in sensitive industries such as public security and military.
Usually, before securing the intelligence they targeted, special agents would do their best in concealing their identities.
As Chen Yu knew of this point, the moment Xing Biqi entered the classroom, he had already sketched all sorts of plans to torture Xing Biqi in his mind.
He even had to bend down to his waist to contain all the excitement he got from his planning.
In any case, the other party was a special agent. To approach him, form a relationship with him, and obtain information from him, she definitely wouldnt put up any sorts of fierce resistance.
And if the other party resisted, or even started a fight with him, then all the better!
At that time, he would have an excellent reason to sever all relations with the other party. He would be able to thoroughly prevent this female agent from approaching him at all.
After all, according to common sense, there should be no reason for a man to reject the approach of a beauty. However, if there was conflict between a man and a beauty, then it was entirely reasonable for the man to refuse the beautys approach.
Wisdom. So, this is wisdom
At this moment, Chen Yu felt as if he had just gotten rid of an evildoer with strong backing.
He found himself to be truly amazing.
I bet it wont be long before this female agent tries to talk to me. At that time, hehe
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu started buying all sorts of After he had made his preparations, he waited quietly with his arms folded.
Then.
Two weeks passed by with nothing happening
During these past two weeks, contrary to Chen Yus expectations, Xing Biqi behaved as if she couldnt see him. She had completely ignored his existence.
Even when Chen Yu used his invisible camera to secretly film Xing Biqi, he did not find any peculiarities.
Xing Biqi lived in poverty and together with her grandparents. She was also diligently studying every day. Unfortunately, due to her bad memory, she was never able to pull her grades up.
Professional! What professionalism! This female agent thoroughly understands that to catch a fish, one must first loosen the reel. Her personality is beyond ordinary as well. It seems shes not going to be easy to deal with.
Should I take the initiative to attack?
After pondering for some time, Chen Yu still decided against starting a conversation with Xing Biqi.
In his eyes, he and this lovely female agent were like the leaders of two opposing armies. Whoever revealed their intentions first would very well be at a disadvantage.
Little girl, do you think I cant win against you? Lets see if you can avoid talking to me for the rest of your life.
Thinking so, Chen Yu started snickering to himself.
After school ended in the evening, Chen Yu returned home and greeted his family. He then promptly returned to his bedroom, only to be greeted by the sight of Little Peach taking out the various tools from a package.
What are you doing? After hurriedly locking the door, Chen Yu angrily approached Little Peach and snatched the bundle of rope she held, Why did you open my package?!
You never opened this package since it arrived, so I wanted to help you organize its content. After saying so, Little Peach shyly lowered her head and said, These Are all these things for me? I Ill accept them
I wont accept it! Damn it! Chen Yu cursed as he hurriedly storing the various tools back into the box. Im leaving these tools for torture! Theyre not toys!
Toys for torture? Whats wrong with them? Little Peach asked quizzically.
Are we even talking in the same language? What are you talking about?
You know what I mean Little Peach said, covering her face.
Chen Yu:
After resealing the package and hiding it under his bed, Chen Yu sternly said, Little Peach! You are not allowed to touch my packages from now on! Understand?
I understand.
Why arent you working? Didnt I say that you only get a 30-minute break once a week?
Thats right. Im on my break right now.
Oh. In that case, from next week onward, just rest 15 minutes a week.
I-Isnt that a little too short
Of course, not. Patting Little Peachs shoulders, Chen Yu said, Only by working hard can humans manifest their value. This is true for robots as well. We should pay tribute to those that had worked hard! The working opportunities and civilization we have today only exists because of the blood and sweat our ancestors had shed! These are the blessings of the previous generations! We must cherish them!
I see. As if she had just gained enlightenment, Little Peach hurriedly sat down before the table and started fervently typing away on the laptops keyboard.
Good.
Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and contacted the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
[Chen Yu: Can you get me another robot like Little Peach?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, if you really like the Romantic Partner Simulation Robot, you can purchase additional ones from the Transdimensional Store. Because of company policies, my team cannot apply for products you have owned before.]
[Chen Yu: Why?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: To prevent repeat advertisements.]
[Chen Yu: Does that robot have a lifespan, then? Will it be damaged from overworking?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You Youve been making the robot work all this time?]
[Chen Yu: Thats why Im asking if it can work continuously or not. How often do I need to let it rest?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The Romantic Partner Simulation Robot is constructed using a special composite of materials. Theoretically, it will not be damaged even if it works continuously for 20 years. Moreover, even if it is damaged, it can still be repaired in the slumber pod. You can also replace any damaged accessories. As for the robots processor, it is utilizing a dual-chip structure. The two processors will be used in rotation, making them even less vulnerable to damage. So, you can put Little Peach to work for as long as you like.]
[Chen Yu: In that case, I can rest assured. Oh, right. The second livestream is taking place in another two weeks. Have you applied for the review product already?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Were applying for it! Youll definitely be satisfied with it!]
[Chen Yu: Alright. Ill look forward to it. Talk to you later.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Goodbye.]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu looked up from his phone and noticed Little Peach standing in front of him with an excited look.
Whats wrong? Something happened?
Mr. Chen, I completed another commission! Turning sideways and pointing at the laptop, Little Peach said, I made a lot of money for you!
Money? Immediately, Chen Yu shifted his line of sight toward the laptops screen. He then asked, How much?
Its a 17,000 dollar commission. After conversion, its roughly 120,000 yuan!
One hundred and twenty thousand?!
Yes! One hundred and twenty thousand!
Crap! Shocked, Chen Yu asked, How much have you earned in total so far?
Including this commission, Ive earned close to 600,000 yuan in this half a month.
Amazing! After a moment of silence, Chen Yu raised his fist and exclaimed, Too amazing!
Mm! Amazing! Little Peach similarly raised her fist.
You really are my lucky star! Holding onto Little Peachs shoulders, Chen Yu excitedly said, Work properly! Ive asked about you already. It seems you can continue working continuously for 20 years without breaking!
That truly is wonderful!
Thats right. From now on, you should rest only three minutes a week!
I can work for 20 years without breaking. Im fine even without breaks.
Dont! I cant just treat you as a money-making machine. Rest for three minutes! Thats decided!
Mr. Chen, you really are kind to me Little Peach said with reddened eyes.
This is your blessing, and mine as well. I salute to you! Continue working hard!
Okay!
Turning around quickly, Little Peach jumped back into her seat and started tapping away at the keyboard. Dense flames also burned in her eyes.
How imposing! Giving Little Peach a thumbs up, Chen Yu said, Ill leave you alone now. Work hard at making money. Also, be gentler with the keyboard. Dont break it.
Okay!
Creak Bang.
After Chen Yu left the room and shut the door, Little Peachs body trembled with excitement. Her fingers then started dancing on the keyboard like phantoms.
However, after coding for a dozen minutes or so, Little Peach suddenly froze.
Huh? Arent I a romance robot
Chapter 81 - Second Livestream (1)
Chapter 81 C Second Livestream (1)
Walking into the living room, Chen Yu took a seat on the sofa and observed his two little sisters.
Chen Erke was drawing.
Chen Sanke was in deep thought.
As for Chen Yike, she should be in her own room.
Sidling up to Chen Sankes side, Chen Yu asked, Whats on your mind?
Im thinking about my milk and biscuits from half a month ago, Chen Sanke said as she aggrievedly squeezed the corners of her shirt. Where did they go
Chen Yu:
They disappeared, uu
Look at you! Isnt it just some snacks? Why cant you let it go still?
But I really didnt eat them! Her lips curling down, Chen Sanke suddenly widened her mouth and started crying, Uu I I didnt eat them Uwaa
Chen Yu! Hearing crying sounds coming from the living room, Mother Chen came walking out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. She then angrily glared at Chen Yu and shouted, Youre bullying your little sister again?!
I didnt bully her.
Then why is Third Eldest crying?
She She might be greedy for more snacks
Im not! Waving around her two small hands, Chen Sanke cried while saying, I clearlysniffle I clearly didnt eat them, yet they disappeared.
If theyre gone, so be it. Will you starve to death if you miss out on some snacks? Grabbing Chen Sankes hand and pulling her toward the kitchen, Mother Chen said, Its time for dinner, so stop crying.
Uu Teardrops rolling down her cheeks, Chen Sanke said, I I still remember I had half a bottle of milk and fifteenfifteen biscuits. There were also sesame seeds, pea-peanut slices, and a buttery smell
Hearing these words, Mother Chen grew even more enraged as she shouted, You cant even count to 10 normally, yet you can count to 15 when counting biscuits?! Is food the only thing in your brain?!
There are also 32 holes in each biscuit
Chen Sanke! If you cant count from 1 to 100 during dinner, Im going to give you a beating!
I I I only have 10 fingers Chen Sanke tearfully said while stretching out her little hands.
How did you count to 32, then?! Mother Chen grew so enraged at Chen Sankes words that she wanted to do nothing more than smack her youngest daughter with her spatula.
I I dont know
Looking at Chen Sankes sorrowful back, Chen Yu, the main culprit of this incident, started feeling discomfort in his heart. He never thought that those bits of snacks were so precious in Chen Sankes eyes.
Sure enough, one could not simply use their own set of values to determine the value of an object in the eyes of others.
Hence, Chen Yu stole Chen Sankes packet of WW Rice Crackers and put it into his pocket without hesitation.
Once she lost more of her snacks, she would grow numb to it and would no longer cry.
This, was growth
Chen Yu, call your sisters to dinner! Mother Chen suddenly shouted from the kitchen.
Okay. After answering his mother, Chen Yu grabbed the opened bag of dried seaweed Chen Sanke left on the sofa. After pulling out a piece and putting it into his mouth, he tapped on Chen Erkes head and said, Stop drawing. Time for dinner.
One last stroke! Just one last stroke! Chen Erke said, wetting her lips as she unblinkingly stared at her drawing board and swayed around the crayon in her hand.
Hurry up and go eat! Chen Yu said as he pulled away from the drawing board. Time for dinner!
Pouting, Chen Erke glared at Chen Yu in dissatisfaction.
What? Dont agree with your Big Brothers words? Are you rebelling?
Hmph! Pervert. Stomping her feet, Chen Erke turned around and left.
Hey! What did you say?! Repeat it if you dare!
Pervert~ Pervert~
After saying so, Chen Erke ran even quicker into the kitchen.
It seems Second Eldest is getting a little naughty recently. Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu pulled out another piece of Chen Sankes dried seaweed and put it into his mouth. Finding it a little too salty, he unscrewed the gold-plated feeding bottles cap and drank a mouthful of the goats milk in it.
Im feeling a little bit full now, Chen Yu mumbled as he touched his belly. He then got up from the sofa and approached Chen Yikes room. Knocking on the door, he said, Eldest, time for dinner.
In a moment.
Hearing some noise coming from inside the room, Chen Yu thought of entering the room uninvited. However, just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly realized that there might be a trap awaiting him and quickly retreated from the door.
After a moment of thought, he raised his wrist and canceled his watchs invisibility. Using his watch, he manipulated the invisible camera he had left on standby on the first floor, having it fly to the nineteenth floor and peek through the window of Chen Yikes room.
Huh? What is she doing?
Through his watchs screen, he saw Chen Yikes figure seated before her study table. Currently, Chen Yike was staring at a piano poster before her while frenziedly playing an imaginary piano. At the same time, she was also shaking her head in all directions, her long hair dancing in the air.
Chen Yike had fully demonstrated the bewildering behavior of a human being when they were alone.
What kind of piano playing is this?
Lowering his wrist, Chen Yu abruptly opened the door to Chen Yikes room. However, to his surprise, the seat before the study table was void of people. The poster he saw through his watch was also nowhere to be found. As for Chen Yike herself, she was quietly lying on her bed, an English textbook in her hands.
Brother! What do you want?!
Din-Dinner
I said Ill go in a moment. Let me finish memorizing these two words first.
Oh Sure
Skeptically closing the door, Chen Yu raised his watch once more and saw that Chen Yike was still sitting before her desk and frantically playing her imaginary piano
WDF?
Crack!
Chen Yu pushed open the door once more.
Seeing this, Chen Yike, who was lying on the bed, revealed a dissatisfied look. Putting down her English textbook, she questioned, Brother, what is wrong with you? I already said Ill go once Im done memorizing these words.
Oh
Tentatively shutting the door again, Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at his watch.
Just like before, Chen Yike was still playing her imaginary piano. This time, however, even her feet had joined in on the fun, and she was playing with all 20 of her digits.
Frowning, Chen Yu muttered, Is this door a portal as well?
There were 365 days in a year. Hence, 15 days was but a small part of a year.
However, in just 15 short days, Jinzhou City had gone from experiencing a yellow autumn to getting coated in a white winter.
Its snowing. How fast.
Waking up on a Sunday morning, Chen Yu could not help but sigh in lamentation as he looked at the descending snowflakes outside his window.
Meanwhile, Little Peach remained seated at the desk, having typed codes from autumn to winter
Mr. Chen, youre awake.
Yeah.
Stretching his waist, Chen Yu sat up, got out of bed, and changed into his school uniform.
Will your second livestreams review product be arriving today?
Thats right. Its coming at nine oclock. However, I dont have time to wait for it. Putting on a thick coat, he said, I need to take my monthly exam. Ill be back at noon even at the earliest.
What will you do about the livestream?
We dont have a choice but to do it in the afternoon.
But this will create a problem, Little Peach said. Raising her right index finger, she continued, You started your livestream at nine oclock in the morning last month. If you change your livestream schedule this month just because it coincides with Sixth Highs monthly exam, wont you be exposing yourself?
Upon hearing Little Peachs words, Chen Yu nodded, Yes. I have also thought of this problem, especially now that there is that Xing Biqi keeping an eye on me. However, I have no choice. If I dont attend the monthly exam and start my livestream on time, that will draw even more suspicion. Currently, Im even considering whether I should change my livestream schedule to Monday or not.
If you change it to Monday, you will still look suspicious if you skip school.
Thats why I have no way out, Chen Yu said, sighing. Spreading out his arms, he continued, Havent you noticed that things have been abnormally peaceful this past month? Even the people secretly stalking me have disappeared. I cant help but feel uneasy at this situation.
In reality, theres an easy solution to this problem.
You have a plan? Chen Yu asked as he quizzically raised his left eyebrow.
I do! Wait for me!
Clapping her hands, Little Peach jumped out of her chair and walked up to the door. She then called out the holographic Earth and initiated a spatial link.
Where are you going?
To your warehouse, Mr. Chen.
Let me do it, then. I have the warehouses exact coordinates.
Taking over the controls, Chen Yu made a few swipes on the hologram before establishing a spatial link with the space inside the suburban warehouse. He then pushed hard against the door.
Creak
Beyond the door was none other than the warehouse Chen Yu previously rented.
Taking the lead and walking into the warehouse, Little Peach observed her surroundings before saying, Nobodys here.
I only made a verbal agreement with the landlord when I rented this place. Now that the landlord has moved out of town, the government shouldnt be able to find this place for now. Moreover, its also been quite some time since I visited this place. The last time I came here was also to store your slumber pod Slumber pod?
Stunned, Chen Yu muttered, Are you trying to
Thats right.
Nodding, Little Peach approached a corner of the warehouse and opened her personalized slumber pod. She then laid in it and said, Im going to modify my face! Please wait.
After Little Peach said so, the lid of her slumber pod slowly closed.
Meanwhile, Chen Yus eyes lit up in excitement.
At the same time, he could not help but admit that this robot that mainly focused on love really knew how to surprise him.
Five minutes later
Psh Psh Psh
White mist escaped from the slumber pod as the lid slid aside. A figure then slowly emerged from the blurred background.
Uh
After seeing the face of this figure, Chen Yus mouth involuntarily widened
Chapter 82 - Second Livestream (2)
Chapter 82 C Second Livestream (2)
As the mist gradually dissipated, Chen Yus mouth fell wide open as if he had just been struck by lightning.
Before his mind could adequately process the situation, a figure wearing his face could be seen walking out of the sleeping pod. However, the similarities ended there. Unlike himself, this figure wore a dress, had long silky hair, and protruding breasts and buttocks.
Do I look similar? Little Peach asked as she slightly raised her arms and spun around in a circle, her actions causing her dress to flutter and reveal the white short pants underneath.
Ahmy eyes Chen Yu agonizingly covered his face.
Ive replaced my vocal cords as well. With this, nobody can tell the difference, right?
Only you cant tell the difference, right? Stretching out his hand, Chen Yu pulled at the face that looked exactly like his and shouted, Whats the point of changing only the face?!
I-Its alright, I can bind my chest up with a cloth.
What about your hair? What about your buttocks? Even the skin tone of your face and neck is different!
With Chen Yu pulling her face left and right, Little Peach vaguely replied, Its normal for hair to grow long overnight.
This is the 21st century! Thats not normal at all!
As for my butt-buttocks and skin tone, I can ju-just wear more clothes
What about your hands?
Ill wear gloves.
Neck?
Scarf.
Why cant you just turn yourself into a male completely?
I cant. Such overhauls can only be conducted in the future Daisy Rays Daily Products Co., Ltd.. The slumber pod only supports the replacement of certain parts.
Fine, then. Loosening his grip, Chen Yu frowned as he carefully observed Little Peach. After a moment, he could not help but comment, I cant help but feel that youre ugly!
Maybe its because of this face, Little Peach earnestly explained.
Chen Yu:
Im sorry, I misspoke. It is unrelated to your face, Little Peach corrected herself upon seeing Chen Yus reaction.
Chen Yu:
T-Then, is it related or not? Panicking, Little Peach took a step back timidly.
Forget it, Chen Yu said as he weakly waved his hand. Lets just go with this. Ill bring you to a barber and trim your hair to my hairstyle.
After saying so, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and established a spatial link with Los Angeles, which was located on the other side of the world. He then opened the door and walked through it.
Seeing this, Little Peach hurriedly followed after him.
Currently, it was still night time in Los Angeles. The empty alley Chen Yu and Little Peach appeared at was so quiet that it was possible to hear even the sound of a needle dropping.
As the two walked out of the alley, a dim street light shined down on them. And when a night breeze blew by, it sent the littered plastic bags and bottles rolling and crashing into a homeless person nearby, the scene turning out to be quite depressing.
After walking through a few streets with Little Peach, Chen Yu walked into a barbershop. Looking at the sole black man seated inside the shop, he said, Give her a haircut. Cut her hair into my hairstyle.
What? the chubby black man asked in confusion as he observed Chen Yu and Little Peach.
My English is bad. You talk to him. Tell him to cut your hair into my hairstyle.
Okay.
Nodding, Little Peach spread her arms and started blurting out a series of English words that made no sense to Chen Yu whatsoever.
Upon hearing Little Peachs words, the black man widened his eyes and started responding in words Chen Yu similarly did not understand.
Are you guys even speaking English? Chen Yu asked suspiciously. What did he say?
He says I look hideous.
He says if I trim my hair, Ill look even uglier, Little Peach added.
After standing still for a moment, Chen Yu silently turned around and walked out of the shop.
Where are you going?
To retrieve my Golden Finger.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Yu and Little Peach arrived back at Chen Yus room.
Pulling out his phone and taking a look at the time, Chen Yu immediately removed his coat and tossed it to Little Peach. Hurry up. We wont have much time left. Go have breakfast in the kitchen first and then head to the exam venue. Also, hurry up and change into a set of uniform.
Okay.
Turning her back toward Chen Yu, Little Peach removed her dress and tightly wrapped a towel around her chest.
Squeak!
Hearing the tightening sounds of the towel, even Chen Yu himself could not help but feel painful. Isnt itpainful?
What is pain? Little Peach asked in confusion as she turned her head around.
Itsnothing. Continue.
Oh.
Although Little Peach was puzzled by Chen Yus words, she did not overthink the matter. After putting on Chen Yus uniform, a scarf, and a pair of gloves, she became thoroughly covered both inside and outside. Twirling around, she asked, Mr. Chen, do I look like you now?
Taking a step back, Chen Yu held up his chin as he carefully observed Little Peach. Hoh, not bad.
In that case, Im going to school now! Little Peach said. She then picked up Chen Yus school bag and prepared to leave the room.
Wait a minute, do you know where Sixth High is?
I dont know.
Do you know where my exam venue is?
I dont know.
Do you know what my teachers are called? What subjects are being tested today?
I dont know. Lowering her head, Little Peach said, I dont know any of the things you just said. I am only a romance robot
What does this have to do with you being a romance robot?! You need to learn how to pay attention to the details! Like myself, you need to be crude in most matters, but subtle in some.
Understood. I need to be both crude and subtle.
Its crude in most matters, but subtle in some!!
Crude in most matters, but subtle in some, Little Peach repeated.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu said, Alright, lets skip this topic and talk about something else.
After saying so, Chen Yu circled around Little Peach and frowned, saying, The proportions still feel a little distorted.
Where is it distorted? Should I tighten my chest a little more?
It has nothing to do with that, OK? Walk two steps forward. Walk in strides.
L-Like this? Little Peach asked as she tentatively walked two steps forward.
Clap!
Clapping his hands together, Chen Yu said, I get it! Your walking posture is no good. You walk like a girl. You need to walk with bold steps. No catwalk.
Like this? Little Peach then spread out her legs, forming an ˡ pattern as she imposingly took two steps forward.
Youre just asking for a beating walking like that
How about this? Little Peach switched another walking posture.
Mhm Thats better. After taking a look at the time once more, Chen Yu pulled Little Peach close to him and sternly said, Sixth High isnt that far from here. Once you head downstairs, turn left and head down the sidewalk. Once you pass by a kindergarten, an elementary school, and a middle school, turn left and walk across two traffic lights
After spending 10 minutes explaining all the necessary details, Chen Yu picked up a glass of water and drank it. Clearing his throat, he continued, Cough. Do you remember what I said?
I remember.
Head on out, then. I wont be taking my tests alone this time, but together with classmates, instead; make sure you speak less. Act as if your throat is injured.
Understood!
Todays test papers are physics and chemistry. Write using the handwriting I taught you just now. And no matter whether you know the answer to a question, just fill in all the blanks. Well find an opportunity later on to change the answers.
Understood!
Dont make any strange movements! Dont mess things up!
Understood! I definitely wont! Little Peach said as she patted her chest assuringly.
I just cant seem to feel at ease letting you handle this.
Rest assured, Mr. Chen, I am now both crude and subtle.
Its crude in most matters, but subtle in some!
Mhm, mhm. Crude in most matters, but subtle in some!
Carrying Chen Yus school bag, Little Peach opened the bedroom door and went into the kitchen to have breakfast with the rest of the Chen family.
As a robot, Little Peach only needed to recharge her energy supply to continue functioning. Hence, she planned to only pretend to eat during this meal and then spit out everything once she got to school.
Why are you covered up like that at home? Mother Chen asked as she observed Little Peachs attire. Caught a cold?
Mhm.
Did you kick off your blanket last night?
Mhm.
Serves you right!
Mhm.
With an ugly look on her face, Mother Chen walked out of the kitchen and dug out a medicine box from a drawer in the living room. After getting two cold capsules from the box, she returned to the kitchen and directly stuck the pills into Little Peachs mouth.
Eat!
Little Peach:
Drink! Mother Chen then pushed a glass of water to Little Peach.
Little Peach:
Drink up! What are you looking at me for? Mother Chen frowned.
Nothing. Little Peach obediently accepted the water. After a moment of silence, she quietly mumbled, Being a human really is nice
Meanwhile, back inside Chen Yus room, Chen Yu quietly laid on the floor. When he heard the sound of Little Peach leaving the front door of his house, he softly breathed out a sigh of relief.
Hopefully, she doesnt cause any trouble for me
Standing up, Chen Yu returned to his bed and quietly stared at empty space as he waited for nine oclock to arrive.
Precisely 21 minutes later, a space-time wormhole suddenly appeared in the middle of his room.
Its here!
Chapter 83 - Second Livestream (3)
Thump.
As the wormhole gradually expanded, a white box fell out of it and tumbled onto the ground.
Its here!
After the wormhole shrunk and disappeared, Chen Yu stepped forward and picked up the box. Just as he was about to open the seal, however, an idea suddenly dawned on him.
Recording a video and conducting a livestream were two different things entirely. It wasnt necessary for him to unbox the product in advance to gain an understanding of it. There was also the option of unboxing it during the livestream and reading the products instruction manual then. In fact, doing so might even improve the livestreams performance.
After gaining this thought, Chen Yu did not waste any more time, quickly taking out his gloves, mask, and haori from under his bed and putting them on. He then walked up to his door and searched for a suitable livestream venue using the Interstellar Portals holographic interface.
Lets go to a sparsely populated place
After sliding across the holographic Earth a few times and establishing a spatial link on his selected location, Chen Yu pushed open the door and stepped through it.
After stepping onto the dirt ground beyond the door, Chen Yu instantly felt a blast of hot air blowing at his face, suffocating him.
His current location was Thailands Si Racha. He could see palm trees with brown rhizomes and green leaves swaying with the wind, the leaves obscuring his view of the colonies of bats flying in the sky.
There are bats even in the morning?
After observing the bats above him for a while, Chen Yu retrieved his gaze and raised his wrist, canceling his watchs invisibility. He then used the watch to direct the invisible camera toward him. After making some minor adjustments, he promptly started his livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili site activation complete.]
[DouYu site activation complete.]
[Youtube site activation complete.]
[Total viewer count: 0]
After these five lines of text flashed by, the viewer count displayed on the watchs screen started skyrocketing rapidly.
1,146.
4,554.
11,097
In just 10 short seconds, the total viewer count for all three streaming platforms had broken past the 50,000-mark!
It was evident that his audience had been waiting for quite some time now.
[Victory for the early bird!]
[Ill curse first, then watch.]
[I didnt know about the last livestreams schedule, but now I can finally watch it live!]
[I just woke up from a coma!]
[First, first, first!]
[Its here!]
[Summoning the bullet comment armor]
[Wheres the beauty from last time?]
[Wheres the beauty? Were here to see the beauty!]
[Similarly here to see the beauty. UP, get lost.]
[I want to look at the cheongsam beauty!]
[I even took my pants off already! Unsubscribing, goodbye.]
[I endured for an entire month, yet you actually hurt me like this!]
[Grandpa is watching closely.]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews second livestream. Thank you for your continued support. As everyone knows, I am a person that dislikes nonsense, so lets get straight into the review!
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the white box in his arms and continued, Unlike the previous livestream, we will be including an unboxing session today. As this product has just reached my hands, I dont know whats inside either. Hence, let us witness this advanced technological product from the future from start to end together.
[Support! A review stream without an unboxing session is a soulless one!]
[UP, where is this place? Why are there bats in the sky?]
[The actors from before have exposed you already. Stop pretending.]
[I want to see the female assistant]
Sitting down cross-legged, Chen Yu sent a quick glance at his watchs screen, which was densely packed with bullet comments, and found that the total viewer count had exceeded 100,000 already.
At this point, he could basically rival first-rate streamers in terms of turnout rate.
How scary Smacking his lips together, Chen Yu stabilized his emotions before speaking in his usual voice, This box also comes from a future space-time. I dont know what material it is made of, but it is very resistant.
After saying so, he picked up a stone from the ground and slammed it down on the box.
Bang!
When Chen Yu removed the stone, a dent had formed on the boxs surface. Surprisingly, though, the dent was gradually recovering to its original state.
As you can see, this should be a kind of memory material. It is definitely impossible to create something like this with current human technology. Hmm Speaking of this, I suddenly have an idea.
Looking at the camera, Chen Yu pointed at the white box and quietly said, I dont have a use for this box, but I cant say the same for some people. Then, as a way to give back to my fans, I guess I can use unimportant objects like this box as a gift. Of course, I will only gift it to obedient fans.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, a barrage of bullet comments exploded in all three livestream rooms.
[Me, me, me, me! Pick me!]
[Pick me (in a gentle voice)!]
[Ive raised my ass already. Figure it out yourself.]
[UP, are your words hinting at something?]
[I wont be greedy. I just want that Golden Middle Finger of yours.]
[Im okay with receiving the female assistant.]
[Do you still have that Heat Ray Gun? Dont get me wrong, Im just trying to rule the world.]
[Those are all old antiques. Why are you people fighting over those things for]
[Mr. King, I am Americas representative! I wish to partner with you! Ive sent you a private message already! Please read it!]
[UP, who did you offend? Why is there no news about you online]
Amidst the torrent of bullet comments, Chen Yu noticed a few messages he suspected to be the government officials of various countries. However, he did not pay any heed to these messages. Manipulating the camera to focus on the white box, he moved the subject back to the review.
Now for the unboxing.
Tear!
After removing the seal, Chen Yu casually tossed it away, letting it fly into the air and disappear without a trace.
If Thailands officials were keen enough, this ordinary seal would most likely end up in one of Thailands scientific research institutions before tomorrow arrived.
Meanwhile, there were still plenty of such seals piled up inside Chen Yus room. He planned on tossing a seal to every country.
He was never one for preferential treatment. Instead, he preferred to treat everyone equally favorably. After all, only with competition would there be benefits for him to had.
This was where his great wisdom came into play.
While having such random thoughts in his mind, Chen Yu opened the boxs lid and pulled out a rectangular machine from inside.
This is
Chen Yu scratched his head in confusion.
Since the first technological product he had received until now, this was the first time he had received a product that did not allow him to judge its function by appearance alone.
Fellow viewers, can you guess what this is? It looks like a malformed radio. Is this a wire? Theres no screen, but the groove in the middle should be reserved for a holographic projection.
After saying so, he put the machine aside and picked up a card at the bottom of the box.
Vroom!
The instant Chen Yus finger came into contact with the card, the card suddenly lit up and projected several words in the airProduct Instruction Manual!
[Crap! Special effects again?]
[Full score for details.]
[Is this holographic technology?]
[Is this card the rumored new concept phone?]
[Im guessing that this machine is something used in bed]
[Its obviously a miniature nuclear warhead launch pad.]
[My son still cant write yet]
Huh? What an interesting instruction manual.
Chen Yu could not help but be a little surprised as he held onto the card. He then tentatively swiped a finger across the cards surface. Immediately, the floating words disappeared and were replaced with new words.
Produced by Pilotage Technology Group!
Sliding his finger again, the card finally displayed the products name
Chapter 84 - Tool, No; Weapon, Yes! (1)
Chapter 84: Chapter 84 C Tool, No; Weapon, Yes! (1)

Leader, the location analysis report is out. The target is currently in Thailands Si Racha.
Inside the conference room of a standalone villa located in Jinzhou Citys outskirts, Xiao Li pushed open the door to the room and reported this news.
Si Racha When the middle-aged team leader heard Xiao Lis words, he searched for the mentioned location using the tablet sitting on the meeting table. Frowning, he asked, Do we have any colleagues there?
None, but we have some in Bangkok.
Its too far. They wont make it. It seems well have to give up on this one, the team leader said as he turned off the tablet and raised his head to look Chen Yus masked figure, which was currently being displayed on the hanging screen before him. Solemnly, he continued, Judging from the targets speech, it seems he is about to make contact with us for the first time. This special box might very well be given to us. Have everyone be on stand-by and be ready to act at all times.
Understood! Xiao Li replied before leaving the room.
Immediately afterward, another youth came running into the conference room and reported, Leader, Target A, Chen Yu, has attended Sixth Highs monthly examination like usual.
What?!
Crash!
The majority of the people gathered inside the conference room stood up in shock, their eyes staring at the youth in disbelief.
Th-Theres no mistaking it. Chen Yu is currently taking his exam
While closely watched by the many bigshots present, the youth timidly extended a tablet and said, Lea-Leader, take a look.
Upon receiving the tablet, the middle-aged team leader immediately saw that, in the ongoing video communication, Chen Yu was currently earnestly answering a test paper while wrapped in a scarf and wearing gloves.
This How is this possible? The team leader was so shocked that even his thumb started trembling slightly.
From the information they had gathered and analyzed for the past month, they were almost certain that Target A, also known as Chen Yu, was Transdimensional Reviews uploader.
However, they never expected such an unexpected abnormality to actually appear at this moment.
Let me see.
Let me have a look as well.
Ill look at it as well
The various leaders seated in the conference room promptly crowded around the middle-aged team leader and observed the image displayed on the tablet
After recovering from his initial shock, the middle-aged team leaders complexion started darkening. Pushing away the crowd that had formed around him, he shouted, Are you done watching? Return to your seats!
Leader At this time, the woman referred to as Big Sis Wu doubtfully asked, Could our previous thoughts be a misunderstanding?
Impossible! There is definitely a problem here! Lowering his head, the team leader stared closely at Chen Yus figure through the tablet. Squinting his eyes, he continued, After we focused our investigation on Chen Yu for the past month, we discovered many suspicious points that violated common sense. Lets take the three most crucial points, for example.
One. How did Chen Yu edit hundreds of videos in one day to make a profit? Without a team of at least 50 people, it is simply impossible to complete such a workload within such a short timeframe. Moreover, through comparison, we noticed that the editing style of these videos is similar to the editing style of Transdimensional Reviews videos.
Two. Through drone investigations, we already know that during our last surprise home visit, the room Xiao Li entered belonged to the one surnamed Su, who lives upstairs of Chen Yus family. This spatial distortion ability is exactly the same as the one displayed by Transdimensional Reviews Interstellar Portal!
Three. When we conducted our search through the citys surveillance system, we discovered that Chen Yu had rented a warehouse on the outskirts of the old city. To avoid alerting the target, we entered the adjacent warehouse and found that the interior is exactly the same as the background shown during Transdimensional Reviews past videos. The time point matches as well.
Through these three points alone, we can already confirm that Transdimensional Reviews uploader is Chen Yu.
His eyes sharpening, the middle-aged man decisively concluded, The facts are beyond doubt!
But how can we explain this Chen Yu that is currently taking his exam? Big Sis Wu asked.
Standing up, the middle-aged team leader shut his eyes and fell into thought. After a moment, he opened his mouth and declared, We have iron proof in our hands. No matter how bizarre of a situation pops up now, it still doesnt change the truth.
Pausing briefly, the team leader opened his eyes and continued, Hence, the Chen Yu taking the test now is fake!
As soon as the middle-aged team leader made this declaration, the people in the conference room immediately broke into a heated discussion.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The team leader knocked on the table and swept his gaze across everyone present.
Immediately, all discussions in the room halted.
Since Transdimensional Reviews livestream started this time, Ive been thinking about a problem: Where is the female assistant?
Walking out of his seat, the team leader slowly circled around the meeting table as he said, Moreover, I dont know how many of you noticed a small detail, but during the previous livestream, whether it be in the beach, the Sahara Desert, or the summit of Mount Everest, no matter how big the change in temperature and atmospheric pressure was, the female assistant wearing the cheongsam remained completely unaffected. Even if shes Superwoman, she should have some reaction, right?
Hence? When Big Sis Wu thought over the team leaders words, she could not help but be terrified.
Hence Stopping his feet, the middle-aged team leader clenched his feet as he said, Referring to the past technological products that have appeared on Transdimensional Reviews channel, it is very likely that she is
A robot
Haha! My concealment really is excellent! Nobody will ever guess that Im a robot! Little Peach thought to herself as she sat inside one of Sixth Highs exam venues. Dangling her legs in delight, Mr. Chen shouldve started his livestream already, right? I wanted to host it with him
Its time. The exam is now starting. Whispering is not allowed. If you cheat, your score for the subject will be invalidated.
At the invigilators announcement, the examinees promptly started answering their test papers. Among them, Little Peach was undoubtedly the fastest in reacting to the invigilators words.
Mr. Chen said I need to write my name immediately before answering questions
Picking up her ballpoint pen, she recalled Chen Yus instructions, and in the name column, she wroteLittle Peach.
Afterward, she turned her attention toward the first multiple-choice question for the physics test.
[Travelling from Nanjing to Shanghai, you can either take the train or the ship as shown in the right image. The curve ACB and dashed line ADB respectively represent the railway line and sea route from Nanjing to Shanghai. In that case, the correct state is]
Completely ignoring the four ABCD options provided, Little Peach imitated Chen Yus handwriting and wrote the following in the blank of the question: Why not take the plane?
Thailand, Si Racha:
As Chen Yu slid his finger across the card the second time, the card finally revealed the products name.
Weather Control Module!
OK, as the name suggests, this product is used to control the weather.
His eyes glowing in excitement, Chen Yu quickly slid his finger across the card once more.
The Weather Control Module was mass-produced by the Pilotage Technology Group in the year 2506. Im sure everyone can see the instruction manuals introduction. This product can be used for localized weather control. There are two main weather categories available for selection: general weather changes and extreme weather changes.
In the general weather category, the types of weather available are: sunny, cloudy, light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, storm, thunderstorm, light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, blizzard, frost, fog, heavy fog, and two dozen other weather types.
As for the extreme weather category, it includes: hurricane, typhoon, tornado, extreme thunderstorm, extreme snowstorm, extreme hailstorm, sandstorm, extreme cold currents, extreme heat currents, comet impactsWhat?! A comet impact is considered a type of weather as well?!
[UP, are you sure this is a weather control console and not a weather weapon?]
[Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!]
[The products are getting increasingly exaggerated! Are we really going to restart human civilization?]
[Theoretically speaking, if you find a specific location to fan a storm, the whole world will suffer.]
[Strongly recommend you try comet impact!]
[Agree!]
[Agree+1!]
[UP, please start your performance.]
Weve mostly seen the operational procedures already, and I can say that this product is certainly versatile. Aside from the simplified one-button operation, it is also possible to adjust the temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind direction, wind strength, and other parameters accurately. I find it truly hard to imagine that humans would gain the ability to freely manipulate the weather in less than five centuries. In ancient times, having this kind of ability would make you a living god.
After saying so, Chen Yu put down the instruction manual and looked at the Weather Control Module beside him, licking his lips in anticipation.
Hehe, next up, its time to play Ah, no, I meant starting the review of this product.
Immediately, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pushed down on the power button!
Pzz Pzz
The sound of electric currents running appeared and the groove found at the center of the Weather Control Module suddenly released a blinding light!
Chapter 85 - Tool, No; Weapon, Yes! (2)
Chapter 85 C Tool, No; Weapon, Yes! (2)
After Chen Yu pushed the power button, a blinding light suddenly appeared in the Weather Control Modules groove!
Three seconds later, the light disappeared, leaving behind only a light-blue holographic projection.
Swiping his hand across, Chen Yu actually felt a sense of coldness when his fingers came into contact with the hologram as if it was a physical object.
Huh? Interesting.
After swiping his hand across the hologram a few times, Chen Yu picked up a pebble from the ground and tried placing it on the hologram. To his surprise, even after he had let go of the pebble, it remained still on the hologram!
Amazing! This hologram is physical? What principles does it operate by?
[Light is a type of electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves are a kind of gravitational wave. Gravity will attract matter to gather, so I give up. I cant continue making things up.]
[Just settle with an Amazing!]
[With such quality special effects, why not just shoot a movie? Isnt it better to try and save the domestic film industry?]
[I seriously suspect this livestream is fake!]
[Stop the slandering. I only wish to see a comet falling on the land of freedom.]
[Weathering With You warning!][1]
While the bullet comments were flooding the livestream rooms, Chen Yu tossed aside the pebble and stopped caring about scientific principles that he currently could not comprehend. Following the instruction manuals operating procedure, he clicked on the general weather menu.
The details of this product are ridiculous. I wont be messing with the parameter adjustment mode, though, as it is too dangerous. Who knows what kind of chain reaction would occur if I lowered the temperature by an extra degree, or increased the humidity by a little more. So, we will only use the default idiot mode.
After saying so, Chen Yu lifted his head and looked at the clear sky above him. He then continued, I am currently somewhere near Thailands Bangkok[2], but I dont know the exact location. Everyone can see that the weather is sunny. Now, Ill let you all decide what kind of weather I should bring to this place. Well decide by majority vote.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the number of bullet comments being sent to the livestream rooms skyrocketed!
Moreover, the audiences opinions were surprisingly unified.
[Comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
Chen Yu:
[UP, although Im at Bangkok right now, please choose comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
[If even comets are considered a type of weather, nuclear bombs should be entered into the same category.]
[Are you looking down on my hydrogen bomb?]
[Big Ivan: No comment. Ill just watch.][3]
[Comet impact]
Lowering his watch, Chen Yu shrugged and said, I gave you guys an opportunity, but you didnt cherish it. Ill choose then.
After finding a suitable sitting posture, he took a deep breath and pressed down on the holograms first buttonSunny.
Pzz Pzz Pzz
The instant the holographic button bounced back up, the Weather Control Modules central antenna suddenly released a streak of blinding light into the sky!
Afterward
Clap!
Abruptly clapping his hands together, Chen Yu pointed at the sky and said, Amazing, right?! Its sunny now!
[]
[Message deleted.]
[Message deleted.]
[Fairly speaking, it is indeed sunny.]
[Support! Banzai! Theres hope!]
[Everyone, be considerate. The UP might be short of funds.]
[What a shame!]
[Todays livestream ends here. Well meet again next time.]
Looking at the audiences reaction, Chen Yu adjusted his mask and chuckled, That was just a joke to lighten up the mood. Next, its time to witness a true miracle!
After saying so, Chen Yus index finger, which was originally pointed at the sky, descended and pressed down on the holographic button labeled light snow.
Pzz Pzz Pzz
In the next moment, a dazzling streak light shot out from the central antenna and into the sky, the light causing clouds to gather above Chen Yu and superimpose on each other at a frightening rate
The sky rapidly darkened.
The sudden drop in temperature caused the surrounding bats to scatter.
In just 10 short seconds, a shocking change had occurred to the area Chen Yu was present in, the scene resembling the Armageddon typically depicted in movies.
[???]
[?????]
[?]
[Can someone give me an explanation?]
[Im here again, and Im still as uncultured as before! Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap+1!]
[Ill repeat this again; this is definitely not a special effect! No company in existence can produce this level of real-time special effects!]
[Im living in Si Racha thats close to Bangkok. The sky really did suddenly become cloudy]
[That gave me a scare.]
[Bullet comment actors, please withdraw. The national mountaineering team has already exposed the UP during the previous livestream.]
[All actors and their families will die!]
[You are all my family!]
[I just arrived. Should I start cursing immediately?]
[My son still cant write.]
[Can you guys stop with the bullet comments?! I cant even see the livestream anymore, idiots!]
[Its actually snowing in Bangkok]
Amidst the chaotic dispute in the bullet comment section, the first snowflake fell on Chen Yus mask, followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth snowflakes as well Meanwhile, under his bodys scorching temperature, these snowflakes melted and formed a streak of flowing water.
As he felt his body cooling down, Chen Yu suddenly gained some understanding.
It was the understanding of the nature of science.
However, with his literary talent, it was too difficult for him to adequately describe this profound and complicated understanding.
Hence, he could only simplify his understanding into one wordCAmazing.
Truly amazing.
Shaking his head and sighing, Chen Yu stretched out his index finger and pressed on the Moderate Snow button.
???????????? (Thai: Impossible.)
Seated on the passenger seat of a military jeep, Zongravimon stretched his right hand out of the opened window amidst the bumpy ride and touched the falling snowflakes in a daze.
Thailands Bangkok was located south of the Chao Phraya River. It was thoroughly situated in a tropical monsoon climate. The city was hot all year round, with the annual average temperature being over 27 degrees Celsius.
However, such a place was actually snowing right now
Withdrawing his hand, Colonel Zongravimon wore a gloomy face as he turned toward the driver and asked, ????????????????????????????????? (How far are we from our destination?)
Adjusting his military cap, the driver replied, 8????????. (Eight kilometers.)
Hearing this, Zongravimon subconsciously tightened his grip on the gun hung around his waist.
Eight kilometers. With their mobile units speed, it would take no more than five minutes before they would meet with that mysterious person.
This operations importance was extremely high, and even the militarys head honchos were paying attention to it in real-time.
If not for his unit being stationed the closest toward the target, he wouldnt have been left with such a vital operation.
Hu
Zongravimon took in a deep breath. Despite the low temperature outside the car, he did not feel cold at the slightest. On the contrary, sweat poured out from all over his body, soaking his military uniform.
The higher-ups instructions are to maintain a cordial attitude with the other party. If the other party refuses to cooperate, however, we may take more coercive measures the driver said.
Coercive measures? Are they crazy?
Upon accepting the Si Racha mission, Zongravimon had immediately watched all of Transdimensional Reviews past videos. However, when he was done watching them, he felt as if the Grim Reapers scythe was already resting on his neck.
The target they were dealing with was a mysterious person that they had barely any information on. Who knew how many terrifying weapons their target possessed? Yet, the higher-ups wanted them to take coercive measures?
Were they trying to make the other party create a massacre, and then die from guilt?
Or had his mobile unit become a lab rat under the nations control
Further tightening his grip on his gun, Zongravimon pulled out his personal mobile phone and sent a short farewell message to his distant wife. He then powered down his phone.
He was but a minor character in the military. He did not understand the politics happening among the upper echelon of the nation or the world. However, he knew very clearly what kind of horrors were present in that vortex.
Hence, he knew that he was powerless to resist his orders.
He could only hope for that mysterious person to be cooperative
Sir!
Three minutes later, the driver suddenly pointed at a corner and shouted, I see it!
Startled, Zongravimon immediately turned to the direction the driver pointed at.
Sure enough, what entered his eyes was a huge metal arch standing between mountains and forests
Chapter 86 - Tool, No; Weapon, Yes! (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 86 C Tool, No; Weapon, Yes! (3)
Okay, we can turn off the weather module now. Thailand is, after all, a tropical region. If exposed to a snowy environment for long periods, who knows what kind of chain reaction it will set off. The Earths atmospheric system has always been susceptible and complex.
After saying so, Chen Yu pressed down on the Sunny button, returning the temperature, humidity, and wind pressure of the area back to its original state.
Instantly, the howling wind stopped, and the dark clouds cleared. The sun also started shining its hot rays on the ground, melting away the snowflakes that were still descending toward the ground and turning them into rainwater.
[Too awesome.]
[UP, you should just become God.]
[Seoul is currently experiencing a typhoon. Host, can you go strengthen it?]
[Ditto!]
[Agreed.]
[My son still cant write]
Chen Yu ignored the bullet comments flashing across his watchs screen.
Returning the Weather Control Module to its box, Chen Yu faced the camera, saying, This is the end of our review in Bangkok. Next up, well choose a place thats not populated but iconic to conduct the more powerful extreme weather tests. Well get a full understanding of this products performance.
After saying so, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and called up the holographic Earth to establish a spatial link.
Dududududu
At this time, however, the sound of a propeller rotating at high speeds entered his ears.
Instinctively turning toward the direction of the sound, Chen Yu noticed a military helicopter flying straight toward him from a distance.
Additionally, he also noticed billowing smoke and dust on the distant highway, and amidst the dust clouds were multiple military vehicles
The army?
Tensing up, Chen Yu promptly sped up his actions.
Mr. Transdimensional Review, please wait a minute! Seeing that Chen Yu appeared to be leaving, the military helicopter stopped coordinating its speed with the vehicles below it and immediately accelerated. At the same time, someone from the helicopter started speaking in awkward Chinese using a loudspeaker. We are representatives of Thailands military! We wish to invite you as a guest, Mr. Transdimensional Review! I repeat! We are representatives of Thailands military
Whats with that strange tone? Straightening his mask, Chen Yu inwardly shivered. Also, whats up with Mr. Transdimensional Review?
[What? Its actually the army?]
[The cast this time is on another level]
[A helicopter! Its even the Americans AH-64! Heavens!]
[What an excellent guise.]
[What a way to burn funds!]
[Fortune favors the bold! Quickly use the comet impact!]
[I refuse to believe this is an act even if it kills me]
Initially, Chen Yu wanted to interact with his livestream audience by letting them vote on his next destination. However, now that the army had arrived, he no longer had the spare time to do so.
After a few quick swipes, he chose a familiar location and established a spatial link.
Then, the space within the metal arch started fluctuating, and the world beyond the arch transformed into a barren desert.
Mr. Transdimensional Review! Please stay! Please stay
As the helicopter flew increasingly closer, the shouts became increasingly deafening as well.
Looking at the camera, Chen Yu said, The person in charge of Thailand is probably watching the livestream, right? Next time, please hire a translator thats professional and wont act coquettish.
After saying so, Chen Yu swept his haori into the air before stepping into the portal.
Immediately afterward, like a mirage, the huge metal arch actually disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only a cloud of white mist
It dis-disappeared
Colonel Zongravimons eyes straightened at this sight, his spirit greatly shocked.
Similarly, the gaze of the jeeps driver also straightened
Bang!
Thump Thump Thump
As a result, in less than five seconds, the jeep had crashed out of the highway and rolled into the nearby forest.
On the other side of the world, in Africas no mans land, the Sahara Desert
The sky was still dark, with moonlight shining down on the ground. Chen Yu shivered when a cold breeze blew by.
Everyone should be very familiar with this place. Ive visited here during the previous livestream. It is none other than the Sahara Desert! Chen Yu said. Putting down the white box and sitting on a pile of sand, he continued, However, unlike before, this time, we have warped to a truly deserted part of the Sahara Desert. Can you see these fine sands? Theyre finer than even plaster. Theres also not a hint of moisture in them. I find it truly hard to imagine that any life can survive here.
After saying so, Chen Yu opened the white box once more and took out the Weather Control Module. He then sat it on the sand.
There are no people within a hundred-mile radius, so we can do it boldly this time. Everyone, type what kind of weather you wish to see on the public chat.
[Comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
[Comet impact.]
[Dont ask. If you ask, all youre gonna get is comet impact]
Chen Yu:
Fine, then. If you guys dont want to participate, Ill decide myself.
After saying so, Chen Yu exited the general weather category and entered the extreme weather category. Of the many extreme weather types listed, he chose the fifth entry.
Massive Snowstorm!
Pzz Pzz Pzz
After the sound of electric currents flowing appeared, a shot of red light burst out of the weather modules antenna! Immediately, white clouds started crowding and overlapping with each other in the originally open sky. And in the blink of an eye, these white clouds had turned into dark clouds. The clouds also moved increasingly closer to the ground.
The sky, darkened.
The howling winds lifted up the sand on the ground, instantly covering the world around Chen Yu in sand.
Looking at this apocalyptic scene, the 200,000 viewers watching Chen Yus livestream were shocked. For a time, even the number of bullet comments being made had decreased significantly.
One could only experience the terror of nature by personally witnessing it in action.
This was especially true for Chen Yu, who was standing at the scene. When he looked at the Weather Control Module again, he could help but have complicated feelings.
Compared to the 404 Heat Ray Gun that possessed incredible single-target destructive power, the Weather Control Module did not seem particularly unusual.
However, if this unassuming item fell into the wrong hands, it could easily wipe out human civilization
Meanwhile, this unassuming object was actually available in abundance in the future civilization.
Sowill humans end up playing themselves to death?
While Chen Yu was having such thoughts, the first snowflake fell from the sky.
Afterward, blankets of snow started descending along with the strong winds, the snow instantly dyeing the world around Chen Yu in white. The visibility of the area was now lower than two meters.
[Its snowing in the Sahara Desert. Im genuinely convinced now.]
[The might of a weather weapon.]
[Next up, make it rain in the North Pole, create a sandstorm on the Pacific Ocean, release extreme thermal currents in the Antarctica, extreme cold currents in the Guangdong Province, and finally summon a comet to strike Yellowstone Park]
[It would be great if we really had such technology. We can also have snowball fights in Wuhan City.]
[My son still cant write.]
[To tell the truth, Im feeling pessimistic about the human race.]
[I just made a post of this livestream on Tieba, yet it got deleted in seconds?]
[If you still think that the host is acting until now, youre either stupid or have brain damage]
Wiping away the snow collected on his mask, Chen Yu pressed down on the Sunny and Recovery button. The weather module instantly dispersed the dark clouds gathered above him.
Under the shine of the rising sun, the snow that had yet to melt away reflected the golden light. Looking around, Chen Yu could not help but be mesmerized by the beautiful scene before him.
I feel like Ive just been reincarnated. Spreading his arms, Chen Yu quietly gazed at the falling golden snowflakes. He then muttered, The darker the clouds are, the more beautiful the sunshine will be once they disappear.
Maybe, this is technology.
Sucking in a breath of cold air, Chen Yu returned the Weather Control Module to its box. He then stood up and approached the Interstellar Portal.
I suddenly feel that theres an error in the direction of this livestream. Rather than testing the products performance in an uninhabited area, lets use it for something more useful. Well show its value from a different angle.
Theres a typhoon blowing in Seoul, right?
Thats a good location
Chapter 87 - Surging Popularity
Chapter 87: Surging Popularity
Seoul, the capital of Korea. It was one of the 21st centurys top 10 cities.
Yesterday, the typhoon Bell assaulted the area. So far, it had already caused over 30 deaths, hundreds of injuries, and power outages to more than 400,000 homes. Some buildings had even collapsed as a result of the typhoon.
In addition, roughly 600 flights had been canceled.
The highest wind speed in some areas even exceeded 240kmph.
Moreover, the National Meteorological Department had already issued a red typhoon warning, signaling that the disaster was expanding further.
Maybe because of the rise in global temperature, extreme weather could be seen occurring much more frequently in recent years.
Of course, compared to mega typhoons like Typhoon Hagibis and Typhoon Kalmaegi, Typhoon Bell, which had landed on Seoul this time, was still only considered a little trouble.
Morning.
10:23 A.M.
Seoul, Eulwangri Beach:
As Typhoon Bell raged on and massive waves crashed into the beach, a huge metal arch that was five meters high and three meters wide suddenly appeared on the beach.
When the people, who had failed to evacuate in time and were taking shelter inside the coastal buildings, saw this metal arch, their eyes instantly widened in shock.
Wha-?!
As soon as Chen Yu stepped through the Interstellar Portal, the raging storm immediately showered him in water, drenching him. Even his masked face was not spared.
[Did the UP really come to Korea? Im studying abroad in Seoul right now!]
[These rapid spatial transition shots really are amazing.]
[I see police officers organizing a retreat! Dont tell me theyre actors as well?]
[Whats with the sudden positive energy? I cant get used to this.]
[Positive my ass! I bet hes here to make things worse!]
[If UP really can change Seouls weather, then Ill really believe in him.]
[???????!!!] (Please do your best, brother!)
[???????????!] (You are the hero of Korea!)
[Yameteh!] (Stop!)
[Host, its time to summon a comet! On behalf of the people, give Korea a fatal blow!]
[What to hit?]
[What to hit?]
[UP, can you release extreme cold currents? That will definitely double the lethality of the typhoon. Dont call me cruel. Im only suggesting this for science.]
Chen Yu did not pay any attention to the livestreams bullet comments.
Due to the storm, not only did his haori become totally drenched, but even his vision had become very blurry. He could just barely find a platform amidst the raging storm and sit down. He then pulled out the Weather Control Module from the box and placed it atop the platform.
?????????! (Who are you?!)
Just as Chen Yu was about to exit the weather modules extreme weather menu, a mans shout suddenly entered his ears.
Turning around, Chen Yu saw that a chubby policeman was currently shouting gibberish while waving a police baton at him.
Shut the hell up, Chen Yu mumbled in an inaudible tone before turning around and returning his attention to the weather module.
He could not speak to the other party. Otherwise, he would expose his voice.
As a careful streamer, he definitely wouldnt let anyone discover his true identity. Hence, he could not leave behind even a single loophole.
This was professionalism.
Pzz Pzz Pzz
When he pushed down on the holographic Sunny button, the weather modules antenna shot a red beam into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds gathered in the sky started dispersing.
The wind, stopped.
The rain, stopped.
At this moment, as if the whole world had gone silent, only the sound of waves hitting the beach could be heard.
[???]
[Nani? (ب?)!]
[Im in Korea The typhoon actually stopped]
[Im in Korea as well]
[Impossible!]
[Haha! The ones above are all bullet comment actors. Im in Korea as well, but the truth is, the typhoon has grown even stronger!]
[Beautifully done!]
[Do you have nothing better to do than to tell lies?! The typhoon really stopped!]
[I think Im watching the creation of history]
[Look at the news! Such a big event will definitely be reported!]
[The UP has long since been banned throughout the internet. Dont even think of finding any news on him.]
[No need to look at the news! Kim Soo-min is currently livestreaming on Seouls beach! The typhoon actually stopped! Crap, crap, crap!][1]
[??????] (The typhoon has stopped)
[Im in Seoul as well! I swear! The typhoon has stopped! Theres no way to lie about his!]
[Could the UP really be reviewing future technologies?]
[Stop joking, alright? You guys are really scaring me now]
[Go look at Kim Soo-mins livestream. Youll have your world views shattered.]
[Is it not illegal to spread rumors?]
[My son still cant write]
Clang
The Korean policemans baton fell on the ground, his eyes looking at Chen Yu as if he was looking at a ghost.
Shaking off some of the rainwater off his body, Chen Yu stood up and picked up the Weather Control Module. After carefully returning it into its box, he picked up the box and made his way back to the Interstellar Portal.
Seeing that Chen Yu was walking away, the policeman quickly snapped out of his daze and raised his button while shouting, ??! (Stop!)
However, Chen Yu could not understand even a single syllable of what the policeman shouted. Hence, he walked straight into the Sahara Desert that was found beyond the Interstellar Portal without stopping.
Seoul was different from Si Racha. It was the capital of Korea, and there were plenty of military and police forces stationed here. If he delayed his stay for even a while longer, he might very well be caught up in unnecessary trouble.
??! (Stop!)
However, Chen Yu never thought that the policeman would actually chase after him. While standing on the other side of the Interstellar Portal, the policeman waved his baton while alternated between shouting in Korean and English in the hopes that Chen Yu could understand him.
Standing in the snowy desert, Chen Yu fell silent for a moment before extending a finger to the policeman and hooking it.
The meaning behind his gesture was obviousCome over if you dare!
Stunned, the policeman instinctively retreated.
Seeing this, Chen Yu didnt bother communicating with the other party any further as he reached out his hand and terminated the spatial link.
Its getting quite late. Before I realized it, more than an hour has passed by already.
Turning around to face the camera, Chen Yu slightly adjusted his opera mask before crossing his fingers and concluding, Technology has always been a double-edged sword. Suppose we can use it mischief and destruction to amplify the evil of human nature. In that case, we can naturally use it to save people from crises and further development to promote the goodness of human nature.
This is the end of todays livestream review. Thank you, Pilotage Technology Group, for providing me with this high-tech product. IT has given me a deeper understanding of technology. Tomorrow, at 9 oclock in the morning, I will release the edited version of this livestream. I hope everyone here can help report and spread it.
Pausing briefly, Chen Yu removed the Weather Control Module from its box before waving the box itself at the camera, saying, According to our initial agreement, I will give this box made of special material to my fans. Ill drop it on our countrys Beijing. Hopefully, someone fated can find it.
Lastly, allow me to digress. After the next livestream, my first quarterly evaluation will be complete. If I successfully pass it and get promoted, I believe I can share even more exciting products with everyone during the second quarter.
Well, then. Lets meet again on Sunday next month!
Although the number of bullet comments being made had skyrocketed along with his ending speech, Chen Yu did not pay them any attention. Pressing down on his watch, he turned off his livestream, plunging everyones screens into darkness.
At the same time, in a villa located on Jinzhou Citys outskirts
Jumping out of his seat, the special situation teams middle-aged team leader hurriedly picked up his satellite phone and dialed a number.
Beijing Division! ORganize all personnel including police officers, traffic police, special agents, and security personnel to find the box as soon as possible! Ill handle communications with the superior departments! Quick!
Understood!
Chapter 88 - I Want to Fly
Chapter 88 C I Want to Fly
In the end, the box made of special material was not found by any police officers, traffic police, special agents, or security personnel.
Instead, a drug dealer discovered it. Afterward, that drug dealer got raided.
According to a neighbors description, the scene back then was full of shouting, police sirens, and people.
After hurrying his way to Beijing by plane, the special situation teams middle-aged team leader arrived at a confidential research institute a short distance away from the capital city. It was here that he came across the special box.
With his authority, though, he could only observe the special box through a safety barrier.
Team Leader, this is the letter Transdimensional Reviews UP left inside the box, a staff member of the research institute said as he handed a paper to the middle-aged team leader.
Hurriedly receiving the paper, the middle-aged team leader unfolded it and carefully read through the letter line by line. And the more he read, the more solemn his expression became.
Five minutes later, he folded the paper and asked, Can I bring this copy away?
You can, but try to keep it a secret and dont lose it.
I know. Have you analyzed the original copy yet? Are the paper and ink used domestic?
Weve analyzed them. They shouldnt be domestic. Were currently in the process of analyzing for more detailed parameters.
Alright.
Nodding, the middle-aged man carefully stored the letter into the folder he carried before walking out of Laboratory No. 2. After getting disinfected, he retrieved up the satellite phone that he had left in the research institutes care and dialed a number.
Hello? Im the team leader. Halt all active operations in Jinzhou City and have all personnel go into a hidden and observation state. Well talk further once Im done with my meeting.
Disconnecting the call, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes as he fell into deep thought.
Interesting
Jinzhou City, Chen Yus room:
After removing his drenched haori, Chen Yu picked up the towel hung on the wall and wiped himself dry. He then changed into a new set of clothes before falling flat on his bed and rolling around repeatedly.
Mmmmm
After resting for a moment, Chen Yu sat up and looked at his phone to check for the time. He then opened up WeChat and typed a message.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I dont really want to be here.]
[Chen Yu: Theres no problem if I give away that box, right? Moreover, I didnt generate any profits from it. Im simply giving it away as a gift. If its not allowed, I can still go and retrieve it.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: While your actions arent truly considered a pure act of gifting, it is also far from breaching our contract.]
[Chen Yu: In that case, I can rest assured. You can start applying for my third livestreams product now. Make sure its amazing.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please rest assured on this. Our interests are the same.]
[Chen Yu: I trust you.]
[Transdimensional Review: Oh, right. Mr. Chen, do you have any intentions of exchanging the Weather Control Module for another product?]
[Chen Yu: Nope. This thing is quite fun. Ill keep it for myself.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. I hope you have a fun and exciting time playing with it.]
[Chen Yu: Sure. Ill stop chatting here. If theres time, Ill invite you over to drink some water.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well.]
Turning off his phone, Chen Yu raised his watch and swiped its screen. He then tapped into the Transdimensional Store page to check the five new products on offer.

Chen Yu quickly ignored the first three products after giving them a glance. This was especially true for the third product. He was afraid that he would start generating an image of the product in his mind if he kept thinking about it.
Lenient Confession Hat This things quite dangerous and not very useful to me. Lets just go with the aircraft. Ive already wanted it since before.
Having decided so, Chen Yu tapped on the screen and bought the fourth productthe Spiral Ascension Aircraft.
[23 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 1]
As the prompt text disappeared, space before him immediately distorted as a small space-time wormhole formed in the middle of his room. A long white box then fell out of the wormhole.
Im broke again. Is this Transdimensional Store recommending me products based on my points?
While muttering so, Chen Yu picked up the box and removed the seal. He then pulled an exquisitely crafted propeller from the box.
Each of the three propellers was roughly half a meter long and thoroughly black. They were also made using a composite material that was both hard and elastic. Three metal clamps also extended down from the central bearing.
The three clamps hung down at three different heights. At a glance, Chen Yu could tell that these clamps were meant to fix his body in place.
After thoroughly inspecting the aircraft several times, Chen Yu rubbed his palms together and excitedly wore the propeller on his head. He then affixed the three metal clamps on his shoulders, waist, and hips.
With this technology, he could be considered to have satisfied the desire of mammals to fly
It actually looks quite cool?
After making a few poses in front of the mirror, he sat cross-legged on the floor and pulled out the instruction manual from the box, making sure to read the instructions carefully.
However, after reading just the first page, he could not help but be shocked.
On the instruction manuals title page, it clearly stated the following:
[This product is controlled by brainwaves. So long as the word takeoff appears in the users mind, the Spiral Ascending Aircraft will start immediately.]
Hum!
Wait, no!
Before Chen Yu could react, the propeller above his head started spinning, carrying Chen Yu into the air
Hum, hum, hum!!!
Chapter 89 - How Did You Get Up There?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 89 C How Did You Get Up There?
Sixth Highs monthly exams for the day finally ended.
Picking up her school bag, Little Peach marched toward the school gate with stiff but powerful steps.
On her way back home, she avoided eye-contact with others while also behaving courteously to her fellow pedestrians, stopped at red lights, and continued walking at green lights. Even her gait was measured, the steps she took never deviating by more than half a centimeter.
Fifteen minutes later, she arrived before the apartment building the Chen family resided in and entered the elevator.
Ho-Hold up! Wait for me!
At this time, a young man carrying a large bag filled with milk tea and snacks came running over in a hurry, the man stretching out his leg to stop the elevator door from closing.
Ah? Little Chen? Isnt it Sunday today? You have school today as well?
Mhm. Little Peach nodded before pressing the 19th-floor button.
Get my floor for me, will you? My hands are tied up at the moment. I had to queue for half an hour to buy these snacks. I was in such a rush that I even forgot to use the bathroom after waking up this morning. I can barely hold it in now.
Hearing these words, Little Peach could not help but be stunned as she looked at the young suspiciously.
She did not recognize this youth. She also did not know which floor the other party lived on. However, judging by his tone of voice, this young seemed to be closely familiar with her master.
Hence, to avoid exposing herself and hurting her masters relationship with his neighbors, she felt that she should not ask which floor the youth lived on.
After thinking for a little, her brain cleverly came up with a surefire solution to this problem, and that was to press all the buttons from the 2nd to the 22nd floors. She didnt even let the alarm button off the hook
Meanwhile, the neighbor, who had sandwiched his crotch with his thighs, stared at Little Peach with a disbelief look. ???
After accomplishing her deed, Little Peach nodded and politely smiled at the young man.
His house was bound to be on one of the floors, right?!
So she thought
Ding!
A few minutes later, Little Peach reached the 19th floor and exited the elevator. After leaving the elevator, she turned back to look at the small puddle found at a corner of the elevator. Humans are so troublesome.
1
Pulling out a key, she unlocked the security door to the Chen familys abode. As soon as she entered the living room, Chen Erke and Chen Sanke promptly dashed at her.
Big Brother is back! Chen Erke said as she swiftly hugged Little Peachs left leg. She then started rubbing her head against the disguised robot girls leg.
Big Brother is-ah.
Chen Sanke was not only slower, but she also messed up her steps and tripped herself before she could reach Little Peach.
Mhm, Im back.
Not daring to speak too much, Little Peach only nodded and gave a brief response before shaking off the two little girls. After arriving before Chen Yus bedroom, she pulled out a second key and opened the door.
Huh? Wheres Mr. Chen?
Im above you.
Stunned, Little Peach raised her head and found that Chen Yu was currently stuck on the ceiling, his body rapidly spinning around in circles.
Bang!
At a loss on what to do, Little Peach hurriedly shut the door and asked, Ho-How did you get up there?
The design of this thing is broken! The propeller stopped spinning already, yet why am I still spinning?! Chen Yu bellowed as he pointed at the propeller that was stuck into the ceiling. Hurry up and read the manual for me! How do I stop it? I cant hold on anymore!
Uh! Mhm!
Hurriedly nodding, Little Peach picked up the instruction manual on the ground and hastily read through it. She then said, Uh If you wish to accelerate, think of the word accelerate, and the speed will increase.
Hum, hum, hum!
As soon as Little Peach said these words, Chen Yu started spinning even faster, his body seemingly becoming a spinning top
You fool! I asked you to find a way to stop it! Dont say any other-Blergh! Other nonsense!
Oh! If If you want to stop the aircrafts operation, think of the words Take-off Prohibited Immediately, and the aircraft will stop running.
Ta-Take-off Prohibited Immediately! Afraid that his mind would fail him at a critical moment, Chen Yu even shouted the keywords out loud.
In the next moment, the rotation stopped.
Click.
The three clamps linking Chen Yu to the aircraft also unlocked, and he hurriedly struggled free from them before falling to the ground.
Mr. Chen, are you alright? Little Peach asked worriedly as she ran over to help Chen Yu up. Your face looks so red.
Youll turn red if you get spun like that as well! Bring me the trash can, quickly! Ugh Blergh Cough, cough
After vomiting for several minutes, Chen Yu wiped his mouth before laying down on his bed, panting. Currently, he felt as if the world around him was spinning.
W-Why is the damned deactivation key so long?! How can you even guess it without reading the instruction manual?!
You shouldve finished reading the instructions before operating it.
Stop talking about this. Find Find a way to get that propeller down for me. I need to lie down for a while. Ugh Im dying
Understood.
After saying so, Little Peach took the chair in front of the study desk and placed it beneath the Spiral Ascending Aircraft. She then jumped onto the chair and grabbed the propeller with both hands before yanking hard.
Crack!
The propeller came out of the ceiling.
At the same time, fragments of the ceiling board and concrete also fell.
Chen Yu:
Mr. Chen, I got it down, Little Peach joyfully said as she raised the propeller in her hands.
Clang!
As soon as Little Peach was done speaking, a large piece of concrete fell from the ceiling and hit Little Peach on the forehead. However, despite the heavy impact, Little Peach remained smiling as if nothing had happened at all.
Oh, my god
Covering his face, Chen Yu no longer wished to think about anything as he shut his eyes.
Meanwhile, after jumping off the chair, Little Peach carefully inspected the Spiral Ascending Aircraft before saying, Mr. Chen, there are no damages. This propeller is very sturdy.
Yes, but the room isnt.
Its fine. The damage to the ceiling is only on the surface.
Fine.
Patting his head and feeling slightly more comfortable, Chen Yu sat up and looked at the ceiling. No more rocks will fall down, right? Ill get injured if one lands on my head.
That wont happen. Everything that will drop has dropped.
Clang!
In the next moment, another piece of concrete fell and landed on Little Peachs head.
What were you saying?
I said everything that will drop has dropped.
Clang!
Another piece of concrete fell
Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu asked, I know youre not afraid of pain, but it looks very unpleasant for me. Can you not stand directly below that hole?
Okay. Taking a few steps back, Little Peach asked, Mr. Chen, do you need me to repair it? All I need are the raw materials.
No, there are hundreds of lives living in this building.
Getting out of bed, Chen Yu circled around the damaged area of the ceiling and walked up to Little Peach. He then grabbed the Spiral Ascending Aircraft from her hands and gave it a thorough inspection, finding that there was indeed no damages to the aircraft. At most, there were some scratches on the three propeller blades.
As expected of a material from the future. It really is strong.
After placing the aircraft to a corner of the room, Chen Yu looked up at the ceiling and felt his head ache.
He could only seek out the help of professionals to repair this kind of damage. While he was at it, he might as well get his floor repaired as well.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu made an appointment with a renovation professional. After doing so, he returned his attention to Little Peach and asked, Did todays exam go well?
Yes! Little Peach nodded.
Did you know how to answer all the exam questions?
I didnt know how to answer some of them. Moreover, the logic of many questions is inherently wrong.
You dont have to worry about that, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. Did you behave normally throughout the entire journey?
Very normal. Little Peach nodded heavily. I even managed to tighten your relationship with one of your neighbors in the elevator.
Its fine if you just act normally. Im mainly afraid youll expose your real identity, Chen Yu solemnly said. You are the only loophole in my impeccable concealment.
Rest assured, under your careful guidance, I can already perform both crudely and finely. I definitely wont expose you.
Its crude in most matters, but subtle in some!
Right. Crude in most matters, but subtle in some.
Stop using this phrase. Switch to using cautious and meticulous.
Cautious and meticulous.
Chapter 90 - New Storm has Already Appeared
Chapter 90 C A New Storm has Already Appeared
Taking out a broom and dustpan, Chen Yu cleaned up all the debris on the ground. He then looked at Little Peach and asked, Can you constantly maintain your invisibility?
Theres a time limit. Whats wrong, Mr. Chen?
Then go change your face back. Im getting goosebumps looking at you.
Okay! Little Peach said, her eyes glowing with excitement. She immediately ran up to the Interstellar Portal, called out its console, and established a spatial link.
You seem very happy.
Thats right! Even robots have a love for beauty.
Oh. Chen Yu nodded expressionlessly to Little Peachs words. Once Little Peach ran into the warehouse, he promptly shut the door and disconnected the spatial link, cursing, To hell with your beauty standards.
Afterward, Chen Yu walked up to the mirror and looked at his own reflection, muttering, The aesthetics of the future truly is frightening.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door to his room.
Chen Erkes voice came from outside the door, Brother, you have a delivery.
Leave it outside the door, Chen Yu shouted. After taking one last look at the mirror, he moved up to the door and perked his ears. Only after hearing Chen Erkes footsteps growing distant did he relax and open the door.
Before he had his room repaired, he definitely could not let any of his family members find out about his rooms state.
Picking up the package left outside his door, Chen Yu walked into the living room. While tearing open his package, he asked, Second Eldest, wheres your elder sister?
After sending me back, Big Sis left with mom to shop for new clothes.
New clothes? What for?
Its for the new years.
Isnt it a little too soon for that?!
Mom said that clothes are cheaper during this time. Theyll become more expensive once its close to the new year.
Fine.
Taking out the three external hard drives from the delivery package, Chen Yu returned to his room and fell into deep thought.
Editing videos was indeed a very lucrative job. However, now that he had Little Peach generating income for him, the money he could make from editing videos was no longer as enticing as before.
Moreover, now that his family was no longer under challenging times like before, there was even less need to continue editing videos for money.
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu toyed around with one of the hard discs as he picked up his phone and messaged Blooming Clouds.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Blooming Clouds: Im here. Did you receive the hard drives?]
[Chen Yu: I did.]
[Blooming Clouds: There are slightly more materials this time, so I ended up sending three hard drives. How long will it take you to edit them?]
[Chen Yu: Lets break up.]
[Blooming Clouds: ???]
[Chen Yu: Im not editing anymore. Lets end our partnership.]
[Blooming Clouds: Brother, dont joke with me, alright?]
[Chen Yu: Im not joking. Im earning too little, so I decided to stop. So, thats it.]
[Blooming Clouds: A ploy! I knew you would use this ploy! Alright, we can raise the price. I understand.]
[Chen Yu: I dont care how much of a raise you give me. My studios closing shop. Bye-bye.]
[Blooming Clouds: Brother! Big Brother! Dont do this!]
[Chen Yu: I have plenty of little sisters already.]
[Blooming Clouds: Daddy!]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Blooming Clouds: Daddy, lets not mess around anymore, alright? We can negotiate the price. Ive already accepted so many jobs. If you dont edit them, Ill drown in losses.]
[Chen Yu: Not doing it. Im tired.]
[Blooming Clouds: No way! How can you stop just like that?! Do you still have any spirit of contract?!
[Chen Yu: Hah Seeing as youre such a pitiful little girl, Ill edit one last time for you. Send the money over first.]
[Blooming Clouds transferred 30,000 yuan to you.]
[Chen Yu: OK. Just wait for me.]
Exiting the conversation and looking at his WeChat wallet, Chen Yu saw that there was indeed an additional 30,000 yuan. At this time, he also suddenly thought about Little Peach.
I guess leaving her alone in the warehouse is a little too cruel. After all, she is merely an infant robot. I shouldnt take offense at a childs blabberings
Sighing, Chen Yu walked up to the Interstellar Portal and established a spatial link to the suburban warehouse. As he pushed open the door, he immediately noticed Little Peach, who had reverted to her previous form, squatting in a corner and drawing circles on the ground.
Mr. Chen!
Like a warm light shining down from heaven, the portals light instantly melted Little Peachs cold mood. Slowly standing up, Little Peachs eyes reddened as she said, I I knew it. Mr. Chen, I knew you wouldnt-
Thud.
Clack, clack, clack
Before Little Peach could finish speaking, Chen Yu tossed a laptop and three hard drives across the portal and said, Edit the videos in these hard drives using Transdimensional Marketings software. Afterward, focus on coding.
Little Peachlet me off the hook
Bang!
Shutting down the Interstellar Portal, the guilt in Chen Yus heart promptly disappeared.
It wont be cruel if I leave her with a laptop.
At the same time, on a certain deserted highway outside Jinzhou City, a Chevrolet Enjoy slowly stopped at the side of the road.
Clack!
The doors to the car opened simultaneously, and a total of 14 people walked out of the vehicle.
Among these 14 people, there was one white man, one black man, and the rest were Asians. The group had both males and females, and their ages ranged between 17 to 40.
We can finally take action after hiding for half a month, the white man, who acted as the team leader, said as he adjusted his ruffled coat. In unskilled Chinese, he said, The environment here is quite good. There are quite a few hiding spots.
Did every other team respond? an Asian woman asked.
They did, but its not easy to maintain contact with everyone, the white man said in a low tone. There are many open and secret security posts, both inside and outside the city. While everything looks calm, almost every household is under surveillance. Jinzhou City is basically a city under martial law right now.
That will be difficult for us to operate, then.
However, it is precisely because of this point that the higher-ups have judged that Transdimensional Reviews uploader is in this city.
Is there any possibility of it being a smokescreen?
Its possible, but we cant do anything about it, the white man said, shrugging. The moment that uploader tossed those boxes to the various countries governments this morning, the situation had already changed. The cabinet has already issued orders that we cannot let even the slightest of opportunities get away.
That is to say At this moment, the black man of the group squinted and guessed, The materials used to make those boxes really came from the future?
Thats right. At the very least, those boxes cannot be reproduced with our current technology.
Upon receiving the white mans confirmation, silence fell over the group. Every group member wore complex expressions on their faces as they felt their world view nearing collapse.
Moreover, every box contained a letter. These letters have caused the entire world to tense up.
What was written inside those letters?
How would I know? Pulling out a cap from his coat and putting it on, the white man said, Just focus on performing your respective tasks. Split up and take action. Also, get rid of that driver.
Understood.
Everyone answered. They then split into groups of two and split up from each other.
The white group leaders partner was the black man. While hiding themselves within the farmland beside the highway, the two covertly advanced.
Leader, our task on the surface is only to wait for information and snipe the target. What are the tasks of the other six groups?
I dont know. Shaking his head, the white man said, Every group has a different task. We might even have conflicting tasks.
Is that so
Thats right. Revealing a mysterious smile, the white man turned to the black man and said, Moreover, who knows? We might even have different individual tasks. Aint that right? My partner?
Maybe youre right. However, there remains one question. After saying so, the black man lowered his head and looked at his own skin color, muttering, Is our true task to become prisoners?

Chapter 91 C Dumber than Average
Night, 1 A.M.
Inside the physics substitute building of Sixth Highs main teaching block, a wooden door suddenly appeared out of thin air at the rooms eastern wall.
Creak
As the wooden door slowly opened, a head popped out of the gap.
This head belonged to none other than Little Peach.
She looked left, right, up, and downand then left, right, up, and down again, before looking left, right
Bang!
With a vein bulging on his forehead, Chen Yu kicked Little Peach through the door and said, What are you looking at? Why cant you just walk through the door?
Mr. Chen, didnt you tell me to be cautious and meticulous Little Peach said while timidly covering her head.
I kicked your butt; why are you covering your head?
Oh.
Upon being reprimanded, Little Peach hurriedly covered her butt and snuck glances at Chen Yu.
Stop wasting time. The teachers dont have work on Sunday. The physics and chemistry papers havent been marked yet, so hurry up and find my exam papers. Once we change the answers, I can go home to sleep.
Okay.
After the two walked into the office, they began their search according to the exam room number. In no time at all, they located the box containing the exam papers for Chen Yus exam room.
Taking out the stack of papers inside the box, Chen Yu focused his attention and started rapidly flipping through the top-left corner of the stack, searching for the words Chen Yu on the papers.
Five minutes later, after reaching the final paper, Chen Yu could not help but look up in a daze.
Did you find it? Little Peach asked.
No. Did the teachers take it away to mark individually?
Maybe you missed it? Look through it again.
Mhm.
Nodding, Chen Yu started flipping through the papers once more. This time, though, he slowed down his speed considerably.
When he was halfway through the stack, he suddenly pulled out a set of exam papers. Pointing at the name written on the top-left corner, he looked at Little Peach and asked, This What is the meaning of this name?
Stepping forward, Little Peach looked at the name and said, Its a name. Is there a problem?
Ruffle, ruffle Smack!
Rolling up the papers, Chen Yu ruthlessly used it to smack Little Peachs head, saying, You fool! You big fool! You are standing in for me! What are you writing your name for?!
Huh? Taking a step back, Little Peach widened her eyes and covered her mouth as she exclaimed, I see! So, you can do it like that as well!
Smack!
Smacking Little Peachs head once more, Chen Yu bellowed, I should be the one saying those words! How else can you do it?!
I-Im sorry, I actually failed to consider this point Im only a romance robot
Smack!
Didnt you say everything went well?
Smack!
Didnt you say you wouldnt expose me?
Smack, smack, smack
Mr. Chen, please stop smacking. Rubbing the top of her head, Little Peach said, Im fine, but the exam papers will get ruined.
Hah Taking in a deep breath, Chen Yu tried his best to calm himself down. Youll leave me in a very passive state if you continue messing with me like this. I already knew you were unreliable before, but I never thought that you were actually unreliable to this extent.
I-Im sorry. I wont repeat it again next time.
There wont be a next time! Just focus on writing codes! Coding is your only saving grace.
After saying so, Chen Yu sat down on a teachers seat and opened his exam papers. He then took out some correction fluid and a ballpoint pen, quickly changing Little Peachs name to his own. When he was about to continue correcting any incorrect answers, however, after looking through several answers, he lost his grip over his pen
You, come over here, Chen Yu said as he hooked his trembling finger at Little Peach.
Mr Mr. Chen, is there a problem?
The first question asked you to choose the correct answer, yet you wrote Why not take the plane? instead of choosing an answer Leaving that aside, the second short answer question Is your brain alright?
The second short answer question Stretching out her head and taking a peek, she asked in confusion, D-Did I answer incorrectly? I was very confident about this question.
Question: A dog is crossing the road. A high-speed vehicle suddenly brakes, and the passengers in the car lean forward. What is the principle behind this reaction? Your answer: The passengers wished to see whether the dog is dead or not. It is the principle of curiosity. My god
Rolling up the exam papers once more, Chen Yu smacked Little Peachs head and bellowed, You call this being confident?! I already told you not to answer questions you dont know how to!
D-Did I really answer incorrectly
Lets set aside this question as well. Lets return to the multiple-choice questions. Question: What is the earliest form of wireless communication. Four options were given to you below. However, instead of choosing smoke signals, drums, pigeons, or others, you wrote dreaming. Are you sick?
Little Peach:
Theres more. A 0.5kg ball rebounds to a height of 4cm after falling to the floor. Your answer: How did the other party know this; For the mechanical energy challenge question that asks about the force required to pull a small cart, you answered that the cart cant hold so many items. You even drew a truck and wrote that a truck can carry more load. You
Little Peach:
Just focus on answering the questions! Why are you writing all this nonsense?! The entire paper is filled with such answers! How do you expect me to correct this?!
Tear!
After saying so, Chen Yu tore apart the exam papers, crumpled it into a ball, and stored it into his pocket. He then said, Bring me a new set. There are definitely some in the office. Ill rewrite the entire thing.
Are you not going to correct the answers anymore?
Correct my ass! Bring it over quickly!
Yes, sir
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a multi-story building tens of meters away from the office, a figure slowly put down the high-powered binoculars they used and disappeared into the shadows under the cover of night
By the time the human-robot duo returned home, it was already half-past-two in the morning.
Dragging his exhausted body into the room, Chen Yu threw himself onto his bed without hesitation. He did not even bother changing into his sleepwear.
Mr. Chen, how about I continue going to school in your place for tomorrow? You can have a proper rest at home.
When the day comes when Im tired of living, sure. Until then, stay home and write programs. Ive seen through you already. Youre not suitable for anything other than computers.
Im a romance robot. Romance is my strong point.
Youre good at receiving a beating as well.
Lowering her head, Little Peach frustratingly said, Im sorry. I dont have any other skills and experience integrated into my processor.
Forget it. Im sleeping. You go back to coding. I should also thank you today. Youve helped me quite a lot.
Hehe. Upon hearing Chen Yus words of gratitude, Little Peachs expression instantly changed as she revealed a dazzling smile. I got praised. Favorability plus 20!
Damned fool.
Fed up with Little Peachs antics, Chen Yu pulled his blanket and covered his face.
Meanwhile, Little Peach stood still and continued observing Chen Yu with a smile for a while longer. After she was satisfied, she returned to the study table and swiftly started coding.
In the calm and quiet night, only the lines of characters before her could prevent her from growing cold.
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap, tap
Time inside the room gradually passed under the tapping sounds of the keyboard.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Chen Yu suddenly pulled aside his blanket and opened his eyes, his gaze focused on the ceiling above him.
Mr. Chen, did I wake you? How about I go to the warehouse?
No, thats not it. I just cant sleep. Resting his head on his arm, Chen Yu said, When your brain is telling you to sleep, and you refuse it, itll keep you awake when you want to sleep out of spite.
How does it feel to sleep? Little Peach asked in confusion.
It feels like Im trying to die but cant, I guess. Sitting up and removing his coat, Chen Yu yawned and laid back down, saying, Hypnotize me with the rattle and send me into a deep sleep.
Okay! Walking up to the bed, Little Peach picked up the Hypnosis Rattle from the bedside table and said, The laptop Im using is too slow and inefficient. If theres an opportunity in the future, please buy one with better functionality using your watch.
That will have to wait until I have enough points. I barely have anything right now
Why dont you host additional livestreams to earn extra points, then? Little Peach asked.
Gradually widening his eyes, Chen Yu stared at Little Peach in a daze. After a brief moment, he turned to look at the Spiral Ascending Aircraft sitting in a corner of his room
Chapter 92 - Kindest Elder Brother
Chapter 92 C Kindest Elder Brother
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu stared at Little Peach in a daze momentarily. Immediately afterward, he turned to look at the Spiral Ascending Aircraft sitting in a corner of his room.
Yeah, why didnt I host additional livestreams for points?
Little Peach: Yeah.
Chen Yu: Yeah.
Yeah! x2
Jumping out of bed, Chen Yu walked up to the Spiral Ascending aircraft and picked it up. He then carefully packed it back into its white box and resealed the box.
Lets review this thing. The marketing staff previously already said that aside from the monthly official livestreams, I can also purchase additional products to conduct reviews. I cant believe I failed to realize that additional livestreams can also earn additional points! What a mistake!
Are you going to livestream now?
Its early in the morning right now. There wont be many people watching it. Well host the livestream tomorrow night, Chen Yu said. He then set the box aside and visited the Transdimensional Store page through his watch.
Currently, it was already past midnight, so the store shouldve been updated already.
Previously, as he had only one point remaining, he did not dare visit the store page. Now, however, not only did he visited the store page, but he was even prepared to make a shopping plan.
Unfortunately
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]
[Sorry, but your current points are only sufficient to pay the minimum tax. They are not enough to purchase any products. The store will temporarily stop refreshing.]
Chen Yu:
Damnit! Are you looking down on the poor?!
Exiting the store page, Chen Yu angrily laid back onto his bed. Grumbling, he demanded, Hypnotize me. Im going to sleep.
Yes, sir! Hurriedly raising the Hypnosis Rattle, Little Peach asked, What scene do you want?
The imperial palace. I want to have a sumptuous feast displayed before me and have concubines entwined around me.
Little Peach:
Hurry up.
After a moment of silence, Little Peach expressionlessly raised the rattle and shook it three times.
Ding, ring.
Ding, ring.
Ding, ring.
After the ringing ended, Chen Yu fell into a semi-conscious state.
You, are in a magnificent palace. Many eunuchs serve you
Chen Yus eyeballs rapidly moved, and he vaguely mumbled, The palace The eunuchs Where Where are the concubines
At your command, the concubines have arrived, Little Peach said while giving the rattle another shake. She then started talking nonsense, They are walking in a neat line. Every one of them possesses handsome and muscular features.
Co-Concubines arentarent men
The concubines are men. It is because you are the empress! Little Peach said, shaking the rattle.
N-No Chen Yus body started trembling intensely, his eyelids struggling to open.
Fine, then. Well change the scene. You are the emperor! Under your command, the female concubines have come! Theyre lined up in a neat line as they walk up to your side. Every one of them looks like a wolf with a fat belly.
N-No Something isntright Chen Yus body started trembling once more.
Nothings wrong. You are going to sleep now. Sleep well. Fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you will forget all of this ever happened.
N-No
Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Sleep
Go to sleep!
Little Peach frantically shook the rattle, forcing Chen Yu into a deep sleep and preventing him from putting up any more resistance
Buzz Buzz
The next morning, Chen Yu awoke to the buzzing of his phone.
As he dazedly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returned to him.
Good morning, Mr. Chen, Little Peach said, beaming a smile at Chen Yu while her fingers tapped away at the keyboard.
I think I had a nightmare Clutching his head, Chen Yu said, But I cant seem to remember anything about it.
You must be too tired. Why dont you rest at home today and Ill go to school in your place?
No need.
Giving his face a rub, Chen Yu got out of bed and changed into a fresh set of clothes. He then went to the bathroom to wash up before sitting on the living rooms sofa and falling into a daze.
Just what kind of nightmare did I have? Why do I have no memory of it at all?
Perplexed, Chen Yu subconsciously picked up Chen Sankes gold-plated feeding bottle, unscrewed its lid, and took a sip of the goat milk contained inside.
Hm?
Smacking his lips, Chen Yu found the goat milks taste to be slightly strange. Lowering his head, he immediately noticed small bits of red floating on the milks surface.
This is.. chili?
Chen Yu was stunned.
How ruthless! To prevent others from stealing your milk, you actually put chili into it?! Doesnt that mean you cant drink it yourself either?
However, after getting over his initial shock, Chen Yu shook the bottle around slightly before emptying the whole bottle into his belly.
The small chunks of chili inside the milk might be too much for a child to handle, but for Chen Yu, who had grown up eating spicy bars, the heat they provided was utterly negligible.
Gulp.
After swallowing the last mouthful of milk, Chen Yu chewed on the chili bits. He then recapped the bottle and put it back in place.
Shes still a kid, ahahahaha.
After laughing out loud in satisfaction, Chen Yu suddenly got an idea. Overturning the feeding bottle, he squeezed out a few drops of reddish goats milk that remained in the feeding bottle and wiped them onto the corners of the slumbering Chen Erkes lips and face. He then got up and left, hiding his merit and fame
Half an hour later, Mother Chen got out of bed to prepare breakfast.
Chen Sanke, who obviously had her mind occupied with thoughts, ignored her sleepiness and got out of bed together with her mother. With awkward steps, she stumbled into the living room and picked up her feeding bottle.
Its gone again
Chen Sankes lips started trembling. Although she wanted to cry, she desperately held herself back. When she saw the traces of reddish milk on Chen Erkes face, however
Wah!
Chen Sanke immediately burst into tears. Raising her feeding bottle, she threw it at Chen Erkes head and shouted, Its you!
Clang!
A crisp sound echoed throughout the living room, and Chen Erke immediately awoke from her slumber. However, before she could react to the situation, Chen Sanke had already dragged her down from the sofa.
Its you! Its you! You stole my milk! I knew I didnt eat my snacks! Wah~~
What?
You stole my milk! Ill beat you!
Ah, it hurts! Are you mental?!
Thief! Ill beat you to death!
Mom! Third Eldest is hitting me!
Mommy! Big Sis is a thief!
Youre the thief!
You are! You are! You are!
Unable to come to an agreement, the two children promptly started fighting each other.
On the one hand, Chen Sanke possessed immense strength despite her young age. On the other hand, Chen Erke was taller and ran faster. For a time, the fight between the two remained even.
Meanwhile, when Chen Yu, who was lying on his bed, heard the commotion coming from the living room, he excitedly rubbed his hands together.
Only after Father Chen, Mother Chen, and Chen Yike had all came out to stop the fight, did Chen Yu leisurely walk into the living room, and blankly asked, What happened?
No idea. Rubbing her heavy eyelids, Chen Yike said, Im still not fully awake yet.
Meanwhile, Mother Chen was hugging Chen Sanke, and Father Chen hugged Chen Erke while loudly berating their daughters, Why are you two fighting?
She stole my milk! Chen Sanke said as she pointed at Chen Erke while aggrievedly wiping her tears.
I did not! Chen Erke said as she brandished her fists while similarly shedding tears. She hit me for no reason!
Putting on a stern look, Chen Yu slapped the coffee table and said, Speak. Which one of you started the fight?
She did! Chen Erke shouted while crying.
Okay. Third Eldest, come over here. Pulling Chen Sanke to a corner, Chen Yu whispered into her ear, Third Eldest, I support you! Youve suffered. However, no need to bicker with Second Eldest. Didnt she just drink your milk? Big Brother will buy more for you.
Big Brother Wailing loudly, Chen Sanke tightly hugged Chen Yus thigh.
Dont cry. Big Brother will pamper you.
Mhm! Big Brother is the best.
Good girl.
After comforting Chen Sanke, Chen Yu pulled Chen Erke to another corner and whispered, Your little sister is relying on her young age to have her way at home. I dont believe for a second that you will steal her stuff. I understand you the most. Youve suffered.
Big Brother Wailing loudly, Chen Erke tightly hugged Chen Yus thigh.
Dont cry. Where does it hurt? Big Brother will give it a kiss.
Brother, you really are kind.
Hey, youre my favorite little sister. Of course, Ill be kind to you. Rubbing Chen Erkes head, Chen Yu snuck a glance at Chen Yike before continuing, If Im not wrong, I think that your elder sister framed you! Shes the greediest out of us all.
Mhm! Chen Erke nodded in agreement, her eyes flaring with rage.
Chapter 93 - Flying Livestream (1)
Chapter 93 C Flying Livestream (1)
In a bustling district, inside the study room of Principal Pangs room
Principal Pang currently sat in a chair, with two young men seated opposite him.
Held in Principal Pangs hands was a black-leathered certificate with five words printed on the cover, the words stinging his eyes.
Principal Pang, have you finished reading the certificate?
Y-Yes, Principal Pang answered as he returned the certificate with trembling hands.
Our superior shouldve already notified you of our identities yesterday.
Y-Yes, he did. I do not doubt your identities.
Thats good, then, one of the young men said, nodding. He then took out a document from the satchel he carried and passed the document to Principal Pang, saying, Principal Pang, this is a confidentiality agreement. Please sign it.
After accepting the agreement and carefully reading through it, an ugly expression appeared on Principal Pangs face. He then asked, May I ask what this matter is about?
No. Please sign it, the same youth said politely. However, despite his polite tone, it was apparent his words left no room for doubt.
After silently deliberating, Principal Pang picked up the pen from the coffee table before him and signed his name on the confidentiality agreement.
Thank you for your cooperation, the young man said as he took the document, folded it, and placed it bag into his satchel. He then took out a small cylindrical device from the satchel, got up from his seat, and walked around the study.
Seeing this, Principal Pang started fidgeting in his seat. He felt as if invisible waves of pressure were repeatedly assaulting him.
Everything seems fine. Principal Pang, please turn off your mobile phone and leave it to us for temporary storage.
Okay.
While Principal pang was shutting down his phone, the young man holding the cylindrical device stored the device back to his satchel. He then walked up to the studys door and made three knocks on it.
Knock, knock, knock.
Knock, knock, knock, knock.
After the young mans colleague behind the door replied with four knocks, a series of strange noises came through the door. The noise resulted from the young mans colleague sealing off every gap between the door and the door frame using a special tape.
Just what is going on here?
Sweat started pouring out of Principal Pangs forehead when he realized what was happening.
Meanwhile, the young man that remained seated looked at Principal Pang and said, Youve already read the confidentiality clauses. If you reveal any content of our conversation today
I understand. Please speak.
Good. You must know of a student named Chen Yu, right? Year 2, Class 2s Chen Yu.
Chen Yu?! Principal Pangs eyes widened
During the schools afternoon recess, Chen Yu played truant once more.
When he arrived back home, he was relieved to see that none of his family members were home.
Pushing open the door to his bedroom, he was greeted by the sight of Little Peach typing away at the computer, not a trace of fatigue present on her face.
Mr. Chen, youre back.
Mhm. Now that no ones home, Im using this chance to have my bedroom repaired, Chen Yu explained as he tossed his school bag aside. He then pointed at the white box sitting in the corner of the room, saying, Stop coding for now. Help me move all the sensitive things in the room to the warehouse; the propeller, mask, haori, cheongsam, and whatnot.
Okay.
Little Peach promptly jumped out of her chair and got to work.
Seeing this, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and dialed the number of the renovation specialist.
Hello? Im the one who placed the order on Alibaba. Where are you at, chief? Ill go downstairs to pick you up afterward. Okay, okay
Hanging up the call, Chen Yu also started helping Little Peach with the move. He simply could not help but worry about letting Little Peach handle such an important task. After all, this artificial intelligence was even worse than he was.
In less than 10 minutes, all items that shouldnt be seen by others had disappeared. These items included even the books Chen Yu had used to conduct his review in the past. Not one clue connecting him with Transdimensional Reviews uploader remained.
Everything should be fine now. After giving his room one last look, Chen Yu walked into the living room and instructed Little Peach, Go invisible now. Dont reveal yourself without my order.
Understood!
After seeing Chen Yu out of the house, Little Peach removed her one-piece dress and activated her invisibility. She then stood at a side and quietly waited.
Very quickly, the security door to the house opened once more as Chen Yu led three renovation workers into the house.
No need to remove your shoes and just come in, Chen Yu said. However, as soon as he turned around, he could not help but gnash his teeth when he noticed the crumpled dress sitting before his bedroom door.
That idiot.
Striding forward quickly, Chen Yu picked up the dress, balled it up, and threw it into the nearby bathroom. He then turned around and fawningly smiled, saying, Its here. Everyone, come in.
Sure, sure.
The wisened middle-aged man walking in the renovation workers lead nodded before entering Che Yus bedroom. He then squinted his eyes as he scanned the bedroom.
Its this ceiling board and the holes above it. Can you fix it? Chen Yu asked as he pointed at the damaged ceiling.
We can, but well need two whole days to make a full renovation.
No need to fully renovate them. I just need you to fix the damaged part.
How about we forgo the concrete and just fix the ceiling board?
Yes, that works! Theres also the floor tiles. Can you replace the broken ones for me?
Sure, we can get them done quickly.
After knowing what he needed to do, the renovation specialist took a few photos of the ceiling and floor with his phone before tasking one of his apprentices with purchasing the necessary construction materials. Afterward, the specialist and his remaining apprentice started working on removing the damaged ceiling board.
In the end, the renovation crew had worked from 12 P.M. to 3 P.M. to complete the repairs Chen Yu wanted.
Although the colors of the purchased tiles and ceiling board were slightly different from the original, Chen Yu did not nitpick as he happily paid the renovation fee.
After sending off the three renovation workers, Chen Yu quickly hid away his smile and held up his wrist. Canceling his watchs invisibility, he started using it to control the invisible camera to stalk after the three renovation workers.
Only after the three workers had split up with each other did Chen Yu stop stalking them and recalled his camera. At the same time, he could not help but praise himself for his prudence.
At this time, Little Peach came out from her invisible state and looked at Chen Yus room, saying, Mr. Chen, if its only this level of repairs, even I can do it.
You cant do anything right! Upon hearing Little Peachs words, Chen Yu immediately flared up in rage. Going to the bathroom and picking up the dress he tossed away previously, he then tossed the dress at Little Peachs face as he bellowed, Why didnt you hide your dress away?!
I forgot.
Rubbing his swollen temples, Chen Yu sighed and said, Im going back to school. Well conduct the livestream once I come home tonight. Focus on coding for now. Only when you are making money, do I feel that you are still an A.I..
I wont do it again next time, Little Peach said as she lowered her head and removed the dress covering her face.
Oh, Im certain youll do it again, and itll be magnitudes worse. Ive seen through you already.
After saying so, Chen Yu pushed open the security door and left the house.
Uu Scratching her head, Little Peach walked back into Chen Yus room, butt-naked. She then sat down before the study table and started tapping away at the keyboard. While typing, she muttered, I cant help but feel that I forgot something again
Evening, 7.15 P.M.:
Chen Yu arrived back home from school.
Currently, Mother Chen was making dinner, Chen Erke was drawing, and Chen Sanke was tightly hugging her empty feeding bottle while running circles around the coffee table.
As for Chen Yike, her whereabouts were unknown.
Im home.
Big Brother, youre back! I love you ? Chen Erke ran over and hugged Chen Yus left leg.
Big Brother, youre back! Love you! (*??*) Chen Sanke also ran over, holding her bottle with her mouth, and hugged Chen Yus right leg.
The two were still eyeing each other with hostility and striving for favor from Chen Yu.
Good girls.
As Chen Yu ruffled his two little sisters heads, a delightful feeling spread in his heart.
This was the way of balance
Walking to his room, Chen Yus mind was filled with thoughts of tonights livestream as he unlocked the door to his room.
Mr. Chen, welcome home, Little Peach greeted as she jumped off her chair.
Mhm Hmm? Why arent you wearing any clothes?
At the same time, inside Chen Yikes bedroom
Chen Yike wore a sad expression on her face as she picked up the dress she found lying before her elder brothers bedroom.
Hah My perverted Big Brother
What should I do
Chapter 94 - Flying Livestream (2)
Chapter 94 C Flying Livestream (2)
At night, in the brightly lit Jinzhou City
Lanhe District, Chen familys house, second bedroom:
After donning his haori, Chen Yu messaged the marketing staff to make a final confirmation.
[Chen Yu: I want to conduct an additional livestream. Are there any rules I should keep an eye for?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: If you wish to conduct an additional livestream, there are two points to pay attention to.]
[Chen Yu: Go on.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: First, the priority of additional reviews is lower than official reviews, so you shouldnt promote the additional products too strongly. You must especially avoid mentioning the products manufacturer and year of production.]
[Chen Yu: Why is that?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: If your additional reviews perform similarly to your official reviews, we will have a difficult time setting a price for our businesses.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Second, during the additional review, if the additional product youre reviewing coincides in functionality with an official product that was previously reviewed, you must be more stringent in your evaluation of the additional product.]
[Chen Yu: I dont quite get it.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: For example, if you wish to evaluate a portal from another company, no matter how good the portal is, you must find some faults so that the audience doesnt feel it is as good as the Interstellar Portal you officially reviewed.]
[Chen Yu: Slander?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. We want to guarantee the interests of our main customers.]
[Chen Yu: Isnt this false advertisement? As reviewers, we should maintain our stance as an independent third party!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Weve received the customers money and product. How can we be considered an independent third party?]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: If you are being supported, dont claim yourself to be a third party. As a commercial advertising company, we will always serve the customer that has a higher priority.]
[Chen Yu: Straightforward.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Business cannot be mixed with useless feelings.]
[Chen Yu: Fine, then. Ive expanded my knowledge.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Third, for additionally reviewed products, the livestreams cannot be edited into videos and uploaded under the Transdimensional Reviews name.]
[Chen Yu: Summarized videos are only meant for official products?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That is correct.]
[Chen Yu: By the day, didnt you say that there were two points only? Thats three points already.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Fourth, points obtained during additional reviews will be reduced by 66.666%. In other words, you will only gain 33.333% of the standard income rate.]
[Chen Yu: Isnt this a little too much?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You dont understand. The points issued to our partners are a combination of both our companys and the advertising companys interests. The more viewers you get during your official livestreams, the more remuneration the customers will pay our company, and the more points our company can grant you. In the case of additional livestreams, our company wont be receiving a significant sum of advertisement fees. Hence, we have no choice but to reduce the points we grant.]
[Chen Yu: It actually sounds reasonable?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: This is how commercial advertisement works. Even in your current year of 2020, the advertising industry has already gradually shifted toward focusing on precision and actual profitability. The platform of advertising is no longer important. Whats important is how many customers are willing to spend on the advertisement. Dont release the sphere without seeing the star.]
[Chen Yu: Dont release the sphere without seeing the star. What does that mean?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Unless you see that a star is stable, dont release the Dyson Sphere.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, do you have any other questions?]
[Chen Yu: No, goodbye.]
Exiting WeChat and turning off his phone, Chen Yu turned to look at Little Peach and asked, Ready?
Everythings ready, Little Peach answered, nodding while sorting out her cheongsams split. She then picked up the large white box on the ground and continued, Mr. Chen, lets go.
Reaching out and grabbing the doorknob, Chen Yu pushed open the door. Suddenly, sunlight shined through the opened door.
Where are we connected to?
The other side of the world, Sacramento.
Beckoning with his hand, Chen Yu led Little Peach through the portal and arrived on a foreign countrys land.
The area the two arrived at was a flat-bottomed land that experienced a typical Mediterranean climate. The westerly wind was mighty, causing the clothes the both of them wore to flutter.
Turning around, Chen Yu first disconnected the portals spatial link with his room. He then changed the portals shape into a metal arch. Lastly, he put on his opera mask and took a look at the time. Its currently 8:58 in the evening. Two more minutes. Little Peach, can you stop hogging the spotlight? How about you do the review instead?
After you, after you. Little Peach hurriedly retreated to Chen Yus back while carrying the white box.
Similar to the previous livestream, call me King. No need to pretend to slip your tongue anymore. Also, unless I interact with you, dont speak.
Mhm, I wont speak.
Why are you still speaking?
Seeing that Little Peach had shut her mouth, Chen Yu set up the cameras position and quietly looked at his watch. As soon as the numbers displayed jumped from 20:59 to 21:00, he immediately started the livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili site activation complete.]
[DouYu site activation complete.]
[Youtube site activation complete.]
[Total viewer count: 0]
After the five lines of text passed by, the viewer count started rapidly rising.
2,243.
5,605
Since this wasnt a scheduled livestream, there werent a particularly large number of viewers waiting for it ahead of time. Even after 10 seconds had passed, the total viewer count of the three livestream rooms just barely exceeded 10,000.
[UP, whats up with you all of a sudden!?]
[Im shocked!]
[First.]
[Fifth.]
[First]
[Damnit! Reported!]
[Youre actually livestreaming now? This is unscientific.]
[Oh! The cheongsam sister appeared again! (*^^*)]
[I love you.]
[Can the female assistant move forward a little? Give this brother here some material.]
[Instantly understood!]
[Instantly understood+1]
[Are you going to review space-based weapons today?]
[Huaqiangbei has entered the livestream room.][1]
[The previous livestream was simply exciting! Support!]
[My son still cant write.]
Although the viewer count was lower, the activity in the bullet comment section was similarly high.
Unlike other livestreamers that employed fake viewers to bolster their viewer count, Chen Yus viewer count was genuine.
Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Review. Thank you for your continued support. As everyone can see through the skys color, I am currently situated on the opposite side of Asia.
Adjusting his mask and steadying his rhythm, Chen Yu continued, Todays livestream is an additional review. Its not considered official livestream content. Hence, whether it is the reviewing process or the reviewed products technological value, neither can compare to an official livestream. Well then, enough with the nonsense. Lets begin the review.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned around slightly and hooked his finger at Little Peach.
In response, Little Peach stepped forward and presented the white box she carried with both hands.
Receiving the box, Chen Yu returned his gaze toward the camera and said, Todays livestream product is inside this box. Truthfully, Ive already owned this product for some time. Ive also conducted a simple test with it, so lets unbox it straight away.
Immediately, Chen Yu tore open the seal and opened the box
Chapter 95 - Flying Livestream (3)
Chapter 95 C Flying Livestream (3)
Chen Yu opened the box and took out the propeller inside. Raising it toward the camera, he said, As this is an additional review, I will not be introducing this products manufacturer and production year.
Looking at its appearance, Im sure everyone can guess its use. Yes, it is for flying, and its name is the Spiral Ascending Aircraft.
[Just through the name, I can tell it was made by a loon already.]
[A personal aircraft? Something like that already available?]
[Crap? Youre actually livestreaming now?]
[The news said that the typhoon at Seoul really stopped! UP, youre awesome!]
[Experts have said that the typhoon was going to stop before it hit land. The host clearly took advantage of this fact to strengthen his livestreams performance.]
[Dumbass! Youd rather believe what those charlatans say than believe the facts you saw with your own eyes?]
[I beg you to grow some brains. Do you think the host is so amazing as to invent a technology that none of the worlds many research institutes are incapable of creating? If the host is so amazing, why is he still working as a livestreamer? Why not ascend to heaven?]
[Isnt he going to be ascending to heaven now]
[You can never wake a person thats pretending to sleep.]
[Whether you believe the UP or not, I believe him. I dare say that the various governments wont be able to hide this matter for much longer. The UP is going to become a global sensation sooner or later. And when that time comes, you fools are going to eat your words.]
Amidst the tide of bullet comments, Chen Yu tossed aside the box and started making a detailed introduction, The way to use this product is to install it on the head. When installed, the aircraft will lift into the air. The aircraft is capable of taking off and landing at will. The maximum take-off weight is 592kg; the maximum flight speed is 260km/h; the climb rate is 11.5m/s; the maximum cruising time is 4 hours and 25 minutes.
In the energy department, the aircraft mainly consumes solar energy. It takes one hour to fill the aircrafts energy storage to 50% capacity in a sunny environment. The aircraft also possesses a built-in suspension buffer that can offset the users discomfort. Even under high-speed rotation, users will not feel any intense discomfort. Of course, even with the suspension buffers presence, users cant avoid feeling any discomfort whatsoever. Dont ask me how I know that.
After saying so, Chen Yu wore the propeller on his head, and with Little Peachs help, he quickly affixed the three clamps onto his body.
Next, I will show everyone how to operate this product. Firstly, if you wish to get it to fly, you will need to think of the word take-off.
Hum!
As soon as Chen Yu was done speaking, the propeller immediately started spinning wildly and lifting Chen Yu into the air
[Crap?]
[Crap?]
[Crap? Even the person is spinning along?]
[???]
[?????]
[I suddenly started laughing.]
[I feel inexplicably distressed.]
[The hosts mouth is wide open. Is he begging for help?]
[This is too funny!]
[Look how he is happily smiling]
[Someone come and save this child quickly.]
[Cant catch me! La la la la la!]
[Randomly tossing out a lucky bundle of brains.]
As Chen Yu flew increasingly higher, the invisible camera also raised its altitude and followed closely after the spinning figure beneath the propeller.
I~ have~ risen~ into~ the~ air~ It~ feels~ quite~ nice~
Although~ Im~ spinning~ very~ quickly, I~ dont~ feel~ much~ discomfort~ The~ only~ problem~ is~ the~ wind~ Hiccup. I~ finally~ know~ why~ this~ product~ doesnt~ rely~ on~ voice~ control.
My King! Dont spread your legs! Little Peach suddenly shouted while waving her hands at Chen Yu. Youll damage your joints! Quickly put your legs together!
Hearing Little Peachs cry from below, Chen Yu also felt that his legs started hurting due to the centrifugal force. Quickly, he merged his legs together. In doing so, however, he made him look even more like a spinning top
As everyone~ can see, my rotation~speed is~much slower~compared to~the propeller itself. Hence, I wonder~if it is~possible to~make it~so that~the user~wont rotate~at all? Hopefully~this problem~will be~improved on~in the future.
Now~ I will try~ to control~ the flight~ direction. So long as~ I say~ north, south~ east, west~ in my mind~ I can~ freely change~ the flight~ directionUh~ I suddenly~ discovered~ another problem.
Just which direction is which?!
[Im dying from laughter.]
[HAHAHAHAHA!]
[Overall, this is still an excellent tool to dispose of corpses.]
[I have a bold idea!]
[If you start flying while taking a piss, the sight will definitely be breathtaking]
[Dont say it. My brains going to start picturing it.]
After hovering in the air for some time, Chen Yu gradually grasped the trick to operate the aircraft. He then started tentatively flying back and forth, left and right.
After some tests, he realized that he did not need to know which directions were north, south, east, and west. He simply needed to think of flying north, and the aircraft would automatically move northward under the induction of its built-in magnetic field. He can also arbitrarily adjust his flight speed.
Everyone~ as you can see, Ive~ already familiarized~ myself with~ the controls~ to a certain~ extent. The controls~ are much simpler~ than I imagined~ them to be. It is definitely~ much easier~ than controlling~ the aircraft~ manually. The experience~ is also~ excellent.
[I suddenly feel envious.]
[I want to play too.]
[You guys can have the product. I just want the female assistant.]
[Am I the only person to notice that the cameraman is the real MVP?]
[Damnit! You actually secretly started a livestream?! I nearly missed it!]
[Host, youre livestreaming on Bilibil and DouYu simultaneously? Is that legal?]
[Bilibilis livestream room has over 80,000 viewers already.]
Under the gaze of over 100,000 people, Chen Yu spun in the air for more than half an hour before his two feet finally made contact with the ground again.
My King! You were amazing! Little Peach lauded as she hurriedly ran forward to help Chen Yu.
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu removed the propeller and turned around. Blergh
Blergh!
Blergh Cough, cough, cough
After dry heaving for a while, Chen Yu straightened himself, rubbed his eyes, and said, I have already displayed
King, the camera is over there.
Oh. Turning around, Chen Yu continued, I have
Its here! Little Peach said as she grabbed Chen Yus head and twisted it.
Crack.
Chen Yu: What was that sound?
Little Peach: I dont know.
Fine.
Looking ahead, Chen Yu concluded, I have already displayed the detailed review and user experience of this aircraft toBlergheveryone. In summary, its performance is outstanding. It is in no way inferior to present military helicopters. In fact, the Spiral Ascending Aircraft is more convenient, compact, and maneuverable.
If in the future, every one of us can fly in the sky and no longer be restricted by gravity, then it will truly be a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie.
[I cant stand to look at this anymore.]
[Sci-fi ()! Lunatic ()!]
[The scene is too beautiful that I dare not imagine it.]
[UP, youre actually livestreaming? Hahaha! I came just in time!]
[Ditto. What are you reviewing today?]
As his brains dizziness gradually disappeared, Chen Yu lightly tapped his head and adjusted his mask before amplifying his voice, Science, is fascinating. Through this little product review, we can see humans of the future still possess a curious heart towards nature, science, and knowledge. In reality, the real gem of this product lies in its buffer system. Despite having my body rotate at such high speeds, barely any harm came to my body. Through experiencing this product, I can say that it is genuinely great to be alive. By being alive, you get to see all kinds of things.
Well, then. Thats it for tonights review. There might be another one or two small reviews before the next review, so look forward to it. Of course, its just a possibility.
Goodbye.
[I havent seen enough!]
[Can you fly into a city once? I want to see the publics reaction.]
[Ditto.]
[Short!]
[Short! +1]
[Short, as always.]
[Can this aircraft be used for cats?]
[Hahaha! Victory for staying up late! UP, youre actually livestreaming?!]
[I came.]
[Has it started?]
[It ended already]
Chapter 96 - Instakill
Chapter 96 C Instakill
After arriving back into his room through the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu did not even bother changing his clothes. He fell flat onto his bed.
Im dead tired
Meanwhile, Little Peach walked through the portal while carrying the box containing the Spiral Ascending Aircraft. After closing the door behind her and disconnecting the spatial link, she asked, Mr. Chen, do you need me to give you a massage?
No. Lets not trouble the doctor this late into the night.
After lying down for a while, Chen Yu sat up and massaged his neck, saying, My neck feels a little stiff.
Maybe its because you spun too many times, Little Peach said as she blinked her eyes.
Maybe.
After giving a perfunctory reply, Chen Yu raised his wrist and tapped on his watchs screen to inspect his revenue for todays livestream.
Unfortunately, he had only earned five points today. Including his leftover one point, he now had a total of six points only.
He had gained a total of 150,000 viewers across the three platforms today. While it wasnt a small number, it wasnt large either. In the end, he attributed his underwhelming performance to the fact that a large majority of his subscribers were unaware that he would be livestreaming today.
Only six points, Chen Yu muttered, frowning. What a loss.
He had spent over 20 points to purchase the Spiral Ascending Aircraft. Yet, he had only gained five points after using it to conduct an additional review.
If he excluded the fact that he had bought the aircraft for personal use and thought purely from a business perspective, he had undoubtedly suffered a loss.
If he wished to avoid losing transactions, he would have to either raise his popularity or purchase cheaper products to review.
The former required gradual progress and cannot be rushed. As for the latter, although it would be possible for him to earn points, the amount earned would not be much. Moreover, if he frequently reviewed cheap products with little technological value, it would undoubtedly cause aesthetic fatigue, lower his value, and reduce his sense of mystery. It might even affect the popularity and revenue of his official livestreams.
Mr. Chen, how many points did you get?
Five. Including the one point from before, I have six in total now.
How little. Unbuttoning her cheongsam, Little Peach said, Why dont you review me?
Chen Yu:
Review my abilities. Her arms akimbo, Little Peach said, Im a technological product as well.
Its illegal to evaluate dolls. You should just focus on coding.
Alright, then.
Little Peach regretfully sat before the study table before rapidly typing away at the laptop.
Thud.
Lying back onto his bed, Chen Yu continued swiping across his watch and entered the Transdimensional Stores page.
Sure enough, now that his points had increased, the store was immediately updated.

[The listed products can be refreshed for 10 points. Multiple refreshes within 24 hours will cause the refresh price to increase by tenfold.]
Huh? Huh? Huh?
What the heck are these things?!
After reading through the description of the five high-tech products, Chen Yus mental state collapsed.
Setting the first to fourth products aside, what was up with the fifth product? A thermal grenade was actually being treated as a toy?!
Moreover, he also noticed that the thermal grenade was produced during the same period as the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory
What happened to the children of the 22nd century?!
Did the global population skyrocket?
After a long time had passed, Chen Yu gradually calmed down. Sitting up from his bed, he looked at the five products displayed on his watchs screen and fell into deep thought.
Should he wait until midnight for the store to refresh, or should he pick one of the currently available products?
If he were to choose one, he felt that the second product, the Yawning Denture, was still of use.
If he were to wait for the store to refresh, what if the next batch of items was even worse than the current batch?
He currently only had six points. Even if the store got refreshed, the products made available to him would only be worth six points or below.
Moreover, he deemed that a group paralysis tool like the Yawning Denture should come in handy someday.
Hmm Lets choose this one, then.
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu stopped hesitating and tapped on the screen, completing his purchase of the Yawning Denture.
[5 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 1]
As these words appeared on Chen Yus watch, a small wormhole appeared in the middle of his room. A white box then fell out of the wormhole.
How small.
After the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu stepped forward and picked up the smallest delivery package he had received thus far. He then vigorously shook the box beside his ear.
However, he did not hear any sounds coming from the box.
Tear!
After tearing off the seal and opening the lid, Chen Yu discovered that the inside was filled with packing foam.
He removed some of the foam and found three items sandwiched between the foam: an instruction manual, a small tooth, and a small hammer.
Chen Yu first picked up the instruction manual and read it in detail, a frown forming on his face as he finished his reading.
I actually need to knock out one of my teeth to install this thing?
Placing down the instruction manual and picking up the small hammer, Chen Yu walked up to the mirror. After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth, bared his teeth, and tapped his left canine with the hammer.
Ding!
After being struck, Chen Yus left canine shook violently before shaking free from his gums. Immediately, blood surged out of the new cavity.
Crap.
Hurriedly picking up the Yawning Denture, Chen Yu pushed it into the cavity.
A special liquid flowed out of the false tooth immediately, the liquid stopping the bleeding and adhering the tooth to the gums. No matter how Chen Yu pulled at the tooth, it would not budge.
Amazing
Carefully inspecting his new tooth and looking at the small hammer in his hand, Chen Yu fell into deep thought for a moment. After washing himself up in the bathroom, he stood before the Interstellar Portal and established a spatial link.
Mr. Chen, where are you going?
Im going to test out this new product. Also, hold onto this small hammer for me. Its an absolute weapon!
Okay! Do you need me to accompany you?
No need.
After saying so, Chen Yu put on his mask.
Half a minute later, Chen Yu appeared inside a nightclub in Shanghai.
Through the VIP rooms glass wall, he spotted numerous men and women venting their youth, desire, and money to a passionate and rhythmic melody on the dance floor.
Go on, keep on dancing
Walking out of the second-floor VIP room, Chen Yu trotted to the center of the flashing dance floor. He then eagerly widened his mouth and yawned
Ah

Chapter 97 C When Dealing with an Enemy, One Must Be as Cold as the Icy Winter
Shanghai, a rich, prosperous, and self-respecting city.
Shanghai, a fallen, demoralized, and empty city.
Shanghai, a city that cannot be worse off than other cities.
In this city, every corner seemed to be filled with indulgence and depravity. This was especially true for the nightclubs.
Chen Yu always believed that the greater the ability a person possessed, the greater their responsibility.
As an UP that allowed mankind to peek at future technologies, he had an obligation to promote positive energy and eradicate Shanghais unhealthy trend.
Hence, he came.
While standing in the middle of the dance floor, he scanned the people around him, opened his mouth, and yawned.
Ah
Mm
In the next moment, the men and women that were frantically shaking their bodies around him instantly felt as if they had aged by 40 years, their movements slowing down considerably. All of a sudden, the people on the dance floor had gone from disco dancing to square dancing
Ha
Pushing forward, Chen Yu made an even bigger yawn, his actions irritating his eyes and causing tears to flow out.
Ah
Ha Mm
Ah
Suddenly, others also started yawning on the dance floor.
Ha
Stretching his waist, Chen Yu yawned for the third time amidst the nightclubs flashing lights
Thud.
Thud, thud!
Thud, thud, thud
Like cut wheat, the hundreds of people on the dance floor limply collapsed to the ground.
It was an annihilation.
Its so late already, yet why are you still high? If you dont go to bed soon, wont you make your parents worry? Chen Yu muttered as he reached into his mask and wiped away the tears leaked out of his eyes.
After he was done testing the Yawning Denture, he approached the mixer and lowered the sound tracks volume to 0 decibels. Afterward, he took out the small white box and packing foam, tossing them onto the dance floor before turning around and leaving.
Goodnight, my little kids.
The next day, Tuesday:
Chen Yu obediently sat on his seat as he waited for the announcement of the monthly test scores.
He had been relatively busy recently and did not focus much on his studies, so he was sure he wouldnt score first place in his grade. After all, no matter how terrible of a school Sixth High was, there were always exceptions. There would still be a few students that would stand out from the rest every year.
With that being the case, according to Principal Pangs mandatory gambling agreement, once the monthly test scores were released, he would have to start doing sports.
However, who was Chen Yu?
How could he possibly be crushed by some random minnow? Even if that minnow in question was slightly fat.
Hence, in Chen Yus mind, he had already thought of over a dozen dark, obscene, forceful, evil, despicable, and indecent plans
I have the monthly test scores here. I will now announce the class rankings.
Shortly after the bell rang, Class 2s form teacher entered the classroom while holding a score sheet in his hands. Glancing at the students before him, the form teacher said, Disappointment! What a disappointment! You bunch are the worst batch of students I have ever taught!
Afraid that some idiots would hand in a blank paper, we deliberately set the first question on the mathematics paper to be 1+1, yet 12 students in our class answered 13,627! You can bloody go on the news for this! Which fool taught you this answer?!
Our math teacher, a male student said with his hand raised.
Thats right. Our math teacher.
He taught us that.
Chen Yu similarly raised his hand and added, I can testify. I was present at the scene.
The form teacher:
His face distorting, the form teacher raised the score sheet to cover his face. Gnashing his teeth, he said, First place, Chen Yu, 411 marks.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Every student in the class focused their eyes on Chen Yu.
Cough, cough. Clearing his throat, Chen Yu clasped his hands together and said, Calm down.
After sending Chen Yu a glance, the form teacher continued, Second place, Xing Biqi, 405 marks. Our new classmate has excellent grades. Everyone, a round of applause.
Clap, clap, clap!
Clap, clap, clap
Third place, Zhen Congming, 334 marks.
Wonderful, Zhen Congming exclaimed as he suddenly stood up from his seat. With a look of relief, he continued, There is progress. God truly does reward hard work.
Indeed. Sneering, the form teacher said, You scored 334 previously. You improved by one mark. Congratulations.
1
Teacher, you should know that after reaching the standard of top students like myself, we have to put in enormous effort for every additional mark we gain.
Just shut your mouth.
Forty minutes later, the bell signaling the end of the first period rang. Upon hearing the bell, the form teacher promptly packed up his things and left the classroom without so much as looking back even once.
Student Chen Yu.
At this time, Zhen Congming approached Chen Yu with large strides. I never thought that you would really surpass me in just one short month and fulfilled your dream.
Chen Yu:
Now, its my turn to chase after you.
Chen Yu:
This is the determination a genius should have. Please do not become arrogant and complacent. Continue striving, and dont let me overtake you.
Chen Yu:
Out of the five subjects, I recall English being your worst subject, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
Haha. Cooly swiping his bangs, Zhen Chongming revealed a smile and said, English just so happens to be my strongest subject. You should be careful next month.
Oh! How many marks did you score for English this time?
Forty-eight.
Scram.
In Sixth High, a total score of 411 was enough to get Chen Yu within the top 40 of his grade. Unfortunately, he was still nowhere near meeting the requirement Principal Pang had set for him.
However, to Chen Yus surprise, neither Principal Pang nor Niu Lanshan had come to force him to do sports throughout the entire morning. This rendered all the countermeasures he had thought up to become useless
It seems Ill just have to give up.
Caressing the peach fuzz that was gradually growing on his chin, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.
Afternoon, after the end of the fourth period
Just as Chen Yu was about to head to the principals office to scout out the situation, Xing Biqi, the female student seated in front of him, actually turned around to look at him. Smiling, she asked, Fellow student, your grades are excellent.
After being momentarily stunned, Chen Yu abruptly clenched his fist below his desk.
It came!
It came!!
It came!!!
This ill-intentioned female agent finally caved in and could not help but talk to him.
Keke, finally cant hold it in anymore? And here I thought a professional special agent possessed extraordinary endurance. It turns out that you only amount to this much.
1
After calming himself down, Chen Yu squinted and said, You scored pretty well as well.
No, I just managed to luckily perform better than normal, Xingbiqi said as she shyly scratched the back of her right ear and lightly pulled on her hair. She then picked up her own mathematics test paper, pointed at a question, and said softly, Im quite bad at math. I wish to ask if you know how to solve this trigonometric equation. I dont quite get it.
Was she trying to strike at him using study as the topic?
Since the other party had made the first move, she should be ready to get ravaged!
When dealing with an enemy, one must be as cold as the icy winter!
After having such thoughts, Chen Yu decisively stretched out his sleazy hand. Simultaneously, as he grabbed the extended test paper, he made sure to hold onto the girls small and tender hand. I know it. Ill teach you.
Uu
Xing Biqi was stunned by this situation. Subconsciously, she tried to retrieve her hand, only to fail in doing so.
Whats wrong?
P-Please let go
Oh! My bad. I didnt do it on purpose, Chen Yu said as he obediently let go of the test paper
Xing Biqi: Im talking about my hand!
Oh. Unfazed, Chen Yu switched from grabbing to touching
You What are you doing?
Are you still cold?
???
Chapter 98 - The Girl’s Awakening”
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 98 C The Girls Awakening
I Im not cold! Let go!
Xing Biqis cheeks flushed red as she struggled to break free from Chen Yus sleazy hand.
Frowning, Chen Yu questioned, Didnt you ask me to solve the problem? Why are you pulling and pushing me?
Forget it. Ill forget this ever happened. Focus on solving the problem and dont think about nonsense. Picking up Xing Biqis test paper once more, Chen Yu asked, Which question is it?
I-Its fine Timidly waving her hand, Xing Biqi said, I-Ill solve it myself
Bang!
Finding an opportunity to get angry, Chen Yu heavily slammed his palm onto the table, his actions causing the girl to pale in fright.
Whats the matter? Are you looking down on Class 2s Einstein? Loudly tapping his table with his hand, Chen Yu questioned, Do you think I cant solve the problem?
N-N-No! Xing Biqi answered in fright.
If not, then dont say useless things. Im considered one of Sixth Highs top 50 students. Ask away. Which question is it?
I I think Ill
Hmm? Chen Yu raised his hand once more.
This question! I-Its this question! Xing Biqi hurriedly pointed at a question on the paper.
Oh, a periodic function in trigonometry? Sending the question a glance, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Finding a periodic function in a trigonometric equation is very simple. There are a total of three methods to do so: definition, formula, and theorem.
I see! Amazing! I I know it now. Pretending to understand, Xing Biqi hurriedly turned around and tried to run away.
Where the heck are you going? Chen Yus eyes were quick to notice Xing Biqis intentions. With even swifter hands, he grabbed onto the back of Xing Biqis uniform. At the same time, his finger also accidentally hooked onto the bra strap hidden beneath the uniform
Xing Biqi froze as if lightning had just struck her.
Come back. Sixth Highs winter uniform was thick, so Chen Yu did not actually realize the deed he had done. After pulling Xing Biqi back to her seat, he continued, I only said there were three methods. I never went into detail. Where are you going?
I I Her breathing quickening, Xing Biqis mind fell into chaos. Im going to the toilet.
Rejected. Holding up the test paper, Chen Yu said, Go after my explanation.
Ca-Can you l-let go of my hand
Youll run away if I do.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, he noticed that Xing Biqi was on the verge of breaking into tears. Frowning, he loosened his grip and said, Fine, fine, fine. There, Ive let go. Listen properly. As the best student in class, I have the responsibility, obligation, and ability to help my classmates improve their grades. First, lets talk about the definition method
While saying so, Chen Yu leaned forward and pressed his face close to the girls nose. He then pointed at the math problem in question and started explaining, For the definition method, we normally let y=c. If there is a non-zero value for the function
Sensing the hot breath coming out of Chen Yus mouth, the girls breathing became increasingly hurried. In a panic, she pulled back her body by five centimeters, widening the gap between them.
However, immediately afterward, Chen Yu stretched out his neck without hesitation, closing the gap once more
The girl pulled away again.
Chen Yu closed in again.
Pulling away.
Closing in
A few rounds later, Chen Yu had practically gone from sitting on his own seat to leaning on Xing Biqis chair.
C-Chief, Im not learning anymore. Please go back, the girl said with teary eyes.
Why are you constantly avoiding me? Chen Yu asked in dissatisfaction, thoroughly displaying his bad side.
You dont need to teach me, r-really Let me learn it by myself Xing Biqi said as she bit down on her lip. With a trembling voice, she continued, T-Thank you. Ill go back now.
You think you can get me to come and go as you please? Arent you a little too arrogant? To ensure this ill-intentioned female agent stayed far away from him, Chen Yu decided to strike while the iron was hot. Stretching out a claw, he grabbed the girls fair and delicate face and gently squeezed it
Ah! Uu
Chen Yu did not actually put much strength into his grip. However, the frightened girl still burst into tears.
Previously, she had already heard that Sixth High was a terrible school. However, she never thought that it would be bad to a point where one of its students would bully a female student in broad daylight
Why did she have to provoke this devil?
Why are you crying? Youre making it look like Im bullying you. In a stern voice, Chen Yu said, Hold it back! Youre not allowed to cry!
Uu Xing Biqi hurriedly covered her mouth.
Mhm, good.
Seeing the shivering girl before him, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. Faced against such harsh treatment, any average person would try to stay as far away from him as possible. Even if Xing Biqi were a special agent, she would no longer have any good reason to approach him.
A honeytrap that had been seen through could no longer be considered a trap.
A special agent that had their disguise seen through could not be considered a special agent either.
Since the opponents wished to play such tricks with him, he would let them know what a fruitless attempt meant
Chen Yu! How can you bully our new classmate?
At this time, Zhen Congming, who was watching the scene play out from a side, could no longer continue watching. Angrily slamming his table, he glared at Chen Yu and said, Do you think you can do whatever you want now that youre good at studying?
Thats right! Chen Yu, youre going too far!
Let go of that girl! Let me Wait, no, I mean, come at me!
Seeing that someone had taken the lead to call out Chen Yu, the other male students that remained in class promptly stood up, intending to act out the scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress.
Hmm After pondering, Chen Yu bent over and pulled out his makeshift nail bat from under his table. Gripping the bat with both hands, he then bent the bat.
Crack!
Under the might of Chen Yu strengthened physique, the thick and robust table leg snapped.
Everyone:
Tossing away the broken table leg, Chen Yu looked at Xing Biqi and asked, Am I bullying you?
Xing Biqi: N-No Uu
Youre still crying?!
I-Im not crying!
Mhm. Patting away the wood chips remaining on his palms, Chen Yu scanned the people in the classroom, his gaze eventually focusing on Zhen Congming. See, she said no. Im just showing her the traditional culture of Sixth Highs students supporting each other. Whats the matter? Do you have questions you need help with as well?
Oh, I mightve truly misunderstood, then. Pushing up his glasses, Zhen Congming said, Fellow Student Xing Biqi, Student Chen Yu is helping you solve your problem. It would be best if you learned how to appreciate what is good for you. After all, there is still an existing gap in academic performance between you and Student Chen Yu. As a student, you must maintain a humble attitude.
Xing Biqi:
Thats right. Brother Chens time is precious. You should properly listen to him.
You cant be haughty if you wish to integrate into our class.
Yeah. Thats being ungrateful.
Yeah, yeah
After a few of the heroes chimed in on berating Xing Biqi for a while, everyone promptly returned to their seats and returned to swiping their phones, playing cards, or eating snacks. Everyone behaved as if they had never stood up to speak for the girl at all
Xing Biqi:
Ahem. Lets continue with solving the question. Did you understand my explanation on the definition method just now?
After faking a light cough, Chen Yu placed his hands on his hips and looked at Xing Biqi condescendingly, the meaning in his eyes extremely clearI am a tyrant!
Returning to her senses, Xing Biqi subconsciously raised her head and looked at the ill-intentioned gaze Chen Yu was giving her. Suddenly, a small part of the grievances she felt in her heart gradually transformed into a strange sense of worship
Clamping her legs and clenching her fists, Xing Biqi nervously lowered her head, her mind in a complete mess.
At this moment, she faintly realized that she had seemingly awakened to something
Chapter 99 - Third Livestream (1)
Chapter 99 C Third Livestream (1)
On a Saturday night three weeks later
Peace, really is wonderful.
While leaning his body against the sofa, Chen Yu held a set of playing cards in his hand. He was currently playing landlord[1] together with Chen Yike and Chen Erke.
As for Chen Sanke, she was collecting the discarded cards and acting as the referee.
Three points. I want it.
After drawing the last card, Chen Yu immediately revealed his hand.
6, 6, 6.
Big Brother, youre shameless! Chen Erke pouted in dissatisfaction.
How am I shameless? Chen Yu asked with his brow raised.
Youre shameless! You keep winning!
Thats because Im more skilled. How can you call that being shameless? Stuffing the three cards back into his hand, Chen Yu said, If you dont have more crayons to lose, let Third Eldest play.
Ill play! Ill play! Chen Sankes eyes glowed in excitement upon hearing Chen Yus words. In the next moment, she lay down before the sofa and pulled out a bag of French fries she had hidden beneath the sofa. I I have a lot of wedges
Its called a wager, Chen Yike said.
Wager.
Okay. Nodding, Chen Yu said, Come play, then.
No! Clenching her poker cards tightly, Chen Erke said, I still have over a dozen crayons left. I can win them back.
You wont have any left if you lose again. I wont buy more for you either.
I can definitely win them back! Chen Erke said, her cheeks bulging. She then pulled out a card and slapped it onto the coffee table, saying, Three!
Youre notthe landlord, why can go first? Chen Sanke questioned, playing the role of the referee to her utmost best.
It doesnt matter, Chen Yu said as he waved his hand. Let her go first.
Ive shed my hand. Pointing at the card on the table, Chen Erke said, Its a 3.
Nodding, Chen Yu drew out four cards from his hand and revealed them, saying, Four 3s, bomb!
Chen Erke:
Whats wrong? Is there a problem? Chen Yu asked.
Youre shameless! Chen Erkes face flushed red immediately.
How am I shameless?
I just played a 3, yet you actually bombed me! Nobody plays like that!
Fine, fine. Retrieving his four 3s, Chen Yu switched them with a single Jack. J, go ahead.
Q. Chen Yike placed a Queen on top of the pile.
Small King! Chen Erkes anger instantly transformed into joy as she played the Black & White Joker. In a smug tone, she asked, Will you follow?
Yes. Double King bomb. Chen Yu discarded a Colored Joker and B&W Joker into the pile. Its the end of the chain. Ill continue with four Js. Are you following?
In response, Chen Yike also played a bomb, Four Qs.
Chen Erke:
Be crushed to death, four Ks.
Bomb, four Aces.
Chen Erke:
Bomb, double Joker.
You continue, you continue.
10, J, Q, K, A.
Bomb, four Qs.
Bomb, four 2s.
Chen Erke:
I cant keep up. You continue.
Double 4s, double 5s, and double 6s; Airplane. Im out of cards. Spreading his hands, Chen Yu said, I win.
Chen Erke:
I will gratefully accept my winnings. With a smile on his face, Chen Yu stretched out his hands and took away all of Chen Erkes crayons. He then took 10 exercise books from Chen Yike.
Indeed.
The three of them had different wagers.
What Chen Yu wagered were Nintendo Switch game cartridges.
What Chen Yike wagered were her exercise books.
What Chen Erke wagered were her precious crayons.
After several rounds of landlord, Chen Erke had won a total of five exercise books and one game cartridge. In return, however, she had lost all of her crayons
Shameless, shameless, shameless
Chen Erkes eyes reddened as she reluctantly watched her crayons get taken away.
Youre out of wagers. Step down and let Third Eldest join, Chen Yu suggested.
Okay! Okay! Chen Sanke excitedly pushed Chen Erke aside and started shuffling the cards with her tender little hands.
What are you wagering? Chen Yike asked.
My snacks! Picking up her bag of French fries and opening it up, Chen Sanke said, Well count them piece by piece.
Thats unfair. Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, Your elder sister is betting her exercise books, while Im betting my game cartridges. Both are more valuable than your fries.
T-T-Then What should I do?
How about this? Well count each point for two fries; three points for six fries. Since youre the youngest, your elder sister and I will give you a handicap.
Okay.
Feeling as if she had just gotten a significant advantage, Chen Sanke hurriedly nodded for fear that her elder brother and sister would go back on their word.
After shuffling and grabbing her cards, Chen Sanke eagerly pulled out a card and said, 3!
In response, Chen Yu immediately discarded four cards, Four 3s, bomb
As Chen Yu returned to his room with a pocket full of crayons and fries, he heard Chen Sankes loud wailing coming from the living room.
Landlord really is fun.
Chen Yu had difficulty holding back his smile as he placed his winnings on his study table.
Mr. Chen, I wish to play as well, Little Peach said as she removed her invisibility. Can I play?
Put on your clothes first.
Okay. Putting on the dress Chen Yu bought for her from overseas, Little Peach said with an eager look, Lets play~
Landlord needs at least three people to play. Moreover, there needs to be a wager. What can you wager?
After thinking for a moment, Little Peach reached into her mouth and pulled out a small object, saying, The springs in my body.
Chen Yu:
Are we playing?
Go write codes!
Oh Crestfallen, Little Peach sat before the study table. After looking at Chen Yu for a while, she pulled out another small object from her mouth and asked, If springs are no good, what about pulse capacitors? If thats still not enough, I can wager a hydraulic lever as well.
Go write codes!!
Oh
Grabbing a handful of fries, Chen Yu sat down on his bed and started resting while eating.
Buzz! Buzz, buzz!
A short moment later, his phone suddenly started vibrating, notifying him that he had just received a message.
Again?
Chen Yu frowned at this situation.
Even without looking, he already knew the messages sender was that female agent named Xing Biqi.
Unlocking his phone, Chen Yu entered WeChat.
Sure enough, it was a message from Xing Biqi.
[Xing Biqi: Good evening. Have you eaten?
[Chen Yu: I did. Whats the matter?]
[Xing Biqi: I have another math problem I dont know. Can you teach me at school on Monday?]
Goddamn
[Chen Yu: I was so rough with you, yet youre still coming to me for questions?]
[Xing Biqi: The greater a persons temper, the greater their abilities are. You are a capable person. Since I am the one seeking knowledge, it is only natural for me to be reprimanded.]
[Chen Yu: ]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu tossed aside his phone and sighed irritably.
For reasons unknown to him, the development of the plot was somewhat wrong
He felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap, and he was having a difficult time breaking free from it.
Failing to find a good explanation for his predicament, Chen Yu had no choice but to chalk it up to the other partys professionalism.
To complete her task, his opponent was actually willing to endure all kinds of hardships.
Laying back onto his bed, Chen Yu looked at Little Peach and said, Come here and hypnotize me.
Are you sleeping?
Mhm. The third livestreams product is arriving tomorrow. I need to recharge my energy and go all out.
Okay. Happily jumping off the chair, Little Peach picked up the Hypnosis Rattle and said, Mr. Chen, lets start now!
Huh? Why are you so ea-
Ding, ring!
Ding, ring!

One hour left.
Inside the conference room of an unlisted courtyard in Beijing, the middle-aged team leader of the special situation team sat at the meeting tables head. As the man stared at the large screen on the wall before him, his finger rhythmically tapping the table.
Meanwhile, filling the seats on both sides of the conference room were special agents, military men, professionals of various fields, and university lecturers wearing solemn expressions.
Every professional present also had numerous assistants and employees accompanying them.
In the conference rooms southeastern corner, a small area had also been temporarily segregated for a technical department. Unkempt wires and converters were scattered all around this area. Five printers also continuously spat out printed material. Aside from the sound of machines, the staff members footsteps and the sound of over 20 technicians busily typing away on their laptops also echoed throughout the room, the noise annoying the other occupants of the room.
After looking at his wristwatch for the time, the middle-aged team leader asked solemnly, Has there been any news from the two points monitoring Target A?
Its all routine news, Xiao Li, who sat next to the middle-aged team leader, reported as he slid his finger across the tablet he held. Summarizing the reports submitted by the various units, departments, and teams, he continued, Target A, Chen Yus bedroom curtains have not been opened even once. As both observation teams have not received any further orders, they have not tried taking a closer look.
Do not make any close-range observations, the middle-aged team leader said, waving his hand. Maintain proper distance. Currently, we are the weak and ignorant ones when it comes to technology. All forms of electronic eavesdropping and surveillance are prohibited! We must be cautious! We cannot take any gambles!
Understood.
In response, Xiao Li nodded and started tapping away at his custom-made tablet.
As the leaders personal assistant, he knew that the leader wasnt saying these words to him. Instead, he was speaking to certain bigwigs.
There were significantly varying opinions among the government officials on what kind of attitude they should take against the entity known as Transdimensional Review. There were both radical and conservative factions, and both sides were never able to reach a consensus.
In fact, many people were suggesting that they should arrest Chen Yu after this livestream ended.
This situation caused the middle-aged team leader, who was already burnt-out, to grow even more exhausted.
Leader. Sitting on the other side of the middle-aged team leader, Big Sis Wu put down the thick stack of documents she held and rubbed her swollen temples. Hoarsely, she said, The Eagle Team has already locked onto four black spots. Transdimensional Reviews livestream is about to start soon, and they are behaving more sensitively. Should we polish them now? (Note: The black spots refer to the foreign agents, while polish means to capture them.)
Lets wait a little while longer. We still have a few points we need to dig up. Pay closer attention to the points in Lanhe District.
Understood.
At this time, a staff member working in the background approached the middle-aged team leader and said, Team Leader, this is the 16th edition of Target As psychological portrait Professor Li Mei sent over.
Mhm. Accepting the thick stack of documents, the middle-aged team leader took a deep breath before he started carefully reading the report.
Team Leader, this is the lab report of the item the target left in Shanghai.
Mhm, leave it aside. Ill look through it in a moment.
Team Leader, this is the information on all of Chen Yus relatives.
Set it aside
Due to Transdimensional Reviews next livestream approaching, both he and his core team members had not closed their eyes for two consecutive days. They were all relying on the support of drugs and the medical team.
Half an hour later, Xiao Li reminded softly, Leader, its eight fifty-five. Its time for you to report to the higher-ups.
Mhm.
Setting aside the report he was reading, the middle-aged team leader raised his head, picked up his phone, and left the conference room.
Outside the door, a dozen people wielding weapons with live ammunition stood on guard. Four of these guards split up and escorted the middle-aged team leader into a specially outfitted room.
Hu
Taking a deep breath and filling his lungs with oxygen, the middle-aged team leader dialed a number on his phone. He then put the phone by his ear and said, Hole, hole, two, turn, hook, five, leak, transfer
Roughly three minutes later, the middle-aged man had finished conveying all critical information to his superiors. He then returned to the conference room and sat back into his seat.
Now, there were only two minutes left until nine oclock.
Although Transdimensional Reviews livestream did not always start at nine oclock, most people inside the conference room had stopped working and focused their gaze on the main screen hung at one end of the room.
This, was a protracted battle
This is a goddamned protracted battle.
While sitting on his bed, Chen Yu dangled his legs impatiently.
He had woken up since six in the morning, and he had been waiting ever since. And the closer it got to nine oclock, the slower time felt to him.
He was only a high school student. He utterly lacked the patience of a professional, so he was already growing impatient.
Mr. Chen, why dont you eat something first? Little Peach, who was currently dressed in her usual cheongsam, grabbed a handful of friends from the table and passed them to Chen Yu. Why are you so anxious, anyway?
I dont know. Taking a look at the time, Chen Yu said, I wont eat the fries. Return them to Third Eldest once were done with the livestream.
Arent these your hard-earned winnings from playing landlord?
Do you have some kind of misconception toward the word hard-earned? Moreover, the important thing about playing cards with your family is to be happy. Do I look that greedy to you?
Mhm.
Mhm?
Mm! Little Peach hurriedly shook her head.
Standing up, Chen Yu put on his haori and opera mask. Taking a look at the time again, he wondered, Why does the time go by so quickly when Im playing games, yet its moving so slowly now?
You can play games for a while, Little Peach suggested.
Chen Yu:
At this moment, the numbers displayed on his watch finally jumped to 9:00.
However, contrary to Chen Yus expectations, the wormhole he was looking forward to did not appear. Instead, he received a message on WeChat.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are you there?]
[Chen Yu: If you have something to say, just say it. Dont ask if Im here or not.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay. I hope you can remember these words.]
[Chen Yu: Its nine oclock. Why hasnt the product arrived yet?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im contacting you because of it. A problem has cropped up with the delivery.]
Chen Yu immediately frowned when he saw this message.
[Chen Yu: Problem? Whats the problem? Will the delivery not arrive?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please rest assured. It isnt a big problem. Its just that this product is slightly big, and it cant fit in your room.]
[Chen Yu: You scared me. If its a problem of size, thats easy to solve. Hold on. Ill warp to an empty plot of land.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: An ordinary plot of land is too small as well. Youll need to look for a bigger place.]
[Chen Yu: What about the Sahara Desert?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No deserts. I recommend choosing the ocean.]
[Chen Yu: ???]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Moreover, it should be somewhere far from shore.]
[Chen Yu: What the hell is this item?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You just need to find a place thats far away from shore. We will automatically locate your coordinates.]
[Chen Yu: Fine. Gimme a minute.]
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu walked up to the Interstellar Portal and called up the holographic Earth. He then quickly slid his finger across the hologram.
Ocean Ocean
Lets choose the Yellow Sea thats close to Qingdao City, then
After establishing the spatial link, Chen Yu pushed open the portal.
Creak
Immediately, the sea breeze and salty smell of the ocean assaulted him.
Meanwhile, beyond the door was an ocean that had no end in sightCthe Yellow Sea.
Mr. Chen, is our livestream location in the ocean?
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu leaned half his body through the door and looked at the rough ocean waters raging beneath him. Taking out his phone, he quickly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: Is the Yellow Sea fine?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its totally possible. Ill have the express delivery sent to your location. The space-time portal is opening now Please wait a moment.]
As soon as Chen Yu received this message, space above the Yellow Sea suddenly distorted, and a wormhole so big that it dumbfounded Chen Yu gradually took shape.
How is this slightly big?!
Chapter 101 - Third Livestream (3)
Chapter 101 C Third Livestream (3)
The Yellow Sea, 10 meters above sea level
A massive space-time wormhole that instilled fear in Chen Yus heart gradually took shape. The wormhole had a diameter of at least 300 meters, and an enormous shadow was currently moving through it.
This What the heck is this thing?! Chen Yu could not help but fall into a daze as he looked at the behemoth that was gradually revealing itself. An ai-aircraft carrier?!
Boom!
When the gigantic object finally landed on the ocean, the impact generated massive waves that reached several dozen meters in height!
Danger!
Startled, Chen Yu subconsciously stepped back and closed the portal.
W-Whats wrong? Little Peach asked dully.
No-Nothing
After making an awkward cough, Chen Yu opened the portal once more. And as he peeked through the portal, he saw a massive ship floating amidst the turbulent waves below him!
The ship measured over 200 meters long and 50 meters wide. All kinds of strange tools hung on the left and ride sides of the ship. There was also a massive black cannon at the ships stern that, according to Chen Yus estimation, had a diameter of at least 30 meters! The muzzle was almost as broad as the ship itself. The sight of the cannon was genuinely daunting, and Chen Yu could not even begin to imagine what kind of terrible things could be launched from it
This is absolutely an aircraft carrier, right?!
After standing by the door for some time, Chen Yu slammed the door shut and readjusted the spatial links coordinates. After doing so, he opened the portal again and stepped through it, appearing on the ships deck.
So big
Compared to looking from afar, the size of the ship looked far more impressive and shocking when standing on board.
Looking at his surroundings, Chen Yu discovered that the ships height was also astonishing. The tallest standing tool on board the vessel was at least 80 meters tall. That was basically a 20-story building!
As a human being, while standing on board this impressive ship, he could not help but feel insignificant
If I livestream this thing Wont I be asking for trouble
Looking at the time displayed on his watch, Chen Yu grew hesitant.
Mr. Chen, look at this! At this time, Little Peachs voice came from nearby.
Snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu turned toward Little Peachs direction. Immediately, his eyes took notice of a small table sitting in the middle of the deck. Meanwhile, situated above the table was an oval object resembling that of a crystal ball.
Whats that?
I know this! Proudly puffing up her chest, Little Peach said, This is the access key of an artificial intelligence. You can use it to grant people various levels of authorization, which will give them corresponding control over the AI. This kind of AI is generally used in the processing center of large machinery for industrial purposes.
In other words, this ship is controlled by artificial intelligence? Chen Yu assumed as he walked closer to the table and carefully observed the crystal ball.
Yes. It is commonly used in large spaceships, smart cities, space elevators, and navigation ships. Without the help of an AI, the workload is simply too much for humans to handle.
ThenSince both you and it are AIs, whats the difference between you two?
Using human classification standards as an example, I am considered a human being, while it is still considered an ape, Little Peach said as she pointed at the crystal ball. Although we are both referred to as artificial intelligence, I belong to one of the top three categories of AIs. I possess a consciousness, emotional simulation, independent thinking, values, and a worldview system. In contrast, the AI on this ship still requires key-based authorization. It can only be considered as one of the weaker types of AIs.
So, you were actually this amazing? Chen Yu was surprised.
Of course. Little Peach straightened her body.
But as far as I know, powerful artificial intelligence can even rule over mankind and create a silicon-based civilization. Youre still not at this level, right?
What youre referring to is a First-class Artificial Intelligence. Not only does it have superior computing power, but it is also not limited by its underlying codes. That kind of thing hasnt been created yet in the 22nd century.[1]
So, it hasnt been created yet Chen Yu muttered thoughtfully. After a while, he nodded and continued, Fortunately, it hasnt been created yet. Otherwise, with your unique personality, the civilization you create will be a disaster for the galaxy.
Little Peach:
Lets stop talking about this. How do I use this key?
Just place your palm on it and choose the highest authority.
Like this?
Chen Yu stretched out his hand and placed his palm on the crystal ball.
Buzz!
In the next moment, light appeared within the crystal ball as the virtual projection of a triangle appeared within it.
Thank you for using the Ocean Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.s product. Starting up the central processing server, please wait.
Startup complete. Please name your auxiliary system.
Listening to the strange, electronically synthesized sound, Chen Yu turned to give Little Peach a glance. After a moment of thought, he answered, Dimwit.
Little Peach:
Naming successful.
After another 10 seconds passed, the triangle inside the crystal ball changed into the blurred figure of a human.
Greetings, sir. I am Dimwit. Please set your authorization level. The authorization levels are divided into the management level, operation level, and general level.
Set it to the highest authority.
Management levelCaptains authority. Confirm?
Confirm.
Please keep your eyes open and let Dimwit collect your iris data.
Hearing this, Chen Yu leaned closer to the crystal ball and stared straight at the miniature figure.
Invalid recognition. Please open your eyes.
Chen Yu was momentarily taken aback by the AIs response. However, he quickly realized his mistake and removed his mask before leaning forward again.
Data collection complete. Welcome aboard, Captain. Do you wish to start the guided introduction?
Put the introduction on hold for now, Chen Yu said as he raised his palm. He then looked at Little Peach and said, Come bind yourself to the ship as well. Ill let you be the first mate.
Okay!
Little Peach cheered as she removed her mask and approached the crystal ball.
Invalid recognition. Please open your eyes.
Uu Taking a step back, Little Peach scratched her head and said, I forgot. I dont have an iris.
Theres no helping that, then.
Shrugging, Chen Yu put on his mask and aimed the floating camera toward himself.
Its almost half-past nine now. Lets not delay any things any longer. Well listen to the introduction during the livestream.
Okay. Little Peach nodded before putting on her mask as well and standing behind Chen Yu.
Dont forget about the precautions. Unless I interact with you, dont speak.
Okay!
Im starting the livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili site activation complete.]
[DouYu site activation complete.]
[Youtube site activation complete.]
[Total viewer count: 0]
After these five lines of text flowed by, the total viewer count displayed on the watch started skyrocketing!
3,892.
12,077.
46,014.
119,573
In just 10 seconds, the total viewer count in the three livestream rooms soared past 100,000!
One could easily imagine how many people had been waiting before their screens.
[Ahhh! The livestream is finally here!]
[I only have one thing to say: Screw you!]
[I nearly died from waiting.]
[My finger became inflamed from all that refreshing.]
[Bastard! Where were the additional livestreams you promised?!]
[Do you know how I spent this past month? I refreshed your page for the whole month! Crap!]
[Crap! Youre finally livestreaming?!]
[Awesome, awesome, awesome]
[Ancestor, the UP youre following is finally livestreaming.]
[Everyone, please show some understanding. The host recently had a difficult delivery.]
[Female assistant! I love you!]
[What will you be reviewing this time? Im looking forward to it.]
[Ive taken on the habit of cursing first and watching later.]
[First!]
[Im first!]
[I was the first to come in.]
[Stop fighting. Im first.]
[My son still]
A swarm of densely packed bullet comments flowed through the screen, making it extremely difficult to see the actual content of the livestream.
After giving the bullet comments a glance, Chen Yu could not help but feel a little dazed.
Straightening his mask and holding up his chest, Chen Yu loudly said, Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews third official livestream!
Chapter 102 - Power of Creation (1)
Chapter 102 C Power of Creation (1)
Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms.
After taking a look at the total viewer count displayed on his watch, Chen Yu looked at the camera and loudly said, This is Transdimensional Reviews third official livestream! Thank you for the continued support youve shown me. The product to be evaluated today is slightly special, so I cannot conduct an unboxing session.
Why? Its because it is too big.
How big is it?
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu controlled the camera to slowly ascend.
Ten meters.
Thirty meters.
Fifty meters.
One hundred meters!
As the camera flew higher and higher into the air, the ships entirety entered the view of the 200,000 viewers.
At the same time, the initially crowded bullet comment section suddenly became sparse.
Everyone was shocked by the image displayed before them
Five seconds later, though, another raging tide of bullet comments appeared with even greater intensity!
[My! Freaking! God!]
[What the hell?!]
[An aircraft carrier?!]
[Crap]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[My crap is a little different because I broke my screen.]
[I got too excited and chopped off my hand.]
[All of you are trash! I got too excited that I pulled my ** off!]
[???]
[UP, dont tell me youre going to review an aircraft carrier]
[Is that cannon at the back used to launch a Big Ivan?]
[Im getting a heart attack!]
[This has already gone beyond just burning funds, right?]
[The military budget is burning]
[Things are getting more and more exaggerated. Will you be reviewing a flying saucer in the next episode?]
[I wont believe this is true even if it kills me!]
[I got pulled here by my student. As a teacher, I only have one thing I wish to say. Is the world of youngsters nowadays so wonderful?]
[I am seriously suspecting that the host is an alien.]
[What a domineering carrier]
At the same time
Silence filled the special situation teams conference room in Beijing.
Even the technical staff typing away at their keyboards had frozen.
Everyones brains were muddled as they idly stared at the massive carrier displayed on the screen before them.
After some time had passed, the middle-aged team leader was the first to recover from his shock. Lifting his trembling left arm, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. He then picked up his satellite phone from the table and passed it to Xiao Li before hoarsely saying, Quick Quickly Quickly inform the higher-ups.
Huh? Ah! Yes, sir!
After receiving the phone, Xiao Li still remained at a loss. Only after a few seconds had gone by did he realize what he had to do. While holding onto the phone tightly, he dashed out of the conference room.
Impossible
This isnt possible
Meanwhile, the face of one of the elderly experts seated to the left of the middle-aged team leader suddenly flushed red. The elderly mans lips also turned purple, and he gripped his chest tightly as he gasped for air. Th-This isimpossible
Old Cheng? Whats wrong with you?
Me-Medical staff! Wheres the medical staff? Old Cheng has a heart attack!
Someone come quickly!
The conference room instantly fell into chaos.
Some were rendering first-aid, some conducting data calculation, some having discussions, and some even subconsciously uttering various emotion-filled words. The noise gave the middle-aged team leader a splitting headache.
Quiet, please.
Everyone be quiet!
Bang!
Slamming the table, the middle-aged team leader shouted, Quiet!
The noise in the room suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
Cough. Cough, cough, cough Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged team leader pulled out a medication box from his breast pocket and took out three beta-blockers. After downing the three pills, he continued, I dont wish to waste time maintaining order. Cough. Dont do useless things. Focus your attention on keeping records and making analyses.
After saying so, the middle-aged man returned his attention to the screen on the wall.
Currently, the camera was rapidly closing in on the carrier again
After controlling the flying camera back to himself, Chen Yu said, Ive given you a one-minute panoramic view. Did everyone enjoy it? This is the product to be reviewed today, a ship.
Its a huge, bona fide ship.
Crouching down, Chen Yu pulled out a small metal hammer from his breast pocket and tapped it on the deck.
Clang!
The deck is pure metal, but I dont know what kind of metal it is made of. It is tough and doesnt produce an echo, so it should be solid to the core.
Afterward, he walked to the decks port side and used his hammer to tap on the metallic arm hanging there.
Clang!
This is also metal.
Spreading his hands, Chen Yu said, Looking from up close and afar, the deck, hull, and tools onboard are all made out of metal. Everything from inside to outside is real. I dont think I need to tell you whether this ship is a special effect or not. This ship will be our protagonist for today.
In reality, before nine oclock, even I was unaware that todays review product would be an aircraft carrier. I was close by when this thing landed on the ocean, and I can say I was far more surprised than you.
Accompanied by the camera, Chen Yu walked up to the table found in the middle of the deck. Stroking the crystal ball on the table, he continued, Thus far, the only thing I have done after receiving this ship was to register myself as its captain. I still dont know much about his ship, so lets have the ships AI give us a detailed introduction.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned to the crystal ball and said, Dimwit, start the guided introduction.
Yes, Captain.
A crisp, electronic sound came from the crystal ball and spread into the ears of over 300,000 viewers.
[Artificial intelligence? The type found in the movies?]
[Its clearly AI-chan.][1]
[Are you looking down on my Siri?]
[I just want to know how this carrier got there.]
[I have a feeling the host is going to ignore your question.]
[By the way, why arent any of you paying attention to the ships name?]
[Host, stop showing off. Ill kneel, alright? Ill kneel while watching.]
Entering introduction mode.
The blurry figure inside the crystal ball transformed into a triangular-shaped object once more, and a mechanical sound came from within.
Thank you for using the Ocean Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.s product. The model of this ship is IAI03 (islands and islets) Island-building Ship. It is manufactured in 2176. It is a flagship-class island construction ship capable of efficiently constructing cofferdams, land reclamation, foundation treatment, and revetment. It is possible to rapidly construct an island from a maximum depth of 500 meters below sea level.
An island-building ship? Chen Yu was taken aback when he heard the introduction. This isnt an aircraft carrier?
This ship is the IAI03 Island-building Ship, Dimwit repeated mechanically.
W-What is that cannon back there for, then?
It is a Colossal Sandblaster used for land reclamation.
So, youre only an island builder?
As if it was incapable of having a more in-depth conversation, Dimwit mechanically repeated, This ship is the IAI03 Island-building Ship.
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at Little Peach and said, It turns out that its just an industrial ship.
Thats right. Ive previously said it already. This type of artificial intelligence is generally used as a processing center for large machinery. It is mainly used for civilian and industrial purposes. Military units rarely rely on vessels that are fully operated by AIs. Instead, most of them stick to human-operated models. After all, once electronic warfare occurs, it is very easy for vessels fully operated by AI to lose the ability to counterattack and move.
Fine, then. Why did it have to be so big? It even came with a cannon. I cant help but link it with an aircraft carrier, Chen Yu said as he awkwardly reached into his mask and scratched his eyebrows.
[Are you kidding me? That huge thing is an island-building ship?]
[Maybe its a continent-builder]
[I knew it! How could the UP possibly get his hands on an aircraft carrier?]
[I think a ship capable of independently constructing an island is far better than an aircraft carrier, right?]
[One is a weapon, while the other is a tool. Which one is more awesome?]
[Tools can become weapons as well.]
[Truthfully, that massive sandblaster is simply the perfect weapon to bury people alive!]
[Thats right! One spray towards a port city is all thats needed! Moreover, unlike nuclear weapons, there wont be any pollution!]
[If it can build islands, then it can dismantle them as well. It is entirely reasonable for such a large ship to be capable of dismantling an island.]
[Humans indeed are terrifying! You guys actually managed to twist an island-building ship into a weapon of mass destruction!]
[Ive been looking at the female assistant all this time. I have no clue what you guys are talking about.]
TL Notes:

Chapter 103 C Power of Creation (2)
Aboard the massive island-building ships deck, the ships artificial intelligence was still giving its introduction.
The IAI Island-building Ship is equipped with 36 ultra-high pressure dredge pumps with a flow rate of 350,000 cubic meters per hour, a standard dredging capacity of 120,000 cubic meters per hour, a maximum discharge distance of 180 kilometers, and a maximum digging depth of 510 meters.
While in use, the ship can operate normally even amidst scale 11 winds. It is equipped with state-of-the-art seabed excavation technology; carbon pile positioning technology; multi-channel hybrid and efficient dredging transmission technology; artificial intelligence multi-complex system optimization.
As the AI was further introducing the ships parameters, the crystal ball released a holographic list containing even more detailed ship parameters.
Ship length: 284 meters
Ship width: 91 meters
Maximum digging depth: 510 meters
Maximum power consumption: 841,000 kilowatts/hour
Reamer power consumption: 225,400 kilowatts/hour
Total carbon column weight: 7,100 tons
Maximum sandblasting distance: 22 kilometers
Total length of the dredging pipeline
[]
[]
[Heavens]
[Say again?! This is an island-building ship?!]
[I freaking said it! This is a continent builder!]
[The total power consumption is over 800,000 kilowatts. Is this ship nuclear-powered?]
[Maximum sandblasting range of 22 kilometers]
[Have you heard of an earthen technique that rains down sand from the sky?]
[I heard of it before. Sabaku Soso, right?]
[This is too awesome!]
[If these numbers are true, then the UP is definitely an alien.]
[I specialize in land reclamation. All these numbers are illogical.]
[Even a hundred aircraft carriers cant match this island-building ship, right?]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, the ships AI continued its introduction. In the end, it took Dimwit 15 minutes to complete its introduction of the ship.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu calmed his heart and sorted out his mind. Afterward, he said, Im sure everyone has heard the detailed introduction already. The ships parameters are genuinely frightening. Even I, someone who has no knowledge of land reclamation, cannot help but be shocked to hear these numbers. I honestly cannot imagine that in just another century, mankinds progress in science and technology would progress to a point where they can move the seas and make land.
However, as the saying goes, action speaks louder than words. We can only truly experience the products performance by conducting a real test. Now, we will proceed to the next phase of the livestreamthe product evaluation.
Reaching out to touch the crystal ball, Chen Yu followed the previously mentioned instructions and said, Open the navigation chart.
Yes, Captain. The navigation chart opened. Please select the coordinates and navigation method of your desire.
Accompanied by the AIs electronically synthesized voice, the oval crystal ball suddenly projected a hologram of Earth.
Although I am currently present in the Yellow Sea, my location is relatively close to Korea, making things somewhat inconvenient. Lets move closer toward our home country.
After saying so, Chen Yu tapped on the part of the Yellow Sea that was closer to China.
Please confirm the coordinates.
Confirm.
Please select the ships sailing mode: 1. Standard Sailing Mode; 2. Tension Sailing Mode.
Are there any differences? Chen Yu asked.
In Standard Sailing Mode, the ship uses a propeller to advance. The sailing speed of this mode is slower. In Tension Sailing Mode, the ship actively breaks the surface tension of the seawater at the stern, causing the seawater tension at the bow to drag the ship forward. The sailing speed of this mode is faster.
Theres such a manner of operation as well? Chen Yu was stunned.
Please select the ships sailing mode, the AI repeated mechanically.
Will it be dangerous to go too fast?
The ships hull is made of high-strength carbon fiber, and the surface is fused with a high-polymer nano-coating, so there is no need to worry about hitting reefs.
Youre not afraid of hitting reefs? So, you are an aircraft carrier, right?
Please select the ships sailing mode.
Standing beside Chen Yu, Little Peach hesitated for a while before asking, My King, it doesnt have any excess thinking capabilities. Why are you trying to converse with it?
Im ranting, Chen Yu answered succinctly.
Ill stop with the nonsense. Today, Ill let everyone experience just how fast the Tension Sailing Mode is. After saying so, Chen Yu issued a command, Select the Tension Sailing Mode and advance toward the selected coordinates.
Planning route. Tension Sailing Mode activation complete.
In the next moment, Chen Yu could clearly sense the ship shaking.
The ship was turning around!
Brrr
The deck trembled slightly.
A low-frequency humming noise entered the ears of the 300,000 viewers.
Half a minute later, the ship had finished changing directions. The stern then started vibrating violently, and waves of heat started rising, making it seem as if space was getting distorted.
In the next moment, the behemoth of a ship started moving, its speed gradually increasing. In less than a minute, Chen Yu could already feel strong winds blowing at him.
Three minutes later, the wind became even more intense!
At this time, Chen Yu instinctively felt that something was amiss. Without giving his audience any explanations, he pulled Little Peach with his left hand and grabbed the crystal ball with his right hand. He then dashed into the cabin situated on the right side of the deck.
Whoosh
Whoosh, whoosh
The waves at the ships stern grew bigger and stronger.
The ships continuous acceleration worried Chen Yu, and he squatted down on the floor decisively.
Whoosh
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
The wind outside the cabin screamed, and Chen Yu gradually felt a stifling feeling in his chest.
He was actually experiencing his body getting pushed back as a result of acceleration on a ship
How fast is this damn thing going at?!
[I seriously suspect that there are a hundred hair dryers blowing outside.]
[Doesnt this seem a little fake? Its impossible to sail so fast at sea.]
[I heard that by utilizing the surface tension of space, it is possible to pull spaceships and have them move at the speed of light.]
[So, does that mean UPs ship will move at light speed?]
[Youre a damned genius!]
[God logic.]
[Its both quick and hard! Tsk, tsk.]
[Tsk, tsk.]
[Instant understanding.]
[The greatest value of this ship is still in combat! Its basically a poor-mans version of the Droplet!][1]
[Theoretically, if the ship is capable of smashing reefs, it should be able to smash continents as well.]
[Aside from violence, what else do you people have in your minds?]
[All thats left is quick and hard.]
[Quick and hard.]
[Quick and hard +1]
After the acceleration lasted another five minutes, the ship gradually eased into a steady speed.
Standing up, Chen Yu looked at the seemingly endless ocean outside the window. Sighing, he said, The ships speed is very fast, but it is still insignificant in the vast ocean. Without anything to use as reference and with how stable the ship is, I even have the illusion that the ship is anchored in place.
What would happen if this was outer space? Would the illusion of stillness be even more apparent?
Even if technology continues reaching new peaks, compared with nature and the universe, we are still insignificant beings
Roughly half an hour later, the island-building ship started decelerating.
After another four minutes passed, the ship came to a complete halt. The AIs mechanical voice came from the crystal ball, Captain, we have reached our destination.
Lets go.
Pushing open the door and stepping back onto the deck, Chen Yu discovered that the wooden table placed that previously sat in the decks center had long since flown away. Now, he had no choice but to leave the crystal ball to Little Peach for safekeeping.
After adjusting the cameras position, Chen Yu cleared his throat and said, Weve arrived at the territorial waters of our country. Building an island here shouldnt result in any disputes. Lets see. We currently have a total of 410,000 viewers in all three livestream rooms. Hehe. You guys are lucky. Youll get to personally witness the construction process of a large island from scratch! After today, our nation will get to further expand our territory and territorial sea
After saying so, Chen Yu waved his hand and commanded, Dimwit, start building the island!
Boom Rumble, rumble, rumble
The hull was shaking!
The seawater was rolling!
As if they had gained a life of their own, the many large instruments found on both sides of the deck started transforming and unfolding
Chapter 104 - Power of Creation (3)
Chapter 104 C Power of Creation (3)
Dimwit, start building the island!
Boom Rumble, rumble, rumble
Along with Chen Yus command, the massive machinery found on both sides of the deck started extending themselves, the sound of contracting hydraulic rods combining with the vibration of the hull to create a deafening roar that repeatedly echoed throughout the ship. The loudness of the roar thoroughly displayed the strength of the machines.
King! Look here! Little Peach said as she walked up to Chen Yu with the crystal ball. Amidst the machines roaring, she shouted, You need to determine the general layout of the island!
General layout? Turning around, Chen Yu received the crystal ball and gave it a careful look. After a moment, he showed the crystal ball to the camera and said, Everyone, can you see it? This is a very simple map layout. The blue background represents the ocean. So long as you draw an island on the map, the ship will automatically begin construction. The selections available on the upper and lower sides of the projection are auxiliary options. There are preset island shapes, and also options to change surface area and height.
As the first giant artificial island in human history, we definitely cannot settle for a preset. If were going to build an island, we have to build that looks awesome!
After saying so, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of viewers, Chen Yu stretched out his index figure and drew a circle on the holographic projection. He then proceeded to draw another circle directly beside the first circle, creating a double-circle structure.
Finally, licking his lips, Chen Yu drew a cylinder with a curved tip in-between the two circles, the shape resembling that of a raised middle-finger
An example of the drawing was as followed:

[Whatthe hell is that?]
[The host raised a middle finger at space.]
[My eyes!]
[UP, you really are a goddamned talent.]
[I cant bear to look.]
[I cant bear to look. +1]
[Its actually an Italian cannon.]
[The muzzles direction Does it hold any deeper meaning?]
[My scalp went numb from looking at it.]
[Stop showing off. Ill watch your stream upside down, alright?]
[Mother Natures supernatural craftsmanship]
[Amazing.]
[I truly admire you, UP.]
[One day, when humankind goes extinct, this island will definitely become an unsolved mystery for aliens.]
[Make it quickly! Im dying from anticipation!]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu took a step back and carefully examined the artwork he created. Nodding in satisfaction, he said, Beautiful. Its perfect. This raised middle finger is the representation of mankinds unyielding resistance toward destiny. It fully represents our yearning and feelings for positive energy. The resilience, perseverance, intelligence, romance, and brilliance of our great civilizationall of it is shining at the top of the fingertip!
Regardless of what life throws at us, regardless of how many thousand years go by, and regardless of whether human beings can still continue existing in the future, right now, I just wish to say that we have once been here in this universe.
[]
[I almost believed him!]
[Someone! Come kick his ass!]
[Hurry up and make the island.]
[Host, I still cant figure out how you managed to get your hands on such special effects.]
[Theres actually still someone stupid enough to believe that the host is faking things.]
After drawing the islands shape, Chen Yu made some further adjustments to the islands parameters. He then said, Aside from being able to express individuality, this shape is also very practical. There are two well-defined circles and one cylinder. It will be very convenient to arrange and construct buildings on such an island.
Ill leave the islands height as the default. As for its surface area Everyone should know that I cant livestream for too long, and the bigger the island, the longer the construction time will be. So, after some fine-tuning, Ive decided to set the island at 40 square kilometers. With my superficial knowledge, this size should be equal to roughly four Tianjin Cities. Up till this date, human civilization had yet to build such a colossal island before.
After today, I, too, will be included in history.
After saying so, Chen Yu tapped his finger on the Start Building icon.
Boom Boom Boom
The ships hull started vibrating with even greater intensity.
Two thick carbon pillars protruded from the bottom of the ship, penetrated 120 meters of seawater, and plunged deep into the ocean floor. Immediately afterward, several sharp reamers started reaming and loosening the ground. And with the help of the ships 36 ultra-high pressure dredge pumps, silt started getting sucked into the vessel at a rate of 1,000 tons per second.
According to the AIs previous description, an islands construction is separated into four steps. Currently, we are in the first step, which is the cofferdam stage. Simply put, the silt is first sucked into the ship and compressed into solid cylinders with a 28-meter diameter. These cylinders will then be inserted into the ocean floors impervious bed. Afterward, sand will be injected into the cylinders for further stability. This process is called a cofferdam.
Once we have formed the islands outline using the compressed cylinders, the cofferdam process will be complete.
The second step is to fill the island. After we drain all the seawater from the cofferdam and fill it with sand, we will have completed a simple island. Of course, the island is far from being completed. The third and fourth steps are still of extreme importance. However, were not in a hurry right now. Lets first watch the island-building ship complete the first two steps before we continue explaining.
While Chen Yu said so, the huge cannon barrel at the ships stern gradually extended outward before angling downward to aim directly at the ocean.
Following this, a hollow cylinder with a 28-meter diameter rapidly extended out from the cannon and plunged into the seawater.
Boom!
Roughly three seconds later, the cylinder made out of compressed silt reached the bottom of the ocean.
Boom Boom Boom Boom
Afterward, the cannon started shaking violently as it utilized immense force to push the cylinder downward, plunging the cylinder straight into the ocean floors impervious bed.
This entire process lasted 15 seconds, the vibrations generated causing Chen Yus legs to go slightly numb.
By the time the cannon stopped shaking, the originally hollow cylinder was already thoroughly filled with sand.
Immediately afterward, the ship moved forward by roughly ten meters. The cannon then released the second cylinder. And half a minute later, the third cylinder was released
[This is the power of creation]
[The efficiency is through the roof.]
[This is too brutal!]
[I suspect this ship is capable of creating a new continent overnight]
[This definitely cannot be an act.]
[Thats right. This is too real]
[Our dream of enclosing the Yellow Sea to build a fishing ground can finally come true.]
[I have a big project in mind! UP, will you consider it? Build a highway across the Pacific Ocean that leads straight to America! Well split the toll 50-50.]
[Thats the 18th cylinder now, damnit]
[Nineteenth.]
[Is this how normal humans build islands as well?]
[Why does the term normal humans sound so uncomfortable?]
[Host! Amazing!]
[This is what we call China Efficiency. (Tactical retreat)]
As the amount of silt sucked up from the ocean floor continuously increased, the cofferdams construction speed also continuously increased. In just a little more than 70 minutes, the 40-square kilometer islands outline had taken shape.
Next will be the second stepCfilling the island.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, over 20 large pipes extended out of the tallest machine on the ships port side, the pipes looking like tentacles as they plunged into the enclosed seawater. The pipes then started pumping the seawater out of the cofferdam.
Brr
The roar of the pumps was ear-splitting. The water level in the cofferdam also started decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye. In the meantime, the cannon at the stern began to rise, eventually looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
In the next moment
Boom!
A water column with a 30-meter diameter shot into the sky, the water column reaching a distance outside of Chen Yus sight
Chen Yu: Crap
Audience: Crap
Little Peach: Crap
Chapter 105 - Fastest-made Island in History
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 105 C Fastest-made Island in History
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise, a water column with a 30-meter diameter drew an arc across the blue sky and disappeared into the horizon
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap]
[How can it shoot so far?]
[Unscientific]
[This cannon really is incredible. Not only can it spray sand, but it can even spray water. It basically has unlimited ammunition.]
[Everyone, run quickly! Newtons coffin is breaking!]
[Why not just spray it into the ocean?]
[The recoil should be too strong for the ship to handle.]
[That cannon must be using some special means to eject the water. Otherwise, theres no way the water can reach such great distances.]
[Have you heard of a technique that summons water from the sky?]
[I heard of it. The Great Waterfall Technique, right?]
With how much water the ship was pumping and ejecting every second, it took less than an hour to empty out the cofferdam. The ships efficiency thoroughly shattered the worldview of the industry professionals watching the livestream.
Beijing, inside the special situation teams conference room
Many satellite pictures were currently displayed on the two secondary screens located on the main screens sides.
Unbelievable
The middle-aged team leader felt stifled as he looked at the analysis report in his hands.
A water column of 30 meters diameter sprayed across a distance of 20 kilometers!
The terrifying thrust required to accomplish such a feat was simply unimaginable, so much so that even after two minutes had gone by, the technical department was still conducting calculations and verifications.
Leader, under this kind of thrust, even if the ship has largely reduced the cannons recoil by angling it at a 45-degree angle, with the island-building ships mass, it should still be pushed into the ocean. So, according to our analysis, weve concluded that the ship is utilizing a means unknown to us to keep itself afloat.
Mhm
The middle-aged team leader did not make any further comments on the analysis report. Placing down the report, he turned to look at Xiao Li and asked, How long before our ships arrive?
I dont know, Xiao Li answered, troubled. The higher-ups have ordered us to be on standby. All information regarding the speed, arrival time, and navigation route of the dispatched ships have been kept confidential. Although our group has high authority, we do not belong to the same department.
Understood. Nodding, the middle-aged team leader sighed and said, Im just afraid that other ships would be arriving as well. That will make things tricky
As soon as the middle-aged team leader said these words, silence fell over the entire conference room
Excellent. Both the seawater and the majority of the silt have been drained. Now, lets start filling the island.
On the deck of the island-building ship, Chen Yu faced the camera and pointed at the empty void formed in the cofferdam. Loudly, he said, According to the introductions, the ships reamers will shatter the seabeds rock layer and compress the shattered rock and mud into coarse sand with a diameter of 0.35mm or more. The sand will then be poured into the cofferdam. This sand will also be mixed with a special colloid that will become extremely hard once solidified.
Following Chen Yus explanation, the ship started moving slowly as it aimed the cannon at its stern toward the cofferdam. Once in position, the cannon then ejected a sand pillar with a 30-meter diameter!
Boom Boom Boom
As the sand and gravel hit the bottom of the cofferdam, dull and violent noises echoed throughout the cofferdam. The noise was so loud that Chen Yu had no choice but to hide inside the enclosed cabin for protection.
Following which, minutes and seconds passed by quickly.
The island-building ship gradually circled around the cofferdam as it absorbed rocks and mud from the ocean floor before using them to fill the cofferdam of 40 square kilometers.
Two thousand years ago, the famous Roman philosopher Cicero once said, He who controls the sea controls everything.
1
Meanwhile, the basis of controlling the sea was to control the islands found all over the sea. This was especially true for large islands located in strategic locations.
If used for civilians, the island would generate economic wealth.
If used for the military, the island would further improve the nations security.
The value of such an island was immeasurable
In the end, the deafening sandblasting lasted for over an hour.
When the cofferdam was thoroughly filled, the sun had also reached its zenith.
Walking out of the cabin, Chen Yu looked up at the sky. Straightening his mask, he said, The cannon has stopped blasting sand. It seems the second step of the island-building process is complete. Next, well proceed to the third stepfoundation treatment.
[This islands construction is faster than even a toilets construction.]
[I wonder how many government officials are watching this stream right now?]
[The UP is an alien. I was certain of this ever since I saw the 404 Heat Ray Gun.]
[While Americas aliens are trying to destroy the world and Koreas aliens are trying to fall in love, our aliens are trying to integrate into society. Interesting]
[I, on the other hand, think that the host is a human being from the future. I really hope he reveals his face! Then, I can visit his house to worship him!]
[Impossible. Do you think such an amazing existence would get discovered so easily?]
[Cant the government find him?]
[What a joke. Arent you underestimating the UP too much?]
[Were only watching a livestream. Is there a need to be so serious? Are there really fools that think this is real? These are all special effects, alright?]
[Dumbass!]
[Dumbass! +1]
[Anyone here whos still a non-believer, go take a look at the news once this island is completed. Lets see how youll get humiliated.]
[Information on this will definitely be blocked. Dont even think about seeing it on the news.]
While chaos was brewing amidst the bullet comments, the island-building ship had already returned to the islands side and began the third step, foundation treatment.
Holding onto the railing beside him, Chen Yu pointed at the newly-made island and loudly explained, Although the ship has filtered and modified the sediment it collected, the water content in the sediment is still significant. Hence, for the foundation treatment step, the island-building ship will be using a new generation wellpoint dewatering and heap preloading technology.
To put it simply, the ship will drive a special drainage pipe with holes on the sands outer wall. With gravitys help, the sand will then squeeze the seawater into the dewatering wells and drawn out of the island. In turn, the sand will become more compact and allow the colloid mixed into the sand to function at maximum efficiency
As soon as Chen Yus voice fell, a machine located on the decks starboard side extended out of the ship and opened its hatch. In the next moment, tens of thousands of micro-aircrafts flew out of the hatch. They then landed on the island in neat and orderly rows before plunging thin tubes into the sand below them.
The scene was simply spectacular.
[So many little bees.]
[I feel like Im watching a real-life science-fiction blockbuster.]
[UP, youre awesome! I want to give birth to your children!]
[UP, youre awesome! I want to give birth to your monkeys!]
[UP, youre awesome! I want to give birth to your orangutans!]
[UP, youre awesome! I want to give birth to your potatoes!]
[???]
[Im at Qingdao. Im currently rowing my boat toward the island. Everyone, give me your blessings.]
[What a load of nonsense! All ports in Qingdao are under martial law! Dont ask me how I know this.]
[Its the same for Dalian City.]
[Same for Harbin City.]
[Changan as well.]
[Same here for Inner Mongolia][1]
Shortly after the aircrafts injected their tubes into the sand, with the help of special miniature motors, tens of thousands of water streams flowed out of the sand, quickly flooding the cofferdams surface once more.
Simultaneously, the island-building ship extended its suction pipes once more and drained the seawater that had flowed out.
At this point, the islands construction is mostly complete. The next step will be the final step of the island-building process, which is constructing the revetment. This process is speedy. I believe it wont be long before everyone can witness the official formation of the island.
Buzz
After completing their task, the tens of thousands of micro-aircrafts took to the air. They then neatly flew back to the machine they came from for maintenance and charging.
Seeing this, Chen Yu could not help but admit that the combination of industry and artificial intelligence was the pinnacle of productivity.
To build a revetment, we must first hollow out the outer layer of the cofferdam. Afterward, well replace the removed silt with a layer of gravel that is several meters thick, followed by a layer of coarse sand and a layer of rock. We will then use an oscillator to lift, depress, and vibrate the layers, solidifying
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, however, he suddenly fell into a daze.
Uh
Moving his hands into his mask and rubbing his eyes, Chen Yu looked into the distance with a throbbing heart.
Currently, in the distant horizon, three warships could be seen slowly approaching
Chapter 106 - Small But Mighty
Chapter 106 C Small But Mighty
[Cruisers! Those are cruisers!]
[This is going to be the last episode. Cherish it well.]
[Awesome, awesome, awesome!]
[Its our countrys warships. Look at the flags.]
[Why do I suddenly feel like gloating?]
[Theyre coming! Theyre coming! Theyre finally coming!]
[Theyre coming at the UP. ( ????)]
[Illegal constructions must be demolished.]
[Wheres the moderator? Are there any moderators in the livestream room? Put on a cool song for us.]
[This is the first meeting. Why not let off some gunfire as a celebration?]
[Fight! Fight!]
[Reported. Either youre stupid or foolish for wishing for that.]
[UP, can you share with us how large the shadow in your heart is right now?]
[Theres no shadow in the UPs heart. On the contrary, he even wants to laugh.]
While standing aboard the violently shaking deck, Chen Yu supported himself against the handrail. He silently gazed at the approaching cruisers, his brain rapidly churning for ideas.
After a moment, Chen Yu raised the crystal ball he held and looked at the fuzzy figure in it, saying, Halt the construction.
Yes, Captain.
As soon as the synthetic voice appeared, the island-building ship promptly halted all work and quietly floated amidst the rough sea.
As everyone can see, we have some slightly special circumstances at hand here, so well temporarily stop the islands construction, Chen Yu said to the camera. He then focused the camera toward the three distant warships and continued, Ill resume construction once Ive confirmed that our guests wont intervene in my work.
Naturally, these words werent meant for the 500,000 viewers watching his livestream.
One minute.
Three minutes.
Five minutes
Just as Chen Yu was about to order the ships AI to enter Tension Sailing Mode and evacuate, the three distant cruisers turned their bows, lined up in a row, and stopped moving.
Afterward, each of the three warships raised a large flag, the three flags drifting along with the wind and reflecting the scorching afternoon suns fiery light.
Seeing this, Chen Yu revealed a knowing smile under his mask. Waving his hand, he said, Dimwit, resume construction.
Yes, Captain.
Boom Boom
The hull shook once more as thousands of tons of rubble were ejected and pressed into the cofferdams edges.
Sending a glance at the three warships, Chen Yu redirected the camera toward himself and said, There are several small stages in constructing the revetment. Currently, gravel reinforcement is only the first stage. After we have formed a rough slope with the gravel, we will be using even finer stone to fill in the gaps. Once thats done, we will cover and compress the slope using slabstones, with the slabstones weighing between 10 to 100 kilograms.
After these several minor stages are complete, we will top them with boulders weighing between 300 to 500 kilograms and complete the revetment. And with the revetments presence, we can prevent the ocean waves from eroding the island.
This, is the full process of creating an artificial island. Every step is complicated and rigorous. If it werent for this engineering ship that came from a century later, I cannot even begin to fathom how much manpower and resources it would take to construct an island of such size using current technology.
Lets give our thanks to technology for allowing mankind to defeat nature once more.
[Does anyone know how long it usually takes to construct an island?]
[The construction of a small artificial island will take at least six or seven months. If its in a foreign country, haha.]
[I heard Vietnam tried to build an island using excavators, but the island got washed away before it could be finished! How funny!]
[Theyre too slow. They need to finish the job before the waves take notice.]
[Im prepared to build an island once it gets dark.]
[Eyes: I know how to build an island now! Hands: I can build an island! Brain: Dumbass.]
[Cant you build an island with just a bucket of magma and a bucket of water?]
[Host, youre going to be rich. With this ship, youll become the richest man in the world.]
[How much will such an island cost? Will it be more expensive than the houses in Beijing?]
[I want this island. UP, state your price.]
[See those three cruisers over there?]
Time passed by quickly amidst the island-building ships roaring.
As layer after layer of gravel piled up along the cofferdams edges, the revetments construction continuously progressed toward perfection.
Throughout this entire process, the three cruisers in the distance remained motionless on the oceans surface.
Whether it was Chen Yu or the government, both deemed this as their first frontal contact, so they were extremely cautious and sensitive toward each other.
Boom!
With a loud boom, the ships crane lowered the last rectangular boulder. The ship then finally came to a halt.
Captain, the islands construction is complete. The construction took a total of four hours and twenty-two minutes, the ships AI reported.
Its done?
After passing the crystal ball to Little Peach, Chen Yu manipulated the camera to fly up into the sky and gain a birds eye view.
When the complete form of the island entered the cameras view and was broadcasted into the three livestream rooms, the rooms bullet comment section exploded into commotion once more!
[This shape]
[How unique.]
[Unmatched!]
[Beautiful! Too beautiful!]
[(*??)?tҨs]
[Youre done? Are you not taking responsibility for decoration?]
[Why dont you ask him to build you a basketball court as well?]
[Natures supernatural craftsmanship]
[Earths wiener.]
[]
Swiping across his watchs screen, Chen Yu had the camera return to his side. He then pointed at the island and said in a slightly high tone, As the first large-scale artificial island made in human history, not only does it possess a majestic shape, but it should possess a mighty name as well. Hence, Ive racked my brain to give it a name.
Lets call itWhere the Sword Points, All Obstacles Shall Fall Island!
Truly wonderful. Everyone, if you think this name is good, type 1; if you think otherwise, type 2.
[222.]
[222222!]
[22.]
[2222!]
[2.]
[What a name]
[Youre a true talent.]
[2222.]
[*Island.]
[No comment.]
[Government: ???]
Looking at the enthusiastic responses he received from the bullet comment section, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction as he said, It seems everyone likes this name. In that case, well name this island Where the Sword Points, All Obstacles Shall Fall Island! Sword Island for short! Itll represent our brave spirits in pioneering and using swords! Hmm The overall shape of the island looks like a sword as well! Perfect!
Well, then. With this, the product evaluation phase is over. Todays livestream will also come to an end.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu crossed his fingers and made his iconic gesture before summarizing, Billions of years ago, mankinds ancestors came to land from the ocean. They didnt do so for exploration, but for survival.
Billions of years later, we are turning to the ocean! Not for survival, but for exploration!
To both Earth and the vast universe, living creatures and even life itself are small and insignificant beings. However, only humans are not insignificant! The spirit of pioneering engraved in our genes guides us forward step by step. In the past, we had the Silk Road and geographical discoveries. In present times, we have sent people into space and created extraterrestrial space stations. Our steps might be small and fragile, but we will not stop.
Even though we have made many mistakes, many problems, many contradictions, many conflicts, and many malicein the face of our enterprising spirit, all of our shortcomings seem so insignificant.
Humans, are small but mighty. Even a single spark can start a forest fire!
Civilization, will never die.
After saying so, Chen Yu disembarked the ship via a staircase found alongside the hull. After stepping on the islands solid ground, he took out a small red flag from the inner pocket of his haori and thrust it into the soil.
This is the end of todays livestream!
Let us meet again next month.
Chapter 107 - Harvest
Chapter 107 C Harvest
Im just too cool! My performance was perfect!
When Chen Yu arrived back onto the deck, a pleasant feeling coursed through his body.
Mr. Chen, how many points did you earn for this livestream? Little Peach asked as she approached Chen Yu while carrying the crystal ball.
Sitting cross-legged on the deck and leaning his back against the railing, Chen Yu raised his wrist and made a few swipes across his watch. He then laughed and said, Fifty-four points! What a harvest! My subscriber count is continuously increasing.
With so many points, we can finally buy a new laptop, Little Peach said, her eyes glowing with excitement. Our current laptops performance is too poor. It takes too much time to test software.
Once I see a laptop available in the Transdimensional Store, Ill immediately get it for you, Chen Yu generously declared.
Thats wonderful! Can you take a look at the store now?
Dont be in such a hurry. We still have unfinished problems to deal with.
After saying so, Chen Yu stood up with the railings support and gazed at the three distant warships.
He was certain that many of the crew members aboard those three warships were looking at him.
Should we contact them? Little Peach asked as she stood behind Chen Yu. Raising her hand, she continued, For your safety, I can help convey any words you wish to say to them.
If I let you convey my words, you might end up declaring war for me.
Little Peach:
Captain, we are receiving a primitive radio signal contact. Should I connect it?
At this time, the artificial intelligence inside the crystal ball Little Peach held suddenly spoke up.
Radio signal
Chen Yu squinted his eyes at these words. After a moment of thought, he shook his head and said, Refuse the connection.
Yes, Captain.
Pull out the navigation map and activate Tension Sailing Mode.
Yes, Captain.
As the synthetic voice fell, the crystal ball projected a model of Earth before Chen Yu. After searching for a moment, Chen Yu tapped on a random location on the Pacific Ocean.
Planning route. Tension Sailing Mode activation complete.
Brrr
As the familiar low-frequency roar appeared once more, the deck started vibrating slightly, and the ships hull gradually turned toward the Pacific Oceans direction.
Mr. Chen! A boat is coming! Little Peach said as her mechanical eyes zoomed out. While pointing at the three warships direction, she said, Its a small speedboat! Its very fast!
However, despite looking at where Little Peach pointed at, Chen Yu could only see a vague dot in front of the three warships.
Both sides were simply too far apart from each other. A small speedboat that was only a few meters in length would easily be hidden by the raging tides. Even if his vision had undergone genetic strengthening, it was still difficult for him to clearly see the boat.
How many people are on board the ship?
Three; two men and one woman.
Are they armed?
No, but the elderly man standing at the forefront is carrying a small box, Little Peach said as she continued her observation.
Hmm
While Chen Yu was pondering, the island-building ships massive frame started accelerating.
After hesitating for three seconds, Chen Yu eventually turned away from the three warships direction and walked toward the cabin, saying, Little Peach, get in the ship. Dont get carried away by the wind.
Are we not waiting for those three people? Little Peach asked puzzled.
Theres nothing to wait for. Get in.
Oh.
After entering the ships cabin together with Little Peach, Chen Yu shut the cabin door and sat on the ground, silently feeling the ships rapid acceleration.
He did not think that there was any need for his present self to make contact with the government right now.
After all, ordinary streamers generally wouldnt reveal their real faces before they reached 100,000 subscribers. How could someone of his status possibly make his reveal now?
They left. Theyre too fast. We cant catch up.
Sighing regretfully, the elderly man standing at the front of the speedboat waved his hand in frustration and said, Lets return.
It would be great if the boat is several times faster, the young sailor steering the speedboat said.
Even if we have the speed to catch up to them, we cant do it. That ships Tension Sailing Mode causes the seawater at its stern to lose its tension. If we follow after the ship, well sink to the bottom of the ocean, the female sailor sitting beside the male sailor explained.
What a pity. I really wanted to see this strange man with my own eyes.
While the three people were conversing with each other, the speedboat arrived back in one of the three cruisers vicinity. The speedboat was then hauled back onto the cruisers deck.
Afterward, the three cruisers promptly entered a combat-ready state as they adjusted their angle and sailed straight toward Where the Sword Points, All Obstacles Shall Fall Island.
Meanwhile, a short distance away from the three cruisers, a carrier fleet was also rapidly approaching to provide reinforcements
Whoosh
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
Amidst the howling winds, the island-building ships acceleration came to a halt as the ship started sailing steadily in a straight line.
Sensing that the ships speed had stabilized, Chen Yu stood up and removed his mask. He then looked at the metal sliding door that led below deck.
Previously, during the livestream, it was inconvenient for him to head downstairs. Now that the livestream was over, he could finally take his time strolling and exploring this industrial ship from the future.
Approaching the door, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pulled the handle on it. However, the door remained motionless.
Captain, every internal hatch is under Dimwits control. Do you wish to open the door?
Yes.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the metallic door soundlessly slid to a side, revealing a staircase downstairs. At the same time, the lights along the staircase also lit up.
While touring the ships interior together with Little Peach, Chen Yu discovered that there was plenty of free space inside the ship.
There were two large dining rooms, one small dining room, two kitchens, three large halls, four small lounges, at least 15 bedrooms that came with personal bathrooms, one medium-sized swimming pool, one gym, and 12 empty rooms of varying sizes
The island-building ship was basically a low-cost cruise ship.
The only thing missing were decorations and furniture.
If we combined this ship with the portalwe can use it as a secret base! Chen Yu was much delighted as he returned to the uppermost cabin.
Initially, he had been considering whether he should recycle this island-building ship for other more useful technology. However, looking at it now, even if he set aside the ships ability to build islands, the ship still had plenty of uses.
Dimwit, according to your previous introduction, you said this ship is capable of diving. How deep can it go exactly?
The IAI03 Island-building Ship isnt a specialized submersible vessel, so it can only dive down to a depth of 1,300 meters.
A depth of 1,300 meters Okay. Once we sail into deep waters, dive down to a depth of roughly 1,000 meters in a moment. At that depth, no satellite would be able to find it.
Dive down to 1,000 meters once we enter deep waters. Affirmative. Command has been included in the planning sequence, the ships AI responded mechanically.
Jinzhou City, 3.30 PM:
Stepping through the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu arrived back at his room with an empty stomach. Throwing himself onto his bed, he grumbled, Im exhausted.
The livestream today was his longest one yet.
After entering the room, Little Peach shut the door and disconnected the spatial link. She then asked, Mr. Chen, do you want me to set the island-building ships coordinates for Quick Teleport?
Mhm. Huh? Since when did you become so sensible? Vaguely feeling that something was amiss, Chen Yu hurriedly got out of bed and approached the Interstellar Portal. When he saw the location displayed on the portals interface, his complexion immediately darkened.
You set the teleport destination to the ships deck. Do you want me to get crushed by seawater as soon as I walk through the portal?
Oh! Realization dawned upon Little Peach. Hurriedly, she adjusted the coordinates and set the teleport destination to be inside the ships cabin.
Ive never believed in the movies say robots would one day destroy the human race, but now I believe them.
Im sorry. ??? Little Peach aggrievedly squeezed her cheongsam. She then consciously sat before the study table and started coding, sneaking glances at Chen Yu from time to time
Chen Yu:
Lying back onto his bed, Chen Yu slid his finger across his watch and entered the Transdimensional Stores page, starting his most important work of the day.
Purchasing advanced technology!
Combined with the one leftover point he had, he now had a total of 55 points!
He could definitely exchange for relatively good products.
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products]
As this line of text flashed by, the information of five products immediately appeared on the screen
Chapter 108 - Daily Life (1)
Chapter 108 C Daily Life (1)
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]
After the first line of text flashed by, Chen Yu promptly focused his attention on the first product.
[1. Sweet Voice Candy: Produced by the Green Arrow Food Company in the year 2035. One box contains 400 pieces. The candy is mainly made from liquified helium. When consumed, this candy will effectively reduce the oral cavitys resonance frequency and enhance the mid- and high- frequency sound waves, allowing even men to speak in a sweet and pleasant tone. The selling price is 4 points.]
Chen Yu:
[2. Specific Bait-shaped Insecticide: Produced by the Bayer Company in the year 2079. This insecticide is capable of changing the ion concentration found on the giant axons of cockroaches. It functions by keeping the giant axons voltage-gated ion channels open and allowing the continuous flow of sodium ions through them. This, in turn, paralyzes the affected cockroaches nervous system and eventually excites them to them.
Also, when the affected cockroaches die, they will secrete aggregation pheromones, attracting their kin to consume their corpses. In turn, this facilitates the transfer of the insecticides active ingredients to a new batch of cockroaches, which will then be killed shortly after. This cycle can be repeated up to a maximum of 20 to 32 times. With the help of this insecticide, it is possible to effectively kill all cockroaches within a 100-kilometer radius.

Seeing that the laptop was the only normal product out of the five products listed, Chen Yu had reason to suspect that he was being monitored. Otherwise, with how vast the Transdimensional Marketing Companys product stock was, how could the company just so happen to recommend him the laptop he needed?
Moreover, seven points?! Wasnt this laptop a little too expensive?!
Theyre definitely trying to fleece me. I cant let Little Peach know about this.
After having such thoughts, Chen Yu decisively exited the Transdimensional Stores interface. He intended to only revisit the page after midnight to see if there were any other products worth purchasing.
However, after he turned off his watch, Little Peachs reflection appeared on the pitch-black screen
Chen Yu blinked.
Little Peach also blinked.
Chen Yu:
Little Peach: Yay! This is wonderful! A high-performance laptop!
Chen Yu:
Little Peach: Buy it quickly!
Why are you sticking to me instead of writing codes?!
You cant write code while testing software. If you buy that laptop for me, I can work non-stop! I can earn even more money for you! Little Peach said as she waved her fists excitedly.
Covering his face, Chen Yu said, Actually I dont want you to overwork yourself.
Mr. Chen, you really are kind to me. Favorability plus 18.
Hah. Breathing out a deep sigh, Chen Yu revisited the Transdimensional Store and purchased the fifth productthe Alienware Notebook produced in 2088.
[9 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 46]
In the next moment, space inside the room twisted as a wormhole formed. A white box then fell out of the wormhole.
Before the box even landed on the ground, Little Peach swooped in and caught it with her arms. As if her face had bugged out, Little Peach revealed a big smile as she said, Hahaha! This is great! Hahaha! Mr. Chen, open the box quickly!
You open it. This laptop is your gift.
Upon hearing this, Little Peachs eyes lit up in joy, and she imitated Chen Yus habit of licking his lips when excited. Squatting down, she settled the box on the floor and carefully removed its seal. She then flipped open the lid and removed the laptop inside, exclaiming, How beautiful!
Sending Little Peach a glance, Chen Yu could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the laptop Little Peach held. Jumping out of bed and sidling up to Little Peach, he carefully observed the cyan laptops streamlined body.
Despite the laptops thickness being double that of modern gaming laptops, it did not look bulky. Stripe vents were located on both sides of the laptops streamlined, half-arc body. Breathing lights were also located inside the vents, the lights giving the laptop a technological feeling.
As Little Peach pulled up the laptops display, what entered Chen Yus eyes was an exquisitely curved screen. There were also three rectangular buttons located on the screens left, upper-middle, and right borders.
Reaching out, Little Peach tried pressing down on the left button.
Click!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of sliding gears, a piece of transparent glass suddenly slid out of the monitors edge. On the glass panels upper-left corner, a line of text displayed in black appearedPlease start your computer.
Pushing Little Peach away with his butt, Chen Yu quickly reached out and pressed on the upper-middle and right buttons as well.
Click!
Click!
Two similarly-sized glass panels appeared, the additional glass panels forming a three sub-monitors and one main monitor setup.
Amazing.
The keyboard under the curved screen also made use of a setup Chen Yu was familiar with. Every keycap also shined with a ceramic light and was full of texture.
Just as Chen Yu was about to press down on the power button, Little Peach also pushed him aside with her butt and stole the chance to push the power button.
Chen Yu:
Immediately, the pitch-black screen lit up with a gentle glow. A string of English alphabets also appeared in the middle of the screen.
[Windows IOT15]
Microsoft is actually still alive in 2088. Not bad.
After the familiar yet unfamiliar graphical interface appeared, the left, top, and right screens also started displaying plenty of information.
The ceramic keyboard also lit up with a breathing pattern.
Many virtual buttons and scroll bars also appeared 10 centimeters above the keyboard to Chen Yus surprise. The holographic Alienware logo found on the keyboards upper-left corner even hovered and spun around like a magnet.
This design Folding his arms around his chest, Chen Yu said, Its a little bit showy. Its definitely perfect for playing games.
Its used to make money! Little Peach hurriedly emphasized.
Fine, fine, fine. Take it. I said its a gift, so its yours.
Thank you, Mr. Chen! Favorability-
If you dare raise it, give me back the laptop.
minus 15
OK, take it away.
Unsure whether she should be happy or frustrated at this situation, Little Peach carried the laptop away and settled it on the study table. She then fell into a daze as she stared at the computer.
After removing his haori, Chen Yu walked out of the room to find something to eat. While walking into the kitchen, the corner of his eyes caught sight of his three little sisters grouping up before the living rooms sofa doing something.
What are you guys doing?
Chen Yike: Ah?!
Chen Erke: Ah?!
Chen Sanke:
Surprised, the three girls hurriedly turned around to look at Chen Yu, panic in their eyes.
Hm? Frowning, Chen Yu realized that something was amiss. Did you guys do something wrong behind my back?
Chen Yike: Definitely not!
Chen Erke: Definitely not!
Chen Sanke: Ah?!
Chen Yu grew even more suspicious at their reactions. Walking into the living room, he asked, If not, why are you behaving so sneakily?
Chen Yike: Youre overthinking things.
Chen Erke: Youre overthinking things.
Chen Sanke: Definitely not!
Whats behind you?
Chen Yike: Brother, werent you supposed to be out?
Chen Erke: Brother, werent you supposed to be out?
Chen Sanke: Youre overthinking things.
Chen Yu:
After standing in place and pondering, Chen Yu suddenly made a huge leap into the air and landed on the sofa. Immediately, caught sight of what his three little sisters were hiding behind them
It was a dog!
It was a dog that looked like a wolf but wasnt a wolf!
Currently, the dog was staring straight at Chen Yu with gray eyes filled with wisdom.
Chapter 109 - Daily Life (2)
Chapter 109 C Daily Life (2)
One man and one dog stared at each other for a long time.
And through each others eyes, both sides saw their own reflections
Woof!
The gray puppy suddenly leaped into the air and landed on the sofa. It then started rubbing its head against Chen Yus legs.
Wow! Chen Yike clapped. It likes Big Brother a lot! Big Brother, youre amazing!
Wow! Chen Erke clapped. It likes Big Brother a lot! Big Brother, youre amazing!
Chen Sanke: Ditto.
Stop flattering! Chen Yus complexion darkened. Why is there a husky here?! Why do we have such a thing at home?!
Scratching her head, Chen Yike smiled fawningly and said, I picked it up when I went to fetch Second Eldest back from tuition at noon. It looked very pitiful, so I brought it back. We even went to look for you in your room, but your door was locked, so we thought you werent home.
But were not allowed to keep dogs at our house! Especially not a husky! This is a rented house! If we get caught, well get kicked out!
But Reaching her hand out to caress the huskys head, Chen Erke said, Its very obedient.
The word obedient is the last thing you can use to describe a husky!
At this time, the little husky made a few circles around Chen Yus legs. Suddenly, it stopped and raised its tail, directing its butt toward Chen Yu. It also turned its head around and stared straight at Chen Yu with a pair of mighty eyes.
Chen Yu: What is it doing?
Wait there! Chen Yike said as she pulled out her phone and conducted a web search. She then joyfully said, When dogs meet, they will sniff each others buttocks to understand each other! This action means it likes you and isnt on guard against you!
Bullshit! Chen Yu bellowed. Its treating me as its own kind?! Dammit! We must send it away!
But, its so pitiful. Hugging the husky, Chen Erke pouted, Its so cold during winter. Itll freeze to death.
Our family cant raise it. Mom definitely wont allow it, Chen Yu earnestly persuaded. Moreover, Third Eldest is too young. On the off chance it injures your little sister, wont you feel guilty?
Im not afraid! Chen Sanke declared, her arms akimbo. She then reached out and grabbed the huskys ears, saying, It It cant beat me.
How are you so certain?
We just fought.
Chen Yu:
Big Brother, lets raise it! x3
The problem is, it doesnt matter even if I agree to it. Mom definitely wont let you raise it. Theres nothing I can do about that.
Big Brother, its so cute! It definitely wont hurt anyone! Chen Yike said as she hugged Chen Yus left thigh and rubbed her head against it. If mom wont let us raise it, how about we secretly raise it in our rooms? Please, Big Brother~ Oni-chan~~
Brother! Hugging and rubbing her head against Chen Yus right thigh, Chen Erke proclaimed, I promise to walk it every day. Once it grows up, mom will definitely agree to let us keep it.
Big Brother! Grabbing onto Chen Yus shirt, Chen Sanke climbed her way up his body. She then hugged Chen Yus neck and said, I love you. Lets raise it.
While standing atop the sofa, Chen Yu got overwhelmed by his little sisters and found himself at a loss on what to do.
Woof! With indifference in its eyes, the husky stood up on two feet and hugged Chen Yus left leg. It then started shaking its waist
See that?! Did you see that?! Chen Yu grew furious. This dog is abnormal! We cannot raise it!
Chen Yike:
Chen Erke: ?
Chen Sanke: ???
Under his three cute (threatening) assault, Chen Yu eventually caved in and agreed to secretly raise the dog. After some discussion, they decided to have the dog remain in Chen Yikes room during the day and in Chen Yus room during the night until their parents agreed to let them keep the dog.
In return for his cooperation, Chen Yu gained a minimum of 20 favorability points from his three little sisters. He also secured himself a guarantee that his three little sisters wouldnt barge into his room without permission.
By the time the siblings bathed, dried, and fed the husky, the sky had already started darkening.
To avoid a situation where Mother Chen suddenly came home and discovered their secret, Chen Yu brought the husky back to his room ahead of time.
Huh? Turning around, Little Peach looked at the dog before turning to look at Chen Yu. A dog?
Can you not look at me when youre saying dog?
Hurriedly shifting her gaze toward the dog, Little Peach said, I understand, Mr. Chen.
Chen Yu:
Does it have a name?
Yes. We just named it Pikachu.
Woof! The husky grinned widely as it laid on the floor, a sharp glint flashing across its eyes.
From now on, this dog will be under your care, Chen Yu declared as he picked up the puppy and stuffed it into Little Peachs arms. Good luck!
B-But I dont know how to raise a dog?
No problems. Make full use of your imagination. Anythings fine so long as you dont let it die.
I understand! Little Peach said with glowing eyes.
The next day, 7.30 AM:
After the Chen familys four siblings had their breakfast, they promptly left home and went to school together.
Chen Yu had bags hung all over his body, as usual, leading the way with the posture of a walking humanoid shelf.
Five minutes later, the four siblings arrived before a kindergarten.
Halting his steps, Chen Yu passed the bag hung on his left hand to Chen Sanke and said, Listen to the teacher and have fun.
Mhm! Chen Sanke nodded while sucking on her feeding bottle. After receiving her bag, she strode past the gate and toward her school.
Another eight minutes later, the group of three arrived before a grade school.
Second Eldest, pay attention to class. If anyone bullies you, tell me.
Okay.
Another few minutes later, Chen Yu and Chen Yike arrived before a middle school.
Brother. Before Chen Yu could speak up, Chen Yike said in anguish, Moms not letting us raise it. What should we do?
Ive already said mom wont agree to it. We have no choice but to secretly raise it, Chen Yu said, shrugging. For the next few days, work together with Second and Third Eldest to pester dad. Take turns acting cute and secure a high ground. Afterward, just have dad give some pillow talk to mom.
I guess thats the only way. Sighing, Chen Yike received her bag and turned toward her school.
Wait a second! One more thing!
Hmm?
No dating! Ill break your leg otherwise!
Chen Yike narrowed her eyes at Chen Yus words. Suddenly, her figure moved as she kicked at Chen Yu at lightning speed!
Whoosh!
Having long since prepared himself for this, Chen Yu swiftly dodged the kick. At the same time, relying on his superhuman athletic abilities, he sent a backhand slap at Chen Yikes forehead!
Smack!
Ah!
Chen Yike covered her head in agony and slowly squatted down
After entering Sixth High and walking into Class 2-2s classroom, Chen Yu noticed a small box sitting on his desk.
Carefully observing the box, he found that there was actually a cake in it!
Good morning! Xing Biqi, who sat before Chen Yu, turned around and greeted Chen Yu. With a blush on her face, she asked, I made this for you last night. Do you like it?
You made a cake? For me? Chen Yu was stunned.
Mhm. Xing Biqi shyly lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks spreading all the way to her ears. O-Open it. Theres a surprise.
A surprise?
Growing suspicious, Chen Yu opened the box and removed the cake from it. Quickly, he noticed two English letters made out of dark chocolate placed on top of the cake.
This is Frowning, Chen Yu muttered, Sand M?
Mhm. Xing Biqis body shuddered slightly, her head close to hidden beneath the table.
You As Chen Yu looked at Xing Biqi, an incredulous look appeared on his face. You actually dare curse at me?
Huh?
Arent these the first letters for stupid motherf*cker? Do you think I cant see through it?!
Xing Biqis face blanked out.
You are the first person in Class 2 that dares taunt me. Amazing. You mustve poisoned the cake as well, right?
Uu Xing Biqi opened her mouth and thought to explain herself. However, no words came to her mind.
If not for my sharp wit allowing me to see through the meaning of these letters, I wouldve eaten this cake and had diarrhea for at least three days! I would truly be a stupid motherf*cker, then!
I
Take it away!
Youre misunderstanding
Take the cake away!
Stretching out her hands in a daze, Xing Biqi tentatively took the cake away.
Heh. Sneering, Chen Yu said, What an amateur trick. Tomorrow, Ill bake you a cake with the letters S and B decorating it. If you dont eat it, Ill smack it into your face.
Xing Biqi:
Sitting back into his seat, Chen Yu pointed ahead and said, Turn around. Dont interrupt my studies.
Buzz! Buzz, buzz!
At this time, Chen Yu suddenly received a message on his phone.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, congratulations! After our companys evaluation, your access level has been raised from D- to D!]
Chapter 110 - I am Truly Too Firm
Chapter 110 C I am Truly Too Firm
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, congratulations! After our companys evaluation, your access level has been raised from D- to D!]
Upon seeing this message, Chen Yu could not help but be startled. Immediately, he typed a reply.
[Chen Yu: So soon? I thought I would only receive the results next month.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Now that youve been upgraded to D-level, the official products you receive will have more technological content from now on. The number of broadcasting platforms you can stream on simultaneously will also increase from three to five. You can select the additional platforms through your personal terminal. You can also have me do it for you.]
[Chen Yu: Ill choose them myself; no need to trouble yourself with this. If you have time to spare, help me apply for better products.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats for sure. Please rest assured, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: I believe in you.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu glanced at the invisible watch on his wrist. After hesitating for a moment, he abandoned the thought of choosing the additional platforms now. Instead, he started browsing major news portals and Weibo on his phone, searching for any news regarding his livestream yesterday.
He was still relatively concerned regarding Where the Sword Points, All Obstacles Shall Fall Islands situation.
However, even after searching for a while, he still couldnt find anything.
This remained true even when he tried browsing the web using special software. He simply couldnt find any news relating to Transdimensional Review.
Even the occasional forum post he came across discussing Transdimensional Review would get manually deleted shortly after.
However, it was also obvious that as his popularity grew, the various countries governments would have an increasingly difficult time preventing information about Transdimensional Review spreading. In his opinion, it wouldnt be long before the various governments blockade would collapse. And when that happened, he would quickly become a global sensation.
I should try to raise my access level as much as possible before my subscriber count skyrockets
Thinking so, Chen Yu stopped browsing the net and visited Bilibilis platform.
Here, discussions of Transdimensional Review were much more abundant.
Aside from himself and the Transdimensional Marketing Company, nobody else could interfere with his comments section. As a result, millions of subscribers were actively conversing with each other here.
Of course, plenty of these subscribers shouldve received an invitation from the government for tea
Regardless, most of the conversation topics held in his videos comment section talked about whether Transdimensional Reviews UP was an alien, and about yesterdays Sword Island. There was an endless number of speculations and rumors made.
Also, from Chen Yus godlike perspective, he noticed ghostwriters presence in the comments. Many of these ghostwriters continuously published pictures and satellite images proving that no artificial island could be found in the location he held his livestream at yesterday.
In response to these ghostwriters so-called proof, there were those that rebutted, those that agreed, those that sought to fan the flames, and those that sought entertainment.
The comment section below Transdimensional Reviews every video could basically be called a battlefield. There was plenty of information available here, with plenty of lies and truths mixed within. Netizens that lacked independent thinking quickly found themselves trapped within this rabbit hole, unable to distinguish between fact and falsehoods.
However, despite this being the case, Chen Yu had not the slightest thought to interfere in the situation.
Turning off his phone, he withdrew his thoughts from his channel and started pondering another problem.
Why hadnt Principal Pang and Niu Lanshan come to urge him to do sports?
This was clearly abnormal!
Hence, during recess, Chen Yu promptly headed upstairs to pay Principal Pang a visit. However, when he arrived before the principals office, he found that the office doors were locked.
After asking around, he found out that Principal Pang had gone on a business trip together with Niu Lanshan.
So, thats the case. Hes going on a business trip, so hes too busy to care about me for now. What good luck. That saves me a lot of trouble.
As Chen Yu walked back to his classroom, a smile crept onto his face.
He felt that he was simply too firm.
He did not let even a single clue about his identity leak. And despite going up against countless experts and special agents, he remained holding his ground.
He was truly amazing.
At the same time, in an underground area near the outer parts of Jinzhou City
Resting his pickaxe onto his shoulder, the black man wiped the sweat off his face. Looking at the white team leader struggling to dig through the wall ahead of them, the black man sighed and asked, Leader, are we miners or agents? How long more do we have to continue digging?
Stop complaining. Spitting out a mouthful of spittle mixed with dirt, the white team leader said, Well reach that warehouse once we continue digging for another dozen meters or so. According to the technical departments analysis, that warehouse is very likely to be the location where Transdimensional Reviews UP demonstrated the 404 Heat Ray Gun. We need to hurry up.
Wont we be able to locate that UP so long as we find the warehouses owner? What are we digging here for? the black man asked, frowning.
The warehouse owners identity has been hidden, and we havent had any luck uncovering any useful information thus far. There are also hidden sentries posted outside the warehouse. Our only option is to secretly dig our way into the warehouse and search for clues.
Wont China set up a trap for us inside the warehouse?
No. Shaking his head, the white man said, Weve conducted thermal and electromagnetic scans of the warehouse already. Nobody is inside the warehouse. Chinas government seems to have a discreet relationship with that mysterious UP. Theyre behaving with extreme caution right now, so they shouldnt have entered the warehouse yet, so this is a perfect chance for us! Stop talking and start digging quickly!
OK. Taking in a deep breath, the black man raised his pickaxe and resumed digging once more.
Meanwhile, in a location outside of the two peoples view, there would occasionally be a civilian walking by the hole the two were in. This civilian would then toss down a shock sensor to inspect the two agents digging progress
Night, 7 PM:
After Chen Yu returned home from school, before he could even greet his mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, his three little sisters pounced on him like hungry wolves and dragged him into the bathroom
Brother! Why are you so late?! The doggy is going to starve to death! Chen Yike anxiously said in a quiet voice. Hurry up and open the door!
Its fine. I left something for it to eat. It wont die.
Waving his hand, Chen Yu led his three little sisters out of the bathroom. As he stood before the door to his room, he lightly coughed and said, Im going in!
After dawdling before the door for 10 seconds, he pulled out his key and unlocked the door.
Upon opening the door, however, he failed to see any signs of the husky
Huh?
Puzzled, Chen Yu walked into his room and started looking around.
Little Peach was capable of going invisible, so it was understandable for him not to see her, but did the husky become invisible as well?
Wheres the dog? Scratching her head, Chen Sanke looked at Chen Yu and stated, Pikachu is gone.
Brother! Did you toss him away?! Chen Yike exclaimed as she covered her mouth in shock.
Nonsense! Do you think Im that immoral?
Wheres the doggy, then?
I see it! Chen Erke suddenly raised her hand and pointed beneath the bed. I see its tail.
Hearing this, Chen Yu looked in the direction of Chen Erkes finger. He immediately spotted a tail sticking out from underneath his bed, the tail wagging left and right.
What are you doing under my bed?
Stepping forward, Chen Yu grabbed the tail and pulled the husky out, simultaneously pulling out the red cheongsam in the huskys mouth
Chen Yu:
Chen Yike:
Chen Erke: Pikachu! I missed you!
Chen Sanke: Hahaha.
Silently tucking the cheongsam back under the bed, Chen Yu circled around his two little sisters, who were playing with the dog, and arrived before Chen Yike. With a calm expression, he said, Lets test your knowledge. Do you know of Thor in Norse mythology?
I dont know.
The Thunder God Thor once wore a wedding dress and pretended to be a bride to assassinate Thrym to reclaim his stolen hammer.
Then?
Ill give you another question. Do you know of Japans Yamato Takeru?
I dont know.
He once disguised himself as a woman and assassinated the leader of the Kumaso Tribe in Kyushu.
So?
So, Ive been practicing assassination all this time, Chen Yu explained.
Chen Yike:
If you dont believe me, Ill tell mom now and have her drive this dead dog away.
I believe you, I believe you, I believe you.
I feel that youre messing with me.
No, no. I believe you. I really believe you
Chapter 111 - Additional Livestream (1)
Chapter 111 C Additional Livestream (1)
After waiting for his three little sisters to be done playing with the dog and leave his room, Chen Yu promptly locked the door and turned around with a grim expression. Little Peach! Where are you? Come out.
As soon as these words fell, a noise came from under the bed as Little Peach crawled out from there.
Chen Yu:
Standing timidly before Chen Yu, Little Peach lowered her head and muttered, Mr. Chen
Why were you under the bed? What were you doing in there with the dog?
When you arrived back home, I knew that your three sisters would come in, so I turned invisible immediately. However, Pikachu sniffed out my smell and kept sticking to me, so I had no choice but to hide under the bed.
And then Pikachu followed you under the bed, right?
Yes.
It bit onto the cheongsam because your smell was on it, right?
Yes.
And then you took off your cheongsam?
Yes.
If its not behaving, why didnt you beat it?
Didnt you say I cant kill it? Little Peach asked, puzzled.
Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu said, I only told you not to let it die! Also, why must you strike to kill?
If thats the case, I understand. Little Peach nodded vigorously. Patting her chest, she assured, If you believe in me, I definitely wont let such a situation happen again.
Fine, I believe you. Stop patting. My eyes are getting dizzy. Put on your clothes first.
Okay.
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at the husky and said, You, off the bed.
Now that it had just enjoyed the three human females massage, the husky laid lazily on the bed. It did not even lift its eyelids at Chen Yus words.
Dammit, they spoiled you rotten.
Stepping forward, Chen Yu pinched the huskys neck and tossed it onto the floor.
Woof!
The husky rolled itself upright after hitting the ground and stared at Chen Yu with wisdom in its eyes.
Ill have you castrated if you continue staring.
The husky promptly shifted its gaze away and stared at the ground, its mind falling into thought.
Argh, its still warm, Chen Yu complained as he sat down on the place the husky previously laid on. He then canceled his watchs invisibility and started taking care of more important matters.
Firstly, now that his access level had reached D, he needed to choose two new broadcasting platforms to host his videos and livestreams.
[Welcome to our companys personal terminal, Mr. Chen.]
[Your access level has been raised. Your personal information is as follows:]
[Name: Chen Yu]
[Access Level: D (Number of live streaming platforms opened: 5)]
[Current Subscribers: 614,407]
[Current Accumulated Points: 46]
[Main Target: Raise your access level to D+ within four promotional quarters.]
[[Please select two additional platforms to livestream from. (0/2)]
A series of texts flowed across the screen, followed by the icons of hundreds of broadcasting platforms.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Yu tapped on two icons.
[You have selected Kuaishou and TikTok.]
[Please confirm.]
Confirm.
[Confirmed. Registering the default username Transdimensional Review.]
[Registration complete.]
In addition to Bilibili, DouYu, and Youtube, he would now livestream his reviews onto two short video broadcasting platforms. Even if the government placed a strict lockdown on information and prevented these platforms from recommending his channel, he believed that his popularity would still skyrocket soon.
Little Peach, Ive added two new platforms. Log in to those platforms and help me upload my previous videos to Kuaishou and Tiktok.
Understood.
Little Peach nodded. She then rapidly tapped away at the physical and holographic keyboards of her new laptop.
Meanwhile, this new change naturally shook the special situation teams office.
Far away in Beijing, after the middle-aged team leader was done reading the formal written report he received, he immediately issued orders to meet with the two broadcasting companies heads and operations teams.
After selecting the new platforms, Chen Yu slid his finger across his watch and started working on the second most important task he needed to deal withexchanging technology.
He still had a considerable sum of 46 points.
He felt uncomfortable letting these points just sit around.
As his popularity increased, the amount of points he would get from each livestream would also increase. Hence, in his view, the act of saving money was somewhat foolish.
Moreover, as a normal human being, he similarly possessed a heart of curiosity.
Compared to practicality, he was more concerned about finding out the limits of technology. He was also curious to find out how human society would look like in the future.
Everyone was capable of looking back at history.
However, only he was capable of looking into the future
After entering the Transdimensional Store, Chen Yu saw that the five listed items had been updated already. Excluding the first three ridiculous products, the last two products caught Chen Yus interest.
[4. High-frequency Lightsaber: Produced by the Competitor Group in the year 2227. The shape of the lightsaber resembles that used by Jedi warriors. The lightsabers hilt is made using titanium, and the blade consists of magnetically contained plasma. The thickness and length of the blade can be adjusted at will. The blade is also indestructible and cuts iron like mud. Under standard sunlight, the lightsaber only needs one hour to get a full charge. The selling price is 35 points.]
[5. Flexible Dual-Screen Foldable Smartphone: Produced by the Xiaomi Corporation in the year 2023. The smartphones main body is composed of two 6.2-inch screens, with a flexible screen on the right serving as the joint. The smartphone can be expanded to form a large 14-inch screen. The smartphone runs on a Snapdragon 875+ chip, a 20+1T memory combination, a built-in TVOC gas sensor, and a 6,200 mAh nano-silicon battery. The smartphone has an under-screen 48MP camera and a third-generation 3D ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking system. The selling price is 3 points.]
These two products were more than worthy of being used as materials for additional livestreams.
The former was brimming with science and technology. It also looked extremely cool! Even if the lightsaber turned out to possess minimal killing potential, Chen Yu still had the urge to purchase it and play around with it.
As for the latter, it was a product very close to his current timeline. The company that produced the product was also a real company that existed in 2020. It came naturally with its own appeal. If he reviewed it in a livestream
Hehehehe
While his mind became filled with strange thoughts, Chen Yu started excitedly rubbing his hands together and smiling like a devil.
Without much hesitation, he purchased both items from the Transdimensional Store.
[39 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 7]
[4 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 3]
As these two lines of text flashed past the screen, a wormhole immediately appeared in the middle of his room. Two boxes, one long and one short, fell out of the wormhole.
Thud.
Thud.
After the boxes landed on the ground and the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu stepped forward, picked up the boxes, and carefully observed them.
The long box wasnt particularly long, the boxs length reaching at most 50 centimeters.
The short box wasnt particularly short either, its length reaching at least 30 centimeters.
Mr. Chen, you redeemed products again? Little Peach asked as she leaned over and looked at the boxes.
Woof! The husky also ran over and sniffed the boxes.
Mhm. Well hold an additional livestream tonight. Pushing the husky away, Chen Yu placed the two boxes on the table. Keep an eye on the dog. Dont let it bite the boxes. Ill go to dinner first. After dinner, well start the livestream at nine oclock sharp.
No problem! If Pikachu reaches them, you can remove my head, Little Peach assured and patted her chest.
Um Will you die if your head gets removed?
Of course, I wont die! Why do you ask?
Chen Yu: So long as youre happy.
Mhm.
Oh, right, make sure to make an announcement on the five platforms that were going to conduct a livestream at 9 PM tonight. That should help pull in more viewers.
No problem. Will you be livestreaming both products together?
Of course were going to split them into separate livestreams! We can earn two sets of points!
Oh! Little Peach came to a realization. Mr. Chen, youre so smart! You even managed to think of this!
This is called great wisdom. Make sure to learn it.
Which item will you be reviewing tonight, then?
Stretching out a finger, Chen Yu said, Of course, its this one!
Chapter 112 - Additional Livestream (2)
Chapter 112 C Additional Livestream (2)
Inside the kitchen, the Chen family of six were currently having a quiet dinner together.
After swallowing her food, Mother Chen suddenly asked, Chen Yu, I have a few things to ask you.
What is it? Chen Yu responded while chewing his food.
How is your part-time editing job doing recently? Are you still making money?
Of course. If you want money, I can transfer some to you tonight through WeChat.
Im just asking. You already have several tens of thousands kept in our place. From now on, keep the money you earn yourself. You should start learning how to save money yourself as well, Mother Chen said. After pausing slightly, she continued, What about the sports matter? When will you start participating in competitions?
Im not competing in anything. I already said Im not going to become a sports student.
So, you ruined the deal?
What do you mean ruined the deal? Your son is good-looking and has good technical skills. Whats wrong with entering university and making big money?
You can enter university without taking an exam nowadays? Father Chen interrupted.
Slapping his chopsticks onto the table, Chen Yu complained,
Why has every family discussion we held as far as I can remember made me upset?
Fine, fine. Youre old enough and can make money now. You can have the final say on your own matters. We wont interfere in your life anymore, Mother Chen said, shrugging. She then swept a glance at Chen Yike, Erke, and Sanke before asking Chen Yu, Lastly, I seemingly heard a dog barking in your bedroom last night. Whats up with that?
As soon as Mother Chen spoke these words, Chen Yikes body stiffened, Chen Erke grew flustered, and Chen Sanke grew bewildered. At the same time, all three siblings turned their gaze toward Chen Yu
Um After exchanging looks with his three little sisters, Chen Yu pondered a moment before saying, Woof.
Mother Chen:
Father Chen:
Woof! Sweat starting to form on his forehead, Chen Yu asked, Was it this sound?
For a moment, all three sisters neatly and simultaneously gave a thumbs up to Chen Yu as they inwardly thought, My Big Brother is awesome!
After crudely pooling the wool over his parents eyes, Chen Yu walked out of the kitchen and returned to his room under his three little sisters gazes of admiration.
After locking the door, Chen Yu laid down on his bed and stretched his body. He then turned toward Little Peach and asked, Have you made the announcement posts yet?
Theyre published. They got a lot of clicks. Bilibili still has the most views, numbering over one million now. However, both Kuaishou and TikTok dont support text posts, so I didnt make any announcements there.
I barely have any fans on those two platforms. Its fine even if we cant make any announcements there, Chen Yu replied nonchalantly. He then turned over, revealing his belly as he closed his eyes and took a short nap. After his nap, he got out of his bed and walked up to Little Peach, saying, Let me have the table for now. I want to write a script. Its been quite some time since I wrote anything.
Okay. Picking up her laptop, Little Peach obediently gave Chen Yu her seat.
Half an hour later
After memorizing the script he wrote, Chen Yu burned it into ashes. He then retrieved his haori and Little Peachs cheongsam from under the bed, tossing the latter to Little Peach. Put it on. Its time to livestream.
Little Peach returned her laptop onto the table, quickly changed into the cheongsam, and put on her mask. She then walked up to the Interstellar Portal and asked, Mr. Chen, where will we livestream at today?
America. Its still daytime over there. Find a place thats deserted.
Okay! Should we head back to Sacramento?
Sure, but not at the same place as we appeared last time. The American government couldve easily stationed a lookout there. After putting on his haori, Chen Yu picked up one of the two white boxes. He then walked up to Little Peach and urged, Are you done choosing yet?
Im done! Little Peach hurriedly pressed the Confirm button. Once the spatial link was established, she promptly pushed open the door and said, Mr. Chen, you first.
Good girl. Bring that thing as well.
Okay.
After stepping onto the soil located on the other side of the world, Chen Yu clamped the box under his armpit and raised his wrist, and manipulated his watch. After directing the floating camera toward himself, he put on his mask and quietly waited for 9 PM to arrive.
Its nine oclock! Start the livestream!
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]

After these several lines of text flashed by, the viewer count displayed on the watchs screen started rapidly increasing!

58,923
In just 10 seconds, the total viewer count had broken through 50,000, and it was still continuously increasing.
[Hahahaha! Its livestream time!]
[The days without you are so lonely.]
[Exactly nine oclock! Perfectly punctual!]
[Cant you do official livestreams more frequently? Once a week is fine as well!]
[Huaqiangbei has joined the livestream room.]
[I see the female assistant again! I just so happen to be on the bed! Wonderful!]
[I have a full set of the female assistants screenshots. I have her in all sorts of poses. Message me if youre interested.]
[Its daytime in the livestream. UP, have you gone to harm Americas citizens again?]
Greetings, friends in the five livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Review. Im sure everyone is aware of this, but todays livestream is considered an additional review. I will only let everyone witness the wonders of future technology. Well, then, lets dispense with the nonsense and start the review.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the box in his hands and turned it full circle before the camera. Todays review product is this thing in my hands. To enjoy this product with everyone, I havent unboxed it yet. This is a moment that belongs solely to us.
Tear.
Through the cameras lens, nearly 200,000 people watched Chen Yu remove the seal, open the box, and reveal its product.
An exquisitely made hilt!
After taking out the hilt and instruction manual, Chen Yu tossed the box aside and displayed the hilt to the camera, saying, Its this thing. This is a magical tool that has appeared in novels and movies countless times. Im sure that everyone can guess its name even without me saying it.
[I know! Its a switchblade!]
[Nonsense! Its obviously a flashlight.]
[Idiots. That things a water pistol, right?]
[Isnt this a womens product?]
[Brother! I get you!]
[This thing is good, hehehe]
[Im reporting you, host.]
[While were on this topic, UP, wont you consider evaluating female simulation robots?]
[Agreed! Your subscriber count will definitely explode! Youre not afraid of getting banned in any case.]
[Truthfully, UP, if you have a conscience, you should give us some adult benefits.]
[Strongly request for the review of adult items!]
[Strongly request for the review of adult items!]
[Strongly request]
Chen Yus complexion darkened as he looked at the barrage of bullet comments flowing across his watchs screen. Forcefully returning to the main topic, he said, Thats right! Everyone guessed it! This product is the legendary lightsaber!
After saying so, Chen Yu opened the instruction manual and hurriedly scanned through it. He then explained, The lightsabers full name is the High-frequency Lightsaber. Its hilt is made of titanium and an ergonomic shape. The grip is non-slip, shockproof, and comfortable to hold in the palm.
The blade of the lightsaber is composed of plasma bound by a strong magnetic field, and the length and width of the blade can be freely adjusted. According to the instructions, the blade is indestructible and cuts iron like mud. As for the lightsabers manufacturer and production year, as this is an additional review, I cannot elaborate on this.
Passing the instruction manual to Little Peach, Chen Yu took a few steps forward and gripped the lightsaber with both hands. He then faced the camera and said, I will now activate this lightsaber and thoroughly test whether it is truly indestructible!
After saying so, he promptly pushed down on the hilts switch.
Buzz!
A strange, buzzing sound appeared!
In the next moment, a hot and dazzling beam of light suddenly emerged from the upper-end of the hilt. Looking from the cameras perspective, it was as if the beam had cleaved Chen Yus upper body in two
Chapter 113 - Additional Livestream (3)
Chapter 113 C Additional Livestream (3)
Accompanied by a strange buzzing sound, a scorching white beam emerged from the hilt!
In the next moment, the westerly wind sent Chen Yus haori fluttering. Simultaneously, as the blinding glow from the lightsaber settled, a simple Peking opera mask appeared behind it. Combined, the two scenes caused Chen Yus appearance to become overflowing with a sense of coolness and fierceness.
The bullet comment section immediately exploded into activity.
[Stop acting! My eyes hurt!]
[Awesome!]
[One wordStunning!]
[Its really a lightsaber!]
[And here comes the question. Is the lightsaber stronger, or is it the 404 Heat Ray Gun? If the two are pitted against each other, will the heat ray melt the lightsaber, or will the lightsaber bisect the heat ray?]
[It depends on who manages to streak the others main body first]
[Shouldnt the real question be what would happen if two lightsabers clash with each other?]
[The human beings of the future genuinely are terrifying.]
[Is there a limit to the length of the blade? If not, please split the Earth in half. I want to see whats inside.]
[You might as well split the sun]
Tightening his grip around the hilt, Chen Yu carefully pointed the blade forward.
This weapon was no laughing matter.
As the lightsabers wielder, he could tell that it was much more dangerous than the 404 Heat Ray Gun. If he accidentally brushed the blade across his body, he might become the joke of the century.
Now that Ive powered up the blade, lets talk about my impressions. The beam itself doesnt give off any heat. However, if my skin comes close to it, I will still feel discomfort. Moreover, I can constantly hear a very faint sound of something burning. It might be a result of the lightsaber disintegrating the tiny substances in the air.
Raising the lightsaber with both hands, Chen Yu approached a nearby boulder. After a moment of hesitation, he executed a powerful downward slash!
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the lightsaber cut right through the boulder, bisecting it.
I didnt feel any resistance. The blade easily cut into the boulder, Chen Yu commented as he adjusted his mask. Taking a step back, he pulled the lightsaber out of the boulder and powered it off. He then set aside the lightsaber and pushed the boulder with his hands.
Thud!
Thud!
The two halves immediately fell aside, their landing causing dirt and dust to rise up into the air.
Once the dust settled, Chen Yu had the camera zoom in on the boulders cut surfaces.
Theyre incredibly smooth Chen Yu exclaimed as he stroked the cut surfaces. They feel like mirrors, honestly. I cant feel any burrs at all. I really wish to remove my glove and feel the surfaces directly. However, I cant afford to leave behind any fingerprints, so lets forget it.
Picking up the High-frequency Lightsaber again, Chen Yu stood up had the camera zoom out. He then continued, The simple test is over. Everyone should now have a basic understanding of this lightsabers function. Next, Ill conduct a more intense test to thoroughly measure this weapons performance.
Firstly, lets test its width adjustment.
After saying so, Chen Yu powered up the lightsaber and pushed on the small button located near the top of the hilt. Its quite tight, so Ill need to use more strength.
Buzz!
Along with Chen Yus fine-tuning, the originally slender blade gradually expanded.
Five centimeters.
Ten centimeters.
Twenty centimeters.
Fifty centimeters.
Eventually, the blade expanded up to a width of one meter
[Crap]
[You call this a sword?]
[Lightsaber (x); Lightwall ()!]
[A slap from this thing, and youll disappear.]
[Why must you describe it using a slap?]
[Too awesome.]
[I dont care whether the UP is an alien or someone from the future. I just want to see how many more mindblowing technologies he has to reveal.]
[I cant bear to look at it. Such a lightsaber doesnt look cool at all.]
[My mind is already imagining a scene where two fighters are dueling while wielding lightwalls.]
Wow Chen Yu could not help but be amazed as he looked at the one-meter-wide lightsaber. It can actually expand to such an extend. Amazing.
Moreover, even after expanding it, the lightsabers weight did not increase at all. I can still freely swing it around. Now, lets test whether the lightsabers lethality has been weakened due to its increased width.
While saying so, Chen Yu raised the lightsaber and slapped it down at the split boulder before him.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh
The two halves of the boulder vanished layer after layer. The vaporized layers transformed into dust that flew away along with the wind.
Sure enough, the power has not diminished at the slightest. I still cant feel any resistance when cutting through the boulder.
Powering down the lightsaber, Chen Yu bent down and grabbed a handful of dust accumulated on the ground. Showing the dust to the camera, he said, The dust is incredibly fine. Looking at this scene, I suddenly gained an idea. There should be no need for crushers in the future. Or maybe future crushers will come in the form of plasma cutters like this lightsaber.
[So, am I to understand that you are waving a crusher around?]
[This thing should be equipped at garbage dumps.]
[UP, the whole world is getting increasingly unsettled.]
[Conclusion: The most significant advancement in future technology is that corpse disposal will become increasingly convenient.]
[My lord, times have changed.]
[Excalibur has angrily left the livestream room.]
[Give me one as well.]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu took several steps back and looked at the hilt in his hand. He then showed one side of the hilt to the camera, saying, Can you see this stripe? This is the energy indicator. Under normal operation, the lightsaber is very energy-efficient. However, if the width is increased, the energy consumption will increase exponentially. This weapon is still in line with the law of conservation of energy.
Next, well test the limits of the length adjustment.
As Chen Yu pushed down on another button on the hilt, the plasmas confinement gradually extended.
Two meters.
Five meters.
Ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Eventually, the blade extended up to 40 meters!
Compared to the lightsaber, Chen Yu, who wielded the weapon, looked no different than an ant, the scene looking incredibly disharmonious.
[Crap!]
[Sorry, but my vocabulary is lacking. Crap!]
[Crap!]
[WDF]
[Isnt that a little exaggerated?]
[How long is that? I cant even see the end of it]
[It looks like a 10-story building.]
[My lord, times have changed.]
[If you were to swing this thing in a downtown area]
[For some reason, I feel that the UP can rule the world now.]
[Isnt this length a little too much?!]
[Who said it was a womens product just now?]
[Isnt this an additional livestream? Is there a need to reveal such a mindblowing product?]
[Where do you live, host? Dont get me wrong, Im just thinking of dropping a nuke on you.]
[The livestreams style has changed. The livestreams are becoming increasingly frightening now]
I
Chen Yu was at a loss for words as he looked at the 40-meter-long lightsaber.
Um In regards to this products performanceI can only say: as expected of a weapon from the future. As a comparison, the degree of shock I am feeling now is akin to the shock ancient people would feel when seeing our modern nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, this is also one of my goals for conducting these reviews: to broaden everyones horizons.
Now Raising the lightsaber, Chen Yu aimed it at the green mound before him and said, Lets test the limits of this lightsabers performance.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the massive beam of light promptly descended onto the small hill.
Whoosh!
The small hill instantly split into two!
A smooth crack that was one meter in diameter could be seen running down the center of the hill
[Nice!]
[Nice!]
[Nice!]
[Super nice!]
[Nice!]
[My pitiful worldview.]
[Mountain lovers strongly condemn this act.]
[Lumberjack: Can I exchange my axe for your lightsaber?]
[Mother Nature: ]
Slowly raising the 40-meter lightsaber, Chen Yu took in a deep breath and calmed his shocked heart.
There is still no resistance. So long as the lightsaber has sufficient energy, I can disintegrate even Mount Everest. This thing is truly frightening.
Raising the lightsaber up high to avoid hurting himself, Chen Yu turned around and looked at Little Peach, who had fallen into a slight daze. Bring the thing over.
Oh! Yes! Snapping out of her daze, Little Peach hurriedly ran out of the cameras view.
The energy consumption is significant. Now, only half of its energy remains. But no matter. It will be fully charged again if I leave it under the sun for half an hour, though this charging speed does feel a little wrong Straightening his mask, Chen Yu had the camera pull away from his location. Through the three tests weve conducted, we discovered that the High-frequency Lightsabers performance remains the same regardless of its size. However, I am always of the opinion that all technology can be used in more ways than intended.
Hence, when I received this lightsaber, I immediately got a smashing idea. Now that the livestream is coming to an end soon, lets give this idea a test.
After saying so, Chen Yu reached out and accepted the Spiral Ascending Aircraft Little Peach handed to him
Chapter 114 - Round and Round
Chapter 114 C Round and Round
After receiving the Spiral Ascending Aircraft, Chen Yu faced the camera and revealed an evil smile under his mask. He then wore the propeller on his head.
Move away from me. Stay at least 300 meters away.
You need to be careful! Little Peach said worriedly. How about I take your place?
If I let you do it, will I even have a chance of surviving?
Little Peach:
After shooing Little Peach away, Chen Yu fixed the aircrafts three clamps onto his body. He then tightened his grip on the lightsabers hilt before powering it up and adjusting the blades length and width to their maximum.
Buzz!
Along with a strange buzzing sound, the one-meter-wide and forty-meter-long white beam appeared on the livestreams 300,000 viewers monitors once more.
Looking at my getup, Im sure everyone can guess what Im going to do next. Pointing the 40-meter-long lightsaber forward, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, So, I wont dawdle any longer. Next, well witness the most correct way of using the High-frequency Lightsaber.
Take-off!
Du~ Du Du~ Du, du, du, du
As the propeller started spinning, the song Deja Vu[1] started playing in the background, igniting the atmosphere in the livestream rooms.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu also spun increasingly faster and flew increasingly higher along with this exciting rhythm.
The 40-meter lightsaber tightly held in his hands also rotated in sync with his body, creating a blurry white vortex that disintegrated the hill beside him layer after layer.
In front of the lightsaber, both mountains and forests vanished.
Amidst the clouds of smoke and dust, the white vortex looked especially dazzling.
[Too amazing!]
[696969.]
[Awesome!]
[This Crap.]
[??]
[???]
[Isnt this Blade Fury?][2]
[This is the bugged version of Blade Fury.]
[Host, youre awesome!]
[The unconventional ideas humans come up with]
[UP, you look so cool.]
[Demacia!][1]
[Time is money, my friend.]
[The magic of love goes round and round.][4]
[Thinking of you day and night elates me.]
[But Im afraid this love will last only a moment.]
[In the blink of an eye]
[Break!]
[Host, its time to stop]
Ten minutes later, the lightsaber vortex disappeared, and Chen Yus spinning boy slowly descended from the air, landing back on the ground.
A-Are you fine?
Little Peach hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chen Yu out of the three clamps.
Im Ugh After removing the propeller on his head, Chen Yu took in deep breaths repeatedly. Facing the camera, he raised the lightsabers hilt and said, Look at the stripe. The lightsabers energy has been completely depleted. Hence, that will be it for the High-frequency Lightsabers review.
In terms of performance, the lightsaber has thoroughly exceeded my expectations. This is especially true after the lightsabers blade has been adjusted to its maximum length and width. It has both lethality and range. From my knowledge, I find it difficult to imagine that there is any object capable of resisting this lightsabers assault.
In conclusion, this melee version of the 404 Heat Ray Gun is unstoppable in 2020. If paired with the Spiral Ascending Aircraft Believe me, youll be the most eye-catching person on the battlefield.
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at the ruined hill behind him. He then crossed his index fingers and said, That will be it for tonights additional livestream.
Before we end the stream, though, I have two announcements to make.
Firstly, my access level has been increased. Next months official livestream, I will introduce a much more excellent product than any you have seen before, so dont forget to wait in front of your screens ahead of time. If you miss the stream, you might very well miss witnessing a historical moment.
Secondly, for this month, I am confident I will conduct at least one more additional livestream. And during this livestream, I will be introducing a very, very interesting product. While this product isnt incredibly high-tech and cannot be considered superior compared to the products Ive reviewed before, I promise that you will be interested in it.
Alright, thats enough from me. Lastly, I wish to thank everyone for the attention and support you have shown. Only with your presence would my reviews hold any meaning.
Well, then.
Farewell!
After bidding goodbye to his audience, Chen Yu turned off his livestream without hesitation.
Simultaneously, as everyones screens turned black, a dense swarm of bullet comments also started flowing by
Beijing, the office of the special situation teams team leader:
The middle-aged team leader shut his eyes tiredly as he closed his laptops screen.
Tactfully, Xiao Li, who stood at a side, hurriedly stepped forward and helped massage the team leaders temples.
Ah
The middle-aged team leader sighed comfortably.
Leader, you look exhausted. You should rest earlier.
I just took some medication, so I cant fall asleep, the team leader said as he slowly shook his head. How is the progress of those two tunnel-digging fools?
Their progress is somewhat slow, Xiao Li answered. They are frequently coming into contact with the several surrounding squads. It seems they are planning some sort of action. However, they should dig into Chen Yus warehouse by tomorrow at the latest.
Be ready for it.
Yes. Ive already made the necessary arrangements.
How is the replacement of Sixth Highs teachers coming along?
Aside from the teachers Chen Yu frequently comes into contact with, weve already replaced one-third of the schools remaining teachers.
Thats enough. You can stop now. The middle-aged team leader nodded approvingly. We cant be too obvious. Also, make sure to occupy the surrounding area.
Please rest assured. Weve already replaced many people residing in the three nearby residential districts and one commercial district. As for the remaining residents, we have put them under surveillance. We have even apprehended three wanted internet criminals.
Your work lets me rest easy. By the way, what do you think of Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream today?
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Li answered, I dont have any opinions. I only know that some people will once more state that Chen Yu will become increasingly dangerous if we do not apprehend him now.
Those people arent exactly wrong either. Chen Yu himself has already stated that his access level has been increased and that he will reveal even more advanced technology starting next month. He will indeed become increasingly dangerous if that is true, even though he is already plenty dangerous.
Opening his eyes, the middle-aged team leader picked up a burning cigarette on the table and placed it into his mouth. After taking a puff, he continued, Everyone is worried, panicked even. Its just that some people are more courageous and dare to cut off all means of retreat. We, on the other hand, are cowardly. We are worried about too many things and dare not take risks.
However, we have already analyzed Chen Yus psychological portrait many times. He shouldnt engage in malicious sabotage and-
That is only a possibility, the middle-aged man said, cutting off Xiao Lis words. Exhaling a mouthful of smoke, he continued, Just the act of letting an individual get their hands on so many frightening technologies already poses a significant danger. Moreover, he is only a high school student. He also has a somewhat reckless behavior. Even if he is subjectively innocent, he might bring about a major disaster due to operational errors.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li went silent for a moment before saying, Leader, Im sure the higher-ups wouldve considered this.
In reality, if not for that letter Chen Yu left for us, the higher-ups wouldve long since allowed me to make contact with Chen Yu.
W-What was written in the letter?
The middle-aged team leader suddenly stopped smoking. Turning around, he stared at Xiao Li with a sharp gaze.
Startled, Xiao Li subconsciously stepped back.
For a moment, a depressive silence overwhelmed the office.
After a long time, the middle-aged man extinguished his cigarette and shut his eyes once more. How can you make such a low-level mistake.
Leader
Dont make me misunderstand.
Yes
Chapter 115 - Unachievable Dream
Chapter 115 C Unachievable Dream
Night, Chen Yu entered a dream.
In his dream, Chen Yu returned to ancient times and played a person named Husky.
Born into the royal family as a divine entity, he could speak and learn things quickly at a young age. When he grew up, he remained sincere, hardworking, mature, and intelligent.
When Husky came into being, the Liu Dynasty was already in decline. The emperor focused only on his own entertainment and the princes trampling on the common people. There was also the evil and violent Cao Cao, who nobody could defeat. Hence, Husky first learned military knowledge and practiced martial arts to curb these royals. Only then did these royals started behaving.
With the emperor and princes under his command, Husky cultivated the kingdoms morality, rejuvenated the army, governed the crops, helped the people, and safeguarded the kingdoms borders. Eventually, Husky even successfully hunted and killed the evil Cao Cao. With Huskys achievements, none of the princes dared compete against him for the throne. Hence, Husky became the next emperor and led the Liu Dynasty.
A celebration ensued, and the princes worshipped Husky. Liu Xuande presented husky with a child named Little Peach.
Husky grew joyful, touched the baby, and died[1]
Abruptly waking up from his nightmare, Chen Yu turned his head and looked at Little Peach, who was seated before the study table and quietly typing away at her laptop.
Mr. Chen, you woke up?
Mhm Chen Yu grunted as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
It seems you had a nightmare? Your whole body is sweating, Little Peach asked as she stood up from her seat and brought a towel over to Chen Yu.
Mhm. I had a nightmare.
Was I in there? Little Peach asked shyly.
Yes.
Did I protect you in the nightmare?
You were the cause of my death.
Little Peach:
I feel like this is a sign telling me that youll kill me sooner or later.
Little Peach:
Sitting up, Chen Yu stared at the husky lying on the floor. After careful consideration, he said, This dream is strange. Both you and the husky were in it. You two might be plotting together to harm me.
Little Peach:
That cheongsam yesterday caused my little sister to misunderstand me. Who knows what you two are going to do today? In the next moment, Chen Yu picked up the husky from his bed and threw it onto the ground. Screw off. Who let you onto my bed? You even dared to lie on my body?
After doing a roll on the ground, the husky got up and looked at Chen Yu with squinted eyes.
What? Ill have you castrated if you keep on staring.
Getting out of bed, Chen Yu changed into a new set of clothes and fell into thought. A moment later, he said, Todays Wednesday. Both elementary and middle schools will have the afternoon session off, so you two shouldnt stay in the room during the day. Go stay in the warehouse and return at 7 PM. I should be back from school by then.
Okay.
Little Peach naturally did not have any opinions about this arrangement. Just thinking about her masters three little sisters calling for the dog outside the door annoyed her already. It would be much better if she could write codes in the quiet warehouse.
Thats settled, then. The warehouse is quite close, so the energy consumption is meager as well.
After saying so, Chen Yu selected the warehouses saved coordinates and established the spatial link. He then opened the door and pointed at the warehouse, saying, Go on. Remember to come back together with the dog at 7 PM.
Holding onto her laptop with her left hand and carrying the husky in her right hand, Little Peach quickly walked into the warehouse. She then turned around and hesitated slightly before speaking, Mr. Chen, according to the internet, it is told that dreams are normally the opposite of reality. How could I possibly hurt you?
Have you forgotten how you broke my arm?
Have you forgotten how many slaps youve given me?
These are only the physiological injuries. Youve also given me plenty of psychological injuries.
Im only a romance robot, Little Peach mumbled with her head lowered. A-Also, arent there supposed to be both bitter and sweet times in romance?
Goodbye.
Bang.
Shutting the door, Chen Yu could not help but sigh.
After having this conversation, he felt that he should find some time to provide Little Peach with some guidance. He could not continue letting her grow up unscrupulously.
Walking out of his bedroom, Chen Yu washed himself up and had breakfast.
After sending off his three little sisters to their respective schools, he arrived at Sixth High, entered Class 2-2s classroom, and sat down on his seat.
Brother Chen, morning.
Yo! Bald Li, long time no see, Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise. Where have you been all this time?
With a sad expression, Li Liang said, Ive always been in the class! Did you forget about me after giving my seat to Xing Biqi? How heartless of you! Have you forgotten about our friendship?
Oh. Feeling embarrassed, Chen Yu asked, W-Where are you sitting at now?
The balcony.
The teacher didnt get you a new seat?
No.
OK. Nodding, Chen Yu said, The balcony has a nice view.
Yeah, the wind is pleasant, Li Liang said with a deadpan face. Also, the students nearby all say that Im seated too high and that they can see my greasy bald head as soon as they look up. Is my head really that oily?
Dont know. I cant see it clearly because of the reflection.
Li Liang:
Alright, I still need to study. Why did you come looking for me?
Brother Chen, you can see that youve caused me so much arm. If I ask to borrow some money from you, you wont possibly heartlessly refuse me, right?
Upon hearing these words, Chen Yu frowned and said, What are you thinking? If you want to borrow money, just say so. Whats up with all the foreshadowing? Do I look like a person that ignores friendship?
Hehe. Li Liang immediately smiled at Chen Yus words. I knew you were a good brother! In that case, I wont beat around the bush with you. Lend me 500 yuan, and Ill pay you back next week.
Five hundred?
Leaning back against his chair, Chen Yu revealed an affronted expression as he said, Just 500? From now on, if youre trying to borrow anything less than 10,000, dont look for me. Are you looking down on me? You have the gall to ask me for just 500 yuan?
Then, Ill borrow 10,000.
I dont have it.
Its no use even if you look at me like that. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, You should know my household conditions. Where will I find 10,000 yuan to loan you?
Ill borrow 1,000, then.
Ill look down on you if its lower than 10,000.
Ill borrow 10,000.
Dont have it.
At the same time, in the underground area of Jinzhou Citys suburbs
Two guys, one black and one white, were still earnestly digging a hole through the ground.
Leader, judging by our current angle, we should be reaching our target soon, right? the black man asked as he put down his pickaxe and pulled out a small measuring instrument from his pocket. It seems were just two or three meters away.
Stop talking, more digging! Or are you out of strength? Finding excuses to laze off?
Leader, were just two or three meters away. Should we use a big guy?
No. Itll cause too big of a commotion. Well continue digging gradually, the white man said as he wiped off the mud and sweat stuck on his face. After straightening his protective goggles, he continued, The closer we are, the more important it is for us to maintain a stable mentality. Dig quickly.
OK.
After giving his stiff arms a massage, the black man picked up his special pickaxe and continued digging.
Clang.
Clang.
Clang
As more time passed by, the angle at which the duo dug also grew increasingly steeper.
Three hours later, the duo finally uncovered a layer of red bricks.
Were there! Leader! We reached the foundation!
Mhm. Be more careful and slowly dig through the foundation. Otherwise, the sound will spread to the surrounding warehouses.
Understood.
With their goal right before their eyes, the black mans irritation promptly transformed into joy and excitement.
If they dont triple my bonus for this mission, Im resigning.
Triple? The white team leader chuckled at the black mans words. Stretching out his fingers, he gestured the number 8 and said, Do you know the higher-ups are giving us at least this much?
Eight hundred grand?
Eight hundred grand! We also dont have to pay taxes for it! The internal department will handle it!
Damn! Making a fist bump, the black man said, Lets stop talking, leader! Dig quickly!
After saying so, the black man tossed away his pickaxe and took out a glove-like tool from his pocket. He then balled up his fists and used the gloves sharp edges to chip away at the brick foundation. Even when slag fell into his mouth, he paid it no mind whatsoever. He was all hung ho.
Clang.
Clang.
Clang
Another hour passed.
After the duo dug through the brick foundation and came upon a cement layer, they looked at each other with excited eyes.
We finally dug through!
YES!
Clap!
The two special agents exchanged a loud clap with each other. They then took out their respective hammers and started hammering at the cement layer above them in turns.
Thud!
The black man: Eight hundred!
Thud!
The white man: Eight hundred!
Thud!
The black man: Eight hundred!
Boom
The cement layer shattered.
Chapter 116 - Why is There an Egg Here?
Chapter 116 C Why is There an Egg Here?
Boom!
Upon hearing the explosion, both the white man and the black man hurriedly covered their heads and waited for the crushed cement to fall.
Cough. Cough, cough
Without even waiting for the dust to settle or bothering to further widen the hole, the black man hurriedly climbed up and poked his head through the hole.
However, a second later, the black man promptly retracted his head back into the tunnel.
Whats wrong? The white team leaders complexion turned severe. Is there someone up there?
Noones there.
Then, why did you come back?
Theres a dog
Dog? Theres a dog? The white man was shocked. How could there be a dog.
Yeah! How could there be a dog?
Im asking you that!
M-Maybe I missaw. There was a lot of dust, the black man said as he scratched his shiny head.
Go take another look once the dust has settled, the white man said uncertainly. There shouldnt be anybody up there.
Its a dog.
There shouldnt be a dog either! the white man bellowed.
I-Ill go take a look
After saying so, the black man rubbed his eyes and poked his head through the hole once more. He also made sure to pay extra care in observing the location he previously saw the dog at.
Meanwhile, standing opposite the black mans head, the husky was also carefully observing the human before it
One man and one dog stared at each other, both their eyes blinking in sync.
The black man:
The husky:
Silence momentarily filled the area
Crap! A dog! It really is a dog!
After snapping out of his daze, the black man shouted in surprise. Just as he was about to retract his head, his throat had unfortunately gotten caught in a crack.
The black man:
The husky: Woof!
Before the black man could adequately respond to his predicament, the husky excitedly pointed on him! First, it pawed the black mans face, gifting him two bloody scratch marks. It then started slobbering the black mans head, making sure to cover every corner of this shiny tea egg with its saliva to express its friendliness.
Scram! Cough, cough Blergh Dammit! Scram! Dammit
The black man wanted to puke out of disgust after getting covered in dog saliva. Immediately, he started struggling with great fervor.
However, not only did his pinched throat prevent him from going down, but it also prevented him from climbing out of the hole as well. To make matters worse, both his arms were bound by the brick foundations cramped hole, which prevented him from fully exercising his strength. In a fit of rage, the black man started spitting saliva at the husky.
Scram! Ptui! Ptui, ptui! Damned beast!
Woof.
The husky agilely dodged the spittle the black man sent at it. Thinking that the black man was playing with it, the husky grew even more excited. It immediately copied the black man and started spitting spittle as well, Ptui, ptui, ptui! Ptui, ptui, ptui, ptui, ptui
The black man:
Ptui, ptui, ptui!
The black man:
Ptui, ptui, ptui!
The black man: Dammit! Ptui! Ptui! Ptui!
Ptui, ptui, ptui!
Blergh It got into my mouth! Beast! Ptui! L-Leader, help me smash the floor thats caught onto my throat!
Ptui, ptui, ptui!
Scram! Ptui! Leader! W-Where are you? Leader?
Ptui, ptui, ptui!
Ptui! Blergh Leader?! Dammit! You freaking ran away?!
Ptui, ptui, ptui!
Ahhhh!! Im going to kill you! You damned beast! Stop spitting!
Ptui, ptui, ptui
The husky jumped and spat happily, perfectly dodging the other partys attacks while accurately landing its spittle on the tea egg.
The black man:
Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, the black man took a deep breath. He then shut his eyes and mouth, silently enduring the huskys assault.
He had already seen through the husky.
This dog was basically a dumb fool!
The more he spat at it, the merrier it would get.
Ptui, ptui
Ptui
Sure enough, after three minutes of inaction from the black man, the husky stopped launching its spittle, and suspiciously observed the black man.
Once more, man and dog stared at each other, both sides initiating an intellectual conversation.
Scram!
Woof!
Leader? You son of a gun seriously ran away? You left me here?!
Woof!
Dammit! Dammit, dammit
The black mans rage flew through the roof. Unfortunately, he could only continuously curse out loud to vent his anger.
However, while cursing, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
In the next moment, the husky actually walked up to his head and raised one of its hind legs
The black man: ???
Hey! What the heck are you
Pitter-patter.
Before the black man could finish his words, a warm liquid splashed onto his head.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
The black man:
After the first torrent, a second, third, and fourth torrent followed
Hu Hu Hu
The black man took in deep breaths as he tried his best to suppress the urge to bite his tongue and end his misery.
A minute later, the husky was done urinating. It even shook its rear to shake off the last few remaining drops.
I! Will! Kill! You!
Woof?
Come over here! Thet black man widened his mouth and revealed his two rows of white teeth. He intended to bite the husky to death once the dog approached him.
The husky grew frightened as it sensed the hostility coming from the head before it. Circling around to the back of the black mans head, the husky squinted its eyes.
You What are you trying to do? Scram!
The black man got goosebumps as his instincts told him that something was amiss.
In the next moment, a pair of canine paws settled on his head.
Afterward
The husky started excitedly shaking its hips against the black mans head
The black man:
The husky: Awoo
The black man: Ahhh!!!
Inside the underground tunnel
Hearing the agonizing cries coming from behind him, the white team leader shuddered and sped up his running.
A dog had suddenly appeared inside the supposedly empty warehouse. To secret agents like them, unexpected situations like this represented danger.
Moreover, this proved that Transdimensional Reviews mysterious UP was still making use of that warehouse!
Hence, he had retreated without hesitation.
Looking at it now, he felt that his decision was undoubtedly correct.
Hu
After reaching the tunnels end, the white team leader bent down and started climbing up the slope. The faster his actions were, the sooner he could escape from this place.
As for his black companion
Brother, Ill make sure you receive your due remuneration! I also promise to take care of your wife and daughter!
After mumbling to himself, the white team leader accelerated his climb once more.
Less than half a minute later, he started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
That light was like the entrance to heaven that greeted him towards a new life
I-Im out, ha Haha- Uh?
When he crawled out of the tunnel with squinted eyes, before he could adapt to the change in brightness, he faintly saw rows of gun muzzles before him.
Meanwhile, situated behind the muzzles were armored vehicles armed with machine guns.
Above the armored vehicles also hovered several unmanned drones with weapons
Also, there were a countless number of heavily armed policemen surrounding him and observing him.
The white man:
The policemen:
Stiffly raising his hands and crossing his legs, the white man said, How are you?
Welcome to Jinzhou.
After a friendly greeting, a group of burly men dashed forward and cleanly pinned the white team leader on the ground
At the same time
After Little Peach, who had been working in Chen Yus bedroom, completed an online transaction with one of her customers, she picked up her laptop and teleported to the suburban warehouse.
Pikachu, where did you run off to?
Thud.
Suddenly, Little Peach felt her feet coming into contact with something. Hurriedly, she lowered her head to take a look.
Huh? Why is there an egg here?
The black man:
Chapter 117 - Reviewing Xiaomi’s Smartphone (1)
Chapter 117 C Reviewing Xiaomis Smartphone (1)
Beijing, inside an unlisted courtyard
The middle-aged team leader, who was remotely commanding the operation to capture the foreign agents, looked at the arrested white man displayed on the screen. Picking up his headset, he asked, Does he have anything from the warehouse on him?
No. The items he has on him are just a bunch of special mining tools.
What about the black man? Why did you capture only one person? There should be another.
Team Leader, we only found one person. The other person should still be inside the tunnel, but the police officer on the screen trailed off his words and stopped talking.
But what?
When the white man was crawling out of the tunnel, we heard his companions screams.
Screams? The middle-aged man subconsciously clenched his headset, goosebumps rising all over his body.
Yes. Nodding, the police officer sent a glance at the nearby hole and asked in a solemn voice, Team Leader, should we head inside?
You cannot go in! the middle-aged man hurriedly said. Nobody is allowed to enter! Retreat! Only leave behind the necessary manpower to keep watch over the hole. Well make further plans once were done with the interrogation.
Yes, sir. The police officer immediately breathed out a sigh of relief upon hearing the middle-aged team leaders words.
After the call got disconnected, Xiao Li hurriedly handed over a thick folder to the middle-aged team leader.
Leader, we just received the targeted warehouses thermal photographs!
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged team leader immediately accepted the folder and opened it. He then pulled out the photographs inside the folder and carefully observed them one after another.
A dog? Where did the dog come from?
W-We dont know, but it is indeed a dog according to the image analysis. Stretching out his hand, Xiao Li pointed at another red blob in the photo and said, This is the black agents head. He seems to be stuck in a hole in the ground.
After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged team leader flipped through a few more photos before he asked, Are these two the only ones in the warehouse?
No. Xiao Li shook his head. A hint of panic surfacing on his face, he continued, According to the technical departments analysis of the thermal photos, there should still be one more person in the warehouse. H-However, that person cannot be detected by thermal, radiographic, and electronic scans.
Feeling a chill crawl down his spine, the middle-aged team leader asked, H-How is that possible?
If not for the abnormal heat distribution in the thermal photos, we wouldnt have discovered this person at all With a trembling voice, Xiao Li said, Like a ghost
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, the ghost in question, Little Peach, was currently squatting on the ground and staring at the black foreign agents head with curious eyes.
The special situation team was unable to catch her on their thermal cameras because she was a robot. With her skin simulation system, she could alter her skin temperature to match her surrounding temperature. Unless necessary, she would not actively raise her outer temperature.
As for the reason why X-rays and electronic scans did not work on her, it was because her skin simulation system also had a mirror function that prevented electromagnetic radiation or electronic pulses from damaging her internal components.
Hence, it was impossible to detect her form through a thick wall using ordinary means and technology through a thick wall.
You Who are you?! the black man nervously asked as he stared at Little Peach.
And who are you? Little Peach asked back.
Y-You first.
Frowning, Little Peach picked up a small iron rod from the ground and poked it at the black mans head. Are you human? Why did you leave your head here?
Y-Y-Youre not human? The black mans expression turned horrified.
Youre the one that doesnt look human, Little Peach said as she inserted the iron rod into the black mans ear. Is this a real ear?
D-Dont put it in!
Im just rubbing it at the entrance. I wont hurt you.
Dont! Ouch! Oh my god! It hurts, it hurts!
Wow! Its bleeding! Little Peach was surprised. Its a real ear!
Ah! Gritting his teeth in pain, the black man cursed, You bastard! Let me go!
Wait a moment.
Standing up, Little Peach pushed open the Interstellar Portal and retrieved a small hammer from Chen Yus bedroom. She then returned and squatted before the black man.
W-What are you trying to do?! the black man asked in fright.
I want to see if your teeth are real. After saying so, Little Peach knocked one of the black mans front teeth with the hammer.
Ding!
Under the shock of intense ultrasonic waves, the struck tooth suddenly fell off. Immediately, the black man screamed in pain, Ah!!
Its real! Little Peach widened her eyes in disbelief. Youre a real human? How can you stay alive with just a head?
Gulp.
Swallowing the blood that flowed out of his gums, the black man glared at Little Peach and said, My body is stuck underneath! Im not just a head! Who are you?! If you want to kill me, just do it!
I cant kill people.
T-Then, let me go!
You must first tell me who you are.
I Im a water pipe worker, yes! Im an underground water pipe worker! Hurriedly hiding the killing intent in his eyes, the black man clumsily explained in Chinese, I was repairing a pipe and accidentally dug in the wrong location. I apologize. Please let me go.
Oh? In a suspicious tone, Little Peach asked, Really?
Really! While racking his brain for ideas, the black man repeatedly nodded and said, I-Initially, I already felt that something was wrong when I saw the cement layer. After digging a hole and poking my head through it, I found that I had indeed dug in the wrong location. Im sorry. Ill compensate you for the damage.
Hand over the money, Little Peach said as she stretched out her delicate hand.
The black man was momentarily stunned by Little Peachs actions. In the next moment, however, he grew overjoyed as he said, I have money! Its in my pocket! Ill fully compensate you for the damages once you help me back into the tunnel!
Really? Little Peachs eyes glowed in joy.
Really! I promise! I swear!
Okay!
Nodding excitedly, Little Peach stood up, raised her left foot, and aimed it at the black mans head.
Uh? W-Wait! When I said help, I didnt-
Boom!
x_x
Youre in! Little Peach jumped up in joy when she saw the black mans head disappearing into the hold. Afterward, she laid down by the tunnels entrance and looked through it, shouting, Hello? Pay up!
Inside the tunnel:
What about the money?
Did you lie to me?!
I helped you! Why arent you paying up? Little Peach gradually grew annoyed. Hey! Did you run away?
You liar! Give me the money!!
Meanwhile, after falling down the tunnels slope, the black mans eyes rolled back into his head, and he laid motionless at the bottom of the tunnel
I knew it! You humans are so cunning!
Boom!
Little Peach stomped her feet with all her strength in dissatisfaction, the impact shattering the concrete floor.
Without compensation, how am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Chen?! Little Peach pouted. She then pushed the surrounding bricks and cement blocks into the hole.
Afterward, she pushed her heavy slumber pod over the hole, thoroughly stoppering it.
I definitely cannot let Mr. Chen find out about this. Otherwise, hell get angry and hurt his health.
So, I am not lying. Ensuring that no harm comes to my owners health is completely reasonable and legal behavior. I am perfectly abiding by the three laws of robots.
Yes, thats right
Inside the underground tunnel
The shaking and trembling from above caused the black man to awoke with a start. Opening his eyes in a daze, the black man clutched his aching head and looked around with a blank face.
Who am I?
Where is this?
What was I doing?
By the time Chen Yu returned home from school, it was already seven in the evening.
As soon as he entered the house, his three little sisters immediately rushed him.
Chen Yike: Youre too late!
Chen Erke: Dog!
Chen Sanke: Youre too late! Dog!
Scratching his forehead, Chen Yu muttered, Why do I feel like youre cursing at me?
Big Brother! Dog! Grabbing Chen Yus shirt, Chen Erke pulled him toward his bedroom while saying, The doggy will starve to death.
I know, I know. Ill open the door now. Stop pulling.
Pulling out his key, Chen Yu looked around and asked, Wheres mom?
Mommy went to attend some gathering. Shes not back yet. She told us to make dinner ourselves, Chen Yike said anxiously. We can use this chance to let Pikachu get some fresh air.
Creak
After unlocking and opening the door, Chen Yu walked into his room, grabbed the husky lying on the floor, and threw it to Chen Yike, saying, Take it. Dont disturb me.
Bang!
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly slammed the wooden door shut and locked it.
Mr. Chen, youre back! Hehehe. Canceling her invisibility, Little Peach put her arms behind her back and looked at Chen Yu with a bright smile.
Mhm. Were going to review Xiaomis smartphone tonight. Go get ready. Also, post a status update online in advance.
Understood! Hehe
Hm? Frowning, Chen Yu asked, Why are you laughing so awkwardly?
Im not!
Did you make trouble for me again?
Absolutely not! Patting her chest, Little Peach declared, Im just delighted! Today, I sold another piece of software and made over 100,000 for you!
Over 100,000? Chen Yu exclaimed. Beautiful!
Yes! Ill become more and more beautiful!
Chapter 118 - Reviewing Xiaomi’s Smartphone (2)
Chapter 118 C Reviewing Xiaomis Smartphone (2)
After dinner, Chen Yu sat on the living rooms sofa. As he watched his three little sisters playing around with the dog, he felt as if he was being left out.
In the past, whenever the Chen familys four young masters got together, he would always be the most favored person. Now, however, a dog had stolen his spotlight.
Hah Childhood friends can never best those that appear out of nowhere
Sighing, Chen Yu leaned back and plunged his body into the sofa. Raising his watch, he visited the Transdimensional Store.
He had yet to take a look at the latest updated products. He just so happened to be hosting a livestream later tonight, so he might as well check if he could get anything useful with his current points.
After reading through the list of products, Chen Yus complexion suddenly darkened.
I freaking knew it! Im definitely being monitored!
[5. Special Omega-3 Concentrated Lipids: Produced by the Aggressive Cat Pet Products Company in the year 2145. This product is administered orally into the pets body.

The oxygen consumption of brain cells will also be enhanced. As these improvements will place a burden on the pets ability to supply oxygen to its body, please avoid using this product on aging pets. The selling price is 13 points.]
Standing up, Chen Yu paced around the sofa twice in a fit of rage. He then pulled out his phone and quickly typed out a message.
However, before he could send his You there? message to the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff, the other party sent him a series of messages.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, please dont ask if Im here or not. I am always here. We are not monitoring you. It is normal for you to see the products you currently need in the Transdimensional Store because the watch terminal you are wearing has a built-in brainwave receiver.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: In other words, the Transdimensional Store will only recommend products that you have thought about in your mind. This is also the reason why the Transdimensional Store will sometimes recommend strange products to you. It is because the thoughts in your mind are strange!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Considering your understanding, I will give you a simpler example. For example, suppose you squat in the bathroom and run out of paper. In that case, the Transdimensional Store will likely recommend toilet paper as a product for you. This is because your mind is completely occupied with the thought of toilet paper at the moment. Mr. Chen, do you understand now?]
Chen Yu:
[Chen Yu: How did you know what I was going to say?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is because I live in a timeline ahead of yours. I know what you will say, so Ive chosen to explain it clearly to you in advance. Please stop asking if Im here or not.]
[Chen Yu: Understood. You really are an excellent salesperson with a friendly and dutiful attitude.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thank you. Mr. Chen, you are also an outstanding and considerate partner.]
Exiting WeChat and turning off his phone, Chen Yu stared at the four other useless products listed on his watch. After silently pondering for a moment, he returned to his room and purchased the Special Omega-3 Concentrated Lipids.
He felt that if he could raise the huskys intellect, he should have an easier time managing the dog
[17 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 0]
Dammit! Sure enough, they didnt leave even a single point for me
As the text line flashed by on his watch, a miniature wormhole promptly appeared in the middle of his room. A fist-sized white box then fell out of the wormhole.
Thud.
After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu promptly moved forward and picked up the box.
Upon removing the seal and opening the box, Chen Yu discovered that there was only a black oily substance wrapped in sugar paper inside the box. The pungent smell coming from the black substance made Chen Yu nauseous. What is this damned thing made of? It smells so bad.
Carrying the concentrated lipids into the living room, Chen Yu hooked his finger at the husky and said, You, come here.
The husky, who was currently laying in Chen Yikes arms, sent a lazy glance at Chen Yu before turning around and pressing its dog mouth against the girls chest. It then closed its eyes as it enjoyed the massage the three human females were giving it.
Crap. Why do I find you increasingly irritating to the eye?
Striding forward, Chen Yu grabbed the husky by its mouth and extended the concentrated lipids to the dog, saying, Eat.
Awoo
After giving the black substance a sniff, the husky promptly pursed its mouth.
Brother, what are you holding? It smells, Chen Erke said while covering her nose in disgust.
Jinkela, Chen Yu answered perfunctorily. Ignoring his three little sisters attempts to stop him, he pried open the huskys mouth and tossed the concentrated lipids into it.[1]
Awoo! Upon swallowing the oily lipids, the husky howled like a frightened pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Brother! What did you do? Doggies cant just eat anything! Chen Yike said as she stroked the dogs fur in distress.
Youre not allowed to bully it! Chen Erke spread out her arms and shielded the husky from Chen Yu. Go away!
Tilting her head, Chen Sanke sniffed at the surrounding air and asked, Big Brother, did you feed manure to Pikachu?
Chen Yu did not know how he should answer this question. After pondering for some time, he loudly clapped his hands.
Clap, clap, clap!
Its almost nine oclock. Time to sleep. All of you scram back to your beds. You still have school tomorrow. Give me the dog.
No! Chen Yike flatly refused.
Im not sleeping! I want to pet the dog! Chen Erke said as she reached out with both hands and fervently rubbed the huskys fur.
No can do. Pulling on Chen Yikes ponytail, Chen Yu said, Hurry up and go to sleep.
Brother! It hurts! Let me go! I wont sleep! Chen Yike struggled. You just want to secretly bully Pikachu!
If youre not obedient, I wont give you any more pocket money. Chen Yu used his trump card.
Chen Yike became stunned as she suddenly lost her power to resist.
I wont be buying dog food for you. If you dont have pocket money, lets see how the husky will starve to death.
Brother, do you only know how to manipulate me using money?
Just say whether you want your pocket money or not.
I want it.
Then go to sleep!
Okay.
Standing up, Chen Yike caressed the husky for one last time before reluctantly returning to her room.
Also, you, Second Eldest, stop touching the dog. Go wash your hands and sleep.
Ill touch it just one last time! Just one touch! Chen Erke said while pitifully looking at Chen Yu, her hands still caressing the husky non-stop.
No! Go wash your hands!
Chen Yu dragged Chen Erke to the bathroom without hesitation. After returning to the living room, he looked at Chen Sanke and said, You, what will you do?
After taking a glance at the husky, Chen Sanke looked up at Chen Yu and said, M-Mommy and daddy arent home. Im too scared to fall asleep. C-Can I sleep together with Big Brother?
You want to sleep with the dog, right?! Chen Yu immediately saw through Chen Sankes ploy.
Widening her eyes, Chen Sanke shifted her gaze between Chen Yu and the husky before nodding, Mhm!
Rejected. Sleep with your eldest sister.
Nn Suddenly, Chen Sanke lifted up her shirt and revealed her white and tender belly, saying, I can let Big Brother s-squeeze my tummy! Its fat and soft. Mommy and daddy like to squeeze it very much!
Chen Yu could not help but be taken aback by Chen Sankes proposal. For a moment, a struggling expression appeared on his face.
Pat, pat!
Patting her belly, Chen Sanke asked, Dont you want to pinch it?
Its soft and fat.
You can pinch it if we sleep together!
I Just as Chen Yu was about to lose his mind to temptation, he suddenly recalled that he had a livestream to host tonight. In the end, he could only reluctantly refuse, No! Go to sleep!
I failed Lowering her head in disappointment, Chen Sanke turned around and left.
Dammit. She already knows how to bewitch people at such a young age.
After dragging the howling husky back to his room, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and took a look at the time.
It was currently 8:43 PM.
There were only a little more than a dozen minutes left before his livestream began.
Little Peach, change your clothes. Were leaving.
Yes, sir!
Hopping off her chair, Little Peach took out the haori, cheongsam, masks, gloves, and other necessary tools.
After casually tossing the husky onto the floor, Chen Yu got dressed up together with Little Peach and approached the Interstellar Portal.
Mr. Chen, where will we be livestreaming today?
Lets not go to the wilds anymore. Toying around with the small box in his hand, Chen Yu put on his opera mask and said, Lets go to a place that matches the products brand.
Where?
Xiaomis Science and Technology Park
Chapter 119 - Reviewing Xiaomi’s Smartphone (3)
Chapter 119 C Reviewing Xiaomis Smartphone (3)
Nighttime, in the brightly lit Beijing City
A wooden door suddenly appeared out of thin air on the rooftop of Xiaomi Science and Technology Parks No. 5 Office Building.
Subsequently, a man and a woman walked out of this door. The duo was strangely dressed and wore masks to cover their faces.
These two people were none other than Chen Yu and Little Peach.
This place truly is one of mankinds largest cities
As Chen Yu gazed down condescendingly from the top of the building, the gleaming neon lights found all around the city seemingly tried to blind his country bumpkin eyes.
Turning to Little Peach, he pointed at his surroundings and asked, Little Peach, what do you think? This is the product of human creativity.
If its only to this extent, even I can do it.
Fine, fine, fine. You can do anything. Now, can you please change the portals appearance into a metal arch?
Sure.
Walking back to the portal, Little Peach changed the portals appearance into a five-meter-tall and three-meter-wide metal arch.
Mr. Chen, wont we get discovered by other people if we are so conspicuous?
Definitely, but it doesnt matter. Chen Yu shrugged. This livestream will be a very short one. Well leave as soon as were done with the review. If any abnormalities occur, well just turn off the livestream and leave.
Why not just head to a deserted location?
Reviewing a smartphone doesnt require much space, and it is more meaningful to livestream at the doorstep of the phones manufacturer. Moreover, Im prepared to add even more tricks to my future livestreams. I might even make some minor adjustments to my livestreaming method to raise the programs promotional effects. Otherwise, the audience will eventually get bored by the shows repetitiveness.
Oh, I see, Little Peach said as she put on an expression of realization. In reality, though, she did not understand a thing Chen Yu had said.
Following this, time passed by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the numbers displayed on Chen Yus watch jumped to 9:00.
Im starting the livestream. Little Peach, keep watch of our surroundings. If you find any drones secretly filming us, strike them down, Chen Yu said as he passed the High-frequency Lightsaber to Little Peach. Remember: You must only strike the drones! Dont bring down the building as well!
Please rest assured, Mr. Chen. I am both cautious and meticulous.
Chen Yu:
After silently pondering, Chen Yu snatched back the lightsaber and said, Forget it. Just obediently stand at the back. I dont need you to take action. Just tell me if someones secretly filming us.
Mr. Chen, youre not confident in my abilities?
Why did you add a question mark to that sentence?
Lets stop talking. Its 9:01 already. Stand behind me. Im starting the livestream now.

[UP, for you, I specifically took three connecting flights and flew to Sacramento, yet you]
Greetings, fellow friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. Thank you for camping before your screens and waiting for tonights livestream. Pointing at the sky, Chen Yu said, As you can see, the sky is dark. I am indeed still within the country. Moreover, I am in a place everyone is very familiar with, and that is Beijing.
After saying so, Chen Yu adjusted the camera and had it capture the night view of Beijing City. As for the reason why Ive chosen this place, it is because our product today originates from a company based in Beijing.
Meanwhile, my current location is none other than the rooftop of said companys main headquarters.
[What? Which awesome company managed to get themselves featured?]
[UP, arent you reviewing products from the future?]
[Are you finally selling out?]
[Maybe its a future product of this company.]
[Are you done talking?]
[Are you done talking? +1]
[Additional livestreams are boring! I want to watch an official livestream! I want to see mind-blowing technology!]
[Official livestreams are once a month. Wait patiently.]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu continued his opening remarks.
Todays review product is this thing in my hands. To enjoy it with everyone, similar to yesterdays product, I have yet to unbox this product.
And as a professional product reviewer that has always prioritized quality content, we naturally have to go straight into the topic. Now, lets begin the reviews first segmentCunboxing! Let us witness a products most glorious moment.
After saying so, Chen Yu removed the boxs seal without hesitation. Under the gazes of nearly 300,000 people, he removed the boxs lid and slowly pulled out a smartphone box from within.
Can you see it? This is our review product for today. Tossing away the delivery box, Chen Yu displayed the smartphone box before the camera. Thats right. As you can see, this is a mobile phone. To be precise, it is a smartphone that comes from three years later.
Meanwhile, this smartphones brand is
Letting his words trail off, Chen Yu slowly rotated the box forward, gradually revealing the tops logo.
At the same time
Below the rooftop where Chen Yu was hosting his livestream on, Lei Jun[1] and three of his senior executives were currently seated inside a meeting room and watching Transdimensional Reviews livestream through Bilibili.
As a member of the electronics industry, similar to Bilibilis CEO, Lei Jun was among one of the earliest groups of people to find out about Transdimensional Reviews peculiarities.
Whether it was for analysis purposes, broadening his horizons, uncovering new technology, or simply to satisfy his curiosity, he would not miss even a single episode of Transdimensional Reviews program.
In fact, when he found a particular future product he liked, he would even hold a small meeting with the technical department to discuss the products usability, researchability, technological principals, and market prospects.
For ordinary people, Chen Yus videos and livestreams only served as a form of entertainment.
However, for members of the technology industry, and even core academic circles, Chen Yus reviews dictated humanitys future technology, culture, and development!
This was a rare opportunity for the entire human race to peak on the progress of future civilization.
This was also one of the reasons why the various nations governments were still maintaining a cautious, balanced, and conservative attitude toward Transdimensional Review.
Which lucky company is it? To actually get selected by this UP, one of the middle-aged executives seated beside Lei Jun said, clicking his tongue. Their stock price is going to hit the fluctuation limit.
It might not necessarily be good luck, Lei Jun said, shaking his head. After taking a look at his watch, he then looked at his timetable and said, Theyll meet plenty of troubles as well.
Chief Lei, something feels wrong, the technical director seated at a corner of the room said, frowning. The scenery displayed behind the UP just now looks somewhat familiar.
Upon hearing the technical directors words, the other three people in the room became stunned. Subconsciously, they turned to look outside the window.
Immediately, the brightly lit night scene shown in Transdimensional Reviews livestream gradually overlapped with the scene before their eyes
I-It cant beright? Sweat instantly oozed out of the middle-aged executives forehead.
Lei Jun subconsciously narrowed his eyes and immediately focused on the projector screen.
For a moment, the spacious meeting room became so quiet that one could even hear a needle dropping.
Now, only the sounds of stifled breathing could be heard.
In the next moment, displayed on the screen, Transdimensional Reviews mysterious UP could be seen rotating the smartphone boxs top to the camera.
Meanwhile, the logo printed on the box also became visible for all to see.
MI
In the next moment, all four people in the room raised their heads and looked at the ceiling above them
Chapter 120 - Who Buys Xiaomi?
Chapter 120 C Who Buys Xiaomi?
Shuddering, the middle-aged executive stammered,
Chief Lei.
Right! C-Chief Lei! He He seems to be above us
In response to his three executives words, Lei Jun lowered his head and squinted his eyes, uncertainty appearing on his face.
Chief Lei, lets notify the government, the technical director said, unconsciously suppressing his tone. You are a director of Bilibili. Didnt the person in charge of that department leave you his contact method?
That wont be necessary. Picking up his vibrating phone, Lei Jun said, Theyre calling me already.
Hu
Taking in a deep breath, Lei Jun put on a stern look as he instructed, All of you, head on out. Notify my assistants next door and head downstairs to make the necessary preparations. Evacuate all staff members in the park. Aside from Building No. 5, cut off the water and power supply for the other buildings. Disperse the surrounding traffic as well. Evacuate all vehicles that can be driven away, especially the plaza area. It must be emptied out! Quick!
Yes, sir!
After seeing off his three colleagues, Lei Jun shut the meeting rooms doors and connected the call. Hello, its me, Lei Jun.
Chief Lei, I am the special situation teams leader, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the call. Have you been made aware of the situation?
Yes, I was just about to contact you on that. What do we need to do?
Evacuate all employees, cut off all water, power, and gas supplies, and clear out the surrounding roads.
We are currently doing all these things already.
Thank you very much for your cooperation, Chief Lei. Please wait for me at the parks southern entrance and pay attention to your safety. I will arrive in 15 minutes.
Very well.
Lastly, and this is important, make sure none of your employees approach Transdimensional Reviews UP. Keep them as far away as possible! Also, do not try to probe or film him. Avoid letting any emergency situations from occurring.
Okay.
After hanging up the phone, Lei Jun dashed out of the office and started evacuating downstairs with his slightly flustered employees.
Dont squeeze! Let our female colleagues go first!
While doing his best to keep his facial expressions under check, Lei Jun politely shouted, Dont take the elevator if there are too many people! Take the stairs if possible!
Chief Lei. A neatly dressed male assistant approached Lei Jun and reported, Weve made the announcement already.
While the other buildings still have their power, repeat the announcement a few more times. Afterward, send some people to check the restrooms of every floor. Not one person can be left behind.
Yes, sir.
Despite the chaos Xiaomis technology park had fallen into, Chen Yu, who stood atop Building No. 5, appeared unusually calm.
He had spent a full three minutes showcasing the smartphones packaging, afraid that his audience couldnt see it clearly. He had also paid extra care to showcase the boxs logo.
As this is an additional review, it is inconvenient for me to mention the products brand, but Im sure everyone can see it clearly, right? In the year 2020, Im sure there should be very few people within the country who do not know this brand.
Meanwhile, this smartphone model will be produced by this brand three years later, and its full name is calledthe Flexible Dual-Screen Foldable Smartphone. Now, lets begin unboxing it.
After saying so, Chen Yu tore open the transparent packaging film and removed the boxs lid. Mimicking the unboxing style used by other Bilibili UPs, he first displayed the instruction manual, earphones, earphone accessories, charging cable, and charger. Finally, he picked up the dual-screen smartphone sitting in the middle of the cardboard box.
Can everyone see it? There are 6.2-inch screens located on both the front and back of the phone. There is also a flexible screen serving as the joint. Combined with the joint screen, when fully expanded, the phone will have a massive 14-inch screen.
Now that I am holding the actual product, I can say with certainty that this smartphone is really thick.
[Crap! Its actually Xiaomi?!]
[See? My guess before was correct, yet nobody believed me.]
[Its set in stone! Xiaomi definitely has some kind of relationship with the UP! Arrest him quickly!]
[Theres going to be such a fantastic smartphone three years later?]
[How much did Xiaomi pay you? Orange will pay double.]
[XO will pay fourfold!]
[Whisper will pay eightfold!]
[Huawei: sixteenfold.]
[Im an employee of Xiaomis park. Management is currently having us evacuate. Many colleagues that dont know of Transdimensional Review are thinking that we have a fire drill, lolol.]
[Im here as well. I heard that the UP is in Building No. 5. I really want to go see him.]
[I wish you two heroes good luck.]
[After posting these bullet comments, youll be receiving an invitation from the government for tea.]
[Good luck.]
[Good luck. +1]
In front of his 300,000 viewers, Chen Yu removed the circular plastic film that wound around the phone and carefully unfolded it.
Click.
With a crisp sound, the smartphone immediately extended into a tablet.
The flexible screen in the middle felt elastic to the touch, and it seamlessly connected the two main screens. No cracks or bumps could be felt across the joint. The 14-inch screen looked no different than a mirror.
This isquite stunning.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu played around with the phone for half a minute. This should be a concept phone produced in a laboratory. It is definitely impossible for the civilian industry to have developed to a point where it can mass-produce smartphones of this caliber.
Chen Yu pressed down on the power button located on the right side of the screen after saying so.
I suddenly discovered an ergonomic design flaw. While in tablet mode, the power and sound buttons are located on the right. When folded into a mobile phone form, the buttons will move to the left. Operating these buttons wouldnt be an enjoyable experience. Thats the case for me, at least.
While Chen Yu briefly introduced the phone, the black mirror-like screen suddenly lit up. After an orange logo momentarily appeared on the screen, the activation interface appeared.
According to the phone specifications stated on the instructions, this phone is running on a Snapdragon 875+ processor, a 20+1T memory combination, a built-in TVOC gas sensor, and 6,200 mAh nano-silicon battery. I heard that this type of battery is already being used on a small scale. The camera is a 48MP under-screen camera, and it is definitely capable of capturing every pore on your face. Lastly, the screens resolution Sorry, I forgot what it was.
Im not going to flip through the instructions again either, as Im sure this isnt what everyone wants to know. Time is of the essence. Lets head straight to the next agendaactual operation!
After quickly completing the phones start-up process, he merged the two screens with a pop.
The application icons that were initially evenly spread across the 14-inch screen promptly split between the front and rear screens. Simultaneously, touch screen buttons for locking, shutting down, and adjusting the volume of the phone appeared on the joint screen.
When Chen Yu tentatively swiped his finger across the front screen, he found that the rear screen was linked and reacting along.
Mhm Looking at it now, this phone is indeed remarkable. There is no distinction between the front and rear screens. Both screens can be considered the front screen, and both can be regarded as the rear screen. It is entirely dependent on which side is facing up when you pick up the phone! There will no longer be a concept of front and rear.
I also have to retract my ergonomic design flaw comment. I noticed that the joint screen also has a series of virtual buttons meant to substitute their physical counterparts. With this, regardless of whether you are using this device in mobile phone mode or tablet mode, there will always be power and volume buttons on the right side. I give this design a perfect score.
[How cool]
[Are you sure this is a smartphone from three years into the future?]
[Are times developing so quickly?]
[My Mi 2 can still fight for another three years!]
[Victory for the Waiting Tribe!]
[If this phone doesnt exist three years later, I want your head.]
[Amazing! I want to buy it!]
[Xiaomi already has a similar model called MIX Alpha. All you need is 19,999 yuan.]
[Who buys Xiaomi?]
[Who buys Xiaomi?!]
[Im not buying, so put down your gun]
[An epoch-making product! I wont have to worry about small texts when reading adult comics anymore!]
At the same time, inside a police command vehicle located on the Xiaomi Science and Technology Parks southern gate
Lei Jun was currently sitting opposite of the middle-aged team leader and looking at the screen set up inside the vehicle.
When Lei Jun gazed upon the technological marvel in Chen Yus hands, he fell into deep thought as he muttered, So, thats how it should be made
Chapter 121 - Cause, or Effect
Chapter 121 C Cause, or Effect
Chief Lei.
Inside the police command vehicle, the middle-aged team leader sat opposite of Lei Jun. Opening up a faxed document from the patent department, he silently pondered a moment before asking, In 2018, you registered a patent for this phone model, correct?
Yes. After regaining his senses, Lei Jun said thoughtfully, In fact, weve registered related patents as early as 2017. The MIX Alpha model has adopted a part of this batch of patents. It seems the model Transdimensional Reviews UP is holding focuses more around the surround display technology. This is a patent we registered last year.
Does your company have any plans to manufacture this flexible folding phone?
We did. Ive previously discussed it with several technicians in the technical department. We even held a meeting for it during the first half of this year. Ive also asked my secretary to bring the minutes of that meeting.
Is it convenient for me to look at it? Although the middle-aged team leader worded his sentence as a question, he had already stretched out his hand before even receiving an answer.
Of course.
Quickly, Lei Jun stepped out of the command vehicle and received a document envelope from the male secretary standing outside the car. He then passed the folder to the middle-aged team leader.
Thank you.
Opening the envelope, the middle-aged team leader promptly pulled out the documents and started carefully reading through them.
Meanwhile, Lei Jun returned his gaze toward the screen displaying Chen Yus livestream. However, despite his eyes focused on the screen, his brain processed none of the information his eyes saw as it was already overloaded with other thoughts.
Roughly 10 minutes later, the middle-aged team leader returned the documents into the envelope and asked, Do you still have copies of these documents?
Yes.
In that case, Ill be taking this set.
No problem.
Hmm. After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged team leader said, Looking at your meeting content, the discussed phones appearance looks quite different compared to Transdimensional Reviews phone.
Thats right. Lei Jun nodded. For flagship or concept products, we generally have to go through extensive research, experimentation, and engineering to determine the final version. According to our original plans, the final version of this phone model should only come out five years later. We still need to undergo many testing sessions.
What about now? The middle-aged team leaders gaze suddenly sharpened.
Lei Jun raised three fingers after pondering for a long time and said, Three years.
Will it be exactly the same?
It can only be exactly the same. If we make any alterations, the production date will have to be delayed.
In other words
Nodding, Lei Jun said, In other words, without Transdimensional Review, this phone may not appear until a later date. The project might even get called off due to budgeting and technical difficulties. However, after watching this livestream, if we mimicked the showcased phones design completely, we can create an exact replica within three years. Other major phone manufacturers should also have the same standards after watching this livestream.
Upon hearing these words, the middle-aged team leader tightened his grip around the document envelope.
Was it because of this smartphone review that led to Xiaomi Corporation manufacturing the phone in the future?
Or was it because of Xiaomi manufacturing this phone in the future that led to this smartphone review today?
Cause and effect. Which came first? And which came after?
Or maybe cause and effect are mutually affecting each other?
For a time, similar to Lei Jun, a chaotic storm started raging in the middle-aged team leaders mind.
After a long time had passed, Lei Jun tentatively asked, Do you want to cancel this project?
If it is canceled, wont the cycle of time be broken? the team leader asked.
It might not be broken. Lowering his head, Lei Jun said, Three years later, this flexible smartphone will definitely appear. You should know of the grandfather paradox.
This is no longer something we can discuss. It also isnt something we can decide upon. Lets leave it to the ones above to ruminate over it. However, I feel that the higher-ups will definitely ask you to manufacture the smartphone. You wont be allowed to cancel the project even if you wanted to, the middle-aged team leader said as he massaged his swollen temples. Afterward, he stood up and stretched out his hand, Thank you very much for your cooperation, Chief Lei. I will have to trouble you again afterward.
Sensibly standing up as well, Lei Jun reached out to grab the other partys calloused hand. This is what I should do. If there is nothing else for the time being, I have to deal with the companys problems.
Go on. Pay attention to the emotions of your employees. Make sure chaos doesnt occur.
Okay.
After seeing off Lei Jun, the middle-aged team leader looked down at the document envelope in his hands before shifting his gaze toward the screen.
A moment later, he pulled out his phone and said, Stay concealed and start taking probing actions.
And with that ends the performance testing segment. The screens resolution is genuinely high. Moreover, I found a particularly interesting bug. When playing Honor of Kings, I entered the game in mobile mode and expanded the screen into tablet mode during the game. As a result, my field of vision doubled! I had a panoramic view of half the battlefield and basically no need for a minimap.
I feel that I can continue exploiting this bug for another three years. Once this phone is released three years later, though, Honor of Kings should have a fix for it already.
Click!
Folding the two screens back again, Chen Yu waved the phone in front of the camera. He then continued, Truthfully, out of the many products Ive reviewed, this smartphone feels the most realistic to me as it is only three years apart from our current year. The technological standards of this phone are still within our cognitive level.
However, even so, it is still plenty surprising. This smartphone allows us to feel how rapidly changing technology truly is. Thinking back to seven or eight years ago, the video calling feature was used to heavily advertise 3G. Nowadays, this feature has already become a part of our lives. Whats even more unbelievable is that the development of technology will only grow faster and faster from this point onward.
Locking the phone screen, Chen Yu crossed his fingers before the camera and concluded his review.
We are blessed to be living in modern times. However, compared to the future, we are still living in sorrowful times. We are even more sorrowful compared to people living in ancient times.
Meanwhile, this just so happens to be the charm of technology. It drives all humans to continuously push forward.
Okay, this is the end of todays livestream. While it is indeed very short, but it is also substantial.
[Is there a need to end it so quickly? At least fly a lap around the park for us!]
[Will there be another livestream tomorrow?]
[Its over? Im signing off.]
[You still havent finished reviewing the smartphone! Are you that eager to leave with your female assistant?! Take some photos!]
[Right! Take some photos and let us experience the smartphone camera of the future.]
[Photograph the female assistant, specifically her legs.]
[Photograph her in the nude. After all, clothes are considered sexual, while nudity is considered art.]
[We love art.]
[Dont go! Im hurrying over to you in my car!]
[Bullshit! Im at the scene, and all surrounding roads have been blocked off.]
[UP mightve been born in the year of the rabbit.]
[Goodbye.]
Raising his wrist and glancing at the bullet comments displayed on his watch, Chen Yu helplessly shrugged and said, We should end things when its time. It is only a smartphone. There is not much to evaluate. What everyone really wants to see is the official livestream three weeks later, right?
Now that my access level has been raised, the fourth livestreams review product will be a real gem. I hope everyone can help spread the word offline.
Lastly, since everyone wishes to see this phones camera in action, as a kind-hearted UP, I naturally cannot leave you unsatisfied.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the phone and turned on the camera function.
Immediately, the bustling night view of Beijing City appeared on the smartphones screen.
As there were screens located both on the front and rear of the phone, the audience could also see the scenery taken by the camera through the rear screen.
Huh? Thats interesting, Chen Yu commented as he flipped the smartphone around. I discovered another small function of this smartphone. When youre taking a photo of someone, the other person can see whether the picture youve taken looks good or not as well.
Now, lets see if we can take a photo of the moon. This is a technology developed many years ago
After saying so, Chen Yu moved the phone upwards and aimed it at the moon hanging in the sky.
What? Paratroopers?!
Chapter 122 - Unyielding” Attitude
Chapter 122 C Unyielding Attitude
Crap? Paratroopers?!
While gazing at the many swaying figures in the night sky, Chen Yu subconsciously pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber and pressed down on the power button.
Buzz!
Along with a buzzing sound, a long and narrow beam of light immediately emerged. It looked particularly eye-catching when interlaced with the distant neon lights.
[Justice from heaven!]
[Hahaha! The tea delivery is here!]
[Host, run away quickly!]
[Cant you see that the host is prepared to fight?]
[Fight, fight, fight, fight]
[The livestream has encountered an accident.]
[Is that a helicopter?]
[There are so many troopers, but none of them seem to be carrying any weapons?]
[Paratrooper: UP, Im here to negotiate terms.]
Passing the foldable phone to Little Peach, Chen Yu straightened his mask and powered down the lightsaber he had subconsciously turned on out of fright before. He then faced the camera and said, Please dont make me nervous, thank you.
He knew that the paratroopers commander was watching his livestream and carefully paying attention to his reactions.
Meanwhile, his response was also very straightforwardNo strangers allowed!
Chen Yu knew fully aware that he was no match for the various governments in every aspect. If he gave them even the slightest of opportunities, they would undoubtedly eat him alive. Hence, as a weak high school student with little influence, his best solution was to become a man that nobody could get their hands on.
He would take the route of becoming a high IQ individual that controlled things from behind the scenes.
It wouldnt be too late for him to show off his strength when his strength was sufficiently strong.
Now, it would be best for him to keep himself hidden as much as possible and secretly watch as the world scrambled to obtain him
In the night sky
In just 10 seconds, the descending paratroopers immediately scattered.
The helicopter hovering at a high altitude also flew away from the scene rapidly.
Obviously, Chen Yus unyielding attitude had made the government officials give up on trying to communicate with him.
[My popcorn suddenly lost its taste.]
[Why are they so afraid?]
[There are bound to be idiots that arent afraid of the world falling into chaos.]
[I advise the people in the livestream rooms to not talk nonsense. Unlike the UP, you people need to take responsibility for your words.]
[I dont know anything. Im just a little white rabbit that accidentally barged into this place.]
As the evening wind blew at his face, Chen Yu slowly returned the lightsabers hilt into his pocket. After silently pondering for a moment, he faced the camera and said, Where did I leave off just now?
Forget it. It doesnt matter. Todays livestream officially ends here.
There might not be another additional livestream this month. Fellow friends, let us meet again during the official livestream. At that time, I will reveal a future product with much greater technological content than the Weather Control Module and Island-building Ship.
Well, then. Lets meet each other again three weeks later.
After Chen Yus closing remarks, bullet comments flooded the livestream rooms. However, as a famous UP, he decisively tapped his watch and closed off all livestream rooms.
Darkness, devoured everyones screens
Lowering his arms, Chen Yu slowly walked forward while enjoying the night breeze. When he arrived at the guardrail located at the edge of the building, he gazed down at the array of shining police lights, the flashing lights making him a little dizzy.
Little Peach, establish the spatial link. Were leaving.
Yes, sir.
Connect the portal to an open area first. Well connect back to home once we reach there. Otherwise, my room is going to collapse.
Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I wont leave any loose ends.
Forget it, step aside. Ill do it
Seated inside a command vehicle, the special situation teams middle-aged team leader observed Office Building No. 5s rooftop through binoculars. When he saw the two figures on the rooftop disappearing into the metal arch, he could not help but sigh.
The other partys refusal to negotiate would undoubtedly complicate the current situation.
As a veteran agent, he could already predict the upcoming changes in the internal departments attitude
Picking up his communication device, the middle-aged team leader shouted the words restore power into it. He then got out of the car and approached Office Building No. 5 under numerous policemens escort.
When Xiao Li, who was waiting inside the building, saw the middle-aged team leader, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, Leader, the experts from the search department have yet to arrive. Are we heading straight to the roof?
Have you called them yet? How long more till they arrive?
As weve blocked the roads here, theyre currently stuck in a traffic jam on their side.
Send a helicopter over.
Huh? Xiao Li was taken aback.
Send a helicopter! the middle-aged team leader repeated in a solemn tone as he continued walking. Pull them up with a robe. Have them come here quickly.
Ah! Okay!
When the imposing group arrived before the staircase leading to the rooftop, the middle-aged team leader stopped and said, Wait here. Nobody is allowed entry.
Less than 10 minutes later, five workers in protective suits came running toward the group while panting.
L-Leader, were here.
Mhm. Nodding, the middle-aged team leader accepted the gloves, mask, hat, shoe covers, and protective clothing the new arrivals handed him. After putting them on, he said, Lets go. Everyone else, wait here.
Hearing this, Xiao Li, who stood beside the middle-aged team leader, also hurriedly accepted the protective equipment offered to him. However, just as he was about to put them on, the team leader stopped him.
You wait here as well.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Li shuddered in shock. However, he quickly lowered his head and answered, Yes, sir.
Tightening his mask, the middle-aged team leader gave Xiao Li a deep look before following the search team to the roof.
Leader, here.
After the middle-aged team leader arrived at the roof, a search team member passed him the express delivery box and smartphone packaging.
Are these the only things left behind?
Correct.
Seal them.
Yes, sir.
Have you extracted the footprints?
Theyre extracted.
The middle-aged team leader nodded. He then pulled out a picture of a footprint, squatted down, and made a simple comparison with the prints Chen Yu left behind
The government agents work had just begun.
Just the task of inviting all employees, who were present within the technology park and also fans of Transdimensional Review, for a conversation was already a tedious task. Not to mention, there was also a need to control the flow of information, both online and offline, and hold numerous meetings.
While all this was ongoing, Chen Yu, the culprit for this mess, had returned to his bedroom, laid on his bed, and even rolled around comfortably as he got ready to sleep.
After removing his haori, mask, and gloves, he changed into his sleepwear, raised his wrist, and swiped his watch to inspect his income for todays livestream.
His livestream today lasted for just a little over half an hour. He gained 380,000 viewers from the five livestream rooms, and these viewers had netted him 12 points. While he didnt earn much, his earnings could still be considered pocket money.
Mr. Chen, take a look at Pikachu!
Suddenly, Little Peach called for him.
Turning around, Chen Yu quickly noticed the husky lying motionless on the floor.
Is it dead? Chen Yu was startled.
No. It seems to be asleep.
Whats so strange about it falling asleep?
It wont wake up! Little Peach said with a worried look.
Frowning, Chen Yu got out of bed and approached the husky. Touching its chest, he commented, Its heart is still beating. That thing I fed it must be taking effect.
What did you feed it?
Food that boosts IQ.
Does that mean it can talk in the future? Little Peach exclaimed.
Thatshouldnt be possible, I think?
Can I play landlord with it, then?
Its only a dog, OK? Chen Yu said as he grumpily crawled back onto his bed and covered himself up with his blanket. Stop disturbing me and get to coding. Im going to sleep.
Okay. Goodnight, Mr. Chen, Little Peach murmured. She then continued staring at the husky
The next day, early morning
One pair, fives.
One pair, nines.
No, no, thats wrong. Eight isnt larger than nine. You need to use a pair thats larger than nine to follow
Little Peachs chirping voice woke up Chen Yu.
In a daze, he turned around to look at what the commotion was about. Upon seeing what he saw, his eyes widened immediately.
Currently, Little Peach and the husky were seated opposite each other on the floor in the middle of the room, with Little Peach holding a set of cards in her human hands, and the husky holding another set of cards in its dog paws
WDF?!
Chapter 123 - I’m Not Interested in Money
Chapter 123 C Im Not Interested in Money
Mr. Chen, youre awake? Turning toward Chen Yu, Little Peach said excitedly, Were missing one player for landlord! Come join us!
Similarly, the husky turned toward Chen Yu and wagged its tail, Woof!
W-Wait Rolling out of bed in horror, Chen Yu grabbed the husky by its neck and gave it a thorough inspection. I-It can play cards?!
It still isnt very proficient. Ive been teaching it the whole night, yet it still cant distinguish between Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Jokers.
It also cant clearly distinguish between the cards numbered 6 and above. This dog doesnt know how to count, Little Peach commented thoughtfully.
Are you messing with me?
Huh?
What bullshit are you spouting? How can its intelligence improve so much in one night?
Putting down the husky, Chen Yu pulled out a 3 from the discarded pile and smacked it onto the floor, asking, Whats this?
At Chen Yus question, the huskys wise eyes filled with delight as it barked, Woof! Woof! Woof!
Pikachu said thats three, Little Peach translated.
What about this? Che Yu pulled out a 5 this time.
Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!
Pikachu said thats five, Little Peach translated again.
What?! Chen Yus eyes widened. Pulling out a 10, Chen Yu asked once more, W-What about this?
Woof, woof, woofwoof!
Pikachu said thats ten.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this time, accompanied by knocking sounds, Mother Chens reprimanding shout came from beyond the door, Chen Yu! Whats with all the noise so early in the morning?! Come out for breakfast!
Ill come right away.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu stood up and pulled out an exercise book titled Compulsory Mathematics 2. After flipping through a few pages, he faced the book toward the husky and pointed at a spatial geometry question, Whats the answer?
The husky:
Little Peach: It says youre putting it in a bind.
Bullshit! It clearly didnt say anything!
After thorough testing, Chen Yu gained a general idea of the huskys IQ.
To put it simply, this dogs IQ was just slightly inferior to that of an orangutan. It was capable of accurately identifying numbers within a range of five, and inaccurately determining numbers between five and ten.
Even so, this was only the result of one day!
As the drug continued taking effect, the huskys IQ would obviously grow higher and higher.
What a scary drug
Picking up the Special Omega-3 Concentrated Lipids packaging from the trash, Chen Yu started mumbling to himself in shock while reading the introduction.
If he fed this thing to chimpanzees, he might end up causing an actual Planet of the Apes scenario.
So, even pet supplies from the future might pose a threat in 2020
Grabbing the lighter sitting on his desk, Chen Yu incinerated the packaging and confiscated the scattered playing cards. He then sat on the floor and quietly stared at the husky.
He was thinking of how he should educate this dog.
What should I teach it? Chen Yu asked as he turned to Little Peach.
Teach it landlord.
Aside from playing, can you think of something more serious?
ThenTeach it coding? Little Peach tentatively asked.
Chen Yu:
Awoo! The husky howled with a stern expression.
It says it wishes to continue learning landlord, Little Peach earnestly translated.
Chen Yu:
Ten minutes later, all six members of the Chen family gathered in the kitchen for breakfast.
Father Chen and Mother Chen kept exchanging glances with each other during the meal, seemingly having a secret conversation.
After a while, Mother Chen cleared her throat and said, Little Chen Yu, I have something to discuss with you.
Little Chen Yu? Why so polite? Chen Yu immediately grew alert. What are you trying to do?
What is that attitude? Mother Chen frowned. Youre making it seem like were trying to harm you.
What the hell is it?
Its like this Putting down her chopsticks, Mother Chen sorted out her words in her mind before smiling, Yesterday, your father and I
Mom, stop smiling. Youre scaring me.
Bang!
Mother Chen snapped and smacked the table. What did you say, you little bastard? Are your ears getting itchy again?
No. Go on, go on
Ahem. Revealing her smile again, Mother Chen continued, Your father and I attended a teachers lecture yesterday.
Health products?
What health products? Do you think your mother is someone so easily fooled?
Oh? What kind of class is it, then?
It was about stocks and investment.
Mom, you should stick with health care products.
Stocks and investment! Mother Chen repeated, her voice raised. This isnt a scam. This is a kind of financial management. You are still young, so you wont understand it.
And you guys understand?
Of course. The teacher was good at explaining. We immediately understood after his lecture. Now is a good time for managing finances. We can make money as soon as we enter the market!
So?
So, after your father and I discussed it last night, weve decided to explain it to you and delve into financial management. Well make some money for both you and your sisters.
Youre trying to borrow money from me?
How can it be a loan? Were a family.
Want?
Want.
Mom Putting his hand on his forehead, Chen Yu said, Its 2020. Our family has finally managed to get out of hard times. What are you doing?
Of course, it is to increase our family properties for you children! Mother Chen frowned in dissatisfaction. Your father and I are old. How many more years can we possibly live? We need to consider your future lives. A man without foresight will have immediate worries, understand? Your father and I are no longer at the peak of our health. Now that we can still fight, we need to make more money so that you four can have it easier in the future.
If I dont give you the money, youll definitely be discontent, right?
Isnt that obvious?
Then, what should I say to not make you discontent?
So long as you dont give us the money, well remain discontent regardless of what you say.
Chen Yu truly wished to burst into tears right now.
Now is the perfect time for financial management. If we earn a house for you, your father and I can finally let go of our worries. Gripping onto Chen Yus hands, Mother Chen earnestly said, This is the opportunity of a lifetime. It just so happens that our family currently has money to spare. Youre all grown up as well. Who knows when youll get married? At that time, we cant possibly go on without a house of our own.
What if you lose the money? Chen Yu asked.
Its impossible to lose.
I said what if.
There are no ifs.
Cant there be even a small chance of loss?
That teacher is a professor of a prestigious universitys finance department. The financial projects he is managing all have good performances. There are no what ifs, Mother Chen said confidently.
Ugh. Sighing, Chen Yu scratched his head and gave in, Fine. I have 50,000 on my WeChat. Is that enough?
Its enough. Mother Chen waved her hand generously. Once Ive earned money, I wont keep a single cent for myself. Ill use it all to buy a house for you.
Whatever, your son doesnt lack money. However, I still pray for your success.
Son, just wait for the good news, Mother Chen said as she excitedly rubbed her hands together. Hurriedly picking up her chopsticks, she snatched the drumstick from Father Chens bowl and placed it into Chen Yus bowl. Here, eat.
Father Chen:
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yu left home together with his three little sisters.
Hesitantly, Chen Yike said, Brother, I think mom might have been tricked.
Be more confident. Get rid of the might.
Why didnt you advise mom, then?
Shes clearly been fooled. Chen Yu shrugged. Dad also doesnt understand anything. How long would I need to persuade them? Its just 50,000 yuan. Just think of it as a way to buy mom some joy. After she loses this money, she wont be so easily tricked again. We can save ourselves from worry as well.
B-But its 50,000 yuan Chen Yike sighed. Why does it feel like 50,000 yuan is nothing in your eyes?
Halting his advance, Chen Yu reached out and patted Chen Yikes head, Your brother is no longer interested in money. In fact, I dont even plan to touch money for the rest of my life. The time I feel happiest is when mom gave me 90 yuan every month as pocket money

Chapter 124 - Quickly Leave! Your Life is at Stake… (1)
Chapter 124 C Quickly Leave! Your Life is at Stake (1)
Time rushed by like flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
At 9:30 AM on a Saturday morning, Chen Yu sat on his bedroom floor. After removing the Transdimensional Express Delivery packages seal, he took out the black bowtie sitting inside it.
This was the product he had spent 13 points to purchasethe Conan Voice Changer.
[Conan Voice Changer (Black version): Produced by the Sanlian Company in the year 2077. By compressing and tightening the external buck, this voice changer can manipulate the vibration of the users vocal cords and allow the user to freely imitate the voices of 6-year-old to 80-year-old men and women. This voice changer is also capable of imitating simple animal sounds. When using this voice changer, please adjust the bowties initial tightness according to personal conditions to avoid dangerous situations. The selling price is 11 points.]
This is it! I finally got what I want!
After excitedly snapping his fingers, Chen Yu quickly read through its instruction manual and wore the bowtie around his neck. After making several adjustments, he spoke using Little Peachs voice, Hello? How are you? I am Little Peach?
Hmm? Little Peach, who was frenziedly typing away at her laptop, turned around in surprise. Huh?
How is it? Do I sound like you?
You do!
Lets switch to another voice. Lowering his head, Chen Yu twisted the knob on the bowtie a few times and said, Hahaha, Im Dummy Chen.
Its your youngest sister, Chen Sankes voice, Little Peach said.
Hehehe, Im Scaredy Chen.
Its your sister Chen Erkes voice.
Kekekeke, Im Baddy Chen.
Its your eldest little sisters voice.
How is it? Delighted, Chen Yu asked, Awesome, right?
I can do it as well. Opening her mouth, Little Peach rapidly changed and went through three voices: I am Eldest, Second Eldest, and Third Eldest.
Sure, sure, sure. You can do everything. Youre amazing.
Mr. Chen, why did you exchange for such an item?
After storing the bowtie into his pocket, Chen Yu picked up a pen and notebook. While writing on the paper, he said, Didnt I say it before? Im planning to add some small events in my livestreams to enhance the programs promotional effect. Of the few ideas Ive thought up, every one of them requires me to have face-to-face conversations with other people. Hence, I exchanged for this voice changer.
What kind of events? Do you need my help as well? Little Peach asked.
For example, this. Chen Yu pointed at a page in his notebook. Well find one or more viewers to experience the effects of our products. We can make our selections through the bullet comment section, donation list, and so on.
Didnt you get nothing from donations?
I might not get any benefits, but the global welfare system will. We can consider it as doing a good thing.
You really are a good person.
Why does it feel like youre cursing me? Chen Yu frowned.
Huh? Little Peach became puzzled. Im complimenting you.
Its almost 2021. Nobody compliments others in such a way.
Oh.
Look at this other one. Turning to another page, Chen Yu said, Well use a product to cause an impact in some large city. Afterward, well interview the surrounding people and ask them for feedback on this impact. That way, the livestream will feel more grounded, and the audience will feel greater authenticity and impact.
I-I dont quite understand.
Take the Weather Control Module, for example. Ill call down a snowstorm in Guangzhou and ask the citys residents if theyre cold or not.
How interesting! Little Peachs eyes glowed with excitement. We can also call down a comet and ask the people if it hurts or not.
Are you infected with a virus?
No.
Hurry up and go back to coding. Youre looking less and less like a normal robot.
After shooing Little Peach away, Chen Yu got into a comfortable squatting position and continued writing and doodling on his notebook. He still hadnt perfected these livestream events, and many parts required modification.
Knock, knock, knock.
Shortly after Chen Yu started working, a knock came from the door, followed by Chen Yikes voice, Brother, your classmate is looking for you.
My classmate? Looking up, Chen Yu wondered, Is it Bald Li?
No, its a female classmate, Chen Yike said in a strange tone.
A female classmate? Closing his notebook, Chen Yu stood up and signaled for Little Peach to turn invisible. He then walked out of his bedroom and looked into the living room. Who is it? Where is she?
Shes outside. I havent let her in, Chen Yike said as she sneakily appraised Chen Yu. Brother, you should go meet her quickly.
With suspicion in his mind, Chen Yu walked to the security door and opened it. Immediately, he exclaimed in shock, Xing Biqi?!
He-Hello, Chen Yu. Xing Biqi, who stood outside the door, blushed slightly as she made a deep bow. Sorry for interrupting you.
You Turning back to look at Chen Yike, Chen Yu discovered that both Chen Erke and Chen Sanke had appeared at some point. Hurriedly, he stepped out of the house and shut the door. He then questioned, Why are you here?
I I have some physics questions I need y-your help with, Xing Biqi said with her head lowered, her silky hair covering half of her delicate face.
Are you messing with me? You didnt even bring your book.
I did. Reaching into her worn-down jacket, Xing Biqi pulled out a high school physics textbook and said, Its here. Its too cold outside. M-My hands would freeze if I held it out in the open.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at Xing Biqis snow-stained cotton shoes. You walked all the way here?
Mhm.
Isnt your house beside a train station?! Why did you walk all the way here?!
H-How did you know I lived near a train station? Xing Biqi abruptly raised her head at Chen Yus words.
How did you know where I lived?
L-Li Liang told me.
Looking over at the shivering girl before him, Chen Yu scratched his head in irritation. Its a cold day. Why did you walk such a long distance? Is your head alright?
I-I have questions I dont know how to answer Xing Biqi said, clenching her physics textbook. Taking a small step back, she continued, I-If its inconvenient for you, I I will go back first.
Chen Yu very much wished to nod in agreement. However, when he saw the snow collected on Xing Biqis long eyelashes, he fell silent for a moment before sighing and opening the security door. Come in.
T-Thank you, Chen Yu.
After leading Xing Biqi into the house, Chen Yu pointed at his three little sisters and said, Let me introduce you. These three here are my little sisters. This person here is my classmate.
Hello, little sisters. My name is Xing Biqi, Xing Biqi said as she bowed politely.
With a strange look on her face, Chen Yike said, Im Chen Yike.
With hostility on her face, Chen Erke said, Im Chen Erke.
With a blank look on her face, Chen Sanke said, Xing what?
Xing Biqi.
At this time, Pikachu also ran over and sniffed Xing Biqis legs. Woof!
Picking up Pikachu, Chen Yu introduced, Its called Husky.
In Chen Yus eyes, Xing Biqi was, without a doubt, a government agent. He naturally couldnt let her into his bedroom. Hence, he only led her to the living room. He also planned to kick her out once she had warmed up her body.
After waiting for Xing Biqi to take a seat on the sofa, Chen Yike asked, Big Brother, have fun with Big Sister. Ill head to the master bedroom together with my sisters.
No! Chen Erke angrily raised her small fists. I want to be together with Big Bro-mmm!!
Before Chen Erke could finish her words, Chen Yike had covered her mouth and dragged her away.
Now, of the Chen familys three sisters, only Chen Sanke remained in the living room. With widened eyes, she stared at Xing Biqi in a daze.
Feeling slightly embarrassed from being stared at, Xing Biqis hands struggled in her jacket for a moment before she pulled out a piece of soft candy, H-Here, for you, little sister.
Chen Sanke accepted the candy without hesitation. After clumsily removing the wrapper, she tossed the candy into her mouth. And while chewing, she pulled up her shirt and revealed her belly, asking, Want a pinch?
Chen Yu:
Xing Biqi:
Chapter 125 - Quickly Leave! Your Life is at Stake… (2)
Chapter 125 C Quickly Leave! Your Life is at Stake (2)
In the warm and sunny living room, Chen Yu and Xing Biqi sat staring at each other.
After some time had passed, Chen Yu finally caved and asked, Why are you here?
T-To learn.
Why dont you hurry it up, then?
Oh! Okay! Xing Biqi hurriedly flipped through her physics textbook and pointed at a question, asking, I-I dont understand this question. Can you teach it to me, Chen Yu?
When Chen Yu looked at the area Xing Biqi pointed at, he immediately revealed an angry smile and said, Introduction to Newtons scientific career? Is this even a damned question?
Xing Biqi immediately grew flustered at Chen Yus statement. Hurriedly, she turned two pages forward and corrected herself, I-Its this one.
Rated power and actual power? Standing up, Chen Yu walked around the coffee table and sat down beside Xing Biqi. He then grabbed one of Chen Erkes crayons lying on the table and drew two lines on the textbook. Isnt the books explanation clear enough? Power generators such as electric motors and internal combustion engines are marked with rated power, which is the maximum power that these machines can operate under normal conditions
While Chen Yu was immersed in explaining, Xing Biqi silently turned to stare at the side of his face. Simultaneously, she gradually spread out her right leg, carefully touching Chen Yus left leg. Upon making skin contact, her cheeks immediately flushed red.
Mm
Chen Yu frowned at this situation and promptly distanced himself from the girl.
Xing Biqis breathing quickened. Lowering her head shyly, she promptly stuck to Chen Yu once more.
Chen Yu then shifted away again.
Xing Biqi then stuck to him again.
Shifted again.
Stuck again
After this cycle repeated several times, Xing Biqi had basically squeezed Chen Yu off the sofa.
W-Why are you constantly avoiding me? Xing Biqi asked in a very soft tone.
Hesitantly, Chen Yu said, Dont you think this scenario is somewhat familiar?
I-Is that so?
Is this retribution?
Maybe its f-fate The blush on the girls face spread all the way to the tip of her ears.
You
Buzz!
Before Chen Yu could speak out his mind, the familiar sound of electric current flowing suddenly came from above.
Looking up, he quickly noticed the Golden Middle Finger primed and ready to flick at Xing Biqis head!
Little Peach!
Chen Yus pupils shrank, and he immediately sprang up from his seat. He snatched over the Golden Middle Finger and tightly grabbed onto the invisible Little Peach in the nick of time.
Huh? Xing Biqi turned around in surprise. Looking at Chen Yus stiff figure, she asked, What did you say?
Nothing! Nothing! Hahaha
???
Hahahaha
Chen Yu calmly stored the Golden Middle Finger away while laughing loudly. He then grabbed Little Peach with both hands and dragged her back to his bedroom.
Chen Yu, w-where are you going?
Give me a minute. Im going to change into another set of clothes.
After pushing Little Peach back into his bedroom, Chen Yu locked the door and angrily demanded, What are you trying to do?!
Exiting her invisibility mode, Little Peach angrily pouted, All who dares to touch my man must die!
Chen Yu:
Im going to show her whos boss!
Big Sis! Can you behave normally?!
Rubbing his temples, Chen Yu pointed at the table and said, Go back to coding! Youre not allowed to leave the room!
Mr. Chen, are you going to cheat?!
Cheat my ass! Little Peach, just you wait. Im going to give you a proper education afterward.
After walking out of his room and shutting the door, Chen Yu returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
C-Chen Yu, werent you going to change your clothes?
Forget it. Lets not talk about this. Pointing at Xing Biqis down jacket, Chen Yu said, Hurry up and put on your clothes.
A-Are you worried that Ill catch a cold?
Im worried youll die.
?
Hurry up. Get dressed and leave.
I still have a lot of questions. Lowering her head, Xing Biqi pitifully expressed her request, I want you to teach me.
Thats enough. Waving the girl off in annoyance, Chen Yu suddenly put on a sharp look as he asked, Out with it. Whats your goal?
Huh?
Get to the point. Lets stop playing sneaky tricks. Sneering, Chen Yu said, Its been almost two months now since youve started approaching me. Whats your aim?
Xing Biqi shuddered at Chen Yus words, her head lowering even further.
Since you dont want to say it, then dont. Chen Yu grabbed Xing Biqis jacket and tossed it onto the girls shoulder. Put it on and go.
I
Go.
Actually
Leave.
Xing Biqi opened her mouth, but her reservation still prevented her from speaking out her heart.
In the end, she quietly put on her jacket, picked up her textbook, and walked toward the door under Chen Yus urging (protection).
Creak.
Pushing open the security door, Chen Yu pointed outside and said, Go on. I wont see you off. Stay safe on the road.
I Her grip on her textbook tightening and her breathing quickening, Xing Biqi suddenly raised her head and stared at Chen Yu with widened eyes. After summoning up her courage, she asked, Do y-you like me?
Chen Yu was stunned.
I asked, do you like me?
The boy and girl stared at each other for a whole 10 seconds.
After returning to his senses, Chen Yu indifferently said, No.
The girls eyes instantly reddened. Nodding, she turned around and muttered, I understand.
Gazing at the girls lonely back moving away, a light of inspiration flashed across Chen Yus eyes. Just as the girl was about to enter the elevator, he shouted, Fool! Loving someone is different from liking someone!
Xing Biqis body shook at Chen Yus words. Her head snapping back toward Chen Yu, and her eyes overflowing with tears, she asked, Do y-you love me?
No.
The girls body stiffened.
But, I can lie to you, dummy.
Chen Yu revealed a smile as dazzling as the sun.
Bursting into tears and laughter, the girl asked, Are you lying to me, then?
No. Everything Ive said is true. Chen Yu instantly wiped away the smile on his face.
Hurry up and leave.
Her breathing hastening, Xing Biqi stared at Chen Yu with teary eyes for a long time before she turned around and left.
Hah
Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of satisfaction.
It didnt matter how old a trick was. It was fine so long it was useful.
Although heroes of old usually fell at the hands of beauty, he was on a different level compared to these heroes. He wouldnt fall for such schemes.
Just as Chen Yu had shut the security door and was about to lock it, the door suddenly got pulled open.
In the next moment, Xing Biqi leaped through the door and hugged Chen Yu. With a firm and crying voice, she declared, Youre a bad guy! Im going to date you! Im definitely dating you!
After saying so, the girl turned around and fled without looking back.
Uh
Chen Yu stared at the girls departing figure in a daze, his brain falling into complete chaos Only after noticing the murderous Little Peach chasing after the girl with a 40-meter-long lightsaber did he snap out of his daze
Crap? C-Come back!
Chapter 126 - Fourth Livestream, Start
Chapter 126 C Fourth Livestream, Start
Jinzhou City, inside a courtyard located in the suburbs
Its been a month. Have we still not gotten any results from interrogating that black agent? the special situation teams leader asked while reading the interrogation records.
No, Xiao Li answered, shaking his head. Through detailed examination, we have confirmed that he indeed has amnesia. Aside from knowing that he is named Nick Fury, we know nothing else about him.
What about the white agent that was partnered with him? Does he not know anything either?
Yes. The agents working in their group do not know of each others identities or personal tasks. They are incredibly professional.
Mhm.
The middle-aged team leader nodded and stopped talking. He then started carefully examining the report.
Three minutes later, the team leader raised his head and sighed, I simply cannot imagine what happened in the warehouse. Dangerous. Chen Yu is too dangerous
Leader, should we continue with our next action?
Of course. Standing up from his seat, the team leader sternly said, I came from Beijing to Jinzhou to personally command the operations here. This time, we must have face-to-face contact with Chen Yu.
Chen Yus attitude remains unclear, Leader. How about we send someone else in place of you? Xiao Li suggested.
Its precisely because his stance is unclear that I need to personally take to the field.
W-What if the other party maintains a tough attitude?
Ive already been authorized. With a cold glint in his eyes, the team leader said, If he remains hostile toward us, well let him know what a truly tough attitude is! It is necessary to display a certain degree of force. We cannot let him think that he is above the law.
Upon hearing the middle-aged team leaders words, Xiao Li wanted to speak but stopped.
What do you want to say? the team leader asked.
N-Nothing. Please pay attention to your safety.
Mhm. I know that. The team leader nodded. Looking at his watch, he continued, Its half past eight now. There are 30 minutes left before Transdimensional Reviews official livestream begins. Chen Yu is normally very punctual. Lets head to the conference room.
Yes, sir.
The two walked out of the office, and under the escort of armed guards, they went downstairs and arrived before a large conference room.
The moment they opened the doors, a wave of sound washed over them, the noise causing the middle-aged team leader to frown.
In the conference room, various industry experts, military officers, assistants, and university professors were present. These people were all loudly exchanging information, afraid that their conversation partners could not hear them.
In a corner of the room, two old men, who seemed to be arguing over calculation errors, eventually resorted to using their fists to settle their argument, their actions causing the students behind them to start arguing with each other as well
Seeing this, the middle-aged team leaders complexion darkened immediately. Walking toward the seat of honor with large strides, he then smacked his palm on the round table.
Bang!
The conference room instantly fell silent.
Resisting the impulse to scream, the team leader spoke in a deep voice, I know that everyones in a tense mood right now. However, remaining calm is still the best way to operate efficiently. If there are calculation errors, you can recalculate. If there is missing information, you are free to ask. The entire special situation team has 175 temporary subordinate departments and over 12,000 staff members. Can all of you behave like proper adults?!
Everyone in the meeting room cast sidelong glances, pretending as if nothing had happened.
As for the two old men who were previously engaged in a fistfight, their faces flushed in anger and embarrassment. They promptly turned away from each other.
Scanning the room, the middle-aged team leader stopped his rant. Taking his seat, he then started flipping through the stack of reports placed before him.
Ruffle Ruffle
Nobody in the room continued speaking. Everyone fully immersed themselves with reading the various materials in their hands and re-entered their working state.
When 8:50 AM arrived, aside from a few technical staff and recordkeeping personnel, everyone else halted their work and looked toward the large screen hung at the end of the room.
Transdimensional Reviews official livestream would soon begin
Meanwhile, in the Chen familys abode located in the nearby Lanhe District
Chen Yu sat on his bed and stared into the empty space before him as he waited for the 9 AM delivery to arrive.
Mr. Chen, what do you think of this new set of clothes?
At this time, the Interstellar Portal opened, and Little Peach came walking through it while holding a black robe.
Where did you buy it?
Russia.
After accepting the robe and putting it on, he walked up to a mirror and did a few turns. Afterward, he put on his mask and nodded in satisfaction. Not bad. It gives off a Grim Reaper vibe.
Youre not wearing the haori anymore?
I cant keep wearing the same thing. I need to give the audience a new look.
If you dont wish to wash it, Little Peach can help you with it!
Bullshit! Do I look that lazy to you?! Have you seen any public figures wearing only a single clothing set? Stop spouting nonsense and put on your mask. The livestream is about to start.
Okay.
Little Peach obediently put on her mask.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu took out the Conan Voice Changer and wore the bowtie around his neck. After doing some fine-tuning, he asked, How does this voice sound? Its the style of a magnetic bigshot.
It sounds good.
Lets go with this, then. It suits my temperament.
Following this, time passed by quickly.
When the numbers on Chen Yus watch jumped to 9:00, a wormhole punctually opened up in the middle of his room. A massive white box then fell out of the wormhole.
Boom!
The box fell heavily on the ground, shattering it
Chen Yu: Is this another damned robot?
After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu approached the box and tried pushing it, but to no avail.
This cant be a real nuke, right?! Chen Yu started growing doubtful. Little Peach, can you carry it?
Approaching the giant box, Little Peach bent forward and circled her arms around it. She then straightened her waist with all her might, lifting the three-meter-tall box off the ground. Wow, its heavy.
You carry it, then.
After saying so, Chen Yu walked up to the Interstellar Portal, called out the holographic Earth, and started searching for a livestream location.
Little Peach, where do you want to go?
A-Anywhere is fine. Mr. Chen, please hurry up. Its too heavy.
Out in the wild, or in a city?
A-Anywhere is fine
How about Mount Tai?
Sure, sure, sure
Mount Tai, then.
Chen Yu swiped his finger across the holographic globe and established the spatial link. When he pushed open the wooden door, a gust of cold wind immediately flowed into his room.
The wind at the summit is a little strong.
Before Chen Yu could even step through the door, Little Peach already charged through it and settled the big box on the ground.
Boom!
Several pieces of rubble were instantly crushed into dust.
How heavy Little Peach said as she wiped away the simulated sweat that had formed on her forehead. Scanning the big box, she asked, Whats inside this thing?
Its definitely a lump of iron.
After walking through the portal, Chen Yu observed his surroundings. He then disconnected the spatial link with his bedroom and transformed the portals outer appearance into a five-meter-tall metal arch.
Its past nine oclock now. Lets start the livestream. Little Peach, stand behind me. Pay attention to how you call me. Dont make any slip-ups.
Please rest assured. Patting her chest, Little Peach declared, You can absolutely trust in me.
Sighing, Chen Yu waved his hand and proceeded with directing the floating camera toward himself. He then started the livestream.

Ten seconds later, the total viewer count exceeded 500,000, and it still showed no signs of stopping.

[I wonder which bastard will reveal their talent among the tens of thousands of bullet comments this time? ( ????)]
[Im crying tears of joy. The UP isnt dead!]
[Just leaving a comment.]
Amidst the turbulent bullet comments, Chen Yu straightened his mask and puffed up his chest. He then loudly said, Good morning, fellow friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews fourth
Official! Live! Stream!
Chapter 127 - Courting Death (1)
Chapter 127 C Courting Death (1)
Somewhere in the windy Mount Tai, Chen Yu faced the camera and said his opening remarks while standing underneath the huge metal arch.
Good morning, fellow friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews fourth official livestream. Thank you for waiting in front of your screens.
The product for todays episode is this big box next to me. Like you, I dont know whats inside this box. Now, lets dispense with the nonsense and get to the unboxing.
After saying so, Chen Yu reached out to the box and removed its seal. With Little Peachs help, he quickly tore the delivery box apart, revealing a rectangular metal box.
The metal box was two meters tall and one meter wide. The metal was matte black and had low reflective properties.
Located at the top of the box was a mirror that seemed to be a solar panel.
There was also a thick, glass dome protruding out from the middle of the metal box, and through the glass, one could see a purple one-piece suit inside the box.
This is
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu reached out for the console located beneath the glass dome. Immediately, a holographic projection appeared before him.
[Thank you for using the Haqiu Arms Companys Full-coverage Special Protective Suit. Please register your fingerprint and bind your personal information.]
Its just a protective suit? Mumbling to himself, Chen Yu stretched out his index finger and registered his fingerprint.
[Binding complete.]
[Protective suit integrity at 100%.]
[Hatch opening]
Hiss
Accompanied by the sound of strong airflow, the metal surface directed toward Chen Yu slowly opened, revealing the mist-shrouded protective suit inside the metal box.
[Air pressure normal. You may enter the cabin.]
This thing is a little confusing for me.
After sliding his finger a few times across the virtual console, Chen Yu found an option for instructions and clicked it quickly.
In the next moment, the hologram disappeared, and the entire box suddenly lit up brightly.
[Product introduction in progress. Please pay attention to the highlighted parts.]
[This product was produced by the Haqiu Arms Company in 2305. It is one of the best protective clothing available in the 24th century. It is capable of adapting to various extreme environments. Note: ultra-extreme environments such as black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and stellar cores are an exception.]
[The current highlighted part is the protective suits maintenance pod. The pod automatically repairs and preserves the protective suit.]
The introduction voice stopped momentarily. The illuminated part of the metal box then darkened, while the solar panel above the box lit up.
[The current highlighted part is the maintenance pods solar charging panel. While in a sunny environment, the pod will automatically recharge itself.]
[The current highlighted part is the maintenance pods control module]
Under the gaze of nearly 700,000 viewers, lights kept flickering on and off around the metal box. Five minutes later, the introduction of the maintenance pod ended.
[Please enter the cabin and put on the protective suit to proceed with the introductions.]
Honestly, when I heard this was a protective suit, I felt a little disappointed. Now, though, it seems this thing is quite amazing.
After saying so, Chen Yu carefully stepped inside the cabin. The cabin door then started sliding shut.
[Please put on the protective suit.]
Chen Yu turned around and faced his back to the camera before removing his mask. He then quickly put on the purple protective suit and the tight headgear provided.
In the next moment, his body was forcefully turned around by a pair of metallic arms, and various strange pieces of white armor were installed all over his body.
Click!
First, it was a breastplate.
Click!
Afterward, it was a backplate.
Click!
Armguards.
Click!
Leggings.
Click!
Codpiece
The whole process was like assembling building blocks. Under the two metallic arms swift actions, all sorts of accessories and armor pieces were strapped onto Chen Yus body.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, a white helmet was locked onto Chen Yus head, tightly sealing the suit of armor. The cabin door then slowly opened.
Hiss
Amidst the white mist, Chen Yu stepped out of the maintenance pod. He then carefully inspected the armor on his body under the dazzling sun.
[Crap! That thing looks way too cool!]
[You call this a protective suit?]
[Its already stated clearly that the manufacturer is an arms company.]
[Can it resist nuclear bombs?]
[Isnt this a goddamned power armor]
[Stark: ???]
Straightening his arms, Chen Yu walked a few circles before the camera. Through the protective suits voice transmission equipment, he said, I know what everyone wants to say, but this thing really isnt a power armor. Every piece of armor is very light. According to the instructions I heard in the cabin, the armor is filled with a Type-VI solid aerogel capable of isolating extreme temperatures and high radiation levels.
The backplate is equipped with a lower-power plasma engine, which allows the user to traverse across extreme environments at a slow speed. The maximum speed of the suit isum
Under standard atmospheric pressure, the suit can reach a maximum speed of 3,200 kilometers per hour.
More than double the speed of sound
[This things definition of slow really is an eye-opener.]
[Host! Fly a round for us! I beg you!]
[@Chengdu J-20, come quickly. Someone is about to overthrow you]
[I look down on you uncultured country bumpkins.]
As far as I know, this speed has completely surpassed even the most advanced fighter jets available in 2020. I can only say as expected of technology from the future.
Now that weve gone through the unboxing and introduction sessions, well proceed with the next topicCproduct review.
Setting the floating camera into the auto-follow mode, Chen Yu continued, Since this is a protective suit, Ive thought up of plenty of ways to evaluate this product. But fret not, we have plenty of time. Lets go through them one by one.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked toward Little Peach and said, I can only conduct the review by myself this time. Bring the maintenance pod to the ship and wait for me there. Also, leave the portal here; I still have uses for it.
Youll do it alone? Little Peach asked worriedly.
Mhm. Theres only one suit. I dont need you.
Very well, my King. Please pay attention to your safety!
After gesturing an OK, Chen Yu adjusted the engine pressure with the protective suits guidance systems help. After that was done, he then executed a powerful jump.
Boom!
Chen Yu instantly shot over a thousand meters into the air, the sonic boom left in his wake sending the dirt and gravel within a hundred-meter radius flying.
Swish Swish
The blue light jetting out of the backplate collided with the air to generate a recoil, allowing Chen Yu to hover in the air.
Reaching out to touch the blue flames coming out of his back, Chen Yu dully said, From the front, it looks as if Im spewing flames out of my butt Is this stupid design really alright?
[Flaming farts. Everything looks acceptable to me.]
[Haha, UP, if you havent mentioned it, I wouldnt have noticed it at all]
[That speed just now exceeded the speed of sound, right?]
[Hello? Superheroes?]
[Am I the only one that has noticed that the host isnt altering his voice today?]
[I just entered the livestream. Is the host streaming a new movie?]
[Little kids shouldnt watch this violent film.]
Lowering his head, Chen Yu gave Little Peach, who wore a stunned look on her face, a glance. He then faced the camera and spread his arms, saying, This protective suit clearly has a special buffer installed. I did not feel the slightest discomfort during the entire acceleration process before.
Well, then, lets start the detailed review of this product. Firstly, lets test the suits speed. Well see whether it can actually reach a top speed of 3,200 kilometers per hour.
Pointing toward the east, Chen Yu said, Im currently at Mount Tai and roughly 300 kilometers away from Qingdao City. If I go at full speed, I should reach there in roughly six minutes.
After saying so, Chen Yu faced east and assumed the classic Superman flying posture. He then pushed the jet engine to full throttle!
Boom!
Along with a loud boom, the surrounding clouds exploded!
Chen Yu instantly broke through the sound barrier, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared into the distant clouds and sky.
In the next moment, the floating camera that was suspended in mid-air chased after Chen Yu at an even greater speed, allowing the livestreams 800,000 viewers to have a first-person experience of supersonic speed!
At the same time, the air-defense warning systems located throughout Shangdong Province sounded out one after another
Chapter 128 - Courting Death (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 128 C Courting Death (2)
Above Yiyuan County, a streak of white light suddenly flashed past the cloudless sky!
Whoosh
Roughly six seconds later, a sonic boom followed, the sound startling the countys residents.
What just whooshed by?
It looked like a meteor
N-No! Isnt that a fighter jet?!
At this time, a man with keen eyesight pointed to the west and jumped up excitedly, Fighter jets! Two of them!
Brrr
Accompanied by the loud roaring sound of engines, two fighter jets slowly made their appearance in Yiyuan County. The jets flew from west to east, leaving behind two long trails of smoke behind their fiery tails as they chased after the white flash.
Command, this is J2. Target is too fast. We will soon lose its position. I repeat. This is J2. Target is too fast. We will soon lose its position.
Inside the cockpit of one of the fighter jets, the jets pilot maintained a standard posture as he solemnly reported his analysis based on the data displayed on his helmets visor.
Adjourn the mission and return to base.
Yes, sir.
After giving a response, the pilot raised his head and angrily pulled down his oxygen supply mask. He then altered the aircrafts pitch and lowered its speed before turning back toward the route it came from.
Dammit.
Three minutes later, Qingdao City:
On top of a high-rise in the city center, many university students stood there, gazing to the west. Nobody spoke a word as they fully engrossed themselves in staring at empty space.
Shortly afterward, a faint white light appeared in their vision. Upon seeing this light, everyone instantly broke into cheers. The female students bounced up and down happily, while the male students roared and screamed in excitement.
Hes here! The UP is here!
Goddammit! Amazing! This UP is too amazing!
I see him, I see him
A slightly chubby student held up his phone with shaking hands and quickly typed a comment in the livestream.
[The UP is here! Im at Qingdao! I see the UP flying over! Im going crazy!]
Whoosh
Despite the piercing sound of the protective suits armor plating rubbing against the air, the students continued waving their hands in excitement, hoping that Chen Yu would see them.
Meanwhile, inside the protective suit, Chen Yu lowered the engines pressure. Immediately, the jet of blue flames coming out of his backplate weakened.
Due to inertia, Chen Yu continued flying forward for several more kilometers before he came to a stop in mid-air.
Brothers! I have arrived!
Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu pointed at the easts horizon and said, Can you see the beach? It took me less than six minutes to fly from Mount Tai to Qingdao. Now, we can be sure that, under atmospheric pressure, this protective suits flight speed can indeed reach more than twice the speed of sound.
[Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!]
[Im so goddamned envious! I want to fly in a power armor as well!]
[Host, youre awesome! (Voice cracking)]
[Host, youre awesome! (Voice cracking)]
[I just watched a first-person Superman film.]
[Is nobody paying attention to the cameraman?]
[UP! The Century Towers roof! Can you see us?]
[Visit Sword Island! Strongly request that you visit Sword Island!]
[Im at Yiyuan County. I just saw many fighter jets chasing after the UP]
[Im at Qingdao. I can see the host just by raising my head.]
After finishing his short speech, Chen Yu removed his left glove and took a look at the bullet comments displayed on his watch. He then put his glove back on and lowered his head to look around. He quickly noticed that a group of youngsters was currently frantically waving their arms above a tall building.
Hehe, can you see them? Those are my fans.
Chen Yu triumphantly raised his head at the camera. He then stretched out his hand and waved back at the crowd below.
Oooh!!
UP, youre awesome!
Look over here!
Daddy!
The youngsters on the roof grew even more excited at Chen Yus actions, with some seemingly wanting to leap at Chen Yu.
I just read the comments and someone suggested to visit Sword Island. Just what I wanted.
After greeting his fans, Chen Yu started revving up the engine once more and raised his altitude. He then started flying eastward.
If, by the end of todays livestream, these university students still remained atop of that building, he planned to meet them face-to-face.
For now, though, his priority still remained in reviewing his product.
After reaching an altitude of 5,000 meters, Chen Yu hovered in the air for a moment before breaking through the sound barrier with a boom once more. He also weaved his way around the clouds, flying freely through the sky and giving his audience a performance.
[Dammit! Im dying of envy! When will 2305 arrive?]
[Im an UP as well, yet why is there such a vast gap between us?]
[After circling around the world, do you plan on going to space, host?]
[Thats for sure. Now, Im just going to silently lay on my bed and watch how the host is going to show off]
Sword Island wasnt located far away from Qingdao City. At maximum flight speed, it took Chen Yu less than a minute to reach it.
Looking down at Sword Island, he found that the islands mystical shape remained dazzling even from the sky
After descending to 3,000 meters, Chen Yu lowered his head and closely observed the island. Quickly, he noticed that barracks and airfields had already been constructed on the once-deserted island.
As expected of Chinese efficiency. This construction ability can practically rival the island-building ships.
Smiling, Chen Yu gestured a thumbs up at the island. However, just as he was about to turn around and fly away, a siren sound suddenly came from below him.
Waaaahhhh
Do you see it? Our compatriots are greeting me.
[Are you sure its not a warning?]
[Greeting my ass! Theyre clearly telling you that theyre going to shoot your ass down if you dont scram.]
[Hahaha, Im laughing to death]
As Chen Yu remained inside the protective suit, he naturally couldnt see his audiences bullet comments.
After silently pondering in the air for a moment, Chen Yu flew toward the ocean. While flying, he said, For current humans, the ocean is as difficult of a place to conquer as space. The parts we have explored are pitifully small.
Meanwhile, according to my knowledge, the deepest point of Earths ocean is the Mariana Trench located near the Pacific Ocean, reaching a depth of more than 11,000 meters. You can toss Mount Everest into it and still have room to spare.
So, taking advantage of todays review, I am going to dive beyond a depth of 10,000 meters and let everyone in the livestream rooms witness how cold and dark the world there is. Friends who are afraid of the deep sea, prepare yourselves.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his altitude once more and entered Earths stratosphere. He then set the protective suits engine to a high-pressure state.
Whoosh!
The blue flames coming out of the backplate flared abruptly, pushing Chen Yu forward at an extreme speed.
Three thousand kilometers per hour.
Three thousand five hundred kilometers per hour.
Four thousand kilometers per hour
Without a dense atmosphere to hinder him, Chen Yus flight speed continuously increased.
The livestream broadcasted to the hundreds of thousands of viewers also suddenly fell silent.
At this time, not even sound could keep up with Chen Yus and the cameras speed
Twenty minutes later.
The protective suits positioning system sounded a reminder.
Chen Yu reduced his speed of descent without hesitation.
Whoosh Whoosh
As Chen Yus flight speed fell below supersonic speed, the noisy sound of air friction appeared in the livestream rooms once more.
Shortly afterward, Chen Yu landed directly on the oceans surface. With half his feet submerged in seawater, he faced the camera and said, Were here. Below me is the Mariana Trench. Up till this date, there shouldve been many people that have dived to the bottom of this trench. However, I am certain that nobody can move about there as freely as-
Splash
Before Chen Yu could finish his sentence, the distant ocean bulged, and a huge whale emerged from the water. At the same time, a massive pillar of water jetted out of its blowhole.
Thatsa blue whale?!
Chen Yus eyes glowed upon spotting the blue whale. He then lowered his head and looked at the protective suit.
I suddenly have a bold idea
Chapter 129 - Courting Death (3)
Chapter 129 C Courting Death (3)
How about we have a tour around the inside of a whales stomach? Chen Yu asked as he stared at the distant blue whale.
[How did you even come up with such an idea?!]
[Now that UP has the protective suit, hes starting to fearlessly court death.]
[Courting death. +1]
[If you dont turn into poop, it means the protective suit is incredible!]
[Blue whales have a small throat. You wont get through it.]
[Host, find an active volcano, and jump into it. Let us expand our worldview.]
Personally, I think its not a bad idea to take a look inside. With how big its mouth is, getting swallowed by it must be awesome
After saying so, Chen Yu dived into the water without hesitation.
Hiss Hiss
The blue flames coming out of the engine exceeded 4,000. The instant it came into contact with the seawater, a trail of bubbles immediately appeared behind Chen Yu.
While rapidly approaching the blue whale, Chen Yu faced the camera and commented, Gururu, guruguru?
Guru?
Frowning, Chen Yu shot out of the water and removed his left glove. After making some adjustments on his watch, he wore back his glove and dove back into the water.
Mhm, thats better. Ive set the sound receiver to transmit my voice to my watch. That way, everyone in the livestream can hear what Im saying underwater.
As I was saying, this is just an extra event for the livestream. I dont intend to waste too much time here. Well wait for 10 minutes. If the whale doesnt open its mouth during that time, Ill withdraw.
Mmm
Shortly after Chen Yu was done speaking, the blue whale suddenly widened its mouth and devoured the swarm of krill before it.
A chance!
Reacting quickly, Chen Yu accelerated toward the blue whale and cut off the plasma engine just before reaching it. And under the gaze of over 800,000 viewers, the blue whale devoured both Chen Yu and the cooked krill around him.
[I cant believe what Im seeing right now]
[Madman.]
[Madman. +1]
[Youre too damned crazy.]
[Shocking news: A certain livestreamer earns millions a day by getting eaten live.]
[Are you able to get out?]
[Sister-in-law! Im inside your stomach!]
[My scalp went numb from watching this]
A few seconds later, the blue whale closed its mouth, and the world around Chen Yu plunged into darkness.
Dragged by the water current, Chen Yu found the world around him spinning, his body repeatedly slamming against the interior of the whales mouth. Only after he had tightly grabbed onto a piece of meat with both hands did he stabilize himself.
Immediately, he turned on his helmets searchlight and observed his surroundings. Afterward, he gestured a 6 to the camera.
[Awesome!]
[66666.]
[6]
[UP, stop showing off.]
[Can someone come save this lunatic?]
[696969]
After the plasma engine is turned off, the protective suits special material will rapidly cool down. The surrounding seawater will also help with heat dissipation, so everyone doesnt need to worry about the suit bringing harm to the whale.
After saying so, Chen Yu started using the muscles in the whales mouth as footholds to climb toward the throat.
Thisum.
While standing on the whales meaty tongue, Chen Yu stretched his hand into the whales throat, which was no more than 30 centimeters in diameter, and fell silent.
The whales throat is actually so small? Aside from noodles, what else could it possibly eat?
Chen Yu reached out to grab a handful of live krill that were struggling in the whales meaty folds and tossed them into the whales throat. Afterward, he turned around and climbed back to where he came from.
As everyone can see, despite my wishes, the whales throat is unexpectedly small. I have no choice but to cancel our tour of the whales stomach.
When the blue whale eventually opened its mouth again to devour another swarm of krill, Chen Yu swiftly accelerated and slipped out along the whales lips.
Mmmm
Accompanied by the blue whales humming, the massive figure gradually disappeared from Chen Yus and the audiences view.
The ocean truly is mystifying. It is actually capable of giving birth to such a huge mammal, Chen Yu commented, sighing. Whats even more mystifying is that its throat is only 30 centimeters wide
[Hahaha.]
[No comment.]
[The water pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is terrifying. UP, dont get yourself killed.]
[Will we get to see SpongeBob?]
Lets not waste any more time. Ill accelerate straight into the deepest part of the trench and see the world there.
Hiss Hiss
Chen Yu restarted the plasma engine, and under an even stronger thrust, he plunged straight to the bottom of the ocean. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the darkness of the ocean.
At the same time, the five livestream rooms became flooded with bullet comments. The majority of the spectating audience also unconsciously held their breaths as they stared at their screens growing darkness.
Two thousand meters.
Three thousand meters.
Four thousand meters
When Chen Yu dove down to a depth of 5,000 meters, he could finally see his goal.
The thing before him was a slope that seemingly stretched infinitely downwards. Meanwhile, at the end of this slope was none other than the Mariana Trenchs deepest part.
According to the data the protective suit provided, Im currently 5,133 meters below sea level. The water pressure here is already at a terrifying level. If I remove any part of my protective suit now, seawater would flood into the suit and crush me into meat paste within milliseco- Crap!
Before Chen Yu could finish his narration, a gigantic white figure suddenly flashed before his eyes and nearly scaring him into cardiac arrest.
The massive figure belonged to a strange creature with a length exceeding one meter. Its whole body was translucent, and its mouth section was densely packed with sharp teeth. It also had a pair of jet-black eyeballs that frequently turned in various directions. Overall, the creature had an appearance that made one subconsciously feel disgusted.
Shining the searchlight onto the creature, Chen Yu could even see the pink organs inside the creatures body
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Why did you shout so loudly for?! You scared the heck out of me]
[What is this abomination?]
[Thanks, UP. I now have ideas for my graduation thesis.]
[Greetings, host. Im the representative of Americas Tyler Studio. Can we use your video material in our movie? Ive already sent you a private message for further discussions.]
[My curiosity]
After the strange fish made a circle around Chen Yu, it gracefully swam away.
Hu
Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh of relief as he watched the strange fishs disappearing figure. He then continued accelerating down the slope
The deep sea was dark, cold, and silent.
Fortunately, the high-intensity water pressure did not put too much of a burden on the protective suit.
This proved that in the distant 24th century, humans had already thoroughly conquered the deep seas. They might have even constructed buildings on the seabed to collect the abundant resources available there.
As Chen Yu continued diving deeper, the types of fish his searchlight illuminated became increasingly stranger.
Of these strange fishes, some were known to Chen Yu. For example, there was the soft and translucent glass octopus and the ferocious-looking lanternfish
However, there were also fishes that even the livestreams 800,000 viewers had no knowledge of whatsoever.
At this time, numerous deep-sea researchers also joined the livestream and started recording Chen Yus findings
When Chen Yu dove to a depth of 8,400 meters, the protective suits temperature sensor started giving off warnings.
The temperature of the seawater here has increased. It is at least 200 degrees Celsius. However, due to the water pressure, the water isnt boiling. There is definitely a volcano down there.
Chen Yu excitedly rubbed his palms together in this situation. He immediately accelerated his dive, and within half a minute of following the faint red glow he saw, he located a volcanic crack.
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Chen Yu grabbed onto the crack and forcefully pried it open. He then reached out to touch the scorching magma found within the crack.
He had fully demonstrated how fearless humans could become when under the protection of impunity
After stirring the magma for some time, Chen Yu further widened the crack and jumped in. While laying in the magma, he earnestly said, Magma is unexpectedly soft and comfortable to the touch. I doubt anyone watching has ever tested this before. However, I have to advise everyone against trying this.
The audience:
Chapter 130 - Government’s Action…
Chapter 130 C Governments Action
The magma is very soft, but please dont try touching it, everyone.
[Only you can.]
[Only you can. +1]
[Are there creatures living in magma as well?]
Restarting the plasma engine and jumping out of the volcanic crack, Chen Yu rubbed off the cooling magma on his body and resumed his journey to the Mariana Trenchs bottom.
Three minutes later, he finally arrived at the bottom.
Bending down, Chen Yu reached out to grab a handful of gray sand. He then faced the camera and said, My helmets display shows that I am currently 10,943 meters below sea level. I have already reached the Mariana Trenchs lowest point. If I continue advancing, I might reach deeper places, but that is simply a waste of time.
First, let me talk about my subjective feelings. I feel highly uncomfortable. It feels as if I have been exiled from the world. If I remain here for a long time, I might very well go crazy. If someone tries to build a prison here in the future, I swear that it will definitely be a good idea.
Moving on, the sand here feels sticky and soft like snot; its somewhat disgusting. I can also hear a sound resembling a cows mooing sounds. I dont know what creature is making this sound, but listening to it makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable.
One thing worth mentioning is that the water pressure here is at least 1,000 atmospheric pressure. If a person lies down here without any protection, theyll become flatter than if they were to go through a hydraulic press.
After finishing his narration, Chen Yu continued walking around the ocean floor for a little while longer. He also grabbed a few strange creatures and displayed them to the camera, allowing the biologists watching to record them. Once he felt that he had done enough, he revved the engine to full power and shot back to the oceans surface at full thrust!
However, due to seawater being much denser than the atmosphere, it took him a full one minute to ascend the 11,000-meter distance and shoot out of the water.
Im out.
While hovering in the air, Chen Yu faced his back to the camera and removed both his helmet and headgear. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, I think I wont ever revisit the deep sea in this life. I wonder how the viewers with a deep-sea phobia are faring right now?
After resting for half a minute, he put on his headgear and helmet once more and raised his attitude. He then flew back toward Mount Tai.
Thats it for our Earth exploration. If we wish to further test this protective suits performance, we need to visit more extreme environments.
And that is outer space.
While flying, Chen Yu pointed into the sky and said, Until 2020, humans have, at most, left their footprints on the moon. Today, I will bring everyone around the solar system and witness the areas we have never discovered before.
The true review has just begun.
[UP, fly into space and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.]
[My whole family has snacks and drinks prepared.]
[Haha, despite my dad saying your livestream is a result of special effects, he cant let go of his phone.]
[Im a student at Beijing Universitys Department of Astronomy. My professor suddenly called me to watch this livestream, and I have to say that my worldview is close to collapsing right now. Is the host an alien?]
[UP! Government officials have surrounded your portal. Im looking at them through a telescope on top of a nearby mountain.]
[The host is going to become famous]
During Chen Yus monotonous flight back to Mount Tai, the liveliness in the five livestream rooms bullet comment section did not weaken at the slightest. On the contrary, as more viewers joined the livestream, the liveliness also continuously increased.
As Chen Yu was flying at over 70 kilometers above sea level, the air was very thin. This allowed him to fly at a speed exceeding 5,000 kilometers per hour.
Meanwhile, looking down from this height, the Earth looked very much like a ball
Seventeen minutes later, Chen Yu arrived at his destination. Immediately, he reduced his speed and started descending.
When he was less than 2,000 meters from the ground, he quickly noticed that a dense crowd of people and military helicopters currently surrounded his portal.
The nearest mountainside viewing platform was even crowded with hundreds of tourists.
Um
Chen Yu fell into deep thought as he hovered in mid-air.
[Your base got raided while you were out flexing.]
[Joyously spreading flowers.]
[I wonder if UPs protective suit is bulletproof?]
[Nice! You can test the suits bulletproof ability now!]
[Charge! For the Alliance!]
After pondering for a long time, Chen Yu gradually descended, moving past the hovering helicopters and landing on the ground under numerous police officers cautious gaze.
After the officers exchanged glances with each other, a middle-aged officer stepped forward and respectfully saluted Chen Yu. Hello, Mr. K-King. I I am the Chief of Operations of Taian Citys Police Department. We are here to prevent tourists from touching the Interstellar Portal. Please dont misunderstand.
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu said, I didnt misunderstand. Thank you for your help.
The officers tense spirit immediately loosened significantly at Chen Yus answer. He then continued, Mr. King, may I ask if
Dont ask. Chen Yu raised his hand and interrupted the other partys question. Im in the middle of my review. Your appearance isnt part of my program, so please dont interfere with my livestream.
The surrounding officers immediately grew serious, and the atmosphere tensed up once more.
The leading officer understood that Chen Yu was expressing his refusal to make contact with the government. With a gloomy look, he took a few steps back and said, Very well. We will cooperate.
Thank you.
Now that he had a voice changer equipped, Chen Yu was no longer afraid of his real voice getting discovered. Facing the camera, he ignored the surrounding crowd and said, Im sure old audiences will be very familiar with this portal. To recap, this portal allows one to freely travel to any location within the solar system. Next, we will be relying on this portals assistance to travel around the solar system and experience the extreme environments available on the various planets and even stars.
Widen your eyes and hold in your pee. This next scene is destined to go down in human history, and everyone watching this livestream will be a witness.
After saying so, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and called up the solar systems holographic map. He then initiated the spatial link.
Ohh!
Seeing this, the several professionals nearby excitedly focused their cameras and thoroughly recorded Chen Yus every action.
Om!
Ten seconds later, the spatial link was established. A black and white world then appeared inside the metal arch.
That, was the moon.
[My! Freaking! God!]
[I suddenly got excited.]
[Go in quickly!]
[Plant a flag! Plant a flag! Dont forget to plant a flag!]
[Spread the red flag across the entire solar system!]
[Watching this livestream has given me epilepsy.]
[Today is a joyous day. Ill die to liven things up.]
[Despite standing in the enemy camp, the host remains unfazed. Amazing.]
[Fool, I reported you! Your mothers the one belonging to the enemy camp!]
[My son still cant write]
Ha
Gazing at the moon on the other side of the portal, Chen Yu could not help but smirk in excitement. Just as he was about to step through the portal, however
Mr. K-King! P-Please, wait!
The leading middle-aged officer suddenly called out to Chen Yu with his forehead covered in sweat. Gritting his teeth and ignoring his superiors command to not go any further than necessary, he shouted, Please wait!
Chen Yus legs paused, and the smile inside his helmet disappeared. Turning around, he quietly stared at the other party and flatly asked, Didnt you agree to cooperate with my livestream? Do you have any more business?
C-Can you Summoning up his courage, the officer pointed at a helicopter above and said, Can you bring our astronauts with you?
Thud!
After saying so, the middle-aged officer made a sharp bow and pleaded, Please bring them!
Astronauts?
Chen Yu looked up in surprise. He immediately noticed four young men and two large boxes rapidly descending from a helicopter that had just arrived.
Boom!
Boom!
After landing on the ground, the four young men quickly opened the boxes with trembling hands. First, they took out a large red flag. Afterward, they each pulled out a bulky spacesuit and wore it under the surrounding crowds help.
Um
Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
You guys really know how to take action
Chapter 131 - Jackpot!
Chapter 131 C Jackpot!
With both arms wrapped around his chest, Chen Yu leaned against the Interstellar Portal. He watched the police officers and astronauts working in haste. He then said, Dont panic. Slow down. No rush
Mr. K-King, on behalf of Taian City, I would like to thank you for your assistance, the middle-aged police officer said as he deeply bowed to Chen Yu once more.
Dont mention it. Chen Yu waved his hand casually. Straightening his body, he asked, It seems youre done suiting up?
Were ready.
The four astronauts each grabbed a corner of one of the two large boxes. And under the support of over 20 police officers, they arduously walked up to Chen Yu.
Lowering his head, Chen Yu looked at his own protective suit before turning to look at the bulky and clumsy spacesuits the four astronauts were wearing. He then faced the camera and said, Do you see this? This is the progress of technology.
[Can you have some humanity?!]
[At least those spacesuits are enough to survive on the moon.]
[Im very curious to find out what will be reported in tomorrows newspaper.]
[Cheers to our aerospace industrys breakthrough! (Doge face)]
Ill enter first. You guys follow afterward.
Straightening himself, Chen Yu scanned the surrounding crowd before taking a step onto the moon.
The instant he stepped through the arch, both sound and gravity disappeared simultaneously. For a moment, Chen Yu even felt as if he could fly just by waving his arms.
As everyone can see, I have ascended to the moon, and it feels quite honestly.
After saying so, Chen Yu leaped forward and effortlessly crossed a distance of five meters. While he was still in mid-air, he turned to face the camera and explained, This place is the Sea of Tranquility, located on the equator of the moons front. As to why I chose this place, Im sure everyone knows why, even without my explanation.
This place, is none other than the landing point of Americas 1969 Moon Landing Program.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned the camera angle downwards.
Immediately, what entered the cameras sight was none other than Americas national flag lying flat on one of the moons numerous craters.
Out of Americas numerous moon exploration programs, this was also the only national flag that the country had failed to install correctly. The flag got blown out of position when the lunar module took off
However, despite 50 years having gone by, the flag remained mostly intact.
Whoosh!
Activating the plasma engine, Chen Yu gradually descended toward the flag and started observing it together with his 900,000 viewers.
There have always been two major questions about Americas landing on the moon. First, how can the flag flutter? Reaching out and grabbing the flag, Chen Yu explained, Can you see it? The flag isnt fluttering at all. As to why it can remain unfolded, it is because of this steel bar hanging on top of the flag. Um
After giving the support bar a squeeze, Chen Yu raised his thumb and said, Amazing! Its really a steel bar! Yet, the ones that set up this flag didnt even bother to straighten it! Their actions are even more perfunctory than when Im hanging my clothes to dry!
After saying so, Chen Yu manipulated the pulse engine to accelerate forward by a few meters before landing on the moons surface on his feet. After landing, he raised one of his feet and looked down.
A striped footprint could be clearly seen at the location where his foot initially stepped on.
Next, lets talk about the second question. Many people say that the moon lacks moisture, so how can a footprint solidify? Well, can you see my footprint? It solidified.
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu said, The ground is covered in lunar dust. Without rain or wind, the footprints you leave behind naturally wouldnt disappear. Hence, there is no need to doubt the validity of Americas moon landing. It is real.
Fifty years ago, the moon landings one billion spectators did not doubt it.
Of the 300,000 engineers involved in the Apollo moon-landing project, none of them doubted the landing.
Back then, even the Soviets did not doubt the moon landing as their Luna 15 was right above the Apollo 11 astronauts.
In the past 50 years, countless experts and scholars worldwide have conducted Lunar Laser Ranging experiments and lunar earthquake analyses, and none of these people have ever questioned the moon landing!
In 2012, even our own countrys Change-2 has captured images showing the remains of Americas moon landing. Hence, there really is no reason to doubt the moon landing event.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned around and looked at the four astronauts that had just walked through the Interstellar Portal. He then continued, Moreover, according to my knowledge, the Apollo navigation computer used back then didnt even have a decent CPU. It had only a little more than 4,000 integrated circuits, and its memory is only four kilobytes. Even if we include NASAs mainframe computer, the total memory would only be around one megabyte.
With just four thousand ICs and one megabyte of storage, the Americans have completed the moon landing, further proving humans endless potential.
Hah
After subconsciously sighing, Chen Yu revved up the engine and flew toward the four astronauts.
As for the American flag lying flat on the ground
Who cares?
Not him, thats for sure
Hey, what are you guys doing?
After arriving before the astronauts, Chen Yu noticed the group eagerly taking out various tools and instruments from the big box they carried over. They then started setting up equipment, installing sensors, digging, collecting samples, and conducting on-site testing and data transmission.
When one of the astronauts noticed Chen Yus arrival through the corner of his eyes, he hurriedly turned around and took out a flag from the box. The astronaut then solemnly handed the flag to Chen Yu.
Uh. Chen Yu accepted the flag in a daze. He stretched out a finger and pointed at his own nose after a moment, asking, Me?
As the astronaut was unable to nod his head due to the spacesuit, he could only awkwardly bend his waist a few times.
Um Nice.
While holding onto the flag, Chen Yu had the faint feeling that he had been caught in a ploy. However, he did not feel opposed to it. Instead, he happily accepted the red flag, found a proper location, and forcefully inserted it into the ground!
The flag, stood still.
As the red flag unfolded, it looked especially dazzling compared to the stars and stripes lying a dozen meters away.
[66666!]
[Awesome! Great! I support! We have hope!]
[Ah This feels awesome]
[Im brimming with the desire to live now.]
[Ready! Sing! Me and my motherland.]
[Weve contracted this moon now. :)]
[I just joined. The special effects look so real. Amazing. Im subscribing.]
[Newcomers dont comment. Youre an embarrassment.]
Patting off the non-existent dust on his hands, Chen Yu took a few steps back and nodded in satisfaction. While this is a small action of mine, it is a massive action for the human race. Not bad.
After seeing Chen Yu planting the flag, the astronaut took out a piece of cardboard and a special black pen and clumsily wroteThank you.
Youre welcome.
Afterward, Chen Yu grabbed the cardboard and pen and wrote two lines beneath the words Thank you.
When will you guys be done? Do you have enough oxygen? Let me know when youre ready to return.
The astronaut was stunned by Chen Yus words. With his trembling right hand, he wrote on the cardboard, We can go back?!
Chen Yu was similarly stunned. Picking up the pen, he wrote, You dont want to go back?
Want! Want! Want!
The astronaut never thought that Chen Yu would wait for them to return. With great excitement, the astronaut hurriedly relayed this piece of news to his three colleagues.
In the next moment, the three other astronauts went crazy and started hugging each other for half a minute. Afterward, they started working with even greater haste.
After setting up all their equipment and transmitting a message back to Earth, the four astronauts each took out a small shovel and frantically filled the now-empty box with lunar dust and rocks.
While filling the box, the four also fanatically mumbled to themselves.
Jackpot
Jackpot
Jackpot
Jackpot!
Simultaneously, the hundreds of people sitting inside a certain space command center back on Earth were also wildly cheering in their hearts.
Jackpot!
Jackpot!
Jackpot
Chapter 132 - Diving into Venus…
Chapter 132 C Diving into Venus
The four astronauts worked continuously for over 20 minutes. Just as their oxygen supply was running out, they carried the big box up to Chen Yu and bowed.
Initially, they had come on this mission with the thought of never returning in mind. They had never once thought that Transdimensional Reviews UP would willingly delay his livestream and wait for them for nearly half an hour.
After escaping from the jaws of death, they were naturally extremely grateful toward Chen Yu.
Seeing that the astronauts were ready to leave, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, Go on.
After exchanging looks with each other, the four astronauts lugged the box filled with lunar dust and rocks through the Interstellar Portal and left the moon, leaving behind a bunch of electronic equipment that were still running.
At this time, Chen Yu slowly approached the portal and looked at the crowd that was busy sealing samples. He then stretched out his hand toward the portal and said to the camera, The ones on Earth, toss 10 small red flags to me.
Several police officers that were earnestly watching the livestream hurriedly notified their superiors of Chen Yus demand. And in no time at all, a bunch of red flags got tossed through the portal.
Bending down, Chen Yu picked up the flags and placed it in the temporary storage box located on his backplate. He then disconnected the spatial link.
Simultaneously, the arch back on Earth disappeared without a trace.
Friends in the livestream rooms, I sincerely apologize for this small delay. Now, let us resume the livestream.
Aside from the absence of air and the abundance of cosmic radiation, the moons environment cannot be considered extreme
While Chen Yu was midway through his sentence, a meteorite suddenly fell from the dark sky and smashed into the moons surface, the impact causing the ground Chen Yu stood on to tremble slightly.
Fine, then. Aside from the absence of air, the presence of cosmic radiation, and the falling meteorites, the moons environment isnt exactly extreme. And honestly, my main goal of coming here is simply to satisfy my dream of stepping on the moon.
Now that Ive fulfilled that dream, let us move on to our second stop in our trip through the solar systemMercury.
Let us experience the suns terror up close!
After saying so, Chen Yu called out the solar systems hologram and established a spatial link to the surface of Mercury.
Immediately, space within the metal arch distorted. A short moment later, a silent and lifeless world similar to the moon appeared beyond the arch. Compared to the moon, though, this world was significantly brighter.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu calmed himself and looked back at the partially bright and partially dark Earth. He then stepped through the portal.
Bright!
Bright!!
Bright!!!
The instant Chen Yu stepped onto Mercury, he immediately felt a mild sting in his eyes. His body also felt a lot heavier.
If not for his helmet automatically cutting off a large portion of the light shining at him, he mightve gone blind already.
So, this is Mercury.
Facing the camera and gesturing an OK sign, Chen Yu explained, The protective suit has just notified me that my surrounding temperature exceeds 400 degrees Celsius. However, it is still far from reaching the suits thermal insulation limit, so there is no need to worry.
Let me give you a brief introduction. In ancient China, the planet Mercury is calledis called thesomething. Well, dont mind it. Similar to Earth, Mercury is one of the four terrestrial planets found in our solar system. It is also the closest planet located to the sun.
How close is it?
Smirking, Chen Yu slowly shifted the camera to face directly toward the sun.
In the next moment, a massive fireball filled the screens of the livestreams 900,000 viewers!
[You just blinded my dog eyes.]
[I suddenly gained a phobia of large objects.]
[This is too frightening]
[Spectacular!]
[Thank you for sharing this scene while I am still alive, UP.]
[UP, wont you melt if you dont have your armor?]
[He wont melt, but he will burn.]
[Thats over 400 degrees! Hell be ready to eat in just a few minutes.]
[Why not visit Mercury at night?]
[You go there at night, then]
[The temperature of Mercurys night side is minus 150 degrees.]
After waiting for the audience to get their fill of looking at the sun, Chen Yu shut his eyes and slowly turned toward the sun as well. Three seconds later, his eyes suddenly opened, and gave himself a shock!
Beautiful!
Spreading his arms and giving the massive fireball before him a hug, Chen Yu suddenly had an inexplicable impulse that he could not suppress. Simultaneously, his nose also started becoming stuffy.
How great the universe was.
And how humble a human being was.
At this moment, aside from himself, nobody else could understand the feeling in his heart.
This was the instinctive respect a carbon-based creature held toward the magnificent universe.
In the meantime, over one-third of the audience watching the livestream chosen to take a screenshot and record the image of a human hugging the majestic sun.
Today, human history had finally gained a new entry
Friends, I feel regretful.
After some time passed, Chen Yu lowered his arms and sighed. I feel regretful that only I can enjoy this magnificent and unique moment.
Whats even more regrettable is that I will be visiting Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and maybe even discover alien lifeforms by myself. You, on the other hand, can only watch from afar.
What a pity
[Jealousy, transforms my face beyond recognition.]
[Jealousy, turns my mouth and eyes crooked.]
[Youre going to lose us if you continue like that]
[Crossdress to apologize!]
[Go to the sun! Go to the sun!]
[UP, I am the Astronomical Institutes director. Can you enter Mercury to collect video data?]
[Dont waste your energy. The UP doesnt read bullet comments.]
Turning around, Chen Yu walked back to the Interstellar Portal and called up the virtual solar system. He then established a spatial link to his third stop.
Following the planetary order, our next stop will be Venus. The environment there is even more extreme, so we will speed up our review. Before that, though
Letting his words trail off, Chen Yu retrieved a small red flag from his backplates storage box. He then thrust the flag into the ground.
However, immediately, the flag made out of cloth caught fire and rapidly burned away, leaving behind only an iron rod that was growing increasingly redder
Chen Yu: Apologies.
Shrugging, Chen Yu looked up and saw that the Interstellar Portal had finished establishing the spatial link. He then stepped through the portal without hesitation.
Instantly, the world around Chen Yu darkened, and an orange-yellow brilliance enveloped his body.
This is Venus. After turning around and observing his surroundings, Chen Yu could not help but frown. The gravity here is similar to that on Earth. According to the protective suits data, the temperature here is at 465 degrees Celsius, which is higher than even the side of Mercury facing the sun. The atmospheric pressure here is scary as well, reaching up to 90 atmospheres at my current location. Thats almost equivalent to being 1,000 meters deep in the ocean. Oh? It seems its raining here as well?
While saying so, Chen Yu wiped off the rainwater that had fallen on his helmet and observed it. The rainwater is yellow. It should be acid rain. This place is like hell!
Crackle!
A burst of thunder suddenly came from above him!
Immediately, Chen Yu looked up and saw numerous arcs of lightning streaking across the sky, followed by a series of thunders.
My bad. Its not like hell. This place is hell.
[The Planet of Hell.]
[Aunt Venus, is that really you? Youre actually so violent under that orange surface]
[Such thick smoke. UP, breathe it in! Just one breath!]
[Earth is great.]
[Earth is great. +1]
[Venus experiences the most potent greenhouse effect among the planets in the solar system. If you dont care for the Earth now, Earth will eventually become Venus in the future!]
After waiting for the thunderstorm to dissipate, Chen Yu quickly took out a red flag and stabbed it into the ground.
I feel even more uncomfortable here than when I was at the Mariana Trenchs bottom. Lets quickly leave.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the little red flag became scorched under the high temperature and acids corrosion.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu said, Were mainly here to experience the environment. Its fine so long as we get the meaning across
Audience:
Chapter 133 - Penetrating Through the Layers
Chapter 133 C Penetrating Through the Layers
Earth, Jinzhou City, inside a certain conference room
Numerous professionals and scholars, particularly those specializing in astronomy, were currently going crazy inside the room. All of them stared at the screen playing Chen Yus livestream with fervent eyes and rapidly recorded every little detail they saw.
The planets that originally required humanity to gradually explore were now having their details exposed centuries ahead. The excitement they felt from receiving this great blessing caused their bodies to shudder uncontrollably
However, unlike the researchers, the face of the special situation teams middle-aged team leader sitting at the head of the table lacked any excitement whatsoever. Instead, he silently covered his face as he dazedly watched Chen Yu flying freely on the screen.
L-Leader. After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Li lowered his voice and asked, Do you still want to contact Chen Yu?
Lifting his head, the middle-aged team leader quietly stared at Xiao Li for a moment before asking, What if he maintains a tough attitude?
D-didnt you say we would take an even tougher stance?
The middle-aged man did not make a response to Xiao Lis words. After remaining silent for some time, he picked up his satellite phone and walked out of the conference room. He then made a call to his superior.
Hey, team leader, its me.
I have an idea.
Lets plan for the long-term
Chen Yus tour around the solar system was still on-going.
After leaving the hellish Venus, he traveled to Mars.
Mars was a terrestrial planet similar to Earth. The planets surface was mostly covered in sand dunes and plagued by sandstorms. There was no water or life on the surface. His visit to Mars had thoroughly shattered humanitys beautiful illusion of it being Earths sister planet.
After Mars, Chen Yus next stop was the solar systems first gas giantJupiter.
Unlike previous instances, this time, Chen Yu chose to open the portal outside Jupiters atmosphere.
The reason for this was because he heard that Jupiters core temperature exceeded 27,000 degrees Celsius
He feared that if he entered Jupiters core layer, the protective suit might not be able to withstand the extreme temperature and pressure, which would, in turn, lead to his death.
Moreover, if he freefell toward Jupiter from space, not only could he test the protective suits limits, but he could also experience Jupiters environment from all aspects. And in the event he triggered a warning, he could immediately return.
As Chen Yu stepped through the metal arch, the Mars behind him became a thing of the past.
Meanwhile, before him was a magnificent view split between the colors black and yellow.
Black represented the universe.
Yellow represented Jupiter.
While floating in space, Chen Yu found himself unable to tell between up and down, left and right. The experience was a bizarre one.
After Mars, weve come to Jupiter. This place is distant from the sun. How far away exactly, I do not know, but you can see for yourselves.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned the camera toward the distant star.
From his location, the sun looked just like a glowing orange.
At Mercury, the sun is an all-encompassing existence, yet it is insignificantly small at Jupiter. Through this difference, I can intuitively sense just how empty space is.
Now, let us return our focus to Jupiter.
Chen Yu shifted the camera angle once more and relayed Jupiters massive and stunning figure to over a million screens on Earth.
This was a world made of golden-yellow clouds.
Under the planets high-speed rotation, the flowing clouds stretched to form numerous bands that spanned across the planet.
A small portion of these cloud bands also condensed to form unevenly-distributed spots around the planet. Among these spots, the most conspicuous one was none other than Jupiters Great Red Spot!
Well leave the portal here. Next, I will lead everyone on an exploration to a place where humanity had yet to explorebeneath Jupiters cloud layer.
[UP, dont take things too far. I dont want you to die because I love you.]
[Lololol]
[Jupiter is 10 times more terrifying than Venus.]
[If you dont come back, well leave a bad review for the protective suits manufacturer 300 years later.]
[Im at the scene.]
[Jupiter: In a few more decades, theres going to be a kid who will blow me up with a lighter. (Panic)]
[Under that beautiful appearance hides a wretched heart.]
Countdown from 3
2.
1!
After giving his audience a buffer time, Chen Yu activated the plasma engine without hesitation and accelerated toward the Great Red Spot!
Im riding on the wildest horse and pulling the craziest stunt!
Battle music! Start!
Accompanied by Chen Yus charge, Deja Vu started playing in the livestreams background.
Ive just been in this place before.
Higher on the street.
And I know its my time to go
Whizz Whizz
The closer Chen Yu got to Jupiter, the more intense the friction sounds became. In no time at all, Chen Yus helmet, shoulder plates, and leg armor started glowing in bright red
Ten minutes later, Chen Yus body pierced into the white ammonia clouds like an arrow and continued plunging straight toward the Great Red Spot. He looked just like an ant falling into the Pacific Ocean.
I can clearly feel Jupiters terrifying gravitational pull. It is at least twice as strong as Earths. Currently, I am falling at a speed of 7,300 kilometers per hour already.
Struggling to turn his head, Chen Yu looked toward the camera next to him and shouted, I can see flames being produced from the friction between my helmet and the atmosphere. Im also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. The gravity here is truly terrifying. Everyone, make sure not to casually enter Jupiter. You might just end up dying.
[Im already too tired to retort. Host, dont get yourself killed.]
[This youngster, crap.]
[Jupiters gravity field is 2.33 times stronger than Earth, yet UP can still speak like normal. I really wonder whether he is an alien.]
[Since the beginning until now, am I the only one paying attention to the cameraman?!]
The protective suit has just issued another notification. My surrounding temperature is currently at minus 159 degrees Celsius, whereas the armor parts coming into friction with the atmosphere have reached 2,000 degrees Celsius. I really dont know how long humans would need to reach into the inner depths of Jupiter without this protective suit.
While Chen Yu gave his explanation, he slowly penetrated through the ammonia cloud layer and thoroughly entered the Great Red Spot!
The Great Red Spot was a superstorm composed of ammonium hydrosulfide, ammonium sulfide, and a large amount of red phosphate. The Great Red Spots diameter exceeded 20,000 kilometers, and one could fit the entire Earth in it!
However, the Great Red Spot also experienced wind speeds as high as 680 kilometers per hour, so it could also instantly tear Earths natural environment into tatters
As Chen Yu moved increasingly deeper into the scary red clouds, his surroundings also grew increasingly darker.
Thus far, Chen Yu maintained a steady flight thanks to the plasma engines stabilization. Now, however, he had already reached a point where signs of instability had started appearing.
Holding onto his reddish helmet, Chen Yu gradually lowered his speed and explained to the camera, The atmospheric pressure is growing increasingly higher. Its already at four atmospheres at my current position. The temperature is also continuously increasing. Moreover, my surroundings are getting increasingly darker. If not for the protective suit brushing against the air, I wouldnt even be able to see anything This is depressing.
I feel as if I am gradually moving towards death.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise surpassing 200 decibels came from below!
The entire world instantly brightened! Chen Yu even nearly went blind from the sudden light.
As for the lights source, it was a massive bolt of lightning that streaked through the clouds. The lightning arcs length was immeasurable, and its width was at least hundreds of meters! The voltage contained within this single lightning bolt was simply unimaginable
Psh
Pressurizing the plasma engine, Chen Yu abruptly halted his descent. He then assumed a Superman posture and returned to where he came from without hesitation.
Its getting late, so thats it for todays review.
The audience:
Chapter 134 - Why are You Still Standing There? Come at Me!
Chapter 134 C Why are You Still Standing There? Come at Me!
Thats it for todays review. Its time to return to Earth.
After saying so, Chen Yu pushed the plasma engine to its limits and flew straight toward outer space.
[??]
[???]
[I even took y pants off already, yet youre telling me its over?]
[This lousy ending is too much!]
[Restart.]
[Restart. +3]
[Cant you sacrifice yourself for mankinds astronomy progression? Do you know how many people are paying attention to you right now?
[Easier said than done. Are you even sure the protective suit can withstand Jupiters lightning strikes and temperature?]
[The technology and astronomy circles are going crazy right now.]
[Livestreams MVP: Cameraman.]
Due to Jupiters massive gravity field, Chen Yu had flown for 20 minutes straight before returning to the portal.
Looking back at Jupiter with lingering fear, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Sorry, but Im scared. It is still impossible to dive deep into gas giants with only the 24th centurys technology. If I have the opportunity to review an even more advanced protective suit in the future, Ill make up for todays gap.
As for the equally dangerous Saturn, Neptune, and the suns interior, well similarly have to postpone our visit. For now, lets return to Earth.
After saying so, Chen Yu reached out toward the portal and established a spatial link to Earth. After giving Jupiter one last look, he stepped through the portal.
Im back.
Chen Yu stepped on Qingdao Citys soft sandy beach after returning to Earth and experienced the familiar gravitational pull. He then removed his helmet, spread out his arms, and took a deep breath.
Living on Earth truly is a blessing
Sitting down on the beach and propping himself up with his arms, Chen Yu quietly gazed at the blue sea ahead of him. Smiling, he said, Brothers, while our trip around the solar system got stopped at Jupiter, I dont feel much regret.
Jupiter is merely an ordinary gas giant in our small solar system. Above it, there are still stars, binary stars, triple star systems, white dwarfs, neutron stars, supernovas, and even black holes.
Going further, we have the Milky Way, which has a diameter of 100,000 light-years. Outside of the Milky Way, there are galaxy groups. And beyond that, there are superclusters. Finally, there is the universe. And who knows what else is outside of the universe?
Compared to a measly Jupiter, there is a much wider world out there waiting for us to explore. Maybe, as the technological products I receive continuously improve, there would be one day where I can lead everyone to see the truth of the universe
After saying so, Chen Yu stood up and pat off the sand from his butt. He then put on his helmet, started the engine, and flew toward the city center.
He still had an act he needed to put on
Whoosh
Flying at a height beyond ordinary peoples sight, it took Chen Yu less than a minute to reach the Century Tower.
After descending to an altitude of 2,000 meters, he quickly noticed that not only did the university students from before still remained crowded atop the Century Tower, but the crowd had even grown three times in size.
Ouuhhh! UP!
The real deal! Its the real deal!
Hes here! Hes really coming!
Awesome, awesome, awesome
Look over here!
Husband! Look here!
You bitch! Hes my husband!
Hes mine!
Stop arguing! a robust man among the group suddenly bellowed. Hes my husband!
The crowd cheered, jumped, and swayed. It looked as if they were welcoming a grand marshal that had just returned home from a victorious battle.
Hehehe.
Chen Yu couldnt help but grin at this sight. Immediately, though, he lightly coughed twice and tried his best to maintain the image and temperament of a bigshot. He then gradually lowered his altitude and arrived within a dozen meters of the towers rooftop.
UP!!!
A group of female students screamed when they saw Chen Yu approaching them. Some of them even had their eyes rolled back in excitement, their bodies falling to the ground with a thud
Crap! Crap!
Look here!
Awesome
UP! Youre stunningly handsome!
Hes real! Everythings real!
Daddy! Youre my daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Grandpa!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Ouh! Ouh! Ouh!
The crowd of 200 people instantly became a mess. They huddled beneath Chen Yu and frantically waved their arms at him. All of them wore excitement and enthusiasm on their faces.
As students who possessed creative thinking and interest in surrealism, they felt indescribable emotions from seeing future technology appear before their eyes.
King!
King!
King!
King!
King
At some point, the word King started getting mixed into the crowds noisy shouts, and it caused Chen Yu to shiver in delight.
Cough. Calm down.
King!
King!
King!
Calm down.
Looking down at the students as if they were his subjects, Chen Yu loudly said, Everyone, quiet. Be quiet and listen to me.
[This damned Beat the bragging bastard to death!]
[I feel the same.]
[The coolest host in history.]
[Jealousy, makes my mouth rot.]
[You guys are behaving like a cult! Unacceptable! Daddy!]
[Im heading to Qingdao on a plane already. Host, you must wait for me.]
[Im getting too excited. I cant]
[30 seconds left until the cops arrive at the battlefield.]
After the chaotic crowd calmed down, everyone started staring at Chen Yu with unblinking eyes.
Everyone, make some room. Im going to land. Dont crowd around me. The bottom of the suit is very hot. You might get burned.
Come down!
UP! Hurry up and come down!
Can we touch your armor?
Friends, out of the way! Give the UP some space to land!
I love you! I want to give birth to monkeys for you!
After the crowd struggled for some time, they finally managed to open up a five-meter radius space.
To avoid burning anyone with the plasma engines tail flame, Chen Yu simply powered it down mid-air and freefell over a dozen meters.
Boom!
When Chen Yu landed, small cracks formed on the brick roof. The surrounding students also subconsciously took a few steps back as they felt the roof tremble.
Everyone, dont come near me yet.
Stretching out his hand, Chen Yu stopped the surrounding crowd from approaching him. Afterward, he separated the crowd and approached the water tank sitting on the roof. He then grabbed the hose there, turned the valve, and carefully washed every part of his armor.
He had traveled to the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. There might be some harmful substances stuck on his armor, so he needed to clean it.
[Shocking news: A certain livestreamer takes a bath and receives over a million views.]
[Crap. Did UP just become a celebrity?]
[Awesome! I see the police! Theyve surrounded the tower, but they dare not come in!]
[Helicopters have arrived as well.]
[Dammit! They sealed off the Century Tower! I want to go up and take a look!]
[Im standing on a nearby building! I can see the UP from here!]
[Why are you always visiting Qingdao, UP? Dont you know that Beijing is the capital?]
[Dont you know Changan is the old capital?]
[Dont you know Shenzhens economy is developed?]
[Dont you know our Lianhua Village needs you?]
[Hah The rice in my bowl suddenly doesnt taste good anymore]
Clack.
After tightening the valve and tossing away the hose, Chen Yu shook off the water on his body like the husky at home. He then turned toward the students ahead of him, stretched out his hand, and hooked his finger at them.
Why are you still standing there? Come at me!
Ahhhh!
Immediately, the crowd of 200 people dashed forward
Chapter 135 - Official Livestream Ends
Chapter 135 C Official Livestream Ends
After making some simple interactions with his fans and seeing that the number of hovering helicopters nearby was continuously increasing, Chen Yu stopped wasting time and dispersed the crowd.
Friends, please make some space for me.
In response, the gathered people started pushing and squeezing at each other as they struggled to open up an empty space.
Walking to the middle of the empty space, Chen Yu crossed his fingers and made his iconic gesture to the camera. He then summarized, Viewers in the livestream rooms, after conducting this review for the past few hours, it is now time to end it. Thank you, Haqiu Arms Company, for supplying this special protective suit and allowing everyone to catch a glimpse of the eight fascinating planets, even though we only witnessed half of them
Before I end the stream, I have an announcement to make.
Pausing momentarily, Chen Yu turned around and looked back at his vigorous fans. He then continued, Starting from this livestream, I might select one or multiple viewers to test my review products effects. As to how I will conduct my selections, I might choose people from the bullet comments, donations, or even randomly grab someone off the street. I hope everyone will actively participate when that time comes.
Also, all donations I receive will go to helping the global welfare system. I believe that this money should go to people who are more in need of help rather than myself. I will be satisfied so long as I can contribute my meager power to help humanity as a whole.
After saying so, Chen Yu removed his glove and looked at the bullet comments displayed on his watch. Seeing that many people were in support of his actions, he immediately nodded in satisfaction. He then continued, Aside from that, I will also give a small gift to the viewers who take part in conducting reviews with me. They will get to take a group photo with me as a souvenir at the very minimum.
[What?! Pick me!
Pick me, pick me!]
[Im lying on the bed and ready. UP, do as you see fit.]
[This little girl here is 18 years old and unmarried.]
[A bidding war? Heh, my sword is hungry and thirsty.]
[My name is Welfare. Will you send all your donations to me?]
Chen Yus announcement immediately caused the university students behind him to go into an uproar.
UP! Pick me!
Take me with you!
My grandfather has been following you since young! You must pick me!
The crowding students immediately disrupted Chen Yus rhythm. Dont push! Stay back a little! Beautiful ladystop touching me.
Upon seeing the growing chaos, the police officers standing by on the sidelines promptly rushed over to maintain order.
Thank you.
After giving the officers a polite nod, Chen Yu faced the camera, crossed his fingers, and continued his summary, I have felt everyones enthusiasm. However, all good things must come to an end, and Transdimensional Reviews fourth official livestream is about to end.
Today, we have seen how unbelievable technology would become three centuries later. And what is even more unbelievable is that even with such incredible technology, we are still incapable of penetrating deep into a gas giant.
If I have never seen the sun, then I can endure being in the darkness. Since we have seen a wider world now, we will no longer be able to keep ourselves from chasing after the truth.
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu loudly proclaimed, The universe is massive. Lets explore it together in the future.
This is the end of todays review.
Goodbye.
After saying so, Chen Yu ignored the flood of bullet comments and turned off his livestream without hesitation.
Ha Its finally over.
Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh as he put on his glove. He then walked to the edge of the roof, faced the crowd, and extended his index finger and middle finger to his temple. After making a cool salute, he promptly jumped off the roof.
Whoosh!
Chen Yu activated the plasma engine as soon as he started freefalling. Under a trail of dazzling blue flames, he disappeared from the eyes of the crowd.
Rooftop female students: How handsome
Rooftop male students: How cool
Rooftop police officers: Line up! Nobody is allowed to leave!
After passing through the Interstellar Portal and arriving at the island-building ships cabin hall, he immediately noticed Little Peach squatting at a corner. Currently, she wore a dazed look on her face as she held onto Chen Yus phone.
Are you watching my livestream? Removing his gloves and helmet, Chen Yu smiled as he approached Little Peach. How was it? Todays livestream is something, right?
I dont know. Looking up with a blank expression, Little Peach said, Theres no signal in the deep sea.
Chen Yu:
Hah I feel so lonely, not being able to livestream together with Mr. Chen.
Dont feel lonely. Today is a happy day. Ill treat you to a meal, Chen Yu said. He then approached the protective suits maintenance pod, opened the hatch, and entered it.
Hiss Hiss
The hatched closed, and the pod started releasing an unknown disinfectant into the cabin. Afterward, two mechanical arms started agilely taking apart the protective suits armor platings.
[Damage: 1.3%]
[Vital gas remaining: 94%]
[Estimated repair time: 4 minutes 21 seconds]
After taking off the purple protective clothing, Chen Yu exited the maintenance pod and headed to the ships swimming pool to take a bath. He then changed into a set of his usual attire and approached the Interstellar Portal.
What do you want to eat? Which countrys dishes?
Mr. Chen, you should know that I cannot eat, right?
I know. You didnt eat when we went to Florence last time.
Why are you inviting me for a meal, then?
Because I want to eat.
By the time Chen Yu and Little Peach returned to the bedroom, the time was already half past two in the afternoon. However, the house was strangely quiet.
Did everyone go out?
Opening the door and walking out of his bedroom, Chen Yu found that, contrary to his expectations, every member of his family was home. Currently, though, they were all seated in the living rooms sofas and quietly staring at each other.
Meanwhile, obediently sitting in the middle of the living room was none other than the husky, a look of despair on its face
Um
Sensing the strange atmosphere in the living room, Chen Yu tried to backtrack. Unfortunately, he was already too late.
Chen Yu, what were you doing in your room? You didnt respond even after all that knocking. And here I thought you werent home.
Ah I was sleeping.
Sleeping, huh? Mother Chen chuckled. She then beckoned Chen Yu, Come, Chen Yu. Come over here.
Mom, whats the matter? Deciding to bite the bullet, Chen Yu walked into the living room and pointed at the husky in surprise, Crap? Where did the dog come from?!
Stop acting, Father Chen, who sat beside Mother Chen, said as he took a sip of his tea. My three baby girls have exposed you already.
E-exposed what?
Chen Yu! Why did you secretly raise a dog without our consent? Mother Chen asked with a stern look. Dont you know dogs are dirty and are covered in bacteria? What if your three little sisters get scratched by it?
Huh?! Chen Yu turned to look at his three little sisters in disbelief.
Simultaneously, Chen Yike, Erke, and Sanke turned away and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Chen Yike: Its snowing again.
Chen Erke: Yeah, yeah.
Chen Sanke: Yeah.
Your sisters have already told us. Pointing at the husky, Mother Chen said, No matter how they tried to persuade you, you stubbornly insisted on raising it.
N-No! This isnt my dog! Angrily glaring at his three little sisters, Chen Yu demanded, What the hell did you guys say?! Do you know what honesty is?!
Chen Yike: Big Brother, just admit it.
Chen Erke: Lying is bad.
Chen Sanke: One plus one is two, two plus three is six
Mom. Returning his gaze to Mother Chen, Chen Yu asked, You rather believe them than me?
If youre not the one raising it, why did you keep it inside your room? Mother Chen asked, her arms akimbo, and her chin raised in delight.
After scratching his numbed scalp, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Fine. Ill come clean, then. I raised this dog so that I can treat everyone to a delicious meal. Ive even learned how to properly cook it these past few days. Ill show you my skills now.
The husky abruptly raised its head: ?
Chapter 136 - Tit for Tat (1)
Chapter 136 C Tit for Tat (1)
Ill show you my skills now.
After saying so, Chen Yu grabbed the husky by its scruff and dragged it toward the kitchen.
Awooo!
The husky widened its eyes in fright, and it started struggling desperately. Awoo Awoooo
Brother! What are you doing?!
Chen Yike and Chen Erke immediately rushed forward upon seeing Chen Yus actions, each of them grabbing one of the huskys hind legs.
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke still remained seated on the sofa and was earnestly fiddling with her fingers. Three plus four is seven, seven plus three is fifteen, fifteen butter biscuits havehavethirty-two holes
What are you doing? Turning around, Chen Yu looked at his two little sisters in confusion. Let go of my dog.
Its not your dog! Chen Erke shouted angrily. You cant eat it!
Didnt you say its my dog?
Its not yours! Its my dog! Let go of it!
Hearing this, Chen Yu loosened his grip and looked toward his parents. Shrugging, he said, Second Dummy admitted it.
Hmph! Chen Erke tightly hugged the husky and pouted.
Chen Yu, you shouldnt scare your sister, Mother Chen berated after a moment of silence. Your little sisters are just afraid youll harm the little animal. In my opinion, this dog is yours!
Chen Yus expression gradually became subtle. Oh I see. I understand. Is your investment doing well? Do you need more funds? Is an extra 10,000 enough?
Yes! Mother Chen stood up decisively. Rolling up her sleeves, she walked into the kitchen while saying, You cant just feed dog food to a dog; its not healthy. Ill cook some proper food for it now. Send that 10,000 to my WeChat. Oh, right, since you all dont have school tomorrow, take the dog out to get a vaccine shot now.
Chen Yu:
Ten minutes later, the Chen familys four young masters left home.
With Chen Sankes hand in his right hand and the huskys leash in his left hand, Chen Yu walked into the elevator.
Big Brother, Im sorry, Chen Yike fawningly apologized to Chen Yu while pulling Chen Erke into the elevator. Big Brother, your standing at home is high now. To avoid getting scolded, we had no choice but to say that you were the one raising the dog. Im sorry!
While apologizing, Chen Yike also stretched out her hands to massage Chen Yus shoulders, her movements extremely gentle.
As for Chen Erke, she hugged onto Chen Yus legs and rubbed her face against his thighs, Big Brother is the best. I love Big Brother
Its useless, I tell you! Ill have my revenge for this!
Chen Yu remained unfazed at his little sisters apologies. Sneering, he tossed the leash to Chen Erke and said, Take it! Its your dog!
At this time, Chen Sanke finally snapped out of her daze. Realizing that her hand was being grabbed, she tilted her head in confusion.
Meanwhile, after receiving the leash, Chen Erke stretched her finger into her mouth and stirred it around. Afterward, she rubbed her saliva-covered finger on the corner of her eyes and sobbed, saying, Uu Im sorry, please forgive me
Can you at least put some effort into it?
Ding!
As the elevator arrived at the bottom floor, the four walked out of the apartment complex and arrived at the roadside.
Just as Chen Yu was about to hail for a taxi, Chen Yike advised him, The vet isnt that far away. Lets just walk. Itll be too crowded if we take a taxi.
I agree, Chen Erke said, raising her hand. Its snowing as well. We can have a snowball fight when we pass by the park.
Snow is fun! Chen Erkes eyes glowed at Chen Erkes words, and she brandished her hands around in excitement. War!
Arent you guys cold? Chen Yu also could not help but grow a little eager upon hearing the words snowball fight.
Third Eldest, are you cold? Yike and Erke asked Sanke simultaneously.
Im not cold, Chen Sanke replied as she patted her plump down jacket. Im wearing a hat as well. Im not cold.
Okay, lets walk, then, Chen Yu decided.
At this time, a taxi stopped near them, and the driver lowered the window, asking, You waved just now? Where are you headed?
Turning to look at the driver, Chen Yu asked, I called you for a snowball fight. Want to join?
Are you crazy?! The driver cursed as he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Lets go!
Chen Yu waved his hand and led his three little sisters to the nearby park with a majestic air. However, after walking a short distance, he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort. Turning around, he looked toward the direction of his home.
Whats wrong? Chen Yike asked puzzled.
Mm, Im going back to grab something. Wait for me. After giving some thought, Chen Yu left Chen Sanke to Chen Yike and ran back toward the apartment.
He ran into the house in less than five minutes, greeted his parents, and entered his bedroom while panting.
Mr. Chen? When Little Peach, who was currently sitting before the study table and writing codes, heard the noise, she immediately turned to look at Chen Yu. Whats wrong?
Huff Panting, Chen Yu leaned against the wall to catch his breath. He then scanned Little Peach for a moment before smiling and asking, Are you afraid of the cold?
Im not.
Stop coding. Ill give you a holiday and take you out to play.
Play? Little Peach was delightfully surprised.
Yeah. Chen Yu nodded. He then manipulated the Interstellar Portals console and established a spatial link with a hidden grove inside Jinzhou City Park. After opening the door, he said, Go in. Wait for me in the parks small square. Well pretend as if we dont know each other, and Ill ask you to join in our snowball fight.
Wah! (*^^*) Little Peach cheered and rushed in. Long live Mr. Chen!
Wait. Put on a jacket and a pair of shoes first. There are some beneath the bed.
Okay!
After getting Little Peach ready, Chen Yu went downstairs and caught up with his three little sisters. Grabbing Chen Sankes hand again, he said, Lets go to the park. However, you can only play for an hour. Otherwise, the vets going to close.
Brother, what did you bring?
I brought my conscience.
After the Chen familys four young masters walked for 10 minutes or so, they arrived at Jinzhou Citys Peoples Park.
Many children and adults could already be seen building snowmen and having snowball fights inside the park.
Hahaha!
Exploding with joy, Chen Sanke promptly dashed toward a small snowman with her chubby legs. However, as she was too thickly dressed, she ended up tripping herself and falling into the densely packed snow.
Lets build a snowman! Chen Yike cheered.
No! Lets have a snowball fight! Chen Erke suggested.
Building snowmen is boring. Lets have a snowball fight first. Chen Yu agreed with Erkes suggestion.
Lets all attack Big Brother! Chen Erke bent down, grabbed a lump of soft snow, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it at Chen Yus head.
Poof.
The ball of snow shattered after hitting its target.
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke pulled herself out of the snow and licked the snow stuck to her lips. She then held up a small snowball and threw it at Chen Yu with all her strength. However, as she used too much strength, she ended up falling back into the snow once more
Chen Sanke: Hahaha! This is fun!
Its my turn. Chen Yu also bent down, grabbed a big bundle of snow, kneaded it into a snowball, and aimed it at Chen Erke.
Seeing this, Chen Erke immediately turned around and fled. W-Wait! Yours is too big
Poof!
The giant snowball hit Chen Erkes back and sent her faceplanting into the ground.
I win.
N-Not fair! Chen Erker complained as she stood back up. Your hands are too big! Lets both stockpile ammunition for now and fight to the death in a moment.
No problem!
Big Sis, Third Eldest, come help me.
Quickly, the four siblings split into two teams and started busily making snowballs.
Three minutes later, Chen Erke raised a basketball-sized snowball, and delightfully said, Lets begin!
Okay.
Chen Yu also raised the snowball he prepared.
Unlike Chen Erkes, however, his snowball had at least a one-meter diameter
W-Wait N-No Chen Erke immediately turned around in a panic and tried to run. Y-Youre cheati-Ah!
Poof!
The gigantic snowball flew through the air and thoroughly drowned Chen Erke in snow
At the same time, inside a multi-story building several dozen meters away, an Asian man slowly put down his binoculars and blankly said, The suspect actually came here, but there are too many people nearby. Im not sure if there are any plainclothes. This is a little tricky.
Are you sure its him? the Asian woman sitting beside the man asked.
Im not sure, but he is one of the several dozen suspected targets. Im going to probe him. Remain hidden here.
Shouldnt we go according to plan and take action when he goes to school tomorrow?
Lets not wait any longer. Well go now, the Asian man said as he stood up without hesitation. If I fall into danger, ignore me. Your priority is to get the information out.
We Clenching her fists, the woman muttered, Once the mission is over
What?
N-Nothing Be careful.
Mhm.
The man then turned around and left
Chapter 137 - : Tit for Tat (2)
Chapter 137: Tit for Tat (2)
Chapter 137 C Tit for Tat (2)
In the Peoples Parks square, the phone of a middle-aged man accompanying a child suddenly rang.
Squinting his eyes, the man fluidly grabbed his phone and connected the call. Hello?
The black spots have separated. Mark A is approaching your location from a four oclock direction, an artificial voice came from the other end of the phone.
Oh. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. No drinking for me. My wife got mad at me yesterday. Ill rest for a few days. (Do you want me to stop Mark A from approaching the target?)
Yes. Dont let him approach the target. Deal with it as far away as possible.
Who did you invite? (Do I have any companions for support?)
Yes. The man wearing a gray jacket in your two oclock direction. Coordinate with him. Theres a substitute following behind Mark A as well.
Fine. Ill head over now. (Taking action now.)
Disconnecting the call, the middle-aged man smiled as he patted the child before him. He then stood up and walked eastward.
Meanwhile, a short distance away from this middle-aged man was none other than Chen Yu, who was having a fun time with his little sisters.
The middle-aged man did not walk very quickly, maintaining the same pace as the gray jacket man on his left. Very quickly, they arrived at the edge of the plaza and encountered the Asian agent.
When the agent came across the middle-aged man, he turned around and fled without hesitation, only to crash into a figure that suddenly appeared behind him.
When?
The agents expression changed drastically. Immediately, he raised his right knee and sent a ruthless kick at the figure. Simultaneously, he also unsheathed the weapon hung around his waist.
Instead of retreating, the figure stopping the agent actually moved forward and struck down at the agents right thigh with his left elbow. The strike caused the agent to lose his posture and stagger.
At this time, the middle-aged man finally caught up and sent a powerful roundhouse kick at the agents waist, the kick sending the agent crashing directly into the billboard on his left.
With perfect timing, the gray jacket man also arrived at the billboard and sent a punch flying at the back of the agents head!
Ugh
After letting out a groan, the agent fell to the ground in a daze. Before he could recover, though, the middle-aged man and gray jacket man had already pinned him to the ground.
Meanwhile, after successfully accomplishing his task, the figure that cut off the agents retreat immediately turned around and slowly moved forward. And surprisingly, the figures attire was actually exactly the same as the middle-aged man!
By the time Chen Yu heard the commotion with his keen hearing and turned to look at its source suspiciously, he only saw the back of that familiar middle-aged man walking away
Poof!
Suddenly, a snowball smacked into Chen Yus face, snapping him out of his daze.
Big Brother, where are you looking? Lets continue our snowball fight! Chen Erke shouted while waving the snowball in her hand.
Im not playing anymore! Chen Yu frowned. Youre allowed to hit me, yet Im not. This is basically dodgeball, not a snowball fight!
Youre older than me. Cant you humor me?
Didnt you make Third Eldest cry with your snowballs just now? Why didnt you humor Third Eldest?
Im her Big Sister. Its only right for me to beat my little sister.
Im your Big Brother. Shouldnt it be right for me to beat you as well?
Shaking her head, Chen Erke said, Im a girl. Youre a boy. How can it be the same?
Youre going to get a beating sooner or later with that logic.
Bending down, Chen Yu rolled up a giant snowball. Just as he was about to teach the bratty Chen Erke a lesson, Chen Sanke, who stood some distance away, wiped away her tears and grabbed a handful of snow. She then dashed forward and sent a flying kick at Chen Erke.
Ah!
Chen Erke cried out in surprise as she fell to the ground, her body sliding three meters across the snow. Just as she was about to get up, Chen Sanke suddenly smacked a snowball into her face, sending her to the ground once more.
Wah! Chen Erke instantly burst into tears and started fighting with Chen Sanke.
Nice, Third Eldest! Chen Yu raised his fist in excitement. Cheering, Dont fight empty-handed! Theres snow on the ground! Use it to enhance your damage!
Meanwhile, when Chen Yike, who was silently making a snowman some distance away, heard the commotion, she hurriedly ran over to stop the fight.
Eldest, go away. Dont interfere. Its their snowball fight.
They are fighting!
No. Shaking his head, Chen Yu obstinately said, Here, its considered a snowball fight.
Chen Yike:
With his hands resting on his hips, Chen Yu revealed a smile on his face as he watched the fight between his three little sisters.
This was his warm and harmonious family
Back when he chose to conceal his identity, wasnt it to protect this free and peaceful life?
C-Can I join in?
Suddenly, a familiar voice entered Chen Yus ears. Turning around, he saw Little Peach shyly approaching him while carrying a large plastic bag.
Sure.
Thank you.
In front of Chen Yus three little sisters, Little Peach acted as if she did not know Chen Yu. Opening her plastic bag, she said, Little Big Brother, Ive saved up many snowballs. Take half and lets have a snowball fight.
Okay Chen Yu instinctively felt that something was amiss. Picking up one of the snowballs in the bag and giving it a squeeze, Chen Yus complexion darkened immediately. How is this iceball a snowball? Are you sure you want a snowball fight and not a bloody fight?
If its not sturdy, itll break when it hits the body, Little Peach reasoned.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu forcefully split the ice ball apart, and his complexion darkened even further.
There was actually a rock hidden inside the iceball
Chen Yu:
Little Peach: To increase damage.
Go home.
The four humans and one robot played in the park for one whole hour before they were satisfied and decided to leave.
Shaking the snow off his body, Chen Yu faced Little Peach and said, Were leaving. Well play again next time.
Are you going home already? Longingly, Little Peach said, Lets play a little longer.
Were not playing anymore. Lets go.
Okay, then
Chen Yike politely waved her hand and said, Goodbye, Big Sister.
Mimicking her elder sister, Chen Erke also waved her hand and said, Goodbye, Big Sister.
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke tilted her head up and stared at Little Peach with a confused look on her face.
Goodbye, everyone. Lets play again next time. Little Peach bowed before turning around and leaving toward the nearby grove.
Lets go. Grabbing Chen Sankes hand, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, Time to head to the vet.
The Chen familys four young masters talked and laughed as they walked, and in no time at all, they arrived at the veterinary clinic.
I want to give my dog a vaccine shot. Can it be done now? Chen Yu asked as he entered the clinic.
Yes. A middle-aged woman wearing an old and dirty white coat nodded. She then retrieved two vaccine needles from a nearby refrigerator and looked around before asking, Wheres the dog?
Stunned, Chen Yu subconsciously looked at Chen Erke, Wheres the dog?
Chen Erke looked toward Chen Yike, Wheres the dog?
Chen Yike looked at Chen Sanke, Wheres the dog?
And Chen Sanke looked toward Chen Yu, Wheres the dog?
The middle-aged woman:
Youre finally here. This dog knows how to find the police, yet why doesnt it know how to find its own home?
Under the guidance of eye-witnesses, the Chen familys four young masters walked into the local police station
With tears in his eyes, one of the police officers manning the station pushed the husky to Chen Yu and said, Hurry up and take it away. This dog has been going inside the station. Also, not only did it eat up all the female staffs snacks, but it even knows how to drink beer and eat nuts!
Chen Yu: S-Sorry for the trouble, officer. Do you need me to compensate you?
No need. Just take it away quickly.
By the time Chen Yu returned home after paying another visit to the veterinary clinic, it was already past five oclock in the evening.
After entering his bedroom, Chen Yu quickly fetched Little Peach back using the Interstellar Portal. Once that was done, he sprawled himself on top of his bed, feeling exhausted physically and mentally.
What a tiring day
After resting for a while, he raised his watch and swiped across it to inspect the income he got from todays livestream.
He had gained a total of 1.09 million viewers from the five livestream rooms.
Moreover, this is the result obtained after the various governments and broadcasting platforms had done their best to hinder him. He had relied entirely on the audience promoting his channel by word of mouth to achieve his current popularity. This could already be considered a fantastic result.
Meanwhile, combined with the previous 12 points he had, he now had 121 points to spend.
What a big sum.
Chen Yu felt satisfied as he looked at the three digits displayed on the screen. Immediately, he visited the Transdimensional Store intending to splurge.

Huh?
Upon reading the third products description, Chen Yus eyes finally glowed in excitement.
This toy was definitely suitable to be livestreamed! If he invited some fans to play with this thing on stream, his stream would definitely achieve great results!
And I was just worrying about lacking products to interact with the audience.
Without even looking at the next two products, Chen Yu tapped on the screen and purchased one Life Sphere.
[23 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 98]
After the line of text flashed by, a space-time wormhole immediately opened up in the room. A large, transparent ball then fell out of the wormhole.
Thud Thud, thud.
The transparent ball was very elastic, and it bounced on the floor several times before it rolled off to a side.
Huh? Whats this? Little Peach came over, picked up the large ball, and carefully observed it. Its very light.
Its called the Life Sphere. A toy. After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu took the Life Sphere from Little Peach. Weighing it with his hands, he said, It is indeed very light.
A toy? Can robots play with it?
Sure. If youre obedient, Ill let you be the first to play with it during the livestream.
Little Peach immediately jumped and cheered, Yay!
We can also test whether there is any danger, Chen Yu added.
Little Peachs movements promptly stiffened.
Lets set it aside for now. I still have two products to look at.
After saying so, Chen Yu set down the Life Sphere and sat back onto his bed. He then started swiping his finger across his watchs screen again and read the next page.

Wadafak?!
His face filled with question marks, Chen Yu cursed, What the heck is this thing?!
After some time passed, Chen Yu got over his shock, picked up his phone, and quickly typed a message to Transdimensional Marketings staff member.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im here.]
[Chen Yu: I have a question. I saw a product labeled Retro in the Transdimensional Store. What does it mean?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The Transdimensional Store naturally isnt limited to only products from future space-times. There are also many excellent and memorable products available during ancient times that are replicated by future companies.]
[Chen Yu: I understand. Can I trouble you with another matter?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please speak, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Can you stop recommending things that arent suited for me in the future? With my personality, do you think I will need this kind of bomb?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Why did it even appear in the first place, then?]
Chen Yu:
Placing his hand on his chest, Chen Yu felt that he had just received a critical hit
After going silent for a moment, Chen Yu raised his wrist and swiped to the final product.
[5. Amnesia Bat: Produced by the Yezhou Medical Autonomous Foundation in the year 2477. After being inflated, the bat will reach a length of 130cm. The bats main body is made of silicone foam, and it has a built-in miniature brainwave jamming device. Upon colliding with the targets head, the jamming device will stimulate the targets thalamus and hippocampus. The struck target will suffer a temporary failure of the transmission and storage of information in the brain, and lose their memories of the past one hour. The bat will also effectively relieve the targets mental fatigue. Multiple hits will extend the amnesias length. (Note: The Amnesia Bat will only be effective when striking the head.) The selling price is 74 points.]
Amnesia Bat Chen Yu subconsciously squinted his eyes. This is a good product.
This was a product he must possess. It would help him solve many problems. He could even put it to use in his own home. Now, even if his three little sisters discovered his secret, he would still have a chance to remedy the problem.
If only this product could appear sooner. He mightve been able to avoid getting misunderstood as a pervert by Chen Yike and Chen Erke
But the selling price is too steep. Seventy-four points
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu stood up and paced around his room. He then gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and tapped his finger on his watch.
[85 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 13]
After the successful purchase text flashed by, another wormhole appeared in the room. This time, though, only a box the size of a fist fell out of the wormhole.
After the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu eagerly stepped forward, picked up the box, and tore open the seal. He had no intention of reviewing this product, so he naturally didnt have to wait to unbox it.
Opening the lid, he found a purple leather case that resembled a sausage. And stacked below the case was the instruction manual.
The instruction manual was only three pages long. It took Chen Yu only half a minute to finish reading it. From what he read, this product was initially meant to cure amnesia. However, for some reason, after 50 years of continuous modification, it became a product that caused mass-amnesia instead
After grasping the method to utilize this technological product, Chen Yu carefully removed the leather case from the box and carefully observed it under the light. He then tentatively put his lips at the bottom of the leather case, inhaled through his nose, and exhaled through his mouth.
Pop!
The leather case instantly expanded, transforming from a sausage into a giant eggplant!
A huge eggplant that was over one meter long
So, this is the Amnesia Bat?
Pinching the bottom of the bat to prevent the air from flowing out, Chen Yu subconsciously looked toward Little Peach.
Little Peach: ?
Little Peach, come over here?
What are you trying to do? Little Peach obediently walked up to Chen Yu.
Take this!
Chen Yu suddenly raised his arms and smacked the inflated bat at Little Peachs head.
Thud.
Little Peach: ?
Sure enough, its ineffective against robots?
Squeezing out the air from the bat, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and manipulated its console. Follow me. Were going to conduct an experiment.
What experiment? Little Peach asked, tilting her head. Do I need to change into my livestream clothes?
Yes. Ill get changed as well.
Theres nothing left at home. I moved all our livestream clothes onto the island-building ship.
Lets head to the ship first, then.
Half an hour later, Beijing City:
Chen Yu, who was clad in the special protective suit, suddenly appeared in the sky above Beijing University!
The jet of blue flames coming out of his back looked particularly conspicuous in the evening sky.
Chapter 139 - Live Entertainment (1)
Chapter 139 C Live Entertainment (1)
Look at the sky!
Is it a person?
Transdimensional! Its Transdimensionals UP!
Crap, its really him
Whos Transdimensionals UP?
Is that Iron Man?!
Chen Yus sudden appearance in the night sky quickly caught the attention of the many students present in Beijing Universitys campus.
As Chen Yu looked down at the campus condescendingly, he ignored the screaming crowd and flew toward a remote forest on the campus.
Boom!
As he landed heavily on the ground, he startled a male student who was playing with his mobile phone in the forest.
W-What are you?
You dont recognize me? Chen Yu asked.
The male student hurriedly stood up with a fearful look and asked, Who are you?
You must be tired from playing with your phone all day, right? Let me help you massage your brain and relieve your fatigue.
After saying so, Chen Yu removed his helmet and retrieved the deflated Amnesia Bat from his backplates storage box. He then blew air into it.
Pop!
The Amnesia Bat instantly swelled up, the development causing the male student to turn pale with fright. Immediately, he turned around and scurried away.
However, to Chen Yu, the male student might as well be crawling. Restarting the plasma engine, he instantly caught up with the student and smacked the bat right at the back of the students head.
Thud!
Ah~~
The male student involuntarily released a groan of ecstasy as his body limply fell to the ground. The fear that was initially on his face also transformed into joy
Stunned by this situation, Chen Yu looked at the bat and muttered, Is this thing alright?
To avoid getting discovered by other students, Chen Yu quickly deflated the Amnesia Bat and picked up the unconscious male student. He then took off into the air, departed from the campus, and flew to a certain residential area several kilometers away.
Little Peach was currently waiting here patiently.
Landing next to a rockery fountain in the residential area, Chen Yu put down the male student and asked, Did you take care of the surveillance?
Ive used my built-in pulse jammer on the surveillance systems here. They wont recover for at least half an hour.
Alright. Ill go hide, then. Youll wake him up and ask if he remembers me.
Okay.
Afterward, Chen Yu agilely hid into the cave of the rockery fountain and secretly observed Little Peach and the male student.
After Little Peach gestured an OK sign to Chen Yu, she squatted down and poked the male student with a tree branch. Hey? Wake up.
The male student: zzZ
Failing to get a reaction, Little Peach stood up, walked to the fountain, and caught some water with her mouth. Afterward, she aimed at the male student and spat
Pff!
Inside the cafe, Chen Yu covered his face as he couldnt bear to look at Little Peachs actions.
Uh? Huh?
The cold water aroused the male student from his slumber, and he promptly sat up and stared at Little Peach.
Sorry, I just wanted to wake you
Its fine. After snapping out of his daze, the male student generously waved his hand and pulled out his phone. Beauty, can I add you on WeChat?
This damned! Beijing-U really is giving birth to geniuses! Unable to take it anymore, Chen Yu rushed out of the cave and asked, Shouldnt you ask where you are, or who she is first?!
Turning around in confusion, the male student closely observed Chen Yu before asking, Who are you?
It seems you forgot. Experiment over.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the inflated Amnesia Bat and smacked it at the male students head.
Thud.
Ah~~~
Jinzhou City, the special situation teams office:
After knocking on the door and entering the room, Big Sis Wu passed a faxed document to the middle-aged team leader and said, Leader, news just came in from Beijing. Chen Yu appeared above Beijing University at 7:25 and has seemingly kidnapped a sophomore.
The middle-aged team leader immediately accepted the document. While reading the document, he asked, Wheres that student now?
Hes currently in Beijing Universitys intensive care unit and is under protection.
Is he injured?
No. Clearly and quickly, Big Sis Wu said, He merely fell into a deep sleep. After being awakened, his thoughts remain normal, and logic remains clear. He just lost his memory of getting kidnapped by Chen Yu. To be precise, he forgot all his memories in the past hour.
Upon hearing Big Sis Wus words, the middle-aged team leader subconsciously blurted out a name, Nick Fury!
Nodding, Big Sis Wu said, That black agent also lost his memory. However, the cause of his memory loss is a heavy blow to the brain. On the other hand, the cause of the kidnapped students memory loss is something else. Detailed examinations are still underway, but the experts say that we might not get any clear results.
Mhm. Setting down the document, the middle-aged team leader fell into thought. He then picked up another document and passed it to Big Sis Wu, saying, Take a look at this. Its Group 3s analysis report.
Accepting the document, Big Sis Wu spent half a minute reading it. The logic is well-knit, and the evidence is conclusive. The girl who had a snowball fight with Chen Yu should be that female assistant in cheongsam, while that husky should be the dog in the warehouse. In other words, the person in the warehouse that our scans failed to detect is this girl?
Most likely. The team leader nodded. The only problem is that when they had their snowball fight, the girl had a normal body temperature.
Maybe Thoughtfully, Big Sis Wu said, She can actively heat up her body?
So high-tech? As soon as the middle-aged team leader blurted out his thoughts, he immediately realized his blunder and could not help but blush.
What high-tech? Big Sis Wu asked in doubt.
Nothing.
Right. By the way, team leader, can I see her thermal image?
Here. I still havent had the time to send it to the analysis team.
Accepting and inspecting the photograph the team leader handed her, Big Sis Wu quickly discovered a crucial point. The temperature of her hands are obviously higher than her body! Why is that so?
The team leader was similarly taken aback by this discovery. Immediately, his eyes glowed, and he said, Its so that she can form more robust snowballs! If the temperature of her hands is high, she can melt and freeze the snowballs surface!
If she can freely adjust her body temperature, then her identity is without question. Leader, just like you initially guessed, she really is a robot
The middle-aged team leader fell silent at this discovery.
In his inherent opinion, artificial intelligence that possessed independent thinking, consciousness, and emotions were incredibly terrifying. In fact, such an AI was much more terrifying than any advanced technology Chen Yu had reviewed thus far.
Weare becoming increasingly passive.
Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, another week had gone by.
Meanwhile, the weather had become colder as well.
A rare cold wave that only appeared once every decade swept across China, causing the whole country to shiver.
This morning, however, Chen Yu did not feel cold at all. He was even eating ice cream.
The reason for this was because he had teleported to the tropics
Mr. Chen, its 8:50 now. Wont you livestream in advance? Little Peach, who was clad in a cheongsam, urged anxiously.
No. We must be punctual, Chen Yu lazily said. If I say nine oclock, then Ill start at nine oclock.
This is only an additional livestream.
We must be punctual even for additional livestreams. Chen Yu remained unfazed. Why are you in such a rush?
Didnt you say you would let me play with the Life Sphere first? Little Peach stamped her feet excitedly. I cant wait any longer.
Its only a few more minutes. Just wait.
While leaning against a coconut tree, Chen Yu glanced at the transparent sphere beside him while leisurely licking his ice cream.
The review product for todays livestream was none other than this Life Sphere.
He wanted to let his ordinary viewers personally experience the magic of future technology
Nine minutes later
Mr. Chen! Its nine! Little Peach shouted.
Mhm.
Swallowing down the last bit of ice cream, Chen Yu put on his opera mask and faced the camera.
Start the livestream!

In just 10 seconds after Transdimensional Reviews livestream went live on the five broadcasting platforms, the total viewer count had exceeded 300,000.
[Awooo!]
[OHHH]
[Ive read the announcement. The first interactive slot will definitely be mine!]
[Its mine! Its mine!]
[Host, after you posted your announcement, Bilibilis and DouYus stock prices instantly soared. Amazing.]
[My husband is still handsome today.]
[I love you to death!]
[The first slot is mine! Ill spam donations to you!]
[Notice: Ming Zixie sent 20x Super Rockets.]
[Notice: Ming Zixie has sent 50x Super Rockets]
The bullet comment section became so flooded that comments started overlapping with each other. Also, notifications of people making staggering donations would appear at the bottom-left corner of the screen every second.
When Chen Yu sent a glance at his watch, his face underneath his mask twitched involuntarily. Although he currently no longer had an interest in money, when he saw the amount of money flowing through his own territory, his heart could not help but ache.
After waiting for the donation boom to settle down, Chen Yu calmed himself and said, Greetings, fellow friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Review. Thank you for your willingness to wait before your screens and give me your support. I have never been one to flood my stream with fillers, so I will go straight into the main topic.
Pausing momentarily, Chen Yu took a step back and turned to look at Little Peach. Bring the product over.
Okay!
Little Peach enthusiastically trotted out of the cameras view and returned with the Life Sphere in her arms.
Youre blocking my center position, Chen Yu said as he shooed Little Peach off with his hand.
Oh, my bad. Little Peach hurriedly retreated and stood behind Chen Yu.
Cough. As everyone can see, I will be reviewing this transparent ball today. This product also has a very nice namethe Life Sphere.
[Fertility Sphere.]
[Youre reviewing a ball?]
[Whats this ball for?]
[I heard that every person that leaves a comment below me will have a year of good fortune.]
[Counting on that.]
[Counting on that. +1]
[I suddenly have a bold idea.]
After accepting the Life Sphere from Little Peach, Chen Yu continued explaining, As this is an additional livestream, I will not elaborate on the products manufacturer and production year. I will only give a basic introduction of the product.
The Life Sphere is an outdoor toy from the future. The primary way to play with this toy is to enter it, fall from a high altitude, and experience a thrilling trip. When present on the roof of a building or the top of a mountain, many people would have the urge to just jump off. Meanwhile, with this toy, you can thoroughly realize your urges without suffering any injuries. It is far more exciting than bungee jumping.
The sphere is 2.5 meters in diameter, and the internal space is huge. Even if two people enter it, they can freely move inside it without restrictions.
[Instantly understood!]
[Old driver.]
[Is my mind dirty, or are UPs streams getting increasingly sexual?]
The material used to make the spheres outer layer is ET-something plastic. This plastic is capable of cushioning a falling force of 95 meters per second. However, on Earth, due to the presence of wind resistance, the sphere can only achieve a maximum falling speed of 60 meters per second with human passengers. In other words, so long as it is within the stratosphere, there is no way for the user to suffer injuries from falling.
Reaching out and patting the sphere, Chen Yu changed his tone and continued, Thats the end of the introduction. Next, well enter the live testing phase and personally experience the novelty of this future toy.
After saying so, Chen Yu shifted the camera toward the metal arch on his left. There are many ways we can drop the Life Sphere, but I think the most distinctive way to make use of it would be to drop it from the top of a mountain. Hence, well go with this method first. To Phoenix Mountain.
Calling up the virtual Earth, Chen Yu established a spatial link to the top of Wuchang Citys Phoenix Mountain. He then took the lead and stepped through the portal.
Huff!
Little Peach excitedly picked up the Life Sphere and followed after Chen Yu. Currently, in her mind, aside from love, having fun was the most important thing.
As the camera passed through the boundary, the scene displayed on the audiences screens changed from a sunny beach to a snow-capped mountain. The contrast was even more peculiar than the reversal of day and night.
This is Phoenix Mountain.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu casually said, Speaking of the Phoenix Mountain, there are a total of 74 Phoenix Mountains in the country. Almost every province has one, with some having even two or three. The one were currently on is located in Wuchang City. The scenery here is quite good.
As it is currently winter and snowing, there arent many tourists here to interfere with our livestream. Well, then. Now, I will enter the Life Sphere together with my assistant and fall straight down from the peak, which is located 1,600 meters above sea level. We will experience the extreme stimulation of hovering between life and death.
[Just listening to your words already excites me! I want to play as well!]
[Ditto.]
[Ill bomb the heck out of anyone who dares compete against me over the bullet comment slots later on!]
[Ive already reported you. You have no chance to compete.]
[Lololol]
[You guys have fun competing. Ive already donated 20 million so far. Im going to ride on the WealthyExpress.]
[Brother, trust me. That 20 million of yours isnt even enough to cause a scene.]
[Thats right! Youre better off letting me spend that money for you!]
[If I want to play together with the female assistant, how much extra do I have to pay?]
[The host will let you know what getting hit by a super bomb feels like]
After Chen Yu was done speaking, he turned around and found that Little Peach was already obediently lying inside the ball.
Chen Yu: Are you that eager?
My King, hurry up and push me down.
Pulling open the Life Spheres entrance, Chen Yu quickly crawled inside together with the camera.
Are you coming with me too? Little Peach asked.
Mhm. I cant help but worry about leaving you inside by yourself.
Y-Youre worried about me? Little Peach blushed.
Im worried about the ball.
After adjusting his tone and rhythm, Chen Yu faced the camera and waved his hand. I have the illusion of being inside a space cabin. The plastic inside is soft and comfortable to lie down on. The transparency of the sphere is also similar to that of glass, allowing me to clearly see the view outside. As a toy, it is exquisitely made.
While Chen Yu was narrating, a transparent lubricating fluid started seeping out from the Life Spheres inner walls.
Scooping up some of the liquid and showing it to the camera, Chen Yu said, This lubricant can effectively reduce the friction between the human bodyplus clothingand the spheres inner walls, preventing users from rotating together with the sphere.
To enhance the sense of immersion, I will conduct the game without wearing the protective suits helmet. My assistant cant wait any longer, and Im sure you guys cant either, so lets start immediately.
After saying so, Chen Yu stood up inside the ball. He then slowly pushed the Life Sphere forward. He then said, The cliff is right in front. Lets start counting down from three-
One! Little Peach abruptly kicked her legs, the force causing the Life Sphere to jump and fall down the cliff!
Crap
Chapter 141 - Madness…
Chapter 141 C Madness
Aaahh!!
Hahaha
Amidst Chen Yus screams and Little Peachs laughter, the Life Sphere fell off the cliff.
For a moment, Chen Yu and Little Peach experienced weightlessness. It felt as if they were floating in mid-air. Only after the spinning Life Sphere slammed heavily into the sloping cliff did they experience an impact coming from beneath them.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud
As the spheres rolling speed increased, the two people inside the sphere started bouncing left and right, up and down.
The Life Spheres high degree of transparency made it look like it didnt exist to the naked eye. Anyone that looked through the rolling and falling sphere would find it difficult to feel safe. Hence, every time the sphere collided with the rocky cliff, a mixture of cheers and screams would appear inside the sphere.
[This is too damned cool!]
[Crap. These youngsters really know how to have fun]
[I~ Want~ To~ Play~]
[Those with heart disease, please leave the livestream. Dont compete for a spot later on.]
[Awesome!]
[Rolling down from Mount Everest will definitely be a refreshing feeling.]
[People living in the future really know how to have fun.]
[There will also be full virtual reality games, robots, flying cars, and extended lifespans in the future I really am born in the wrong era.]
[Future people have their own happiness, while we also have our own happiness.]
[What do we have, then?]
[Lol]
With the Life Spheres rapid descent, it only took one minute to reach the bottom of the 1,600-meter-tall mountain.
Thud!
Thud.
Thud, thud
After the Life Sphere spent another minute bouncing about to eliminate its remaining energy, it gradually came to a halt.
As the Life Sphere stopped, its entrance got pried open, and a large amount of lubricant gushed out. Chen Yu and Little Peach similarly got flushed out of the sphere.
Cough Cough, cough
After wiping away the lubricant on his mask, Chen Yu staggered to his feet and gasped for air.
As for Little Peach, she was lying flat on the snowy ground, her body covered in the lubricating fluid. So So fun Its too fun
After spitting out some of the lubricant that got into his mouth, Chen Yu faced the camera, smiled, and said, It really is fun. I dont really have the words to describe the feeling of surprise I just experienced. Right now, I can still feel adrenaline getting pumped throughout my body.
[I finally know why it is called the Life Sphere.]
[I know as well.]
[This is the story of amniotic fluid and baby. ( ????)]
[Congratulations! You gave birth to a pair of twins!]
[Who said it was a Fertility Sphere just now?]
[UP, are you done? Is it our turn now?]
[Start spamming bullet comments now! Pick me, pick me]
[Notice: Ming Zixie has sent 10x Little TV Spaceships]
[Notice: Star Baron has sent 200x Super Rockets]
The designer that thought to pair a sphere with lubricating fluid really is a genius. Lifting the Life Sphere, Chen Yu explained, With the lubricant, no matter how the sphere turns, the user inside will always remain in an upright position. They wont feel as if the world around them is spinning. The unobstructed view also causes frightened users to forget that they are in a protected state.
Particularly, during the moments where the sphere collided with the cliff, the survival instincts engraved in your genes will make your scalp numb and pores open. Youll be bursting with adrenaline. After personally experiencing this Life Sphere, I can only say that
This toy is goddamned amazing! Ninety-nine points for creativity! Sixty points for the actual experience. As to why I didnt give full marks, it is because the manufacturer did not give me any advertising fees.
[Hahaha, straightforward.]
[I have a hunch that the interactive phase is starting.]
[Im sucking the luck of heaven and earth!]
[Pig Guidance Company has sent 10,000x Super Rockets.]
[UCWeb Inc. has sent 12,222x Super Battleships.]
[Xiaomi Corporation has sent 23,333x Super Rockets]
[Crap! The bigshots have appeared!]
[Poverty, turns my face ugly.]
[The gods are fighting]
Thud.
Setting down the transparent ball, Chen Yu turned his back toward the camera and removed his mask. He then took out the protective suits helmet from his backplate and put it on. Afterward, he faced back to the camera and said, Thats it for the demonstration. Next, the remaining time all belongs to you, viewers in front of the screen.
Everyone shouldve read the rules posted in the announcement, but Ill briefly repeat them.
After saying so, Chen Yu opened his palm and gestured a five, saying, One: Participants for the interactive session will be chosen from the bullet comments and donation list. I will also randomly grab people off the streets.
Two: Participants chosen from the donation list wont necessarily be the highest donor. However, those who donate more will have greater chances of being selected.
Three: The chosen individual or organization will only have one chance to leave their addresses. After I connect the portal, you have one minute to enter it.
Four: You must listen to my instructions throughout the playthrough. Otherwise, I will not take responsibility for your safety Well, even if you listen to my instructions and fall into danger, I still wont take responsibility.
Five: The final interpretation right of the situation belongs to me. I will not accept prosecutions from any courts around the world.
Raising his wrist and taking a look at the chaotic bullet comment section, Chen Yu then declared, The lottery starts now!
[Ahhh! Daddy, look here!]
[Daddy! Daddy!]
[What if?]
[What if?]
[What if?]
[Me, me, me]
[Notice: China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation has sent 40,000x Little TV Spaceships.]
[Notice: NASA has sent 48,800x Super Rockets.]
[Notice: Swiss Bank Corporation has sent 35,000x Super Rockets.]
[Notice: Thailands Military has sent 52,000 Little TV Spaceships]
[The bigshots have appeared.]
[The bigshots are here! Make way!]
[Im betting none of the broadcasting platforms would dare accept any of these donations.]
[Dont tell me these Gods are really trying to play with a ball, right?]
[Theyre trying to let the host play]
After the tsunami in the bullet comment and donation sections went on for 10 minutes, Chen Yu finally opened his mouth and said, That should be enough. Now, lets read the participant list. First, well start with the lucky ones in the bullet comment section.
Bilibili platform, ID Hahahaha and Um.
DouYu platform, ID Yin Shixiu.
TikTok platform, ID One Nights Stance.
The three mentioned viewers, Ive granted you access to privately message me. Send me your addresses.
After saying so, Chen Yu paused for half a second before continuing, Next, well choose from the donation list.
DouYu platform, ID Nintendo.
DouYu platform, ID Xiaomi Corporation
At the same time, many experts, professors, and leaders were currently anxiously fidgeting in the lobby of a certain scientific research unit in Beijing. As these people listened to Chen Yu call out IDs one after another, their spirits tensed up to their very limits.
We must be chosen We must be chosen
An elderly man with graying hair tightly squeezed the teacup to the point where even the joints of his fingers had turned white.
DouYu platform, ID Nintendo.
DouYu platform, ID Xiaomi Corporation.
Chen Yus leisurely voice echoed throughout the spacious hall.
This is the last one The old man was already drenched in cold sweat. Staring at the screen with bloodshot eyes, he prayed, We must be chosen
On the screen, Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the camera. He then lowered his left hand and flatly said, Bilibili platform, ID China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation.
Awooo!
Ahhh!
We won! We won!
Roar!
The atmosphere in the hall boiled.
Everyone roared and cheered to vent their surging emotions.
We won! The old man threw his arms into the air, tossing away both the teacup and walking stick he held. He then hugged the colleague next to him and cheered, We won! We won!
We won, Director!
Hurry! Prepare everything we need to bring! Dont waste even a single second!
Yes, sir.
The old man took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his emotions. He then picked up the microphone on the table and said, Everyone calm down! It wont be too late to celebrate after weve completed our mission! Now, to your positions!
Chapter 142 - Interaction Start (1)
Chapter 142 C Interaction Start (1)
Bilibili platform, ID China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation.
After reading out the last ID, Chen Yu looked at the camera and said, The IDs called out for the bullet comment group and donation group, send me your addresses. You have one minute only. Afterward, think of where you wish to play ball. Now, lets return to the top of the mountain.
Picking up the Life Sphere, Chen Yu walked up to Little Peach and said, Get up. Were going back to the mountain top.
So fun Its really fun. Little Peach was still lying on the ground, drenched. After wiping all the lubricating fluid off her body, she climbed up, took the Life Sphere from Chen Yu, and said, My body feels slippery and sticky. I want to go wash up.
No need to wash up. Chen Yu pinched a drop of lubricant stuck on his armor and lightly pulled it into a thin, silver strand.
This lubricant should be specially made. It evaporates very quickly. Most of the lubricant stuck on my protective suit has dried out already. Youre wearing textile, so it should dry out a little slower.
After explaining, Chen Yu hugged Little Peach, and Little Peach hugged the Life Sphere. With the plasma engines thrust, they then rapidly ascended and returned to the top of Phoenix Mountain.
Thump!
Chen Yu and Little Peachs sudden appearance startled a tourist that was curiously observing the Interstellar Portal. Retreating in horror, the tourist shouted, A-A-Aliens?!
After gradually landing together with Little Peach, Chen Yu powered down the engine and directed the camera toward the tourist. Look what I found? A wild tourist. It just so happens we can kidnap him for our interactive session. If hes willing to join, well have all three participant groups filled.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked toward the tourist, and calmly said, Greetings, Earthling.
Ah!
The tourist immediately screamed in horror. He then turned around and fled at a speed that would definitely make Coach Anzais[1] eyes shine
Hmm Shrugging, Chen Yu said, Obviously, he isnt willing.
[Hahaha. That killed me.]
[Wuchang Citys Phoenix Mountain has had rumors of aliens appearing before.]
[The developer that previously pulled this alien stunt has quite the brain there.]
[The rumor is going to be set in stone now]
Since the tourist isnt willing to participate in the game, well proceed according to the original plan and start the interactive session.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch and entered his private message interface.
First, ID Hahaha and Um from the bullet comment group. What a perfunctory name
Approaching the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu called out the holographic Earth and entered the address the other party sent.
Buzz!
Along with the sound of metal resonating, the spatial link was established. The sight of a basketball court then appeared on the other end of the arch.
Several dozen youngsters were currently gathered on the basketball court, and every one of them was staring at Chen Yu.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu asked, Whos Hahaha? Come in yourself.
Me! Me, me, me!
A young man shouted as he raised his phone. Under the watchful eyes of his surrounding companions, he approached the Interstellar Portal, reached out with his finger, and poked the spatial film separating the two spaces.
Relax and come in. Theres no danger.
Hehe, I-Im quite cowardly
Awkwardly scratching his head, the youth moved one of his feet through the portal. After finding out that there was no danger, he finally decided to completely walk through the portal.
Awesome! After giving his body a pat-down and seeing that none of his limbs were missing, he did a big jump and shuddered in excitement. This is too awesome!
Calm yourself.
Chen Yu gestured for the youth to calm down. Afterward, he established a spatial link with the second address.
Buzz
As soon as the link was established, a man and a woman came charging through the portal.
Hahaha! Its me! Its me!
Host, I love you!
Stretching his hand, Chen Yu stopped the two crazy fans and asked, Which one of you owns the selected ID?
Me! Its me! The young woman waved her hand excitedly. Thats my boyfriend. Didnt you say couples can play together?
Thats right. Smirking, Chen Yu asked, How will you prove that youre a couple, then?
We have a record of our stay in a hotel! The young woman dauntlessly pulled out her phone. Ill find it for-
Stop! I believe you. Stand over there.
Im so excited! The young woman clenched her fists and walked to a side.
The young man, however, remained standing before Chen Yu. Making a heart gesture with his hands, he proclaimed, Host, I love you!
The young woman: ??
I love you guys too.
Disgusted, Chen Yu motioned for the other party to stay further away from him. He then proceeded with connecting to the next address.
The last member of the bullet comment group was an elderly man. The old man wobbled through the portal with the help of a cane. After scanning Chen Yu with his eyes, the old man grew so excited that even his beard started trembling. My ancestor, not bad!
Old man?
Hey! Im your loyal fan! Ive watched your show since I was young!
You Gaping in shock, Che Yu asked, How old are you this year?
Im 37! the old man said as he gestured a 3.
Thirty-seven!?
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Im a programmer.
Oh
Realization dawned on everyone.
Oh my ass! You wont look so old even if you write web novels! Chen Yu retorted. How old are you?
Young man, you saw through me?
Im not blind.
Im 77 this year. Im afraid youll say Im too old, so I mentioned a younger age.
Why are you here?
Tapping his walking stick on the ground, the old mans face flushed as he loudly laughed, Of course, it is to play!
Play with your life?
To play something exciting! Its simply exhilarating to roll off from the top of a mountain! Cough, cough, cough
Old man Hesitantly, Chen Yu said, This gamehas somewhat high physical requirements. You should pass on this.
Its fine. Heroically waving his walking stick, the old man said, Im only 87. Im at an age where Im still-*cough, cough*young and powerful.
Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu asked, Old man, how old are you exactly? Can you speak truthfully?
I cant remember. The old man insisted on not speaking his actual age. Ive had bad luck throughout my entire life. When I cross bridges, they collapse. When I walk across roads, they break. When I was marching across a trench in my brigade during my younger days, I marched at the last of the 400-man group. I was also the only one to step on a nail. After becoming an adult, every place I worked at ended up going out of business. When I grew old, I worked as a security guard, and every place I worked at ended up getting robbed. I never thought that after growing even older, my luck would turn! I actually won a spot against so many people, haha-cough, cough
Chen Yus expression turned complex when he heard the old mans words. Old man, youve lived a difficult life, so dont push yourself any further.
No! I must play!
Must you play?
I must play! The old man firmly repeated.
Fine. Ill try to find a relatively flat place for you.
After settling the bullet comment groups final member, Chen Yu faced the camera and said, Now, its time for the donation group. First, DouYu platform, ID Nintendo, the address is in Tokyo, Japan.
[Out with the Lucker Group, and in with the Tycoon Group.]
[Is that old man really okay?]
[Im so damned envious of him]
[I spammed comments using 10 phones, yet I still failed.]
[Crap! So what if theyre rich?!]
Buzz!
After establishing the spatial link, a wide hall appeared behind the metal arch.
Clap, clap, clap
Over a hundred people inside the hall started applauding enthusiastically. Amidst the applause, Nintendos representative walked through the Interstellar Portal. After arriving before Chen Yu, the representative threw himself to the ground with a plop and said, Sumimasen!
Chen Yu:
Chapter 143 - Interaction Start (2)
Chapter 143 C Interaction Start (2)
Sumimasen! (Sorry)
Nintendos company representative prostrated himself in a standard posture. He then stood up and bowed his head, saying, We apologize for being slightly slow in sending our address and causing you trouble.
Uh Its fine, Chen Yu said with a forceful smile. Ive always enjoyed the first-party games your company produces.
A joyful expression immediately appeared on the face of Nintendos representative. It is a great honor!
However, there are two aspects I wish your company can improve on.
Please give us your advice, sir.
First, your game cartridges are too expensive. Its nasty to sell a game for four to five hundred yuan. Learn from your neighbor Sony. Theyre giving out discounts every day.
Hai! The representative executed a 90-degree bow. We will correct it.
Second, the performance of your gaming hardware needs improvement. I cant even play Bloodstained without crashing once every few minutes. You cant always put the blame on the software vendors.
Hai! The representative lowered his head once more. Sumimasen! We will correct it.
Okay, thats it for my opinions. You can stand aside now.
E-Excuse me
Anything else? Chen Yu asked, puzzled.
May I know what opinions you hold toward my country? Nintendos representative suddenly asked while making a 90-degree bow.
Meanwhile, along with the appearance of this highly sensitive question, many special departments watching the livestream instantly tensed up their spirits as they waited intently for Chen Yus feedback.
Although they had already analyzed the psychology, personality, and ideological portraits of Transdimensional Reviews UP through his past livestreams, it was far more meaningful to have him formally state his stance.
Oh, this question?
Chen Yus eyes started swimming under his helmet.
After giving the matter a long thought and sorting out the words in his mind, he calmly said, In my opinion, your countryhas excellent women. There are also many people with excellent skills and moral integrity. I strongly support your countrys development in film and television, games, and other two-dimensional aspects.
A-Anything else? the representative asked, flabbergasted by Chen Yus answer.
Nope, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. As an independent, objective, and fair third-party reviewer, I will not express any conscious attitudes. Moreover, I dont have any opinions to express regarding your country. Go wait at a side. Im going to fetch the next participant.
[I think UP is already done expressing himself, lolol.]
[Host has the aura of a bigshot]
[Real opinion: No opinion.]
[As one of UPs old Bilibili fan, I just want to say that UPs behavior and actions are getting increasingly flamboyant.]
[With a protective suit, an Interstellar Portal, and a Weather Control Module, the host can destroy the world.]
[The only thing on your mind is world destruction. We can already do that easily with the worlds nuclear arsenal. Violence cannot solve everything.]
[Violence might not be able to solve everything, but it can solve everything.]
Sumimasen! Nintendos representative quickly hid his concerns, straightened his posture, and walked toward the bullet comment groups four members.
Dont stand near me. The old man huffed angrily and raised his walking stick, his expression suggesting that he would beat the representative if the latter dared approach him.
Stand here! However, the three youngsters behaved in a peaceful, polite, and friendly manner as they invited the representative to stand beside them.
The young womans boyfriend, in particular, even enthusiastically initiated conversation with the representative. Brother, have you guys developed the next-generation console yet? What kind of configuration
In response to the young mans enthusiasm, the representative simply made a perfunctory smile. As a government official, he hardly knew anything about games. Hence, he could only offer vague answers.
After Nintendo, the next ID selected on DouYu belongs to Xiaomi. The address is Beijings Xiaomi Technology Park.
After finding the correct location on the virtual Earth, Chen Yu initiated the spatial link.
Once more, the view inside the Interstellar Portal changed, and a tall, middle-aged man walked out of the portal.
Greetings, Mr. King. After walking out of the portal, the middle-aged man respectfully greeted Chen Yu and offered to shake hands. I am Yu Qian, the general manager of Xiaomi Technology. It is an honor to be selected by you.
Greetings, Mr. Yu. Is Chief Lei not coming? Chen Yu asked as he shook Yu Qians hand.
Yu Qian naturally wouldnt say that Lei Jun had been forcefully replaced by him. Smiling, he answered, Chief Lei cant handle such an exciting outdoor activity.
Thats a shame, Chen Yu said, sneering.
Truly a shame.
Releasing his hand, Yu Qian stood aside and stopped speaking.
Seeing this, Chen Yu was naturally more than happy to ignore Yu Qian. He then continued manipulating the portal and established a spatial link to the final location.
Buzz!
As the spatial link formed, two men dressed in simple spacesuits walked out of the portal. Each of them also carried a small box.
Boom. Boom.
After placing down their boxes, the two men saluted Chen Yu, Hello!
Hello.
After scanning the two mens attire, Chen Yu raised his voice and said, According to regulations, only one person is allowed to participate per ID.
Were a couple, the two men proclaimed in unison.
Chen Yu: ?
Everyone else present: ??
The livestreams 800,000 viewers: ???
In the next moment, one of the astronauts pulled out a phone and approached Chen Yu, saying, This is our ho-
Stop, stop, stop! Amazing! You guys are amazing! I believe you.
Thank you, the two men said in unison once more.
[What a goddamned couple!]
[The governments way of doing things really is bloody amazing.]
[Do you think our military officers are paid for nothing?]
[Nintendo is going to die from regret.]
[Its useless to regret. They first need to have the prerequisites if they wish to pick the loopholes in the rules. Do you think the UP will just close one eye if its a foreigner pulling this stunt?]
[Will there be another interactive event tomorrow?]
[There are over a million viewers. Even if the host livestreams every day, we still wouldnt have our turn.]
[I dont want to participate. I just came to look at the female assistant]
[I have screenshots of the female assistant being drenched in lubricant just now. Leave me a message if youre interested.]
Chen Yu was simply left speechless as he looked at the two muscular and resolute astronauts. Turning away from the two and looking toward the camera, he said, Now that all members of the bullet comment group and donation group are here, lets begin our game.
Ill repeat one last time. All selected participants are allowed to choose the method they wish to play with the Life Sphere. If you dont make a decision, Ill do it for you.
After saying so, Chen Yu lifted the Life Sphere and approached the first participant. He then asked, Hahaha, how do you want to play?
Scratching his head, the young man shyly said, I-Im quite timid, so 1,600 meters is already very high. Lets just start from here.
Your requirements are so low? Chen Yu was surprised.
Yes. In the next moment, however, the young man rubbed his palms together and snuck a glance at Little Peach, who stood idly nearby, and quietly said, M-My requirements arent high. I-Im fine so long as I can jump together with the female assistant.
[Something big is about to happen. (Eating popcorn)]
[Using the timidest tone to say the coolest words.]
[Brother Hahaha, safe travels.]
[A true man.]
[That guy must be really eager to die.]
[Shows over. Everyone, dismiss]
Chen Yu fell silent for a moment as he looked at the young mans expectant eyes. A moment later, his muscles tensed up as he grabbed the young man and stuffed him into the Life Sphere. He then aimed forward and kicked, Adios!
Boom!
Dont! Ahhhh
Amidst the young mans lung-tearing screams, the Life Sphere completed a perfect arc through the air and fell down the cliff.
Seeing this, the expressions of the donation groups four members changed slightly.
They could clearly tell that the strength of Chen Yus kick far surpassed the physiological limits of ordinary humans
Clap, clap.
Patting the non-existent dirt off his hands, Chen Yu scanned the remaining participants and asked, Who else wants to play together with my assistant?
Nintendos representative: I wouldnt dare.
Xiaomis representative: I cant afford to.
The old man: I cant play anymore.
Chapter 144 - You Are the Ruler of the World!
Chapter 144 C You Are the Ruler of the World!
At the foot of the mountain, the rolling Life Sphere gradually came to a halt.
Seeing this, Chen Yu activated the plasma engine and flew down the mountain. He then opened the Life Spheres entrance.
Flush.
Lubricating fluid flooded out of the Life Sphere, the viscous liquid flushing out the youth inside as well.
Ha Ha
The young man panted as he laid on the snowy ground. Traces of cold sweat also remained on his forehead. That wasfun
How is it? Picking up the Life Sphere, Chen Yu emptied the remaining lubricating fluid onto the ground. He then looked toward the youth and asked, Was it fun?
It was fun! It was really fun! the young man declared as he staggered to his feet. He then shifted his gaze between the mountain top and Life Sphere before taking a deep breath and saying, Its like actually falling off of a cliff. It felt like my heart was going to jump out.
Look at the camera and describe your experience, then.
Wheres the camera?
Pointing forward, Chen Yu said, Its there. Its invisible, so just speak.
Huh? Oh! After calming his breath and emotions, the young man looked forward and stretched out a finger, saying, I only have one thing to say!
UP! Youre the goddamned ruler of the world!
[Smooth!]
[What a way to kiss ass.]
[UP! Youre the ruler of the world!]
[UP! Youre the ruler of the world!]
[If I shout this line a thousand times, can I join the game as well?]
[Keep on dreaming.]
Hahaha. Chen Yu felt incredibly delighted by the praise, and he couldnt help but laugh out loud. He then patted the young man on the shoulders and said, You viewers are my world!
Hearing this, the young man grew so excited that he nearly broke into tears. However, he quickly bit his tongue and held himself back. He then spread out his arms and asked, UP, can I hug you?
Of course, you can.
Chen Yu also spread his arms and hugged the other party.
Alright, lets return to the top. Youll hold the ball.
Okay.
Hugging the young man, Chen Yu activated the plasma engine and flew straight to the mountains top.
Awoo
The young man started howling in excitement as they took off into the air. And shortly afterward, the two landed back on the mountain top.
After taking the Life Sphere from the young man, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and established a spatial link. He then said, You can return now. I hope youve enjoyed yourself today.
I did! Today is the happiest day of my life!
The young man reluctantly walked up to the metal arch. As he gazed at the basketball court beyond the arch, he shouted, UP, youre the ruler of the world!
After saying so, the young man walked through the arch and arrived back at the basketball court. Immediately, his companions swarmed him.
Awesome! You actually had the guts to try your hands on the kings woman?!
Was it fun? Was it exciting to fall from a mountain?
Goddammit, Im so envious of you
Boss! Youre our ruler from now on!
Hearing the youthful words coming through the portal, Chen Yu subconsciously smiled from the bottom of his heart. However, as there was a helmet covering his face, nobody was able to see it.
After disconnecting the spatial link, Chen Yu turned toward the couple from the bullet comment group and asked, How do you wish to play? Where to?
After the couple exchanged glances with each other, the young woman raised her hand and said, We want to go to Mount Everest! Well roll down from there!
Can you handle it? Chen Yu kindly reminded, Everests peak is over 8,000 meters above sea level. Although the height difference between the peak and the base isnt that large, youll still need at least five minutes to roll to the bottom. Your heart might not be able to handle the prolonged excitement.
Im fine. Patting her chest, the young woman declared, We are both physically healthy, and our hearts are in good shape as well. Though my boyfriend isnt as courageous as I am.
After saying so, the woman turned to look at her better half and asked, Hey, are you fine with it?
Bah! Fine? Revealing a grim look, the young man shouted, How can a man say no?!
Thats good, then. Well-
So, I wish to become a woman, the young man added.
The young woman: ?
Chen Yu: ?
Suddenly, silence fell over the Phoenix Mountains peak.
Even the bullet comments appearing in the five livestream rooms instantly became sparse
Looking at Chen Yu, the young man once more gestured a heart with his hands and said, Host, I love you.
You damned.
Enraged, Chen Yu grabbed the young man as if he was picking up a little chick and tossed him into the Life Sphere. Go to Everest and fall straight down! Lady, go in.
Right on! The young woman grew excited and quickly squeezed herself into the Life Sphere. She then hugged onto her boyfriend, who was trying to escape, and said to Chen Yu, Little Brother, you can throw us now.
Sure. The atmospheric pressure at Mount Everests peak is very low, but the pressure is stable inside the sphere. You wont be in any danger so long as you dont open the entrance mid-fall.
After closing the entrance, Chen Yu connected the portal to Mount Everests peak. He then tapped on the sphere and said, Lady, use your phone to start a livestream and connect with me. Ill play the situation inside the sphere to the livestream as well.
Okay. The young woman agreed to Chen Yus demand without hesitation. She pulled out her phone, visited Transdimensional Reviews livestream room on DouYus platform, and sent a connection request.
The 900,000 viewers watching Transdimensional Reviews livestream had their screens split in half in the next second. Displayed on the left was a high-definition livestream of the situation outside the Life Sphere. Shown on the right was a somewhat blurry livestream of the spheres inside.
Now, connect your network to the hotspot CSKPC111, Chen Yu said while swiftly operating his watch and setting up a hotspot. Otherwise, your video will be cut off once you reach Mount Everest since there is no network there.
Little Brother, Im connected.
Excellent.
Lowering his watch, Chen Yu picked up the Life Sphere and threw it straight through the portal. Off you go!
Ahhh!
Ohhh!
Amidst the young mans wails and the young womans cheers, the Life Sphere passed through the arch and started rolling off Mount Everest from 8,800 meters above sea level.
Under Chen Yus control, the invisible camera quickly caught up with the Life Sphere. He then focused the lens on the rolling sphere, allowing the livestreams audience to spectate both the inside and outside of the sphere simultaneously for the first time.
Boom!
Boom!
The Life Sphere slammed heavily against the protruding rocks. Some of these rocks were flat, and some were sharp. Even the spectating audience watching from their own homes safety started having cold sweat from watching this scene, let alone the two people inside the sphere.
Ahhh! S-Save me!
Hahaha! Ah
The acceleration of gravity caused the sphere to roll at an increasingly higher speed.
Amidst the churning lubricating fluid, the young couple swayed from side to side and bumped up and down. Even their throats had become hoarse from all the screaming.
Boom!!
Another collision sent the two flying into the air. Unable to bear it anymore, the young man hugged his significant other and started crying. Wahhh!
Flushed with excitement, the young woman turned around and forcefully kissed her boyfriend on the lips.
Uu! Uuu
[I curse your entire family!]
[My food suddenly lost its taste.]
[Laughter suddenly stops]
[Tears are suddenly flowing out of my eyes.]
[I freaking knew it! I knew nothing good would come out from letting a man and a woman enter together!]
[I never knew I would get abused from watching a technology review livestream as well.]
[No place is safe.]
[Goddammit.]
[I finally understand why the host wanted to play two screens.]
[There are over a million viewers here, yet they dare pull such a stunt?]
[Fool! Having a million viewers will make it even more exciting!]
[???]
Meanwhile, at the top of the Phoenix Mountain, located thousands of kilometers away, when Little Peach saw this romantic scene through the old mans smartphone, her eyes immediately lit up. She then looked toward Chen Yu and licked her lips seductively.
Chen Yu:
Chapter 145 - To Hell with Love!
Chapter 145 C To Hell with Love!
Himalayas, Everest:
A silhouette fell from the top of the mountain and bounced from rock to rock.
Inside the Life Sphere, the young couple looked at each other affectionately. It seemed that even the life and death tribulations they endured as they rolled down the mountain were incapable of shaking their strong love.
I love you, the young woman said softly.
I love you too, the young man replied.
We must remain together forever.
Right. Well never separate.
Until the ocean dries up.
Until the ocean dries up!
Moved to tears, the young woman choked and sang, When the mountains no longer have ridges.[1]
The young man followed up, When the river water no longer flows.
When time stops, and theres no difference between night and day.
When all the things of heaven and earth turn to nothing.
I still will be unable to let go of your hand!
Unable to let go of your hand
The two then clasped each others hands and shared an affectionate embrace.
Boom!
The Life Sphere suddenly collided with another rock in the next second, causing the sphere to recoil. The young woman immediately cried out in pain and subconsciously swung her fist down onto her boyfriends head. You bit me!
You hit me?
You but me! The young woman punched her boyfriend again out of anger. Cant you say sorry?
You hit me again? Youre doing this on purpose!
Does it even hurt?
Even if it doesnt hurt, you still shouldnt hit me! Youre behaving like a shrew!
Youre cursing me?
You hit me first.
Bah! You scum!
Bah! Bah! Stinky hag
Lets break up!
Crap, you think Im scared of you?! Whoever doesnt break up is the other persons grandson!
***!
****!
[This reversal ispuzzling.]
[Justice has come so soon that I wasnt even ready for it.]
[Im so happy!]
[Im glad to see this.]
[This is so damned funny! Nice job!]
[FFFF]
[Hahaha!]
[My food tastes good again.]
[Were all professionals here. We shouldnt laugh.]
[So long as you have the heart to grow old with me, you can be without a car or a house. If you love me, you need to accompany me! On the road of love, both you and I are present!][2]
[Love? What love? To hell with love!][2]
[Search AV12058116 at Bilibili.]
By the time Chen Yu had flown the couple back to Phoenix Mountains peak, the young woman had her hair disheveled, and the young man had scratches all over his face.
Was it fun? Chen Yu asked.
It was fun. The young woman nodded.
Go have fun on your own, you barbaric woman! You dont make sense at all! Were breaking up once we go back!
If you have the guts, break up now.
So be it!
Scratching his helmet, Chen Yu said, Alright, considering your current states, I wont ask you for your experience in front of the audience. Go home.
Thank you, UP. While wiping away her tears, the young woman earnestly said, Thank you for allowing me to see the essence of this scumbag.
I have to thank you as well. Bowing to Chen Yu, the young man said, Thank you for letting us break up.
Y-Youre welcome.
While angrily glaring at each other, the couple walked through the Interstellar Portal.
Dont touch me!
Do you think I want to? The door is only so big
After the couple disappeared into the portal, ChenYu sighed and muttered, City people really are amazing.
Next, the last member of the bullet comment group. Old man, its your turn. How do you want to play?
Stepping forward, the old man waved his walking stick and declared, I want to go to Mount Everest as well.
Chen Yu:
Moreover, I want to fall starting from the stratosphere, land on Mount Everest, and then roll down the mountain.
Old man, do you want to die?
My body is in good shape! the old man said as he tossed away his cane and patted his chest. Just send me there and be done with me.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu hesitantly asked, Are you trying to swindle me?[3]
I dont do that kind of nonsense. Pointing into the sky, the old man repeated, Hurry and send me there.
Stop making trouble, old man. How about this? Ill send you into the deep sea, and the water will push the Life Sphere upward. The process should be relatively stable. Youll also be the first to enjoy this innovative experience. Want to give it a try?
Its not exciting. Im not trying. I want to go up into the sky.
No. Feeling slightly irritated, Chen Yu said, Ive already stated in the game rules that all participants must listen to my instructions. You are too old. Its highly likely youll come into danger if you roll down Mount Everest.
I
If you dont agree, then dont play.
After pondering for a moment, the old man rubbed his chest, and his tone softened as he begged, Young man, cant we discuss this? Ill pass on Mount Everest. Just drop me from the atmosphere and let me fall down. I dont mind even if I fall on flat ground.
[This old man is really annoying.]
[+1. People should know their limits.]
[Kick that old man and switch me in!]
[Is he a professional fraudster? He actually dares defraud the UP as well?]
[Maybe he wants to defraud UP of a spaceship, lololol.]
[Show some respect. The guys an old man.]
Raising his head and looking at the blue sky, Chen Yu sighed and asked, Old man, cant you play something tamer?
I wont ask to roll down a mountain anymore. I just want to fall from the atmosphere. Picking up his walking stick, the old man staggered to Chen Yu and revealed a childish smile. Please, young man. Satisfy this old mans wish.
Fine. Spreading his hands, Chen Yu surrendered and said, However, Ill say this in advance: I wont be responsible for anything that happens. Youre so old already, so your logical thinking should be quite clear. You need to bear the consequences for your own decisions.
No problem! Youre a good person, young man!
The old man grew so excited that even his beard trembled. Throwing away his walking stick once more, he quickly staggered into the Life Sphere, afraid that Chen Yu would go back on his words.
Okay, then. Chen Yu stopped trying to dissuade the old man. He then picked up the Life Sphere together with the old man and approached the Interstellar Portal. After establishing a spatial link to the stratosphere that was 50 kilometers above the ground, he asked one last time, Old man, are you sure you want to do this?
Lying inside the ball, the old man curiously squeezed and touched the spheres interior. In response to Chen Yus question, he dismissively waved his hand and said, No need to worry. This old man knows what hes doing. You should set some standards even when respecting the old. For an annoying old man like myself, you youngsters really dont need to show me any care.
Chen Yu:
Okay. Old man, just for that sentence, Ill do my best to protect you.
After saying so, Chen Yu pushed hard on the Life Sphere, sending both the sphere and the old man through the spatial link and to an altitude of 50,000 meters.
[Requesting for internal perspective!]
[The old man should be crying from fear.]
[This old man really is annoying. Going into the deep sea is much better. We can enjoy the view as well.]
Meanwhile, when the old man saw that the scenery outside had changed from the top of a mountain to the high and empty sky, the childish smile that originally plastered his face gradually subsided.
As he experienced the feeling of weightlessness that resulted from falling rapidly, the old man pulled out an old photo from his pocket and carefully observed it.
In the photo, there was a girl with big eyes and braids. The girl wore a sweet smile on her face, revealing two rows of white teeth to the camera.
Wife Smiling peacefully, the old man stroked the gray photo with his wrinkled thumb. He then pointed the picture downward, Wife, can you see it?
This is space! Even airplanes cant fly so high.
Hehe. They wouldnt let me get on an airplane, but didnt I still make it up here? I even reached higher than they can!
Rubbing his itching eyes, the old man continued talking to himself.
Its been decades, but we finally won.
Life has also changed for the better. The youngsters are becoming more and more promising with each passing generation.
His eyes growing moist, the old mans fingers started trembling uncontrollably, Can you see it?
What beautiful mountains and rivers.
Theyre ours.
Theyre all ours, and they will always belong to us.
Look, at this flourishing age
[Haha, the old man got scared!]
[He even forgot how to cry for help.]
[I want to play as well!]
[This ought to teach him a lesson. Even old people must learn the immensity of heaven and earth.]
Hah
The old man cried while trembling. Wiping away his muddy tears with the cuffs of his sleeves, he pressed the photo firmly to his chest.
You didnt die in vain.
I didnt fight for nothing.
Everything was worth it.
Our time has passed.
I wish for my heartbeat to stop at this moment
While whispering to himself, the old man peacefully closed his eyes.
When the old mans tears fell onto the lubricating fluid inside the Life Sphere, the two liquids did not merge together. Instead, the teardrops sank, and sank, and sank to the very bottom
Chapter 146 - I’ll Stay with the Mountains and Rivers
Chapter 146 C Ill Stay with the Mountains and Rivers
Boom!
With a falling velocity of 52.3 meters per second, the Life Sphere spent a full 15 minutes to cross the 50,000-meter distance. And upon colliding with the plain beneath Phoenix Mountain, the sphere rebound over 100 meters into the air.
Aiyo!
The old man got startled awake by the sudden impact, and he scurried around to secure a foothold.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom, boom, boom
After another two minutes passed by, the Life Sphere eventually stopped bouncing.
Ah, my old bones.
While supporting his lower back, the old man bared his teeth as he struggled to sit upright. And after steadying himself, he immediately tried to climb out of the sphere.
Wait a moment, old man.
Chen Yu, who had been silently keeping watch around the Life Sphere all this time, quickly stopped the old man from climbing out. He then picked up the sphere and flew back to the top of Phoenix Mountain.
Had he let the old man out now, it wouldve been difficult to transport the old man back to the top.
Young man, is that a rocket booster on your back? the old man asked curiously while lying inside the ball. How much is it? Help me buy one as well.
This cant be bought.
How strange. Aside from nuclear bombs, what else cant be bought?
Seeing as you can still talk non-stop, you seem to be fine, old man.
If I dont speak, doesnt that mean Im dead? The old man said, snorting. Look, I can still move.
Chen Yu suddenly discovered that his thought process surprisingly matched with this elderly man!
And this discovery caused him to grow worried.
He worried whether he would behave in such a manner once he grew old as well
Very quickly, the two arrived back at the mountain top. Chen Yu first established a spatial link to the old mans address. Only afterward did he open the Life Spheres entrance and let the old man out.
After Chen Yu helped the old man up from the snowy ground, the old man turned around to look down at the foot of the mountain. His expression suddenly turned serious in the next moment, and his body straightened as he carried out a standard military salute to Chen Yu.
Uh? Taken aback, Chen Yu took a step backward. Old man, what are you
Ending his salute, the old man tightly grasped Chen Yus hands and earnestly said, You, are a good kid. An outstanding kid. The future of the country depends on aspiring people like you.
Y-Your change is quite abrupt.
Truthfully, the things I said before are mostly nonsense. Only the part where the bridges I cross collapse, and the roads I walk break is true. Smiling, the old man announced, Because Im a retired veteran.
Is that so? Scanning the old man, Chen Yu said, I really couldnt tell just now.
Releasing his grip on Chen Yus hands, the old mans back turned crooked once more, and the stalwart aura he exuded disappeared. He then bent down to pick up the photograph on the ground and triumphantly showed it to Chen Yu, asking, Isnt she pretty?
Not bad.
Is it so difficult to acknowledge the excellence of others?
Fine, fine, fine. Shes pretty.
Hehe. Of course, shes pretty. This is my wife.
You might as well take out her baby photos, Chen Yu said wryly.
I dont have any new ones Smiling faintly, the old man said, I only have this one picture of her, because shes dead already.
Chen Yus brows raised in surprise as he apologized, Sorry.
Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, Theres nothing to feel sorry for. Shortly after we got married, she got killed by a stray bullet. I tried rubbing away the blood with my sleeves, but no matter how I rubbed, I couldnt rub away the blood. The brigade I was in back then was poor. Everyone was poor. To let her depart beautifully, the whole brigade used up what little fabric we had left to make her a new dress.
While saying so, the old mans eyes blurred once more. As he caressed the photo, he couldnt help but choke as he said, We truly were goddamned poor. Even after using all the white fabric we had, we were still missing half a sleeve. A few of my comrades even had to remove their bandages to complete the dress.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the mountain top grew heavy.
The crazy barrage of bullet comments in the livestream rooms also gradually thinned out.
But everything was worth it. Taking a deep breath, the old man stored away the photo and turned to look at the beautiful scenery below Phoenix Mountain. Look at this snow and this scenery. Can you say that it isnt beautiful?
Its beautiful, Chen Yu answered.
Good. Make sure to hold tightly onto the things you find beautiful. Aside from yourself, dont let anybody else touch them. Old-timers like myself have already done everything we can. From now on, the countrys development, economy, military, and that high-tech stuff of yours will depend on you youngsters. I really like you. Youve built an island and even landed on the moon. Good job!
After patting Chen Yus shoulders, the old man fiercely glared at Nintendos representative. He then picked up his walking stick and wobbled his way toward the portal.
You youngsters should focus on space development. I, on the other hand, will stay with the mountains and rivers here.
After saying so, the old mans figure disappeared into the portal
Meanwhile, after falling silent for a long time, Chen Yu returned a salute to the old man.
[Crap, my eyes went blind.]
[Me too.]
[Must this old man make me feel guilty?]
[Those that spouted nonsense before, hang yourselves.]
[Sorry, sand got into my eyes.]
[Sorry, sand got into my eyes.]
[Sorry, my eyes fell into an excavator.]
[Salute to veterans!]
[True veterans never die.]
After the silence at the mountain top continued for another half a minute, Chen Yu lowered his hand and turned toward Nintendos representative. Friend, its your turn.
Noticing the slight change in Chen Yus tone, the representative hurriedly fell to the ground and shouted, Sumimasen!
Stop that. Hurry up and tell me how you want to play.
I
Although the representative had plenty of things he wanted to say, he found himself unable to say any of them.
He had come participating in Transdimensional Reviews interactive event while bearing many tasks. However, looking at the current atmosphere, it was apparent he couldnt say much. Otherwise, he would simply earn the disgust of Transdimensional Reviews UP.
Hah Quietly sighing, the representative got into the wet ball. Doing his best to maintain a respectful and courteous attitude as he said, Sir, please send me to Mount Fuji. I wish to roll off of Mount Fuji.
No problem.
Chen Yu nodded and established the spatial link. He then promptly sent the Life Sphere flying into the portal with a roundhouse kick.
Afterward, he activated the plasma engine, and, with the thrust of two tail flames, he chased after the falling Life Sphere.
After Chen Yu left, aside from Little Peach, only the two astronauts remained on the empty mountain top. Seeing this, the two astronauts exchanged glances with each other.
Shall we start preparing?
Okay.
The two astronauts promptly opened their respective boxes, took out an insulated oxygen tank, and connected the tanks to the back of their simple spacesuit. Afterward, they each took out a fully enclosed helmet and put it on each others heads.
The set of spacesuit they currently wore was specially made, and it focused on temperature isolation and being lightweight. However, in exchange for these advantages, these spacesuits lacked most of the mounted accessories found on normal spacesuits. It was impossible for these spacesuits to operate in extraterrestrial environments devoid of an atmosphere for long periods.
After struggling for four minutes, the astronauts were finally done gearing up. They then shut their boxes and waited for Chen Yus return.
However, after another four minutes had gone by, instead of seeing Chen Yus return, the astronauts ended up witnessing the arrival of a group of local villagers.
Meanwhile, the person leading the group was none other than the tourist Chen Yu had scared away before.
Its real! Its real!
Unbelievable! They actually look like us?
I wonder what their faces look like
The glass of the helmets theyre wearing is too dark. I cant see through it.
Is that woman there an alien as well?
I wonder if there is reproductive isolation or not
This discovery is going to shock the world! Were going to become famous!
The villagers clad in thick jackets immediately grew excited when they saw the two astronauts. They hurriedly pulled out their phones and took pictures, and their mouths blabbered away without stopping.
Everyone, stop moving forward. Son, hurry up and call the police with your phone!
The village chief standing at the head of the group hurriedly stopped the crowd from moving forward. He then turned to face the two astronauts and respectfully said, Welcome to Earth (in Chinese).
The astronauts:
W-Welcome toEarth? (in English)
The astronauts:
Chapter 147 - Attack! Jupiter II!
Chapter 147 C Attack! Jupiter II!
Japan, Mount Fuji:
Under the horrified gazes of many tourists, the Life Sphere rolled and bounced down from the top of the mountain, only coming to a stop when it collided with the fence at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing this, Chen Yu, who was hovering high in the sky, immediately turned off the plasma engine and descended.
Boom!
Chen Yu landed heavily with a loud noise, his landing sending dirt and gravel into the air. Cracks had also formed on the tiles he landed on.
Meanwhile, the vibrations his impact caused had spread at least several dozen meters away
ȥޥ! (Ultraman!)
ϺΤǤ? (Whats that?)
Crap? Theres a Superman in Japan?
My god
I know him! Hes Transdimensional Reviews host!
U㥹`?ɤ? (Broadcaster? From where?)
The gathered tourists gasped at Chen Yus appearance. And the number of gathered tourists increased, the commotion quickly attracted more than a dozen security guards to the scene.
However, when these security guards saw the cracked bricks beneath Chen Yu, none of them dared to step forward. Hurriedly, they picked up their communicators and called for reinforcements.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu completely ignored the gathered crowd. After patting the dust off his armor, he elegantly walked toward the Life Sphere.
[Forcibly acting cool is the best.]
[Ill give this act a full score.]
[Are you pretending to be the Terminator?]
[UP is much better than the Terminator. With the 404 gun in hand, who could possibly fight him?]
[There are actually people on site that recognize UP?]
[UP is growing increasingly famous. As a long-time fan, I feel glad.]
[I feel that if UP continues showing off like this, the news media wont be able to continue suppressing information on him]
After approaching the Life Sphere, Chen Yu looked through the sphere and observed Nintendos representative. Noticing that the other party was winking at him, it was evident that the representative was healthy. Immediately, he opened the spheres hatch.
Flush
After some of the lubricating fluid gushed out of the Life Sphere, the miserable-looking representative climbed out and rubbed his sore back. He then made a 90-degree bow to Chen Yu and said, Thank you very much!
No problem. You guys spent the money, Chen Yu said, smiling as he raised the Life Sphere and emptied the lubricating fluid inside it. He then asked, How was it? Was it fun?
It was fascinating.
In that case, describe your experience to the audience in detail.
Hai! The representative nodded. He then faced forward and earnestly said, This is a very rare and honored opportunity-
Okay! Chen Yu suddenly applauded and interrupted the other partys words. Wonderfully said. I hope I get to interact with you next time.
I Thank you. This is also my wish.
Dont forget the two points I mentioned. Lower the price and improve your gaming hardware.
Very well. We will improve ourselves.
Nintendo is an excellent company. Do you need me to send you home?
Hearing this, the representative hurriedly nodded his head and considerately said, N-No need. This is my home. Ill go back on my own.
Okay. I wish you a happy day.
Thank you.
After picking up the Life Sphere, Chen Yu sent a glance at his surroundings. And any tourists that made eye contact with him would promptly back away in fear.
This, is a good place.
After leaving behind a meaningful sentence, Chen Yu activated the plasma engine and soared into the sky, disappearing to the top of Mount Fuji.
A good place A good place?
A dazed look appeared on the representatives face
After returning to Phoenix Mountain through the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu could not help but be taken aback when he saw the several dozen villagers before him.
Those here to watch the fun, please step back. Do not affect the review process, Chen Yu reminded.
Meanwhile, the tourist whom Chen Yu had previously scared away pointed at him and said, Thats it! Thats it! Thats the one! Our friend
Youre saying thats the first alien?
This alien is high-tech. Its actually capable of flying.
I told you so. Our Phoenix Mountain is a treasure land. Even aliens are vying for it.
The extraterrestrial incident that happened many years ago might be a scout?
Maybe theyre starting their relocation
After listening to the villagers chattering, Chen Yu could not help but laugh. Interesting.
[Lololol.]
[Theyre treating UP as an alien. How dumb.]
[Theyre just misinformed. Whats there to feel superior about?]
[Perhaps, what theyre saying might be the truth.]
[Truth. +1]
Whir
Just as Chen Yu was about to ignore the villagers and continue with his review, four military helicopters slowly approached from a distance and hovered directly above Phoenix Mountain. Armed soldiers then jumped off the helicopters with the help of ropes.
The soldiers are here!
Helicopters!
The villagers cheered at the soldiers arrival.
We made a huge achievement this time!
Well definitely be receiving medals and a 500-yuan reward!
The government sure is good. Theyre afraid that well get bullied by aliens, so they even specifically deployed troops to protect us.
Boom, boom, boom
When the armed soldiers landed, they promptly started driving the villagers away without hesitation.
The villagers: ???
Mr. King, the area has been cleared. Those people wont affect your show anymore. A minute later, the captain of the soldiers approached Chen Yu and saluted him. You can continue with your program.
Okay, thank you.
Nodding, Chen Yu stopped paying attention to the villagers and looked toward the two astronauts, asking, Looking at your outfits, are you planning to go to space?
Yes. We wish to visit one of Jupiters moon, Jupiter II.
Jupiter II?
Yes. The two astronauts nodded earnestly.
I know what youre trying to do. Chen Yus eyes glowed with excitement and realization. Without hesitation, he took out two items from his backplates storage.
One was the glove for his right hand.
The other was the High-frequency Lightsaber.
Im definitely participating in this interesting endeavor. Lets go. After saying so, Chen Yu put on his armored glove and approached the Interstellar Portal to establish a spatial link with Jupiters second moon.
Meanwhile, with the surrounding soldiers help, the two astronauts squeezed into the Life Sphere and tightly shut the hatch.
Buzz!
As the spatial link was established, a world of black and white appeared beyond the arch.
Will your suits be fine? Chen Yu asked skeptically as he picked up the Life Sphere. That place is considerably cold. Dont die.
This spacesuit is made of a double-layer aluminum-plated polyimide film with a special neoprene sealing layer inside, which provides good heat insulation. Thank you for your concern.
But In a low tone, Chen Yu asked, Arent your spacesuits a little too light? Wheres the outer protective cover?
After a moment of silence, one of the astronauts pulled at the outer nylon layer of his spacesuit and said, We only have this.
[This is the spirit of dedication!]
[Im tearing up. What about you guys?]
[Im crying.]
[Im crying.]
[I covered my mouth to prevent myself from crying, as well as beatbox while Im at it.]
[I heard theres life inside Jupiter II?]
[This is a good move from the government. Jupiter IIs surface consists entirely of a frozen ocean. Theres a high chance that life exists within it.]
[Jupiter II is very geologically active. The temperature below the frozen surface is relatively high.]
[Isnt the ice layer very thick? How do they plan on breaking through it?]
[It should be enough to just take some ice samples from the surface. Moreover, you can survey the ocean below with the right equipment.]
[Didnt you see UP taking out his 40-meter cleaver?]
Chen Yu stood in place and gave the two astronauts a deep look. He then shrugged and said, You guys really have guts. Fine, then. Pay attention to your safety. Im very interested in this activity, so Ill help out.
After Chen Yu said so, under the gaze of several dozen armed soldiers and the livestreams one million viewers, he stepped through the Interstellar Portal and instantly crossed over a distance of 700 million kilometers, arriving on the frozen Jupiter II
Boom!
After setting the sphere down, Chen Yu stepped back and stretched out his hand, saying, Please start your performance.
Inside the sphere, after the two astronauts exchanged one last look with each other, they pulled down the sealing layer of their helmets and activated their life support system. They then decisively opened the hatch and exited the sphere!
Chapter 148 - Power of Destruction (1)
Chapter 148 C Power of Destruction (1)
Jupiter II was also known as Europa. It was the sixth closest satellite to the planet Jupiter and was discovered by Galileo in 1610.
As to why the satellite was labeled as Jupiter II, it was because during the time Galileo had discovered the moon, it was the second-closest moon located to Jupiter.
Jupiter II was a mystical satellite.
The satellite was mystical to a point where almost all astronauts yearned to visit it.
Why? It was because this was an ocean moon
Jupiter IIs surface was covered in a thick layer of ice. And underneath that ice layer was a warm ocean.
As life on Earth had originated from the ocean, many people had theorized and believed that Jupiter IIs marine environment, which closely resembled Earth, might also be a home to life!
In fact, some have theorized that there was a highly developed civilization living within Jupiter II. Of course, the possibility of this theory being true was incredibly slim.
However, if life indeed existed within Jupiter II, then society, form, philosophy, consciousness, way of thinking, contradictory concepts, and other aspects of human civilization would undergo earth-shaking transformations.
Without question, uncovering Jupiter IIs truth would become the most significant achievement in the entire history of human spaceflight.
For this reason, NASA had also arranged for a senior astronaut to explore Jupiter II. Unfortunately, despite all the money they spent on donating to Transdimensional Reviews livestream, they had absolutely no share in this historic moment
Regarding this situation, NASAs internal staff members grew furious and made a radical evaluation of Chen Yu: An extremely narrow-minded and selfish racist that lacks international spirit and free will
Boom!
After arriving on Jupiter II, Chen Yu set down the Life Sphere and took a step back. He then said, Please start your performance.
After exchanging glances with each other, the two astronauts skillfully switched on their life support systems and decisively opened the Life Spheres hatch!
Crack Crack, crack
However, as soon as the astronauts opened the hatch, Jupiter IIs pseudo-space environment immediately caused the lubricating fluid inside the sphere to boil and sublimate! Immediately afterward, the extremely low temperature of minus 160 degrees Celsius caused the evaporated gas to freeze instantly, firmly solidifying the two astronauts in place and preventing them from moving.
In the blink of an eye, ice and fog permeated the inside of the Life Sphere.
It was both beautiful and deadly
Dammit.
One of the astronauts reacted quickly and immediately closed the hatch. Subsequently, the temperature and pressure inside the sphere rapidly returned to normal levels. The frozen mist softened once more and transformed into a liquid that fell to the bottom.
Although the aerospace institutes plan had accounted for the lubricating fluids sublimation, they never thought that a lubricant from the future would sublimate and freeze so rapidly
Lets gather samples of the fluid first, one of the astronauts suggested through radio communication.
Okay.
The two astronauts immediately opened their boxes and took out specialized collection containers to collect the Life Spheres lubricating fluid.
Meanwhile, when Chen Yu saw that the two astronauts were not in danger, he shifted his attention toward his surrounding environment.
As far as he could see, Jupiter II was a world of ice and snow. The satellites surface also reflected the distant suns rays with excellent efficiency. If one were to stare at a single location for too long, their eyes would start to sting from the reflected light.
Jupiter IIs surface was uneven and covered with many stranded glaciers and scattered bare rocks.
Looking up, Chen Yu could faintly see a sparse gas layer and even moving clouds. He guessed that the clouds might be mist formed liquid ammonia and driven by thin methane gas.
[So, this is Jupiter II? How beautiful!]
[Aside from Earth, Jupiter II is the celestial body with the most water content in our solar system.]
[The more water it has, the more likely it is to give birth to life.]
[I have a question. Why isnt this water captured by Jupiters gravity field?]
[Having water doesnt mean it has life.]
[Sorry, but Jupiter II has clay minerals! Coupled with its deep-sea temperature, the possibility of life existing on Jupiter II is extremely high! Its just that current humans still cant prove this.]
[Industry insider here. Many people in academia believe that there is life in Jupiter IIs sea.]
What a mystical celestial body Chen Yu muttered to himself as he bent down to pick up a piece of sturdy, crushed ice.
Crack!
At this time, the Life Spheres lid opened once more. After storing away a large portion of the lubricating fluid, the two astronauts no longer had their movements restrained when they opened the lid. Hence, they were able to climb out of the Life Sphere, albeit with some trouble.
As the astronauts were unable to verbally communicate with Chen Yu, instead of wasting time trying to communicate with him, they immediately went to work as soon as they climbed out of the Life Sphere.
The two astronauts had clearly divided their tasks. One person was responsible for setting up the various equipment, while the other person was responsible for collecting ice samples using a sharp alloy pick and electric hammer drill.
Due to Jupiters gravitational pull on Jupiter II, cracks would sometimes form on the moons thick ice layer, which, in turn, causes a large amount of seawater to gush out from the ocean layer. Hence, even without digging through Jupiter IIs entire ice layer, it was possible to collect samples of the moons seawater and analyze its composition. Only, the analysis wouldnt be very accurate.
As the astronauts conducted their work, the number of viewers in the five livestream rooms also rose wildly.
Among these latecomers, a considerable portion were elites of the academic world. These people were all watching the most crucial extraterrestrial work in human history from a rigorous perspective
Four minutes later, the astronaut responsible for setting up equipment excitedly pressed down on the sealing button, successfully activating the scanning equipment. He then returned to the Life Sphere and began surveying his surrounding environment and the activities under the ice.
The scanning equipment set up had two transmission terminals; one was aimed at the two astronauts microcomputers, while the other was aimed at Earth, which was billions of kilometers away. This ensured that all information collected would be secured even if the astronauts were met with an accident.
Im done on my side.
Ill be done soon as well, the ice-shaving astronaut said as he accelerated his working speed.
You Your spacesuit is damaged, the astronaut responsible for setting up the equipment said, an ugly expression forming on his face as he scanned his partners vital data. Did it get damaged inside the sphere just now? Hurry up and return.
Oh, it mightve gotten damaged when I was shaving the ice No problem, only two more sample sets to go!
Ill help you.
No! Dont come over! The ice is too sharp. The ice-shaving astronaut stopped his partner from approaching. Turning his head and looking at the misty gas escaping from a gap in his left waist, he gritted his teeth and started using even greater force to swing his ice pick.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom
With each swing the astronaut made, the tear in his spacesuit also grew increasingly larger. Seeing this, he decided to go for broke and used all his strength to swing his pick and chiseling the ice.
Meanwhile, even when Chen Yu saw this scene from nearby, he did not express anything. He simply focused the camera on this determined astronaut.
Since this was an interactive event, they needed to play by the events rules.
Every persons work, no matter how great it was, must be completed by themselves
Boom!!
With a loud boom, the astronaut finally broke through a two-meter-layer of solid ice and collected two sample sets from within. He then stored the samples in a special container.
Come back quickly. Your pressure indicator is too low.
The ice-shaving astronaut looked at his partner hesitantly. However, in the next moment, instead of returning, the astronaut dashed another 10 meters away and struck a bare rock with his pick.
What the fuck are you trying to do?!
Dont come over! Right away! Ill be done right away!
With sweat covering his forehead, the ice-shaving astronaut hastily grabbed a piece of chiseled rock before dashing back to the Life Sphere.
Hurry up!
The other astronaut hurriedly opened the Life Spheres lid and helped his partner into the sphere.
Hu After closing the lid behind him, the ice-shaving astronaut carefully packed his pick and removed his helmet. He then breathed out a sigh of relief, his face distorting from the immense excitement he felt. This thing really is a lifesaver. Its even more reliable than a spacecrafts cabin.
Are you tired of living? Why couldnt you just swap with me?
Swap with you? Dream on! The ice-shaving astronaut clicked his tongue. This contribution belongs solely to me! Im going to go down in history! Ill smack whoever tries to snatch this achievement from me! Moreover, I got us so many samples. If they dont give me credit for this, Ill throw them all away!
The other astronaut also removed his helmet and helplessly chuckled, The communication channel is still open. The command center will be able to hear this later.
Why would I bother saying this if they cant hear me? It just happens that my partner and I are getting married soon. Hehe. With this, well have a house as well.
Arent I your partner?
Scram.
Chapter 149 - Power of Destruction (2)
Chapter 149 C Power of Destruction (2)
After seeing that the two astronauts had safely returned into the Life Sphere, Chen Yu relaxed. He then faced the camera and started speaking.
As the two players from the donation group are going to rest for a bit, Ill start my performance next. For safetys sake, though
Pausing, Chen Yu walked up to the Life Sphere and waved at the two astronauts. Afterward, he abruptly kicked the Life Sphere!
Boom!
The two astronauts wore dumbfounded expressions on their faces as they flew over a hundred meters into the air. The Life Sphere also drew a beautiful arc as it flew across the air and landed at a distant location
[With that kind of kick, you should consider joining the national football team.]
[Watching these brave astronauts have caused my blood to boil, and I cant help but want to do something. Hence, I turned my body around.]
[UP is going to start showing off!]
For safetys sake, Ill have them stay further away from me.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the lightsaber in his hand and cautiously pressed down on the power button.
Buzz! Buzz!
The instant the beam of plasma appeared, it immediately came under the restraint of a strong magnetic field and turned into the shape of a sword.
Manipulating the plasma engine, Chen Yu flew high into the air while simultaneously adjusting the lightsabers length to 10 meters and width to one meter. He then looked toward the camera and explained, The energy consumption will be too great if I extend the lightsaber to 40 meters, so I think 10 meters is sufficient.
Now, viewers in the livestream rooms, make sure not to blink because next up, youre going to witness the most magnificent scene in the history of humanitys extraterrestrial exploration!
After stabilizing himself in mid-air, Chen Yu slowly flipped his position, letting his head face down and legs face upward. He then gripped the lightsaber with both hands and aimed it straight at Jupiter IIs icy surface. Battle music, start!
As soon as Chen Yu said so, Deja Vu started playing in the livestream rooms background.
(Ive just been in this place before)
(Higher on the street)
(And I know its my time to go)
Counting down from three.
Three!
[3333!]
[33.]
[33333]
Two!
[222!]
[2!]
A hundred meters away, the two astronauts inside the Life Sphere leaned against the Life Spheres inner surface and stared at Chen Yu without blinking.
On Earth, the people working in the various nations scientific research centers also subconsciously leaned closer towards their respective screens.
At this moment, national boundaries momentarily ceased to exist.
The importance of searching for alien life surpassed everything
One!
Chen Yu shouted and revved up the plasma engine.
[1111!]
[Charge!]
[11!]
[UP! Youre the damned ruler of the world!]
Charge!
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud sound, blue flames instantly burst out of the protective suits backplate. The flames propelled Chen Yu toward the frozen ocean below like a sharp arrow.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
In front of the lightsabers plasma blade, the originally solid layer of ice provided no resistance whatsoever. Even after entering the ice layer, Chen Yu continued descending smoothly.
Whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh
The camera also followed Chen Yu into the one-meter-diameter hole. However, aside from Chen Yus legs, the livestreams audience could only see the rapidly receding ice wall.
[How scary! Can the host penetrate the Earths crust as easily as this as well?]
[If the host isnt afraid of heat, he can penetrate even stars.]
[I suddenly feel that this lightsaber is a cheat]
[Most future technologies are cheats.]
[I just want to see how many more maddening products UP can bring out in the future.]
The thickness of Jupiter IIs frozen sea layer exceeded 100 kilometers.
That was 10 times the depth of the Mariana Trench!
The universe, was a terrifying existence.
Just the satellite of one gaseous planet already possessed a certain aspect that far exceeded the limits of human imagination.
Chen Yu descended through the ice layer at a speed of 700 meters per second. In just two minutes, he already sensed that he had reached the bottom of the ice layer.
Boom
Boom
The faint sound of ice cracking started appearing above him. This resulted from the massive ice layer compressing under the forces of gravity, which, in turn, collapsed the tunnel Chen Yu had created.
However, Chen Yu did not mind this situation. After all, he knew that, so long as he entered the liquid ocean, the immense water pressure would instantly reopen the collapsed tunnel as well as create the most shocking scene the solar system had seen for the past few centuries
Whoosh
Boom.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Boom
The sound of ice being cut and ice collapsing intertwined with each other, giving the livestreams 1.2 million viewers a strange viewing experience.
[This is too damned addictive!]
[I suspect Im watching a film from the 25th century.]
[High energy ahead!]
[Nonsense. Hes going to reach the bottom soon. Of course theres going to be high energy.]
[Its either magma or the ocean.]
[Closing my eyes in advance. Im scared]
The shape of the ice has changed. Squinting, Chen Yu suppressed his excited heart and announced, Were here!
Pshh!
Chen Yu felt his body being enveloped in a gentle liquid after hearing a muffled sound. Immediately afterward, a terrifying pressure struck him from below and sent him flying upward!
Boom!
The ocean was roaring.
The ice layer was breaking.
The whole moon was shaking.
This was a sound that came from the depths of hell. It surpassed even the sound of hundreds of nuclear weapons detonating simultaneously. And as the sound passed through the liquid in a corrugated form, it shattered both ice and rocks. Even Chen Yus armor shook in resonation.
God damn I really crossed the line now
As this thought flashed across Chen Yus mind, the sounds of the successive impacts caused him to grow dizzy.
If not for the protective suits protection, just these sound waves alone wouldve shattered all his internal organs
Boom!
Another loud boom appeared, and the water pressure grew even stronger!
While strongly exerting pressure on each other, an inestimably large amount of seawater escaped through the vent hole Chen Yu created.
Meanwhile, back above the ice layer, inside the Life Sphere
One of the astronauts vaguely noticed something, and his expression changed. He asked, D-Do you feel that the ball is moving?
I felt it.
T-This feels like the ice layer is bulging.
Thats normal, the ice-shaving astronaut said as he waved off his partner. With a relief point appearing in the ice layer, the seawater will get compressed into it, which will cause the ice layer to deform. This is a standard occurrence.
Is it
The other astronaut nodded without fully understanding the subject.
Boom!
However, as the ice layers swelling became increasingly exaggerated and the noise coming from below repeated incessantly, the astronaut looked at his partner and asked, I-Is this normal as well?
N-No This is abnormal the ice-shaving astronaut said, gulping. How can the ice layer bulge to such an extent? Cracks and water leaks frequently occur on Jupiter II, but none of them have ever resulted in such a situation.
Could it be because the crack the host created is a one-meter-diameter circle? The cracks that previously formed were long and narrow, so the pressure the ice layer was subjected to in those instances isnt particularly significant.
I dont know. The only thing I know is that we should run
As soon as the ice-shaving astronaut made this suggestion, the ice layers bulging suddenly increased, the immense force generated sending the Life Sphere flying into the air.
In the next moment
Booomm!!!
The earth shattered
Subsequently, a water column reaching over eight kilometers in width shot out of the ice layer and reached a height of 270 kilometers!
Also, the diameter of the water column was still expanding as the ice layer continuously fragmented.
Needless to say, the equipment that the astronauts painstakingly set up before shattered instantly.
The two astronauts also disappeared without a trace.
Chen Yu, who had momentarily fallen into a dizzy state, also snapped out of his daze. And without hesitation, he activated the plasma engine and flew out of the seawater.
Meanwhile, as the camera emerged from the seawater, the livestreams viewers also got to witness the entirety of this horrific oceanic eruption.
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Is Jupiter II going to disintegrate?]
[Armageddon.]
[This is too terrifying. Places outside of Earth are too scary]
[Shocked.]
[Crap!]
[Quick, look! Jupiter is sucking away a portion of the seawater!]
[How tall is that thing?]
[Quick! See if theres a civilization in the sea or not!]
[Even if there was a civilization before, there wouldnt be any now]
[Humanity: We love peace.]
[True Peace.]
Chapter 150 - Do You Want to Wipe That as Well?
Chapter 150: Do You Want to Wipe That as Well?
Chapter 150 C Do You Want to Wipe That as Well?
This was a spectacular scene beyond human imagination, and no words could be used to describe it.
As the pressure accumulated within Jupiter II for hundreds of millions of years found a release, it resulted in a water column with a diameter exceeding 10 kilometers being created. And in the moons near-vacuum and frigid atmosphere, the ejected water boiled, evaporated, sublimated, and solidified, before being destroyed by the subsequent latecomers, restarting the entire process again.
In addition, when the ejected seawater reached the highest point of the water column, it would also break away from Jupiter IIs gravitational field and subsequently captured by the distant gas giants gravity. As this process got repeated one time after another, a line made of solid and gas appeared to be stretching toward Jupiter.
If one looked from afar, they would find this scene to be beautiful and captivating. No artist would be capable of creating such a soul-stirring work.
[How magical.]
[No movie can replicate this scene.]
[Have you never seen a supernova before? I was at the scene of one. It was much more shocking!]
[How can water pressure possibly tear through an ice layer thats 100 kilometers thick? This is obviously fake. This scene has just exposed the programs use of computer special effects.]
[We all possess human brains, so how can you be so dumb?]
[I feel that UP will one day detonate a star]
[Am I the only one to notice that the astronauts are gone?]
[Host, what are you daydreaming for! Time to go fishing!]
Boom Boom Boom
Amidst the deafening roar of the ocean, Chen Yu flew higher and farther from the water column. Simultaneously, he also searched for the two unlucky astronauts.
However, even after searching for over 10 minutes, he still hadnt found a trace of the Life Sphere.
This is a little troublesome. Facing the camera, Chen Yu awkwardly said, The water column is too large. Trying to find the Life Sphere in it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Moreover, they mightve been shot into space already. That will make it even more impossible to locate them
The sudden bad news caught the excited audience completely off-guard, and they could not help but feel a chill crawl down their spines.
Of course, that is only true if I limited myself to my eyes. It is still possible to locate them using other more troublesome means. After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out the lightsaber from his storage. He then flew toward the freezing water column.
I need some help. People from the aerospace institute that are watching the stream, prepare a radiolocation device for me. The sooner, the better.
Ill head back to Earth immediately.
Boom
The closer Chen Yu got to the water column, the louder the tremors became.
However, as seawater continued being ejected from Jupiter II, the pressure the ice layer was subjected to gradually decreased, and the size of the water column began shrinking. Simultaneously, the water columns outermost layer that had lost pressure started forming a permanent wall that enveloped the shrinking water column.
Taking advantage of this situation, Chen Yu flew at the solidified ice wall and smashed his fist onto its surface.
Boom!
Several cracks appeared on the frozen surface.
The water froze to such an extent already?
Seeing this, Chen Yu had no choice but to use the High-frequency Lightsaber again to continue advancing.
Whoosh
The lightsaber was unstoppable. In less than half a minute, Chen Yu had pierced through the ice wall and entered the actual water column. He was then propelled upward by the immense water pressure.
Powering down his lightsaber and revving up the plasma engine, Chen Yu chose to face the terrifying water pressure head-on and propelled himself down toward the Interstellar Portals location.
While diving downward, he also did not forget to explain the situation to his audience to prevent awkward silence.
The Interstellar Portal is a spatial technology product. Its position is firmly fixed at a point on the dimensional space system, with the host planets gravitational force being used as a reference. Hence, regardless of how strong the water pressure is, it wouldnt be capable of moving the Interstellar Portal. Meanwhile, so long as we teleport back to Earth and return with a scanning device, everything will be alright.
As Chen Yu was contending with the water pressure, his speed of advance was languid.
Fortunately, the water column was no longer in its initial burst phase, and its pressure had dropped drastically. After struggling for a dozen minutes or so, Chen Yu was finally able to see Interstellar Portal suspended in the water column.
Were here. That sure was a difficult journey. Speaking of, this situation truly is amazing. A small hole of one-meter diameter was actually capable of causing such a huge chain reaction.
Further accelerating, Chen Yu shot through the portal and arrived back on Earths Phoenix Mountain. Without resting, he approached the captain of the armed soldiers and said, Contact your superiors and tell them to give me the aerospace institutes address. Ill head over immediately.
Yes, sir.
The soldier treated Chen Yu as if he were his senior officer. After saluting, the soldier took out his communicator and contacted his superior.
My King, what about the two other people? Little Peach asked suspiciously as she approached Chen Yu and eyed the water world inside the portal.
Theyre having an outer space honeymoon.
Little Peach: ?
Mr. King! The captain approached Chen Yu with large strides. He then presented Chen Yu with a neatly written note and said, This is the aerospace institutes detailed address.
Thanks.
After receiving the note, Chen Yu quickly established a spatial link to the recorded address and stepped through the portal.
Hes here!
At the aerospace institutes square, over a hundred people had long since gathered here. As soon as they saw the Interstellar Portal appearing, they promptly rushed up to the metal arch.
Hello, it is a great honor to meet you. I am the aerospace research institutes director. My name is Zhao-
Wheres the thing? Chen Yu disrespectfully interrupted the elderly mans words. Stretching out his hand, he demanded, Give it to me.
Ah Ah, here! Here it is!
After being briefly stupefied, the old man hurriedly passed a device resembling an old-fashioned cellular phone to Chen Yu and explained, You can determine the position of the astronauts using this device. Their spacesuits are equipped with automatic positioning transmitters, so there is no need to use radiolocation to locate them.
How do I use it?
Simple. There are a total of 12 indicator lights corresponding to 12 different directions. You just need to follow the direction of whichever indicator is lit up.
Okay.
Nodding, Chen Yu turned around and started reestablishing a spatial link to Jupiter II.
Taking advantage of this extremely precious opportunity, the institute director made a sidelong glance. Immediately afterward, a beautiful young lady fully clad in a protective suit rushed forward and started graciously wiping down Chen Yus armor with a white cloth.
Huh?
Feeling a little dazed, Chen Yu asked, What are you doing?
I-Im wiping the dirty water for you. Youll look more majestic once youre clean, the girl shyly replied, her hands not slowing down at the slightest.
Oh, you provide this kind of service as well? Not bad, not bad. But why do I feel as if there are steel wires inside your towel? I keep hearing scratching sounds.
N-No! There are absolutely no steel wires in it! the girl sternly assured. Inwardly, though, she muttered to herself, There are only razor blades
Wipe the inner thighs too, then, Chen Yu said as he spread his legs.
Okay, okay! The girl grew overjoyed and hurriedly nodded her head. She then squatted down and said, Ill wipe the crotch as well.
That wont be necessary, Chen Yu flatly refused. He then turned toward the old director and asked, Right, what did you say your name was just now?
M-My name is Zhao Dabao.[1]
What a blessed name.
Thank you
After several more seconds passed, Chen Yu pushed the girl away and said, The spatial link is established. Im leaving.
I just finished as well. Y-You can go now.
Mhm.
Nodding, Chen Yu stopped wasting time and stepped through the portal.
After seeing Chen Yus departure, the old director could no longer suppress his excitement as he said, Quick! Head to the lab and separate the blades from the towel! See if theres anything on them!
D-Director, are we not going to wait for the astronauts here?
Those two brats are still alive and kicking! Forget about them! Now, hurry!
I have a hunch that were going to make a big discovery! Oh, bring a knife here as well. See if we can scrape anything off this portal
Chapter 151 - Foolish Humans (1)
Chapter 151 C Foolish Humans (1)
Beep.
Beep
With the indicators help, Chen Yu quickly found the Life Sphere hovering above Jupiter II.
Through the Life Spheres transparent walls, Chen Yu could clearly see the two astronauts hugging their own knees as they soaked in the spheres lubricating fluid. They also wore a bewildered look on their faces as they stared into the endless space.
[I suddenly feel pity for them.]
[Im breaking into tears, hahaha.]
[Theres no resistance in space. If UP doesnt rescue them, theyll just slowly float across space.]
[Sigh. The livestream is ending soon.]
[I enjoyed todays episode.]
After flying up to the Life Sphere, Chen Yu made a few taps on the surface.
Thud, thud, thud.
Anybody home?
When the two astronauts heard the knocking sounds, they promptly turned toward the source.
Hi. Waving at the astronauts, Chen Yu said, You guys are safe now.
Unable to hold back their emotions anymore, the two astronauts immediately embraced each other and cheered out in excitement.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu hugged the Life Sphere and flew back to Jupiter IIs surface. Just as he was about to head through the Interstellar Portal, the two astronauts inside the sphere urgently knocked on the sphere.
You guys still want to go out? Pointing at the ice pillar that reached over a hundred kilometers in height, Chen Yu asked, You want to collect that ice?
In response, the astronauts nodded repeatedly.
Okay.
Finding the astronauts request to be troublesome and a waste of time, Chen Yu approached the ice pillar and took out the lightsaber. He then cut out a big chunk of ice and tossed it into the Life Sphere.
On the one hand, the astronauts had gone through a lot of trouble, even going as far as to risk their lives to collect a small group of samples.
On the other hand, Chen Yu had casually grabbed a bunch of samples
The strong sense of contrast allowed everyone who was watching this scene to understand the importance of technology.
After arriving before the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu turned back to give the gigantic icicle one last look before leaving.
This epic piece of art would not disappear even after hundreds of millions of years.
This was the first stroke he had left on this universe.
He also believed it wouldnt be long before he made his second stroke
After sending off the two astronauts, Chen Yu returned to the top of Phoenix Mountain.
After adjusting the camera angle, he made his signature gesture and summarized the livestream. Dear viewers in the livestream rooms, although the length of todays additional livestream has exceeded my expectations, it is not at all boring. Despite being small in size, the Life Sphere has greatly satisfied our curiosity towards the world around us and allowed us to break through our limits.
At this moment, I believe that not many people would continue treating the Life Sphere as a simple toy.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke once said that humans would only show heroic courage when protecting their own lives.
Meanwhile, the Life Sphere has provided us with courage in advance.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu spread out his arms.
This has been Transdimensional Review. Thank you for watching and all the support youve shown. We will
Meet again.
[Goodbye.]
[UP, youre the ruler of the world!]
[Goodbye!]
[Husband! I hope to see you again tomorrow!]
[Bye bye.]
After turning off the livestream, Chen Yus spirit immediately relaxed, and he breathed out a sigh of relief.
Its finally over.
Todays additional livestream lasted so long. At this time, Little Peach approached Chen Yu and pointed at the Interstellar Portal, saying, Lets go home.
Mhm. Lets go. After nodding to Little Peach, Chen Yu turned toward the many soldiers nearby and cupped his hands, saying, Thank you for your help today, everyone. Goodbye.
Goodbye!
The soldiers responded powerfully in unison.
W-Wait a minute.
Just as Chen Yu was done establishing the spatial link and was about to leave together with Little Peach, a lone voice suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around suspiciously, Chen Yu could not help but be startled by who he saw. Crap! Xiaomi Technology?!
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Yu Qian forced a smile and asked, I-Is there no part for me?
Why do you have such a weak presence? Chen Yu asked as he held his forehead.
Ive been here the whole time. Lowering his head, Yu Qian mumbled, But it seems nobody noticed me
Chen Yu:
Time passed by quickly.
Jinzhou City, which was located in the northeastern region of China, grew increasingly colder.
Today was an ordinary Monday.
At 7:30 in the morning, the Chen familys four siblings finished their breakfast and, under Chen Yus lead, left home together for school.
As usual, Chen Yu carried Chen Sankes schoolbag in his left hand, Chen Erkes schoolbag in his right hand, Chen Yikes schoolbag on his chest, and his own schoolbag on his back
Its so cold. Shrinking back her neck, Chen Yike said, Humans should hibernate during the winter like brown bears. Why must we go to school?
Because there is only one type of brown bear. Stretching out two fingers, Chen Yu said, However, there are two types of humans.
Two types? Chen Yike asked dubiously.
There are northerners like us and southerners that live in the south. The south is especially warm, so people living there dont need to hibernate. Since the southerners arent hibernating, we naturally wouldnt hibernate either.
So, thats the case! Chen Erke exclaimed.
So, thats the case! Chen Sanke exclaimed.
Chen Yike: Brother, can you stop talking nonsense? Youll misguide little children.
Children must have unconstrained thinking to help them grow up healthily, Chen Yu said, shrugging.
Other peoples elder brothers are calm and mature, Chen Yike stated, clicking her tongue. You, on the other hand, are spouting nonsense all day long. You dont look like an elder brother at all.
Stopping his footsteps, Chen Yu scratched the back of his neck and asked, Let me ask you, which family do you know has two children and disregards the family planning policy?
Why does our family have four children, then? Chen Yike asked a question that struck the soul.
After remaining silent for a long time, Chen Yu nodded and said, Yes, why does our family have four children?
Dont ask. After a moment, Chen Yu waved his hand and renewed his footsteps. Youll set yourself up if you ask.
Chen Yike grew speechless.
After a short while, the Chen familys four siblings arrived before a kindergarten.
Stopping, Chen Yu passed the schoolbag in his left hand to Chen Sanke. He then gave his usual instructions, Listen to the teacher, have fun, and pay attention to safety.
Mhm! Chen Sanke nodded. She then resumed her footsteps, and clumsily walked forward.
Wait a minute! Seemingly thinking of something, Chen Yu stopped Chen Sanke.
What is it? Chen Sanke asked.
Chen Yu then pointed at the kindergartens iron gate and solemnly said, You can have your fun, but do not ever lick the iron gate with your tongue. You cant lick iron railings either.
Hearing this, Chen Sanke blankly turned to look at the iron gate and tilted her head. Why?
Your tongue will get frozen and stuck to the gate. Once more, Chen Yu repeated, Dont lick the iron gate.
Nn. Chen Sanke nodded in a blur.
Alright, go to school.
Bye-bye, Big Brother.
Goodbye.
Chen Sanke renewed her footsteps and marched toward the kindergarten.
However, when she arrived before the iron gate, she suddenly stopped, and idly stared at the gate.
Crap! Seeing this from afar, Chen Yu smacked his thigh and quickly rushed forward. Third Eldest! Dont-
However, Chen Sanke quickly stretched out her tongue and got it stuck to the iron gate
-lick it
Ha? With her tongue stuck tightly to the iron gate, Chen Sanke glanced at Chen Yu with difficulty and asked, Cahnt ah eck et? (Cant I lick it?)
Chen Yu:
Chen Yike:
Chen Erke:
The female kindergarten teacher standing by the entrance:
Chapter 152 - Foolish Humans (2)
Chapter 152 C Foolish Humans (2)
Ha? With her tongue stuck tightly to the iron gate, Chen Sanke glanced at Chen Yu with difficulty and asked, Cahnt ah eck et?
Smack.
Chen Yu facepalmed, his mind unsure where to start commenting.
Chen Yike: Brother, Third Eldest is stuck.
I can see that.
What should we do?
Go help her, of course!
Chen Yu ran forward in a rage, his mind filled with the urge to swear at Chen Sanke. However, when he saw the little humans pitiful state, he found himself unable to curse. Are youalright?
Uh-huh! Chen Sanke waved her hand indifferently. Ahly mah tahn gah hack. (Only my stuck got stuck.)
Chen Yu:
Yah gah can ga. (You guys can go.)
What should we do? Chen Yike stamped anxiously. Ill go buy some water!
You need to get hot water.
Ill help pull her! Chen Erke enthusiastically suggested.
Youre clearly trying to get revenge! Chen Yu bellowed.
Cahnt eck da gahde. (Cant lick the gate.)
What did she say?
Raising her hand, Chen Erke interpreted, I think she wants us to pull her!
Second Eldest, you stay away! Dont create a bigger mess!
Fine. Chen Erke walked away in frustration. After taking a few steps, though, she reluctantly asked, Are you sure you dont want to try it?
Go!
At this time, two female kindergarten teachers ran over, each one of them holding a thermos in their hands. After running up to Chen Yu, one of the teachers said, Please make some space. Everything will be alright once I pour some hot water on her tongue.
Is the water boiling? Chen Yu asked, frowning. Dont burn my sister.
It wont. Ive mixed cold water with it, so its warm. Were experienced with these situations, so just step aside.
Ill have to trouble you, then. Chen Yu pulled Chen Yike a few steps back with him. He then asked, You said youre experienced in this. Does that mean many other children try to lick the iron gate as well?
Hearing Chen Yus words, the other female teacher glared at him and asked, Did you tell her she cannot lick the iron gate?
Thats right.
You cant say that to children! the female teacher berated angrily. If you dont tell them, who in their right might would think of licking the iron gate?!
Chen Yu:
A few of these cases happen every year. Parents are just unnecessarily worried.
Well, my mistake, then. Chen Yu smiled wryly. I wont repeat it.
Blinking her eyes, Chen Sanke repeated, Cahnt eck da gahde. (Cant lick the gate.)
Dont worry, Sanke. Thinking that Chen Sanke was scared, the teacher standing beside Chen Sanke said, Ill pour some water over your tongue now. Its not hot, so dont move around.
Chen Sanke: Dah yah wahnt tah eck et ah wellh? (Do you want to lick it as well?)
Dont be afraid. Be good~~ The teacher gently patted Chen Sankes head with her left hand while raising the thermos in her right hand. She then carefully poured warm water over Chen Sankes pink little tongue.
Dribble
As the warm water dripped on the joint between the tongue and the iron gate, Chen Sanke felt very comfortable.
Hah fahn. (How fun.)
The teachers had prepared two thermoses. However, as only a small part of Chen Sankes tongue was in contact with the iron gate, they managed to thaw Chen Sankes tongue with just one bottle.
Its done! Sanke, good girl! The teacher breathed out a sigh of relief as she stroked Chen Sankes puffy head. Ill reward you with a little red flower once were inside.
Stretching out her tongue, Chen Sanke asked, You get little flowers if you lick the gate?
Chen Yike:
The two female teachers:
Hahaha! Chen Yu could not help but laugh at Chen Sankes words. Her thought process resembles me!
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke smacked her lips as she savored the flavor on her tongue. So, this is the taste of iron.
One of the female teachers: Thats the taste of your blood
Oh. Chen Sanke nodded ignorantly.
Alright, dont lick the gate next time. Go to school and listen to your teachers, Chen Yu said as he patted Chen Sankes shoulder. He then turned toward the two teachers and politely bowed, Thank you, teachers.
Its okay. Were used to it, one of the teachers said, waving her hand. Dont tell children these strange things in the future. They have poor willpower and are prone to danger.
I understand. Goodbye, teachers.
Goodbye. The female teacher nodded and pulled on Chen Sankes hand. Lets go. Its cold here.
Lets go as well, Chen Yu said. However, after he had turned around and walked a few steps forward with Chen Yike, he suddenly felt that the sound of their footsteps was a little too light. Huh? Wheres Second Eldest?
Second Eldest? Chen Yike was stunned.
Crap! Not good!
Chen Yu quickly reacted and turned around. Immediately afterward, his complexion darkened.
As he feared, Chen Erke currently had her tongue glued to the iron gate
Are you stupid?! Chen Yu roared. Third Eldest just got stuck! Did you not learn anything from it?!
Ha! (Oh!)! With a calm face, Chen Erke vaguely said, Ah kno waht Thir Eldah wah sahyin befah (I know what Third Eldest was saying before.)
Chen Yu:
Shi sahd yah cahnt lick dah gate. (She said you cant lick the gate.)
Just what are you saying? Chen Yu frowned as he walked toward the gate. Right now, he even had the thought of giving Chen Erke a slap.
Dahnt wahry abaht mah (Dont worry about me. Her gaze sharpening, Chen Erke said, Lah Thir Eldah puh mah. (Let Third Eldest pull me.)
Ugh.
Sighing deeply, Chen Yu quickly ran to the two distant kindergarten teachers and shouted, Teachers, can you come back again?
The teachers: ???
Another one of my little sisters got stuck.
The teachers:
Please help. Dont you have another bottle of water?
The two teachers were at a loss for words as they exchanged looks with each other.
After instructing Chen Sanke to return to class on her own, the two teachers hurriedly ran to the gate. After seeing Chen Erkes pitiful appearance, one of the teachers quickly unscrewed her thermos cap and poured warm water over Chen Erkes tongue.
Chen Erke: Lah Thir Eldah puh mah! (Let Third Eldest pull me!)
Im really sorry for the trouble, Chen Yu awkwardly said and bowed. These two little sisters of mine are idiots.
Chen Erke: Lah Thir Eldah puh mah!
Meanwhile, Chen Yike, who stood at a side, agonizingly scratched her head as she muttered, Whats so good about licking gates? Are you crazy
After saying so, Chen Yikes eyes fell onto the iron gate, and her mind fell into deep thought. Half a minute later, she couldnt help but tentatively stick out her tongue
Coincidentally, Chen Yu also caught sight of this scene
Alright. Covering his face with both hands, Chen Yu said, Actually, all three of my little sisters are idiots.
At the same time, Chen Sanke ran back to her classroom while panting for air. Looking at her several dozen friends in the room, she excitedly clapped her hands.
Clap, clap, clap!
After successfully attracting the attention of her friends, she proudly gestured while saying, I have something to tell you guys! Dont lick the iron gate!
Why? a little boy asked while wiping his snotty nose.
Because Because your tongue will get stuck if you lick it! Chen Sanke clumsily explained.
Wow!
How amazing.
Really?
Why?
The childrens eyes glittered with excitement. Afterward, every one of them ran out of the classroom in a hurry
What a disaster
Thirty minutes later, Chen Yu arrived inside Sixth Highs compound. When he recalled the sight of the two wailing female teachers, he could not help feel a lingering fear in his heart.
Just what is so nice about licking a gate? Are they crazy?!
Chen Yu repeatedly cursed as he walked through the compound. However, when he laid eyes on the iron railing on the teaching blocks first floor
Chapter 153 - Daily Life (1)
Chapter 153 C Daily Life (1)
The days without livestreaming were long and quiet.
The additional livestream that took place half a month ago had garnered a total of 1.28 million viewers, bringing Chen Yu 42 points in revenue. Including his leftover points, he now had 55 points in total.
After the additional livestream, Chen Yu would inspect the Transdimensional Store every day. Unfortunately, none of the products recommended managed to catch his eyes. Hence, he had not conducted any more additional livestreams during the past two weeks.
As for the internet, the worlds governments still placed an information lockdown on him. Moreover, they had further strengthened their efforts to keep his existence a secret.
However, as the number of people that knew about Transdimensional Review continuously increased, the various governments blockade started showing signs of failing. This was especially true for countries with lacking control over its media and internet. Some online forums hosted in these countries would even blatantly make posts discussing Chen Yu.
Even so, the various governments were still working hard to prevent news of Chen Yu from spreading further.
After Chen Yu had left them those letters, whether it was for public or private reasons, they all had a good reason to continue their actions.
As for the real world
In the Sixth High Chen Yu resided in, there were definitely students that knew of Transdimensional Review. However, every one of these students carefully concealed this fact, afraid that they would bring trouble to themselves. They would only discuss the channel with their close friends. Meanwhile, on his way to and back from school, Chen Yu occasionally picked up on these conversations with his enhanced hearing.
This was the restriction of Transdimensional Reviews current development.
It was also the result Chen Yu hoped for the most.
His current access level was still too low. Gaining a sudden burst of popularity would do more harm than good to him. Steadily making progress was the right way to go.
What great wisdom!
Chen Yu would lament like this from time to time
Today was a Friday night.
Mother Chen sat on the sofa and browsed through her social media. After getting stimulated by something, she suddenly had the urge to visit her hometown.
Hence, the whole family of six humans and one dog packed up their things and drove to Wafangdian City under Mother Chens command.
The Chen familys car was an old-fashioned Santana. Although the car had passed through many hands before, as Father Chen worked as a car mechanic, the car was well-maintained. The engine used was even the original one still.
The seating arrangement inside the car was very simple. Mother Chen, Chen Yike, and Chen Erke sat at the back, and Chen Yu sat in the passenger seat with Chen Sanke on his lap.
As for the husky, it was stuffed into the trunk.
To prevent the dog from making noise, Chen Yu even secretly prepared a bottle of Niulanshan[1] for it, hoping for it to get drunk and fall asleep
Chen Yu also didnt forget to bring Little Peach on the trip. Currently, she remained invisible as she laid on the Santanas thronethe roof.
Due to Little Peachs presence, Father Chen constantly grumbled throughout the trip. Why does the car feel so heavy today
Jinzhou City was 78 kilometers away from Wafangdian City. Before eight oclock in the evening, the Chen family arrived at the northern entrance of Wafangdian Stadium, which was the place where Mother Chens parents home was located.
When Mother Chen excitedly knocked on the door of her parents house together with her three daughters, Chen Yus maternal grandparents appeared with a bewildered look on their faces.
Grandma: Its not the new years yet. Why are you back? Did you roll off your bed and hit your head?
Grandpa: Did you have an argument? Youre almost fifty! How can you come back to your parents house?!
Mom, dad! What are you talking about! Mother Chen pouted and stamped her feet in dissatisfaction.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yu, for some reason, felt his eyes ache
Mom, I did some calculations. Suppose you two can continue living for another 30 years, and I visit every Spring Festival, Labour Day, and National Day. After deducting the time spent on eating and sleeping, I can only spend three hours with you every day.
While talking, Mother Chens eyes started becoming moist. If we add up these hours, that will only total to 900 hours or 37 days! I can only accompany you for 37 more days! So, I want to extend this time and accompany you more!
You learned that from your social circles, right?! Chen Yu inwardly complained.
He finally knew what had stimulated his mother so much
Hearing their daughters affectionate words, the elderly couple exchanged looks with each other.
Grandpa: Thirty-seven days, huh. Thats a lot.
Grandma: Thats right. Dont extend it anymore
Mother Chen:
Pfft. Chen Yus eyes widened as he tried his best to hold back his laughter. However, he failed to perfectly hide his laughter and still leaked out a snort.
Mother Chen expressionlessly glanced at Chen Yu.
Ah! Chen Erke suddenly cried out in pain as she pulled her hand away from Mother Chens tight grip. Mom, you hurt me.
Cold sweat began appearing on Chen Yus forehead.
Oh? Big Sis is here?
At this time, a robust man in his thirties walked out of the house and greeted the Chen family in surprise. He then rushed up Chen Yu and lifted him up high
Oh! My big nephew! Uncle missed you a lot!
With a pained look, Chen Yu said, Uncle, Im an adult now. Can you stop lifting me like this?
Didnt you like it a lot when you were young?
Uncle! Uncle! Chen Sanke walked over and looked at Chen Yu, who was being raised. She then stretched out her hands and said, I want to go up high too!
Oh, Little Sanke, did you miss Uncle? At Chen Sankes pleading, the robust man casually tossed Chen Yu away and turned around to pick up Chen Sanke. He then placed her on his shoulders and asked, Is that high enough?
Yes! Hahaha! Chen Sanke let out a series of chime-like laughter.
Meanwhile, Chen Yus complexion darkened as he staggered and steadied himself. He then stretched a finger at his uncle and said, I want to go up to your shoulders as well.
Uncle:
Stop standing around. Its cold outside. Come in, Grandpa said as he waved his hand. The Chen family of six then entered the house in a single file.
While following his maternal grandfather through the long hallway, Chen Yu saw that the house was filled with Buddhist statues. Smiling, he said, Grandpa, there are even more Buddhist statues in the house now.
Thats right! Grandpa admitted triumphantly. Little Yu, your Grandpa is still second to none when it comes to believing in Buddhism. Ive studied Buddhism for most of my life. Im a professional at it now!
Did you manage to uncover anything?
Suddenly, Grandpa moved close to Chen Yus ears and lowered his voice, asking, Do you know about probability?
Probability? Chen Yu was shocked. Youre playing probability with Buddha?!
Thats right? Grandpa nodded. If I pray to just one deity, I might not necessarily have my prayers answered. If I pray to 100 deities, however, Im bound to get an answer, right? Also, who can guarantee that theyll have a sincere heart every time they pray? On the other hand, if I make numerous prayers, regardless of whether Im sincere, the deities will at least see that Im working hard and wont mistreat me.
You can do it like that as well? Chen Yu measured his grandfather in admiration.
Moreover A faint smile forming on his face, Grandpa moved closer to Chen Yus ears and said, Only with competition will there be more benefits!
Chen Yu didnt know whether he should laugh or cry right now. I think you dont believe in Buddhism at all. You just like keeping Buddhist statues
Nonsense! Grandpa said with a glare. Come, come, come. Grandpa will show you my Buddha room.
After saying so, Grandpa dragged Chen Yu into a separate room, and inside the room were tons of Buddhist statues!
The room was vast and filled with incense smoke
Cough.
Chen Yu covered his mouth and scanned the various Buddhist statues inside. A-Arent there a little too many? You dont even have a place to stand, let alone squat
I have my reasons, Grandpa said in a triumphant tone. Where there is Buddhas light, there will be demons that turn good. This also gives us the saying of lay down the butchers knife, become a Buddha on the spot. Little Yu, savor it. Carefully savor it.[2]
S-Savor what
If the demon becomes a Buddha, where does its knife go? Grandpa asked, spreading his hands. Wont it fall to my room? That will be disgusting. So, I thoroughly filled this Buddha room, leaving no room for the demon to leave its knife at!
Chen Yus jaw fell
Who would be happy to have a knife placed on their heads? If the demon wants to put down its knife, it can do it in someone elses house. Just dont do it in ours, Grandpa confidently said with his arms akimbo.
After a long silence, Chen Yu slowly raised his thumb and said, Grandpa, youre a real talent
Chapter 154 - Daily Life (2)
The Chen familys sudden visit caught Chen Yus maternal grandparents off-guard. Hence, the Chen family ended up cooking only instant noodles for dinner.
After a simple meal, the adults gathered to play mahjong, while Chen Yu brought the children to another room to play poker.
Despite being married, Chen Yus uncle was still living with his parents.
Coincidentally, Chen Yus aunt returned to her hometown today as well. According to his uncles description, it would seem that his aunt suddenly got stimulated by something after browsing her social circles and ended up packing and leaving for her hometown
Meanwhile, the couple had a son called Liu Xiaojun. The kid was slightly older than Chen Erke, and he grew up very strong and sturdy.
Since young, though, Chen Yu only felt annoyance about this younger cousin brother of his. The boy was a naughty kid among naughty kids. The boy would always recklessly touch and break things with no regard for the consequences.
Along with the Chen familys visit this time, Chen Yus uncle had already warned Liu Xiaojun to behave. However, after two minutes of fun, the boys bad behavior started rearing its ugly head already. He began with doodling on Chen Yikes jacket, followed by breaking Chen Erkes crayons, causing her to cry.
As for Chen Sanke, Liu Xiaojun dare not provoke her. After all, she had given him a painful beating last year
Brother! Hes bullying me! Chen Erke aggrievedly looked to Chen Yu for help as she held out her broken crayons.
Leave it to me!
Chen Yu had long since been waiting for this opportunity. Immediately, he gathered his three little sisters and Liu Xiaojun on the bed. He then took out three opaque cups and held up a coin. It wont be long before Chinese New Year arrives. As the eldest grandchild in the family, I have a responsibility to give you New Years money.
Immediately, Chen Yikes eyes lit up as she said, Love live Big Brother!
Raising her hands, Chen Sanke parroted, Long live Big Brother!
Feeling even more surprised by this situation, Liu Xiaojun said, Cousin, youre awesome!
Chen Erke, however, complained, Brother! He bullied me, yet youre giving him pocket money?
Be good, Chen Yu said as he patted Chen Erkes head. He then put the coin into one of the cups and explained, Lets play a game. As you saw, only one of the four cups has a coin. Youll guess which cup has the coin. Whoever guesses right will get the coin.
Ill guess first! Liu Xiaojun was the first to raise his hand. Me, me, me!
No! Chen Erke bellowed. Anyone but him can go first!
Were the guests. We have to listen to the host. Chen Yu turned down Chen Erkes demand. Well let Xiaojun guess first.
Cousin, youre the best! Liu Xiaojun rubbed his palms together excitedly. Ill never throw cockroaches into your shoes again.
???
Chen Yu was momentarily startled when he heard Liu Xiaojuns words. Immediately afterward, he hurriedly got out of bed and picked up his shoes. Sure enough, he found many cockroaches inside
Motherf
Chen Yu took in a deep breath and held himself back from swearing. Suppressing his anger, he forced a smile and nodded, saying, Excellent. Lets start.
After livestreaming for several months, Chen Yu had become excellent at controlling his surrounding atmosphere and rhythm. After taking control of the situation, he started swiftly shuffling the four cups around.
Five seconds later, Chen Yu stopped shuffling and leaned back, saying, Xiaojun, you can guess first.
Hmm Holding up a finger, Liu Xiaojun fell into deep thought. A moment later, he partially lifted a cup, only to see nothing beneath it.
Hahaha! You lose! Chen Erke jumped up in excitement.
T-That doesnt count! I havent flipped it over completely! Liu Xiaojun shamelessly made up an excuse. Im not familiar with the games rules! This time doesnt count!
Youre making excuses!
Okay, its fine. Chen Yu generously waved his hand. Ill give you one more chance. Take your pick.
I choose this one! The first one! Liu Xiaojun said as he flipped over the first cup. Upon seeing the coin underneath the cup, he immediately grabbed it and laughed, Its here! Hehe! This one yuan is mine! I won!
Hmph! Chen Erke felt greatly wronged in this situation. In a fit of rage, she puffed up her cheeks and turned away with a snort.
Sending his joyful cousin a glance, Chen Yu calmly flipped over the second cup and pulled out a thick roll of banknotes from within it. He then tossed the money to Chen Erke.
Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaojuns actions immediately froze.
Shrugging, Chen Yu flipped over the third cup, pulled out another roll of banknotes, and tossed it to Chen Yike.
Liu Xiaojun:
Finally, he flipped over the fourth cup, pulled out another roll of banknotes, and tossed it to Chen Sanke.
Wow! So much money! Amazing! Chen Erkes sadness instantly transformed into joy.
To rub salt into Liu Xiaojuns wound, Chen Yike even deliberately unrolled her notes and fanned them before him. Long live Big Brother!
Mimicking her eldest sister, Chen Sanke also waved her notes in front of Liu Xiaojun. Hahaha!
Liu Xiaojun pursed his lips and was about to cry. However, he eventually managed to force back his tears and demanded, Again!
Sure, sure, sure.
Chen Yu then turned away with the four cups and fiddled with them. Afterward, he placed a coin beneath one of the cups and started shuffling them.
Chen Yu shuffled the cups much more slowly than before. Anyone paying attention could quickly tell where the coin was. This time, however, Liu Xiaojun did not choose the cup with the coin.
This one! Liu Xiaojun grabbed a cup and reached into it, only to be taken aback immediately.
The cup he grabbed was actually empty.
Seeing this, Chen Sankes eyes glowed with realization, and she promptly reached out to grab the cup with the coin. I pick this one!
After flipping over the cup, Chen Sanke pulled out a roll of 10-yuan bills from within. She then fanned the bills before Liu Xiaojun while laughing jovially. Hahaha.
Uu Liu Xiaojun sobbed. A moment later, he angrily wiped away his tears and demanded, Again!
No problem.
Chen Yu nodded without hesitation. Turning away, he fiddled with the cups for another half a minute. When he turned back around, he pulled out a one-yuan coin and hid it beneath one of the cups. Now, lets start shuf-
This one!
Without waiting for Chen Yu to start shuffling, Liu Xiaojun arbitrarily grabbed the cup with the coin and flipped it over, only to find that it was empty
Hah The future of Old Lius family is worrisome.
Chen Yu sighed. He then flipped the three other cups, pulled out the roll of bills inside, and tossed them to his three little sisters.
Wah! Liu Xiaojun instantly broke into tears and threw a tantrum. Mommy
Taking advantage of this situation, Chen Erke hurriedly stretched her hands and gave Liu Xiaojun a few quick slaps.
Immediately, Liu Xiaojuns Wah became Waaahhhh
The Chen familys four young masters: Ahahahac(R?Q)?
Wah Wahhhh
Ahahaha(?_?) x4
Stop laughing. Everyone, calm down. Chen Yu gestured for his three little sisters to control their behaviors. He then turned around and fiddled with the four cups again before placing them before Liu Xiaojun and said, Cousin, I wont place any coins in them this time. Take your pick.
Im not choosing! Youre bullying me! Wah
Okay, then.
Shrugging, Chen Yu handed the four cups to his three little sisters.
Every one of the four cups had five red 100-yuan bills rolled up inside them
Uwah Liu Xiaojun cried even louder, his voice becoming hoarse.
With quick actions, Chen Erke continued slapping Liu Xiaojuns face.
Uwaah
Hahahaha! (*ަأ)(ަأ*)
The Chen familys four young masters clapped and celebrated Liu Xiaojuns agony.
Uu
Seeing this, Liu Xiaojun got out of bed and squatted by the door before resuming his sobbing.
Chen Sankes heart softened at this scene. Turning toward her gleeful elder brother and sisters, she then looked back at the sorrowful Liu Xiaojun, got out of bed, approached him, and consoled, Dont cry.
Go away! Uu
Stop crying. Patting Liu Xiaojuns head, Chen Sanke said, I Ill share a secret with you, so stop crying.
Secret? Wiping away his tears, Liu Xiaojun looked toward Chen Sanke and asked, What secret?
You cant tell it to others!
What secret? Ill continue crying if you dont tell me.
Sneaking a glance at Chen Yu, Chen Sanke then leaned into Liu Xiaojuns ear and said, You cant lick iron gates during winter

Chapter 155 C Overlooking the Rising Sun (1)
The next day, Saturday, early morning:
Before dawn, Chen Yu was awakened by the vibration of his phones alarm clock.
After opening his eyes and looking at the weather outside, he got out of bed, did some stretches, and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
After freshening up, Chen Yu returned to the bedroom and changed out of his pajamas. Once that was done, he gave the slumbering Chen Yike a push and said, Hey, wake up. The suns going to rise soon. We need to leave quickly.
Huh? In a daze, Chen Yike asked, Where are we going?
Mountain climbing. Do you want to go, or not?
Right! The girl immediately sobered up and hurriedly changed into a new set of clothes. I forgot we said we were going mountain climbing yesterday.
Go wash up first. Ill wake up Second Eldest and Third Eldest.
Okay.
After seeing Chen Yike leaving the room, Chen Yu walked up to Chen Erke and tapped on her head. Hey, wake up. Were going mountain climbing.
Uh? Rubbing her eyes, Chen Erke muttered, I I want to sleep
Didnt you say you wanted to go mountain climbing yesterday?
I want to sleep
Dont blame me for this, then.
Snickering, Chen Yu suddenly lifted his butt and aimed it at Chen Erkes face
Pff
Chen Erkes nostrils widened slightly before her eyes abruptly shot open. She then struggled to get up. Ah! Cough, cough! Ahhh!
Dont move! Chen Yu hurriedly held down Chen Erke. Take a deep breath. Feel it with your heart.
Chen Yu! Let go of me! Cough, cough Youre disgusting!
Do you smell the fragrance of jasmine?
Ah-uuu
Lie down and have a good sleep.
I I Ah! Eventually, Chen Erke successfully struggled free from Chen Yus restraint. Sitting up, she started gasping for breath.
Fart is made out of gas. Itll rise upward, Chen Yu kindly reminded.
Youre too much! Chen Erke hurriedly held her breath, jumped out of her bed, and ran out of the room.
Childs play.
Chen Yu looked toward Chen Sanke with a merry heart, intent on repeating his trick on his youngest little sister. Unfortunately, he found that the little human had already gotten dressed and quickly fled the room.
Holding back half feels quite uncomfortable. Chen Yu scratched his head.
W-Where are you guys going?
At this time, Liu Xiaojun, the last child sleeping in the room, woke up. Rubbing droopy eyes, he said, I want to go as well.
You just sleep well.
No. Where are you going? Liu Xiaojun became even more energetic at Chen Yus refusal. Flexibly jumping out of his bed, he grabbed onto Chen Yus thigh and said, Bring me as well.
Look at my face, Chen Yu suddenly said.
Huh?
Yawn Chen Yu widened his mouth and yawned loudly, simultaneously revealing the Yawning Denture in his mouth.
The invisible brainwaves spread from the denture, stimulating Liu Xiaojuns cerebral cortex to heat up.
Uu As Liu Xiaojun blinked his eyes, he started feeling increasingly exhausted and sleepy. Even his thoughts became a blur. I I want to go too
Yawn. Chen Yu yawned again to strengthen the dentures effects.
zzZ
This time, Liu Xiaojun immediately fell asleep, his body falling forward.
Chen Yu hurriedly reached out to grab the slumbering boy and placed him back onto the bed. He then walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Im ready! Lets go! Chen Yike cheerfully said as she wiped off the water stains on her face. If we climb quickly, we should be able to see the sunrise.
Second Eldest, Third Eldest, have you two washed up?
Im done. Patting her little cheeks, Chen Sanke said, Im clean.
Hmph! Chen Erke sent a glare at Chen Yu before turning away.
Lets head out now, then.
Chen Yu held Chen Sankes hand and led his sisters out of the house after saying so. They then marched toward Xixan Mountain.
Xixan Mountain was located north of Wafangdian Stadium, and it housed a small mountain that was no more than 400 meters in height. There was a park at the foot of the mountain and a pavilion at the top of the mountain.
There were only two ways up the mountain.
One was to hike up Panshan Road, while the other was to ascend the flight of manmade stairs.
Since it was still early in the morning, the Chen familys four young masters naturally chose the latter.
After walking across a wide road, the four siblings arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Looking up at Xixan Mountains mist-covered peak, Chen Yu mumbled, I grew up here when I was a child. Back then, I heard there were still wolves on the mountain.
Wolves? Chen Erke instantly paled at Chen Yus words. Subconsciously, she grabbed onto Chen Yikes sleeve and asked, There are wolves here?
Dont listen to Brothers nonsense, Chen Yike said, rolling her eyes. This is a mountain inside a city. There are residential areas all around the mountain. How can there be wolves here?
There really are wolves, Chen Yu repeated with a serious expression. Back then, aside from the stadiums side, the other sides of the mountain havent been developed yet. Aside from wolves, I heard that there are even bears on the mountain. Thats why, when I was young
You were afraid to go up the mountain? Chen Erke interjected.
I kept running deep into the mountain.
The three sisters:
But I never managed to see any wolves, Chen Yu said regretfully and shrugged. I even brought meat to attract them, but I didnt see anything in the end. What a pity.
Brother, Youre really lucky to still be alive now, Chen Yike complained. At least, there arent any more opportunities for you to make trouble now.
Is that so Lowering his head and looking at his invisible watch, Chen Yu muttered to himself, I somehow feel that my troublemaking is growing larger in scale
Two minutes later, the Chen familys four young masters climbed over the guardrails and started ascending the stairs leading to the top of the mountain.
The steps were relatively steep, so Chen Yu decided to walk at the groups rear to protect his three little sisters. That way, he could prevent them from falling and hurting themselves. However, shortly after the siblings started their climb, Chen Erke knelt down while panting.
Second Eldest, whats wrong?
Pointing at her own legs, Chen Erke said, Theyre limp.
Didnt you say you could climb to the top in one breath last night? Chen Yu mocked her without hesitation.
Impossible. Im too tired. Chen Erke sat down on one of the steps and panted loudly. This isnt mountain climbing. Were just climbing stairs.
Hurry up. Its going to be dawn soon, Chen Yu urged.
No! Im tired! Lets rest for a while! Just a while!
Brother, lets rest. Chen Yike also sat down panting. She then handed a water bottle to Chen Erke and said, Second Eldest doesnt have a good physique.
The mountains 400 meters tall, yet youre tired after climbing just 40 meters? Are you made out of paper?
Hmph! Chen Erke groaned in dissatisfaction while drinking her water.
Big Brother. At this time, Chen Sanke, who looked like the epitome of health, suddenly looked toward the mountain top and asked, Why are weclimbing the mountain for?
Uh This question is a little profound. Stroking his chin, Chen Yu fell into deep thought. A moment later, he pointed at the peak and majestically said, Because the mountain, is there.
Although Chen Erke and Chen Sanke didnt understand what Chen Yu just said, they both felt that he sounded very cool.
Chen Sanke, however, looked at Chen Yu scornfully as she said, What kind of nonsensical reason is that?
This is philosophy. Its profundity. You wont understand it.
Why must hoodlums take liberties with women, then? Because the women, are there?
Chen Yu:
Why must criminals rob banks? Because the money, is there?
Chen Yu:
Why must scammers scam people? Because the idiots, are there?
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu measured Chen Yike from head to toe before saying, As expected of someone from our Chen family. Your thought process resembles mine.
Chen Yike:
Why must we lick the iron gate? Chen Sanke said in realization. Because the gate, is there.
What intellect! Chen Yu rubbed Chen Sankes head in pleasant surprise. Why did your snacks disappear? Because the snacks are there. If you dont eat them, someone else will.
I see! Chen Sanke exclaimed in realization.
Chen Yike:
Chapter 156 - : Overlooking the Rising Sun (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 156 C Overlooking the Rising Sun (2)
The sky gradually got brighter.
As the four siblings continued climbing up the mountain and ascended past the morning mist, they could faintly see the pavilion sitting at the top of the mountain.
Finally, were almost there, Chen Yike said as she took a deep breath. She then turned toward Chen Yu and Chen Sanke, asking, Arent you two tired?
Tired? Chen Sanke looked toward Chen Yu in confusion.
Nope, Chen Yu answered. Xixan is like a small dirt mound. How can I be tired?
You two are truly scary.
Picking up Chen Sanke, Chen Yu delightfully said, Third Eldest and I are natural-born explorers. Not only do we possess an adventurous spirit, but we also have the stamina for exploration.
What isan adventurous spirit? Chen Sanke curiously asked when she heard a new term.
An adventurous spirit? Chen Yu pondered as he walked. Frowning, he said, Looking from a certain perspective, you can call it a type of perverseness.
Thud.
When Chen Yike overheard Chen Yikes words, she stumbled and fell out of surprise. Before even pulling herself back up, she complained, Brother! Stop saying nonsense! Cant you act normally?
Im not saying nonsense, Chen Yu sternly said. Lets use an example. Have you had durian before?
I have. Standing up, Chen Yike patted the dirt off her clothes. She then placed her hands on her hips and said, Lets see what explanation you cooked up.
Ive eaten it before. Its smelly, Chen Sanke said. However, she subconsciously sucked on her thumb as she continued, Its yummy.
Listen closely. With an air of profundity, Chen Yu explained, Think of the first person who discovered the durian. The durian is large, has thorns, and looks scary, yet this person actually held it in his hands. Do you think this person has an adventurous spirit?
Nodding, Chen Yike said, Yes!
Keep on listening. With a rich expression, Chen Yu continued, When this person opened the durian, he found a mass of yellow stuff inside that looks like poop. Upon smelling it, he finds that it smells like poop as well. Yet, despite this yellow stuff looking and smelling like poop, this person still chose to take a bite out of it. Now, tell me. Do you think this person is a pervert?
Smack.
Chen Yike sent her palm smacking on her own face
Third Eldest, do you think this person has an adventurous spirit? Chen Yu asked as he turned toward Chen Sanke.
Yes. Chen Sanke nodded.
Then, do you think he is a pervert?
Yes.
In that case, looking from this perspective, is having an adventurous spirit a sort of perverseness?
Yes. Chen Sanke nodded again.
Its perverse. Chen Erke also nodded in agreement.
Chen Yike:
Big Brother, youre amazing!
Big Brother knows a lot!
Ahahaha. Basics. This is just the basics, Chen Yu said with his nose pointed at the sky at a 45-degree angle, the corners of his mouth nearly reaching the root of his ears.
Hah Chen Yike could not help but sigh at this sight. I feel worried about Second Eldest and Third Eldests future.
You reacted like them when you were young, Chen Yu countered.
After a few more minutes of climbing, the Chen familys four young masters finally ascended the last step and walked on a path leading toward the pavilion. They then looked eastward.
In the next moment, a red sun could be seen gradually rising in the distance and bathing the land in light.
How beautiful Chen Yike spread her arms and embraced the rising sun in satisfaction.
Wow. Chen Sankes eyes sparkled at the sight.
If the sun is so big, why isnt it hot? Chen Erke wondered.
Because Looking at the morning sun, Chen Yu softly said, It is like the human heart. When it is born, it is both broad and pure. However, once it grows, it will become narrow, making it impossible for people to look at it directly
Oh Chen Erke answered ignorantly.
So. Smiling, Chen Yu patted Chen Erkes shoulder and said, Dont grow up.
Half an hour later, the four siblings arrived back at their maternal grandparents home. Upon returning, they discovered that Mother Chen and Grandma had already started preparing breakfast. In contrast, Grandpa, Uncle, and Father Chen were still snoring in bed.
Did you go hiking? Mother Chen asked.
Mhm. We climbed Xixan Mountain.
Why didnt you bring Xiaojun together with you?
Xiaojun is too lazy. He wouldnt wake up no matter what, Chen Yu explained.
Hearing this, Mother Chen curled her lips and squinted her eyes, saying, You didnt even try to wake him up, right?
Nonsense. Im not that kind of person.
Little Chen Yu, I gave birth to you. Do you think I wouldnt understand you? I can tell what kind of poop youre going to have just by your farts.

Chen Yu:
Meanwhile, when Grandma heard Mother Chens words, she angrily smacked her chopsticks on the latters head and berated, Do you still want to eat, or not?! Why are you saying such disgusting things before breakfast?!
Yes, yes, yes, Mother Chen answered obediently as she covered her head. Chen Yu, g-go wake up your grandpa and uncle for breakfast.
Walking into the master bedroom, Chen Yu was immediately greeted by a cacophony of snores. Seeing that nobody was awake yet, he first walked up to Grandpa and shook his body, saying, Grandpa? Wake up. Its time for breakfast.
Oh, its time to eat? In a blur, Grandpa asked, What time is it?
Its seven in the morning. What time did you sleep last night?
Around one in the morning, Grandpa answered as he rubbed his face. Ah, why is it so dark? I cant see anything.
Chen Yu:
I ask this of you, Buddha: Why is my world so dark?
Chen Yu: Buddha says: Can you open your eyes?
Huh? After opening his eyes, Grandpa sat up and said, I can see
Chen Yu:
After Chen Yu woke up the three adults, the whole family sat down and had breakfast together. And upon finishing her meal, Mother Chen set down her chopsticks and regretfully stated that she would be returning together with her children today.
Hearing this, Grandma raised her head and frowned. Whats the hurry? You can go back later.
That wont do, mom. Second Eldest has her mental abacus tuition tomorrow.
What I mean is that you should go home after youve washed the dishes.
Mother Chen:
Pfft. Chen Yu pinched his thigh as he tried his best to suppress his laughter.
When Mother Chen angrily brought her husband and children onto the car, Grandpa and Grandma started growing reluctant and even accompanied them all the way out to the public road.
Be careful on the road, and dont drive too fast, Grandpa sternly said to Father Chen.
Dad, dont worry. I will drive steadily.
Did you bring that greyhound onto the car?
We did. Its in the trunk.
Good, then. Grandpa nodded in satisfaction. That dog is better at drinking than I am. I cant afford to raise it.
It can even smoke! Liu Xiaojun said in a sharp tone.
Smoking? Chen Yu was momentarily stunned. Immediately afterward, he bellowed angrily, You taught it how to smoke?!
Why would you believe the words of a child? How can a dog smoke? Grandpa said as he tapped Chen Yus head. Hurry up and go. It gets difficult to leave the city at noon.
Okay. Were leaving now. Father Chen nodded and stepped on the accelerator.
Wait a minute, Grandma suddenly said. She then walked up to Mother Chen and smiled, Daughter, visit home more often.
Mother Chen immediately burst into theirs. Biting her lip, she nodded, Mhm.
Even if its to help mother wash the chopsticks and dishes, Grandma continued singing.[1]
Mother Chens tears immediately stopped. After a moment of silence, she bellowed, Drive! Go!
After spending two hours on the road, the Chen familys six humans and one dog arrived back home.
After leading the invisible Little Peach into the bedroom, Chen Yu tossed himself onto the bed. Haha. This trip was fun.
Will we visit again during New Year? Little Peach asked as she put on her one-piece dress.
Probably.
After giving a perfunctory answer, Chen Yu sat up, raised his wrist, and canceled his watchs invisibility. He then started inspecting his Profile.
I should start preparing for the official livestream
Chapter 157 - Shock! Frightening Fifth Livestream (1)
Chapter 157 C Shock! Frightening Fifth Livestream (1)
In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
Currently, numerous special situation teams and academic research institutions around the world were working busily.
Why?
Because Transdimensional Reviews official livestream would be starting in another hour.
Compared to Transdimensional Reviews additional livestreams, the channels monthly official livestreams were what everyone was focused on.
The reason for this was because whether it was in terms of technological content, destructive ability, or uniqueness, the products that appeared during the official livestreams far surpassed the products of additional livestreams.
Moreover, through a detailed analysis of Transdimensional Reviews past uploads and livestreams, the various governments had discovered that there were some differences between official livestreams as well.
Specifically, whenever Transdimensional Reviews UP announced that he had received a raise in his access level, the first product he received would always be the best out of all products he received for that access level.
If expressed using the number of episodes, then episodes one, four, seven, eleven, fourteen, and so on would be the most exciting episodes.
For example, the first episodes Interstellar Portal and the fourth episodes Full-coverage Special Protective Suit.
As for the second episodes Weather Control Module and third episodes IAI Island-building Ship, while these two products possessed technology that was far superior to current technology, they were still within the scope of human understanding.
In fact, even in 2020, humans had already accumulated plenty of technology for weather control and land reclamation. So long as the available funds and manpower were sufficient, it was entirely possible to create an extremely simplified version of the two machines.
However, in the case of the Interstellar Portal and Special Protective Suit
One represented the theoretical topics of space and time, while the other represented the super-material that humanity had long cherished for.
Both were existences that caused the scientific world to despair and remained inaccessible to the current humanity
This was especially true for the latter. It was the most fundamental basis for humanitys survival, technology, and development. There were no shortcuts to take around it. Humanitys only hope of discovering this super-material would be to rely on the accumulations made by generations of scientific researchers.
However, this difference between official livestreams theory had yet to be fully confirmed. It was merely the logical analysis made by many staff members. More evidence would be required to verify the theorys validity.
Beijing, inside a crowded conference hall
Leader, all departments are ready, Big Sis Wu reported as she entered the room. She then handed a compilation report to the special situation teams leader.
How is the situation in the targets room?
The rooms curtains remain closed. Through thermal imaging, we can see that the target remains inside the room. The target appears to be waiting for something.
There were many eyes inside the room, so the two could not speak of Chen Yus real name.
In the official archives, information of Chen Yu and all of his relatives remained top-secret. Even most of the field agents observing Chen Yus movements did not know of Chen Yus actual identity.
After all, to thoroughly conceal and camouflage Chen Yus existence, the government didnt place just Chen Yu under surveillance, but everyone possibly related to him instead.
They were virtually protecting Chen Yu to the teeth.
Looking up at the clock, the middle-aged team leader solemnly said, There are 20 minutes to go. Sit next to me and report the compiled information to me at all times.
Understood. Big Sis Wu sharpened her spirits, a numbing feeling spreading in her heart as she sat on the seat that once belonged to Xiao Li.
Time is moving so slowly.
While lying on the bed, Chen Yu would occasionally raise his wrist to look at the time.
Whenever it was time to receive an official product, he would always feel impatient.
Mr. Chen, will you be wearing the haori or the black robe for this livestream? Or will you go to the island-building ship to change into the protective suit? Little Peach asked as she brought two sets of clothing over.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu picked up the haori and said, This one. I dont plan on conducting any interactive events for official livestreams. Ill also appear in a random location, so its fine even if I dont wear the protective suit. It isnt exactly convenient to move around in the suit, either.
Okay. Little Peach then passed over the clothes in her left hand.
Standing up, Chen Yu quickly donned the haori and wore his mask, gloves, and boots. He then stretched his muscles while waiting for the products arrival.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes
When nine oclock arrived, instead of a wormhole appearing, Chen Yus phone started vibrating instead.
It seems its something big this time.
With his past experiences, Chen Yu immediately guessed what was going on. He pulled out his phone, opened WeChat, and entered his conversation room with Transdimensional Marketings staff member.
[Transdimensional Marketing: There?]
[Chen Yu: Speak.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There?]
[Chen Yu: Im here! Out with it!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There?]
[Chen Yu: Im here! Are you going to say it or not?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The product this time is too big to be delivered to your bedroom.]
[Chen Yu: How big is it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very big.]
[Chen Yu: Do I need to find another ocean?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The product this time isnt a ship. Youll need to find flat and empty land.]
Frowning, Chen Yu fell into thought for a moment. Afterward, he quickly typed out a reply.
[Chen Yu: Will the Sahara Desert do?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youd better find somewhere with a strong and sturdy ground.]
[Chen Yu: Crap. What are you sending over this time?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youll find out right away.]
Setting down his phone, Chen Yu quickly walked up to the Interstellar Portal and called up the virtual Earth. After some searching, he set his eyes on Japans Kyojima District.
Who knew what product he would be receiving this time? It was much safer to play with it abroad
[Chen Yu: Is Kyojima District enough? Its close to Tokyo, and theres a plain area there.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, so long as the ground there is hard.]
[Chen Yu: Ill head over now, so you can start sending it over.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen. I will open the wormhole in 10 seconds. Please be prepared.]
[Chen Yu: OK.]
Chen Yu turned off his phone and tossed it onto his bed. He then turned toward Little Peach and said, Put on your mask. Were leaving.
Okay!
Little Peach put on her opera mask and followed Chen Yu into the Interstellar Portal in delight, instantly traveling across thousands of kilometers and arriving at Japans Kyojima District.
Initially, Chen Yu had thought to conduct his review in America.
Unfortunately, it was still dark in America right now. That would cause a drop in his livestreams performance.
While Russia was also an option, the country was currently experiencing winter. Many places were covered in thick snow, which was even softer than sand.
Hence, after much deliberation, he ended up settling for Japan. Not to mention, Japan was also relatively close, so he would only expend a minuscule amount of energy for teleporting there
Im really looking forward to it!
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Yu turned around to disconnect the spatial link. He then transformed the portals appearance into a metal arch and quietly waited for the wormhole to open.
Three seconds later
Buzz!
Space above Chen Yu started distorting, and an oval-shaped wormhole suddenly formed. From Chen Yus vantage, the wormhole easily exceeded 100 meters in length
What?
Chen Yu promptly grabbed Little Peach, turned around, and ran.
Looking at the wormholes size, the object that came through it would definitely cause a massive shockwave when it fell on the ground
The next moment, the wormholes formation finished, and a dark silhouette squeezed out of it.
Meanwhile, the first thing that entered Chen Yus sight was a set of massive metallic fangs!
The fangs were sharp and narrow, giving chills to anyone that saw them.
This This
What the heck is this thing?!
Chapter 158 - Shock! Frightening Fifth Livestream (2)
Chapter 158 C Shock! Frightening Fifth Livestream (2)
What the heck is this thing?!
As the dark silhouette gradually squeezed through the wormhole, the first thing that entered Chen Yus sight was a row of metallic fangs. What followed afterward was a ferocious head, a robust body, and a pair of feet with sharp nails
Boom!
When the titanic object landed, cracks instantly spread throughout the ground beneath it. The resulting shockwave even caused Chen Yu to momentarily lose his balance. And within the next few minutes, everyone residing in Kyojima District, and even the distant Tokyo, was able to sense this intense shockwave.
Fortunately, the initial distance between the ground and the objects feet wasnt particularly large. Otherwise, with the objects terrifying weight, its impact would definitely shake half of Japan.
Cough Cough, cough
Covering his mask with his hands, Chen Yu patiently waited for the surrounding dust clouds to dissipate before turning around to take a look. When his eyes fell on the giant object, his mouth immediately fell wide open.
A di-dinosaur?!
A mechanical dinosaur?!
Chen Yus face subconsciously twitched as he looked up at the 100-meter-tall T-rex. The scales, steel columns, pointed cones, horizontal bars, tooth saws, hydraulic pumps Every part of the machine gave off a violent and industrial beauty. And under the sun, the T-rexs body reflected a gloomy luster.
After exchanging a look with Little Peach, Chen Yu tentatively stepped forward and touched one of the T-rexs nails, the cold and smooth sensation he felt causing him to involuntarily shudder.
Its not alive, Chen Yu affirmed.
It looks like a heavy-duty machine, Little Peach commented as she similarly reached out to feel the T-rexs nails. Its big and hard.
Looking up, Chen Yu wanted to try touching the T-rexs ankle but found that his hand couldnt even reach beyond its nails
Isnt it too damned big?! Its going to destroy everything it steps on!
We didnt bring any flying devices. How do we get up? Little Peach wondered.
There should be stairs somewhere. After giving the matter some thought, Chen Yu circled to the T-rexs back. And sure enough, he discovered a flight of stairs along the T-rexs tail that led all the way to its chest. Sure enough, this thing really isnt alive.
Lets go up, then! It looks really fun! Little Peach said as she eagerly jumped onto the tail.
Get back here! Chen Yu grabbed Little Peachs cheongsam, and unceremoniously pulled her back. Well start the livestream first.
Oh.
The two of them then returned to the mechanical T-rexs front and faced the camera.
Stay sharp during the livestream.
Understood! I definitely wont make any mistakes.
Satisfied with Little Peachs answer, Chen Yu straightened his mask and took a deep breath.
Start the livestream!
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, Youtube, Kuaishou, and Tiktok activation complete!]
[Total viewer count: 0]
As the five livestream rooms went live, IP addresses from all over the world swarmed into the rooms!
14,867.
96,836.
300,948.
1,114,996!
In the blink of an eye, the total viewer count had exceeded one million!
[My King! Im here!]
[Awooo! Its livestream time!]
[Good morning, daddy.]
[Good morning, Grandpa.]
[Good morning, ancestor]
[First!]
[Ah, Im so excited!]
[You have no conscience! Ive waited for you for half a month!]
[Ive been waiting in bed for the past half a month just to see the female assistant.]
[UP, youre terrific!]
After taking a look at the densely packed bullet comments flowing across his watchs screen. Chen Yu looked toward the camera and began to speak.
Good morning, friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. Another month has gone by, and it is now time for Transdimensional Reviews Fifth! Official! Livestream!
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for your willingness to wait before your screens. Unfortunately, we wont be able to do an unboxing session for todays product. Why? Because similar to the island-building ship, its size is simply massive. I wont beat around the bush, so widen your eyes and feel the power of future machinery!
After Chen Yu said so, the camera immediately started rising into the air.
Ten meters.
Fifty meters.
One hundred meters!
As the camera flew higher and higher, the mechanical T-rexs full appearance quickly appeared on the screens of nearly two million viewers.
The T-rexs 100-meter-tall figure created a sharp contrast with the surrounding trees. Its metallic luster also stimulated the minds of many viewers.
Before the T-rex, Chen Yu and Little Peach looked no different than insignificant ants.
[My! God!]
[What is that thing?]
[Its definitely a war machine, right?!]
[It looks so much like a Tyrannosaurus rex, but its much larger than one.]
[Its meant for demolition.]
[This is maddening]
[Sure enough, UP is going to start destroying Earth.]
[I just want to know where UP is at right now. Is the local government about to break into tears?]
[Isnt it normal to destroy a planet for a review video?]
[Will there be an interactive session for this livestream?]
At the same time, the special situation teams conference room in Beijing became deathly silent.
Seated at the head of the conference table, the middle-aged team leader hurriedly picked up his communication device with trembling hands. After pushing down on a button, he hoarsely said, Q-Quickly identify the targets livestream venue and evacuate all citizens within a hundred kilometers. Hurry
After the team leader disconnected the call, the room fell into silence once more.
Everyone present understood very clearly what kind of consequences would occur if a machine of such mass were allowed to roam on land. Even a simple stroll would be akin to having a high-rise building impact the ground one time after another!
It might be okay if this machine conducted its walk outside of city limits, but if it entered a city
Not to mention, looking at the dented ground around the metallic dinosaur, it was evident that the machine was much heavier than concrete buildings.
After considering the possibility that the dinosaur might have some form of special attack, it was no exaggeration to call it a disaster
While past experiences had shown that Chen Yu would always avoid negatively affecting other people during his livestreams, it was still mandatory for them to make the necessary precautions!
Cancel the current tasks of staff teams two, five, and six. Have them configure an evacuation plan and submit it directly to the military headquarters!
After doing his best to calm himself, the middle-aged team leader started issuing orders one after another.
Understood! Big Sis Wus fingers quickly swiped across her customized tablet. After drafting up a new plan, she handed the tablet to the middle-aged team leader and said, Leader, your authorization.
In response, the team leader pulled out a key-shaped chip and inserted it into the black socket on the desk. He then conducted an iris scan using the tablet.
Mobilize 60% of the technology departments resources to construct a model of the machine, and have staff teams three and four analyze the minimal damage and economic loss we will suffer. Have them send their reports to the higher-ups and me.
Understood. Your authorization, leader.
Have staff team seven coordinate with the cyber police department to seal off the network and prevent the spread of panic.
Understood.
After giving out a series of precise and effective commands, the middle-aged team leader wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He then took out a medicine box, swallowed four -receptor blocking drugs, and shut his eyes to rest.
He had already done everything he could within his authority.
No matter where Chen Yus livestream venue was located, they must act with haste! He would rather be wrong than hesitate!
The urgency of this matter was no less than a military operation
As for the overall operation and larger-scale collaborative works, that would have to depend on their superiors
However, half a minute later, the middle-aged team leader abruptly stood up and said, No! I need to be there myself! Get me a helicopter! I must stop his review this time!
Why not leave it to the troo-
I know much more than they do. I must go, the middle-aged team leader said, interrupting Big Sis Wus words. Get me a helicopter. Hurry.
Understood. Big Sis Wu could only nod in response to the middle-aged team leaders command. Immediately, she started operating her tablet with haste.
However, three seconds later, Big Sis Wu suddenly cried out in pleasant surprise. Ah!
What? The team leaders heart nearly stopped for a moment. However, he quickly reacted to the situation and asked, Is the target not within the country?!
L-Leader! The targets livestream venueisnt within the country!
Where?
Japan!
Japan
Yes! Japan!
Bang!
Suddenly, the middle-aged team leader excitedly slammed his fist into the table. Wonderful!
Immediately, the crowd within the room breathed out a sigh of relief. Some people even secretly exchanged high-fives with each other.
Japan Japan
Sitting back into his seat, the middle-aged team leader tapped his finger on the table while pondering. A moment later, he commanded, Cancel all commands I issued before. Also, contact Japans government; tell them not to panic and that theres no need to stop Transdimensional Reviews livestream. He has never harmed civilians before. His livestreams have always been very safe. We can guarantee this point.
Big Sis Wu:
The middle-aged team leader continued, Tell them that they need to have the spirit of sacrifice to science and technology. Every time Transdimensional Review hosts an official livestream, the global academic community would pay close attention to it. We mustnt do anything to affect it. Also, relay these words to Americas special situation department as well. Theyll definitely support us.
Big Sis Wu: Yes
Chapter 159 - Shock! Frightening Fifth Livestream (3)
Chapter 159 C Shock! Frightening Fifth Livestream (3)
Japan, Kyojima district, flatland:
After flying the camera back to himself, Chen Yu said, Its been one minute. Everyone shouldve gotten a clear look at this mechanical dinosaur. This, is the product well be reviewing today. A metal behemoth from the future!
I have also just received it, so I still dont know its true name and purpose. Hence, everyone will get to explore its mysteries together with me from start to end.
After saying so, Chen Yu picked up a stone from the ground and slammed it into one of the T-rexs nails.
Clang!
The stone shattered immediately.
After patting the dust off his glove, Chen Yu looked at his work and found that he had failed to leave a single mark on the nail.
Its metal. While I dont know what kind of metal, it is extremely hard. Im not sure if everyone has noticed it or not, but this metal dinosaur looks a little strange. Its head, neck, chest, and abdomen are massive, yet the feet supporting these massive parts are relatively small.
There are two explanations for this situation. One: there is a design flaw; Two: the strength of the unknown metal is astonishing, and the weight that we find to be an unimaginable burden is nothing to this metal.
As this is a product from the future, I am more inclined to believe it is the latter.
While speaking, Chen Yu had already arrived at the T-rexs rear. He then ascended the stairs on the tail together with Little Peach.
This is a passage leading to the interior of the dinosaur. If there is an artificial intelligence key similar to the island-building ship, we can conclude that this is similarly an industrial machine. Otherwise, it is military equipment.
Why? Because according to my limited understanding of the future, it seems that only military equipment is fully manually operated, while industrial equipment such as the island-building ship is fully managed by artificial intelligence.
While Chen Yu gave his in-depth explanation, the two quickly ascended over 100 meters of stairs and entered the T-rex through its back. They then arrived inside a metallic hall.
The hall had a surface area of at least 500 square meters. There were passages located on both sides of the hall, with the left passage leading down, and the right passage leading up.
Theres a fork in the road. I think that the control room is located upstairs, so lets head up first.
[Its fully metal! It looks much more powerful than any tank.]
[The lower compartment is for the crew. All large-scale equipment are separated this way.]
[The machine feels even bigger from the inside]
The passage on the right was like a winding mountain road that spiraled up the T-rexs body. If one leaned against the railings and looked down, they would have a clear look at the T-rexs interiors complex mechanical structure.
From what Ive seen thus far, I think it is highly likely that this dinosaur is a piece of industrial equipment. While walking, Chen Yu explained, There are no blockades on the path leading to the machines interior. This is too reckless of a design if it is meant for military use. Enemies can easily sneak inside and destroy the machine. Unless, of course, this thing is like an aircraft carrier, where soldiers or tanks are stationed onboard. Also, look at the width of this passage. Two tanks can easily move side-by-side here.
After walking for three minutes, Chen Yu finally arrived at the end of the tunnela set of five-meter-tall metal doors!
There was a retro screen located in the middle of the gate, and below the screen was a button in the shape of a T-rexs head.
After exchanging looks with Little Peach, Chen Yu hesitantly stretched out his right arm and touched the button.
Flicker!
The button immediately lit up.
After waiting for a moment and finding nothing strange happening, Chen Yu decisively pushed down on the button!
Click!
Boom Boom Boom
The sounds of gears and hydraulic levers moving echoed throughout the passage, and the metal doors slowly parted, revealing the internal environment.
The moment the doors parted, Chen Yu, Little Peach, and the two million viewers watching the livestream were momentarily dazzled!
Beyond the doors was a spacious hall with ceilings over a dozen meters high and a surface area exceeding 400 square meters.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the hall was a massive, curved glass, and through the glass, one could clearly see the outside worlds environment.
There was also a strange device set up in the middle of the glass. It resembled a petri dish commonly found in laboratories. Only, this petri dish had its size magnified by dozens of times. There was also a pale green liquid inside the petri dish, and bubbles even appeared from the bottom of the liquid
With a face filled with shock, Chen Yu carefully entered the hall and observed his surroundings non-stop.
[Gundam! This is definitely a Gundam!]
[Crap! Amazing!]
[Awesome!]
[Whats the cylinder in the middle for?]
[Every part of this metal dinosaur gives off a sense of power.]
[A metal behemoth.]
[Did anyone else notice that the metal doors just now were opened via mechanical transmission? Why so retro?]
[This thing doesnt look like its been designed by humans. Its too crude.]
Amidst the rain of bullet comments of the five livestream rooms, Chen Yu made a circle around the hall and arrived before the petri dish. He then started closely inspecting the device.
Everyone, it seems that this cylinder is the core part of this machine. Tsk, tsk. How mystical.
Reaching out, Chen Yu touched the devices control console. Immediately, an electronically synthesized sound appeared in the hall.
[Greetings, sir. Welcome to the Human Weapon Seriess Earth Landing Type-K Beast Armor.]
[Please register your iris information to establish the Human Weapon archive.]
[Please register the Commanders iris.]
After the electronically synthesized voice said so, the projection of a human face appeared from the control console, the projection indicating for Chen Yu to place his head inside it.
Crap! Its actually a weapon?! Chen Yu was shocked. Judging by the name, this thing seems pretty amazing.
[Please register the Commanders iris.]
The electronically synthesized voice repeated.
After snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward and overlapped his head with the holographic projection.
[Registration complete. Do you wish to proceed with registering lower-level authorities?]
No.
[The archive is created.]
[Welcome, Commander.]
Boom Boom Boom
The metallic doors of the room slowly shut, and rows of lights lit up inside the hall.
[Commander, is this your first time using the Earth Landing Type-K Beast Armor?]
Yes.
[The Human Weapon Series is part of the Offensive Military Machinery Program launched by the Harqiu Arms Company in 2330. The weapon series is divided into space-based bombs, earth landing, and atmospheric cruise. The Type-K Beast armor belongs to a small branch of the earth landing category. It is mainly used for close combat and destruction of complex environments such as mountains, urban environments, plain environments, and polar environments.]
[The Type-K Beast Armor is made mainly out of high-carbon alloy steel. It is capable of resisting nuclear damage equivalent to 40 million tons of TNT. Under Earths gravity, its weight its 52,000 tons, maximum standing height is 135 meters, and installed power is 4,558,000 kilowatts. It also has a fluctuation generator installed inside to prevent damage from aim-based heat-ray weapons.]
[The Type-K Beast Armors primary method of attack is its tail sweep, which is capable of instantly destroying all buildings within 300 meters. It can execute a continuous sweep up to a maximum of 74 hours, effectively destroying important cities and industrial facilities. Fifty Type-K Beast Armor units can be grouped up to form a small impact array, causing even greater damage. If further paired with 12 Type-V Flying Armor units, they can form a defensive array]
Although the electronically synthesized voice was still continuing with its introduction, Chen Yu and the livestreams two million viewers had long since stopped listening to it. At this time, everyone had their mouths hung ajar and their minds in a mess
At this moment, everyone only had one thought in their mind
Just what had happened in the future?
Whoosh
Whoosh
At the same time, countless combat jets took to the skies all around the world.
Simultaneously, many space satellites had also changed their orbits and focused their sights on the small Kyojima District.
Even the livestreams two million viewers started behaving and no longer dared to send unscrupulous bullet comments
Without anyone realizing it, a tense atmosphere slowly spread throughout the world
Chapter 160 - Epoch-making Controls
Chapter 160 C Epoch-making Controls
Inside the Type-K Beast Armors control center
The introductory course provided by the electronically synthesized voice lasted for 15 minutes.
After listening to the introduction, Chen Yu roughly understood how to control this armor. Facing the camera, he said, I believe everyone shouldve gotten a rough understanding of this Type-K Beast Armor. Well now move on to the next phase of the reviewactual operation.
According to the tutorial, machines in the Human Weapon Series all adopt something called the liquid-touch control mode. In other words, the pilot will have to enter this glass tube and move within the special liquid.
When Chen Yu pressed down on the activation button, a vortex immediately formed inside the petri dish. The vortex drained all of the liquid inside. Afterward, a click sound appeared, and the petri dishs curved door opened.
After giving Little Peach a glance, Chen Yu faced away from the camera and removed his mask. He then wore something similar to a respirator before putting on his opera mask over it. Once done, he turned back around and said, Once inside the tube, my words will be relayed to an external speaker. So, even if I remove my watch, everyone will still hear my voice.
After saying so, Chen Yu removed his watch and handed it over to Little Peach. Hold onto it properly.
Okay. After receiving the watch, Little Peach promptly wore it on her own wrist.
Now, lets head inside and see what kind of technology this liquid-touch control mode is exactly.
The moment Chen Yu stepped into the petri dish, the glass door automatically closed and locked itself.
Glug Glug Glug
Simultaneously, pale green liquid started spewing out from beneath Chen Yu, the liquid enveloping Chen Yu entirely in the blink of an eye.
Huh? After tentatively moving his arms around, Chen Yu said in surprise, Interesting. The viscosity of this liquid is relatively high. Executing movements while surrounded by this liquid is somewhat taxing. If a weak child were put in here, they wouldnt last very long.
On another note, breathing is smooth here. There seems to be oxygen dissolved in the liquid, and I can easily breathe it in through this respirator in my mouth. I dont feel any discomfort whatsoever.
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu looked toward the camera and continued, According to the tutorial, the liquid-touch control mode can recognize the pilots actions with extremely high accuracy through a combination of light wave scanning and fluid mechanics. Meanwhile, every one of the pilots actions will be reflected on the mechanical armor, significantly improving the flexibility of single combat.
Thats right. In the 24th century, this giant is only considered as a personal armor for soldiers. It is also one of the smaller models among many personal armors. Moreover, this armor isnt responsible for direct combat. Instead, its primary function is to destroy buildings and industrial facilities. It is supposed to advance as a group together with other armors.
From this, we can infer something interesting.
Raising a finger inside the petri dish, Chen Yu said, Future warfare will be conducted completely differently compared to modern warfare. Wars would not involve large numbers of professional soldiers. An entire countrys military might only consist of a few thousand skilled, strong-willed, and well-trained combat veterans.
If we refer to this Beast Armor of ours, seeing as it is labeled Type-K, there will naturally be Type-A, Type-B, Type-C Armor, and so on. We can already wage a miniature war with just 10 of these armors. If the entire Human Weapon Series takes the field, it might be possible to wage a war that sweeps the entire world.
[Fine analysis! I think so as well!]
[Pigs think like that as well.]
[I curse your mother!]
[What UP said makes sense. Even now, our military has already started taking the elite route. Swarm tactics have long since lost effectiveness.]
[Liquid manipulation? How fresh. I never heard of this before.]
[UP, you just provided ideas for the various governments.]
[Traditional operating methods are outdated, while brain wave manipulation isnt realistic. After all, people will always have random thoughts. This liquid-touch control mode should be a transition.]
[Doesnt the host look like a lab rat soaked in formalin?]
[Haha! UP is in Japan! Dont ask me how I found out!]
Of course. Suddenly, Chen Yu changed his tone of voice. The above analysis is just my personal guess. I wont bear any responsibility for it. My analysis might not be correct, either. Regardless, lets end the topic here and start earnestly reviewing the product.
Chen Yu straightened his body and stretched out his hand to touch the top of his head after saying so.
Whoosh!
A purple light suddenly enveloped Chen Yus body, scanning all of his movements.
When the purple light came into contact with the green liquid, a strange chemical reaction occurred. Instantly, the originally green world around Chen Yu turned translucent!
How interesting! Chen Yu exclaimed in pleasant surprise. I previously wondered whether the green liquid would affect my vision. Now, it seems that wont be a problem. The liquid turns translucent when in contact with the purple light. Moreover, the translucent liquid seems to have vision enhancing properties. I can see much more clearly than normal. This technology really is ama-
Boom! Boom!
Before Chen Yu could finish his narration, the world around him suddenly shook! The scenery outside the window also started rising.
It turned out that the metal T-rex had straightened its posture
The armor is activated. Looking down at his hands, Chen Yu said, The liquid has changed! Its much more viscous than before. Now, then
Under the attention of over two million people, Chen Yu slowly and tentatively crouched.
Boom
The scenery outside lowered in sync with Chen Yus actions.
[Crap! Its moving! Its moving!]
[Amazing!]
[This is so damned cool]
[I want to play with it as well.]
[Im spamming Fs for you!]
[Everythings fine, so just walk two steps forward. Just two steps.]
[Not only can you walk, but you can also run. You can even jump up and down!]
[If the host does yoga inside the liquid, what kind of actions will the dinosaur outside make?]
[What if he pees inside the liquid?]
[Will there be bubbles if he farts? Will the metal dinosaur fart as well?]
[I just want to know which part of the dinosaur the hosts little brother corresponds to? Is it the tail?]
[In that case, wouldnt the sweeping attack mean]
[You guys should shut your mouths right now. The engineer that designed this thing is losing his mind.]
Squat, stand up, wave
Chen Yu carefully performed several sets of actions. He then explained, The sensitivity is very high. My left arm corresponds to the mechs neck, and my left wrist corresponds to the head. Opening my palm is equivalent to opening the mechs mouth. Aside from that, my right arm corresponds to the tail, while my legs correspond to the mechs two legs. As for the mechs upper body and lower body, I wont elaborate on those.
So, if I want to replicate the T-rexs iconic posture, the movements I need to make inside the tube should be like this!
After saying so, Chen Yu stretched his left arm forward and right arm backward. He then did a half squat and looked forward
[]
[Are you pretending to be an ostrich?]
[Im dying from laughter.]
[Hahaha(*^^*)]
[The enemy will never know who or what is controlling this mecha.]
Retracting his actions, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, I am only trying to mimic a real T-rex. Typically, when not in combat, both arms should always remain wrapped around the chest. That way, the T-rexs tail will curl up to prevent damaging nearby friendly units.
If we go by my previous statement that future wars will be fought by only a small number of elites, then only those that had undergone vigorous training would be qualified to pilot a mech like this. Meanwhile, I am only a handsome product reviewer. I dont have any professional training for piloting this mech. Hence, I will only be testing the basic performance of this product.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu turned toward Little Peach and said, Come over here.
My King, what do you need me to do?
Have the camera fly out and give our audience a distant view of the dinosaur.
Okay.
Little Peach nodded. After reopening the doors to the hall, she swiped her finger across the watch, flying the floating camera out of the metal dinosaurs body.
Well, then
Inside the livestream rooms, the scene of the 130-meter-tall metal T-rex stretching its neck and opening its ferocious mouth played out.
Roar!
Powerful soundwaves diffused to the T-rexs surroundings, the sound waves causing trees to bend and rubble to fly
Are you ready? Im going to start moving.
Chapter 161 - Armor’s Combat Mode
Chapter 161 C Armors Combat Mode
Im going to start moving.
After Chen Yu said so, the metal T-rex slowly raised its right foot, its actions accompanied by the creaking sound of metal rubbing against each other.
Three seconds later, the T-rexs right foot moved forward by a dozen meters and stepped on the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook before the eyes of the livestreams two million viewers.
[Youre so heavy~~]
[Pft]
[A true demolition weapon.]
[What is the limit of infrastructure madness? Demolition!]
[Lets be reasonable. Once youve filled a place with buildings, you gotta tear them apart so that you can start building again, right?]
[Japans growing restless, lololol.]
[With the dinosaurs mass, if it repeatedly jumps, it might cause a shift in the continental plates.]
This feels so strange, Chen Yu commented. I can feel textured feedback coming from the liquid around me. I think I understand what this liquids main purpose is now.
The next moment, the metal T-rex opened its maw and swiftly bit down on the ground below it.
Boom!!
The earth shook and shattered. The T-rexs sharp fangs deeply penetrated into the ground. It then slowly raised its head, lifting over a thousand tons of dirt in its mouth.
Sure enough! With great excitement, Chen Yu said, When I bit down on the ground, I can clearly sense my left hand growing heavier. The liquid also continuously applied pressure on my left arm, making me feel as if I just grabbed a handful of dirt.
Roar!
The metal T-rexs eyes suddenly lit up with a silver glow. Simultaneously, its lower and upper jaws started exerting force on each other, crushing the dirt and gravel between them.
Crack! Crack!
Im doing my best to close my hand, but the liquid around my palm has seemingly turned solid. I cant squeeze it no matter what. It seems theres too much dirt in the T-rexs mouth
Amazing! Repeatedly, Chen Yu exclaimed, This method of control is simply brilliant! It allows the machines operator to experience feedback close to reality! Why havent I heard of this control method before?
Ive never even seen it in novels and anime before.
As expected of future technology.
[The last episodes protective suit is also made by the Haqiu Arms Company. Host, are you being sponsored?]
[I seriously suspect that UP is actually an arms dealer.]
[Interested in some clips? Add my WeChat ******.]
[What the? Youre pulling this shit even in Transdimensional Reviews livestream? How much courage do you have?]
Roar~~~
The T-rex roared and spat out the dirt in its mouth, the heavy soil pulverizing a few unlucky trees.
The feedback the liquid gives me allows me to quickly familiarize myself with the T-rexs controls. Now, Ill try to jog.
After saying so, the titanic T-rex started advancing at a faster pace, its head swaying left and right as it ran.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom
As the T-rex ran, the nearby mountains shook, and winds surged. The shockwaves generated by the T-rexs footsteps were so powerful that they twisted the surrounding trees.
Looking at the carnage from high above, the livestreams viewers felt as if they were looking at Godzilla destroying the world in movies, and their teeth instinctively clattered.
This was the instinctive fear small humans felt toward large creatures.
At the same time, inside Japans special situation office
An old man with a gray beard and bloodshot eyes shuddered as he muttered, Terrible This is too terrible
The old man was currently looking at a screen displaying the metal T-rex. Every time the T-rex took a step forward, the old man felt as if his heart was being stepped on. Feelings of fear and absurdity overwhelmed his body.
As a leader who had spent his entire life working in the field of science and technology, he simply could not understand how the world had become like this.
Just a few months ago, physicists were still seeking new theories, mathematicians were still busy verifying their calculations, the various industries were still making scientific and technological achievements step-by-step, the conflict between relativity and quantum theory was still expanding, and the unified theory still remained a luxury.
The fourth industrial revolutions five core elementsnew materials, life sciences, artificial intelligence, quantum, and new energywere also in the midst of gradually developing.
Everything had clearly been normal.
So, how did Transdimensional Review, an existence that continuously revealed future products that shattered everyones world views, suddenly appear?
Is this a dream
The old man shut his eyes, his thoughts gradually falling into chaos.
Leader!
At this time, a middle-aged man approached the old man with an ugly look on his face. He then reported, The T-rex is advancing into Kyojima District. The evacuation of the crowd has just begun.
Hearing this, the old man snapped out of his daze and asked in a trembling voice, H-Has the higher-ups still not allowed us to move?
Lowering his head, the middle-aged man said, Im sorry.
We cant stop it even if we want to The old man gripped his chest as his breathing gradually accelerated. Speed up the evacuation. Set up some white flags and warning lights in the surroundings.
Yes, sir!
The middle-aged man then left the office.
Inside the office, the old man scanned his frightened subordinates and opened his mouth. However, eventually, he closed his mouth without saying anything.
Boom!
Boom, boom
The metal T-rexs gait might seem clumsy and slow, but it was extremely fast in reality. Its speed reached well over 400 kilometers per hour. So, before Chen Yu could get his fill of running inside the petri dish, he could already see the gathering ground of humans ahead of himCKyojima District.
There was also a white flag hung on the tallest building inside the district. The flag looked very conspicuous as it waved along with the wind.
Boom, boom!
Halting his running, Chen Yu looked at the town ahead of him through the curved glass, a strange sense of dominance filling his heart.
There isnt even a need to enter combat mode. Facing his livestreams two million viewers, Chen Yu faintly said, So long as I wave my right hand, this town will be reduced to ruins. Yes, so long as I wave my hand
Moreover, there is nothing in this world capable of stopping me or even punishing me afterward.
Because so long as I am inside this armor, I am Earths strongest combat power. Everyone, do you feel the joyous and suffocating feeling in your chest I am feeling as well?
The metal T-rex slowly shook its head as it stared at the town ahead, its sharp fangs reflecting the light of the sun.
Suddenly, the bullet comments in the livestream rooms thinned out considerably.
This is the power of technology! Chen Yu raised his voice. The sense of power I felt when I entered this armor is far more realistic than when I operated the Weather Control Module and protective suit.
This is the horror of technology. If it can magnify the goodness of the human heart, it can naturally magnify the evil within as well.
Roar!
The T-rex stretched out its neck and roared.
Many of the residents in Kyojima District had long since been petrified from fear. They could only stand still with pale expressions as they looked at the towering dinosaur.
The other party could easily decide their life and death with a single thought
Creak, creak
The T-rex gradually lifted one of its feet.
Ah!
No!
Help
The crowd of puny humans started screaming in fear and panic.
Boom!
However, the metal T-rex did not move forward.
Instead, it changed direction.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom
Amidst the shaking of the earth, the metal T-rex left, its swaying head and tail smashing the huge rocks and trees in its path.
[Crap, you scared the hell out of me.]
[For a moment, I thought the host turned evil.]
[Power indeed befuddles people.]
[Im growing worried about the future of mankind.]
[If I also get to wear this armor, I might fail to resist the urge to step on those people.]
[I stepped on ants when I was young.]
[Youre really cruel, then. Though, Im still stepping on ants even at 45]
Everyone, you wouldnt think that I would actually stomp on those people, right? Chen Yu said in his usual carefree tone. Stop joking. Did you watch too many movies? This is the real world! Im just here to evaluate products. Those with twisted thoughts should reflect.
I am merely expressing the sense of power I get from piloting this armor. In short, it is really cool! If theres a chance in the future, I might choose a few viewers to share this experience.
Well, lets continue with our review. Let me find a place thats far away from crowds to test the combat mode of this beast armor.
Huu
Inside Japans special situation office, the old man breathed out a sigh of relief. He then picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
However, as soon as he set down the towel, he seemingly realized something and became stunned.
Wait! Hes running in the direction of Tokyo City!
Quickly stop him!!!
Chapter 162 - Crap?!
Chapter 162 C Crap?!
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom
As Chen Yu became more proficient at operating the Type-K Beast Armor, he also started running faster.
Moreover, aside from running, he could even jump. Only, half the armor would end up sinking into the ground after the jump.
Chen Yu had enjoyed watching Ultraman when he was a child. Now, he finally understood how much destruction a fight between behemoths weighing tens of thousands of tons could cause. There wouldnt be a need for any special beam attacks. Just the tremors they caused could destroy an entire city.
At this time, several dozen helicopters carrying missiles approached from the front. They hovered around the metal T-rex like a bunch of flies.
Boom!
Chen Yu halted his footsteps inside the petri dish. He then reached to his left to press on a virtual button, which allowed him to transmit his voice outside of the armor.
Do you have business with me?
In response, two helicopters flying in the center of the array each unfurled a white cloth underneath them. Each piece of the fabric also had a Chinese character written in black on them.
Tokyo!
Tokyos ahead?
Realization dawned upon Chen Yu. He then fell into thought.
Tokyo had a massive population. Tourists from all over the world were gathered there. If he approached the city in the beast armor and allowed the citys tens of millions of people to become witnesses, there was no way the various governments would be able to continue suppressing information on him.
He would instantly become a global sensation.
This was not in his long-term interests.
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu turned the T-rex around and walked in a different direction.
Boom, boom Boom.
However, after just taking a few steps, Chen Yu stopped once more. He then turned toward the helicopters following him and shouted, Roll away![1]
Roll away
Roll away
Away
Inside the commanding helicopter, the pilot asked with a dazed look, What is he saying?
Very standard Mandarin, the translator said while pushing against his glasses.
What does it mean?
Hes telling us not to follow him.
Is that so? How polite of him. The pilot nodded. He then picked up the communicator hanging under the dashboard and issued an order, All units retreat. I repeat, all units retreat.
Afterward, the pilot disconnected the call and turned the helicopters nose around.
His superiors had ordered him to not enter conflict with the other party under any circumstances. If the other party wished for them to scram, then they should flee as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, upon seeing that the flies were leaving, the metal T-rex resumed its advance. And while leaving behind many cracked lands, the T-rex eventually arrived at an uninhabited mountain area.
This place will do.
After halting his advance, Chen Yu straightened his body and faced the camera, allowing his audience to get a clear look at his figure inside the petri dish.
According to the tutorial, we know that this armor has three modes of operation. The first mode is the deterrence mode, which is the mode everyone is looking at right now. It is mainly used for deterrence and ease of movement across various terrains.
The second mode is the combat mode. Upon entering this mode, the T-rex will change into an attack form suitable for the battlefield, thereby increasing its killing and destructive power.
The third mode is the construction mode. In this mode, the T-rex will help allied units dig foundations. It is also capable of constructing temporary sites for holding prisoners and storage.
Lets first test the second mode.
Under Chen Yus manipulation, the purple light released into the petri dish suddenly turned red. The deafening sound of hydraulic rods and gears interacting with each other also appeared.
Clack, clack, clack
The T-rexs head folded into an opening on its upper body. The machines sturdy feet also bent down and contracted. Subsequently, two spherical objects emerged from the T-rexs kneecaps and pressed against the ground.
As for the T-rexs tail, rows of razor-sharp blades emerged all over it, the edges giving off a cold glint as they reflected the suns light.
[This thing can actually transform?!]
[Of all the things it could transform to, it chose to turn into a floor-sweeping robot]
[Such armor has no soul.]
[I really pity Japan. Despite not having provoked anyone, a Godzilla suddenly popped up in it.]
[They can still count on Ultraman to slay UP.]
[Look to the west! Fighter jets! Crap! There are over a dozen fighter jets! Are they really trying to bomb the host?!]
Just as the beast armor was undergoing its transformation, over a dozen armed fighter jets suddenly flew over from a distance!
The narrow fuselage and tail flames fully demonstrated the military power of modern humans.
Inside the beast armors control room, Chen Yu was also made aware of the approach of flying units through the operating systems warning. However, he paid no heed to the warning at all.
Aside from high-yield nuclear weapons, there were no other weapons in 2020 capable of damaging this armor
Whoosh
Amidst the observation of numerous aircrafts, the Type-K Beast Armor took a total of 45 seconds to complete its transformation. At the end of the process, the originally 130-meter-tall metal T-rex had transformed into a flat machine that resembled modern times vacuum robots!
However, although the beast armors height had shrunk, its flattened body and sharp tail now combined to give it an astonishing horizontal length of 300 meters.
Meanwhile, due to the armors transformation, the command centers curved glass no longer provided a view on the outside. Instead, it now functioned as a screen that displayed the armors surrounding environment.
Unlike everyone else, I dont have a good view of the armors transformed state. However, I can still guess what kind of state the armor is currently in, Chen Yu said with a steady voice. Well, lets not waste time on words. Well launch an attack right here to see how this 24th-century killing machine performs and how it operates.
After saying so, Chen Yu decisively pushed down on the red physical button above his head.
Click!
Along with a crisp sound, the liquid surrounding Chen Yu started swirling.
Meanwhile, on the machines outside, the bladed tail started slowly rotating clockwise around the main body.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
The tails rotation grew increasingly faster. In just a few seconds, its speed had surpassed the limits of what the human eye could see. And when subjected to this bladed tails speed and power, the surrounding hills were instantly demolished!
Whoosh, whoosh
Half a minute later, the tails rotation reached its limits. From afar, the beast armor basically looked like a 300-meter-diameter disc right now.
[Isnt this a little too much]
[What? Too much fun for you to handle?]
[This! Is! Maddening!]
[Isnt this a goddamned meat grinder?]
[Why did humans invent such a terrifying weapon?]
[If this thing is unleashed in a city, there definitely wont be any survivors.]
[What kind of brain is needed to design such a thing?]
[This is the high-tech version of Blade Storm!]
[Im curious to find out what the small impact array formed by 50 of these machines would look like.]
[Maybe theyll merge with each other to form a 15,000-meter meat grinder]
[Excellent. Just one rotation and the whole continent will disappear.]
[Exciting!]
[Future humans are crazy]
Inside the petri dish, Chen Yu tentatively attempted to take a step forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Half of the mountain in front of him instantly got shaved away!
When Chen Yu took another step forward, the whole mountain got shaved away
Crap! Hugging his head, Chen Yu said, This weapon is a little insane!
After remaining in shock for some time, Chen Yu thought to halt this crazy attack form. However, before he did so, a white button at the corner of his vision caught his attention.
Whats this? Why didnt the tutorial mention anything about this?
He was confident that before entering combat mode, this white button did not exist.
Is it for emergency braking?
Frowning, Chen Yu reached out and pushed the button.
Click.
The instant the button sank into its socket, Chen Yu immediately felt a sense of weightlessness!
Buzz
Simultaneously, the livestreams 2.4 million viewers and Earths various government officials gaped in shock.
Currently, under the propulsion of the surrounding airflow and the flames spewing out of its bottom, the meatgrinder gradually lifted into the air
The Type-K Beast Armor was flying
Crap! It can fly as well?! Chen Yu was startled.
[Crap! It can fly as well?!]
[Crap! It can fly as well?!]
[Crap! It can fly as well?!]
Crap! It can fly?!
The pilots of the fighter jets also yelled out in unison. And without hesitation, every one of them turned their jets around and fled
Chapter 163 - Greater Intensity!
Chapter 163 C Greater Intensity!
The wind generated by the rotating tail blew away the shattered trees and gravel. Simultaneously, the Type-K Beast Armor gradually lifted into the air.
Crap! It can fly as well?!
Inside the petri dish, Chen Yu covered his head with both arms in shock. He then hurriedly pushed down on the white button once more.
Wrr
The tail flame coming out from the bottom of the beast armor immediately extinguished, causing the giant disc to lose a significant portion of its thrust. Under the pull of gravity, the armor fell from a height of 40 meters.
Boom!!
The armors landing was accompanied by a deafening boom. From the livestream audiences perspective, the earth seemingly undulated like a water ripple
[The cause of the dinosaurs extinction might not necessarily be a meteor.]
[It might also be a 50,000-ton flying saucer]
[Im in Tokyo. Ill definitely feel that impact in a moment. Im going to hide first.]
[The combat modes movement speed is definitely very fast! In combat mode, the armor is so flat that its going to be difficult to aim at it. It can even fly. This thing is seriously a cheat.]
As the earths undulations stopped, numerous cracks could be seen covering the ground.
The mountains, forests, and gullies that used to decorate the area no longer existed. It was as if they had been leveled by some kind of colossal propeller blade.
In fact, they were indeed leveled
Inside the armors petri dish, Chen Yu observed his surroundings through the screen before him. His nerves relaxing, he said, Not bad. It didnt cause too much damage.
[]
[Not bad. At least the Earth is still intact.]
[Ive never seen such a shameless person before!]
[Boss, what is considered too much damage in your eyes?]
[UP, youre awesome! (voice breaking)]
[UP, youre the ruler of the world! (voice becoming hoarse)]
The armors combat mode is too dangerous. Even a casual walk can result in severe geological damage to the surrounding environment. As there are residential areas nearby, our review of the combat mode will end here. Its enough so long as everyone has an intuitive understanding of it.
After saying so, Chen Yu reached out and pushed the red button above him once more. Immediately, the beast armors rapidly rotating tail slowed down.
Personally, I think this product is suited for demotion and mountain development. Its efficiency in these fields is extremely high. By 2330, if you have the opportunity to buy one, I strongly recommend you do so. Now, lets dispense with the words and move on to evaluating the armors third modeCconstruction mode.
Amidst Chen Yus explanation, the Type-K Beast Armor had reverted to its T-rex form. However, under Chen Yus manipulation, the machine quickly started transforming once more.
Clack, clack, clack
In the next moment, the T-rexs feet split apart, and its nails stabbed deeply into the ground. Its upper and lower jaws then split apart widely, transforming into something that resembled an excavators claw.
The entire transformation process took less than 20 seconds to complete.
Hmm
Inside the control center, Chen Yu pondered over the groups of data and layout diagrams that appeared around him. He then tentatively opened his left palm.
Creak Boom!
The beast armors giant claw also slowly opened in coordination.
According to the tutorial weve listened to before, the construction mode is divided into three stages: excavation, consolidation, and construction. In other words, the beast armor will first excavate a deep hole and establish a solid foundation. Afterward, it would create a simple underground shelter that could be used to store resources and personnel.
Since well be constructing a building, a lot of professional knowledge is going to be involved. Parameters such as the local geology, angle, and depth are also necessary to complete the construction. Currently, the holographic projection before me has displayed plenty of such information. However, I cant understand any of it, so Ill just randomly go through with it. We are mainly here to review the beast armors performance.
After saying so, Chen Yu set his sights on the messy land ahead of him and lowered the claw.
Squeak
Following the sounds of hydraulic rods contracting, the claw plunged deeply into the ground, disappearing from the audiences view in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, Chen Yu closed his palm and gradually raised his arm.
Boom
In response, the metal claw bit down tightly on the soil before gradually lifting the soil upward and leaving behind a 10-meter-deep pit!
The pit was in the perfect shape of a cube, and there was even groundwater seeping out from the bottom.
Now that weve excavated a hole, lets move on to the consolidation step. Extending his right hand, Chen Yu tapped on the Construct option on the holographic projection. From now onward, the machine will operate automatically. The only part that requires human intervention is the selection of the excavation site.
Squeak
Several large hydraulic rods worked together to raise the clamped claw to its maximum height. The claw then fell back into the pit at lightning speed!
Boom!!
The earth shook slightly again as the claw accurately landed into the pit. The claws impact also increased the pits depth and area by 10%.
Chen Yu:
[This is your so-called consolidation?]
[The ground got smashed solid.]
[Fastest foundation building in history.]
[This armor even comes with the ability to construct building foundations. I admit defeat.]
[Im constructing my house here. Who cares about the neighbors?]
Under the tremendous impact force, the pits soil became more compact, and groundwater no longer seeped from the floor. After accomplishing this feat, the claw started the last stepconstruction.
In the next moment, the clamped claw continuously shook for a minute. A gap then opened up in the claw, and a cube that was partially solid and partially liquid fell out, the cube accurately landing in the pit.
The cube only had faces on five sides: north, south, east, west, and bottom. Its top wasnt capped. The rising steam from this object also served to prove its high temperature.
Squeak
The claw rose up and rapidly fell again!
Boom!
Upon suffering the impact and compression of the massive object, the partially-melted cubes opening expanded significantly. Now, the cubes walls firmly adhered to the pits walls.
Immediately afterward, the claw was raised into the air once more. The claws jaws then opened up, and a stone slab fell out of the claw and embedded itself on top of the topless cube. And with that process completed, the construction of a simple, underground building was completed.
Meanwhile, the entire process only took a total of one minute and forty-five seconds
[Goddamn]
[Its done?]
[First, it excavated and consolidated a foundation. Now, it burnt and melted soil into a solidified substance to make walls and roofs How cool!]
[Its like playing a game]
[Awesome!]
[All materials were secured locally. Total material cost: 0]
[Who said construction is a form of art?]
Inside the petri dish, Chen Yu, who had witnessed the entire construction process, said in amazement, The design of this machine is simply amazing. It can construct an underground shelter in under two minutes. I dont think I need to elaborate on the value of having such an ability on a battlefield. The only question I have now is whether this shelters structure is capable of supporting the weight of the armor.
After waiting for the underground shelter to cool down, Chen Yu transformed the beast armor into its combat state. While letting the armors bladed tail rotate, he moved the armor itself onto the shelters roof.
Its totally possible, Chen Yu concluded. I think I roughly understand the Type-K Beast Armors combat method. First, it would level a city. Afterward, it would retrieve construction materials locally and construct numerous underground shelters around the demolished city.
The underground shelters will be used by allies to house resources and personnel, while numerous Type-K Beast Armor units would conduct a continuous sweep of the battlefield for 72 hours. This will allow allied forces to occupy an advantageous position.
The armors three modes allow it to conduct movement, assault, and logistics. Every function serves an important purpose. It is a multi-purpose armor that can help advance the frontline and construct outposts. I give it full marks for practicality.
After reverting the beast armor to its T-rex form, Chen Yu longingly said, Now, Im even more curious to find out what functions the other armor models have. If the full Human Weapon Series enters a battlefield, what kind of spectacular sight would it be?
[Shut your mouth! Even the movie 2012 isnt as cruel as you!]
[The Human Weapon Series also has orbital bombardment weapons. Are you sure you want it to take to the stage?]
[I dont care how humans came to be. What I want to know is how humans will disappear.]
[Compared to this armor, our modern nuclear weapons really are low-class and weak.]
[Interested in some clips? Add my WeChat ******.]
That should be it for our detailed review.
Inside the petri dish, Chen Yu scanned the tattered ground around him. Sighing, he said, A good mountain area has been reduced to such an extent. This destruction will definitely create some economic losses. I feel deeply remorseful over this.
Well then, next up
Lets further intensify things!
Chapter 164 - Are You Daydreaming?
Chapter 164 C Are You Daydreaming?
Through the petri dishs glass, Chen Yu looked at the bullet comments flying across his watchs screen. Chuckling, he waved his hand and said, Im kidding. Do you think Im such an inhumane person?
Actually, Im very grateful to Japan for preparing a venue for my review this time. Theyve even maintained such a friendly attitude despite the destruction Ive caused. Meanwhile, I am a person who knows how to show gratitude.
Hence, I will present Japan with a small gift. You can think of it as a compensation.
After saying so, Chen Yu had the T-rex walk several dozen meters forward and enter construction mode again. He then started the excavation, consolidation, and construction process.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom
Accompanied by the deafening noise and shaking of the earth, underground shelters were constructed one after another.
[I dont quite understand. How is this considered compensation?!]
[Japan has too many mountains. UP is helping them flatten a few, so it should be regarded as compensation, right?]
[Host, please enact your compensation in Tokyo!]
[Steve Jobs redefined mobile phones, while UP redefined compensations.]
Inside Japans special situation office, the old man frowned as he stared at the screen. What is he doing?
Director! At this time, an assistant who was sorting through information on a computer abruptly stood up. He then handed a faxed report to the old man and said, Look at this. This is the reasoning analysis report submitted by the analysis team.
The old man hurriedly received the report and quickly scanned it. His eyes widening, he exclaimed, Hes going to leave this armor in our country?! For our countrys research?!
Its very possible, the assistant said as he excitedly rubbed his palms together. Otherwise, it doesnt explain why he is constructing so many underground shelters. Moreover, every shelter is several dozen meters apart, and they link together to form a circle.
An enclosed circle The old mans eyes glowed with insight. Afterward, hell place the armor in the middle, facilitating the research of the nearby temporary research institutions
That should be the case. The assistant excitedly nodded.
Clenching his fists, the old man excitedly stood up and paced around the office. He then shouted, Get me a helicopter! Im going to Kyojima District to personally thank him!
Yes, sir!
At the same time, inside the special situation teams office in the distant Beijing
The special situation teams middle-aged team leader abruptly stood up, his brain working overtime. With his understanding of Chen Yu, he instantly guessed the latters thoughts.
This fellow actually knows how to employ a political tactic?
After a moment of uncertainty, the middle-aged team leader walked out of the conference room. Under the escort of four security guards, he arrived inside an isolated room and contacted his superior through an encrypted channel.
Leader, its me. I hope you can organize a team of experts, specifically those specialized in material and mechanical studies, and sent them to Japan. Yes, Chen Yu might be planning to
Chen Yu didnt understand what the various governments were doing, and neither did he want to understand.
He thoroughly immersed himself in the joy of building houses.
Why were there so many people unable to extricate themselves from Minecraft?
It was because human beings had an endless desire for creation. This was especially true for Chen Yu, who was a citizen of China.
Chen Yus construction spree lasted for over an hour, and he ended up constructing a total of 32 underground shelters. The shelters formed a big circle on the leveled land.
Boom! Boom, boom
After piloting the metal T-rex to the center of the circle, Chen Yu looked toward Little Peach and said, You, bring the camera back. The review is over.
Okay! Little Peach nodded obediently and swiped her finger across the watch.
[Its over?]
[Theres no more?]
[Isnt your livestream today a little too short?]
[I havent had enough!]
[Dont stop. Continue. I can still continue]
The floating camera quickly flew into the beast armor and arrived back at the control center.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu raised his hand and pushed a button on top of his head. Immediately, the liquid inside the petri dish was drained.
Clack!
The next moment, the petri dishs glass door opened.
After removing the respirator from his mouth, Chen Yu walked out of the petri dish with his body still drenched. He then faced the camera and shrugged, saying, Exciting and wonderful moments always go by quickly. Since were done reviewing this product, I wont continue dragging on the stream.
There are still plenty of products from the future waiting for us to review. We will not lack any excitement. Hence, there is no need for everyone to feel reluctant.
After saying so, Chen Yu slowly approached the curved window. Gazing at Japans approaching motorcade and helicopter fleet, he continued, Our friends from Japan have arrived. Im sure you guys are watching my livestream as well. The person in charge, please come on board. Make sure to bring a pen and paper. Ill be giving you a big gift.
After Chen Yu said so, one of the helicopters suddenly accelerated and charged out from the fleet. It then landed by the T-rexs tail.
Quickly! Quickly!
When the helicopter was two meters away from landing, an old man wearing a white coat suddenly jumped off the aircraft and landed on the ground.
Thud.
After staggering for a bit, the old man steadied himself and rubbed his waist. Enduring the pain in his legs, he quickly stepped on the staircase and climbed up the beast armor. While climbing the stairs, the old man suddenly turned around and shouted, Dont follow me!
Roughly six minutes later, the old man arrived before the control center while panting. He then stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. In non-fluent Chinese, he shouted, Hello! I I Ive arrived
Boom, boom.
The steel doors slowly parted to form a small gap. Little Peach then walked out of the gap.
Meanwhile, the old man cooperatively raised his hands.
After Little Peach arrived before the old man, her eyes suddenly released a red light that scanned the other party. She then nodded, saying, You may enter.
Thank you!
The old man humbly nodded and ran into the control center. As soon as he entered the room, he quickly spotted Chen Yu.
Currently, Chen Yu was standing before the giant glass window and looking into the distance. His eyes under the mask displayed profoundness and wisdom. The red haori he wore also fluttered gently.
G-Greetings! I am the director of the Institute of New Materials, Ita Hikawa.
Hello. Chen Yu turned around gracefully and stretched out his hand. I am Transdimensional Reviews UP.
Hello, hello! The old man hurriedly stepped forward and shook Chen Yus hand. He also made sure to lower his posture as much as possible.
Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction when he saw the respect in the old mans eyes.
To leave a cool first impression to the other party, he had even turned on the rooms air conditioner
Were currently in front of an audience of over two million, so I wont beat around the bush with you. After retrieving his hand, Chen Yu reached out to grab the pen and paper in the old mans coat pocket. He then quickly drew a big circle on the paper, followed by 32 smaller circles inside the big circle. Firstly, thank you for providing me a venue for my review.
Were just doing what we should do. The old man nodded repeatedly.
Even so, I am a person who repays favors. From now on, I will leave this Type-K Beast Armor in your country, letting your country conduct peripheral research on it.
The old man silently gasped. Although the analysis report he read before had stated the possibility of this outcome, upon hearing Chen Yus words of verification, he still could not help but gasp. Simultaneously, his eyes turned bloodshot with excitement.
I wont be taking responsibility if you suddenly croak here, Chen Yu said as he took a step back.
I-It wont happen, it wont happen The old man bit his tongue to control his excitement. With bated breaths, he continued, I I thank you on behalf of our government
Dont thank me yet. Let me finish. Chen Yu waved his hand to interrupt the old man. He then crossed out two of the small circles on the paper and said, See these 32 underground shelters? From now on, two of them will belong to your country.
Okay! The old man nodded vigorously. However, he then froze momentarily before asking, Two? Not all of them are ours?
Hearing this, Chen Yu visually inspected the old man several times before saying, Are you daydreaming?
The old man:
Chapter 165 - True Bigshot
Chapter 165 C True Bigshot
Im only giving two of these 32 underground shelters to you. Pointing at the two crossed-out circles with the pen, Chen Yu reiterated, These two are yours. Youll need to share the rest with the other countries.
B-But Our mountain The old mans eyes widened in surprise. However, he hesitated to continue speaking.
Your mountain? Looking at the flattened ground outside the window, Chen Yu asked, What mountain?
The old man:
Well? Straightening his mask, Chen Yu asked, Do you want them, or not?
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
Good. Patting the old mans shoulder, Chen Yu earnestly said, There are just 32 shelters. Getting two is already a lot. There are still plenty of countries waiting for their share. You cant be thinking of monopolizing the shelters, right?
Hearing this, the old mans complexion paled. Hurriedly, he shook his head and said, No! Certainly not!
[Lololol.]
[I love how shameless the Up is.]
[The remaining 30 shelters belong to our China!]
[Hahaha, Im dying from laughter.]
I knew your country has the best international spirit! After making a perfunctory remark, Chen Yu picked up the paper and started drawing on it in front of the camera. The government officials watching the livestream, open your eyes and ears. Ill only say this once.
After a short pause, Chen Yu started speaking in a stricter tone, Starting from this side of the circle, this shelter will be given to America, this one will go to Britain, this will go to Russia, this will go to France, this will go to Korea
Amidst the various government officials nervous gaze, Chen Yu quickly distributed 27 of the remaining 30 shelters.
There are three left. This is a little troublesome. Chen Yu scratched his head in irritation. There are no countries left to assign to these shelters. Japan is supplying the precious venue, so its only right for it to get an extra spot. As for the rest, no matter who I give it to, everyone else will feel dissatisfied. Since thats the case, lets just give both two China.
The old man:
The livestreams two million viewers:
As a globally-oriented UP, all of his actions should exceed the norm.
Through observing his three little sisters since young, he came to understand that while humans werent worried about getting less of something, they did worry about being treated unfairly. If he had too many bad biases, it would undoubtedly cause a severe rebound.
After returning the paper to the old man, Chen Yu reverted to a calm tone as he said, Of course, your country is the host. I still need to seek your opinion on this matter. May I know if you have any opinions on my decision?
No.
Well go with this arrangement, then.
Turning around, Chen Yu faced the camera and swept his haori into the air. Thats it for the shelter allocation. Every shelter can have up to 10 research personnel only. Besides the selected personnel, nobody else is permitted to be within two kilometers of the research site! Whichever country disobeys this rule
Deliberately lowering his voice, Chen Yu said, Will have their qualifications revoked immediately.
[How arrogant]
[Boss, youre awesome! (voice cracking)]
[Boss, youre awesome! (voice cracking)]
[Host, youre the ruler of the world!]
[Coolest UP in history.]
[Awesome, awesome, awesome!]
[6969]
It was inconvenient to move the metal T-rex about, and hiding it was also impossible. Rather than have the various governments trying to spy on him, he might as well host an exhibition and let everyone research it together.
Moreover, now that the various governments had benefited from him, they would be more inclined to be polite to him. Otherwise, he could simply retrieve the benefits he offered, and nobody would be able to object to his actions. After all, his identity currently still remained a secret to everyone.
Meanwhile, as the various governments gradually got used to his domineering ways of distributing benefits, he would also gradually gain more speaking rights. This, in turn, would allow him to gain influence over the world and become a bigshot that nobody could ignore
This was the means of control and balancing he learned through dealing with his three little sisters.
So long as he dealt with the various countries governments like how he dealt with his little sisters, he would definitely rise to prominence.
Great wisdom. What great wisdom I have
While secretly lamenting over his big brain, Chen Yu faced the camera and continued, As an ordinary human being, I hope that mankind can develop and grow. Hence, I have shared this valuable research opportunity with all of mankind. I also hope that everyone can obey the rules and progress together.
The rules are simple. Stretching out four fingers, Chen Yu said, One: All research members are only allowed to conduct their research in the outer perimeter. You are permitted to collect materials, but each shelter cannot contain more than 10 grams. Otherwise, your qualification will be revoked.
Two: Research results can be shared and exchanged. However, you are not allowed to secure the research results of others through unscrupulous means. Otherwise, your qualification will be revoked.
Three: The members of each shelter must be a citizen of the shelters allocated country. If any country tries to coerce others into giving up their slots, they will have their qualifications revoked.
Four: Anyone who is dissatisfied with the arrangement will have their qualifications revoked. Just pack up and go.
Lowering his hand, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before continuing, Well, thats it for now. Only four rules, though I might add more in the future. I hope everyone can unite peacefully and make outstanding contributions to mankinds technology, development, and culture.
I always believe that compared to people of the future, our modern civilization is filled with much greater hope.
Why? Because we are the ones that have created the path they walk.
After saying so, Chen Yu crossed his fingers as usual.
Thats it for todays review. Although I feel very reluctant, we must still say our goodbyes.
Firstly, I would like to thank the Haqiu Arms Company for supplying us with this Type-K Beast Armor. Its quality is excellent, and its performance is powerful. I hope I have more opportunities to see your companys products in the future.
Secondly, I would like to thank my viewers. It is only because of your support that my reviews can get better and better. I hope everyone can spread the word of my channel offline so that we have more viewers for the next official livestream, and my access level will rise higher.
[Next time definitely.]
[Next time definitely. +1]
[Next time definitely. +2]
[Dont leave me!!]
[I would like to sacrifice my little brother in exchange for a 10-minute extension of your livestream.]
[Its over?]
After putting on the watch Little Peach handed to him, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, Once my access level is increased, I will bring even more impressive and magical technological products for everyone to see.
This has been Transdimensional Reviews official livestream. Let us meet again
Next month!
After saying his closing lines, Chen Yu turned off the livestream without hesitation.
The screens of the 2.31 million viewers instantly turned dark.
A perfect finish.
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Chen Yu moved his shoulders around. He then turned toward the old man beside him and raised his eyebrows, asking, Hey, old man, youre still here?
Huh? Ah! Ill leave right away! Right away! After snapping out of his daze, the old man hurriedly bowed and left.
Oh, take your pen with you.
Thank you.
Handing over the pen, Chen Yu smiled and said, Once more, I would like to thank your country for your help and for providing me with a venue today. I truly apologize for the problems I have caused to the residents living in the town.
It doesnt matter. It is our honor for you to review your advanced technology in our country, the old man said as he executed a 90-degree bow.
Oh, I see. Nodding, Chen Yu said, Ill come again next time, then.
The old man: ?!!
Chapter 166 - Top-secret Envelope
Chapter 166 C Top-secret Envelope
Beijing, inside an unlisted buildings conference room
Its finally over
Seeing the screen falling into darkness, everyone inside the conference room immediately started having quiet discussions among themselves. They were also busy exchanging information and analysis reports with each other.
Meanwhile, the special situation teams leader sitting at the meeting tables head closed his eyes tiredly as he massaged his temples.
Aside from the growing complexity of the situation, what he was more concerned about was Chen Yus growth.
A high schooler who had yet to properly establish his worldview had actually employed a political strategy! Moreover, he had even succeeded to a certain extent
This situation put the middle-aged team leader in a bind.
Combined with his personality portrait, it can be judged that Chen Yus actions had a strong purpose.
Well have an increasingly difficult time controlling him at this rate.
Sighing, the middle-aged team leader opened his eyes and scanned the room. Just as he was about to conclude the meeting, the doors to the room suddenly opened.
Leader, theres a report here that you need to look at alone.
The newcomer was a robust young man wearing a tunic suit.
A stern expression appeared on the middle-aged team leaders face. After gesturing for everyone to continue with their discussions, he stood up and left for an isolated room together with the youth.
Is it a top-secret crown? the team leader asked tentatively after closing the door to the room.
Yes. The young man nodded. He then raised the briefcase handcuffed to his wrist, removed the seal, and opened it.
Inside the briefcase sat a brownish-yellow envelope, and the words Top Secret were written on the envelope.
There was also a red seal with gold rims placed on the envelopes flap.
Paper documents like these were referred to as crowns internally.
Hu
After taking a deep breath, the middle-aged team leader picked up the document and removed the seal in front of the youth. He then pulled out two sheets of paper and started reading through their content carefully.
The more he read, however, the more solemn his expression became
He felt as if his worldview was devastated once more.
The amount of shock he felt now was only second to his initial discovery of Transdimensional Review
Are you sure there are no mistakes? the middle-aged team leader asked a pointless question.
None. The youth in the tunic suit shook his head expressionlessly.
Can I read it again?
Yes, but make it quick.
Thank you.
Nodding, the team leader started looking through the first page again, his eyes focused on the bold headline in the top row.
Summary of Europas Subglacial Liquid Analysis.
Five minutes later, he placed the documents back into the envelope with trembling hands. He then handed the envelope to the youth and said, T-Thank you.
This is my duty. After receiving the envelope, the youth carefully returned it into the briefcase. In reality, this kind of information is unrelated to your position. According to regulations, you shouldnt be allowed to know of it. However, considering the particularity of your current task, the higher-ups have decided to make an exception.
I know. The middle-aged team leader nodded. I understand. I will include this information in our future analyses.
Alright. I will be leaving first, then.
After saying so, the youth opened the door and left the room.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged team leader remained standing still for some time, his mind in a chaotic mess.
The content of the top-secret file was straightforward, and it disclosed only one information.
There was life under Europas ice layer!
Moreover, it was a highly evolved, multicellular organism!
The active geological environment, temperature, oxygen, carbon, sulfur, and other organic matter available provided a suitable breeding ground for the birth of life.
This meant that humans were not unique.
In just one solar system, two terrestrial objects had given birth to life.
Meanwhile, how many terrestrial objects were there in the entire galaxy?
Incalculable!
Taking a step back, how many solar systems were there in the Milky Way?
A conservative estimate placed the number at 380 billion.
Setting aside Kepler-62F, TRAPPIST-1d, Teegardens Star b, and other planets that have been discovered to have a large amount of liquid water and organic matter, there were at least 90 billion star systems with habitable terrestrial planets.
As for the number of terrestrial planets existing in galaxy groups, superclusters, and universes outside the Milky Way galaxy There was no longer any meaning to calculate it.
Hence, through inferring from this data, it was inevitable for life to exist in the universe.
At least, Earths existence had proven this point already.
Presumably, in 2020, not many people would still think that Earth was a unique existence
In the vast and boundless universe, life existed like womens clothing. There were either none or a countless amount.
However, knowing was one thing. Finding evidence that proved this theory was another thing altogether.
The middle-aged team leader still suffered a severe blow to his spirit after finding out about this information.
Combined with the unforgettable products Transdimensional Review had revealed, he gradually felt uneasy and made unrealistic guesses
Its finally over. Im exhausted.
By the time Chen Yu and Little Peach returned home, it was already half past one in the afternoon.
After walking through the Interstellar Portal and arriving inside his bedroom, Chen Yu threw himself straight onto the bed.
The liquid-touch control was novel, and the sensory feedback the liquid provided was also excellent. The only problem was that liquid-touch control required a lot of stamina to operate. With Chen Yus current physical abilities, he was still far from comparing to the 24th centurys elite soldiers.
Operating the Type-K Beast Armor continuously for several hours had inevitably made his muscles accumulate too much lactic acid. Now, his muscles were aching all over.
Mr. Chen, will you be sleeping now?
Seeing Chen Yu lying motionlessly on the bed, Little Peach walked over and picked up the Hypnosis Rattle from the bedside table.
Mhm. Turning his head around, Chen Yu stared at Little Peach and asked, Why are you so eager for me to sleep nowadays? Youre even offering to hypnotize me every time.
Im worried that youll overwork yourself, Mr. Chen, Little Peach said without blinking.
Are you doing something while Im sleeping? Chen Yu suddenly sat up, a skeptical look on his face.
No.
Look at my eyes.
Im looking at them. Little Peach looked at Chen Yu innocently.
Cant you put some expressions on your face?
What expression would you like to see? I can simulate it for you.
Forget it. Stay away from me. Im going to rest.
Ill hypnotize you! Little Peach hurriedly raised the rattle.
No need! Go write codes!
Oh.
After responding with a grunt, Little Peach turned around regretfully. As she sat before the computer desk and typed away on the keyboard, she would occasionally sneak a peek at Chen Yu. Her behavior made it seem as if she was looking for an opportunity to strike
Lying back on the bed, Chen Yu buried his face in his pillow and rested for 10 minutes or so. He then rolled over lazily and raised his watch to inspect the income he generated from todays livestream.
[Name: Chen Yu]
[Access Level: D (Number of live streaming platforms opened: 5)]
[Current Subscribers: 2,826,601]
[Current Accumulated Points: 287]
[Main Target: Raise your access level to D+ within four promotional quarters.]
Hehe, not bad, not bad.
Seeing the three digits under Accumulated Points, Chen Yu could not help but laugh in excitement.
The fifth official livestream was very successful. He had attracted a total of 2.32 million viewers. Including the 55 leftover points, he now had a massive sum of 287 points.
According to the Transdimensional Stores rules, the more points he had, the better the products recommended would be. Chen Yu had reason to look forward to the stores next refresh.
Hence, he eagerly swiped his finger across his watch and entered the Transdimensional Store.
After a quick refresh, five products were listed on the screen in an orderly manner. The information of these products was reflected in Chen Yus energetic eyes.
However, when he saw the first recommended product, he immediately became dumbfounded.
Chapter 167 - Triple Absurdity
Chapter 167 C Triple Absurdity
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]
[1. Painless Gender Conversion Processing Bed: Produced by the Tellore Company in 2158. The bed comes with a 60-liter high-concentration liquid hernia. Users can freely set the parameters for breast uplift and contraction, laryngeal knot enlargement and shrinkage, bone grinding, and hair removal. Users can painlessly convert their genders within 45 minutes by themselves. The selling price is 85 points.]
I freaking knew it!
After snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu covered his face in agony.
Not only was the Transdimensional Stores first recommendation an absurd product, but out of all things, why did it have to be a gender converter?
What is going on with my mind
Hurriedly, he swiped his finger across the watch and looked toward the second product to cleanse his eyes with.
[2. Cockroach Milk Generator: Produced by the Fierce Cattle Dairy Co., Ltd. in 2067. After placing a large number of live cockroaches into the built-in crushing furnace, the machine will filter, disinfect, crush, and squeeze the cockroaches to obtain fresh cockroach milk that is rich in protein and vitamins. Under the same volume, cockroach milk provides 3-4 times the energy that ordinary milk offers. This is a product created for those who are lactose intolerant! The selling price is 67 points.]
Dammit! What are these things?!
Chen Yu was going crazy.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldnt have mattered even if the Transdimensional Store recommended nonsensical products. After all, he had the final say in purchasing these items. However, the main problem was that the store only recommended products based on the subconscious thoughts in his brain This was something he couldnt tolerate.
After remaining in a daze for a long time, Chen Yu sat up and turned toward the third product.
I believe my brain is healthy and normal
[3. Appealing Skirt: Produced by the Romantic Beauty Apparel Company in 2118. A short lily skirt that is hand-woven from silk. There is an electronic pheromone generator attached to the back of the waist strap. When activated, the generator generates pheromones that stimulate all human males cerebral cortex within 10 meters, giving them an uncontrollable urge to flip the skirt. If this skirt is worn on a street with foot traffic of 200 people per hour, there is a 92% chance for someone to flip the skirt. The selling price is 40 points.]
Chen Yu:
Standing up, Chen Yu walked out of his bedroom.
Big Brother! Play with me! Chen Erke, who was hugging the husky, hurriedly approached Chen Yu when she saw him.
Theres something wrong with Big Brothers head, so stay away. I dont want to hurt you
After shooing his little sister away, Chen Yu walked into the bathroom and turned on the sink faucet. He then thoroughly washed his face before staring at the mirror with dull eyes.
After a while, he turned on the faucet again and poured some water into his ears.
If I get some water into my brain, I should have a clearer mind.
While mumbling to himself, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom. He then returned his attention to his watch and flipped toward the fourth product.
[4. Invisibility Cloak: Produced by the Hyperstealth Company in 2205. The cloak adopts the principle of the pellicle mirror. The main body is made of nano-supramolecular textile material, and the cloak weighs a total of 130 grams. The cloak can effectively guide light around the surface of the object it is covering to achieve a stealth effect. The cloak does not retain any light that can be recognized by the human eye, and it also negates weak X-ray scans. The selling price is 85 points.]
Thank the heavens!
Chen Yu nearly broke into tears.
Finally, something normal! This is what I want!
Without hesitation, Chen Yu tapped on the screen and purchased the Invisibility Cloak.
[94 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 193]
As the text flashed across his screen, space in his room immediately distorted, which was followed by the appearance of a space-time wormhole. A flat, white box then fell out of the wormhole.
Chen Yu waited for the wormhole to disappear like always before he went forward to pick up the box.
Mr. Chen, did you buy something fun again? Little Peach ran over with sparkling eyes.
Is having fun the only thing you know how to do?
Mhm.
Ignoring the robot beside him, Chen Yu excitedly licked his lips and removed the boxs seal.
When he opened the box, he found that the inside was completely empty.
Scratching her head, Little Peach asked, Did you buy a box?
Heh.
Chen Yu chuckled. Without giving an explanation, he reached into the box and grabbed the Invisibility Cloak inside. When he lifted the cloak, his arm immediately disappeared
Wow! Little Peach exclaimed in surprise.
Awesome, right?
Yes! Little Peach nodded repeatedly. How did you cut off your arm?
Are you really an artificial intelligence?
Thats right.
Please go back to writing codes. This isnt a toy, Chen Yu said as he did his best to stay calm.
Oh, okay.
After seeing his robot obediently sitting before the computer table, Chen Yu turned his head away. He then stroked and inspected the cloaks fabric before carefully placing it over his body.
His field of visionwent dark.
Huh? I cant see whats outside if I put it on my head.
Vaguely sensing that something was amiss, Chen Yu quickly removed the cloak.
He then draped the cloak across his shoulders, and sure enough, the effects were excellent. Everything below his shoulders had turned invisible.
However
I think I got scammed. After falling silent momentarily, Chen Yu angrily bellowed, This thing is still showing my head!
Huh? Little Peach turned around when she heard Chen Yus words. Immediately, she exclaimed, You cut off your whole body?!
Hurriedly walking to the mirror, Chen Yu pulled the cloak up and down his head several times. In the end, he came to a conclusion.
Sure enough, he got scammed
There was a massive flaw in this cloaks design!
If he wanted to become fully invisible, he couldnt see the outside world. If he wanted to see the outside world, he would have to reveal his head
Hmm I think theres a way around this.
After pondering before the mirror for some time, he thoroughly covered himself with the Invisibility Cloak once more. He then used his watch to manipulate the invisible camera.
Immediately, the scene of the outside world appeared on his watchs screen.
Ahahaha! Sure enough, I have great wisdom!
Bending down, Chen Yu started slowly creeping forward. With the cameras guidance, he could now move without restrictions. With this item, I wont have to spend money to visit the bathhouse anymore. Awesome
After circling around his room, he approached Little Peach and asked, Hey, dimwit. Can you see me?
Turning around, Little Peach could not help but be stunned when she looked at the direction Chen Yus voice came from. She then reached out with her fingers and touched the cloak, asking, Are you here? So you became invisible?
Can you see me? Chen Yu repeated his question.
Her eyes suddenly turning red, Little Peach answered, I can see your infrared image. The temperature of your lower abdomen is above average. You should urinate.
Removing the Invisibility Cloak, Chen Yu indifferently pointed at the laptop and said, Continue working.
You should really urinate
Work.
Okay. Little Peach pouted as she turned around.
After donning the Invisibility Cloak once more, Chen Yu walked toward his bedroom door and gently opened it. He then flew the camera out of the room.
Currently, Chen Erke was drawing with her crayons alone in the living room.
A hint of playfulness appearing in his heart, Chen Yu cautiously approached Chen Erke.
Looking at Chen Erkes drawing paper through the camera, Chen Yu discovered that his little sister was drawing a large crab that was brandishing its claws. However, the strange thing was that the crab was standing on a spiderweb Seeing this, he could not help but be confused as to whether Chen Erke was drawing a crab or a spider.
When Chen Yu was within three meters of the sofa, Chen Erke suddenly sensed something and abruptly turned toward Chen Yus direction.
What the? Chen Yus nerves tensed up. He was so surprised that he had subconsciously held his breath. Can she see me?
For a time, the two siblings stared at each other through the Invisibility Cloak
Chapter 168 - Only Sanke is Cute
Chapter 168 C Only Sanke is Cute
What the? Can she see me?
Inside the Chen abodes living room, Chen Yu held his breath as he hid within the Invisibility Cloak.
Huh? Tilting her head in doubt, Chen Erke set aside her crayon and stood up. She then started walking in Chen Yus direction.
Can she really see me?
Startled, Chen Yu hurriedly backed away.
Meanwhile, after arriving at Chen Yus original position, Chen Erke got down on all fours and sniffed the floor. Where did this foot odor come from?
Chen Yu:
Its smelly like Big Brothers.
Chen Yu:
Disgusting. Chen Erke frowned and stuck out her tongue. She then returned to the sofa and continued her drawing.
Chen Yu:
Not cute at all!
Chen Yu inwardly cursed before turning around and heading toward the bathroom.
Maybe because he was angry, he suddenly felt an urge to pee.
Slide.
When he pulled open the bathroom door, a puff of cigarette smoke greeted him.
Upon looking through the camera, Chen Yus expression promptly darkened.
The husky was currently lying on the edge of the toilet, and it held a lit cigarette in its paw as it leisurely spat out smoke from its mouth.
Meanwhile, when the husky heard the sound of the door sliding open, it absent-mindedly turned around. Seeing that nobody was at the door, it took another puff of its cigarette before flicking the ash into the toilet.
Huff.
Gray smoke flowed out of the huskys nostrils, and the dog rolled back its eyes in satisfaction.
Splash!
At this time, a stream of yellowish water suddenly sprayed out from thin air, extinguishing the cigarette
What the woof? The husky immediately became dumbfounded. Tilting its canine head, it observed the stream of water that appeared out of nowhere, a blank look appearing on its face.
Splash
Shortly after, the stream of water shrank until it disappeared in a trickle. The next moment, Chen Yu abruptly removed the Invisibility Cloak and grabbed the extinguished cigarette in the huskys paw. After tossing the cigarette into the toilet, he bellowed, You damned animal, youre smoking?!
The huskys eyes widened as it looked at Chen Yu, who had appeared out of nowhere. It then looked at the cigarette in the toilet before saying, Meow?
Meow my ass! Youre a dog! Grabbing the husky by its ear, Chen Yu demanded, Speak! Nobody in the family smokes! Where did you get your cigarette?!
Woof! Woof, woof! the husky explained.
Chen Yu:
Woof, woof! Awoof! With a serious expression, the husky shrugged and said, Woof.
Can you speak human words?
Woof~ Cant talk, awoo
English?! Chen Yu gaped in shock. You learned how to speak English?!
Y-Yes Opening its mouth, the husky squeezed out a few ambiguous words, Any queestiwoo~ons?
After a long silence, Chen Yu flushed the toilet and put on the Invisibility Cloak. He then silently exited the bathroom before saying, Sorry for the interruption, boss.
After closing the sliding door, Chen Yu crouched in front of the bathroom and started drawing circles on the ground, a feeling of sadness filling his heart.
This dog had learned English just by following Chen Yike around all day
Was it going to start studying the theory of relativity in the future?
Ugh.
After sighing deeply, Chen Yu walked toward Chen Yikes room.
Logically, if the dog can learn English by tagging along with Eldest, theres no reason why I cant learn from her, too, right?
With such thoughts in mind, Chen Yu gently pushed open the door to Chen Yikes room. And through the small gap formed, he saw Chen Yike doing something incomprehensible before her study table
She was playing air piano while staring at the piano poster on the wall! Her mouth was even dubbing sounds to her actions! Dang, dang, dang! Dang, dang!
Her intoxicated expression, swaying body, and dancing hair dealt a severe blow to Chen Yus spirit. In the end, Chen Yu chose to close the door slowly.
Lunatics!
This family is filled with lunatics!
Chen Yu scratched his head in agony. After looking around at a loss for a while, he dragged his feet toward the master bedroom.
Upon entering the bedroom, he saw Chen Sanke lying on a small bed. She was currently fast asleep while hugging her gold-plated feeding bottle, the sunlight that snuck through the sheer curtains leaving little spots on her face. Overall, a tranquil and serene atmosphere filled the entire bedroom.
Instantly, Chen Yus mental state regained its calm due to this warm scene.
Out of everyone in the family, only Third Eldest is cute.
Sighing, Chen Yu walked up to Chen Sanke and extended his hand out of the Invisibility Cloak. He then gently stroked the little girls plump face.
This feeling, this elasticity. Tsk, tsk.
Uu Chen Sanke opened one of her eyes in a daze. After looking around and finding no one, she nestled her head back into her pillow and continued sleeping.
At this time, the evil claw appeared out of thin air once more, and it grabbed at Chen Sankes cheek.
Huh? Chen Sanke opened her eyes and blinked. However, she still failed to find anybody around her.
She then closed her eyes again. Shortly after, though, faint crackling sounds entered her ears.
My cookies!
Abruptly sitting up, Chen Sanke hurriedly looked toward the butter cookie box beside her bed. Five small cookies sat neatly inside the box.
Five pieces? There are five pieces left?
Suspiciously scratching her feet, Chen Sanke laid back down on her bed while tightly hugging the cookie box. Drowsiness overtaking her mind, she dazedly fell asleep again.
Three minutes later, the devils hand appeared once more, and it gently pulled away Chen Sankes feeding bottle and cookie box.
When the hand returned the two items it took, both containers were empty
How cute. Chen Yu muttered as he smacked his lips. He then tiptoed out of the room. She even knows how to leave some food for her Big Brother
Shortly after Chen Yu returned to his room, he heard the sound of Chen Erke and Chen Sanke fighting in the living room.
Hah Both of them are sisters. Cant they live in harmony?
Chen Yu grew worried about the relationship between his two younger sisters for one second. Afterward, he ignored their fight and tossed the Invisibility Cloak aside. He then laid down on his bed and slid his finger across his watchs screen to inspect the Transdimensional Stores final recommended product.
[5. The Eager Squid Girl: Produced by the Nintendo Company in 2344. The Eager Squid Girl is the latest generation augmented reality combat game, and it supports up to 5 vs. 5 vs. 5 battles. After putting on the squid suit, players will have a chibi version of themselves generated with virtual rendering, and they can participate in battle using this chibi unit. The ink sprayed out by the weapon is created through the use of virtual lighting and quantum foam. People who are not participating in the game will not be affected by this ink. The selling price is 120 points.][1]
An augmented reality combat game?
Chen Yus eyes instantly lit up with excitement. After carefully reading the explanation once more, he fell into a conundrum.
Seeing that the manufacturer was Nintendo, this product should be a game. In that case, it should be suitable for hosting an interactive livestream, and the performance of the livestream would be excellent. However, after including tax, the total price would exceed 130 points.
Its a little expensive.
After frowning and pondering for some time, Chen Yu looked toward Little Peach, who was hard at work
Im doing this to let Little Peach relax as well as increase the channels popularity. Its definitely not because I want to play as well.
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu clicked the Purchase button without hesitation.
[128 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 65]
Buzz!
A wormhole appeared in the room immediately, and a large, white box fell out of it.
Thud.
Upon hearing the box landing, Little Peach promptly turned around and cried out in joy, Its a toy!
Stunned, Chen Yu asked, How do you know?
I was tricking you, but now Im sure! Little Peach jumped off her chair excitedly and ran up to the delivery box. She then revealed a stupid smile on her face as she said, Great! A toy! Can robots play it as well?
Sometimes Chen Yu held his aching forehead. I dont know if your IQ is low or high.
Without waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Little Peach picked up the delivery box and handed it to Chen Yu. With sparkles in her beautiful eyes, she said, Mr. Chen, open it.
This is for a livestream. Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, Well only open it during the additional livestream.
When will we host it?
The official livestream just ended. Lets wait a few more days. For now, announce the livestream on the broadcasting platforms to hype it up.
Okay! Little Peach hurriedly put down the package and ran up to her laptop. She then loudly tapped away at the keyboard.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu picked up the package and weighed it in his hands. Simultaneously, he started planning for the upcoming additional livestream. This interactive livestream is going to be interesting
After saying so, Chen Yus eyes fell on the other delivery box he had opened. Suddenly, he realized something and started frantically searching about his room.
Dammit! Wheres my cloak?!
Chapter 169 - You’re Quite Bold, Huh?
Chapter 169 C Youre Quite Bold, Huh?
Once, Chen Yu had a magical Invisibility Cloak.
So long as he donned it on his body, aside from Chen Erke, nobody else could locate him.
One day, however, he casually threw it aside and couldnt find it again
In the end, he still ended up getting scammed
Where did it go?
At seven oclock the next morning, Chen Yu had school bags hung all over his body like always as he went to school together with his three little sisters. Throughout the journey, his mind had been thinking of the Invisibility Cloak.
He had searched both his room and the living room. He had even employed the huskys help. However, he still failed to locate the missing cloak.
Dammit! My points
After letting out a long sigh, Chen Yu stopped his footsteps and looked at the kindergarten ahead of him. Passing the school bag in his left hand to Chen Sanke, he said, Third Eldest, have fun and listen to the teacher.
Okay. Chen Sanke grabbed her school bag. Simultaneously, she squinted angrily at Chen Erke.
What are you looking at? Responding to Chen Sankes glare, Chen Erke, who had band-aids placed on her cheeks and forehead, revealed a defiant look as she said, You want another beating?
Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Chen Sanke stuck her tongue out at Chen Erke. Disgusting person!
Youre the disgusting person! Chen Erke brandished her fists angrily.
Chen Sanke: Reflect.
Chen Erke: Reflect again.
Reflect again! Full stop.
Revise, reflect, full stop. No more revisions allowed.
Remove with liquid paper, reflect! Whoever reflects again is a dog!
Woof! Reflect!
A frown formed on Chen Yus face as he listened to his two little sisters argument. Quickly, he dragged Chen Erke away. Time to go.
Meanwhile, after getting dragged across the street, Chen Erke angrily looked at Chen Yu and said, Brother, why are you stopping me? Im going to teach her a lesson!
Take a look at yourself. Look at how much Third Eldest beat you up.
I lost yesterday because the living room was too small. I couldnt put my strength to full use.
You failed to run away, right?
Brother! Stamping her feet, Chen Erke complained, If were fighting with real weapons, she wont be my match.
Fine, fine, fine. Youre the best.
Brother. Puffing up her cheeks, Chen Erke said, I want to learn Taekwondo.
What are you trying to do? Chen Yu asked as he visually inspected his little sister. Revenge?
Do you think Ill need martial arts to beat Third Eldest? Chen Erke said in contempt. Im just doing it to strengthen my body. My teacher already said that girls need to learn some self-defense skills. Brother, you have money now. Can you enroll me in a taekwondo class?
This
Please, Big Brother. Youre the best, Chen Erke pleaded as she hugged and rubbed her head against Chen Yus thigh. Please! If you let me learn it, Ill give you back massages every day.
Really?
Really! Really! Chen Erke nodded repeatedly.
Fine, then. Big Brother will enroll you in a taekwondo class. You must finish at least the first term. If you can endure the hardship, Ill even let you continue.
Really?! Big Brother, youre the best! Big Brother, youre awesome! Thank you, Big Brother!
Stop, stop! Stop rubbing! Stay away from me!
Brother! Are you really going to let Second Eldest take revenge on Third Eldest? Chen Yike, who stood behind the brother and sister duo, asked, frowning.
What revenge? Children will forget about their fights after a few days, Chen Yu said as he raised his pants. Letting Second Eldest learn some self-defense skills is a good thing as well. If she has a strong body, she wont get bullied at school.
Right! Chen Erke nodded in agreement.
Your stop is here. Time to go to school. Stopping his footsteps, Chen Yu passed the school bag in his right hand to Chen Erke and said, Listen to the teacher. If anyone bullies you, tell me.
I know. Big Brother, I love you.
I love you too.
After seeing off Chen Erke, Chen Yu turned toward Chen Yike and fell silent for a moment. He then said, How about I enroll you into a class as well?
Me? What class?
How about the piano?
P-Piano? Chen Yikes face suddenly flushed. I-I dont like the piano! Why should I learn it?
Do you really hate it?
I I dont like it.
Oh. Grinning, Chen Yu said, Nevermind, then.
Mhm. Hearing Chen Yus words, Chen Yike hesitantly opened her mouth to say something. In the end, however, she merely grunted in affirmation before silently following Chen Yu.
After walking for another four minutes, the two siblings arrived before the entrance of a middle school. After tossing the bag on his chest to Chen Yike, Chen Yu turned away while saying, Pay attention to class, and no dating. Ill break your legs otherwise.
Hugging onto her bag, Chen Yike blankly stared at Chen Yus departing back without saying anything.
After arriving in Sixth Highs Class 2-2, Chen Yu sat on his seat.
Xing Biqi, who sat in front of Chen Yu, turned around and greeted, C-Chen Yu, youre early.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded perfunctorily. He then took out his phone and visited Bilibilis platform to look at the edited version of yesterdays livestream.
Have you eaten?
I did.
I-I made some snacks again. Would you like to try them? While saying so, Xing Biqi had already pushed a delicate lunchbox toward Chen Yu.
Frowning, Chen Yu asked, Why are you making food for me every day? Where did you get the extra money?
I saved it, Xing Biqi squeaked.
Accepting the lunch box and opening the lid, Chen Yu discovered a pink strawberry ice cream cake inside. After remaining silent for a moment, he picked up the chopsticks Xing Biqi provided while asking, You made it?
Mhm. The girl nodded with a blush on her face.
I nearly believed it. While replaying some spy movies in his mind, Chen Yu stabbed his chopsticks into the cake, picked up a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Meanwhile, Xing Biqi clenched her fists as she looked at Chen Yu expectantly. H-How is it? Is it delicious?
In response, Chen Yu simply shook his head as he swallowed the cake. He then proceeded to grab another bite.
Is it bad? The young girl looked very disappointed.
However, Chen Yu simply continued shaking his head and grabbed another bite.
Is it good, or not?
Chen Yu still shook his head in response.
C-Chen Yu, can you give me a comment? Xing Biqi asked as she pinched the corners of her shirt. I-Ill improve next time.
Ive already given you my comment, Chen Yu said.
What?
See my hand holding the chopsticks?
I see it.
Take the chopsticks away.
Xing Biqi skeptically pulled the chopsticks away.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu kept his hand in its chopstick-holding position as he indifferently asked, Can you see what this gesture is?
The girl carefully stared at Chen Yus right hand, and her eyes gradually widened as realization dawned on her.
Noticing the girls realization, Chen Yu gradually railed in his little finger, ring finger, and middle finger, making the ? gesture his index finger and thumb made even more apparent. Smiling, he said, Ive been expressing my opinion all this time.
Xing Biqi covered her mouth, her eyes instantly becoming moist. With a stifled voice, she said, T-Thank you.
Although Im not sure if you actually made this, its delicious.
Withdrawing his hand, Chen Yu swallowed the last piece of cake before saying, You can turn around now.
Mhm!
The girl wiped her tears, and excitedly turned away. A moment later, however, she suddenly turned back and whispered, C-Chen Yu, can I trouble you with something?
What is it? Speak.
The finals are coming soon. I Glancing at Chen Yu shyly, Xing Biqi continued, I still have many things I dont know. C-Can you come to my house and teach me in a few days?
Go to your house? To teach you how to study?
Mhm. M-My grandparents wont be home during this time?~.
Is that so. As if deep in thought, Chen Yu asked, Which subject?
Physics.
Oh Realization dawned on Chen Yu as he visually inspected Xing Biqi. A moment later, the corners of his lips curved up as he said, Sure, sure. Im good at physics. I have something to do these next few days. Well do it next week. Ill go to your house to teach you.
Chen Yu deliberately emphasized the last two words.
He, hehe. Xing Biqis blush had spread all the way to the roots of her ears. Quickly, she turned around and leaned against her table. She also stamped his feet repeatedly in excitement.
Meanwhile, a sneer had appeared on Chen Yus face.
Youre quite bold, huh?
Chapter 170 - A Leader’s Presence
Chapter 170 C A Leaders Presence
Five days went by rapidly.
At 8 oclock on Saturday morning, to verify whether the various governments were behaving themselves, Chen Yu had teleported to the inside of the Type-K Beast Armor. As he scanned the outside through the glass window, he noticed the figures of many scientific researchers.
Lets see if we can find someone to make an example of
Chen Yu put on his protective suits helmet and walked out of the control room, fully armed.
After walking out of the machine, Chen Yu powered up the plasma engine and took to the skies. And after scanning the area below him, he nodded in satisfaction.
There was no additional personnel found within two kilometers of the metal T-rex. Meanwhile, stationed outside the two-kilometer radius were the troops dispatched by the worlds various governments. These soldiers prevented any unrelated personnel from entering the restricted area.
It seems my orders have quite the power.
Looking at the well-organized scene, Chen Yu suddenly recalled the words the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff member once told him: No matter the space-time or era, strength would always be the most stable form of support. As the number of transdimensional products he revealed to the public increased, so would his authority and deterrence. Eventually, the others would be the ones who need to be afraid.
As he observed 30 of the worlds most powerful governments obediently following the rules he set, Chen Yu could not help but feel a refreshing feeling.
I can feel it now.
After giving his waist a comfortable stretch, Chen Yu descended toward the area where Chinas three underground shelters were located at.
When the researchers working above ground saw Chen Yu, they could not help but be startled. Hurriedly, they picked up their communicators and contacted their respective superiors.
Ignoring the researchers, Chen Yu descended the stairs of one of the shelters and came across a glass wall. To be precise, a glass room had been erected inside the underground shelter.
Meanwhile, inside the shelter were strange equipment of varying sizes. Aside from a few microscopes, Chen Yu couldnt recognize any of the other equipment.
Leaning against the glass wall and looking around, Chen Yu counted a total of five researchers wearing disinfection suits inside the room.
Knock, knock, knock.
Chen Yu knocked on the glass.
Hearing the noise, the five researchers simultaneously raised their heads. And upon seeing Chen Yu, their mouths immediately fell wide open in shock.
Knock, knock!
Tapping the glass again, Chen Yu shouted, Hey, can I go in?
One of the researchers hurriedly ran forward and pulled open a glass door. With a trembling voice, he said, Y-YoureK-King
Mr. King.
Yes, yes! Mr. King, right?
Thats me, Chen Yu said as he pointed at his helmet. Can I go in and have a look? Do I need to be disinfected?
N-No need! P-Please, come in.
Under the researchers respectful guidance, Chen Yu entered the glass room. Looking around, he asked, Are you guys the only ones using this shelter?
There are 10 of us. The other s-six went next door to assist in an experiment, the man following behind Chen Yu explained while anxiously contacting his superiors and team leader.
Taking a seat on a chair, Chen Yu picked up a portable microscope and asked, Its been a few days now. How is your research coming along? Have you gotten any results yet?
T-The research is still ongoing.
I see that youve fully equipped the room already. Are the other shelters in a similar state?
Yes, the male researcher answered as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He felt as if he was currently being subjected to an inspection by his superior
Where do you guys sleep at?
W-We set up tents outside
After the twos conversation continued for a short while, several elderly researchers ran into the shelter with quivering bodies. They then struggled with each other to shake hands with Chen Yu.
G-Greetings, greetings!
Greetings, Mr. K-King.
Greetings, I am the person in charge of the research team
Extending both hands, Chen Yu shook hands with the elderly researchers one after another. He then calmly said, Sit. Everyone, please take a seat.
Uh
However, when the researchers looked around, they found no available chairs.
Thats unnecessary. Were fine standing.
Hearing this, Chen Yu also stood up and waved his hand, saying, Everyone here is a pillar of the country. If you remain standing, how can a youngster like myself remain seated?
Youre too polite.
Thats right. Youre too polite.
Patting his chest, Chen Yu sincerely said, I did not come here intending to interrupt your urgent research. However, I simply cannot rest assured. I worried that my fellow countrymen would suffer at the hands of the other nations. Hence, I wish to ask everyone here: has anyone mistreated you?
None! an old man with a white beard replied, his eyes moistening. He then excitedly grabbed one of Chen Yus hands and said, I have spent half my life engaging in scientific research abroad, yet I have never been able to hold my head as high as I can today! Nobody has mistreated us!
Thats good, then. Chen Yu patted the old mans hands. Everyones family here, so Ill get straight to the point.
Please go on.
Cough, cough. Clearing his throat, Chen Yu spoke in a sad tone, Truthfully, I wanted to save every underground shelter for our own use. However, the world is currently undergoing globalization. We cannot be too prejudiced in our actions. I feel despondent about this situation.
Say no more. Another elderly researcher with reddened eyes said, We understand the big picture. Your assignment is correct.
Thank you for understanding, everyone. Chen Yu nodded. Sighing, he continued, I also heard that you are living in tents Everyone, youve suffered.
Not at all. This is what we should do.
Thats right. We dont feel wronged. In fact, we feel blessed.
Mr. King! You are our pride!
Hearing the welcoming cheers coming from all around him, Chen Yu made a 90-degree bow and said, Thank you for your hard work. You are my pride!
Several of the young female researchers standing on the periphery of the crowd felt empathetic to Chen Yus words, and they started clapping excitedly.
For a time, dense positive energy and patriotism filled the room.
While being surrounded by his enthusiastic compatriots, Chen Yu arrived at one of Japans underground shelters. Turning around, he said, Everyone, go back. Ill be checking the other countries to see if theyve made any violations.
After saying so, he walked straight into the basement.
Meanwhile, the person in charge of the Japanese research team, who had long since been waiting for Chen Yus arrival, quickly stepped forward and held Chen Yus hands. Greetings! Greetings! It is a great honor to see you!
No need to be too polite, Chen Yu said while nodding in a friendly manner. After entering the glass room, Chen Yu sighed and sincerely said, My friend, I am here this time to talk to you about the allocation of the shelters. Do you feel that giving you just two shelters is too few?
No, no! The lead researcher hurriedly shook his head. Its plenty! Two is not at all few!
Truth be told, I dont have a choice in this. Holding the lead researchers hand and lightly patting it, Chen Yu said, With so many countries, there simply arent enough shelters to go around. Initially, I planned to give four to Japan, but Oh, its hard for me to say it
It is already a great gift for you to allocate two to us! the lead researcher said excitedly.
Thank you for your hard work. If there are other benefits available in the future, Japan will definitely get a share.
Five minutes later.
Chen Yu appeared in Germanys shelter. After shaking hands with the person in charge, he sincerely said, I have always respected your country. Originally, I wanted to give you an additional spot, but regretfully, the conditions did not allow for it
Ten minutes later.
Appearing inside Koreas shelter, Chen Yu shook hands, sighed, and sincerely said, Korea is a land of gold, yet I have to trouble you to stay in a single shelter. I feel indignant for you. Thank you for your hard work
At 8:55 A.M., under the friendly, cordial, numbing, and adoring gazes of many researchers, Chen Yu flew into the sky and belched in content.
Being a leader truly is wonderful
After flying back into the control room, Chen Yu teleported to a familiar location in ThailandSi Racha.
When he stepped through the Interstellar Portal, he immediately saw Little Peach, who was holding onto a white box. Impatiently, Little Peach said, Mr. Chen, youre finally back. Its almost nine oclock! The livestream will be late!
Well make it. Slowly raising his wrist and taking a look at the time, Chen Yu gracefully said, You must be calm as a leader. The nobler a person is, the later they will show up.
Little Peach:
Chapter 171 - Interactive Livestream, Start!
Chapter 171 C Interactive Livestream, Start!
Time passed by second after second.
When his watch displayed 9 AM sharp, Chen Yu, who was leaning against a coconut tree, adjusted the camera angle, and started the livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, Youtube, Kuaishou, and Tiktok activation complete!]
As these texts flashed by, eager viewers swarmed in one after another.
4,816.
79,001.
1,663,022!
The total viewer count instantly broke past a million!
Without question, out of all live streamers in the world, his fans were definitely the most loyal.
[Ahhh! An interactive livestream! Its mine!]
[Screw off. The spot is mine.]
[I can finally see you again.]
[UP, youre awesome! Youre the ruler of the world!]
[Greetings, my lord.]
[Greetings, my lord. +1]
[Daddy, Im here! Look at me!]
[UP, you were awesome when you shaved that mountain!]
[Is the guy selling clips still here?]
[He died a tragic death. His car drifted and overturned, and his ashes were scattered all over the scene]
After silently waiting for 15 seconds, Chen Yu took a look at his watch and discovered that the total viewer count had exceeded two million already. Immediately, he said his opening remarks, Good morning, friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream. Thank you for giving me your support and waiting before your screens. Well then, lets not waste time with words and start todays review.
Turning around, Chen Yu grabbed the delivery box in Little Peachs arms and set it on the ground. He then said, We can do an unboxing for todays product, so well begin with the unboxing session.
Tear.
After removing the seal and opening the lid, Chen Yu reached into the box and pulled out a metal cube that resembled a drawer. After inspecting the product himself, he slowly turned the product around, revealing the logo at the front to the camera.
[Crap? Nintendo?!]
[A Nintendo product?]
[Did UP hook up with Nintendo?!]
[Ol Nintendo is awesome!]
[Looks very high-tech. Is it a gaming console from the future?]
[Is this a sell-out livestream?]
As this is an additional livestream, I cannot reveal the products manufacturer and production year. However, Im sure everyone can see the logo.
Thud.
Setting the metal cube down, Chen Yu clapped his hands and said, Thats it for the unboxing session. Now, let me give you a brief introduction to this product.
Its name is The Eager Squid Girl, and it is an augmented reality multiplayer combat game. It isnt a computer game or virtual reality game, but a game thats played in the real world!
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out one of the drawers. He then picked up a charging bodysuit and displayed it to the camera. After wearing this clothing, the players appearance will change into a randomized chibi character. Afterward, the player will engage other players wearing this clothing in combat.
To further simplify things, we can think of this bodysuit as a weapon, and you can play the game so long as you put it on. Meanwhile, although people that arent wearing the suit cant participate in the battle, they can still watch the players fight.
[This is awesome!]
[I can already tell its going to be fun just from hearing the explanation.]
[Crap! There are over two million viewers! Winning a slot is hopeless]
[If anybody in Liuzhou City gets selected, Ill offer five million yuan to buy up your slot. The neighboring Xian City is fine as well.]
[Buying a slot in Beijing. Offering 10 million.]
[Beijing for 8 million.]
[Beijing for 12 million]
Meanwhile, Little Peach, who stood behind Chen Yu, grew even more excited when she heard Chen Yus explanation. Immediately, she ran out of the cameras view and started stretching her limbs and moving the gears and springs in her body
I still dont know much about this product, so Ill have to stop my introduction here. After saying so, Chen Yu searched the delivery box and nodded, saying, Theres no instruction manual, either. Lets head straight to the next topic, which is live testing and reviewing the product.
Since this is a combat game, I naturally cannot play it alone. Hence, todays additional livestream will have an interactive session, and the following time will all belong to you.
As for the interactive events rules, Ive already stated them during the last additional livestream. Ive also published them on the announcement posts, so I wont detail the rules. Lets head straight into the drawing.
Firstly
Slowly raising his right hand, Chen Yu thoroughly stirred the emotions inside the livestream rooms. Well start with the bullet comment group. Ill choose four people.
Now
Begin!
When Chen Yu swung his hand down, the five livestream rooms instantly went into an uproar!
[Its mine!]
[Me, me, me!]
[OHHHH]
[Are you toying with us? Choosing four out of two million?]
[What if.]
[What if]
[Hoo, hoo, hoo]
[Grandpa Gorrila: I think I overfed you all]
The tsunami of bullet comments grew increasingly intense. Currently, the screen of Chen Yus watch had blacked out due to all the comments.
After waiting for five minutes, Chen Yu opened his mouth and said, Stop! The bullet comment groups selection is complete. Now, Ill start reading the list.
Bilibili, ID Past Memories.
Kuaishou, ID I Am Your Father Reading up to this point, Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the camera. I am removing the qualifications of this ID. Everyone, please show some respect to the internet civilization. Ill choose another person from the same platform. ID Ones Origin.
TikTok, ID Big Brothers Little Lunatic.
Youtube, ID: LiYi.
Lowering his watch, Chen Yu continued, The four viewers mentioned above, I have already given you rights to privately message me. You have one minute to send me your address.
[Hahaha! Serves you right for using stupid usernames!]
[Thats a one-in-a-million opportunity! That guy must want to kill himself.]
[I didnt get selected again, as expected. :)]
[There will be more and more people watching in the future. Theres no chance to join the interactive events at all]
Next is the donation group. Ill give you all two minutes to donate.
Looking at his watch, Chen Yu raised two fingers and said, This is your last two minutes.
[Notice: Nintendo has sent 40000x Super Rockets]
[Notice: Sony Technology has sent 32000x Super Rockets]
[Notice: NASA has sent 88888x Super Rockets]
[Notice: Iceland Mutual Aid Foundation has sent 24400x Super Rockets]
After experiencing the last interactive event, many wealthy people had learned their lesson. They understood that the money they possessed was nothing in the eyes of Transdimensional Reviews channel. Hence, they stopped throwing away their money.
Snap!
After two minutes, Chen Yu snapped his fingers and said, Stop! Times up. Ill start reading the IDs, so get ready.
Bilibili Revealing an evil smirk, Chen Yu glanced at the Nintendo logo before declaring, Sony Technology!
Youtube, Disney.
Kuaishou, Turing Jury.
DouYu, Huabai Bank.
After calling out the last ID, Chen Yu looked toward the camera and said, The winners mentioned above, please send me your addresses as soon as possible, and get ready to participate in the event.

F*ck!
F*ck!
The person-in-charge here cursed in Chinese, F*ck his grandfather!

F*ck!
F*ck his grandfather!
Chapter 172 - Battle in Shanghai!
Chapter 172 C Battle in Beijing!
In the sunny Si Racha, Chen Yu stood before the Interstellar Portal. Swiping his finger across his watch, he entered the private message interface.
First, the bullet comment groups Past Memories.
Extending his hand toward the Interstellar Portals interface, he established a spatial link to the given address.
The next moment, space warped, and a hall with a broken ceiling appeared in the portal.
Poking his head through the portal, Chen Yu looked around before asking, Huh? Wheres the guy?
Over here. A middle-aged man in a white shirt trotted forward. After arriving before Chen Yu, he pushed against his glasses as he suppressed his excitement. Hello, hello, Im Past Memories.
Your house is broken, Chen Yu said as he pointed at the ceiling the metal arch was poking through. Will it be a problem?
I-Its fine
Come on over, then, Chen Yu said as he hooked his finger at the middle-aged man. He then faced the camera and sternly said, Ill use this opportunity to say it now, but please do not set your address to be inside your house unless your ceiling is over five meters high. Otherwise, its going to get destroyed by the portals appearance.
Well then, lets continue. Next up is Kuaishou platforms Ones Origin.
After Chen Yu successfully connected to the provided address, a young man excitedly leaped through the portal and hugged him while shouting, Amazing! Host, youre the ruler of the world!
Calm. Calm down.
Ahhh! I finally get to see you in person!
His patience growing thin, Chen Yu grabbed the young mans shoulders and pushed him away. He then sternly asked, Do you want me to replace you?
No! You cant! The youths eyes widened as he fervently shook his head.
Calm down, then.
OK!
Stand together with the other participant.
OK!
The youth hurriedly ran up to the middle-aged man and shook hands with the latter. He then looked toward the distant little peach, gulped, and approached her with his phone in hand.
P-Pretty Lady.
What? Little Peach turned toward the young man skeptically.
Youre my i-idol. Can you take a picture with me? the youth asked expectantly.
Straightening her mask, Little Peach tilted her head and asked, Whats an idol?
I-It means Ive always liked you.
You like me? Little Peach was surprised.
You cant like me! Little Peach interrupted the young mans words while also sending a punch at the latters chest.
Thump!
Pfft
The youth flew three meters across the air and landed on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth
When Chen Yu, who was manipulating the Interstellar Portal, heard the commotion and looked over, he couldnt help but be startled. What the? What are you doing?
H-He Abashedly stomping her foot, Little Peach pointed at the foaming youth and shouted, He tried to steal me from you!
Chen Yu:
After setting the camera to follow him, Chen Yu approached the youth. He then picked up the stick and poked the youth, asking, Hey, you still alive, brother?
Guh Uh
Hah Sighing, Chen Yu extended his hand and closed the youths eyelids. You were alive and healthy, so why did you have to provoke her?
Guh
Picking up the youth, Chen Yu approached the portal and established a spatial link to the entrance of Beijings Veteran Hospital. He then looked toward the camera and asked, Is there anybody in the hospital watching the stream? Please come and save him.
Shortly after Chen Yu said so, the Veteran Hospital entrance abruptly opened, and an emergency rescue team rushed out from the building. There were also many armed soldiers tagging along with the rescue team.
G-Greetings, Mr. King.
Hello. Ill leave him in your hands, Chen Yu said as he walked through the portal and placed the unconscious youth on the stretcher. He then asked, Hows his condition? Is he in danger?
After a middle-aged doctor inspected the youth for half a minute, the doctor shook his head.
Is he beyond saving? Chen Yu was surprised.
I mean, hes fine.
Are you a new arrival?
Thats right.
Im guessing youll last a year at most in this Veteran Hospital, Chen Yu complained. He then scanned around and hooked his finger at a healthy soldier. Brother, Im missing a person. Youll make up for it.
M-Me?! The soldier pointed at himself in disbelief.
Yes. Pass your gun to someone and come in.
While leading the stunned soldier toward the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu explained to the camera, One of the participants got injured, so I got a replacement. I hope everyone doesnt mind this little detail.
[Be reasonable! Shouldnt you choose from the bullet comment section if youre missing a person?]
[We wont get chosen anyway, so why waste time?]
[You actually let Sony participate in testing a Nintendo product. UP, youre really wild.]
[I wish to know what that guy said to the female assistant.]
[A one-hit kill. How pitiful, lolol.]
Three minutes later, the other two members of the bullet comment group also arrived on the scene. Chen Yu then started teleporting the donation groups participants.
First, Bilibilis Sony.
Once the spatial link was established, Sonys representative, dressed in a suit, walked through the portal and made a 90-degree bow to Chen Yu. It is a great honor! On behalf of Sony Technology, I thank you for choosing us.
Let me ask you a question. Picking up the metal console, Chen Yu pointed at the logo on it and asked, What do you think of your rivals product?
As if having prepared for this question beforehand, Sonys representative moderately answered, Nintendo is an excellent company. I hope to learn the advanced game concepts used in this console and contribute to the industrys development.
How boring. Cant you say something like Nintendo is trash, Sony is the best?
Y-You jest
Fine. Stand aside.
After chasing Sonys representative away, Chen Yu continued with teleporting Disneys, the Turing Jurys, and the Huabai Banks representatives.
Now, the bullet comment group, stand to my left; the donation group, stand to my right. Show your faces to our two million viewers.
Everyone immediately split into two groups.
Afterward, Chen Yu looked toward Little Peach and asked, Which group do you want to join?
This one! Little Peach pointed at the bullet comment group.
Why?
Because its closer to me. After saying so, Little Peach stepped toward the bullet comment group and eagerly asked, Can we start the game now?
Ill be in the donation group, then.
After joining the donation group, Chen Yu faced the camera and said, As everyone can see, the battle will be five versus five. The bullet comment group will face off against the donation group. Well evaluate the product in detail during the game.
Chen Yu bent down and pulled open 10 of the drawers on the metal cube after saying so. Taking the lead, he picked up a blue bodysuit and wore it.
Poof!
A puff of seemingly real white smoke exploded around Chen Yu. When the smoke dissipated, Chen Yu had become a chubby, big-headed chibi version of himself. There were also two blue guns hanging around his waist.
How cute! Little Peach cried out in surprise. Immediately, she stepped forward to grab a blue bodysuit as well.
Wrong. Youre in the bullet comment group. Put on the red one.
Oh. Little Peach grabbed a red bodysuit and swiftly put it on.
Poof!
White smoke similarly exploded from the red bodysuit. When the smoke dissipated, Little Peach had transformed into a big-headed chibi character wearing a red cheongsam. Meanwhile, her weapon was a red submachine gun.
[How cute!]
[This old mans heart just exploded.]
[What scientific principles does this console operate on? Any experts care to explain?]
[It should still be a virtual projection. The players real body is still there, but their appearance has been modified using light.]
[Surely, theres more than that.]
[This is so interesting! Future people really know how to have fun.]
Raising the submachine gun, Little Peach pointed the nozzle at the sky and pulled the trigger.
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Three streaks of red paint shot out of the nozzle and arced across the air before landing on the ground with a splatter.
Haha! This is fun! Little Peach jumped up in excitement. She then aimed her gun at Chen Yu.
Dont! Were opponents. Ill die if you fire. Chen Yu hurriedly stopped Little Peach. He then tried touching his own body and the red paint on the ground, discovering that both felt real to the touch.
This game isquite something.
Taking a step back, Chen Yu pointed at the remaining eight drawers and said, Start putting on the suit. One each. Well start the game once youre done.
Hearing this, the eight participants immediately stepped forward.
The bullet comment groups four participants put on their bodysuits as soon as they grabbed them. In contrast, the donation groups four participants only put theirs on after carefully observing the clothing for a while.
Poof!
Poof, poof, poof
As the white smoke dissipated, all 10 people present had transformed into chibi versions of themselves. The scene looked very much like something found in anime and manga
Now that everyones geared up, lets choose the venue and start a paint war!
Five minutes later, in Chinas Beijing
In a pedestrian street with high foot traffic, a five-meter-tall and three-meter-wide metal arch suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Immediately afterward, under the stunned gaze of many passersby, animated characters started running out of the arch one after another
Chapter 173 - Shanghai Battle (1)
Chapter 173 C Shanghai Battle (1)
Shanghai, in a certain pedestrian street
Whoosh.
Whoosh, whoosh
Animated characters with large heads and chubby bodies ran out of the Interstellar Portal one after another, causing panic and confusion among the surrounding pedestrians.
Among these pedestrians, some of the more timid ones had promptly fled from the scene. In contrast, the more courageous ones remained to observe. However, after most of the fleeing people had run a distance, they started pulling out their phones and recording the animated characters.
To prevent anyone from running through the portal, once Chen Yu saw that all participants had crossed the portal, he promptly disconnected the spatial link. Facing the camera, he said, Through a democratic discussion, we have chosen Shanghai as the confrontation location. All viewers living in Shanghai are welcome to spectate. Since this is an interactive event, those that arent chosen may come here directly to join.
[Discussion my ass. You mean up to your decision, right?]
[Is it really fine to host the fight in Shanghai?]
[Hes not wearing the T-rex armor. There are also not many people present to see them.]
[Crap! My house is just nearby! Im going now!]
[Those nearby quickly head over. The police are definitely going to seal off the area in a moment.]
[I just boarded a train at Inner Mongolia. Ill be there right away.]
[Why not in Beijing?!]
Standing straight, Chen Yu scanned the surrounding pedestrians before ignoring them. He then received the metal cube Little Peach handed him, placed it on the ground, and pressed down on the shiny power button.
Buzz!
A virtual screen appeared above the metal cube.
As you can see, there are three game modes: Conquest, Siege, and Competition.
When Chen Yu tapped his finger on the Conquest button, a series of instructions appeared on the screen.
The rules are simple. In Conquest mode, players will have to cover up to an area of 10,000 square meters in their respective colored paint for 10 minutes. When the time limit is reached, the team that has covered a larger area in paint wins. In this mode, players killed will respawn 30 seconds later.
When the distant pedestrians saw that Chen Yus group didnt pose any danger to them, they started approaching the group step by step. The fear and panic on their faces also slowly turned into curiosity.
As for the other two modes, well talk about them later. Now, lets start the Conquest mode.
After saying so, Chen Yu pressed on the Confirm option.
Boom!
The next moment, a loud thunder suddenly came from above!
When everyone looked up, they discovered that two clouds had suddenly appeared 50 meters up in the air, and the two clouds formed the number 10.
Following which, four walls of light appeared 100 meters away from the metal cubes front, back, left, and right. The walls joined together to enclose a 10,000 square meter area.
Excellent. Now, everyone spread out. This square area will be the battlefield. Whichever team covers the most area in their respective paint 10 minutes later, wins, Chen Yu said. He then turned toward the donation groups four dazed members and continued, The team that wins will obtain an unknown prize.
Let the Squid Girl Battle begin!
Boom!
The two clouds in the air exploded, transforming from the number 10 to 9.
Boom!
9 changed to 8.
Boom!
8 changed to 7.
Meanwhile, the pedestrians watching this scene gaped in shock, their minds falling into disarray.
[Im arriving soon! Dont start yet!]
[What a spectacle]
[What a fantastic game. I want to play too.]
[FFFFF.]
[Whats the prize?]
[Maybe its the female assistant.]
Boom!
Boom!
1
At this time, many of the ignorant bystanders standing inside the enclosed area had a bad premonition. Immediately, they turned around and fled. At the same time, though, many excited people outside tried to charge into the enclosure.
Boom!
Conquest, start!
As the clouds in the sky exploded once more, the 10 participants pulled their respective triggers without hesitation.
Takka Takka Takka
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Under the stunned gazes of the surrounding spectators, numerous jets of paint shot into the air and splattered on the ground.
Hahaha! Little Peach felt incomparable excitement. While pulling tightly on her submachine guns trigger, she dashed straight for Chen Yu.
In response, Chen Yu unholstered his twin pistols and readied himself. As soon as Little Peach ran within 10 meters of him, he commanded, Down her!
Takka! Takka!
Takka! Takka! Takka!
The donation groups five members simultaneously launched a carpet of blue paint that drowned Little Peach.
Boom!
Little Peachs laughter abruptly stopped, and her animated characters body exploded into a burst of red paint that covered the sky. Many of the surrounding spectators ended up having their faces covered in the red paint.
Ahhh!
Run!
Chaos fell over the pedestrian street. Almost everyone that did not know about Transdimensional Reviews existence scattered in a panic.
After eliminating Little Peach, Chen Yu gathered his team members and started a pre-war meeting. In Conquest mode, victory goes to the side that covered the most area in paint, so our priority should still be spraying paint at the ground. Killing people is secondary. What weapons do you guys have?
Sonys representative: I have a submachine gun.
Disneys representative: I have an Italian Artillery.
Turing Awards representative: I have a sniper rifle.
Banks representative: I have a paint roller.
Hearing this, Chen Yu turned to look at the bank representatives larger paint roller. After pondering for a moment, he held his forehead and said, That means you cant do anything aside from painting the ground. Push the roller while youre moving! First, well cover the area around us in paint. Afterward, well cover the other sides area.
Okay.
The bank representative nodded. He then set his paint roller on the ground and worked his animated legs.
M-Mr. King, look at this, Turings representative said as he handed a hand grenade to Chen Yu.
A grenade? Where did you get it?
I think I received it after killing the female assistant.
You get grenades for killing people? Chen Yus eyes glow as an idea appeared in his mind. After accepting the grenade, he pulled the pin and tossed it forward.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud boom, blue paint burst out of the grenade and covered a 20-meter radius.
Whats the point of painting, then? Raising his two pistols, Chen yu charged forward while yelling, Kill them!
In response, Disneys representative pushed his Italian Artillery forward. He then stretched out his thumb and pretended to take aim before firing the cannon!
Boom!
A large bundle of paint shot into the air. And as the ball paint landed on the ground, it splattered and covered a large area.
Meanwhile, the Turing Awards representative retreated by 10 steps. He then raised his sniper rifle, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh
A line of blue paint shot across the battlefield and instantly pierced through the chest of a young man. Similar to Little Peach, the young mans body transformed into red paint and exploded.
Spread out! Everyone spread out!
The bullet comment group had lost two members as soon as the battle began. Only the young soldier was able to adapt to the situation and take command of the group. While retaliating with the assault rifle in his hands, he also commanded the surviving members to split up.
Oh my god! A foreign tourist, who had sought shelter inside a coffee shop, gaped in shock as he looked at the battlefield that had paint flying all around. Am I dreaming?!
As soon as this tourist said so, LiYi, a foreign player belonging to the bullet comment group, dashed into the coffee shop. And amidst the terrified screams of the people inside the building, LiYi held up an RPG and fired a paint rocket.
Boom!
The whole coffee shop got covered in paint
After another 10 seconds went by, Little Peach finally revived amidst her allies paint.
After learning her lesson, she cleverly bypassed the enemy teams main fighting force and arrived behind the Turing Awards representative. She then kicked the latter into the air and fired her gun at him.
Takka, takka, takka
Before Turings representative could even ask for help, his body got pierced and exploded.
Immediately afterward, Little Peach also exploded.
The reason for this was because he had stepped on blue paint for too long and depleted her HP bar
Boom!
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Boom! Boom!
Boom
For a time, gunfire, explosions, and screams filled the pedestrian street.
The whole pedestrian street had also suddenly transformed into a world of red and blue
Chapter 174 - Shanghai Battle (2)
Chapter 174 C Shanghai Battle (2)
Shanghai, inside a 12-story western restaurant located in a certain pedestrian street, many diners were currently dining here in a refined manner.
What happened outside? Why is it so noisy? a lady complained as she picked up her napkin and wiped her mouth. I cant even hear the piano.
Miss Cheng, if you like Bachs Twelve Little Preludes No. 12, I can play it for you, a man in a suit said, smiling.
After taking a slice off her steak, the lady placed it into her mouth with misted eyes. Once she devoured the cut, she said, Mr. Zhang-
Boom!
Before the lady could finish speaking, the restaurants door suddenly opened. Three mysterious animated characters then ran into the building. The person leading the group was none other than Little Peach.
Paint this place!
Yes, sir!
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Boom
Amidst the dining guests confusion, Little Peachs group sent large blobs of red paint flying all over, thoroughly painting the entire restaurant in red.
Were done here! To the next building!
After issuing her command, Little Peach ran out of the restaurant together with her two underlings. As they exited the building, though, they just so happen to come across two of the donation groups members. Immediately, both sides engaged each other in brutal combat.
This
The man in the suit was dumbfounded as he looked at his female companion, who had been thoroughly dyed in red. What is going on here?
Meanwhile, after spitting out a mouthful of paint, the lady said with teary eyes, M-My dress
No problem. This paint looks like it disappears automatically.
B-But the paint on the steak isnt disappearing.
Hearing this, the mans complexion darkened. Smacking the table, the man yelled at the restaurants manager, What is going on here?! How can your restaurant allow a bunch of lunatics to enter and spray paint all over us?!
I This The manager was also caught off guard by the situation. Hurriedly, he ran over and cleared the table. Im sorry. Im truly sorry. We
Boom!
At this time, the restaurants entrance got kicked open once more. Disneys representative, who emerged victorious from the battle, then entered the building with his Italian Artillery. After scanning the red paint inside the building, he smirked and started firing.
Boom!
Boom!
The restaurants red interior was instantly dyed blue
However, before Disneys representative could turn around and leave, the assault rifle-wielding soldier from the bullet comment group charged into the building and took care of the representative. The soldier then frenziedly sprayed paint all over the restaurant.
The blue restaurant was dyed red once more
The diners:
The manager:
Meanwhile, on the pedestrian street
At this time, most of the ignorant masses had already dispersed from the area. In contrast, those in the know had come running over to participate in the interactive event. They stood on the sidelines, cheering excitedly.
There was even someone that hauled a loudspeaker over, using it to play Deja Vu as the battlefields background music.
Of the crowd gathered, a dozen or so people had formed groups that ran between the donation group and bullet comment group. They did so to experience the refreshing feeling of having paint sprayed all over their bodies.
UP! Youre the ruler of the world!
My lord! Shoot! Shoot me quickly!
Cover us in paint!
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu asked, Did you guys get addicted?
Takka, takka, takka
Despite his complaint, Chen Yu still raised his pistols and dyed these people in blue.
Ptui. Awesome!
After spitting out the harmless paint, the group dashed toward the red teams side of the battlefield.
Shoot us!
Blast us!
Haha
[This looks so damned fun.]
[Hahahaha]
[I want to play as well!]
[Crap! I cant get in anymore! They blocked off the area!]
[You can still enter through the sewer! Hurry!]
[I envy you people in Shanghai.]
[Thost taking photographs at the scene, make sure not to upload your photos online. Youll have your IP blocked.]
[Nintendo really is a genius. They actually managed to make such an exciting game.]
[Will it enter production next year?]
[More like a hundred years later! I need to stay healthy so that I can play it once before I die.]
As more paint continued covering the battlefield, the donation group, which launched a pre-emptive strike at the start of the battle, gradually expanded their advantage.
However, as more time passed, the youths among the bullet comment group discovered more and more secrets relating to the game. For example, they could submerge into allied paint, heal themselves up by having allies spray paint over them, and use their death paint to injure their enemies.
When the battle had reached its seventh minute, the scales of victory began reversing under the bullet comment groups struggles.
At this time, however, a daring short-haired girl in short jeans quietly snuck up to the metal console, pulled out one of the unopened drawers, and grabbed the green bodysuit inside. She then put the bodysuit on.
Poof!
As the smoke spread, the girl had also transformed into a chibi version of herself.
Huh? Hahaha!
Growing overjoyed, the girl raised her submachine gun and pulled the trigger.
Takka, takka, takka
Streaks of green paint shot out of the nozzle and dyed the other colored paints green.
Following this, the cloud timer in the sky reset to 10 minutes.
[A third side has joined the battle. Combat time extended.]
What the? Chen Yu was stunned. Subconsciously, he approached the girl and asked, How did you-
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Before Chen Yu could finish his question, the girl pulled the trigger without hesitation and shattered Chen Yu.
Yay(#^.^#)! The girl cheered. I killed the UP!
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators instantly went crazy and dashed forward.
The fastest and closest four people quickly snatched the remaining green bodysuits available and put them on.
Poof, poof, poof
After the white smoke dissipated, four more players joined the green team, completing the team.
Kill! The girls enlarged head flushed with excitement. She then charged into the battlefield while recklessly firing her submachine gun.
The four other people also started excitedly spraying paint all over
Crap! I almost got one!
I was so close to falling into the abyss of happiness
The viewers that arrived late grew so frustrated that they wished to kill themselves.
[How bold! Arent they afraid that the host will get angry?]
[Its an interactive event. Why would the host get angry if it improves the streams performance?]
[Getting to play the game once is worth dying for!]
[Ive been wondering whether its alright to steal the third groups bodysuit since a while ago.]
[The battlefield has become even more chaotic now]
Ding!
The elevator of a hotel opened, and a couple walked out of it while holding hands. When they saw the lobby covered in red and blue paint, they could not help but be shocked.
W-What is going on?
Are they renovating?
How can there be such a renovation?
Darling, Im scared. Is this a lunatics doing? The woman seized this opportunity and revealed a pitiful expression.
Dont be scared. The man cooperated with his partners act and hugged her. While caressing the womans head, he said, Even if theres a lunatic here, Ill protect you.
Youre the best, hubby!
In the next moment, someone abruptly kicked the lobbys glass doors open, and five crazed big-headed dolls ran into the lobby.
Here! Paint over everything!
Roar!
The five animated characters cheered and fired their weapons.
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Takka!
The lobby quickly became dyed in green.
The guests standing before the front desk had long since grown numb to this situation. After wiping off the green paint on their faces, they gently cursed, Goddammit.
The Elevator! Paint the elevator as well!
The girl on the green team commanded.
Takka, takka, takka
Boom!
Blobs of paint flew past the frail and pitiful couple one after another, exploding inside the elevator behind them.
Pull back!
After the five big-headed dolls left, the couple looked at each other in astonishment.
D-Darling, youre green.
Youre green as well
With the participation of a third force, the situation on the small battlefield became even more intense.
Red, blue, and green paint flew all over the place, dyeing the ground, walls, store lobbies, surrounding onlookers, and sewers in their respective colors. Even a few police helicopters that flew at a low altitude failed to escape the chaos
9
8
The cloud timer in the sky started counting down the last 10 seconds.
Seeing this, the three teams stopped holding back and started using up all their ammunition and stockpiled grenades. Some players even deliberately ran into enemy fire, taking advantage of their death explosions to cover a large area in paint.
Boom!
Boom!!
Suicide! Kill yourselves!
Boom, boom, boom
The battle instantly heated up.
1!
Conquest over!
Calculating results!
Chapter 175 - Great Wall Battle (1)
Chapter 175 C Great Wall Battle (1)
Conquest over!
Calculating results!
As the number displayed in the sky turned zero, the weapons in every participants hands lost effect and no longer released paint.
Its over?
While standing on an intersection formed by the three different colored paints, Little Peach looked at her submachine gun dazedly as she asked, It cant fire anymore?
After another two dozen seconds passed, Chen Yu resurrected. He then approached the metal cube, clapped his hands, and loudly said, All players gather at my location. Friends that are here to spectate, please spread out and make room
At Chen Yus words, the police officers standing guard outside the battlefield promptly moved in to maintain order.
Shortly afterward, all animated characters had gathered around Chen Yu.
Simultaneously, the donation groups members each pulled out a small tube from their pockets and collected samples of the paint for research.
You guys are quite bold, huh? Chen Yu said as he looked at the green teams five members.
Hehe The short-haired girl, who was the green teams first member, scratched her head awkwardly. It looked fun, so I couldnt help but join in. Im sorry.
As todays additional livestream was meant to be an interactive livestream, Chen Yu had no intention of troubling his fans. Extending his hand toward the virtual interface projected above the metal console, he chose to reveal the battle results.
Instantly, the clouds in the sky transformed into several lines of text.
Everyone present promptly looked up.
[Blue Teams occupied area: 18.3%]
[Red Teams occupied area: 22.1%]
[Green Teams occupied area: 14.7%]
[Empty area: 44.9%]
[WinnerRed Team!]
Ohhh! Little Peach jumped up in excitement. We won! Hahaha
Yes!
Hohoho!
Awesome!
The bullet comment groups members exchanged celebratory high-fives with each other.
Meanwhile, the background spectators also clapped in concert. Some bold ones even ran up to touch the participants round bodies.
[How envious.]
[Quickly start another round! I want to watch more!]
[Im making a pirated version at home. Whos interested in joining? The only difference is the paint smell is a little off.]
[Stop messing around! Paint is toxic!]
[Nintendos stock value just skyrocketed. This advertisement is a success.]
Along with the announcement of the matchs results, all paint within the 10,000-square-meter battlefield vanished as if it had never existed.
The donation groups four members momentarily stared at each other before they hurriedly pulled out their respective sample tubes. And sure enough, they found that the paint they collected had disappeared
King! Start another round! Little Peach pleaded as she hugged onto Chen Yus arm. Its so fun!
Playing comes later. As a review organization, evaluating the product is our biggest priority. Chen Yu rejected Little Peachs request to start another match. He then turned toward the green teams five members and said, Friends, take off your squid costumes.
Cant we play another match? Just one more! the short-haired girl pleaded.
No. Its time for the next phase of the review.
Fine The short-haired girl sighed in dejection as she removed her bodysuit.
Poof!
As the smoke scattered, the girl reverted to her original figure.
Chen Yu looked to the green teams four other members after accepting and storing the girls bodysuit back into the consoles drawer. Everyone, remove yours as well.
Poof Poof
After the large clump of smoke dissipated, the green teams five members reluctantly distanced themselves from the group. However, as they retreated, their eyes remained glued on the metal console, their eyes revealing their nostalgia.
After returning the green bodysuits into their respective drawers, Chen Yu faced the camera and said, Thats it for the Conquest modes review. Im sure everyone has gotten an understanding of the modes playstyle and how fun it is. If you can find some like-minded friends, The Eager Squid Girl is an ideal entertainment product!
[I know what youre trying to say. What I want to know is where I can buy one.]
[Youre posting pictures without the sauce]
[Youre only promoting the product without selling it. What kind of bastard are you?]
Meanwhile, after being instigated by the bullet comment groups other members, Little Peach ran up to Chen Yu and asked, King, wheres the reward you promised?
Reward? Oh, right. The reward. Realization dawned on Chen Yu. He then walked toward the bullet comment group, spread out his arms, and said, The winners get to take a photo with me.
The bullet comment groups four members:
Do you want it, or not?
Yes, yes, yes!
After taking a photograph together with the group, Chen Yu raised his pistols and continued, Now that weve reviewed the Conquest mode, well start reviewing the second game modeTower Pushing[1]! Lets read the instructions first.
After Chen Yu tapped his finger on the virtual interface, a series of instructions expanded on the screen.
Tower Pushing mode can only be played by two teams of 5 vs. 5. The game must take place in a long and narrow terrain, and each team will occupy one end of the selected area. Both teams will then spray paint to push the squid tower in the middle. Whichever team succeeds in pushing the squid tower to the opposing teams base will win. Players will also revive in this mode.
The games time limit is 10 minutes. If a victor isnt decided when the timer reaches zero, whichever side the squid tower is closer to will lose.
Thats it for the introduction. Lets not mention the last game mode for now and start the tower pushing game.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked toward the participants and continued, Well decide the battlefields venue through democratic voting. Everyone, start brainstorming. However, I have the right to veto your suggestions.
To the Forbidden City! the person with the ID of Past Memories suggested.
Rejected. There are too many people. Chen Yu waved his hand.
What about the square at Sony Corporations main headquarters? Sonys representative suggested, raising his hand.
Rejected. Thats an advertisement.
What about my companys barracks? the soldier suggested.
Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, Rejected.
The Pyramid?
Rejected.
The White House!
Rejected.
Clicking her tongue, Little Peach said, I reject your rejection!
Chen Yu: Rejected.
Everyone:
Doesnt anyone have a good suggestion? Shrugging, Chen Yu decided, Lets head to the Great Wall, then. The terrain there is very suitable. How about it?
Everyone: Rejected!
I reject your rejection.
Picking up the metal console, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and started establishing a spatial link. Since nobody has an opinion, through democratic voting, our battlefield will be the Great Wall! Fellow friends nearby, please dont follow us into the portal. I wont be responsible for any mishaps.
After saying so, Chen Yu hooked his finger at the camera and stepped through the portal.
The other participants also did not hesitate as they stepped through the portal in an orderly line.
As it was November, the Great Wall was currently in its offseason, and there werent many tourists here.
Hence, when the Interstellar Portal appeared out of thin air, it did not cause as much of a sensation as it did in Shanghais pedestrian street.
Thud.
After jumping out of the portal and stepping on solid ground, Chen Yu scanned his surroundings. He then shouted at the tourist group approaching from a distance, Dont come over! Its dangerous!
In reality, there wasnt a need for Chen Yu to give his warning. The tour group consisted mostly of middle-aged and elderly people. When they saw a bunch of strange creatures appearing out of thin air, they had promptly turned around and fled.
After seeing that the other nine people had crossed the portal, Chen Yu immediately disconnected the spatial link.
Excellent. Weve arrived at the Great Wall. Everyone knows the rules, so lets dispense with the nonsense and start right away.
After saying so, Chen Yu clicked Confirm without hesitation.
Boom!
A familiar loud noise appeared from above the group as the clouds displaying the number 10 appeared in the sky.
Afterward, a narrow wall of light enveloped a portion of the Great Wall, and a 10-meter-tall tower drilled out of the ground.
The tower had five floors, and sitting on top of the building was a giant squid waving its tentacles. However, the squid did not look ferocious at all. Instead, it looked rather cute.
Meanwhile, the members of the blue team and red team simultaneously drew their weapons and tacitly separated. As they stood on both sides of the tower, they patiently waited for the start of the next bloody battle.
Let the Squid Girl War begin!
Boom!
Along with Chen Yus declaration, the cloud pattern in the sky changed from 10 to 9
Chapter 176 - Great Wall Battle (2)
Chapter 176 C Great Wall Battle (2)
Boom!
Boom!
3
At this time, the bullet comment group and donation group were fully focused. Everyone was silently counting down in their hearts.
Meanwhile, the distant tourists dare not approach. In fact, they retreated further and further away from the battlefield.
[Female Assistant, good luck! Well support you forever!]
[Bullet Comment Group, fight! Show the Donation Group that money isnt everything!]
[The octopus is so cute.]
[Thats a squid.]
[Arent octopus and squid the same thing?]
[The game will be more lively with more players. Why not continue playing in Conquest mode?]
Boom!
As the clouds exploded for the final time, the players of both teams simultaneously fired their weapons at the tower.
Takka, takka, takka
Takka! Takka!
Whoosh Boom!
The color of the towers five floors rapidly switched between red and blue.
When the tower had more red paint on it, it would move toward the blue teams area.
When there was more red paint, the tower would move toward the red teams area.
Both sides firepower was evenly matched, and the tower pushing battle fell into a stalemate right off the bat.
Seeing this situation, an idea came to Chen Yus mind. While both sides were joyfully launching paint at the tower, he decisively circled around the building. He then fired his pistols at the bullet comment group.
Takka! Takka! Takka, takka, takka
Boom!!
The foreigner LiYi got struck by Chen Yus sneak attack and instantly exploded.
However, his explosion also dyed a large patch of the tower in paint. Immediately, the squid tower moved toward the donation groups base.
Meanwhile, by the time Little Peach had reacted to Chen Yus ambush and redirected her submachine gun, Chen Yu had already retreated to cover.
Didnt you guys want a present?
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out the grenade he just received, removed the pin, and tossed it across the tower.
Boom!!
Boom!
Boom!
A massive explosion of blue paint instantly killed two red team members who failed to react in time.
Hehe, we won.
Pressing the attack, Chen Yu pulled out two more grenades, arming them, and tossing them over to the enemy team.
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!
When the two grenades exploded, not only did they successfully kill a red member, but they had also covered the squid tower in blue paint. As a result, the tower changed directions and started moving toward the bullet comment groups base.
Thats one more dead.
Chen Yu pulled out another grenade and armed it. However, just as he was about to toss it, a figure suddenly leaped up from the wall beside him, and the assault rifle in the intruders hands fiercely sprayed paint all over him.
This person was none other than the soldier Chen Yu had recruited on the fly!
Takka! Takka! Takka! Takka!
Chen Yu, who took the brunt of the attack, exploded directly. A moment later, Sonys representative and Turings representative, who had reacted a tad bit too slowly, also exploded.
However, the soldiers reign did not last long. Using his three fallen allies death explosion as cover, the bank representative charged forward and smashed his paint roller on the soldiers head.
Smack!
Ah!
The soldier let out a cry as he lost his balance and fell off the wall.
Hurriedly, the bank representative ran forward and looked over the wall, only to discover that the soldier had already exploded into a bundle of paint after falling onto the cliff below.
Huh?
Looking at his giant paint roller, the bank representatives eyes glowed as he realized the correct way to use his weapon.
Licking his lips, the bank representative lifted his paint roller and charged across the tower. Demaci-Ah!
Bang!
However, as soon as he revealed himself, he immediately exploded due to Little Peachs paint.
Thats four. One to go
After making a quick calculation with her fingers, Little Peach bent her knees and jumped onto the tower. After quickly arriving at the top, she stared down and found Disneys representative in the midst of fiddling with his Italian Artillery.
Bye-bye!
After taking aim, Little Peach happily pulled the trigger on the representative.
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Boom!
After a burst of blue paint, Little Peach was the only player remaining on the battlefield.
[Crap! Their strategy is wonderful!]
[That soldier is so awesome. He actually climbed over the wall.]
[The bullet comment group won!]
[The female assistant is impressive!]
[I hope the female assistant can fall head-down.]
[Old driver, lololol.]
[I want to see it as well.]
I won!
Little Peach cheered as she stood atop the tower. Just as she was about to jump down and continue firing paint at the tower, she noticed that the squid underneath her feet was actually staring at her.
Little Peach blinked her eyes.
The squid also blinked its eyes.
Pointing her submachine gun at the squid, Little Peach asked, What are you looking at?
Seemingly enraged, the squid extended its tentacles and grabbed Little Peachs feet
Uu! What are you trying to do?!
Before Little Peach could put up a struggle, the squid swung her over a dozen meters into the air before falling on the cliff below the Great Wall. After her body rolled and smashed against the cliff several times, she exploded into a bundle of paint.
After another dozen or so seconds passed, Chen Yu finally revived at his teams base. Looking at his two teammates that just revived as well, he said, You two, take care of the frontlines. Leave ambushing the enemy team to me. Also, pay attention to your sides. Dont let that soldier ambush us again.
Understood.
No problem.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Yu exercised his joints before holstering his pistols. He then dashed forward like the wind, his speed easily surpassing 10 meters per second.
When he arrived before the tower, he turned and jumped off the Great Wall before grabbing onto the battlements. Relying on his waist and arms explosive power, he rapidly climbed meter by meter toward the bullet comment group.
[What kind of skill is this?]
[Didnt he run faster than Usain Bolt just now?]
[I already said UP was an alien!]
[The alien theory is confirmed now.]
[He might be Superman as well.]
[Hes using cheats now that hes losing.]
[My husband is super handsome!]
[Is it the protective suits doing? After all, hes wearing the protective suit right now.]
[The protective suit doesnt accelerate his running speed. He also isnt flying right now.]
[Smith Barney Paint uses the same paint as the Squid Girl! It reduces formaldehyde by 70%! All major stores sell it!]
[This ad is a little bold]
After Chen Yu felt that he had climbed a suitable distance, he pulled himself up the battlements. His feet then pushed against the battlements, sending him flying into the air.
While in mid-air, Chen Yu gazed down at the three players standing in the bullet comment groups base. He then quickly drew his guns and pulled the trigger!
Takka! Takka!
Boom!
Takka! Takka!
Boom!
Takka!
Boom!
Accompanied by three bursts of red paint, Chen Yu jumped from one side of the Great Wall to the other, his elegant performance making it seem like a master of gun-fu.
Focus on painting the tower! Ill kill the enemies!
Chen Yu shouted before dashing into the bullet comment groups base. He planned to thoroughly block his opponents inside their base and support his teammates in pushing the tower. That way, he would leave an image of a brave and intelligent leader in the minds of his two million viewers
At this time, Little Peach had finally resurrected. Seeing Chen Yu rushing toward her, her eyes immediately lit up with a red glow as both her computing chips started operating simultaneously.
Takka! Takka! Takka!
After advancing by another five meters, Chen Yu raised his pistols and pulled the trigger, sending two jets of paint flying at Little Peach.
Speed is 47 meters per second, range is 70 meters, declination angle is 15㡭
After completing her high-speed calculations, Little Peach side-stepped left and right to evade both shots of paint. She then raised her submachine gun and started her counterattack.
Seeing this, Chen Yu submerged into the blue paint, transforming into a squid and rapidly retreating.
You wont get away!
Following suit, Little Peach jumped into the red paint and chased after Chen Yu.
As Chen Yu was on the bullet comment groups territory, minimal areas were covered in blue paint. After diving around for a while, Chen Yu had no choice but to resurface and retaliate with his guns.
Hey! Im here!
Little Peach suddenly emerged from behind Chen Yu. Instead of firing her gun, however, she tossed it away and pounced on Chen Yu.
Hearing the sound of wind coming from behind him, Chen Yu executed a roundhouse kick without hesitation.
Boom!
Little Peach blocked the kick with her right hand and grabbed Chen Yus feet with her left hand. She then pushed Chen Yu onto the ground and rode on his body. I finally have you underneath me!
Chen Yu:
Do you submit?
Submit my ass!
Sneering, Chen Yu pulled out a grenade and detonated it!
Chapter 177 - Additional Livestream Ends (1)
Chapter 177 C Additional Livestream Ends (1)
Do you surrender? Little Peach asked gleefully.
Surrender my ass!
Sneering, Chen Yu pulled out a grenade and armed it!
Boom!!
Boom!
The explosion of blue paint instantly shredded Little Peach.
Fool. How can you hold back on a battlefield?
Chen Yu mocked as he stood up. However, immediately afterward, the muzzle of a gun poked the back of his head.
I surrender! Chen Yu hurriedly raised his hands.
How can you hold back on a battlefield?
Chen Yu:
Bang!
Boom!
A jet of paint pierced through Chen Yus head, giving him a painless detonation.
Meanwhile, after dodging the paint explosion, the soldier blew at the non-existent smoke coming out of his rifles muzzle. He then charged straight to the frontlines.
[Am I watching an action movie?]
[Im shocked!]
[Their talents are wasted playing with paint.]
[The female assistant is a little fierce. I wonder how shell behave once she marries into my house.]
[What nonsense are you spouting? Even if shes going to marry, shell be marrying me. I have life insurance.]
[What? The host went to the Great Wall? Its even closer now! My train just set out from Inner Mongolia]
The intensity of the tower pushing game continued to escalate.
However, aside from Chen Yu, the donation groups members were all old and sickly. As a result, they gradually got pushed back by the bullet comment groups coordinated assault.
When only four minutes were left in the match, everyone in the bullet comment group handed their grenades to Little Peach, granting her overwhelming firepower. In the end, she thoroughly suppressed the donation group, preventing them from exiting their base until the end of the match.
Buzz Boom!
When the squid tower arrived at the donation groups base, it abruptly exploded into a burst of red paint.
Meanwhile, the red paint scattered on the ground to form the following words:
[Red Teams Victory!]
Ohhh!
Little Peach and her teammates immediately cheered and raised their fists into the air in celebration.
Thirty seconds later, Chen Yu revived and looked at the four organization representatives around him. Sighing, he said, Uncles, stop trolling, okay? Are you guys putting on a show?! We lost twice already!
Raising his submachine gun, Sonys representative said, I lack firepower.
Patting his Italian Artillery, Disneys representative said, My range is lacking.
Raising his sniper rifle, Turing Awards representative said, My firing speed is no good.
As for the bank representative, after remaining silent for a moment, he raised his paint roller and said, I cant do anything.
Holstering his pistols, Chen Yu waved his hands and gathered everyone before the Interstellar Portal. He then faced the camera and said, Compared to the Conquest mode, the Tower Pushing mode is much more intense. The battles pace is also much faster, and the requirement toward strategy and coordination is much greater. It is much more suited for professional players. Well then, thats it for the Tower Pushing modes review. Next, well test out the last modethe Competition mode.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked at the players around him. Does anyone have any suggestions for the final location? Lets brainstorm.
Everyone:
Lets go to the Birds Nest, then. Does anyone have any objections?[1]
Everyone:
Since nobody has any objections, were heading to the Birds Nest.
[Forced to have no opinions.]
[Isnt the Birds Nest being in use right now?]
[I think the Sing! China championship is being held right now]
[Doesnt it start at night?]
[Many people are rehearsing right now. I know because Im at the scene]
[Hes going to cause another mess?!]
Taking off his protective suits glove, Chen Yu looked at the bullet comments and time displayed on his watch. Its getting late. Well speed things up and try to complete the last review in 20 minutes.
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly stepped through the portal.
Beijing, inside the conference room of the special situation teams office
The middle-aged team leader covered his face in exhaustion when he heard Chen Yus declaration. Please stop messing around just for a better performance Do you know how tired we are?
Big Sis Wu, who stood beside the middle-aged team leader, hesitated slightly before saying, L-Leader, theyre heading to the Birds Nest. Lets start evacuating the crowd now.
Seal the entrance and prevent anyone from entering. That place should have quite a few reporters. Detain all of them.
Understood.
Pulling out his pill box, the middle-aged team leader took two pills before standing up and saying, Prepare the helicopter. Im going to the scene. There are some things I need to discuss in person.
Understood
Birds Nest:
A female singer was currently performing her pre-match rehearsal on an exquisitely decorated stage. From time to time, she would also politely apologize to the band members behind her and revised her song arrangement.
Meanwhile, the event planner was currently arguing with the event director over differing opinions at the back of the stage. Both men similarly sported balding heads.
D-Director At this time, a young man approached the director while holding onto his phone. He then nervously interrupted
Review? What is that? The director turned around in irritation. Is it a media agency? Were not accepting interviews right now.
N-Not the media. Its an evaluation agency.
An evaluation agency? The director frowned. Is it the governments censorship department? Weve cleared things up with the higher-ups. Why are they still here? Is it related to firefighting?
No, no! The young man repeatedly shook his head. He then handed his phone to the director and said, Its an independent media that reviews advanced technology
When the director heard the words independent media, his complexion immediately darkened. Pushing the young man away, he said, Why are you bringing up a useless independent media with me? Cant you see Im busy?
T-Thats not it, director
Nobody without a brand is allowed to enter. Chase all of them away.
Y-You cant chase him away In a daze, the young man stretched out his finger and pointed at the stage. Hes here
The planner and director subconsciously looked in the young mans fingers direction, and their mouths gradually widened.
A five-meter-tall metal arch had suddenly appeared on the stage out of thin air. And as the arch materialized, it also shattered two of the chandeliers on the stage roof.
In the next moment, under the horrified gazes of the staff members and media, big-headed animated characters wielding weapons jumped out of the arch one after another.
My dear audience, we have arrived at the Birds Nest. It also seems that someone prepared a stage for us. Wonderful. It is very suitable for a gun battle
After making some brief introductions to the camera, Chen Yu turned toward the female singer standing dazedly in the middle of the stage. Waving his hand at her, he said, You over there, please step down. We will be using this stage temporarily, so stay away.
The female singer:
Boom!
The female singer lost her grip over her microphone out of anxiety, letting it fall to the ground with a muffled noise. The singer then ran away in horror, pushing her long legs to their limits.
Meanwhile, the loud noise also awakened everyone present from their daze.
Immediately afterward, chaos ensued as the ignorant fled and screamed in panic. At the same time, those in the know ran forward and cheered in excitement.
After taking a few steps forward, Chen Yu bent down and picked up the dropped microphone.
Boom Boom
Hello? Hello? Good, it works.
After putting back on his glove, Chen Yu faced the microphone and asked, Is there anyone here that recognizes me?
Yes!
Over here!
Daddy! Im here!
My lord!
In response to Chen Yus question, excited replies came from the front of the stage one after another, the reaction confusing the ignorant masses.
Are there any lighting technicians present? Please help light up the stage.
I know how! a young man wearing a sun hat shouted in excitement.
Go backstage and help me turn on the lights, then. Thank you very much.
UP, c-can I take a photo with you?
Sure.
Awesome! The young man shook his fists in excitement. He then pulled out his phone with trembling hands, hugged Chen Yus spherical waist, and took a group photo.
UP! Youre the ruler of the world!
The young man gave Chen Yu a bear hug while shouting the special slogan of a superfan. He then ran backstage and manipulated the lights.
Snap!
Ten projection lights quickly focused on the center of the stage, thoroughly illuminating Chen Yus animated body.
Now, let the Competition mode
Officially begin!
Chapter 178 - Additional Livestream Ends (2)
Chapter 178 C Additional Livestream Ends (2)
Similar to the Tower Pushing mode, the Competition mode can only have two teams of five. The rulers are even simpler. Each team will send one player to fight each other, and the first team to secure three victories wins.
After briefly explaining the rules, Chen Yu pressed the Confirm option and started the match.
In the next moment, a circular wall of light enveloped most of the stage. There were also two openings in the wall. The openings were located on the left and right sides of the stage, and they allowed players to enter the ring.
You guys, go over there, Chen Yu said as he waved the bullet comment group to the other side. He then started a discussion with his teammates. Lets discuss the order. Who will go first?
My weapons firepower is greater, and my artillery shells can cover large areas in paint. I can create a favorable terrain for the rest of you, so let me be the first one! Disneys representative recommended himself.
Okay. Chen Yu nodded. Go on, then. I hope you give us a good start.
No problem.
While tugging along his Italian Artillery, Disneys representative bravely entered the ring.
On the other side, the bullet comment group was also discussing the order of participation.
The first to secure three victories wins, so the opening fight is critical. Let me be the first to fight, the soldier suggested as he raised his hand.
Let me! Little Peach eagerly said. I can beat all five of them!
Youre our mainstay, so you need to bring up the rear for us. Calmly making up a lie, the soldier said, Look at Mr. King. He didnt enter the ring first either, right? The strongest player should go last.
Oh! As Little Peach looked toward Chen Yu, realization struck her. I understand. I need to bring up the rear!
Ill go first, then.
When the soldier and Disneys representative were both inside the ring, the walls openings disappeared.
Immediately afterward, the number 3 was projected on the ground in white light.
1!
Lets end this. Sneering, Disneys representative aimed his artillery at his opponent and ignited the fuse. Countdown from three
Meanwhile, the soldier calmly raised his rifle and pulled the trigger.
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Boom!
Disneys representative instantly exploded into blue paint that scattered across the ground
Chen Yu:
The surrounding onlookers:
[]
[What a fierce battle!]
[What a handicap!]
[Damned idiot.]
[Hahahaha]
Thirty seconds later, Disneys representative revived. Shaking his head regretfully, he said, The opponent is too strong.
Its you whos too damned weak! Chen Yu bellowed.
Let me be the second batter, Sonys representative sternly said as he raised his hand. Ive practiced Judo, so I have some fighting experience. I also work in the game industry, so I have a deep understanding of games. The reason for Disneys failure is because of his slow fire rate. In contrast, my submachine gun has the fastest fire rate. I have a great advantage.
Are yousure?
Leave it to me!
Sonys representative firmly walked into the ring while wielding his submachine gun.
The openings closed, and the timer appeared on the ground once more.
1!
Takka! Takka! Takka!
The instant the timer struck zero, Sonys representative immediately pulled the trigger and shot stream after stream of paint across the ring!
In response, the soldier agilely dodged the oncoming paint and returned fire.
Takka! Takka!
Boom!
Sonys representative exploded without hesitation
Chen Yu held his forehead in agony.
Yeah! We won again!
Little Peach and the other bullet comment group members cheered.
Thirty seconds later, Sonys representative revived and regretfully shook his head. I was so close.
Chen Yu: Close my ass!
It seems Ill have to salvage the third match for us, the bank representative said as he stepped up with his paint roller. I struck him down at the Great Wall just now. I might very well be his counter. Mr. King, let me.
After saying so, the bank representative immediately started walking toward the ring, only to get dragged back by Chen Yu.
Uncle, its a best-of-five. We already lost two matches. You should just sit down and wait.
Unholstering his two pistols, Chen Yu entered the ring and stared at his opponent.
1!
The soldier swiftly raised his gun, aimed it at Chen Yu, and fired.
Whoosh!
However, Chen Yu cunningly submerged into the blue paint on the ground, transformed into a squid, and disappeared.
Although his previous two teammates had croaked as soon as their matches began, their death explosions had created a favorable terrain for Chen Yu to utilize his abilities.
The soldier knew that Chen Yu was approaching him, so he retreated without hesitation. At the same time, he also continuously fired his gun to cover the blue paint on the battlefield in red.
Splash!
Three seconds later, Chen Yu abruptly burst out from the leftmost side of the ring. And like a martial arts master, he ran along the light wall and dashed toward the soldier.
Bang! Bang!
The soldier quickly responded to the attack and threw himself onto the ground, dodging the two blue paint shots. When he stood back up to retaliate, however, Chen Yu had long since disappeared.
Hey! Behind you! Little Peach suddenly shouted from outside the wall. Turn around!
Startled, the soldier sent an elbow strike smashing backward.
Bang!
However, Chen Yu easily caught the soldiers elbow and clamped down on it like a steel vice, effectively immobilizing his opponent.
Impossible!
Shock colored the soldiers face.
Instead of spouting nonsense, Chen Yu kicked the soldier into the air and fired his pistols at him.
Boom!
A burst of red paint scattered through the air. Under the illumination of the many stage lights, the sight looked especially festive.
[Is the host a professional fighter?]
[His skills are too damned good.]
[It feels like Im watching a movie.]
[Whats all this fuss about? If I take the ring, the host will be kneeling down and crying in 30 seconds.]
[You mean he accidentally died to you?]
[I feel uncomfortable not being able to complain.]
After easily taking care of his opponent, Chen Yu hooked his finger at Little Peach and said, You, come here!
Seeing this, Little Peach naturally did not hesitate to respond. Immediately, she eagerly ran into the ring. You cheated by using a bomb to kill me last time. Lets have a fair competition this time and see whos stronger!
Chen Yu didnt even bother to respond to Little Peachs words. Instead, he quietly sat on some blue paint and waited for the match to start.
1!
However, when the timer reached zero, and Little Peach was about to fire her submachine gun, Chen Yu suddenly said, Wait a minute.
Hmm? Puzzled, Little Peach asked, What is it?
Theres nothing new about this competitive gameplay. Lets play something new.
Hearing the word play, Little Peach immediately grew excited. How are we going to play?
Come over here.
Okay.
Little Peach obediently walked over. Chen Yu then passed one of his pistols to Little Peach and said, Lets change guns. Youll shoot me with the blue gun, and Ill shoot you with the red gun.
Doesnt that mean we cant kill each other?
Thats why its interesting. Lets see what happens. If it looks boring, well just exchange weapons again.
Okay! Little Peach didnt put too much thought into the matter. After handing Chen Yu her submachine gun, she accepted the blue pistol Chen Yu passed her.
Lets start now.
With the blue pistol in his left hand and the red submachine gun in his right hand, Chen Yu took aim at Little Peach.
Okay!
Little Peach raised her blue pistol and aimed it at Chen Yu.
Ill count down from three, and well shoot together. Standing up, Chen Yu took a few steps back before counting, Three, two, one! Fire!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Little Peach instantly exploded
And people are worried something like this will take over the world?
Chen Yu rolled his eyes.
Thirty seconds later, Little Peach revived and confusedly asked, Huh? Did I die?
The bullet comment groups members:
Chapter 179 - Antimatter Battery
Chapter 179 C Antimatter Battery
After the bullet comment group lost their two expertsthe soldier and Little Peachthe three remaining commonfolk naturally werent a match for Chen Yu.
In the end, the donation group easily secured the victory of the competition.
However, aside from Little Peach, the players of both sides didnt particularly care about the competitions outcome.
Approaching the metal console, Chen Yu removed his bodysuit and returned to his original form. He then gathered the other players, The games over. Everyone, remove your suits.
Cant we play another round? Little Peach pleaded as she extended a finger. Ill win next time.
All the more reason to stop playing. Chen Yu stepped forward and removed Little Peachs bodysuit himself.
The other eight players briefly exchanged glances with each other before removing their enlarged bodysuits one after another.
Poof Poof Poof
After the smoke dissipated, everyone reverted to their ugly appearances. They then lined up and obediently returned their bodysuits.
Chen Yu first collected the bodysuit of Sonys representative. At the same time, he also pushed the microphone he held to the representative and asked, Sir, what do you think of Nintendos game?
Revealing a formal smile, Sonys representative answered, It has a fascinating game concept. In short, the game limits the number of unnecessary functions and infinitely maximizes the fun. It is a truly wonderful game, and it is worthwhile for Sony to study. I hope that-
Enough. Tossing the microphone away, Chen Yu said, If I knew you would say something so boring, I shouldnt have chosen Sony in the first place.
Hearing this, Sonys representative mentally struggled as he fought between protecting his companys image and maintaining a friendly relationship with Chen Yu. In the end, he gritted his teeth and chose the latter. While brandishing his fists, he shouted, Sony, banzai! Nintendo is trash!
Chen Yus eyes immediately glowed in excitement. Hurriedly, he picked up the microphone and said, Continue! Ramp it up!
Holding back his shame, Sonys representative continued, Sonys software and hardware performance are much better! Sony also has more exclusive masterpieces! Nintendo, you dare call this embarrassing piece of shit a console?!
Bullshit! At this time, some of the Nintendo fans that were spectating below the stage shouted, Sony, do you even know what gameplay is?!
Hearing this, Sonys representative turned to look at Chen Yu.
In excitement, Chen Yu said, Dont lose to him! Fight back!
After gulping down his saliva, Sonys representative took over the microphone and said, Nintendos graphics quality is shit! Its games optimization is even worse! Only children will play Nintendo games!
Our Nintendo has Zelda!
Sonys console is much more powerful! The image quality is cinema-level!
We have Zelda! x5
Sony gives Playstation members a AAA masterpiece every month!
We have Zelda! x17
Sonys exclusive masterpieces are excellent and innumerable! Theyre cheap as well!
We have Zelda! x30
Sonys representative: Can you stop saying Zelda?
We have Mario!
We have Pokmon!
We also have Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros, Super Kirby, Octopath Traveler
Zelda! x55
[Im dying from laughter!]
[Hahahaha]
[Microsoft is silently watching and smiling from the sidelines.]
[This representative is going to become famous.]
[Host, youre so bad. I like it.]
Alright, well done, Chen Yu said as he patted the representatives shoulder. Ill include you guys if I have another interactive event.
Thank you, Mr. King. The representative hurriedly nodded.
After returning all of the bodysuits into the metal console, Chen Yu pushed down on the power button, turning off the machine. He then stood up, faced the camera, and concluded, Thats it for our review of this product. I want to thank everyone for remaining in front of your screens and watching the stream.
Before we end the stream, allow me to bring up a matter.
For many people, they think that it is only right that they receive something in return for their actions. In the 1980s and 1990s, video games emerged. However, along with its emergence, all kinds of criticism and slander appeared as well. Its as if people are trying to ruin video games.
Meanwhile, the root of all these negative remarks is because games dont provide any returns. Playing games doesnt improve your performance in life. It doesnt bring about any benefits. It is simply a form of entertainment. As a result, playing games has become an improper action in the eyes of many adults.
Bending over, Chen Yu picked up the metal console and gently stroked its surface. We dont demand many people to understand what art, culture, or happiness is. As part of the generation born into video games, we are weak in this world. However, even as we endure against the storms in the outside world, we choose not to retaliate. Why? Because we know that so long as we have our games, we will always live a better life than them.
Even after we have grown up, the elders of the older generation will still ask us whyafter we have started working, gotten married, and even had childrenwe would continue playing video games.
Slowly raising the metal cube in his hands, Chen Yu displayed Nintendos logo to the camera and smiled. This product can perfectly answer this question. It can answer all the malicious questions raised since the inception of games.
Because
We love it.
And it is a love that doesnt seek reciprocation.
After saying so, Chen Yu lowered his hands.
This has been Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream! Everyone, thank you for watching! We will meet again next time!
The screen darkened, putting an end to the flood of bullet comments.
The livestream was over.
Roughly a dozen minutes later, the helicopter carrying the special situation teams middle-aged team leader finally arrived at the scene.
After the helicopter landed, the middle-aged team leader presented his ID to one of the police officers sealing off the scene. He then walked up the stage and joined the investigation team.
As for Big Sis Wu, who served as the team leaders assistant, she walked around the stadium and conducted routine tasks. She then approached the team leader and reported, Leader, the TV stations person-in-charge came running over. Hes asking when our search will finish. He says the broadcast tonight cannot be delayed.
Have him continue delaying the broadcast, the middle-aged team leader dully said as he straightened his mask. Have him talk to our superior. Well need at least a week to be done with this place.
Okay. Big Sis Wu nodded. Holding up her notebook, she continued, There is a lot of discussion over Transdimensional Review on the internet. We werent able to carry out the targeted bans and deletions in time. Many ignorant netizens have also started growing suspicious. Moreover, hackers have hacked several important government websites and uploaded many screenshots of Transdimensional Reviews livestream.
Hearing this, the middle-aged team leader straightened his back and removed his glove. Sternly, he said, Even if we cant ban them, we must still do it. If blocking individual accounts isnt enough, then seal off the entire platform! This goes especially for Shanghais online forums. Seal all of them! We cannot let this information spread even further.
Understood.
Contact the Veterans Hospital and bring that soldier to me. I have many questions to ask him. Arrange him into my schedule.
Okay.
Chen Yu mightve left after his livestream ended, but the mess he left behind still required countless manpower and resources to clean up.
After returning home, the first thing Chen Yu did was to roll around on his bed. He then swiped his finger across his watch and inspected his income today.
He had garnered a total of 2.58 million viewers across the five broadcasting platforms and earned 86 points.
Including the 65 points he had saved up, he now had a total of 151 points.
I got back the cloaks money.
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Yu visited the Transdimensional Store. After browsing through the five items, he found no products worth purchasing.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and spent 10 points to refresh the store. Fortunately, one of the items was something he currently needed.
[3. Basic Antimatter Destruction Battery: Produced by the Best Man Energy Processing Company in 3785. This battery is made using the densest energy source in existenceantimatter. The container is bound by a potential magnetic field to control the collision frequency of antimatter and positive matter, ensuring the batterys safety. The batterys output can be freely adjusted. It is suited to be used in various small- and medium-sized spatial gates, industries, and floating cities. The selling price is 70 points.]
A cloak that vanishes forever with a toss costs 90 points, yet this super-battery only sells for 70 points? Why? Chen Yu wondered as he purchased the antimatter battery. Isnt the pricing a little too arbitrary? Isnt this unreasonable?
[78 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 73]
As the text prompt flashed across the watchs screen, a small wormhole immediately appeared in the middle of the bedroom. A white delivery box then fell out of the wormhole.
Its not a toy!
Before Little Peach could open her mouth, Chen Yu interrupted her ahead of time.
Little Peach:
After waiting for the space-time wormhole to vanish, Chen Yu stepped forward and tore open the box. He then pulled out the small silver brick inside the box. After weighing the brick in his hand, he carefully set it on the floor and picked up the instruction manual.
As an antimatter battery, the energy contained inside could easily blow up Earth 250 times
Or maybe even more.
Huh? Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu suddenly realized something. Picking up the battery, he dazedly wondered, The audience will love the disassembly of an antimatter battery
Chapter 180 - Arm-wrestling With the Government
Chapter 180 C Arm-wrestling With the Government
The next day, Chen Yu dropped his three little sisters off at their respective schools like usual. Afterward, he lazily arrived at Sixth High, entered Class 2-2s classroom, and sat on his seat.
C-Chen Yu, youre here.
At this time, Xing Biqi, who sat in the front seat, turned around with a lunch box in hand. I made this for you.
Cake, again? Chen Yu raised his brows.
N-No. Xing Biqi hurriedly shook her head. Abashedly, she said, I-Its oyster soup.
Oyster soup?
After casually grabbing the lunch box, Chen Yu opened the lid and took a sniff. Failing to smell anything strange, he grabbed the spoon clipped to the side of the lunch box and took a mouthful.
How is it?
Chen Yu did not immediately answer. Instead, he tossed the spoon aside and started gulping the soup directly from the container until nothing remained. He then wiped his mouth and asked, Can you make more in the future?
I-Is it because you like it very much?
If you prepare more, I can skip breakfast at home and sleep longer, Chen Yu honestly answered.
I-Ill prepare more from now on, then. Its fine so long as you like it.
Its not a matter of like or dislike. Since you prepared the food, I have to eat it even if it tastes bad to avoid harming your reputation.
Thank you, Chen Yu.
No problem. Its what I should do.
Chen Yu nonchalantly waved his hand. He then pulled out his phone and said, You should turn around. Its not good for male and female students to stick so closely to each other.
Shameless
Meanwhile, Li Liang, seated at the chilly balcony, shivered in anger as he looked at Chen Yu and Xing Biqi. This is goddamned suffocating
From his vantage point, Li Liang could see the dog food[1] his classmates were spreading. Chen Yus and Xing Biqis dog food was especially difficult to stomach, yet he had no choice but to swallow it.
Li Liang simply couldnt understand why a beauty like Xing Biqi would be interested in a bastard like Chen Yu.
Was it merely because Chen Yu had secured a seat for her?
But that seat initially belonged to him! Even if Xing Biqi were to fall for someone, it should be him!
Dogshit. Dogshit luck. Dogshit bastardachoo!
Rubbing his nose, Li Liang pulled out a military coat from his bag and draped it over his body. He then continued looking at Chen Yu resentfully
Hmm?
Sensing the malicious gaze, Chen Yu turned toward Li Liang and observed the latter for a moment. He then shouted, Bald Li, open the window! Its too hot inside the room.
Scram!!
In the evening, after the school bell rang, Chen Yu promptly picked up his school bag and walked out of the classroom.
Chen Yu! W-Wait up! Xing Biqi called out. Without even tidying up her desk, she simply picked up her bag and chased after Chen Yu.
What is it? Chen Yu asked as he turned around.
C-Chen Yu, my grandparents will be coming home in a few more days. When Covering her blushing cheeks, Xing Biqi said, When will you come to my house?
Oh! Right! Realization dawned on Chen Yu. I need to go to your house to teach you.
Mhm, mhm.
Well be studying physics, is it?
Mhm! Nervously clenching her fists, she asked, A-Are you free today?
Folding his arms around his chest, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before he nodded and said, I guess Im free. Ill make a call home first.
Wonderful! Xing Biqi hugged one of Chen Yus arms and shook it in excitement.
At this time, Li Liang just happened to come out of the classroom. Upon seeing this scene, his expression instantly twisted, and he retreated into the classroom with ragged breaths
Stop shaking. Let me make my call.
After pushing Xing Biqi away, Chen Yu leaned against the corridor and gave his mother a call.
Beep
Hello? After the busy tone continued for some time, Mother Chens voice came from the receiver. Little Yu?
Its me. Im staying the night at Li Liangs place. I wont be heading home, so no need to prepare dinner for me.
Youre going to spend the night outside? Mother Chen raised her tone.
Mhm. The finals are coming up soon. Li Liang says he has many topics he doesnt know, and hes asked me to teach him, Chen Yu said, making up a bunch of nonsense. You know Li Liang and I are close like brothers. I cant just ignore him.
After saying so, Chen Yu quickly stepped into the classroom and grabbed his makeshift club from under his desk. He then approached Li Liang and whispered into the latters ears, Tell my mom Im going to your house.
Li Liang:
Say it. Chen Yu lightly brushed the nails on the club against Li Liangs face.
Indifferently, Li Liang grabbed the phone and said, Hello? Aunty? Chen Yus going to stay over at my place today. Mhm. Okay, okay. We wont make trouble. Goodbye, aunty.
Disconnecting the call, Li Liang returned the phone to Chen Yu. He then briefly glanced at Xing Biqi before sourly asking, What are you doing tonight?
Tap, tap, tap.
In response, Chen Yu raised his club and tapped it against the wall three times.
Li Liang:
Focus on studying at home. Use your right hand to wield your pen instead of that nonsense. Im leaving first. Bye-bye.
Li Liang:
After leading Xing Biqi out of the school entrance, Chen Yu generously hailed a taxi.
L-Lets take the bus. Its only one yuan, Xing Biqi weakly said as she stepped back.
My treat, Chen Yu said as he hopped into the back seat. After dragging Xing Biqi into the car as well, he said to the driver, To the front of the train station.
Y-You really know where I live!
I told you before that Bald Li mentioned it to me.
But I never told him.
That, I dont know. Chen Yu shrugged.
Roughly ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
After paying the taxi fare, Chen Yu got out of the car together with Xing Biqi. He then said, Lead the way. I only know you live in this area.
Okay.
Xing Biqi tightly hugged her bag and led the way, her heart filled with feelings of excitement and anxiety.
Chen Yu quietly followed after the girl, his right hand inserted into his pants pocket.
Inside the pocket, both the High-frequency Lightsaber and Amnesia Rattle were ready to go.
The invisible camera was also on alert mode as it hovered above his head.
He was already prepared to lay his cards on the table.
If the other party really was an agent
Under Xing Biqis lead, the two entered an alley and stopped before the third to last bungalow.
T-This is my house. Lowering her head, Xing Biqi apologized, Sorry that its a bit old.
A bungalow with a yard. Very good.
Taking out a key, Xing Biqi unlocked the front door and led Chen Yu into the room.
The house was simple but clean.
The kitchen was especially spotless.
C-Chen Yu, come in. This is m-my room.
Sure.
Although Chen Yu behaved casually, he was actually on high alert as he walked into the girls bedroom. His eyes were cautiously observing his surroundings.
After conducting reviews for several months, he deemed that he already had the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with the government. This was especially true after the Type-K Beast Armors appearance. Hence, he had agreed to Xing Biqis invitation.
If this girl really was a government agent, this proved that he had indeed been discovered already. In that case, he might as well open up and arm-wrestle with the government.
However, if the girl before him was utterly ignorant, this proved that his concealment was indeed seamless and impeccable, and even the government was helpless against him.
Taking a seat on a wooden chair, Chen Yu sneered as he mumbled, Lets see whos tougher
Chapter 181 - I Heard it Doesn’t Hurt Once You’re Drunk…
Chapter 181 C I Heard it Doesnt Hurt Once Youre Drunk
Chen Yu, heres some tea.
Inside the simple bedroom, Xing Biqi placed a glass of tea on the study table.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded as he eyed the tea. However, he did not drink it. Do you usually take the bus to school?
I take it when its dark outside, Xing Biqi answered as she lightly stroked her hair.
You dont take it during the day?
The school is close, so I just walk. I can also train my body, Xing Biqi said. Seemingly reluctant to continue on this topic, she turned away and quickly left. Youre hungry, right? Ill make dinner.
Seeing the girl leaving, Chen Yu stood up, raised his right hand, and removed his watchs concealment. He then manipulated the floating camera to inspect the room for any surveillance cameras or listening devices.
However, even after conducting several scans on the room, he didnt make any discoveries.
It seems shes quite cautious?
Lowering his hand, Chen Yu started walking around the room and observing every nook and cranny.
As an adolescent male, he still held relatively great interest in a girls room. This was especially true for the partially-opened wardrobe in the corner of the room. The pink color inside seemingly tempted him to open it
There must be underwear inside meant to tempt a pure male student like me, right? Keke, a honey trap? Do you think Ill fall for it?
Although Chen Yus brain thought as such, his head, which encased his brain, was already curiously inching toward the wardrobe
C-Chen Yu?
Huh? Chen Yus head snapped around and saw Xing Biqi, her face flushed. In this situation, even Chen Yu himself couldnt help but blush. Pretending to be calm, he said, Your wardrobe seems broken. I-I cant seem to close it all the way.
The sliding doors s-screw fell off. It cant be closed.
Oh, Ill fix it for you, then.
O-Okay.
Its fine if I open the door, right?
Y-Yes
After receiving permission, Chen Yu immediately opened the wardrobe door and saw the neatly arranged jackets and school uniforms. Failing to see what he wanted, he closed the door and said, Nope, cant fix it.
Xing Biqi:
Right, werent you preparing dinner? Why are you here?
T-There are quite a few preparations. Can you help me peel some potatoes? Shyly lowering her head, she said, I-Its mostly so I can chat with you.
Oh. After taking one last look at the room, Chen Yu nodded, Sure. Lets go.
The two of them left the bedroom and entered the kitchen. Xing Biqi then handed two potatoes to Chen Yu. Its just these two. Ill do the vegetables.
Sure.
Chen Yu found that one of the potatoes already had half its skin scraped off after accepting the knife and potatoes.
Yes, the skin was scraped, not cut.
Chen Yu, who had similarly come from a poor family, instantly understood the situation. Looking at Xing Biqi, he said, You peeled the potato using a spoon, right?
Thats right.
This way, you will only scrape off the skin and wont waste any of the meat.
Mhm.
However, scraping old potatoes like these is very tiring.
T-Thats why I prepared a knife for you, Xing Biqi said, pursing her lips.
Give me the spoon, Chen Yu said as he tossed the knife aside. He then picked up a spoon from the kitchen counter and skillfully skinned the potatoes. I know how to skin potatoes as well.
Xing Biqi blankly stared at Chen Yu as he skinned the potatoes. After a while, she turned away, and the corner of her lips curled up
After skinning the two potatoes, Chen Yu washed them with water. While doing so, he found another familiar sight.
There was a red bucket under the kitchen tap.
After he closed the tap, drops of water continued dripping out of the faucet and into the bucket.
The weak water flow wasnt enough to trigger the water meter, so any water collected through this method was virtually free. The only downside to this method of collecting water was that it was a slow process.
Strictly speaking, this behavior could be categorized as stealing water.
However, how could the affairs of civilians be considered theft?
This was called the wisdom of life.
You go cut the meat. Ill handle the rest of the vegetables, Chen Yu said as he grabbed the vegetable knife from Xing Biqi. He then skillfully stripped the vegetables.
You know how to do this as well, Chen Yu?
Heh, I also come from peasant roots, though my genetics are beyond excellent.
Xing Biqi:
After processing all the ingredients, Xing Biqi lit a fire, heated the oil, placed the meat into the wok, stirred it, and added spices. Her actions flowed fluidly, and she completed the cooking process in one go.
Taking a step back, Chen Yu carefully inspected the girl before asking, You really know how to cook?
Grandma goes to church every weekend, so I cook on Saturdays and Sundays. Im used to it now.
This is your grandparents house?
Mhm.
What about your parents? Are they working outstation?
Xing Biqis hand momentarily froze at Chen Yus question, and she pursed her lips. She then answered, They passed away.
Sorry, I didnt know that.
It doesnt matter. They deserved it. Xing Biqi bit down on her lip and started turning the vegetables in the wok with greater strength. Not only were they drunk driving, but they were even driving backward. Serves them right. Serves them right!
Ten minutes later, two simple stir-fried dishes were completed, with the main dish being egg fried rice.
As Xing Biqis house didnt have a kitchen table, the two of them could only have their meal in the living room.
While Xing Biqi went to the bathroom to wash her hands, Chen Yu had the floating camera scan the dishes. The dishes showed up as green on his watchs screen, and there were no red dots or alerts, proving that the food should be safe to eat.
Although this type of spectral scanning wasnt as accurate as mass spectrometry, Chen Yu still felt assured by the results. He then took a seat at the dining table and waited for the meal to start.
After washing her hands and wiping them dry with a towel, Xing Biqi walked out of the bathroom and sat opposite Chen Yu. Her face slightly reddish, she said, Chen Yu, thank you for coming to my home to teach me today. Although the food is simple, please dont mind it.
Its quite good already. Picking up his chopsticks, Chen Yu said, Hurry up and eat. Ill teach you once were done eating.
Hearing this, Xing Biqis face turned even redder. After hesitating for a moment, she went to the kitchen and returned with two bottles of beer. Lets drink this.
Were students. How can we drink?
I-Its okay. Were just drinking a little.
We still need to study later.
I heard studying doesnt h-hurt once youre drunk Xing Biqi said, her voice as soft as a mosquitos buzzing.
As if in deep thought, Chen Yu said, Oh? Theres such a saying as well?
Following this, the two quietly finished their meals while having their own thoughts in mind. After the dinner, the two tacitly returned to the girls room.
After entering the bedroom, Xing Biqi immediately shut the door and drew the curtains. She then approached Chen Yu, her face blushing as she said, L-Lets begin.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded. Lets begin, then.
Mhm! Xing Biqi sat on the bed and shut her eyes. L-Lets begin
Opening up his bag, Chen Yu pulled out a physics textbook and a physics test paper. He then asked, Do you want to learn or do it first?
With her eyes still closed, the girl softly said, I-If you know how to do it, Chen Yu, then lets d-do it first.
Of course, I know how to do it. Why would I teach you otherwise? Raising the test paper, Chen Yu said, Lets do it first, then?
Okay
What time is it? Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu took a look at the time. Its half-past eight. How long are we doing it for?
A-Anything is fine.
Anything? Heh. Opening the test paper and picking up a pen, Chen Yu said, I can do it all night long.
L-Lets do it all night, then At this point, Xing Biqis delicate face had basically turned into an apple.
You said it. In that case, I wont hold back.
Mhm! The girl covered her burning face.
Im starting!
Mhm~?~
Okay, first question. After taking a seat before the study table, Chen Yu quickly wrote something on the test paper. While writing, he said, As shown in the picture, mass Ms inclined plane rests on a rough surface. The angle of inclination is 0
Dumbfounded, Xing Biqi opened her eyes.
???
Chapter 182 - This Girl is Sick in The Head
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 182 C This Girl is Sick in The Head
As shown in the picture, mass Ms
Hearing this, Xing Biqi opened her eyes and looked at Chen Yu with a stunned look. ???
While the small object is in motion, the inclined plane always remains still. Then, why is the grounds normal force facing the inclined plane? After reading the question, Chen Yu turned to look at Xing Biqi. Frowning, he asked, Why are you looking at me? Why arent you looking at the question?
I Thisisnt right
What isnt right? You said you can do it all night long. Are you regretting your words now? Chen Yu sneered.
No Confused, Xing Biqi asked, T-The studying we talked about isstudying?
No wonder your language score is terrible. What do you mean studying is studying? How is this a proper sentence?
But the studying I talked aboutisnt studying! Xing Biqi said in frustration.
If were not studying, why did you invite me here? Grabbing Xing Biqis arm, Chen Yu dragged the girl to his side. He then pointed at the test paper and said, Im not wasting this trip. You must study.
1
I
What about you? Which answer are you choosing for this question? Between the ground and inclined planes normal force, choose one.
This
Stop looking at me! Look at the paper! Does my face have the answer?! Chen Yu bellowed.
Xing Biqi:
This question is simple. It is also clearly stated.
T-The studying I talked about isnt this! Xing Biqi stamped her foot, her cheeks blushing. I I wanted towith you
What do you want from me?
I I wanted tos-sleep withyou the girl said as she covered her face and crouched down. With a teary voice, she repeated, S-Sleep
Sleep?! Chen Yu was shocked.
Mhm.
Suddenly, an awkward atmosphere enveloped the room.
After remaining silent for a long time, Chen Yu helped Xing Biqi up and solemnly said, Were still students.
B-But Xing Biqi looked at Chen Yu with tear-filled eyes.
There are no buts. Sighing, Chen Yu continued, Were almost in our third year, and there is the National College Entrance Examination afterward. Its only eight oclock right now. Its still too early to sleep. We need to study. If were lazy, we wont improve.
1
Xing Biqi:
Didnt you say you wanted to do these test questions with me just now? All night even. Wearing a stern look, Chen Yu said, I keep to my promises. Since we have agreed to do test questions all night, well continue all the way till midnight.
After saying so, Chen Yu opened his bag and pulled out a set of mathematics papers, two sets of language papers, two sets of chemistry papers, and four sets of English papers.
We have more than enough test papers. We definitely wont finish them all by midnight.
Xing Biqi:
Just complete as many papers as you like. I wont ask you for money for the papers, Chen Yu said as he patted his chest. As Class 2s top student, this is a responsibility I should bear.
Xing Bigi:
Stop daydreaming. Back to the question. Which answer will you choose? A: (M+m)g; B: (M+m)g-F; C
With a dazed expression, the girl lethargically replied, B
Correct! It wouldve been too much if you couldnt even answer such a simple question. Now, next question. As shown in the picture, a mass m slides down from point Q of an inclined plane
For a time, the small bedroom was filled with an intense learning atmosphere. The boy and girl in the room thoroughly displayed the desire of Chinese teenagers for knowledge.
Without being afraid of hardships, they were studying so that they could fight for a better tomorrow!
Time passed by quickly.
At 10:30 PM, when Xing Biqi answered the final question on the physics paper, her spirit finally collapsed, and she started bawling her eyes out.
There, there. Patting the girls shoulder, Chen Yu consoled, This question is indeed difficult. You should indeed be proud of yourself for answering it without help.
Chen Yu! You You scoundrel!
Huh? Frowning, Chen Yu asked, I spent all that effort teaching you, yet youre cursing me now? What logic is that?
Scoundrel! Sniffling, Xing Biqi wiped away her tears and repeated, You big scoundrel!
You dont want to be friends anymore? You want to break things up?
I dont want to be friends with you! Xing Biqi shouted. She then abruptly lunged forward and hugged Chen Yu while declaring, I-I want to be lovers with you!
1
Theres no way you dont know my intentions! Why are you treating me like this!
I really dont know. Chen Yu shrugged.
You were even looking at pornography in class! How can you not know?!
Crap, you were spying on me?
Chen Yu! After rubbing her tears away on Chen Yus shoulder, Xing Biqi stared at the boy in front of her with widened eyes, Stop toying with me, alright? I like you.
Now that the girl had said so much, Chen Yu decided to stop acting dull. After pushing the girl onto the bed, he removed his jacket.
Uu
Xing Biqis sorrow immediately turned into joy. Just when she was about to remove her jacket as well, a lightsaber suddenly appeared above her head.
Stop acting. With a cold gaze, Chen Yu calmly said, Youre a government agent, right?
1
W-What Xing Biqi retreated in fear as her gaze moved between Chen Yu and the lightsaber. W-What is this thing?
Listen, contact your superior. I just happen to want to have a chat with them.
I Chen Yu, what are you saying?
Youve been exposed, OK? I dont want to waste any more time, Chen Yu said as he expanded the lightsabers width. He then pulled out the Hypnosis Rattle and continued, Do you think you can continue keeping your secrets in front of future technology?
C-Chen Yu I dont know what you are talking about! Xing Biqi paled in fright, and she retreated even further back.
If thats the case Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu yawned.
Immediately, an invisible brainwave spread from the Yawning Denture, stimulating the girls brain and causing it to heat up slightly.
Uu
Xing Biqis struggling dulled, and her eyelids drooped.
Seeing this, Chen Yu shook the Hypnosis Rattle three times.
Ding, ring.
Ding, ring.
Ding, ring
Thud.
Xing Biqi immediately fell into a semi-conscious state, and her body slid down from the bed and onto the ground.
You have successfully completed your mission and received the governments reward, Chen Yu said in a calm tone.
R-Reward the girl mumbled.
Your superior asks you, how did you gain the targets trust?
T-Trust
Whos the target?
Target The target is
Who is it? Chen Yu repeated.
It It is Chen Yu
Sure enough. Chen Yu sneered.
I I finally marriedmarried Chen Yu
Chen Yu: ??
So So happy N-No Not the whip
1
Hey! Stop deviating! Shaking the rattle three more times, Chen Yu asked, Youre an agent, and youre currently reporting on your mission.
What What mission Xing Biqi frowned. She thoroughly destroyed the setting Chen Yu had established in her mind and returned to the wedding scene. Hehe We are going tohave lots of babies
Placing down the rattle, Chen Yu fell into deep thought as he stared at the radiant smile on Xing Biqis face.
Afterward.
For nearly half an hour, he had constructed all sorts of scenarios in the girls mind. However, he did not gain any information showing that related her to being an agent.
At this point, the truth was out.
Xing Biqis transfer to Sixth Highs Class 2-2 at Chen Yus crucial period was indeed only a coincidence.
Well, this is goddamned embarrassing.
Chen Yu scratched his head in frustration.
I did such horrible things to her, yet she still likes me? Is this girl sick in the head?
After Chen Yu pondered for a long time, a rare emotion called guilt formed in his heart. Sighing, he picked up the girl from the ground and gently set her down on the bed.
Clang!
At this time, the sound of the metal gate closing suddenly came from outside the bedroom. This sound was then followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. A moment later, an elderly man hurriedly pushed open the bedroom door, held up the bag in his hands, and happily said, My good granddaughter, look what we bought foryou
Maintaining his posture, Chen Yu stiffly turned his head around.
Old man: What
Chen Yu: I-Im teaching her physics. Do you believe me?
Old man:
Chen Yu: Your granddaughter is great. Shes a fast learner

Chapter 183 - Installing the Antimatter Battery
Chapter 183 C Installing the Antimatter Battery
Thud.
The old man dropped his bag as he stared at Chen Yu, his face filled with disbelief.
Um, old man, let me explain.
Chen Yu slowly removed himself from Xing Biqis body. He then spread out his arms and attempted to explain, Do you see the textbooks on the table? We really are studying. Only, your granddaughter-
A-Animal!
The old mans breathing gradually hastened, his body shivering from anger as he ran to the kitchen and returned with a knife. And with a roar, he immediately charged at Chen Yu.
Hah Youve lived so long, yet youre still not civilized.
Sighing, Chen Yu pulled out the Amnesia Bat from his pocket and started inflating it. After dodging the old mans attempt at stabbing him, he struck the back of the old mans head with the bat.
Thump!
Thud.
The old man promptly lost consciousness and limply collapsed to the ground.
Little Qiqi, were
At this time, an old woman also entered the bedroom. Upon seeing the scene in front of her, she immediately fell into shock.
Chen Yu knew that it would be pointless for him to explain himself. Immediately, he raised the Amnesia Bat and smacked the old lady in the head as well.
Demacia!
Thump!
Thud.
After knocking out the old couple, Chen Yu picked them up and settled them in the master bedroom. He then returned to Xing Biqis room.
Click.
After shutting the door, Chen Yu sat beside the unconscious girl and shook her body. Hey, wake up.
Huh? Xing Biqi opened her eyes in a daze. Chen Chen Yu
Thud!
Before she could fully regain her consciousness, an eggplant-like bat smacked her head and rendered her unconsciousness once more.
Her memories of before should be gone with this.
After storing away the lightsaber and Amnesia Bat, Chen Yu put on his jacket and tidied up the study materials he brought. He then sat by the bedside and pushed the slumbering girl once more. Hey, wake up.
Uu Waking up in a daze, Xing Biqi looked at Chen Yu before looking at her own clothes. I What happened to me?
You were stuck at a physics question just now. After struggling with the question for some time, you suddenly fainted, Chen Yu said, too lazy to make up a proper excuse.
I f-fainted?
Thats right. You fainted. Dont struggle too hard if you encounter a difficult problem next time. Its important to take care of your body.
I
Lets not talk about anything else for now, Chen Yu said, suppressing his voice. He then moved closer to Xing Biqis ear and continued, Your grandparents are home. I need to go.
What? Startled, Xing Biqi hurriedly jumped off the bed. Impossible!
Shh! Softer! Chen Yu covered Xing Biqis mouth. Why cant it be possible? If I didnt lock the door after hearing them enter the house, your grandfather would have entered the room and discovered me.
You locked the door? Frowning, Xing Biqi revealed, My bedrooms lock is broken. it
Chen Yu:
See. Approaching the door, Xing Biqi personally did a demonstration.
Sure enough, the lock was indeed broken.
I-In that case, your grandfather was polite. He left after knocking on the door and not receiving a reply.
My grandfather doesnt knock.
Right. Holding back his embarrassment, Chen Yu continued blabbering nonsense, Your grandfather didnt knock. He simply stood before the door and listened. After deeming that you were asleep, he didnt enter.
My grandparents know I always study until midnight.
Chen Yu:
Also, the lights are still on. If they came back, theyd definitely enter my bedroom, Xing Biqi said as she pointed toward the lights. Chen Yu, dont try to trick me. You cant leave.
Facts speak louder than words. Realizing he couldnt make up any more excuses, Chen Yu dragged Xing Biqi to the master bedroom. Pointing at the elderly couple sleeping on the bed, he lowered his voice and said, See? Theyre back, right? Maybe its because theyre too tired, so they didnt enter your room and went straight to bed.
Theyre really back! Xing Biqi was startled. The next moment, however, she suspiciously tilted her head and said, But why do they still have their jackets on?
Their shoes are still on as well.
Theres even dirt on their bodies.
Whats going on?
You know too much.
Now that he had been thoroughly exposed, Chen Yu silently pulled out the Amnesia Bat, inflated it, and smacked the girl on the back of her head.
Thump.
Thud.
After returning the unconscious girl to her bedroom, Chen Yu tossed her on the bed, removed her jacket, and covered her with the blanket. Not wanting to make any further explanations, he picked up his bag and promptly left.
After leaving the residential district, Chen Yu quietly walked on a desolate street. As he looked up at the starry sky above him, his heart gave birth to an inexplicable sense of loneliness and melancholy that only a literary teenager could have.
He didnt know how to write poems, nor did he memorize any poems. After holding back for a while, he chose to sing a song to express his feelings.
Like sunlight passing through the night. Dawn quietly crossed the horizon.
Whose shadow travels through reincarnation
The road to the future is under your feet. Dont be sad, dont be afraid.
Full of faith and looking forward to tomorrow
A new storm has appeared! How can I stand still[1]
After walking for nearly an hour, Chen Yu finally arrived back home.
As he opened the security door, he could hear the sound of Chen Erkes snoring coming from the quiet living room.
Removing his shoes, Chen Yu tiptoed up to his bedroom door, pulled out his key, and unlocked the door. As soon as he opened the door, Little Peach immediately threw herself on him and hugged him tightly.
Mr. Chen, youre finally back!
Shh! Quiet! Pushing away the robot clinging to him, Chen Yu gently shut the door. He then laid on his bed and took a deep breath, saying, Im tired. Dont cling to me. Im going to bed.
Mr. Chen, did you drink? Little Peach said as she sidled up to Chen Yus side and sniffed him. I also smell cheating.
Chen Yu:
Mr. Chen. Her eyes reddening, Little Peach said, Have you forgotten the pledge of love we made to each other?
Bullshit! Since when has there been love between us?!
You men are ruthless!
Chen Yu:
Wiping away her tears, Little Peach pouted and asked, Can you tell me who she is? At least let me know who I lost to.
Lowering his head, Chen Yu glanced at Little Peachs clenched fists making cracking noises. His complexion darkening, he said, More like youre trying to kill the other person, right?!
I am a romance robot. I have the right to protect my love!
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu stood up and calmly said, Firstly, the only thing that exists between us is friendship. I have always treated you like a brother.
Theres romance between brothers as well.
Can you let me finish?
Please continue.
Secondly, love isnt something you can win over by using violence.
Impossible! Little Peach denied Chen Yus words without hesitation. Since ancient times, it has been completely reasonable for one to snatch partners and kill competitors.
Are all you future intelligent beings lunatics? Chen Yu raised his hand and smacked Little Peachs head. Ive wanted to educate you for a long time now, but considering your mental age is still that of a child, Ive been holding back all this time. However, I wont drag things on any longer. I have to put some sense into you.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu adjusted his tone and continued, Since youve come to the year 2020, you must abide by the rules of modern society. It is illegal to injure others. As for love, it is my freedom to decide who I love and how many people I love.
Staring at Chen Yu in a daze, Little Peach said, So, Mr. Chenit turns out that youre a scumbag.
No.
Youre already trying to start a harem, yet you deny it?
Im only expressing my opinion, Chen Yu said as he suppressed his urge to flip a table. If you wish to obtain my love, you need to compete for it using your heart. Make it so that I cant do without you. However, you cannot injure other people.
Oh. Making it so that you cant live without me Little Peach thoughtfully lowered her head and stared at Chen Yus legs.
Hurriedly retracting his legs, Chen Yu said, Crap! Not the crippled kind!
Snowflakes were like the tears of angels, and they covered the loveless heaven.
However, the Chen familys abode was full of love, so snowflakes didnt cover it.
It had been two weeks since Chen Yus night visit to Xing Biqis home.
After learning that Xing Biqi was not a government agent, Chen Yu immediately changed his attitude toward her. The relationship between the two had also transformed into a delicate one.
However, Chen Yu himself didnt pay too much attention to this matter.
The sixth official livestream would begin soon, and after the livestream would come the second quarterly evaluation. Whether he received a promotion would depend on the upcoming livestream. Hence, he had placed all of his attention on this matter.
Which piece should I remove? It should be this piece, right?
Inside the bedroom, Little Peach was holding onto an instruction manual while pointing at the Interstellar Portals bottom plate. The energy module should be behind this plate.
Should be? Chen Yu frowned.
Im sure of it! Little Peach corrected herself. Its here.
Dont make a mistake. If it explodes, the whole Earth will be doomed.
The instructions say that the portal wouldnt explode. There are safety devices set in place to prevent that. Handing out the instruction manual, Little Peach said, You can take a look at it if you dont believe me.
If Im a professional at English, would I even need you to read it in the first place? This goddamned manual has various languages for the operation method, yet the disassembly instructions are written only in English. Is this thing bullying me for being uncultured? Stretching his hand toward the plate Little Peach pointed at, Chen Yu asked one last time, Im removing it. Are you sure its this one?
Mhm!
After receiving an answer, Chen Yu no longer hesitated. Immediately, he pushed the plate leftward with both hands.
Creak Clack!
The plate that was originally integrated with the door actually separated, revealing a small round button inside.
This is a safety button, Little Peach said excitedly. Pressing it will separate the energy module. Well? I wasnt mistaken, right? You should trust me.
Heh.
Reaching out, Chen Yu pressed the button. Accompanied by the release of cold air, the plate popped out of the portal, revealing an antimatter battery immersed in a special liquid.
There were also three empty slots beside the battery. This showed that the Interstellar Portal could have up to four batteries loaded at a time.
Bring the battery over.
Okay.
After receiving the brand new antimatter battery from Little Peach, Chen Yu put on a pair of gloves and removed the batterys packaging. He then carefully inserted it into one of the empty slots.
Hiss!
The instant the battery and liquid came into contact, a strange chemical reaction occurred on the batterys surface.
Is it disinfecting the battery?
Chen Yu didnt even understand the basic principles behind such a level of technology, so he naturally wouldnt put too much thought into the matter. After installing the battery, he promptly resealed the battery module with the metal plate.
Its a product from the 39th century, yet replacing its battery is more inconvenient than replacing a mobile phones battery. After muttering a complaint, Chen Yu stood up and stretched his body. Ah, its finally done.
Mr. Chen, you dont need to be so careful. Pointing at the manual, Little Peach said, The manual already states that all technological products with the possibility of explosion must go through 26 safety inspections before it can be released from the factory.
What if it still explodes after it leaves the factory?
Flipping to the last page, Little Peach answered, The Transcendence Group and General Security Administration will pay huge compensation to you.
Chen Yu:
Wow, so many zeroes. Thats a lot of money. Storing the manual away, Little Peach earnestly said, So, you dont have to worry at all.
Im even more worried now.
Following this, Chen Yu called up the Interstellar Portals console and looked at the energy display. Nodding, he said, The battery is recharged. The installation was successful. Ill head to the toilet first. Make an announcement before the live broadcast. Also, make sure to store the portals manual in a safe location. Well still need it in the future.
Okay.
Patting the dust off his butt, Chen Yu walked out of his bedroom.
Currently, Chen Erke was the only one in the living room, and she was drawing with her crayons.
Second Eldest, where are your sisters?
They went shopping together with mom. They said something about stocking up on New Years goods and candies, Chen Erke said without lifting her head.
Why didnt you go together?
Its so cold outside. Also, isnt it better to enjoy the work of others?
Reasonable.
I need to help carry things and squeeze through crowds as well if I follow. Shrugging, Chen Erke concluded, Only a fool would go.
Wheres the dog? Chen Yu asked after scanning the living room. Did the dog follow them as well?
Dont know. I havent seen it for quite some time. Brandishing the crayon she held, Chen Erke irritably said, Brother, stop disturbing me from drawing!
After raising a middle finger at Chen Erke, Chen Yu clicked his tongue and walked to the bathroom. When he opened the toilet lid and was about to urinate, he suddenly smelled a hint of cigarette smoke.
Huh?
Squinting his eyes, he sniffed around and verified that his nose wasnt playing tricks on him. Theres indeed the smell of smoke.
After urinating and flushing the toilet, Chen Yu faintly guessed what was going on. Closing the sliding door, he started tracing the smell of smoke to its source.
This is
Bending down, he found some scattered cigarette ash on the ground. He then stared at a corner of the bathroom.
Hu
He heard the sound of someone puffing smoke.
After remaining silent for some time, Chen Yu reached out with his trembling hand. To his surprise, his hand actually came into contact with something solid in mid-air
What the?!
Chen Yu grabbed onto the invisible object and pulled. And as he pulled the Invisibility Cloak, he also exposed the huskys figure. Currently, the husky was holding onto a cigarette while staring at him in a daze.
Chen Yu:
The husky:
Chapter 184 - Sixth Official Livestream! (1)
Chapter 184 C Sixth Official Livestream! (1)
Sunday, 8:50 AM.
Beijing, special situation teams office:
After pushing open the doors to the conference room, the middle-aged team leader headed straight for his seat. Scanning the crowd before him, he said in a deep voice, There are 10 minutes left before Transdimensional Reviews official livestream begins. Before that, I have several announcements I need to make.
Immediately, the conference room fell silent as everyone looked at the team leader seriously.
The first matter is that as more people learn of Transdimensional Reviews existence, simple network bans and misdirecting public opinion are no longer effective. After this livestream, the teams network department will become independent and expand its scale. It will also be led directly by the higher-ups.
Seeing that everyone did not react much to this announcement, the team leader stretched out two fingers and continued, The second matter is related to the establishment of the Observer Foundation. The foundation will be supervised and operated by five countries. It functions specifically for the research and observation of matters related to Transdimensional Review. After this livestream, I will join this foundation together with a portion of the teams members, and someone else will take over the special situation team.
At this announcement, everyone in the conference room could no longer remain calm. They promptly started a discussion with each other.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged team leader shut his eyes and allowed everyone to have their own discussions. After some time had passed, he opened his eyes and continued, The third matter is that after this livestream, everyone in this room will have their level of confidentiality raised by one level. You are not permitted to communicate with external networks, media, and any related people. Assistants and students will similarly be subjected to supervision. Does anyone present have anything to say about this?
Silence filled the conference room.
Seeing this, the team leader indifferently continued, Since there is none, then start working. There are six minutes left before the livestream begins. Resolve your personal matters as soon as possible.
Simultaneously, the several dozen special situation departments around the world also started working intensely.
Nowadays, Transdimensional Reviews monthly official livestreams had already become one of the most important events of mankind. As soon as the official livestream began, government leaders and scientific research organizations worldwide would have to set aside their tasks and make watching the livestream their greatest priority.
As for the civilians watching for fun
Well, they really were just there to watch for fun
Jinzhou, Lanhe District:
Chen Yu quietly sat in his room as he waited for 9 AM to arrive.
Unlike before, Chen Yu no longer grew anxious as he waited for the official products arrival. On the contrary, he now enjoyed the wait.
He enjoyed the moment when the unknown was revealed
Creak.
The Interstellar Portals door opened, and Little Peach walked out of it with a set of clothing in her hands. Mr. Chen, do you think of wearing this set of clothing for the livestream? It looks quite good.
Chen Yu:
Whats the matter? Seeing Chen Yus silence, Little Peach shook the clothes again and asked, It looks quite good. Dont you like it, Mr. Chen? I went through a lot of trouble to buy it.
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu said, Big Sis, what you bought is a dragon robe[1]!
I know. Raising the dragon robe, Little Peach overlapped it with Chen Yus body and earnestly said, I heard this is the most luxurious clothing in ancient times. It matches you well.
The clothes are too big. Its going to affect movement, so it wont work.
It wont! Little Peach said as she removed the outer robe, leaving behind only the dragon clothes. If we leave only this part behind, it wont affect your movements.
Chen Yu blinked. Suddenly, temptation filled his heart. Standing up, he grabbed the ancient clothing that had golden dragons embroidered on it. After hesitating for a moment, he ended up wearing the clothes.
Walking up to the mirror, he slowly turned several times and found that he actually looked quite imposing.
I knew it would look good on you! Little Peach excitedly threw the dragon robe over Chen Yus shoulders. Clapping her hands, she continued, You should wear this from now on!
Taking two steps back, Chen Yu picked up his opera mask and put it on. After evaluating himself in the mirror, he nodded and said, It looks cool, but lets not wear the outer robe. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough. It also isnt convenient for reviewing products.
Tossing away the outer robe, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and looked at the time. It was precisely nine oclock now.
At this time, he also received a message on WeChat.
It was the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
Is it another large object?
[Transdimensional Marketing: Hello, Mr. Chen. Your express delivery is ready. However, the product this time is too big to deliver to your home, so please choose an open area.]
[Chen Yu: Must it be on land as well?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Does it have any destructive prowess?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Unlike the Type-K Beast Armor, the product this time is a piece of industrial equipment. It doesnt come with any significant destructive prowess.]
[Chen Yu: I understand.]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and started choosing his livestream venue.
Since the product this time was a piece of industrial equipment and wasnt destructive in nature, he naturally had to evaluate it within the country.
After staring at the virtual globe for a long while, he ended up choosing the Lotus Mountain Forest Park located north of Beijing.
While waiting for the spatial link to complete, Chen Yu turned around to call for Little Peach. Immediately, he found that the artificial idiot had taken off her cheongsam and replaced it with a set of eunuch clothes
What are you doing?
Im changing my image as well, Little Peach said as she pinched her clothes. When I bought the dragon robe from the Chinatown I visited, the shopowner gifted this to me. I can wear it as well.
Do you know what eunuchs did in ancient times?
I know. Little Peach nodded. Its to serve the emperor. Youre my emperor, so it fits.
After staring at Little Peach for some time, Chen Yu massaged his forehead and surrendered, Okay, you win. Put on your mask, and lets go.
Yes, sir! After giving a ceremonious bow, Little Peach put on her opera mask and happily followed Chen Yu.
Pushing open the door, Chen Yu led Little Peach to a deserted snowy area in the Lotus Mountain Forest Park. After scanning the area, he raised his brows and said, Beijing is snowing as well.
Bending down, Little Peach grabbed a ball of snow and said, Lets have a snowball fight!
Ignoring Little Peach, Chen Yu turned toward the portal and disconnected the spatial link. He then converted the plain wooden door into the shape of a metal arch.
Heh, everyone thinks that the portals original appearance is this one, but I doubt any of them would think that it can change into my rooms door. With his arms akimbo, Chen Yu smirked. Ive easily tricked the whole world.
After repeatedly appearing on livestreams, the portals appearance has already become ingrained in everyones minds! Nobody would think that this door can change its appearance. Giving Chen Yu a thumbs up, Little Peach said, Mr. Chen, your wisdom and cautiousness are indeed remarkable. If it were up to me, I wouldve never thought of this method. Amazing.
Thats why you should stop fooling around all the time and focus more on learning from me, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. While I cant say the same for wisdom, experience, and knowledge are things that can be passed on. If you listen, observe, and think more, there will come a day where you will have the ability to take control of situations like me.
Understood! Clenching her fists, Little Peach declared, I will work hard!
Mhm. Lets not talk about this for now. The livestream is more important. Chen Yu nodded and pulled out his phone. He then sent an OK to the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
Buzz!
In the next moment, a massive wormhole that tore apart the sky appeared above the duos heads!
Crap!
Grabbing Little Peach, Chen Yu shouted, Run quickly!
Chapter 185 - Sixth Official Livestream! (2)
Chapter 185 C Sixth Official Livestream! (2)
The space-time wormhole in midair continuously expanded.
Wary of being hurt by the shockwave generated from the objects landing, Chen Yu grabbed Little P{each and ran away without hesitation.
However, after just taking a few steps, Little Peach frowned upon Chen Yus slow speed. Immediately, she picked up Chen Yu and placed him on her shoulder.
If seen from afar, it would look like a eunuch was desperately trying to protect his master. The sight was very moving.
Buzz
When the wormhole expanded to a 300-meter diameter, an elongated objects silhouette fell out of the wormhole.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud and deafening noise, a powerful shockwave swept across the snowy ground, burying Chen Yu and Little Peach in snow.
Boom
Five seconds later, the shaking ground gradually calmed down.
Cough! Cough, cough
When Chen Yu pulled himself out of the snow and saw the object in front of him, several expressions appeared on his face.
How fun! After swimming in the snow for a while, Little Peach dug her way out of the thick snow. And when she followed Chen Yus gaze and saw what he saw, she exclaimed, Huh? A train?!
I-It should be a train.
Running forward, Chen Yu circled around the object once before falling into thought.
From the outside, the object indeed looked like a train.
The objects body was silver, and it measured roughly 300 meters in length and 30 meters in width. Its height was also at least 10 meters. Its two ends were tapered, and it looked very much like a high-speed train. However, the objects bottom was flat and void of any wheels.
It kind of looks like a train.
Walking to the trains front, Chen Yu climbed up a flight of stairs and arrived beside the front windshield. As he looked through the windshield that resembled metal, he exclaimed, Crap! It really is a train! Is it a future train?
Growing curious, Little Peach jumped up the train. She then leaned against the windshield and looked through it. Its so spacious inside!
It should be a train, Chen Yu said as he jumped off the train. After patting the snow off his body, he continued, Lets start the stream first before we take a look inside.
Okay.
Like a child on a slide, Little Peach slid down the windshield and stood behind Chen Yu.
Meanwhile, just as Chen Yu was about to start the livestream through his watch, he heard someone shouting at him in a Beijing-accent from a distance.
Hey! What are you two doing?
When the two looked toward the source, they saw several park rangers running over.
Whats all this commotion?
Whats that? A high-speed train?
Goddamn, what a big fellow
After exchanging looks with Little Peach, Chen Yu approached the several park rangers and said, Friends, please step aside and dont interrupt my livestream. Dont touch the train either.
You The eldest ranger carefully sized Chen Yu. What are you doing? Is this big thing yours?
Its mine. Chen Yu did not try to communicate any further with the rangers. Without hesitation, he pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber and activated it. He then approached a big tree and swung the lightsaber through it!
Whoosh!
Boom!
The cut tree fell and sent the snow on the ground into the air.
Putting away the lightsaber, Chen Yu turned toward the frightened rangers and said, You can watch, but please stay away from me. Otherwise, nobody will be responsible if your life comes under danger.
This
The frightened rangers stepped back in fear. The more they thought about the situation, the greater their fear became. Eventually, they even started running from the scene.
The eldest of the rangers remained relatively calm. He even remembered to pull out his phone and dial 110. Hello? O-Officers? Its Lotus Mountain Forest Park
After scaring away the bystanders, Chen Yu adjusted the camera angle and started the stream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, Youtube, Kuaishou, and Tiktok activation complete!]
[Total viewer count: 0]
After opening his livestream to the public, a vast number of IP addresses surged into the stream!
25,731.
136,285.
2,220,569!
The total number of viewers had exceeded two million in one second.
Without question, Chen Yu had already become the most popular livestream on the planet. What was even more frightening was that this popularity resulted from his channel being subjected to numerous restrictions.
At this time, most of Earths population still werent aware of what Transdimensional Review was, nor did they know what it represented
[So yellow, so dazzling!]
[A dragon robe?]
[My lord, Im here.]
[My lord, Im here. +1]
[First!]
[Friendly reminder: Turn off the bullet comments for a better viewing experience.]
[Hes actually wearing a dragon robe. How intriguing]
[Why is the female assistant dressed as a eunuch? Dislike!]
[Its okay. I can even get off from watching Animal Planet.]
[Give some attention to the brother above.]
[Strongly recommend you review a Dual-vector Foil]
After waiting for 20 seconds, the number of viewers finally broke past the three million mark. At this time, Chen Yu also began his opening remarks.
Good morning, friends in the livestream rooms. Another month has gone by. Welcome, everyone, to Transdimensional Reviews sixth official livestream!
Due to some complications, the stream had to be delayed by more than 10 minutes. I hope everyone can forgive me for this.
Todays review product is similarly massive, so we will skip the unboxing session, and you can see the products majesty straight away.
After saying so, Chen Yu had the floating camera zoom out to capture a full view of the behemoths 300-meter-long body.
Under the sun, the silver train looked dazzling. It completely obscured the brilliance of the snow, and it was very conspicuous.
The two ends of the train tapered into smooth and elegant arcs. Its existence was a combination of technology and art. Its appearance made it difficult to shift ones eyes away from it.
[Crap! Is this a future high-speed train?!]
[100% its a train!]
[UP, youre finally going into transportation? When will you review a spacecraft?]
[I have a masters degree in aerodynamics. After a detailed analysis, I believe this thing should be a roller coaster.]
[Its not a train. There are no tracks.]
[My tank can move on the motorway, so what?]
[Huaqiangbei has entered the livestream room.]
Bullet comments flooded the five livestream rooms at the sight of the train.
After retracting the camera, Chen Yu set it to the auto-follow mode and approached the train. Like you guys, I also think this is a train. Its shape is similar to modern high-speed trains. However, whether it is one or not, well have to enter it to find out.
Moreover, even if it is a train, I am curious to find out how it moves. From my current perspective, I can see that it indeed doesnt possess any wheels. If this product really is a train, yet the manufacturer didnt supply me with any railsthen we mightve been scammed.
Walking up the steps and arriving before the trains door, Chen Yu tentatively reached out and touched the black glass.
Buzz
The glass instantly brightened and transformed into a large screen with superb picture quality!
There were many options on the screen. After briefly inspecting the options, Chen Yu pressed down on the Open Door icon.
Whoosh
A pleasant aeroacoustic sound appeared as the door moved upwards. A moment later, the door slid to the left, revealing the technological environment inside.
Thisis quite high-end!
As Chen Yu reached out to touch the brown carpet on the ground, he subconsciously kicked off the snow on his feet before stepping onto the train.
The inside was quite spacious, and it didnt give off a cramped feeling.
As he walked to the trains midsection, his eyes glowed as he observed his surroundings.
Friends, I think I know what this thing is
As Chen Yu said so, he redirected the camera to capture the trains top-left corner, revealing the two lines of small red letters to his livestreams three million viewers
[Vacuum Tube Maglev TrainProduced by the China Railway Construction Corporation!]
Chapter 186 - Sixth Official Livestream! (3)
Chapter 186 C Sixth Official Livestream! (3)
Vacuum Tube Maglev Train
Pointing at the text, Chen Yu read, Produced by the China Railway Construction Corporation in 2150.
[Its really a train!]
[Awesome!]
[There are another hundred or so years to go. My son will be able to ride it! Im happy!]
[All hail China.]
[This prosperous age is like a wish]
[I know its a Vacuum Tube Maglev Train, but wheres the tube?]
[Wheres the tube?]
[Wheres the tube? +250]
It seems that everyones guess is correct. Facing the camera, Chen Yu spread his arms and said, The review product for this episode is really a train. Moreover, it is the rumored Vacuum Tube Maglev Train. Now, the problem is
Wheres the tube?
After turning around to close the train door, Chen Yu walked deeper into the train while explaining, If it is merely a simple means of transportation, then I can announce that todays livestream is a bust. However, as far as I know, it is actually a piece of industrial equipment similar to the island-building ship.
Combined with the name we just saw, we should be able to infer what this product is for.
Stopping his footsteps, Chen Yu turned around to look at the camera and calmly said, Aside from functioning as a maglev train, it is highly likely that this product is also an engineering vehicle capable of constructing the maglev train pipelines.
If my guess is correct, then everyone will get to see a far more shocking construction scene than when we reviewed the island-building ship.
While saying so, Chen Yu continued moving forward. The trains control room should be at the front of the train. Well return to it later. For now, well see what the rest of the train compartments looks like.
Under the cameras recording, Chen Yu arrived at the end of the first carriage and opened the hatch.
This should be the living area for the train captain and staff members. The decoration here is more luxurious, and the carpet is softer.
After entering the second carriage, Chen Yu narrated his observation, The inner width of this carriage is nearly 30 meters, and the height should be 10 meters. I have a difficult time associating this thing with the train carriages I know of. Even a basketball court only has a width of 15 meters. This carriage is basically a combination of two basketball courts.
As you can see, there are several bedrooms in this carriage, and the front of the carriage seems to be a living room. Theres also a kitchen area here plus several bathrooms. If you follow this staircase here, you can even go up to the second floor
Walking up to the second floor, Chen Yu crossed a fitness area and pushed open a glass door. Immediately, a bright light assaulted his eyes.
Damn. They actually used up such a large space for a swimming pool
[You call this a train?]
[I suspect this is an entertainment club.]
[A swimming pool on a train. Goddamn]
[People in the future really know how to live]
[Im a train driver. I want to cry now.]
[Host, are you still in Beijing? Im almost there! My train just left Inner Mongolia!]
[Jealousy, makes me infertile.]
Approaching the pool, Chen Yu crouched down and visually measured its depth. He then exclaimed, The depth is roughly 2.5 meters. You really can do whatever you want if you have sufficient space.
As everyone can see, this carriage should be the living quarters of the crew. There isnt much to see here, so lets go to the third carriage.
Going back downstairs, Chen Yu walked through a long aisle and arrived at the end of the carriage. Just as he was about to hatch, an alarm going Beep! Beep! suddenly rang out.
[The passenger compartment has yet to be unfolded. Entry prohibited.]
Seeing the text prompt flashing across the door, Chen Yu stepped back in hesitation. There is a passenger compartment beyond this, but it hasnt been unfolded yet, so we cant go in. Once this train fully unfolds, just how long will it become? Combined with its 30-meter-width
I suspect it can carry an entire towns worth of people on it. Amazing.
After sighing in admiration, Chen Yu turned around and walked through the first and second carriages. He then entered the corridor leading to the maglev trains cab.
Unlike the living quarters, the corridor was very narrow. Its width did not exceed two meters, and thick metal walls flanked both sides of the pathway. The ceiling was also only three meters high. It was a sharp contrast to the spacious living quarters.
Chen Yu actually felt slightly uncomfortable walking through this narrow corridor.
The corridor extended for at least 15 meters, and it ended at a sealed door. After pushing open the door, Chen Yu finally entered the maglev trains cab.
The space in the cab was slightly smaller than that of the living quarters. However, it lacked the various rooms found in the living quarters. It was just one big hall, so it looked much more spacious than the two carriages he visited before.
What was even more surprising was that the cabs ceiling was actually made of a single pane of glass. The glass allowed one to have a clear view of the outside environment.
Previously, the windshield that Chen Yu and Little Peach looked through was also part of this glass panel.
Viewers in front of the screen, this is the drivers compartment. This place really gives off a technological feeling.
Stepping to the front of the cab, Chen Yu looked around and said, This place is so high-tech that I cant even see any instrument panels or control panels.
Fortunately, I found it
The camera angle shifted, and a familiar crystal ball simultaneously appeared in the eyes of four million viewersCan artificial intelligence access key!
It just so happens I didnt show everyone the whole artificial intelligence binding process during the island-building ships livestream. Lets make up for the missed opportunity now.
After saying so, Chen Yu quickly approached the crystal ball and placed his hand on the oval sphere.
Buzz!
The next moment, the crystal ball lit up with a silver glow. A virtual image composed of the characters and ˡ then appeared.
It was none other than the China Railway Constructions logo!
[Its really China Railway Construction!]
[Awesome!]
[This belongs to the railway corporation! We cant let UP bind with it!]
[Thats right. It still isnt too late to grab it.]
[Toss some nukes! The train is ours once we blow up the host!]

You are currently using the Maglev General Construction Level 3 Engineering Vehicle, which was produced by the China Railway Construction Corporation in 2150. Please name your auxiliary system.
Hearing the electronically synthesized voice, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before answering, Dimwit.
Little Peach, who was originally looking around the cab in excitement, suddenly froze.
For some reason, she felt this name held ill intentions toward her
Naming successful.
After 10 seconds passed, the logo inside the crystal ball changed into the figure of a human.
Hello, sir. I am Dimwit. Please set your authority. Authority levels are divided into operation level and work level.
Set it to the highest authority.
Operation levelChief Conductors authority. Please confirm.
Confirm.
Please open your eyes and let Dimwit collect your iris data.
After going through a few simple procedures, Chen Yu successfully bound himself with the highest authority, solidifying his ownership over this product.
Similar to the island-building ship, well have the AI give us a detailed explanation of the product, Chen Yu said as he directed the camera toward the crystal ball. Dimwit, start the introduction.
Yes, Chief Conductor.
A moment later, several images and videos appeared out of thin air. The electronically synthesized voice also echoed throughout the hall.
The Maglev General Construction Level 3 Engineering Vehicle is a full-featured maglev train that combines construction, maintenance, and transportation. It is mass-produced by the Railway Construction Corporation in 2150. While in the construction and maintenance modes, the vehicles full length is 294 meters, width is 29.43 meters, and height is 9.6 meters.
When in transportation mode, the vehicles full length is 950 meters, and it can carry up to 8,800 passengers. Its base speed is 5,000 kilometers per hour, the engine propulsion acceleration is 9,000 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed is 14,000 kilometers per hour.
Although the artificial intelligences introduction was still on-going, Chen Yu and the livestreams four million viewers had long since become dumbfounded
Chapter 187 - Shocking Construction Plan
Chapter 187 C Shocking Construction Plan
[Is this AI bugged?]
[A top speed of 14,000km/h]
[Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!]
[How scary]
[Newton: China isnt under my control.]
[Whats our target? Railway Construction: Beyond the speed of light!]
[Theres no way this speed is achievable, right?]
[Isnt the theoretical top speed of maglev trains 4,000km/h?]
[Logic doesnt work in Transdimensional Reviews channel.]
[Rather than the trains speed, shouldnt we pay more attention to its construction capabilities?]
Amidst the hustle and bustle in the bullet comment section, the trains AI completed the introductions first phase and had begun the second phase.
When in construction mode, the vehicles length will shrink to 294 meters. The construction process is split into four steps, of which the first two will be conducted simultaneously.
One: The threaded carbon alloy drill bit will be activated, and it will be used to drill an 18-meter-radius hole underground. The recommended depth is 750 to 1,200 meters below sea level.
Two: The soil and rock collected by the drill bit will be compressed under high pressure. The compressed debris will then be expanded by the front bezel to form a temporary vacuum pipeline to prevent soil from refilling the tunnel.
Three: After the temporary vacuum pipeline is constructed, insert the necessary amounts of iron, copper, gold, manganese, zinc, and twelve other metals and rare-earth metals into the material reserve compartment. These materials will then be used to strengthen and lay tracks on the temporary pipeline.
Four: Ultra-high pressure air pumps that are connected with the surface will be constructed at intervals of 200 kilometers
The explanation of the train AI was monotonous and complicated. However, with the help of pictures and videos, Chen Yu and the livestreams audience were still able to get a general understanding of the vacuum pipelines construction process.
Overall, the process wasnt very complicated. The only part that Chen Yu took note of was the third stepinserting the necessary amounts of iron, copper, gold, and other metals and rare-earth metals.
Procuring these materials would be a challenging endeavor for Chen Yu. However, if he didnt have these materials, he wouldnt be able to complete the maglev trains vacuum pipeline.
After silently pondering, Chen Yu touched the crystal ball and paused the AIs introduction. He then looked toward the camera and said, Government officials, Im sure you guys are watching the stream, so you shouldve heard what the AI just said. I require large amounts of metals to construct the vacuum pipeline. So, to let the review progress smoothly, lets make a deal.
After saying so, Chen Yu walked to the right side of the hall and sat on a leather sofa. Crossing his legs, he continued, I think this transaction is beneficial to both of us. The transactions content is simple. You guys will provide me the materials and venue needed for the review, while I will construct a vacuum pipeline with a speed limit of 5,000 kilometers per hour for you.
My current location is Beijing. Um
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu snapped his fingers and said, Lets head to Shanghai. The distance between Beijing and Shanghai is over a thousand kilometers. Once the construction is completed, Ill lease this 22nd-century maglev train to the government for free. Of course, its ownership will remain with me. What do you think of this transaction?
As soon as Chen Yu was done speaking, the bullet comment section of the five livestream rooms immediately exploded.
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[I need to drink some dichlorvos to calm down.]
[Government: ???]
[Heaven-sent fortune.]
[UP, youre the ruler of the world!]
[If it really is opened to the public, we can ride on it as well.]
[Seeking to find out the psychological state of the various countries right now, lololol]
[As a blind person, Im very excited to see this scene.]
[As soon as this route is opened]
At the same time, inside the special situation teams office in Beijing
Bang!
The middle-aged team leader slammed his palms onto the conference table, his face flushed with excitement. Even his body was shivering uncontrollably.
Anyone could easily estimate the value of a route with a speed limit of 5,000 kilometers per hour.
This was especially true if this route led from Beijing to Shanghai!
In the world of economics, there was a term called economic externality. It referred to a cost or benefit caused by a producer not financially incurred or received by that producer.
Meanwhile, if an externality generated a beneficial effect, then it would be called a positive externality. Naturally, if an adverse effect was caused, it would be considered a negative externality.
Meanwhile, transportation, particularly the construction of railways, was a typical economic behavior with major externalities.
If one expanded their view to the whole world, they would find that any countrys development trend was directly proportional to the development of their transportation systems. Meanwhile, the fewer hindrances there were in a transportation system, the greater the positive externality generated would be.
On a smaller scale, an improved transportation system would increase the countrys GDP. On a larger scale, an improved transportation system could even drive the countrys overall economy, technology, production, industry, culture, construction, population and employment flows, and international influence.
These positive externalities were incalculable and immeasurable
This was also why China had been constructing railway systems for the past several decades, regardless of the losses incurred.
These lifeless railways were the pillars supporting the entire country.
Now, however, a maglev train capable of traveling at a speed of 5,000 kilometers per hour and carrying up to 8,000 passengers had just fallen into the countrys lap from the sky
With shaking hands, the middle-aged team leader pulled out his pill box and gulped down three pills. He then took deep breaths to calm himself.
Once the maglev train was in operation, even if they ignored the tangible benefits it could bring and only used it purely for research, the results they could obtain would still be enough to revolutionize the development of science and technology. This was especially true for the development of materials science.
Although it would be incredibly difficult to reverse engineer the maglev train, even if they made a small step toward recreating the technology, it would still be considered an enormous harvest.
Besides the two points mentioned above, Chen Yus behavior could be considered a major breakthrough for the government.
One minute later, the middle-aged team leader calmed down, picked up his communicator, and stepped out of the conference room.
He was going to contact his superior.
Under the escort of four security guards, he arrived in an isolated room. Before he could even make the call, however, his communicator rang.
The team leaders spirit tensed up as he hurriedly connected the call.
Coordinate with all of Target As actions! Ive already made the necessary arrangements on Shanghais side. Coordinate with the analysis department to plan out a route and send it to Target A.
Understood!
They were in a critical period now, so both sides conducted their call clearly and concisely.
After concluding the call, the middle-aged team leader returned to the conference room. Seeing that everyone in the room still remained in a daze, he loudly said, Staff teams one, two, three, four, and five are to halt all current tasks. I want an underground route going from Beijing to Shanghai planned in three minutes.
Yes, sir!
Sweat started soaking Big Sis Wus forehead as she quickly tapped her fingers across her customized tablet.
Contact the railway department. Have them send all railway and high-speed railway maps to the staff teams for reference.
Leader, your authorization.
After completing the authorization, the middle-aged team leader continued, Notify the field teams closest to Transdimensional Review. Have them carry wireless fax machines and head to Lotus Mountain Forest Park now! They must arrive within 10 minutes!
Yes, sir.
Block all foreign communication from now on. That includes the Observer Foundation as well.
Yes, sir.
Notify the 224th Army in the north and have them enter a state of emergency. Make sure theyre ready to cooperate with the Special Situations Office at any time. Relay this message to the higher-ups as well. Once the authorization key has been released, transfer it to my personal communicator. I want to contact the 224th Army.
Leader, your authorization
At this moment, many government agencies were operating at frighteningly high efficiency.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu stood up from the sofa and approached the crystal ball. He then reached out to the crystal ball while saying, It should take some time for the government to make a response. Since Im free right now, lets start the engineering vehicle.
Dimwit, start the vehicle.
Starting. Please hold on, Chief Conductor.
Three seconds after the train AI responded, the two headlights at the front of the train lit up and shined forward like laser beams
Chapter 188 - Onward to Greatness!
Chapter 188 C Onward to Greatness!
Train activation completed.
As soon as the trains AI made this announcement, the two headlights on the front of the vehicle lit up.
Simultaneously, numerous virtual projections also appeared inside the cab. These projections displayed various images and data that Chen Yu could not understand.
Taking a seat on the conductors seat, Chen Yu looked at the screens and joysticks on his sides. He then asked, Is there no steering wheel or accelerator?
The whole train is operated by touch, the AI replied with its electronically synthesized voice.
Tell me how to operate it.
Do you wish to operate in manual mode or smart mode?
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu said, Ill have a better sense of control in manual mode, so introduce the manual mode first.
Yes, Chief Conductor. The Maglev General Construction Level 3 Engineering Vehicle is divided into two sets of operating systems. While in transportation mode, the train moves via electrodynamic suspension (EDS). Firstly, the superconductor at the bottom of each car will be cooled. The cooled superconductors will then interact with the electromagnetic track to form a strong magnetic field. Simultaneously, the artificial intelligence will control the extra-long stator synchronous linear motor to complete the energization of the three-phase stator windings, generating a moving magnetic field that
While explaining, the AI Dimwit had even thoughtfully displayed a dynamic video.
The video showed a diagram of a long-stator synchronous linear motors working principle. The complicated circuit and wire diagram were written with many professional terms such as pole pitch, stator lamination, stator winding, linear generator winding, excitation winding, etc.
The videos detailedness made it seem as if the AI was afraid Chen Yu couldnt understand its explanation.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu thoughtfully crossed his legs and maintained the posture of a wise man. He would sometimes fall into deep thought, sometimes nod, sometimes pinch his chin, and sometimes slide his finger across the crystal ball
Because of the large number of motor stages, take the number of slots per pole per phase q=1; To facilitate the arrangement of the windings
Since the number of slots per pole per phase is q=1, the uniform air gap is adopted, and the harmonic magnetomotive force of the stator teeth is relatively large, the conductor should pay attention to the current density and the numerical change of the rated voltage and rated current of the excitation device when applying power
Standard calculation example: A maglev train has a length of 23.32 meters, a total weight of 107.6T, an ultra-low speed stage of 400 kilometers per hour, and a running resistance of 60.22kN
The parameter values calculated so far are: At 75 degrees Celsius and 215Hz frequency, the stator resistance of each phase of the 300M power supply section is 0.2886, and the stator leakage reactance is 21
[What? What? What?]
[What is it talking about?]
[Wonderful. This is too exciting.]
[Demon]
[Dont understand. Skip it.]
[I get the feeling that UPs reviews are becoming more and more unfriendly.]
[Most of it is middle school mathematics, yet you guys actually dont understand it?]
[Isnt it elementary school mathematics?]
[Looking at the hosts thoughtful appearance, he must understand the explanation.]
[Duh. Anyone that reviews technology should be full of professional knowledge.]
[Awesome]
[Awesome+1.]
Five minutes later, the introduction of the complex control principles and control methods finally ended.
Turning to look at Little Peach, Chen Yu asked, Did you understand the explanation?
Huh? Little Peach replied with a blank look.
Hah
Sighing, Chen Yu stood up and patted Little Peach on her shoulder. You cant always think about having fun. You should learn more knowledge. Listen to the explanation a few more times and try to operate the train. Im going out to get some air.
After saying so, Chen Yu patted the non-existent dust off his dragon clothes. He then walked out of the cab with his hands on his back, leaving the camera hovering inside the cab.
After entering the living area and answering natures call, Chen Yu laid on a sofa and rested for five minutes. Guessing that the governments people should be arriving soon, he got up and returned to the cab.
At this time, Little Peach was still listening to the AIs explanation with dumbfounded eyes.
Do you understand now? Chen Yu asked.
Huh? Little Peach responded with a blank look.
Forget it. This knowledge is still too profound for you. Take it slowly, Chen Yu said as he waved his hand. He then faced the camera and said, Its been over a dozen minutes already. Lets stop this engineering vehicles introduction here. Next, well start the actual operation and review.
After saying so, Chen Yu approached the giant windshield and stared out of it. Immediately, he noticed a bunch of police vehicles, helicopters, and camouflage jeeps parked outside the train.
As Chen Yu wasnt wearing the protective suit, he couldnt casually expose himself to the outside world. Turning to Little Peach, he instructed, Head outside and find the person in charge. Bring me the letter of intent and whatever else they brought.
Okay! Little Peach nodded and trotted out of the cab. After exiting the train through the first carriage, she placed her hands on her hips as she stood on the snowy ground. Whos in charge?
Its me! Its me! Im in charge here for the time being! A young man hurriedly came running over at Little Peachs question. After nodding in salutations, he greeted, Hello, Madam.
I am now Gonggong[1], Little Peach said as she pointed at her eunuch uniform.
G-Gonggong the youth responded in surprise.
Mhm. Do you have anything to give me?
As the youth looked at the girl, who didnt seem particularly smart, he thought to make some polite conversation. However, when he recalled the order given by his superior, he promptly held himself back and handed over the small box in his hands. We are very thankful for Mr. Kings cooperation to benefit the country and the people. Please relay our gratitude to Mr. King. The whole of China will unconditionally support his maglev construction plan.
Okay, Ill pass it on. Accepting the box with one hand, Little Peach waved her other hand at the young man before returning to the train.
Hu
Meanwhile, the young man breathed out a sigh of relief before taking a few steps back. As he admired the engineering vehicle before him, he could not help but smack his lips in envy
My King, for you.
Mhm.
After accepting the box from Little Peach, Chen Yu turned away from the camera.
When he removed the boxs lid, the first thing he saw was a handwritten thank-you letter with many stamps at the end of it.
After carefully reading the letter once, he set it aside and picked up the folder inside the box.
Tear!
Opening the seal, Chen Yu pulled out stack after stack of documents. He found that these documents were detailed construction plans that included the sites selected, geological structure of the chosen route, difficulty of excavation, etc.
There were three road maps, and Chen Yu was recommended to use them for reference.
After earnestly studying the documents, Chen Yu chose the second road map, which started from Beijings Changping and ended at Shanghais Qingpu. The route was a straight line that had no transit stations planned along the way.
After making his decision, Chen Yu returned the lid onto the box and picked up the road map he selected. Sitting down at the conductors seat, he loudly said, Dimwit.
Im here.
Activate smart mode and head to Beijings Changping District.
Im sorry, but your target location isnt recognized. Please manually select the destinations coordinates.
Immediately, a virtual projection that measured half a meter wide appeared before Chen Yu. The projection showed a flat two-dimensional map.
After observing the map for a while, Chen Yu found his desired location. He then tapped on a point in Changping District.
Planning route.
Route planning completed. Vehicle has deviated from the route. Making corrections.
Boom
Accompanied by loud rumbling sounds, the 300-meter behemoth started vibrating.
Everyone outside the train could feel the numbing vibrations through the soles of their feet.
This was the power of machinery and technology
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Half a minute later, rows of caterpillar tracks emerged from the trains flat bottom and dug the ground.
These tracks had sharp spikes to enhance their friction with the ground. Inside the tracks, there were driving wheels, track rollers, guide wheels, and sprockets.
At this point, the engineering vehicle looked more like a tank than a train.
Creak Creak Creak
The massive vehicle slowly moved forward under the power of countless driving wheels. And as the thorny tracks rubbed against the snow, they generated a strange noise that numbed ones scalp.
Thisis also a weapon, right? the young man mumbled to himself as he looked at the metal behemoth before him.
Meanwhile, inside the trains cab, Chen Yu excitedly rubbed his palms together when he sensed the train moving. Pointing forward, he commanded, Accelerate! Onward to greatness!
Chapter 189 - Maglev Vacuum Pipeline Construction
Chapter 189 C Maglev Vacuum Pipeline Construction
Beijing, Yiping Road:
A migrant worker carrying his luggage walked along the sidewalk while observing his surroundings.
After arriving before a launderette, the migrant stopped and looked at the old man eating noodles by the entrance. He then asked, Is this Yiping Road?
What road? The old man looked up and squinted.
Yiping Road?
What did you say?
Yiping Road! the migrant shouted.
Oh, this is Yiping Road, the old man answered in a blur. After swallowing the noodles in his mouth, he asked, What are you shouting for?
Thank you, old man, the migrant said, massaging his throat. Just as he was about to continue walking, he suddenly thought of something. Turning around, he asked, Old man, why arent there any cars on this road?
What?
I asked! Why are there no cars on this road!
What nonsense are you spouting? Standing up, the old man pointed at the road beyond the barricaded sidewalk and said, Arent those allhuh? Where are the cars?
Thats right. Shrugging, the migrant said, Where are the cars? I came from Erping Road, yet aside from the cars parked on the roadsides, I didnt see any other cars.
Impossible! The old man set down his bowl of noodles and put on his coat. He then walked up to the roadside and looked around, saying, The traffic here is normally horrendous here. Why isnt there a single car here today?
Boom Boom Boom
At this time, a faint roar came from the end of the road.
The two men immediately looked toward the source, and what entered their eyes was a vague shadow slowly approaching their direction.
Whats that? the migrant asked in shock.
Oh. In contrast, the old man waved his hand indifferently and sat back on his seat. Picking up his bowl of noodles, he revealed, Its a cargo truck.
A cargo truck?
Mhm. Otherwise, why would they seal the road?
As the engine roar grew increasingly louder, more and more pedestrians and shopkeepers gathered by the roadside to spectate the commotion.
The migrant mans eyesight was excellent. As the shadow gradually grew in size, he felt that something was amiss. O-Old man, are the cargo trucks here shaped like a road roller?
Road roller?
C-Come take a look
The old man set down his bowl once more and skeptically walked onto the sidewalk. As soon as he turned to look at the supposed cargo truck, however, he immediately gaped in shock.
Currently, five police cars and several dozen motorcycles were sounding their sirens as they drove the surrounding onlookers away from the road. Meanwhile, behind these numerous vehicles was a 10-meter-tall and 30-meter-wide train. The train was wider than even the road it moved on, so as it moved through the street, it also crushed the flower beds, street lights, advertisement signs, and trees found on the sidewalks
As expected of the capital! the migrant exclaimed. Even the trains here can move on roads!
As for the old man, his eyes were close to falling out of their sockets at this point.
Move away! Everyone move away! Keep your distance! The police officers riding on the motorcycles shouted at the bewildered onlookers with loudspeakers. Everyone step back! Keep your distance!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Move away!
Boom Boom Boom
The earth shook.
The windows of the roadside buildings trembled.
The police officers also chased the old man and the migrant worker off the sidewalk. After retreating into the laundrette, the two stared at the towering train as it drove past the shop.
Boom Boom
A minute later, the train finally moved past the shop, allowing sunlight to return to the building.
Now, though, only crushed asphalt and bricks remained of the sidewalk
Inside the maglev train, Chen Yu sat on the conductors seat as he looked down at the dozens of ants moving in front of the train. Turning to the camera, he explained, Viewers, please dont misunderstand. I didnt choose this narrow road because I wanted to. Instead, I had no choice but to choose this road. With its 300-meter length, the train can only afford to move in a straight line. If I force it to make a turn, it will definitely crush the corner buildings.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the train smashed through a flyover, turning into ruins.
Fortunately, the governments engineering teams had long since set up partitions on both sides of the street, preventing any of the debris from damaging the nearby buildings.
As for the various vehicles parked on the roadside, the ones that could be towed away had long since been moved. As for the ones that couldnt be hauled away, the engineering teams could only record these vehicles and make compensations afterward.
After all, compared to the value of a vacuum maglev train, these minor economic losses were insignificant
[The power of the future really is frightening.]
[Scary.]
[Scary. +1]
[Is there anyone here present on the scene?]
[The areas been put on lockdown. I cant enter.]
[Im at the scene. I just got run over by the tracks. It felt quite good. For now, though, Im going into hiding.]
[Im here as well! Its very shocking! The only thing I dont like is the loud noise it makes.]
My King, why dont you drive it manually? Little Peach hesitantly asked.
Well, the smart driving mode gives off a more technological feeling. Dont forget that our main goal is to evaluate products. Were not here to show off our skills, Chen Yu explained with an earnest look on his face.
Oh. Little Peach nodded in realization.
Were less than 10 kilometers away from the destination now. Picking up the drawing before him, Chen Yu switched topics and said, Well arrive in another six or seven minutes. Friends before the screen, you can perk up your spirits now.
Standing up, Chen Yu leaned against the windshield and looked up at the several helicopters hovering above the train. After doing some mental calculations, he suddenly said, As todays product is somewhat special, I am prepared to split the reviewing process into two segments.
The first segment will be a review on the maglev trains construction capabilities, including the excavation process and construction of the vacuum pipeline. According to the AIs introduction, with the Level 3 Engineering Vehicles work efficiency, we should be able to conclude this process within half a day.
For the second segment, after the pipelines construction is completed, Ill select some viewers from the livestream to experience the trains interior. Ill first transport you from Shanghai to Beijing, and then return from Beijing to Shanghai thirty minutes later.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his hand and showed off the road map to the camera. For those who are interested and have the courage, you can line up at this point ahead of time. I will only accept the first thousand participants. Government officials watching the stream, I will leave the planning of this activity to you. You can regard this as an opening ceremony for the maglev train.
Just by opening his mouth a few times, Chen Yu had created a complicated and heavy task. He had even casually shrugged all responsibilities to the government
Boom Boom Boom
Amidst the ear-splitting roar, the General Construction Engineering Vehicle finally arrived at its destination.
The location chosen as the vacuum pipelines starting point was a spacious construction site found in Changping District. According to the Green the Capital plan, a large park was supposed to be constructed here. After today, however, this place would become the first vacuum maglev train station in human history.
Activating the trains loudspeaker function, Chen Yu shouted at the workers and vehicles outside the train, Im going to start digging now! Everyone step away! The further, the better!
Immediately, the police officers and vehicles hurriedly distanced themselves from the train. They have had enough of the noise produced by the train.
Dimwit, start the excavation mode.
Yes, Chief Conductor. Excavation mode has been activated
Boom!
The entire train suddenly shook, and waves of heat started radiating from the vehicle. Like the rising air in summer, the surrounding space distorted.
Immediately afterward, the smooth front of the train folded apart, revealing a gigantic drill bit inside.
Once the conical drill bit was fully exposed, it started unfolding and continuously expanded in size. Eventually, the drill bit became so large that it blocked off the entire windshield.
Swish Swish, swish, swish
In the next moment, the drill bit started rotating, its speed growing increasingly faster. At some point, even the sound of air being torn could be heard.
Do you wish to proceed with the planned route?
As the electronically synthesized voice played out, a virtual projection displaying two options appeared before Chen Yu.
Yes/No.
Well, then. Friends, the construction of the maglev trains vacuum pipeline
Pausing momentarily, Chen Yu raised a finger before the camera before quickly pressing down on the Yes option.
Will now begin!
Chapter 190 - Maglev Train in Operation! (1)
Chapter 190 C Maglev Train in Operation! (1)
Vroom! Vroom, vroom!
The threaded drill rotated exceptionally quickly, and it generated an ear-piercing screech as it cut through the air. Despite having retreated several hundred meters, the police offers were still pushed back by the generated wind.
Vroom, vroom!
Vroom, vroom, vroom
At this time, one of the police officers squatting behind a police car held down his fluttering coat. He then looked toward his colleague beside him, Brother Zhang, this guys been spinning for over five minutes now. Why hasnt it started digging?
Its advanced technology. You wouldnt understand. the police officer referred to as Brother Zhang said. Squinting his eyes, he confidently declared, Its obviously warming up.
Its already plenty hot. Even the surrounding snow has melted.
That means it isnt hot enough.
Vroom, vroom
After another two minutes had gone by, the drill bits rotation actually started slowing to a halt.
All of a sudden, an uncomfortable silence enveloped the construction site.
What happened?
It stopped spinning?
Is it out of fuel?
Amidst the police officers discussion, Chen Yus voice suddenly came from the maglev train. Hello? Friends outside, can you find me a few excavators? This broken things drill cant reach the ground.
Everyone:
Seven minutes later, the person in charge of the scene secured five excavators from a nearby road maintenance site. They then began creating an elevated mound before the train.
Inside the train, Chen Yu awkwardly faced the camera and said, What a waste of time. Even after raising the first carriages tracks to their maximum height, the drill bit at the front still cant penetrate into the ground. However, this isnt my fault. Theres nothing wrong with the machines operation either. Its this vehicles design flaw.
In response to Chen Yus words, the train AI said, Chief Conductor, while in smart mode, the carriages angle adjustment is limited. You can perform a manual operation to further raise the angle.
Stop spouting nonsense. Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, Whether I operate the train in smart or manual mode isnt the problem. The problem lies in your design.
While in smart mode, to ensure safety, the carriages angle adjustment is limited. Please perform a manual operation, the AI repeated.
King. Raising her hand, Little Peach suggested, Why dont you just do it manually?
No! Chen Yu sternly refused. We are a review agency. We are obliged to point out any problems we find. If we rely on manual operation every time we come across a problem, for what reason would we need this smart mode for?
Oh! Little Peach nodded in realization. So, thats the reason.
Chief Conductor, while in smart mode, to ensure-
You keep quiet!
Yes, Chief Conductor.
Under the gaze of over four million viewers, Chen Yu thoroughly demonstrated a professional reviewers standards and persistence.
Bang! Bang!
Roughly a dozen minutes later, an excavator knocked twice on the trains windshield with its claw, indicating that the elevation work had been completed.
Chen Yu then opened the communication system and shouted, Thank you very much. Now, please retreat as far away as possible.
After waiting for the five excavators to move to a suitable distance, Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch while saying, During the construction process, itll be more interesting to watch the trains outside than inside. So, to let everyone have an intuitive and shocking experience, Ill have the camera remain outside. That way, youll get to witness the whole construction process.
After saying so, Chen Yu flew the camera out of the train. He then instructed the trains AI to move the train up the newly-formed dirt mound and point the drill bit downward. Immediately afterward, Chen Yu resumed the excavation operation.
Whoosh Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As the carbon alloy drill started spinning again, sweltering heat waves and strong winds began assaulting the surrounding area once more.
Set off!
Vroom
The elevation of the first carriages tracks increased, which further increased the cabs vertical angle. And as the whole vehicle slowly moved forward, the sharp threaded drill finally touched the ground.
Boom!!!
In the next moment, the drill bit easily cracked and tore through the ground.
[Oh~ Crap!]
[Sparks are flying.]
[Even my phone is vibrating.]
[Amazing!]
[Im just outside the construction site. My feet have gone numb from all the vibrations.]
[Mechanical Engineering is a true mans romance!]
[Wrong! Its the happiness of rich women!]
[Rich womens happiness+1!]
[Rich womens happiness+2!]
[I dont want to watch the construction! I want to look at the female assistant!]
[The female assistant dressed as a eunuch today]
Accompanied by the echoing roars of the drill, ton after ton of soil and gravel were drawn into the receiving port found at the trains front. When subjected to the high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the receiving port, the collected soil and gravel turned into a soft, semi-solid substance.
Meanwhile, at the same time as the threaded drill bit penetrated the ground, the dragging force the drill generated with the surrounding soil also significantly accelerated the engineering vehicles penetration speed.
Combined with the driving force generated by the caterpillar tracks, the 300-meter train quickly disappeared into the ground, leaving behind a hole with an 18-meter radius.
As for the camera floating outside, after remaining suspended in the air for a few seconds, it also swiftly entered the tunnel.
The inside of the tunnel wasnt completely dark.
The reason for this was because of the processed soil the train had smeared on the tunnel walls. As the processed earth had yet to cool down, it looked very much like magma and radiated a reddish glow.
Boom Boom Boom
By the time the camera entered the tunnel, the train was nowhere to be found already. However, the intense vibrations and roaring sound it generated still echoed in the livestream rooms.
Under Chen Yus manipulation, the camera slowly advanced through the tunnel, letting the livestreams viewers get a detailed view of the pseudo-vacuum pipelines structure.
For every 300 meters it traveled, the train would also erect a cylindrical pillar in the middle of the pipeline. These pillars served as a support to counteract the pressure the pipeline walls were subjected to.
Whoosh
After showcasing the pipelines internal structure for several minutes, the camera shot forth with frightening speed as it tried to catch up with the train. The camera moved so quickly that the scene displayed in the livestream rooms was tainted in a red glow
This was a result of the lens heating up due to its friction with the air.
[So fast! So hot! Ah!]
[??]
[???]
[The cameras moving so fast that I cant see anything clearly.]
[I already said the cameraman is the best.]
[Ive seen the host in person before. I think its some kind of invisible camera.]
[The camera can become invisible?!]
[What? It can turn invisible?]
[I suddenly have a bold idea]
After another 10 seconds passed by, the camera finally caught up with the engineering vehicle. At the same time, everyone was finally able to see the vacuum pipelines entire construction process.
Simply put, there were only three steps.
Step one: Digging through the earth. The drill bit would dig through the ground and collect the loosened soil and gravel into a circular container found in the middle of the cab.
Step two: Making the pipeline. Once the soil and gravel entered the container, they would be quickly melted into a semi-solid state under high temperature and pressure. The molten substance semi-solid substance would then be squeezed out like toothpaste through the thousands of diffusion holes at the containers back.
Step three: Expanding the pipeline. Once the extruded semi-solid substance stuck to the tunnel walls, the expanded bezels at the trains rear would then further compress the semi-solid substance. In doing so, the semi-solid substance would be transformed into a tubular structure that was perfectly integrated with the tunnel walls.
Once the engineering vehicle completed these three processes, it would leave a fairly stable pipeline behind it.
Meanwhile, inside the train cab
Chen Yu carefully observed the virtual road map displayed before him. He then said to his watch, Were currently 1,000 meters below sea level, and our travel speed is 520 kilometers per hour. Were moving much faster than even a high-speed train. With this digging efficiency, if nothing unexpected occurs
We should arrive in Shanghai in two hours maximum.
The first teleportation channel in human history is about to be born.
Chapter 191 - Maglev Train in Operation! (2)
Chapter 191 C Maglev Train in Operation! (2)
Shanghai, Qingpu District, Qingpu Passenger Transport Terminals North Park:
Over a thousand police officers armed with live ammunition were currently sealing off the park, preventing unauthorized people from entering it.
Meanwhile, hundreds of engineers and government staff were busily running about doing their respective work inside the park.
It should be here.
On a basketball court inside the park, a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet repeatedly drew on a cardboard piece. Occasionally, he would also reference the data provided by his colleagues. After finalizing his calculations, he said, Yes, this is the place. Theres more than a 100-meter deviation from the original plan. Start drawing. Use red for the inner ring and white for the outer ring.
Several young students nearby immediately picked up a paint bucket at their teachers instructions and started drawing two circles around the basketball court.
How long more do you need? Isnt it time to vacate the area? Make sure no accidents happen, an old man standing beside the middle-aged man said solemnly.
Grabbing his tablet, the middle-aged man looked at the image displayed in the livestream room. Were almost done. Well vacate the area once were done drawing.
Four minutes later, the students finished drawing the warning circles. They then retreated from the park together with everyone else.
At the same time, the police officers outside the park also started dispersing the gathered crowd.
The virtual road map Chen Yu provided showed that the maglev train would indeed arrive inside the park. However, to be on the safe side, the government team managing the operation still decided to vacate all pedestrians within a one-kilometer radius of the destination.
The surrounding roads were also blocked off completely, and all nearby buildings were told to shut their doors and windows. The areas electricity, water, and gas supplies were also cut off temporarily.
Despite the huge commotion, though, most of the gathered crowd were unaware of what was going on. They merely whispered and gossip among themselves as they looked at the governments blockade.
As for the few knowledgeable people, they continued watching Transdimensional Reviews livestream while eagerly awaiting the upcoming spectacular scene.
Why is it taking so long? I cant wait any longer.
It should only take a few more minutes. Otherwise, the police wouldnt drive us away.
Hey, I borrowed a colleagues Canon! Im going to take a good shot and keep it as a family heirloom.
On a certain elevated platform that provided an excellent view of the North Park, several office workers belonging to the same company had gathered to spectate the maglev trains arrival. They whispered with each other as they gazed at the distant park.
At this time, a young man from the same company hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and asked his colleagues, Do you guys have any money? Lend me some.
Money? What for?
I dont have any! Stop blocking my camera!
With sweat covering his forehead, the youth said, Im really in need of money right now. Lend me whatever you can now, and Ill return you twice the amount 10 days later!
Ill lend it to you once the shows over, a fat, middle-aged man said as he adjusted the binoculars in his hands. I might get to see the female assistant with my very own eyes.
Itll be too late after the shows over!
Why are you in such a hurry? Is your girlfriend pregnant? Even if thats the case, you dont need to be in such a rush, the middle-aged man leisurely said. The maglev train is going to arrive soon. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I dont have time to watch. Im leaving first.
Seeing that none of his colleagues were paying him any attention, the young man promptly turned around and left.
Huh? The middle-aged man grew perplexed at the young mans behavior. Putting down his binoculars, he fell into deep thought as he stared at the youths departing back. After a moment, the middle-aged mans complexion abruptly changed as realization dawned on him. Crap! The housing prices!
After letting out a curse, the middle-aged man threw his binoculars away and hurriedly squeezed through the spectating crowd as well. Once out of the crowd, he spread his legs as he sprinted for the nearest real estate agency.
However, by the time the middle-aged man arrived at the nearest agency, a crowd had long since formed around the shop.
Damn it! You bunch of sly bastards! The middle-aged man cursed as he slapped his thigh. Pulling out his bank card, he rushed forward while shouting, Get lost! I came here first! Leave one for me!
Boom Boom Boom
Three minutes later, the ground close to the park started trembling, causing the spectating crowd to stir.
Ten seconds later, the trembling intensified. Misunderstanding this situation to be an earthquake, those ignorant of the situation started scattering in a panic.
One second later
Boom! Boom!!
Accompanied by a thundering boom, the ground in the park abruptly shattered. Immediately afterward, a dark shadow shot out of the earth and blotted out the sky!
Boom!!!
Under the pull of gravity, the dark shadow hit the ground heavily. The resulting shockwaves caused the entire park to be enveloped in a cloud of dust.
A moment later, the world fell silent.
At this moment, whether it was those in the know or the ignorant people, everyone had their mouths hanging wide open. Even the police officers, engineers, and government officials working at the scene were no exception. As they stared at the distant dust cloud, none of them was able to make any sound.
Only after the smoke had dissipated did the spectating crowd start making noise.
What happened in the park?
I think I saw something come out of the ground?
Its too far. I cant get a clear look because of the trees.
Is it aliens?
The park exploded?
Meanwhile, the livestream viewers spectating the scene from a high vantage point cheered at this sight.
Hes here!
UP, youre awesome!
Crap! Its huge!
So scary
The drill bit is red hot.
Im at the scene! Im at the scene, ahhhh!!!
After the dust settled, police officers and staff members hurriedly surrounded the basketball court. Shock filled their eyes as they marveled at the 22nd-century engineering vehicle before them.
Inside the cab, Chen Yu tossed away the road map and stood up. He then walked up to the windshield and broadcasted his voice out of the train, Stop wasting time. Have you brought the supplies?
Outside the train, four engineers lifted a white cloth with words written using conspicuous red font. The cloth listed the amount of metals and rare earth metals they had prepared.
Ill open the cabs material compartment now. All you need to do is insert the materials I need using the garbage classification method you guys are best at.
Pshh Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of high-pressured gas being released, the metal plate located in the mid-section of the cab slid upward, exposing the material compartment inside.
Meanwhile, inside the material compartment, there were cylinders neatly arranged in a row. Each cylinder had an element symbol marked above it. The cylinders were also organized based on the amount they needed, from more to less, and from left to right: Fe, Cu, Zn, Ti, Au, Ag, Ta, Wuntil Ra.
Seeing this, the person in charge of the materials stepped forward and recorded the required metals. Afterward, he picked up his communicator and contacted the convoy stationed outside the park.
Rumble Rumble
Immediately afterward, fully-enclosed transport trucks started making their way into the park, crushing the vegetation in their way. Of the trucks entering the park, some of them were even marked with radiation symbols.
As soon as the convoy arrived, several staff members at the scene promptly gave instructions to the drivers and workers to start unloading their cargo.
Well offload the iron first! Seal the other openings!
The workers present quickly blocked off the other cylinders openings with wooden boards, leaving only the cylinder marked with Fe open. Simultaneously, over a hundred workers jumped aboard five of the trucks present and transported chunks of pure iron onto smaller trailers. The trailers would then dump the iron into the material compartment.
There were a total of three worker groups and 12 trailers. Everyone worked in turns, and their work efficiency was excellent.
Twenty minutes later, the iron cylinder was filled.
Another four minutes later, the copper cylinder was filled.
Another minute later, the gold, silver, titanium, and zinc cylinders were filled.
Another minute later, the manganese, ruthenium, and radium cylinders were filled.
Another minute later, the lanthanum, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, and erbium cylinders were filled.
The entire loading process took half an hour. Once completed, the truck convoy promptly retreated.
Apparently, the government had overestimated the engineering vehicles carrying capacity, as over half of the gathered metals still remain unused
Thank you very much. Everyone, please step back. The farther, the better.
After receiving a prompt indicating that the material compartment was full, Chen Yu called for everyone to step away and make room.
Immediately, the personnel around the train dispersed. The police officers also put up a security net to prevent staff members or bystanders from sneaking up to the train.
Psh Boom!
The material compartments lid closed, and the engineering vehicles engine restarted.
In the next moment, the front of the train became the rear, while the trains rear became the front. The spiral drill bit was also retracted back into the train. Simultaneously, the bezels at the new front expanded to form an umbrella structure.
Rumble Rumble
The train began retreating back into the tunnel. Simultaneously, pipes at the front of the train smeared the tunnel walls with a liquid made up of various metals. This liquid would then be compressed and cooled into a special alloy by the umbrella-shaped bezels.
Meanwhile, as the engineering vehicle advanced through the tunnel, it also left behind two infinitely extending electromagnetic tracks in its wake.
The vacuum maglev pipeline was soon to be completed
Chapter 192 - Country Seething with Excitement (1)
Chapter 192 C Country Seething with Excitement (1)
When the engineering vehicle had traveled more than one thousand meters, the first carriage suddenly disconnected one of the ring-shaped objects around its body. The ring then embedded itself with the hot alloy.
Immediately afterward, under the gaze of nearly five million viewers, the ring-shaped device automatically unfolded to form a strong seal. The seal prevented air from the outside world from entering the pipeline.
After the engineering vehicle advanced another three kilometers, another ring-shaped device disconnected from the second carriage and formed another seal.
At this point, the inside and outside of the pipeline had been thoroughly isolated from each other.
[Lololol!]
[Im just a machine that can type lololol.]
[Ive been wondering how the train was going to seal the pipeline.
[Brothers in Beijing, are you guys ready to board the train?]
[I didnt queue up. There were too many people. Moreover, the government officials were even asking for a boarding ticket! Screw them!]
[A boarding ticket?!]
[Genius.]
[Hahaha]
[I wonder how the travel fare will be afterward. Hopefully, they make it cheap.]
[Once the maglev train is opened to the public, wont UPs popularity skyrocket?]
The pipeline connecting Shanghai and Beijing measured over a thousand kilometers.
However, unlike the trip to Shanghai, the return trip to Beijing was much slower. Every 200 kilometers the engineering vehicle traveled, it would have to stop to install a high-pressure air pump. It would then slowly accelerate, travel to the next 200-kilometer milestone, stop again, and install another air pump.
Hence, the return trip from Shanghai to Beijing took a full three hours.
Whoosh Boom!
The maglev train shot out of the pipeline and landed heavily onto the ground, ruining the ground the workers had tidied up recently.
Its back! Its back!
Crap!
Its so big!
Ahhh!
Hes coming out!
A boy! Its a boy!!
Outside the construction site, thousands of onlookers cheered at the maglev trains return, their actions making it seem as if they were welcoming the appearance of a god.
Everyone, thank you very much for the attention and support youve shown for the vacuum pipelines construction, Chen Yus voice came from the engineering vehicles loudspeaker. However, please dont get too excited, dont panic, and dont add on more trouble for the police officers maintaining order.
Awooo!
The crowd cheered even louder in response.
I will now re-enter the pipeline to seal the entrance. Once the pipeline cools down, everyone can enter the train to feel the extreme speed of the 22nd century. For those selected to board the train, please follow the government officials instructions and enter in an orderly manner.
Roar!!
UP! I love you!
I love you!
My lord daddy! Youre amazing!
Awesome, awesome
Seemingly everyone was yelling meaninglessly to vent the excitement in their chests.
Also. After waiting for the crowds shouting to fade slightly, Chen Yu continued, I dont know which department will handle the maglev trains operation in the future, but if its the railway department, then please have the railway departments management team, engineers, and conductors get ready to enter the cab to get authorized for the trains AI.
The number of engineers and conducts cannot exceed 20. Conductors must also possess rich driving experience and accumulated knowledge of physics, mathematics, and magnetic levitation.
Ordinary passengers will enter the passenger cabins. Currently, the pipelines surface temperature is still over 500 degrees Celsius, so please be mindful of that. Enter only after the train has cooled down.
After Chen Yu finished his announcements, the train started moving again. Amidst the roar of the trains engine, the train disappeared back into the pipeline.
After crossing 1,000 meters, a ring-shaped device disconnected from the first carriage and unfolded.
After crossing another 3,000 meters, another ring-shaped device disconnected from the second carriage and unfolded.
Immediately afterward, the maglev train returned to the space between the two seals and stopped there. It then exited the construction mode and started unfolding the passenger carriages!
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack
The crisp sound of metal unfolding rang rhythmically as the maglev train rapidly expanded its length from the middle.
Clack! Clack! Clack
Three minutes later, the passenger carriages were fully unfolded.
When Chen Yu had the camera take a shot of the train, the audience in front of the screen actually couldnt see the end of the train
Psh Psh
The door of the first carriage opened. The floating camera quickly flew through the door and returned to the cab.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu spread out his arms and loudly said, I now declare humanitys first vacuum pipeline for maglev trains to be
Officially opened!
[Host, youre awesome!]
[Host, youre awesome!]
[My train will soon arrive in Beijing! Host, wait for me!]
[Im so excited!]
[I really want to experience it]
[The pipeline is just 1,000 meters underground. Im currently digging my way to it. Ill reach it soon.]
The flood of bullet comments continued for over a dozen minutes.
At this time, the pipeline had also cooled down to a suitable temperature.
Sitting back onto the conductors seat, Chen Yu swiped his finger across the crystal ball and said, Dimwit, start drawing out the air.
Extracting the air from the pipeline. Confirm?
Yes.
Please check the pipelines low-voltage power flow. If even a gap appears in the pipeline, the air extraction process will devastate the pipeline. Please confirm again.
Hearing this, Chen Yu couldnt help but feel a little apprehensive. Immediately, he started carefully inspecting the electric circuit inside the pipeline. Only after verifying that there were no red warning indicators along the entire pipeline did he click on the confirmation option.
Extracting air.
Om Om Om
Beyond the circular seal, the resonance generated by the airflow was clear and audible. However, after a while, the sound grew increasingly weaker until it eventually disappeared.
Extraction complete. The pipeline has reached 98.4% vacuum, of which 0.1% consists of inert gases.
Alright, thats enough. Facing the camera, Chen Yu said, Passengers outside may start boarding the train.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the crowd standing a thousand meters away from the train boiled with excitement.
A deafening cheer also exploded from the crowd.
Simultaneously, the dozen or so police vehicles parked near the crowd also started playing the following announcement in a loop: Selected passengers, please show your boarding tickets to the staff members and board the train in an orderly manner.
Leader, lets go.
In the meantime, the special situation teams team leader and the railway departments management team moved toward the train through a temporarily-established VIP passage. And following after them were numerous special agents, engineers, conductors, and over a dozen elderly professors supported by their students.
Unthinkable! Unthinkable!
Meanwhile, the several elderly men walking at the rear of the group shivered in excitement as they gazed at the spacious vacuum pipeline. A miracle. This is truly a miracle
The angle of descent is too steep. Well need to install escalators here, the chief engineer, who walked in the middle of the group, said as he entered the sealed section of the pipeline. While making records on his tablet, he said to his colleagues, Well install lights on the left and right sides of the entrance instead of the ceiling.
Looking down to a depth of 1,000 meters will also cause passengers to feel uneasy, so well need to pull some tricks on the wallpaper. Its also best if we set up a hall before the valve
Aside from transporting passengers, this route will be mainly used for transporting supplies. The ability to transport goods between the north and the south in just 10 minutes or so is truly terrifying, the soldier walking at the front said in a low voice to the middle-aged team leader. We can just limit passenger transport to two times per day. The remaining trips will be reserved for transporting supplies.
During emergencies, based on our calculations, if we ignore the passenger experience, we should have no problems transporting 50,000 soldiers per trip. The question now is whether the passenger compartments doors will be large enough to fit a tank.
Frowning, the middle-aged team leader said, We can also set up a censorship system to block news. We should also limit passenger tickets to passengers that are in the know and have passed the screening. Theyll also have to sign a confidentiality agreement to prevent information on the maglev train from spreading further. If we do that, we might be able to limit passenger trips to just once per day.
Mhm. Medicines, goods, equipment, and other materials will be set as the main target of transportation. Theyll generate greater economic value.
Nodding in agreement, the team leader said, The higher-ups will arrange for these matters. The most important thing we need to do now is to make official contact with Transdimensional Reviews UP and figure out the balancing point of our relationship.
After remaining silent for a moment, the soldier took a step back from the team leader and said, Its not us; its you. This is your task; it has nothing to do with me. I definitely wont be saying a single word.
The team leader:
Five minutes later, the group arrived before the pipelines first seal.
The seal was black in color, and it had an 18-meter radius. The spiral seal prevented air from flowing into the pipeline.
Meanwhile, on the bottom-right side of the seal, there was a small metal door. The door was five meters tall and three meters wide. It was obviously meant for the importation and exportation of humans and small goods.
Pshhh!
When the middle-aged team leader stepped within five meters of the seal, the small door detected his presence. A cooling white mist immediately escaped from the gaps of the door, the mist slowly pushing the metal door open.
Chapter 193 - Country Seething with Excitement (2)
Chapter 193 C Country Seething with Excitement (2)
Pshhh!
White mist escaped from the gaps as the side door slowly opened.
Seeing this, the middle-aged team leader and soldier briefly exchanged looks with each other before leading everyone through the door.
Boom!
When the last person had crossed the first seal, the metal door instantly closed shut, isolating the last ray of light from the outside world.
However, because the maglev train parked in the middle of the pipeline had its own lighting system, the visibility inside the seal was actually much better than outside.
Incredible. The soldier slowed down his gait as he reached out to touch the trains cold, smooth, and silver body. It dug through nearly two thousand kilometers of dirt and rock, yet theres actually not a scratch on this thing If this alloy can be used as armor
Itll be difficult to analyze the alloy used for the trains body, the middle-aged team leader said, shaking his head. He then pointed at the ceiling and continued, However, we already have the alloy composition for the pipeline.
The team at Shanghai kept a record? the soldier asked in surprise.
Of course. They recorded every bit of metal that went into the train. It wont be long before the lab can reproduce a roughly similar alloy. Of course, it wont be an exact replica.
Give it to the military first!
Apply with the higher-ups. It wouldnt matter even if we discuss it
Amidst their discussion, the two quickly covered the trains 1,000-meter body and arrived before the first carriage.
At this point, the first carriages door was already open, and Little Peach in her eunuch uniform currently stood guard by the door.
Hello, Madam. I am the person in charge. It is an honor to meet you. May I know how I should address you? the middle-aged team leader asked with a polite smile.
Just call me Gonggong, Little Peach answered. When she saw the middle-aged team leader, she couldnt help but find him to be familiar. However, as she was too lazy to dig through her database, she simply scanned everyone with her eyes. She then pointed at an engineer and said, You cannot bring your leather bag aboard.
T-This? The engineer in question raised his bag in shock. I-Is there a problem?
There are radioactive materials inside. You cannot bring it aboard.
Hearing this, the middle-aged team leaders eyes instantly sharpened as he looked at the engineer behind him. What is it?
I-Its a measuring tool, the engineer said as he hurriedly opened his bag and showed the item in question to the team leader.
Set it aside.
Yes, sir.
An agent took the bag from the engineer and promptly split from the crowd.
Gonggong, are there any other abnormalities? the team leader asked Little Peach with a smile.
None. Everyone may come up, Little Peach said as she stepped aside. Turn right once youre on board, and dont make any noise.
Understood.
After signaling everyone with a wave, the middle-aged team leader took the lead and boarded the first carriage.
After stepping on the soft carpet, the team leader raised his head and looked at the words Produced by the China Railway Construction Corporation. He then took a deep breath before walking toward the cab.
Thud Thud Thud
The corridor leading to the cab was extremely narrow. With everyone remaining silent, their footsteps sounded incredibly loud.
Half a minute later, the middle-aged team leader arrived at the end of the corridor and reached out to grab the door handle. After briefly preparing himself mentally, he gritted his teeth and entered the cab.
The instant he walked through the door, he straightened his back, and the initially sober and anxious look on his face transformed into a strong and confident one.
The inside of the cab was far more spacious than the camera portrayed it to be. Rather than call it a control room, it would be more apt to call it a control hall.
Upon entering the hall, the team leader immediately saw Chen Yus figure. Currently, the youth was portraying the image of someone who was in deep thought.
The middle-aged team leader had long since familiarize himself with this high school students personality. Suppressing his urge to chuckle, he indifferently stepped forward and greeted, Greetings, Mr. King.
Hello there. Chen Yu shook his dragon clothes, and elegantly turned around. When he saw the middle-aged team leaders familiar face, he could not help but be taken aback. However, he quickly recovered and stretched out his hand, Its nice to meet you.
Me too.
The two shook hands and maintained a delicate distance with each other.
Mr. King, thank you very much for your outstanding contributions to the railway industry, scientific and technological progress, and civilization development. On behalf of-
Dont speak on behalf of anyone first. For now, lets get straight to business.
Personally, Chen Yu did not dislike polite exchanges, especially when these exchanges included praise for him.
However, as an evaluation entity for the public, he couldnt let his audience watch these meaningless things.
Todays review has gone on long enough. Lets speed things up and go through with the authorization. After waiting for everyone to enter the control room, Chen Yu asked, First, well set the Deputy Chief Conductors authority. Which one of you will be taking the position?
At Chen Yus question, everyone in the room simultaneously turned toward a youth wearing a mask and thick clothing.
Seeing this, realization dawned upon Chen Yu. He then turned off the livestreams audio and shifted the cameras focus elsewhere.
Ive cut off the audio and moved you out of the picture.
In response, the young man stepped forward and bowed to Chen Yu. He then played a recorded line on his phone, Thank you for the trouble, Mr. King.
The young man wasnt a staff member of the railway department. In fact, his work unit wasnt even related to railways in any way. However, it was precisely because of this reason that he was chosen to have the highest authority over the train.
Your concealment is actually comparable to mine, Chen Yu commented. However, you have to pay more attention to the details. You cant just stop at the surface.
Yes, sir!
The middle-aged team leader:
Come with me then. Leading the youth to the crystal ball, Chen Yu said, Put your hands on it.
Yes, sir.
Reaching out, the young man placed both his hands on the crystal ball.
Dimwit, set his authority as the Deputy Chief Conductor.
Operator-levelDeputy Chief Conductors authority. Please confirm.
Confirm.
Please open your eyes and let Dimwit collect your iris data.
The youth bent over and opened the lens on his mask, revealing a pair of brown pupils.
Registration complete. Welcome, Deputy Chief Conductor.
Okay. Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, The binding is complete. Next up will be the operator levels conductors.
At these words, the dozen or so pre-designated individuals stepped forward and formed a queue.
Meanwhile, a thousand meters away from the train, the 1,000 civilian passengers ticket inspection was also completed. Under the instruction of the police officers, they were currently entering the pipeline one after another.
The slope is very steep. Everyone, please pay attention to safety. Stay in the queue and avoid stepping on others
The slope is very steep. Everyone, please pay attention to safety
Amidst the excitement and discussion, over a thousand people arrived before the first seal.
Psh
White mist filled the area as the side door opened.
Immediately, four police officers stepped forward and stood on both sides of the door. They then conducted a second ticket inspection on the passengers.
Crap!
Its so long
Dammit, theres no net underground.
I dont see any windows. Is the train fully sealed?
It must be sealed completely.
The passengers were divided into groups of 100, and they anxiously waited before the passenger carriages.
Squeak
Squeak
Squeak
The crowd did not have to wait long before the doors of the passenger compartments opened simultaneously.
Without waiting to listen to the staff members instructions, the crowd promptly charged through the doors and observed their surroundings in awe and shock.
The inside of every passenger car was equipped with high-end leather sofas, dining tables, sinks, and small refrigerators. The carriages did not give off a cramped feeling at all. The walls and ceiling were also equipped with high-definition screens that simulated environmental sceneries.
Also, the simulated environment of each car was unique to one another.
Some simulated the rural countryside.
Some simulated futuristic cities.
Some simulated underwater reefs.
Some simulated the starry universe
This was a riding experience that was utterly beyond modern human imagination.
Most of the passengers had their hearts overwhelmed with emotions. Eventually, they only managed to utter one word out of their throats
Crap
Chapter 194 - Accelerate!
Chapter 194 C Accelerate!
Inside the maglev trains control room
Registration complete. Welcome, Train Inspector.
After registering the final person, Chen Yu looked toward the four conductors before him and said, You can learn the details of the manual driving mode from the AI in the future. We cant afford to waste time now, so well drive the train using smart mode.
After briefly exchanging glances with each other, one of the four conductors in question stepped forward and said, Mr. King, let me.
Sure. Sit there. Chen Yu pointed at the conductors seat beside him.
The conductor nodded and approached the seat with a solemn expression. His body even tensed up as he sat on the seat.
You can slide the seat around. While driving in smart mode, you can grant full authority over the train to Dimwit. You can also slide up to the crystal ball and use it to make minor adjustments.
The conductor nodded once more as he carefully slid his seat up to the crystal ball. He then placed a hand on the ball and said, S-Start the maglev train.
Yes, Conductor Number 2.
Flicker!
The two headlights outside the windshield promptly lit up and illuminated the tunnel before it.
Before driving, you must first check the pipelines energization status, Chen Yu said as he pointed at one of the virtual projections in front of the conductor. The whole pipeline is connected with a low voltage, so you can monitor its status from the train. If the pipeline suffers damage from an earthquake or other reasons, you will have to vacate the passengers on the train, travel to the damaged area, and fix the damage in maintenance mode.
Understood.
If there are still passengers on board, you mustnt change operation modes. Otherwise, youll crush the passengers to death.
U-Understood
Thats all I know for the time being. Youre the professional here, so Ill leave things here to you.
Okay. Thank you very much.
Waving his hand, Chen Yu reestablished the livestreams audio and directed the camera toward himself. Sorry for the long wait. The authorization procedures have just been completed. The maglev train to Shanghai is about to start.
Friends before the screen, are you ready? Its time to feel what real speed is.
After saying so, Chen Yu put his hand on the crystal ball and commanded, Head to Shanghai at constant speed!
Yes, Chief Conductor.
Accompanied by the AIs crisp electronic voice, the electromagnetic tracks were energized, generating a superconducting reaction with the superconductors under each carriage. And as the long stator synchronous linear motors were energized, they slowly propelled the train forward.
At this time, the secondary air valve also slowly opened, allowing the train to pass through it.
Om
The train body shook momentarily.
This was a result caused by the air between the air valves being sucked away instantly.
At this point, the whole train was finally in a vacuum space.
[Its moving! Its moving!]
[Lets start timing it now and see how long it takes to get to Shanghai.]
[I envy the bastards on the train]
[Theyre all guinea pigs. Whats there to be envious of?]
[Envy.]
[Envy. +1]
Thump.
Thump.
Thump
Contrary to Chen Yus and most peoples expectations, the maglev train experienced a lot of bumping as it moved. It almost felt like riding on an ordinary high-speed train.
However, surprisingly, when the train accelerated to 220 kilometers per hour, all the bumping and shaking suddenly disappeared. It felt as if the entire train had come to a standstill.
Youre an expert on magnetic levitation, right? Chen Yu asked as he looked toward an old man.
Yes.
Can you explain why the train gets stabler as it moves faster?
It is because this maglev train uses the electrodynamic suspension method, the old man said as he pushed against his glasses. In this method, the gap between the train body and the rails is related to speed. Only when the train exceeds 100 kilometers per hour will the train have the foundation for levitation. Hence, while the train is at low speed, it will remain in contact with the rails. Only at high speeds will it levitate. And once the train levitates, it will no longer experience any forms of friction, so it will naturally become stable.
In other words Raising a finger, Chen Yu said, The trains flying because its too fast?
Cough, cough, cough The elderly professor choked on his saliva.
[Hahaha, lololol.]
[What miraculous understanding.]
[The programs performance has just exploded!]
[Lololol]
[I nearly believed him.]
[The speed is at 600km/h! How fast is its acceleration?]
If I hadnt experienced it personally, I wouldve never believed that it would be possible to travel at over 700 kilometers per hour without feeling anything, Chen Yu said as he stretched his hands toward the projection indicating the trains speed. He then enlarged it for the camera.
1,000
The numbers on display rapidly increased, and the train easily surpassed the standard flight speed of passenger aircrafts.
With the artificial intelligences calculations, the trains acceleration also didnt cause any discomfort to the people on board.
This acceleration will continue until we reach 5,000 kilometers per hour. At that speed, well reach Shanghai in 10 minutes maximum
Chen Yu sighed as he looked at the rapidly rising numbers. He then turned around, walked past the government officials, and exited the control room.
King, where are you going? Little Peach quickly caught up with Chen Yu.
It wont be long before we reach Shanghai. Lets take a look at the passenger carriages.
Meanwhile, when the middle-aged team leader overheard Chen Yus words, he made a sidelong glance. Responding to his signal, four agents also followed after Chen Yu.
Quickly, Chen Yu arrived at the end of the second carriage. When he opened the doors and looked beyond, however, he was immediately stunned.
As for Little Peach, the four agents, and the livestreams five million viewers, they, too, fell into a daze on the spot
The inside of the passenger carriage was like a world of magic.
In the sky, three blue moons were hidden among red clouds.
On the sides, strangely shaped trees could be seen rapidly retreating. Occasionally, one could also see a white unicorn flying over to gaze at the carriages passengers with curious eyes
[???]
[My god]
[What the! Did I transmigrate!?]
[Crap!]
[Crap]
[According to Einsteins theory of relativity, if an objects travel speed exceeds the critical value, it will create a wormhole that connects with the Three-Body universe]
[Its so beautiful!]
[Its a real-time simulation using screens! Awesome!]
[This is not the subway train I remember]
[Im heading to Beijing now! Im going to ride the train even if I have to go bankrupt!]
[I want to ride it every day.]
[Wont you get tired of riding it?]
[What nonsense are you spouting? The more you experience it, the more youll want to ride it!]
Meanwhile, most people inside the first passenger compartment were still intoxicated by the beautiful scenery around them. Hence, they hadnt noticed Chen Yus arrival.
As for the few who noticed Chen Yu and tried to approach him, they would be promptly blocked by the four agents.
In addition to my sense of sight, my sense of smell, hearing, and touch are all telling me thatthe world around me is real. Opening his arms, Chen Yu inhaled deeply and took a breath of the magical scent in the air. Shutting his eyes, he said, This is technology. It is a technology that will exist in the next hundred years.
In the future, this thing will have integrated itself into human life, becoming a form of art.
Half a minute later, Chen Yu opened his eyes and swept his gaze across the intoxicated passengers. Unwilling to disturb their wonderful experience, Chen Yu quietly retreated back into the second carriage and shut the door.
Our current speed has reached 5,000 kilometers per hour. Lets start the final evaluation of this product.
Looking at the camera, Chen Yu hurriedly approached the control room.
Lets accelerate!
Target: 14,000 kilometers per hour!
Chapter 195 - You Won’t Be Satisfied If You Go Too Fast
Chapter 195 C You Wont Be Satisfied If You Go Too Fast
After passing through the second carriage, first carriage, and cabs 15-meter-long corridor, Chen Yu arrived back in the control room.
Currently, the various experts were scattered throughout the room. They focused on researching the control rooms technology according to their own majors.
And with the conductor area unoccupied at the moment, four conductors had used the opportunity to study the train AIs operation tutorials.
Only the soldier and middle-aged team leader were resting on a sofa in the corner and quietly conversing with each other.
Meanwhile, upon noticing Chen Yus return, everyone in the room promptly halted their work and turned to look at him.
Continue on with your work, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. He then walked straight to the crystal ball and said to the four conductors there, You can continue your studies later. For now, let me drive the train.
Yes, Mr. King.
The conductors promptly stepped aside.
Thank you.
Chen Yu carefreely sat on the conductors seat. He then redirected the camera toward himself and said, As a reviewer, my most important job is still to evaluate products. Currently, the train is already traveling at 5,000 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a fighter jets cruising speed. However, this is still far from enough to display the maglev trains capabilities.
Speed has always been a mans romance.
So, let us see how romantic 22nd-century technology can get.
After saying so, Chen Yu placed his hand on the crystal ball and said, Dimwit! Accelerate!
[What a horrible description. ( ????)]
[Oh! My! God! What an inadequate adjective.]
[Nonsense! Speed is a mans worst enemy!]
[Itll only get romantic without speed.]
At Chen Yus command, the AI immediately cut off power to the long stator synchronous linear motors and activated the high-pressure air jets at the trains rear.
Pshh!!
The train instantly transformed into a comet, leaving a white tail in its wake.
Simultaneously, the speed of 5,000 km/h displayed on the virtual projection also started rapidly increasing.
5,200.
5,500.
6,000
Without the drag caused by the synchronous motors, the maglev train fearlessly increased its speed in the vacuum pipeline. Now, the only factor limiting its speed was energy.
[Its flying]
[What a terrifying speed.]
[Can it match up with the AE86, though?]
[I cant see the pipeline outside the windshield anymore.]
[At over 7,000 km/h, the train will definitely cause an earthquake if it hits the ground.]
[Earthquake? With the trains mass and speed, do you think it will only cause an earthquake?]
[I think I can see the light blueshifting]
To prevent the people on board from feeling overly stressed, the AI had set the trains acceleration at a low rate. Even after some time had passed, the train had only reached a speed of 9,000 kilometers per hour.
Even so, this speed still translated to 2,500 meters per second.
Under Earths atmosphere, that was already more than seven times the speed of sound
At this point, the world outside the windshield had already become distorted. If one looked at this distorted view for a long time, they would even develop an urge to vomit.
As everyone in the control room looked at the rising numbers on the virtual projection, they couldnt help but break out in cold sweat.
So long as one had a basic understanding of physics, they would have an instinctive fear toward such speeds.
Seven times the speed of sound. Even if the maglev train was made of godlike materials, everyone on the train would be turned into meat paste if it collided with a solid object. The impact would also cause devastating damage to the outside world.
To make an inappropriate analogy, the trains collision would be equivalent to having a five thousand-ton metal strip entering Earths atmosphere and hitting the ground at seven times the speed of sound
Even space-based weapons werent so terrifying!
In this situation, the soldier sitting beside the middle-aged team leader started growing uneasy.
In his eyes, this maglev train could no longer be considered a mode of transportation. Instead, it was a strategic superweapon!
With his military expertise, he had managed to figure out over a dozen methods of utilizing this maglev train as a weapon in just one minute.
For example, he could dig to a depth of 2,000 meters and secretly tunnel to the hearts of enemy countries. Afterward, he would fill the train with metal and send it crashing at a speed of 14,000 kilometers per hour
A whole country would disappear in the blink of an eye.
The entire process wouldnt take more than a day.
Another example would be to create tunnels that spanned all over the world and secretly plant nuclear weapons at every key location
The soldier shuddered at his thoughts. In the next moment, he suddenly stood up, saluted Chen Yu, and said, Mr. King, were fast enough now. No need to accelerate anymore.
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at the soldier and waved his hand, saying, Its fine. The top speed is 14,000 kilometers per hour. Its still too soon to stop. Also, this is an official review product. You dont have to worry about its safety and quality.
And since were conducting a review of the product, well have to push the product to its limits. Even if were reviewing a star destroyer, we must destroy a star with it before we can end the review. Hence, we cannot stop here.
[Is this something a human should say?]
[Mighty! Domineering!]
[Domineering my ass! Im going to take shelter at Mars!]
[Dont go! The seventh official livestream will be about destroying Mars!]
[Im starting to find this a little scary]
[The channels name is Transdimensional Review. The products reviewed naturally cannot be harmless.]
After sweeping a glance at everyone in the room, Chen Yus eyes glowed with excitement as he commanded, Dimwit, activate the plasma engine and accelerate once more!
Yes, Chief Conductor.
Accompanied by the AIs electronically synthesized voice, the jet nozzles closed, and the trains rear fully opened to reveal an engine nozzle emitting blue flames
Inside the control room, the number representing the trains speed also started
Decreasing.
Chen Yu: ??
8,400.
7,600.
6,000
W-Wait! Chen Yu was stunned. I told you to accelerate! Why are you slowing down?
We are about to arrive at our destinationCShanghai. Beginning deceleration procedures. This procedures priority is Level 1 and must be executed.
The Ais mechanical voice sounded like a melodious harmony from heaven to the crowd inside the control room. The soldier and middle-aged team leader also could not help but breathe out a sigh of relief in this situation.
Weve arrived? How many minutes has it been only? Chen Yu complained in dissatisfaction. Isnt it a little too fast?
Speed reduced to 5,000 kilometers per hour. Restarting long stator synchronous linear motors.
5,000.
4,300.
3,500.
2,000
Seated on the conductors seat, Chen Yu watched as the trains speed rapidly descended and eventually fell to just 20 kilometers per hour
Psh!!
The second seal of the Shanghai station opened and allowed the train to pass through.
Half a minute later, the maglev train came to a complete stop.
Dear passengers, weve arrived in Shanghai. Please alight the train in an orderly manner. Thank you for riding with us.
The preset notification spread throughout the train.
Simultaneously, the passenger carriages simulated environments vanished, and the screens now functioned as simple lights only.
What? Weve arrived?
We arrived so soon?
Crap! This speed is madness!
Dammit! I got scammed!
Crap!
When the passengers inside the 10 passenger carriages snapped out of their dazes, they immediately started shouting angrily.
How can we arrive so quickly?
Thats right! We waited for several hours, yet youre ending the trip after just a few minutes? Do you have any humanity?
Thats over a thousand kilometers were talking about!
Amidst the excited crowds complaints, a little girl in the third passenger carriage raised her hand and asked, S-Shouldnt faster train rides be better?
The passengers inside the third passenger carriage instantly fell silent. A moment later, however, they reacted with even greater excitement.
Nonsense! Even if its fast, it cant be this fast!
The trip isnt worth the fare.
The moon was just right before me! I was so close to touching it
We want another ride!
Another ride!
An old lady raising her fists: Thats right! Well said!
Chapter 196 - : Sixth Official Livestream, Over
Chapter 196 C Sixth Official Livestream, Over
Under Chen Yus rampant acceleration, the trip from Beijing to Shanghai only took six minutes.
The train passengers were intensely dissatisfied by this situation, and all of them gave out negative feedback.
For this reason, the police officers that had tagged along for the ride actually failed to get the passengers to alight the train. (Though, even the accompanying police officers were dissatisfied with the right)
In the end, only after a large number of Shanghais officers had arrived did they manage to drag the passengers off the train.
Following this, the passengers waiting before the Shanghai station excitedly charged into the station.
Too slow! You took nearly 10 minutes to arrive!
Thats right! I nearly died from anxiety!
But you can take it slowly when going to Beijing.
Agreed
Very quickly, the 1,000 passengers were neatly lined up before the passenger carriages.
One minute later.
Squeak
The carriage doors opened simultaneously, and the passengers impatiently swarmed into the carriages. And the moment the passengers saw the spectacular scene inside the carriages, every one of them said
Crap!
After another minute passed by, the doors closed, and the maglev train restarted its engine. It then slowly accelerated toward Beijing.
Inside the control room, Chen Yu stood up, faced the camera, and helplessly shrugged, Friends before the screen, it is regrettable, but the vacuum pipeline is only a little over a thousand kilometers long. Hence, the maglev train can only reach a top speed of 9,000 kilometers per hour. This is undoubtedly a huge mistake on my part.
I never thought that even acceleration requires ample timehowever, no matter. If I have time in the future, I might dig a deeper and longer pipeline that encircles the whole world. At that time, well definitely be able to achieve the top speed of 14,000 kilometers per hour.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked toward the middle-aged team leader before continuing, In front of the livestreams five million viewers, I, Transdimensional Reviews UP, officially rent the vacuum pipeline, maglev train, as well as the General Construction Level 3 Engineering Vehicle to the government at no cost. However, the ownership of these items remains with me, and I have the right to reclaim them at any time.
In response, the middle-aged team leader immediately stood up and made a 90-degree bow. Without blinking, he looked at Chen Yu and said, Thank you for your gift! Your compatriotsCthe entire Chinese nationCwill forever remember this moment! Salute!
Simultaneously, everyone in the room also straightened their backs and solemnly saluted Chen Yu.
Meanwhile, after looking around, Little Peach also mimicked the others and saluted Chen Yu.
[Salute!]
[Salute!]
[This is too awesome!]
[I can already feel my animal blood boiling!]
[I feel the same.]
[My bodys full of excitement! Im so excited Im going to the toilet!]
[The more concise the words, the more powerful they are. This person in charge is a master of speech.]
[UP! Youre the ruler of the world!]
[Ruler my ass! I just got off the train! Im leaving a bad review! Not only did I not have time to sit down, but I also didnt even manage to pull out my phone!]
[Ditto! It was too fast!]
[As a man, I feel ashamed for being so fast]
At ease!
Along with the middle-aged team leaders command, everyone in the room simultaneously put down their right hand.
Meanwhile, satisfaction filled Chen Yu as he felt the waves of positive energy washing over him.
This satisfaction was unrelated to happiness.
Instead, it was the kind of
The kind of rarely seensatisfaction.
Cough, cough. Faking a cough, Chen Yu awkwardly pressed down his hands as he said, Youre too polite. The best way to review a product is to use it and experience it long-term. Part of the reason why Ive lent it to you is so that I can put a perfect end to this products evaluation.
Mr. King, this is the lease contract, please sign it, the middle-aged team leader said as he pulled out three contracts from his backpack and handed them to Chen Yu.
However, Chen Yu merely sent the contracts a glance before waving his hand and refusing, That wont be necessary. They dont hold any meaning.
The maglev train was quite useful, but he currently didnt have any use for it. His action of lending it to the government could be regarded as a form of waste utilization. Moreover, contracts were only effective against ordinary people.
After sitting back down on the conductors seat, Chen Yu watched the rising speed displayed on the virtual projection. He then faced the camera, crossed his legs and fingers, and concluded the livestream.
Friends in the livestream rooms, todays review has been my longest one thus far. Thank you very much for remaining before your screens and showing me your support.
I would also like to thank the China Railway Construction Corporation for supplying me with this product. Not only has it broadened our horizons, but it has also furthered our understanding of how technology and art can be integrated with each other.
Well then, that will be it for todays livestream. Before I end the stream, though, I have to highlight one thing.
Chen Yu paused momentarily as he gestured a six with his hands. Now that the sixth episode is over, I will be undergoing my second quarterly evaluation as a reviewer. I believe that with everyones support, I should be smoothly promoted.
Meanwhile, once I am promoted, the products I review will undoubtedly have much greater technological content.
Maybe, our shocking and spectacular journey of spying on future technology has just begun. The seventh official livestream will come in another month. Everyone, make sure not to miss it.
Let us Chen Yu waved his hand.
Meet again!
After saying so, he turned off the livestream without hesitation.
Standing up and stretching his waist, Chen Yu swept a glance at the crown in the room. My review is over, so I now pass this train to you. Im going to get some rest in the living area for now.
Mr. King. At this time, the middle-aged team leader approached Chen Yu and said, There is something I wish to discuss with you. May I join you?
What is it?
Instead of verbally replying, the team leader pulled out a photo from his bag and secretly passed it to Chen Yu.
Seeing this, Chen Yu skeptically accepted the photo. However, upon seeing the contents of the photo, his arm muscles immediately tensed up.
There was an unknown multicellular organism recorded in the photo.
Meanwhile, labeled at the top-left corner of the picture was this multicellular organisms originCEuropas Ocean.
Is this real?
Yes. The team leader nodded. aside from this, I have some other matters I wish to discuss with you as well.
Follow me then.
After hooking his finger at Little Peach, Chen Yu left the control room.
Two humans and one robot arrived in the second carriages second-floor meeting room. They then sat opposite of each other and started a 20-minute-long secret discussion
By the time Chen Yu and Little Peach had returned home, it was already five oclock in the afternoon.
Its getting dark, Little Peach commented as she looked out the window. Removing her eunuch uniform, she continued, Todays livestream lasted very long.
Mhm. A lot of time was wasted on the construction portion. Chen Yu laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling. If we end up reviewing a product that constructs a planet, the stream might take even longer to finish.
Mr. Chen, you havent eaten for the entire day. Ill go abroad to buy you something to eat. After realizing the possibility of a love rival existing, Little Peach had drastically increased her attentiveness.
No need. My moms going to make dinner soon. Ill just eat at that time. I have more important matters to deal with right now.
After saying so, Chen Yu sat up and raised his wrist. Licking his lips in anticipation, he swiped his finger across his watch.
I earned at least 500 points from this stream. There must be some super-amazing things appearing in the Transdimensional Store
Chapter 197 - Daily Life (1)
Chapter 197 C Daily Life (1)
Chen Yu had gained a total of 5.22 million viewers from the five livestream rooms, earning him 522 points. Combined with the 73 leftover points, he now had a total of 625 points.
This was a vast sum of money!
With so many points, Chen Yu naturally had high expectations for the Transdimensional Stores recommended products.
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]
[1. Inextinguishable Birthday Candles: Produced by the Die from Addiction Company in the year 2166. The candles are made out of a mixture of PP2 combustible powder, thermal insulation fiber, and mixed bio-oil. Enhanced oxidants, thickeners, phospholipids, and glycerin are also added to prevent the candles from being extinguished by means such as wind, water, dry powder, dry ice, carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, etc. Even in a vacuum environment, the candles can continue burning for at least 26 days. In addition, the high-temperature sparks created during the combustion process will effectively ignite all combustible materials within a 12-meter radius, which will further add joy to your birthday. The selling price is 160 points.]
Chen Yu swiped to the next page with an indifferent expression.
[2. Immoral Map Application: Made by the Immoral Company in the year 2134. The application adopts the 22nd-centurys most advanced vector map rendering technology. It has 450 petabytes of high-quality real-time maps, covering every city and town in the world. It also has 25.58 billion POI information. The application actively conceals every normal route available, allowing users to effectively exercise their comprehensive ability. The application will also open up 1.4 million routes that would enable users to experience life and death challenges such as brushing shoulders with trains and flying over the top of mountains. The selling price is 140 points.]
Standing up, Chen Yu walked to the table, picked up the glass of water there, and drank it. While massaging his temples, he mumbled, Calm down. Think normal thoughts
[3. Automatic Cooking Pot: Produced by the Smith Barney Catering Company in the year 2143. This product belongs to a new generation of automated cooking robots. The cooking pot comes with 70 liters of concentrated Maillard reaction grease. Users only need to select the type of dish they wish to make on the virtual projection. No matter what food ingredients are inserted, the smart system will successfully produce the chosen dish. The cooking pot also ensures the cooked dish will have authentic taste, texture, and color. The selling price is 220 points.]
Why do I get the feeling that the more points I have, the more expensive the products become? Chen Yu fell into thought as he rubbed his chin. Are they fleecing me?
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu messaged the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff member.
[Chen Yu: ?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, have you finally gotten so lazy that you cant even be bothered to type Here?]
[Chen Yu: I feel that the prices of the Transdimensional Stores recommended products are greatly inflated. Care to explain?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: What kind of explanation do you wish to hear?]
[Chen Yu: Based on your words, are you planning to make up an excuse?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, it is normal for the prices of products recommended by the Transdimensional Store to fluctuate significantly. For example, even if two clothing pieces are made out of the same material, the prices can vary greatly depending on the brand and production scale. Lets use the Invisibility Cloak you previously bought as another example. If it was produced by the Chanel Company, its price could easily go for 700 points or more.]
[Chen Yu: Oh~ So when I have more points, the store will recommend more expensive products for me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. ??]
[Chen Yu: Whats the difference between the two, then?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Branding.]
Chen Yu:
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
[Chen Yu: Im issuing a complaint!!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Live until the year 4,552 when the Transdimensional Marketing Company is established. Afterward, visit the companys main branch located in the Kuiper Belt and arrange an appointment with the customer service department. My employee number is 233333]
Chen Yu tossed away his phone violently and looked at the Automatic Cooking Pots information displayed on his watch. After mentally struggling for a moment, he tapped his finger on the watch and chose to purchase the cooking pot.
Nowadays, life had become exhausting, and eating had gradually become the only reason to continue living in this world.
Hence, he couldnt give up on this product no matter what.
Even if he wasnt a foodie, it was difficult for him to resist the 22nd centurys cuisine.
[240 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 385]
Dammit Chen Yu scratched his head in frustration when he saw his remaining points.
A few seconds later, a wormhole appeared in his room, and a white box fell out of it.
Without waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Little Peach dashed forward and grabbed the box. She then graciously handed it over to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu:
Little Peach smiled meaningfully as she looked at Chen Yu. Hehe.
Act normally and go back to coding.
Okay!
After accepting the package, Chen Yu sat on the floor and removed the seal. He then pulled out a heavy electronic pot from the box.
After carefully inspecting the pot for a while, he set it down and picked up the instruction manual inside the box. He quickly understood how to operate the pot after a quick read.
Like the store pages introduction, the Automatic Cooking Pot could cook food from start to finish. The most amazing part about the pot was its ability to produce the users desired dish regardless of the ingredients provided. The only difference between a dish cooked using correct ingredients and a dish cooked using incorrect ingredients would be the nutritional values.
For example, if he chose to cook egg fried rice and only tossed cabbage into the cooking pot, the machine could still transform the cabbage into egg fried rice.
This is a little amazing
Setting the instruction manual aside, Chen Yu rubbed his empty stomach. He then stood up and left his room in excitement.
This was the first time he experienced the benefits of the Transdimensional Stores ability to read his subconscious thoughts.
Creak.
Before he could head into the kitchen to find some ingredients, two of his little sisters suddenly assaulted him in the living room.
Big Brother! Chen Erke called out as she hugged Chen Yus left leg.
Big Brother! Chen Sanke hugged Chen Yus right leg.
Oh, so you two are the only ones home. After making a perfunctory comment, Chen Yu tried pushing the two away.
No!
No!
At his attempt to break away, his two little sisters hugged his legs with even greater strength.
Feeling helpless, Chen yu had no choice but to drag his legs into the kitchen. He then started finding the right ingredients.
Have you guys eaten?
Not yet. x2
Puffing up her cheeks, Chen Erke glared at Chen Sanke and said, Dont copy me!
Y-Youre the one copying me.
Whoever copies the other is a dog!
Youre the dog!
Stop quarreling! Chen Yu clapped his hands to stop the two girls argument. He then grabbed three potatoes, two stalks of green onion, and one white radish from the kitchen counter. He then grabbed a piece of beef from the refrigerator, picked up the seasoning box, and set the ingredients on the table one after another. Do you guys want to eat something?
Chen Erke was momentarily taken aback by Chen Yus words. She then hurriedly nodded her head, Yes!
Im hungry. On the other hand, Chen Sanke lowered her head, pulled up her shirt, and rubbed her exposed belly.
What do you want to eat? Just name it.
I want to eat Placing her index finger on her lips, Chen Erke started recalling the fatty intestines she had at a restaurant before. Swallowing the saliva that had pooled in her mouth, she said, I want to eat fatty intestines!
Chen Sanke also subconsciously sucked on her thumb as she pondered. A moment later, she said, Big Brother, I want to eat simps.[1]
Simps?! Chen Yu was shocked.
Mhm! Simps.
Shrimps?
Shrimps. Chen Sanke nodded vigorously.
Okay. Lets start making fatty intestines and stir-fried shrimps, Chen Yu said as he rolled up his sleeves and worked his shoulders. Ill let you guys see what a God of Cooking looks like today.
Big Brother, youre cooking? Chen Erke asked in surprise.
Thats right.
Loosening her arms from Chen Yus leg, Chen Erke hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving. I suddenly dont feel hungry anymore.
Me too, Chen Sanke said as she vigorously patted her belly and walked away. Im so full
Chen Yu:
Chapter 198 - Daily Life (2)
Chapter 198 C Daily Life (2)
Dammit! You guys dare look down on me?! Ill show you what it means to slap yourself in the face
Chen Yu sneered as he returned to his room. He then picked up the Automatic Cooking Pot, carried it to the kitchen, and placed it on the dining table.
After glancing at his two little sisters in the living room, he slid the kitchen door shut and powered up the cooking pot.
Beep!
Along with a beep, a virtual projection listing dozens of food categories suddenly appeared above the pot.
For local cuisines, there were Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Su cuisine
For foreign cuisines, there were French cuisine, English cuisine, American cuisine, Sicilian cuisine
Chen Yu couldnt help but be dazzled by the wide variety of cuisines.
Not bad!
As Chen Yu looked at the menu that had tens of thousands of entries, he felt that out of all the products he had redeemed thus far, the Automatic Cooking Pot could easily rank within the top three in terms of practicality.
Even if he ate three different types of food every day, he wouldnt finish tasting the whole menu within his lifetime.
Chen Yu excitedly rubbed his palms together before opening the pots lid. Just as he was about to put the onions and potatoes into the pot, his occupational disease suddenly acted up.
If I only put seasonings, will it be able to produce a proper dish?
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu picked up the seasoning box and placed three spoons of salt, one spoon of MSG, one spoon of pepper, and half a small bottle of vinegar into the pot
In the end, he even placed a rolling pin into the pot, albeit hesitantly, and closed the lid. He then selected Fuqi Feipian on the virtual projection and tapped the Cook button.[1]
The pot:
Resting his hands on his waist, Chen Yu patiently waited.
The pot:
Beep! Beep, beep!
One minute later, accompanied by several beeping sounds, a red light lit up, signaling the cooking processs completion. At the same time, the lid also popped up.
[The ingredients used do not have any nutritional value. Please insert proper ingredients.]
Sure enough?
Seeing that the cooking process had failed, Chen Yu picked up the rolling pin and poured away the seasonings. At this time, his reviewers mind started acting up again.
I wonder if poop has any nutritional value
After washing the pot bottom with water, Chen Yu obediently placed in the normal ingredients he had prepared.
As for the seasonings, Chen Yu went with the principle of rather have more than have less and added 10 spoons of salt, 5 spoons of MSG, half a small bottle of soy sauce, half a small bottle of rice vinegar, and half a small bottle of cooking wine.
In any case, the cooking pot would automatically adjust the amount of seasonings used. Even if he added too much, he could leave the remainder for next time.
Bang!
After closing the lid, Chen Yu chose the local dish Braised Pork Intestines and clicked Cook.
Beep!
A green breathing light lit up, and a progress bar appeared on the virtual projection.
[Remaining cooking time: 1 minute 44 seconds]
[1 minute 23 second]
When the timer reached zero, the cooking pots lid automatically popped open.
As the white steam wafted out of the pot, it carried a fragrance that entered Chen Yus nose. And upon smelling this fragrance, Chen Yu immediately grew energetic.
Crap This smell
Grabbing his chopsticks, Chen Yu picked up a piece of greasy intestine and carefully observed it.
Whether it was the color, smell, elasticity, and shape, it was no different than normal braised intestines!
Interesting.
Swallowing his saliva, he placed the intestine into his mouth. He then closed his eyes and carefully experienced the mellow fragrance that invaded his taste buds
Nom, nom
Nom
As Chen Yu earnestly chewed on his food, an idea to make money came to his mind.
If he purchased a large amount of cheap cabbages and potatoes, turned them into exquisite dishes, and sold them, he would definitely make a killing!
However, he soon dismissed this idea.
Firstly, he no longer lacked money. In fact, he didnt even have an interest in money now.
Secondly, he only had one cooking pot. Even if he spent 240 points to buy another one, he would only have two. No matter how fast the cooking pots production time was, it simply wasnt possible for him to upscale his business. Opening only a few restaurants also wasnt worthwhile, as just one of Little Peachs software could most likely make more money than his restaurants could in a month.
Not to mention, although the Automatic Cooking Pots dishes tasted good and authentic, they werent at the level of making people go into ecstasy as depicted in novels. In fact, the cooking pots dishes merely rivaled Xing Biqis dishes. He definitely couldnt sell the dishes for a high price.
Hence, Chen Yu decided to only use this cooking pot as a household appliance.
After swallowing his food, Chen Yu wiped his mouth and plated the remainder of the braised intestines. He then inserted potatoes and onions into the pot once more and chose to make stir-fried shrimp.
Three minutes later
(Invincibility is so, so lonely)
(Invincibility is so, so hollow)
Amidst the sound of the exciting background music, Chen Yu walked into the living room with a plate of braised intestines in his left hand and a plate of stir-fried shrimp in his right hand.
Hm? Chen Erkes nose twitched. Pausing her drawing, she looked up and stared at the plate of braised intestines.
Huh? Chen Sanke also turned around and stared at the plate of stir-fried shrimp.
Ahaha. Chen Yu couldnt help but laugh at his little sisters reactions. Setting the two exquisite dishes on the coffee table, he smiled and said, My dear little sisters, what do you think?
This This Chen Erkes eyes widened as she stared at the dishes in disbelief. Did you make them, Big Brother?
Thats right, Chen Yu said as he took a seat on the sofa. What do you think of my skills?
Big Brother actually knows how to cook? Chen Sankes eyes glowed as she reached for the shrimps with her chubby hand
Smack!
With lightning speed, Chen Yu swatted Chen Sankes hand away.
Ah! Chen Sanke stumbled back. She then tilted her head and looked at Chen Yu in confusion.
In response to his little sisters stare, Chen Yu leisurely picked up a shrimp and placed it into his mouth. While chewing, he vaguely said, Third Eldest, didnt you say you were full just now?
II didnt.
You said you were full. Since youre full, you cannot eat anymore. Chen Yu clearly didnt understand what brother-sister relationships were. Picking up the plate of stir-fried shrimp, he shoveled half of the shrimps into his mouth. Like the devil himself, he then chewed the shrimps in front of Chen Sanke.
Nom Nom
Ah Chen Sanke stumbled and fell to the ground, despair coloring her face.
Seeing that Chen Yu was focused on targeting Chen Sanke, Chen Erke sneakily grabbed a piece of braised intestine.
Just as she was about to dump the intestine into her mouth, however, Chen Yu leaned forward and gave the piece a lick.
Chen Erke:
Didnt you say you suddenly didnt feel hungry anymore? Chen Yu sneered.
Ugh. Throwing away the braised intestine in disgust, Chen Erke spread out her arms and attempted to talk some sense into her brother. Im hungry now.
Too late. Sitting back onto the sofa, Chen Yu mercilessly said, Its all mine. None of you can eat it. Stay hungry.
T-Then, why did you bring it over! Chen Erke shouted aggrievedly.
To tease you, of course.
Chen Erke puffed up her cheeks. After shifting her gaze between the greasy intestines and Chen Yus despicable face, she stamped her feet and said, I dont like you anymore!
Oh. Chen Yu nodded. He then picked up a piece of intestine, shook it in front of Chen Erkes nose, and placed it into his mouth. How delicious.
Chen Erke:
B-Big Brother Standing up, Chen Sanke leaned forward and pushed at Chen Yus feet.
What do you want?
I love you.
Its useless.
Uu Chen Sanke stared at the shrimps and licked her lips. She then pulled up her sweater and said, Ill let you rub my tummy.
Chen Yu:
Ill let you rub it once if you give me a piece, Chen Sanke offered with a serious expression. I-If you give me three, you can rub twice.
Chen Yu:
All right? Chen Sanke asked pitifully.
Alright. Rub first, eat later.
Rub while eating.
Deal!
When Chen Erke saw her younger sisters act of selling her soul for food, she clicked her tongue contemptuously. Afterward, she similarly pulled up her sweater, exposing her white belly. Brother! Ill give you two rubs for one bite!
Scram. Your belly is dry and shriveled. I wont give you anything even if you let me rub it a hundred times.
Under Chen Erkes tearful gaze, Chen Yu and Chen Sanke finished the two dishes and elegantly left the living room.
Compared to Chen Yu, Chen Sanke was much more softhearted. Kindly handing her plate to Chen Erke, she said, Theres still some sauce left. Want a lick?
Chen Erke:
Chapter 199 - Human Civilization’s Judgment Day…
Chapter 199 C Human Civilizations Judgment Day
After returning to his bedroom, Chen Yu found Little Peach crouching before the Automatic Cooking Pot and inspecting it.
What are you looking at?
Raising her head, Little Peach pointed at the cooking pot and said, Mr. Chen, its actually a robot as well.
Is it alive? Chen Yu asked in surprise.
Its roughly similar to the island-building ships AI.
Is that so? Sitting before the cooking pot, Chen Yu frowned, Well need to give it a name as well, then.
What should we name it?
Dimwit.
The pot:
How fortunate. Little Peach suddenly stroked her chest in joy.
What are you feeling fortunate about?
I feel fortunate that I came with a name.
Okay, go back to coding. Im still busy.
After sending Little Peach away, Chen Yu moved the Automatic Cooking Pot aside, sat on the floor, and resumed browsing the Transdimensional Store.

After remaining silent for a moment, Chen Yu flipped to the next page. It seems Im thinking of nonsense again
[5. The Shining Moment of Civilization, February 2041 Edition: Serialized by the Natural Science Society in 2030. This journal records the series of events that happen after 2030. It is the most authoritative, important, and historically valuable journal of human civilization. This journal is the February 2041 Edition. The selling price is 100 points.]
A journal?
After carefully reading the product description several times and hesitating on the 100-point selling price for some time, Chen Yu chose to purchase the journal.
Although this product wasnt some advanced technology, he was relatively interested in what humans would experience in the future and what changes would occur to human culture, society, form, and consciousness.
[110 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 275]
As this line of text flashed by his watchs screen, a space-time wormhole instantly appeared in the middle of his room. A small, rectangular box then fell out of the wormhole.
Whoosh
After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu stepped forward and unsealed the box. He then pulled out a journal from it.
The journals thickness was average, and it numbered no more than 100 pages. However, the size of the pages was large. At a glance, the pages were at least A3 in size.
After tearing off the exquisite plastic packaging, Chen Yu laid on his bed with the journal held up. And with the heart of a curious child, he started flipping through the journal.
However, just reading the first pages content had already caused his body to grow cold and sweat to appear on his forehead
Chen Yu abruptly sat up, his breathing a little short. He then started reading through the journal with greater speed, flipping through page after page.
The more he read, the more goosebumps he got.
This How is this possible?
Noticing Chen Yus abnormality, Little Peach hurriedly approached him and asked, Mr. Chen, what happened?
Chen Yu did not answer. He simply waved his hand and continued immersing himself in the detailed reports.
Aside from there being many words, the journal also had dozens of accompanying pictures and analysis diagrams. Hence, even an ignorant plebian like Chen Yu could more or less understand what the reports were talking about.
Despite the journal not having a lot of content, Chen Yu had spent two whole hours reading it.
After Chen Yu read the last page and closed the journal, uncertainty appeared on his face.
What happened? Little Peach asked in confusion as she grabbed the journal and flipped through it. Is it a horror novel?
Its much more terrifying than a horror novel.
Standing up, Chen Yu started pacing around the room as his brain started working overtime.
Meanwhile, after flipping through a few pages, Little Peach asked in confusion, What is this book talking about? I dont quite understand.
Youll understand if you search up some basic knowledge on astronomy on the internet.
Okay! Nodding, Little Peach said, Ill go study now.
Set aside your studies for now. After pacing around his room for several minutes, Chen Yu seemingly came to a decision. Reaching out, he grabbed the camera suspended in mid-air and handed it to Little Peach. Edit the livestream first and publish it on the various platforms at 9 AM tomorrow. Afterward
Receiving the camera, Little Peach wondered, Afterward?
Afterward, publish a text announcement.
Is it an interactive livestream? What day should we host it on?
It isnt an interactive event, Chen Yu said, shaking his head. Set the time next Sunday. I need to make some preparations in the meantime.
Oh. What about the title?
Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu said, Human Civilizations Judgment Day
The next day, Monday:
Sunlight snuck through the curtains and landed on Chen Yus face. Feeling his face warming up, Chen Yu slowly opened his eyelids to reveal a pair of bloodshot eyes.
He didnt get a good sleep last night as the journals contents repeatedly echoed in his mind.
He had never once thought that humanity would face an existential crisis in his era.
Ugh
After massaging his swollen temples, Chen Yu sat up. Just as he was about to get out of bed, he noticed Little Peach staring at him with a stern expression.
Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?
Her eyes bursting into tears, Little Peach said, You really have someone outside.
Chen Yu: ???
Dont deny it!
Bringing the laptop over, Little Peach played a video.
The image shown on the video was none other than Chen Yu and Xing Biqi having dinner together in a kitchen.
Uh Chen Yu blinked in surprise. For some inexplicable reason, he suddenly felt as if he had just been caught cheating. Y-You found it in the cameras storage?
Yes! Little Peach clenched her fist. You had me edit yesterdays livestream recording, and I accidentally came across a video recorded previously.
Are you sure you came across it by accident?
Regardless, you still went behind my back and found someone else. And sure enough, it is that girl. Struggling to contain her anger, Little Peach yelled, She even fed you as well!
Its normal for classmates to have meals with each other. Chen Yu got out of bed, changed into a new set of clothing, and slipped away. Im going to school now. Lets talk afterward.
Mr. Chen! You cannot leave! Little Peach blocked Chen Yu. Angrily, she said, I want to cook for you too! I cannot lose to her!
Uh Recalling the evil concoction Little Peach cooked up before, Chen Yu shook his head and said, You need to calm down.
I want to make egg fried rice for you too! Ill make one better than hers!
Little Peach pouted. She then opened up the Automatic Cooking Pots lid and grabbed the eggs and rice she prepared beforehand.
Youre using that to cook? Sure, then. Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief. At least the final product will be edible.
Dont worry. Waving her hand, Little Peach said, I wont cook using smart mode. Ill use manual mode to make an egg fried rice filled with love.
Ill grow even more worried if you do that.
Just you wait.
Little Peach turned on manual mode and heated up the pot. She then frowned as she switched her gaze between the egg in her left hand and the rice in her right hand. Um
Whats wrong? Chen Yu sneered.
Should I put the egg in first or the rice?
You dont even know this, yet you dare cook for me?
I know how! Little Peach mumbled, I just forgot. Itll definitely be delicious once its done!
Place the egg first.
Right! I remember now! I have to add the egg first!
After saying so, Little Peach squeezed the egg with all her might.
Crack!
The eggshell was crushed!
Egg white and yolk then flowed through the gaps of her fingers and fell into the pot with a sizzling noise.
Gulp.
Chen Yu took a step back and gulped nervously as he felt a dull pain coming from his crotch.
Five minutes later, the egg fried rice was completed.
Sitting opposite each other, Little Peach and Chen Yu silently stared at the bowl of charred jelly between them.
You call this egg fried rice? Chen Yu asked.
Grabbing Chen Yus phone, Little Peach looked up a recipe on the internet and said, I asked whether to add the egg or rice first You told me to add the egg first.
What? Is it wrong to put in the egg first? Chen Yu frowned.
Little Peach: The internet said to add oil first
Chen Yu:
Chapter 200 - Brother
Chapter 200 C Brother
Time always seemed to slip by inadvertently.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a week had gone by already.
Today was a Saturday morning, and there was only one day left until Chen Yus additional livestream.
After the Chen family had their breakfast, the person that needed to work went to work, and the person who traded in stocks went to trade stocks. In the end, only the Chen familys four young masters remained at home.
Big Brother! Ive changed! Lets go! Hurry! Chen Erke said after putting on a thick down jacket. She then started dragging at Chen Yus shirt in a hurry. Well be late at this rate!
Dont worry. Eldest and Third Eldest still havent finished changing, Chen Yu said as he leisurely sat on the sofa and swiped his phone.
Youre sending me to taekwondo class today, so why are they tagging along? Yuck! Chen Erke groaned in dissatisfaction.
Im having your elder sister recognize the route. That way, she can drop you off every Saturday in the future.
What about Third Eldest? Why are we bringing her? Softly, Chen Erke muttered, W-What if she wants to learn it as well? Ill just lose to her again!
Third Eldest is out of snacks. Im bringing her along to buy some, Chen Yu said as he pushed Chen Erke away. Stop sticking so close to me. Youre almost nine years old. Keep some distance away from your brother, OK?
No!
Brother, lets go.
At this time, Chen Yike led Chen Sanke out of the master bedroom and said, Were done changing. What about the husky? Wont it bite and break things if we leave it alone at home?
Ill deal with it.
Storing away his phone, Chen Yu dragged the husky into the bathroom. After shutting the door, he pulled out two cigarettes from his pocket and shook it in front of the dog. Hey, dog, we need to go out for some business. Be good and stay at home. Do so, and Ill give you one of these two cigarettes. If you perform well, Ill give you another one when I come home.
Lying on the floor in an arrogant posture, the husky shook its canine head and sternly said, No, woof.
No my ass!
Giving the dog a slap in the face, Chen Yu said, Im not negotiating with you! This is an order! If you dare cause trouble at home, Ill turn you into dog stew once were back!
Dog meat is, woof, not tasty
Can you not speak English?
Woof!
Lets do this. Ill add another cigarette, Chen Yu said as he pulled out another cigarette and clipped it to the huskys ear. Smoke inside the bathroom, and open the window once youre done. No leaving the house.
Awoo The husky nodded repeatedly.
We have a deal.
After shaking the huskys paw, Chen Yu turned around and took his three little sisters out.
The husky then planted its right ear on the ground and listened for the elevators noise. After a while, it suddenly stood up and excitedly howled, Awooo! Woof!
Slide.
After opening the door, the husky walked out of the bathroom with its chest held high and cigarettes in its mouth. Meanwhile, after leaving the bathroom, the first thing it did was to enter the kitchen, turn on the stove to light a cigarette, and turn it off.
Afterward, it waltzed into the living room and planted its butt on the sofa. It then puffed out a mouthful of smoke, making smoke rings in the process
Picking up the remote control on the sofa, it turned on the TV and tuned to the sports channel. Seeing that it was the national football team playing, it let out a snort and immediately changed channels. Only after finding a cartoon channel did it stop. It then started smoking while watching TV.
Awoo~~?
After finishing a cigarette, the husky hummed a strange tone as it rhythmically walked toward the hallway. It then grabbed the landline phone and familiarly dialed a number.
Hello, this is the Four Seasons Restaurants takeaway department.
Woo~order food!
Very well. May I know your order?
What do you~woo~recommend
After some communication, the husky completed its order and disconnected the call. However, even after circling the living room, it failed to find a single yuan lying around.
Awoo~ Poor~
The husky laid on the floor and pondered for a moment. It then walked toward Chen Yus bedroom and knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock!
A moment later, Little Peach opened the door and tilted her head, asking, What is it?
Sticking its tongue out, the husky said, Woof! Play~woo~
You want to play with me?! Little Peach immediately grew joyful.
Woof!
Haha! This is great! What should we play?
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Landlord? And were betting money?
Woof!
No problem! I, Little Peach, will never lose to you!
At the same time, Chen Yu led his three little sisters westward. After walking for around eight minutes, they arrived before a shop named Zhiyong Taekwondo.
This is it.
Its so big. Chen Erke was stunned as she looked up. Do the second and third floors belong to the shop as well?
The second and third floors are the taekwondo studios. The first floor is the dance studio. Lets go, Chen Yu said as he pulled on Chen Erkes hand and led his little sisters through the entrance. However, as soon as he entered the building, his footsteps immediately came to a halt.
Currently, young and lively ladies were stretching their slender waists in the dance studio, and Chen Yu couldnt help but stare at them.
Brother! What are you looking at?! Chen Yike frowned and quickly stood in front of Chen Yu.
Nothing. Chen Yu turned away and walked toward the nearby staircase.
After arriving on the second floor, a female coach practicing her kicking noticed the Chen familys four young masters. Immediately, she came to greet them, Hello, sir.
Im the one who came for consultation a few days ago. I brought my sister to register.
I remember you. The instructor said, nodding. She then smiled and pointed at Chen Yus three younger sisters, asking, Will all three of them be registering?
No! Im the only one registering! Chen Erke said as she hurriedly raised her hand. At the same time, she also snuck glances at Chen Sanke.
Sir, we currently have an ongoing promotion. If you register as a group, there will be disc-
No need for discounts. Chen Yu waved his hand ostentatiously, unable to help himself from showing off his wealth in front of the beautiful female instructor. Were just applying for one person. Give my little sister the best course available.
Oh, is that so. The female instructor briefly glanced at the simple clothing the Chen familys four young masters were wearing. Her smile remaining unchanged, she continued, Lets enroll your little sister in the yearly course, then. Each month will have eight classes, and there will be a professional instructor personally educating her. The total price is 4,980 yuan.
The price is quite low, but the duration is too long. Im afraid my sister cant endure it, so lets register her for one month first.
The instructor nearly laughed. However, as she was a professional, she still managed to hold herself back. Okay, sir. Itll be 850 for one month. The pricing for the annual fee is more affordable.
I already said money isnt the problem. Patting Chen Erkes shoulder, Chen Yu said, So long as my little sister is satisfied, I can even register her for 10 years. Itll all depend on your standards.
Very well. Please follow me. Right, sir, if youre not applying for the yearly course, there wont be any uniforms or equipment included. You will need to pay extra to purchase them.
Just tell me the total. Ill send it all together.
After completing the registration procedures and footing the bill, Chen Erke was left to study in the taekwondo studio.
Following this, Chen Yu continued moving westward together with his two remaining little sisters.
Brother. Growing skeptical, Chen Yike asked, Arent we buying snacks for Third Eldest? The mall is eastward.
Well talk about the food later. Follow me first.
At this time, Chen Sanke tugged at Chen Yus shirt and asked, Big Brother, whywhy is Big Sis learning taekwondo?
Youll find out very soon.
?
After walking for another five minutes, Chen Yu stopped and pointed ahead. Were here.
Looking at the direction Chen Yu pointed at, Chen Yike could not help but be stunned.
Ahead of them was a stylishly decorated villa.
Meanwhile, hanging in front of the villa was a white plaque with the words Danya Piano School written on it.
This This is
Turning around, Chen Yu revealed a warm smile as he looked at Chen Yike.
Ive registered you already. One year.
Chen Yike stared at Chen Yu in a daze. A moment later, her eyes gradually moistened, and her vision turned blurry. Brother
Chapter 201 - Deep-seated Fear (1)
Chapter 201 C Deep-seated Fear (1)
Big Brother, will Big Sisters be going for classesevery Saturday from now on?
What? Smiling, Chen Yu patted Chen Sankes little head and asked, Will you feel lonely with your sisters gone?
No. Chen Sanke shook her head. If theyre gone, my snacks wont disappear anymore.
You really are a wonderful little sister.
Mhm.
Leading Chen Sanke by the hand, Chen Yu crossed three traffic lights and arrived before Jinzhou Citys largest shopping mall. They then took the escalator straight to the malls second floor.
Unlike other people, Chen Sanke would always have one foot raised when using the escalator. Only after the escalator had carried her to the next floor would she complete her stride, evading the gap between the elevator step and landing plate by a large margin.
She looked both dumb and cute.
Just take whatever you want. Dont mind about money, Chen Yu said as he generously waved his hand across the rows of snacks before them.
AreAre we very rich now?
Of course. Your brother has pulled our family out of poverty. Although we still cant be considered rich, buying you snacks is a trivial matter.
Wow! Big Brother is amazing! Chen Sankes eyes were shining. She then stood on her toes and pointed at the shelves before her, Is it trivial if we buy all of these?
Buying everything is a little Rubbing his chin, Chen Yu continued, We cant call that trivial. That seems a little too cra-moderate.
Chen Sanke: ѣ!
Passersby:
After buying a large bag of snacks, Chen Yu took Chen Sanke to the indoor amusement park and let her have fun there for an hour. Only afterward did they leave the shopping mall.
At the same time, inside the special situation teams office in Beijing
The middle-aged team leader received over 300 encrypted photos. After printing them out, he started carefully observing them.
These photos were a record of Chen Yu and his three little sisters leaving home, registering for classes, and visiting the mall.
As the field team was ordered not to approach Chen Yu, the photos were taken from a great distance. Fortunately, the cameras used were of high quality, so the pictures were still relatively clear.
After flipping through the photos, the middle-aged team leader revealed a somber expression. Picking up his communicator and putting it by his ear, he said, Little Wu, find three experts on facial expressions and body movement from our team and bring them to my office.
After disconnecting the call, the middle-aged team leader carefully stacked up the photos and kept them in his desk drawer. He then visited Transdimensional Reviews homepage on Bilibili and repeatedly read the words written in the latest announcement.
Human Civilizations Judgment Day.
Just what is this about
Ten minutes later, a knock came from the office door. Big Sis Wu then brought in three middle-aged men and said, Leader, Ive brought them.
Mhm. You may go.
Okay.
Big Sis Wu left and closed the door behind her.
Leader, do you need us for something?
Mhm. The middle-aged team leader nodded. Sit.
After waiting for the three experts to take their seats, the team leader pulled out three sets of agreements from his drawer and handed them out. Please sign this document.
The three experts briefly exchanged looks with each other before accepting the documents. Upon seeing the document title, however, a chill crawled down their spines.
This was a confidentiality agreement.
Once they signed it, they would temporarily lose their freedom, and even their family would come under observation
If you dont wish to sign, you may leave now, the team leader said indifferently.
After a moment of silence, all three experts placed their signatures on the agreement.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
After recollecting the three agreements, the middle-aged team leader went straight into the topic and pulled out the photos in his drawer. He then split them into three sets and handed them to the three experts. Take a look at these and analyze his micro-expressions. Although Ive studied micro-expressions as well, you guys are more specialized.
The three experts reached out and grabbed the photos. When they saw Chen Yus face in the picture, however, their hearts momentarily stopped.
If they factored in the confidentiality agreement they just signed, there was almost no need to explain this youths identity.
Thats right. The middle-aged team leader nodded. He is Transdimensional Reviews host. The information you are in contact with now is a Level 1 Top Secret. Im sure I dont need to elaborate further.
Pausing slightly, the team leader flipped his tablet around and picked up a document. He then displayed both objects to the three experts. Human Civilizations Judgment Day. Referring to this sentence and this personality portrait, analyze his expressions and body movements.
Yes
To avoid mutual interference, the three experts split up and started analyzing their respective photos.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged team leader shut his eyes and fell into thought as he waited for the experts results.
Personally, the conclusion he wanted to hear from the three experts mouth was that Chen Yu was only trying to mystify a simple topic to attract attention. However, he knew that this was almost impossible
A dozen minutes later, the three experts had finished going through the photos. After combining their analysis with Chen Yus personality portrait, they all came to their own conclusions.
Let me hear it. Opening his eyes, the middle-aged team leader let out a tired sigh as he asked, Which one of you will go first?
After exchanging a few glances with each other, the eldest of the three experts raised his hand and said, Ill go first.
Go on.
The eldest expert opened his notebook and sorted out the words in his mind. He then said, Of the photos in my hand, 32 of them show the target discretely creasing his brows while walking, with one-third of his inner brows twisted upwards. The upper eyelids are also lifted, exposing the upper edge of the iris.
The targets lip muscles are also contracted slightly, and his upper lip is lifted to a point where it slightly exposes his upper teeth. The most crucial point is the platysma muscles contraction, which causes the target to subconsciously stretch his mouth, making the horizontal width of his mouth larger than its relaxed state.
These micro-expressions indicate that the target is in a state of fear.
After saying so, the eldest expert flipped to the next page of his notebook and continued, Another 16 photos show the targets corrugator supercilii muscle forming slight wrinkles. After communicating with other people, the targets irises enlarge slightly when he starts walking again. The opening of his eyes also increases, though the lifting of the upper eyelids is subdued.
This shows that he will feel uneasy when falling into a state of thought.
As for the last 40 or so pictures, they show the target closing his lips, concealing a small portion of it. In addition, the corners of his mouth are closed to the extent that they caused his cheeks to bulge. This proves that there exists a lot of pressure.
He, is worried.
Fear, anxiety, and worry. The eldest expert wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. The above is my analysis. Combined with the text announcement the target made, something terrible might happen soon
The middle-aged team leader subconsciously clenched his fists upon hearing the experts analysis.
He had heard the conclusion he was most reluctant to hear.
For a moment, he felt a puff of cold air trailing down his spine.
Chen Yu was a high school student who wielded future technology, possessed an unconstrained imagination and a carefree personality, and lacked in-depth knowledge about society. The middle-aged team leader simply couldnt imagine what kind of crisis could cause such an individual to panic to such an extent.
Hu
After taking a deep breath, the middle-aged team leader looked toward the two other experts and asked, What about your conclusions?
The same.
The same.
Suddenly, the depressing silence enveloped the office.
Nobody said anything as their brains struggled with guesswork and panic.
After a while, the middle-aged team leader hoarsely said, You guysstep down for now. Leave the photos and notebooks.
Yes, sir.
The three experts were also a little absent-minded at the moment. After putting away the photos and notebooks, they promptly left the office in a line.
Meanwhile, the team leader reached to grab the photos and gave them another look. He then silently inserted the photos and notebooks into the shredder.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap
At this moment, even the sound of his finger tapping on the table caused his scalp to turn numb.
After some time, he picked up his communicator and ordered, Little Wu, notify the higher-ups network supervision department and have them raise the blocking level to maximum. Afterward, notify all main team members who are still in the capital to come to my place for a meeting.
Yes, sir.
Perhaps, Chen Yu had known that with the influence he presently held, just what kind of storm he would create in the world if he published such an announcement
Chapter 202 - Deep-seated Fear (2)
Chapter 202 C Deep-seated Fear (2)
Click.
Pushing open the security door, Chen Yu arrived back home together with Chen Sanke.
Huh?
As soon as Chen Yu stepped into the house, his nose twitched, and he frowned, Why is there the smell of barbecue?
Big Brother! My snacks! Chen Sanke paid no attention to the smell in the house. After grabbing the bag of snacks in Chen Yus hand, she ran away laughing.
How heavy. Chen Sanke wobbled straight into the master bedroom and placed the snacks on her small bed. After giving her waist a rub, she pulled out two packets of sandwich biscuits, hurried out of the bedroom, and looked around.
Third Eldest, what are you doing?
II want to hide them. I cant let Big Sisters know.
Oh. Realization dawned upon Chen Yu.
Woof~ Realization dawned upon the husky.
After making several rounds in the living room, Chen Sanke hid her biscuits underneath the sofa and TV cabinet. She then returned to the master bedroom and grabbed four bags of roasted seaweed. And under Chen Yu and the huskys earnest gazes, she hid the seaweed behind the flower bed.
Afterward, she hid away three bags of potato chips, two bags of beef jerky, five bottles of yogurt, a bag of Wangwang crisps, a bag of Wangzai steamed buns
Meanwhile, Chen Yu and the husky watched all of this happen with a blank gaze.
Ive hidden everything! Chen Sanke cheered happily. I wont lose them this time.
Chen Yu: Sure.
The husky: Woof.
Woof my ass. Follow me. Chen Yu dragged the husky to the bathroom by its ear. You didnt mess around at home today, right?
NOooo. The husky solemnly shook its head.
Good. Since you listened to what I said, take this cigarette, Chen Yu said as he pulled out a Hongtashan[1] and clipped it on the huskys ear. He then turned around and left.
Ptui~
Once Chen Yu left, the husky sneered and shook its head, sending the Hongtashan falling into the toilet. It then reached under the sink with its paw, pulled out a pack of Chunghwa[2], and calmly pulled out a cigarette
Meanwhile, as soon as Chen Yu returned to his bedroom, the leisurely expression he wore in front of his little sisters disappeared. Lying down on his bed, he let out a deep sigh.
M-Mr. Chen, youre back?
Mhm.
Oh. Little Peach rapidly typed away at the keyboard while sneaking a glance at Chen Yu.
Sensing Little Peachs gaze on him, Chen Yu turned around and asked, What are you looking at me like that for?
N-Nothing Little Peach hurriedly turned away.
Hm? Growing suspicious, Chen Yu sat up and visually inspected Little Peach. Youdidnt get into trouble, right?
No! Little Peach fervently shook her head. How could that be possible?! Im your most obedient romance robot! I wont cause you any trouble!
Why do I feel that something is wrong with you
Nothings wrong at all! Little Peach vowed.
After staring at Little Peach for a while, Chen Yu stopped thinking and laid back on his bed.
At this time, he had more important things to think about.
Seeing this, Little Peach breathed out a sigh of relief. However, after typing on the keyboard for another few minutes, she cautiously said, M-Mr. Chen
What?
I have something I want to tell you.
Crap! Glaring at Little Peach, Chen Yu said, I freaking knew you got into trouble!
No, no! Little Peach waved her hands repeatedly. I-Its just that a problem came up with a program I designed, and II had to compensate money to the buyer
You lost money? How much?
T-Ten thousand Chinese yuan Im sorry
Is that it? Hearing Little Peachs answer, Chen Yu indifferently waved his hand and said, You didnt do it on purpose. Just be careful next time.
Mhm! Little Peach was moved. Mr. Chen, youre really kind.
Focus on coding, and dont disturb me. Im a little irritated right now.
Mhm! Ill work hard! Little Peach declared with her fists raised. At the same time, she inwardly swore, Ill definitely win next time
Chen Yu laid on his bed from morning to noon. However, the more he rested, the more tired he felt.
Climbing out of bed, he picked up the Civilizations Shining Moment and sternly flipped through the journal
After flipping through the hundred pages, Chen Yu grabbed a notebook and wrote down a series of product names.
Golden Middle Finger.
Interstellar Portal.
Weather Control Module.
IAI Island-building Ship.
Full-coverage Special Protective Suit.
Type-K Beast Armor.
Maglev Train.
The above seven high-tech products were currently the assets he possessed.
As for the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes, Quantum Reading Glasses, Life Sphere, etc., he didnt count them as part of his assets. They didnt possess much value either.
Chen Yu stared at the seven listed products. However, even after his eyes had turned bloodshot, he still hadnt figured out a way he could cope with the impending crisis.
Logically, since humans existed in the far future, and these humans had even sent him so many products for advertisement, this proved that humans did not go extinct.
However, this was only under the premise that parallel universes did not exist.
Meanwhile, through his first time communicating with the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff, he had found out that time, space, and the future were complex matters.
On the one hand, there was the time paradoxs single universe. On the other hand, there was the complex and changeable multiverse. Chen Yu could not help but have a headache as he thought about these two matters.
The conflicting point between the two was as contradictory and irreconcilable as quantum mechanics and general relativity
And even if there was only a single universe, while humans wouldnt go extinct, he did not know whether human civilization would suffer severe damage from the upcoming crisis.
And even when Chen Yu consulted the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff, the reply he got was a simple, This is part of the solar systems history.
Due to this reason, Chen Yu did not feel confident about humanitys chances against this upcoming catastrophe.
Snap.
Closing his notebook, Chen Yu stood up and walked up the window. He then silently looked up into space.
Mr. Chen, what are you looking at? Little Peach curiously asked as he followed Chen Yus gaze.
Im looking at how terribly scary deep space is
The next day, 8:50 AM:
The special situation teams of the worlds various governments started getting busy.
The middle-aged team leader of Chinas special situation team also arrived at the Observer Foundations headquarters in New York, America, together with his team members. He then briefly conversed with the other people present while making the necessary preparations.
Transdimensional Review was only hosting an additional livestream today.
However, due to the announcement made on Transdimensional Reviews channel last week, everyone treated this upcoming additional livestream with far more urgency than they did with the official livestreams.
Every government and academic circle in the world, including the ordinary people who knew of Transdimensional Reviews existence, were quietly waiting before their screens for the additional livestream.
Or, to put it in another way, everyone was waiting for the Transdimensional Reviews UPs verdict.
Everyone was inwardly conflicted.
This was especially true for ordinary people. They found the situation to be novel yet unsettling and exciting yet despairing. To put it simply, they were eager to watch the excitement, yet they were afraid of being hurt.
Mr. Chen, are you sure you want to wear this for today? Little Peach asked as she unfolded a suit. It feels strange seeing you wear a suit.
Theres nothing strange about it.
Chen Yu accepted the suit and quietly put it on. I just feel like being a little formal. Anyway, todays livestream isnt a review.
What about me? Should I wear a suit as well?
You dont need to attend this livestream.
I dont? Little Peach was surprised.
Mhm. Stay at home. Chen Yu nodded. He then put on his mask, clamped the journal in his armpit, and pushed open the Interstellar Portal.
M-Mr. Chen, are you okay?
Im fine. Dont worry, Chen Yu said. In the next moment, however, he paused his footsteps and pointed at the rolled-up poster sitting on his bed, Bring that to me.
Little Peach grabbed the poster, and hesitantly handed it to Chen Yu.
After accepting the poster, Chen Yu unfurled it and swept a glance at the picture printed on it. He then walked across the door and said, Im leaving.
Bang.
The Interstellar Portal closed.
Little Peach, however, remained standing still with a stunned expression on her face.
With the astronomy knowledge she learned in the past few days, she recognized the thing drawn on the poster.
That was the most extreme celestial body in the universe

The Pacific Ocean, deep sea, island-building ships hall:
Chen Yu walked through the Interstellar Portal and disconnected the spatial link. He then adjusted the portals shape into a metal arch.
After sweeping his gaze around the empty hall, he went upstairs along a spiral escalator. He then entered a study and sat down on the wooden chair before the study desk.
The study had a large screen in place of a window. Currently displayed on the screen was the scene of waves hitting a beach. The screen even simulated the subtle sound of the waves.
Chen Yu looked through the window for a moment before changing the background to the universes deep space. He then pasted the poster beside the screen.
Its nine oclock.
After doing these things, Chen Yu looked at the time and started his livestream without hesitation.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, Youtube, Kuaishou, and Tiktok activation complete!]
[Total viewer count: 0]
As soon as access was opened to the livestream rooms, IPs flooded into them.
25,932.
390,055.
2,683,934.
5,440,911
In just three seconds, the total viewer count had exceeded five million!
This was the peak of Chen Yus popularity since he began livestreaming.
[Ahh! Its here!]
[First.]
[First]
[Host, are you messing with us?]
[Death to clickbait titles!]
[I havent slept for a week. Are aliens invading?]
[Crap! Why are you dressed so formally?!]
[Earth is dying. Im going to go burn some paper.]
[Is the sun expanding?]
[Is it a supernova explosion?]
[Its time to activate the Wandering Earth Project.]
[I have a bad feeling about this.]
[If Earth really is going to get destroyed, I hope the UP doesnt tell us about it. :)]
After waiting for 20 seconds and seeing that the total viewer count had broken past the seven-million-mark, Chen Yu quietly said, Good morning, friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream.
Todays review is a little special. It isnt an interactive livestream, and we wont be reviewing any products either. Instead, I have an announcement to make.
Different from his past livestreams, Chen Yu spoke in a steady and deep tone today. Due to this change, everyone watching the livestream felt as if an invisible mountain was weighing down on them.
For a time, a heavy and unsettling atmosphere spread in the livestream rooms.
When I found out about this news, I hesitated to inform everyone because knowing about it will undoubtedly disrupt your originally peaceful life. However, after long considerationI think it is necessary to prepare everyone in advance. Judgement Day is already upon us.
As humans living on the same planet, we should all have the right to know about this. I am not the government, so I will not and cannot consider such complicated issues. I am merely a transdimensional reviewer, here to give everyone a glimpse of the future worlds landscape.
And this landscape includes technology and disaster
After saying so, without giving his audience any extra time to think, Chen Yu pulled out the Civilizations Shining Moment from his breast pocket. After setting the journal on the table, he continued, Its name is Civilizations Shining Moment, and it is a journal that began serialization in 2030. It records the series of major historical events human civilization has experienced starting from 2030. We can treat it as the future edition of the historical records or the history pages of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
In the future, it is the most authoritative, important, and historically valuable journal of human civilization.
Meanwhile, the one in my hands is the February 2041 Edition, and it records the most terrifying astronomical discovery made in 2041. It is also the Judgment Day I wish to share with everyone today.
Yes
Looking up, Chen Yu flatly said, According to history, it was discovered in 2041. However, while two decades separate us, Earth has been subjected to the dangers it generates all this time. We will also be able to physically experience one of these dangers in a few more months.
[Crap What the hell is it?]
[The UP doesnt seem to be joking.]
[It doesnt matter if the world is going to be destroyed or not. I just want to know where the female assistant is ?]
[Where did the female assistant go? +1]
[Isnt the disaster still 20 years away? I cant slack off with my hands!]
[You bunch of animals]
[Maybe humanitys destruction is a good thing]
Lets stop the opening speech here. Everyone should already have a preliminary understanding of this matter. Now, I will explain the ins and outs of this crisis.
After saying so, he flipped to the journals first page, took out the notes he sandwiched there, and began to read the notes in a steady rhythm.
As we all know, before 2006, there were nine planets in the Solar System. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
But in 2006, Pluto was removed from the list due to the discovery of Eris, a planet with a mass 27% greater than Pluto.
This discovery has also forced the global astronomer community to reconsider the definition of planets. After all, if celestial bodies similar in mass to Pluto are also defined as planets, there will be too many planets in the Solar System. This is especially true if we include the Kuiper belt and asteroid belt. The number of such celestial bodies is innumerable.
Hence, in the International Astronomical Unions 26th General Assembly held in 2006, planetary conditions were redefined, and Pluto was excluded as a planet and reduced to the ranks of dwarf planets.
Chen Yu paused slightly to give the audience some time to sort out their thoughts. He then flipped to the second page and continued, At this point, the Solar System was reduced to only having eight planets. That is, until 2014 when astronomer Chad Trujillo discovered the strange state of a celestial body and speculated the existence of a ninth planet.
Lifting the journal, Chen Yu showed the image of a pink planet to the camera, This is the strange celestial body discovered in 2014 and the farthest asteroid in the Solar SystemCSedna. Its perihelion is 76 astronomical units, which is 11.3696 billion kilometers. Its distance from the sun is nearly twice that of Pluto.
In 2014, Chad Trujillo discovered that Sedna was actually affected by an invisible and massive perturbing celestial body. This celestial body has pulled Sednas orbit outside of the ecliptic, causing it to have a large orbital inclination with the ecliptic. Afterward, many asteroids in the Kuiper belt have also been found to have experienced this phenomenon.
As of 2015, over 30 asteroids are known to be affected by this celestial body.
From this point onward, humans began paying attention to this mysterious perturbing celestial body and referred to it as the ninth planet in academia.
After saying so, Chen Yu flipped to the journals third page.
The time is now January 2016. Two ordinary researchers, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, at the California Institute of Technology, further dug into this mysterious planets data. They concluded that the mass of this planet is 10 to 30 times that of Earth. Its distance from the sun is also 600 astronomical units on average.
If anyone is interested, you can find the 92-page paper in the Physics Reports. You can find this information even on the internet.
At this point, it seems that the Solar Systems ninth planet is about to be discovered, and the astronomical academia cheered for this event. However
The time is now 2019, which is last year. More and more astronomers have discovered something wrong.
The so-called ninth planet is the disasters beginning
Chapter 204 - Non-existent Ninth Planet (2)
Chapter 204 C Non-existent Ninth Planet (2)
America, California Institute of Technologys Astronomy Department:
Dozens of astronomers and scientific researchers sat in the hall quietly watching Chen Yus livestream.
Alongside them, there was an Asian doing professional simultaneous translation.
Meanwhile, Chen Yus narration caused everyone in the room to shudder and break out in cold sweat.
They were all astronomers, so they knew more about what Chen Yu talked about than ordinary people. They could also associate much more deeply with his words.
Before the discovery of gravitational waves, Einstein had already concluded that such a thing existed.
When human beings had yet to charge out of the Earths atmosphere, the Ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras had already calculated that the Earth was round.
In the scientific world, some things didnt need to be seen to prove their existence.
Facts could be speculated.
Take the ninth planet Chen Yu mentioned for example. Since last year, the astronomical world had already discovered its anomaly. And with subsequent research, they found this anomaly to be increasingly frightening.
Meanwhile, Chen Yus livestream today had allowed all researchers researching this so-called ninth planet to instantly understand
What the ninth planets true identity was
In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, inside the island-building ships study, Chen Yus narration continued.
When Uranus was observed, astronomers inferred the existence of Neptune based on Uranuss irregular orbit. Afterward, Neptune was discovered.
Most planets in the Solar System are discovered in this way. They expose the existence of each other through gravitational drag.
So in 2016, people thought that the ninth planet would soon be discovered. However, in the following time, no matter what methods the astronomical society used, nobody was able to locate the existence of this mysterious planet.
It was as if this celestial body was invisible.
By 2019, more and more astronomers have noticed that something was wrong.
After saying so, Chen Yu flipped through a dozen pages of the journal and showed a set of data to the camera.
This is the information observed on this celestial body in 2019. One data set shows that this celestial body takes around 30,000 Earth years to make one revolution around the sun. The second set of data speculates that this celestial body wasnt born in the Solar System.
Because the Kuiper belt is a remnant after the Solar Systems formation, it is almost impossible for such a large planet to form in it. Therefore, this celestial body is a foreigner. Its existence is also a fact, and there can be no doubting this.
In that case, here comes the problem
Chen Yu straightened his mask, his voice becoming as dull as the deep ocean.
There is a celestial body that theoretically exists, is 10 times heavier than Earth, and affects countless nearby asteroids, yet why cant we discover it? Why cant we see it? Why cant we touch it? Why can we only detect it through gravity and not optically?
In October 2019, physicists Jacob Schultz of Durham University and James Enwin of the University of Illinois came up with a bold idea
After saying so, Chen Yu turned to the journals thirteenth page and showed the monochrome photos of the two researchers. Its these two.
Their guess is that the reason why this celestial body cannot be observed is that it isnt a planet at all
Instead, it is a black hole.
Boom!
Closing the journal, Chen Yu took a deep breath and faced the camera. Unfortunately, their conjecture is correct.
It, is a black hole.
As soon as Chen Yus voice fell, the livestream rooms bullet comment sections exploded!
[Nani?!]
[Stop joking around]
[Youre telling me theres a goddamned black hole in the Solar System?]
[My world view]
[Impossible!]
[Impossible!]
[Clickbait over.]
[Mr. Lu once said: When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.][1]
[Are you damned sure Mr. Lu said that?]
[I think Alexander the Great said it.]
[It is clearly Taishang Laojun.]
[Nonsense! Pan Jinlian said it!]
[Dammit! Are you guys not afraid at all?! A black hole! Thats a black hole!!]
[A white hole. A white tomorrow is waiting for us]
[Im going to seek refuge in the countryside.]
After a brief commotion, the bullet comment sections fell silent once more.
Chen Yu also fell silent as he waited for his seven million viewers to digest this bad news.
A minute later, he flipped to the middle part of the journal and continued, According to the latest research report in 2033, this is a primordial black hole. Its actual mass is 125 times that of Earth, but its size is smaller than a football.
It is speculated that this black hole has existed in the Solar System for at least one billion years.
Hearing this, many among the audience might feel relieved thinking that since this black hole has existed for over a billion years without causing us any harm, it is unlikely to do so in the near future either. Unfortunately, the truth is the exact opposite. After revolving around the sun for over a billion years, this black hole has moved a lot more closer to the sun.
In some research reports made in 2019, it is speculated that 100,000 years ago, this celestial body still took 40,000 years to revolve around the sun once. Now, it only needs 30,000 years. At that time, people still couldnt understand why such a strange orbital change had occurred.
However, everything makes sense if it is a black hole.
Raising three fingers, Chen Yu said, Three hundred thousand years. In just 300,000 years, this black hole will appear right in front of us.
This length of time is indeed very long. Most people in front of the screen might not care about this, but youve overlooked one point. There are many, many celestial bodies existing in the Solar System
Amidst the new flood of bullet comments, Chen Yu flipped to the second half of the journal and hastened his speech.
According to speculation, in 12,000 years, the black hole will collide with an asteroid named 2018 VG14, and the resulting fluctuations will sweep the entire Solar System.
In 6,400 years, under the black holes gravitational drag, Sednas orbit will continue to deviate, resulting in a series of complex chain reactions. At that time, Earths orbital angle will definitely be affected, resulting in orbital deviation.
In 700 years, the black hole will only be 320 astronomical units from the sun, the closest it will ever be in its current revolution.
In 25 years, the asteroid 2034 VG22 Gisella will brush shoulders with the black hole. According to computer analysis, the planet will be torn apart by the enormous gravitational force, and its remnants will fly into the Solar System at a 78-degree angle. There is a possibility it will collide with the sun, causing devastating consequences
In three months
Chen Yu paused his speech momentarily. Looking at the camera, he spoke clearly, The black hole will be 35 astronomical units away from Jupiter, the closest it will ever be in its 30,000-year revolution. Many near-Earth asteroids will have their orbits changed as a result, and an Amor asteroid named Bell will directly collide with Earth.
In other words, we wont need to wait 300,000 years, 10,000 years, 6,400 years, or 25 years.
Standing up, Chen Yu spread out his arms and said, In just three and a half months, we will get to feel the real threat this black hole brings to us.
And this is what I call humanitys Judgment Day.
Humanity only has three and a half months to deal with this asteroid. Then, within 25 years, we will have to deal with the asteroid named Gisella.
Otherwise, even if human civilization doesnt become history, it will still suffer unbearably severe damage.
Chen Yu stepped out of the study and had the camera follow after him. He then entered the hall, approached the protective suits maintenance pod, and opened the hatch.
Now, I will let everyone see this black hole with your own eyes. We will confirm its existence 20 years in advance
Chapter 205 - Touching…the Black Hole (1)
Chapter 205 C Touchingthe Black Hole (1)
Psh
White mist escaped from the maintenance pod as the hatch slowly opened.
[Air pressure normal. You may enter the cabin.]
After receiving the instruction, Chen Yu got into the cabin and put on the purple protective suit.
The next moment, robotic arms danced around him as they installed pieces of white armor all over his body.
Psh
The hatch opened once more, and Chen Yu stepped out of the cabin. He then looked at the camera and said, After finding out about the black hole, I tried locating it using the Interstellar Portal without any success. The portals database doesnt have the information on the black holes position and orbit. I dont know the black holes five-dimensional coordinates either, so locating it will be incredibly difficult.
However, during the past week, I figured out a way to locate it.
Approaching the portal, Chen Yu called out the virtual projection of the Earth. He then repeatedly zoomed out until the projection displayed the entire Solar System.
And that is to head to Sedna, a celestial body that is affected by the black hole, to feel the black holes gravitational force and determine its position.
After saying so, Chen Yu swiped his finger across the projection and located a pink asteroidSedna.
Right here.
Buzz!
Five seconds later, the space inside the metal arch distorted momentarily. A pink planet then appeared on the screens of the livestreams seven million viewers.
[Another journey on the road of troublemaking has begun.]
[I dont know whether I should be grateful for being able to see a black hole with my own eyes in my lifetime]
[What is a black hole?]
[I only care about that asteroid thats going to hit Earth.]
[Cant we blow it up with nukes?]
[Waiting for the UP to save the world]
Hu
Chen Yu took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He then stepped through the portal and traveled across hundreds of millions of kilometers into outer space.
In the next instant, the noise coming from his surroundings disappeared.
At this moment, the only thing he could hear was the sound of his heartbeat.
This, is the asteroid Sedna, or designation 2003 VB12. It is over 80 astronomical units away from the sun, and it is currently the most distant asteroid mankind has discovered. Of course, in another two decades or so, mankind will find an even farther asteroid named Gisella, which is also the asteroid the black hole will drag into the Solar System.
However, instead of calling it Gisella, I think it is better to call it Thanatos (the name of the god of death) because human civilization is likely to suffer severe damages because of it.
Sedna is one of the reddest celestial bodies in the Solar System. Its surface is composed of water, methane, nitrogen, and tholin. Our target this time isnt Sedna, though, so just a brief introduction of it will do.
After saying so, Chen Yu ignored the pink world under his feet and turned to look into the deep space in search of traces of the black hole.
Many numerical values are currently displayed inside my helmet, one of which shows several data sets of the surrounding gravitational changes. The largest source of gravitation is undoubtedly Sedna, while the second-largest source is the sun. As for the third-largest source
Under the gaze of the worlds government officials, astronomers, and the livestreams seven million viewers, Chen Yu suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a particular direction!
There!
Chen Yu turned the camera and aimed it into the deep and dark space.
Aside from darkness, however, nothing else existed there.
That place is the Solar Systems edge, and neither Jupiter nor Saturn are in that direction. That place isnt in the orbital plane either
It seems we found it quite easily.
The black hole.
[Amazing]
[We cant see the black hole, so we can only find it using gravity.]
[The black holes accretion disk is luminous!]
[Apparently, this black hole doesnt have an accretion disk. ( ????)]
[Why are you looking for the black hole? Hurry up and solve that asteroid!]
[The black holes existence must be confirmed first. Otherwise, the host will just be making empty talk.]
[I already believe him]
Whoosh
Activating the plasma engine, Chen Yu flew through the portal and returned to the island-building ships hall. He then quickly operated the portals virtual projection.
Since weve determined the black holes general location, now all we need to do is advance in that direction
While saying so, Chen Yu finished adjusting the angle and distance of the spatial distortion. He then established the spatial link.
Buzz!
When the spatial link was established, the pink planet inside the portal turned into pure black space.
Seeing this, Chen Yu walked out of the cameras view and grabbed a large rock he had prepared in advance. Im sure I dont need to explain the dangers of a black hole. For safetys sake, I can only try my best to find an appropriate critical point.
These rocks that Ive prepared will be my method of testing for the critical point. We can determine the distance between me and the black hole based on the speed at which the rock is dragged by the black hole. I admit that this is an absurd and laughable method, but it is indeed effective.
Chen Yu made a rare, self-deprecating shrug. He then gently moved the rock across the thin film separating the island-building ship and outer space before removing his grip.
Afterward, the released rock started spinning and slowly advancing toward the black hole.
Sure enough, the black hole is in front, Chen Yu said in a serious tone. He then removed his left glove and swiped a finger across his watchs screen. Now, I need the help of the aerospace research institute. Im sure you guys are watching the livestream. Ive previously given you access to privately message me. Please calculate the distance between me and the black hole based on the rocks speed. The rocks mass is about 10 kilograms.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the aerospace research institutes private message arrived.
We already know the black holes mass, so the rocks mass is not important. Please wait for a moment. The calculation is in progress.
Seeing the private message, Chen Yu nodded, Okay.
Beijing, aerospace research institute:
Quick! Calculate it quickly! the old director shouted as he slapped the table. The black holes mass is 125 times the Earth! Make multiple calculations! There can be no mistakes!
The researchers in the hall immediately started making the necessary calculations nervously.
The black holes mass is 125 times the Earth, and the rocks diameter is about 35 centimeters. Based on the rocks shrinking rate, the initial falling speed is estimated to be about 0.3 meters per second. The universal gravitation formula is F=GMm/r^2, the gravitational constant is 6.671 The result is
After the sound of intensive keyboard tapping went on for half a minute, the five teams in the room simultaneously came up with their results.
We got 1.2 million kilometers.
Director, we got 1.1 million kilometers.
We got 1.25 million.
We got 1.2 million kilometers here.
We got 0.4 light-years W-Wait, let us recalculate.
Not even bothering to reprimand the last team, the old director immediately sent Chen Yu a safe estimate based on the first four teams results.
So, its 1.2 million kilometers away?
After receiving the aerospace institutes reply, Chen Yu put on his glove and moved the spatial link forward by one million kilometers.
The aerospace institutes result is 1.2 million kilometers. To be on the safe side, well move the Interstellar Portal forward by one million kilometers.
Five seconds later, the spatial link was successfully established.
Similar to before, a black space existed beyond the portal.
Maybe it was because they realized they were only 200,000 kilometers away from the black hole, but the audience in the livestream rooms suddenly felt a chilling fear assault their hearts.
The black hole, one of the most extreme celestial bodies in the universe.
Humanity was finally about to touch it up close
Chapter 206 - Touching…the Black Hole (2)
Chapter 206 C Touchingthe Black Hole (2)
On one side, there was the Earths Pacific Ocean.
On the other side, there was the Solar Systems edge located several hundred astronomical units away.
One door connected these two spaces.
Chen Yu stood on one end of the Interstellar Portal and picked up the second rock. After pausing for a moment, he tossed the rock across the portal.
In just 20 seconds, the rock with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters disappeared into the terrifying darkness
The direction is still correct. The black hole is not far ahead.
Removing his glove once more, Chen Yu glanced at his watch before saying, The research institute just sent in the second calculations results. The gravitational acceleration the rock experienced is 2.2 meters per second, and we are within 150,000 kilometers of the black hole. The acceleration caused by my toss is also included.
Well, then
Lowering his watch, Chen Yu looked at the camera and said, Lets continue advancing.
Another 100,000 kilometers!
As bullet comments flooded the five livestream rooms, Chen Yu calibrated his destination to within 50,000 kilometers of the black hole.
After the prompt for a successful link sounded, he picked up a one-meter-diameter rock and threw it into the darkness.
This time, the rock fell exceptionally quickly! In just three seconds, it had disappeared from Chen Yus and the audiences vision.
[Crap! Its gone?!]
[Isnt the acceleration a little too scary?]
[Theres nothing scary about it. Its not a stellar-mass black hole. Its mass is only over 100 times of the Earth.]
[Disaster is clearly imminent, yet I still cant help but type lololol]
[Ditto.]
[We can basically confirm the black holes existence now. If it was a planet, theres no way we cant see its surface now that the gravitational acceleration has reached such an extent.]
[Why doesnt the black holes gravity suck the host through the portal?]
[Please rewatch the hosts first livestream.]
[I have 300,000 yuan in savings. UP, if you cant save humanity, Ill enjoy it with my family.]
[The world is going to be messed up at that time. Where are you going to spend it at? I bought plane tickets already, though.]
[I already sold my house. :)]
[You guys should calm down]
Inside the aerospace institute, as the researchers got more and more data, their calculations got more accurate.
The mass is 7.45625000E+26. The gravitational acceleration is 20.72 meters per second
Forty-nine thousand kilometers!
Forty-nine thousand kilometers!
Me too.
After obtaining the data, the old director immediately forwarded it, Mr. King, you are only 49,000 kilometers away from the black hole.
Inside the island-building ship, after Chen Yu received the old directors message, he displayed his watchs screen to the camera and said, There are 49,000 kilometers remaining. The direction is still correct.
We are already at a very close distance. The distance is approximately the circumference of Earths equator.
In a vacuum, I can fly at a minimum of 1,000 meters per second in my protective suit, which is much greater than the escape velocity at this distance. So, it should be safe for me to move a little farther forward.
Well advance another 20,000 kilometers!
[Farewell.]
[Farewell.]
[Farewell.]
[Farewell.]
Operating the portal, Chen Yu had it advance by another 20,000 kilometers.
When the spatial link was established, darkness still reigned within the metal arch. Without a reference, it looked as if the portal had not moved closer to the black hole at all.
Whoosh
The fourth rock flew across the portal. In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace
Shortly afterward, the aerospace research institutes calculation results arrived once more.
The rocks acceleration is 59.16 meters per second, and we are 29,000 kilometers away from the black hole.
After double-checking the distance, Chen Yu started manipulating the virtual projection while casually explaining, We are less than 30,000 kilometers away. If Earth is so close to the black hole, the resulting tidal force will instantly tear the Earth apart. In the scale of the universe, were basically within arms reach of the black hole. Now, lets continue advancing
Another 20,000 kilometers!
When the fifth spatial link was successfully established, the portals warning indicator suddenly lit up in orange.
This light represented the first level of warning.
The spatial film was currently being tugged at by a strong gravitational force
The Interstellar Portal has three levels of warning: orange, red, and black. If the warning indicator lights up with a red color, it represents extreme danger. If it turns black, the spatial link cannot be established. As we are only receiving an orange warning now, everyone doesnt need to be nervous.
After saying so, Chen Yu picked up the fifth rock and threw it into the darkness.
In an instant
The rock disappeared.
The speed at which the rock was dragged toward the black hole far exceeded the upper limits of human dynamic vision.
Chen Yu subconsciously took a step back before looking at the camera and saying, Can you calculate the rocks flight speed? And how far am I from the black hole?
Ten seconds later, a reply came from the aerospace research institute. Im very sorry, Mr. King. The video your camera recorded doesnt contain sufficient information. After slowing it down to a certain extent, the information becomes too blurry. We cannot accurately calculate the rocks acceleration. Can you bring a group of the institutes experts and professional equipment with you?
After looking at the rely, Chen Yu hesitated for a while before nodding, Okay, Ill head over now.
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled up the aerospace institutes coordinates he previously saved and established a spatial link.
When the portal opened, the sight of 14 researchers standing in the middle of a plaza appeared. These researchers carried all sorts of tools, equipment, and notebooks on them, their bodies shivering as they stood in the cold outdoors.
Oh!
Hes here!
Hurry up and cross over. We cant let the lithium batteries freeze.
Bring the stand! Hurry!
The fourteen researchers quickly swarmed through the portal. Without even greeting Chen Yu, they immediately started setting up an ultra-high frame rate camera and all sorts of computing devices.
Everyones faces were flushed with excitement.
Would the Earth be destroyed?
Would humanity go extinct?
Did the universe exist?
In their eyes, none of these things mattered!
A black hole!
This was a black hole they were talking about!
It was even a primordial black hole that could be observed up close!
Just acquiring the black holes gravitational acceleration data at different distances would already create a revolutionary breakthrough in the physics world
After the researchers were done setting up their equipment, the person in charge approached Chen Yu while carrying a rock that had been accurately weighed and measured. The person in charge then suppressed his excitement before saying, M-Mr. King, were ready.
Okay.
Chen Yu didnt say much and simply accepted the rock. He then approached the portal and adjusted the portals spatial coordinates. Once that was done, he threw the rock through the portal under the floating cameras and high frame rate cameras focus.
Whoosh
Darkness instantly enveloped the rock. It didnt even leave behind a trail of light as it disappeared
Beep!
A buzz came from the ultra-high frame rate camera. Immediately, the researchers exported the video data, and nervously conducted their calculations.
The gravitational acceleration is 593.65 meters per second, a=GM/r^26.6726 times 10 minus one-tenth of M-m^2/kg^2
M=5.965 multiplied by 10 to the power of 24 multiplied by 125
I got the result!
A middle-aged researcher abruptly jumped up excitedly and yelled, The black holes distance is 9,154,730 meters! Its accurate!
I also derived the black holes mass, another researcher said. 7.45625331E+26!
I also got the escape velocity. At a distance of 9,154,730 meters, the escape velocity is 104,255.92 meters per second.
A hundred thousand meters per second?! Chen Yu was stunned. Doesnt that mean I cant escape once I go in?
Hearing this, the researchers became momentarily stunned as well, though for a different reason. A moment later, a female researcher hurriedly stepped forward and explained, Mr. King, that isnt the case. You have misunderstood the escape velocitys meaning. The escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from a massive bodys gravitational influence. In other words, if youre moving at this speed, you can swing out of the black holes gravitational field even without thrust! If you have continuous thrust, you can fly out of the gravitational field even if you are far from reaching the escape velocity. It is sufficient so long as your flight speed is greater than the falling speed.
I see. Realization dawned upon Chen Yu. He then asked, That means I can continue advancing, right?
Yes, yes, yes! x14
The researchers nodded like little chicks pecking at rice, and they stared at Chen Yu with glowing eyes.
That Chen Yu vaguely felt that something was amiss. If we continue moving forward, how many kilometers will be appropriate?
Go forward by another 5,000 kilometers!
I-Isnt that a little too much?
No. A middle-aged researcher stepped forward and patted his chest, saying, Please trust us!
Chen Yu:
Chapter 207 - Touching…the Black Hole (3)
Chapter 207 C Touchingthe Black Hole (3)
Please trust us!
The researchers simultaneously patted their chests in assurance.
Fine
Placing his trust in the professionals, Chen Yu hesitantly manipulated the Interstellar Portal and moved it forward by another 5,000 kilometers.
Buzz!
The next moment, the orange indicator suddenly turned red!
Chen Yu:
[Its red! Its red!]
[UP, stop messing around. Youve done enough]
[Crap! Young man, are you playing with your life? Crap!]
[Is it possible to measure the singularitys data from this distance?]
[There are only a little more than 4,000 kilometers to the black hole, damn]
[Lets take a look at the black hole together? The kind that collapses into atoms?]
Turning around, Chen Yu stared at the researchers in a daze.
The researchers also stared at him in a daze.
For a moment, an awkward silence filled the hall.
This distance After a long silence, Chen Yu asked, Is it really alright?
It should be a male researcher said before looking at the female researcher beside him.
Maybe the female researcher said before she looked at another researcher.
Probably the third researcher said as he looked at his group leader.
I think the group leader said before turning to look at the person in charge of this operation.
It should be fine, right? the person in charge said as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
I want an accurate answer!!
Well know if you try it! x14
You guys just want more data, right?! Chen Yu roared.
Mhm, mhm. x14
Dammit! You actually admitted without hesitation.
After pondering for a while, Chen Yu picked up the sixth rock and threw it into the portal without another word.
Crack Crack
The rock that was originally half a diameter in size was instantly torn apart and dragged through the spatial film by the terrifying gravity
Chen Yu:
Quick! Quickly calculate!
Little Zhang, come to my group to calculate the gravity.
Ive simulated the model.
Quick! Send it over here!
The researchers grew excited once more, and they began whispering among themselves as they conducted their respective calculations.
One minute later
The gravitational acceleration is 2882.31 meters per second!
The distance is 4,154,681 meters.
The escape velocity is 154,658.29 meters per second
We have enough data!
The person in charge strode toward a laptop and quickly entered all the data he received
A moment later, groups of data appeared on the screen one after another. At the same time, the computers heat dissipation system automatically ramped up to the maximum.
One second.
Five seconds.
Seventeen seconds
The body of the person in charge suddenly shook.
I-Its out
Chen Yu curiously stepped forward at this mention, and when he laid eyes on the dozens of rows of data before him, he could not help but be stunned.
[Schwarzschild radius: 1.443m]
[Black holes diameter: 9cm]
[Black holes mass: 7.45625332E+26]
[Black holes core gravitational acceleration: 1.990102949E+18 m/s^2]
[Black holes core escape velocity: 1410710087.15 m/s]
[Black holes horizon: 1.311m]
[Black holes core density]
[Singularity]
[]
The data list seemed to extend infinitely, and Chen Yu could not help but be dazzled by all the information. However, he quickly resisted the numbness of his scalp and continued reading.
After all, every set of data here represented a major breakthrough in physics!
In such a way, humanity had bypassed gaseous planets, stars, supergiant stars, and neutron stars, directly obtaining real data of a black hole
It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that humanitys originally fading technology boom would continue extending from this moment onward! Moreover, the speed of technological development might even double!
[Please redirect the camera, thank you.]
[Is it the black holes detailed data? I want to see it too!]
[Dont even think about it. The public cant see such information at this stage.]
[Im confused. Whats the point of studying a black hole?]
[Just thinking about it scares me. The Earth has the moon to drive the tides, and the moon also has numerous vital elements on its surface. Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune are also there to help stabilize Earths orbit. And not only does the Earth have a single star to support it, but it even has two gaseous planets to supply it with an inexhaustible supply of energy. Now, there is also this primordial black hole that poses minimal danger yet has the greatest research value out of all celestial bodies]
[This is the start of human civilizations dream!]
[Scientists have long since suspected that the Milky Way galaxy is composed of mostly binary star systems. Single star systems like the Solar System are small in number. The Solar System even has eight planets in the right position. Not to mention, all the necessary elements for technological development are present in the Solar System. This is too much of a coincidence.]
[Moreover, there is the Proxima Centauri four light-years away. There are very few star systems so close to each other, even in the Orion Arm.]
[It frankly scares me now that Ive thought more in-depth into the matter]
After quickly reading through the data, Chen Yu shook his head regretfully.
They had failed to analyze the last and most crucial piece of data.
According to his knowledge, if they wanted to get this data, they would have to go deep into the black holes horizon.
However, upon entering the black holes horizon, even light, which traveled at over 300,000 kilometers per second, could not escape
M-Mr. King, can you continue moving forward? the person in charge asked excitedly as he looked at Chen Yu. Raising a finger, he said, A thousand kilometers! Just move forward by another thousand kilometers! We need to see the data there!
Okay.
Chen Yu accepted the middle-aged mans request. Without hesitation, he disconnected the spatial link and readjusted the coordinates.
Buzz!
The instant he tried to establish the spatial link, however, the Interstellar Portals warning indicator lit up with a black light, and the portal forcefully shut itself down.
The gravitational force is too strong, Chen Yu said as he looked at the person in charge. He then looked to the camera and shrugged to his eight million viewers, The spatial distortion caused by the massive gravitational force is preventing us from locating the space there.
Hah The person in charge sighed regretfully as he stared at the metal arch.
Thats it for today. Reaching out, Chen Yu reactivated the Interstellar Portal. Youve obtained your data, and we cant advance any further forward. So, now, help me calculate how close I can get to the black hole without getting sucked in.
Okay! Well calculate it for you right away!
Now that the researchers already had the black holes data model, all they needed to do was enter Chen Yus protective suits average speed to find out the safe distance.
Seven thousand kilometers! a female researcher said with her hand raised. At a distance of 7,000 kilometers, the black holes gravitational acceleration is 1015.36 meters per second. So long as your speed exceeds this value, youll be safe. Otherwise
Otherwise, what? Chen Yu asked.
Youll fall into the black hole at an increasingly faster speed until you are infinitely close to reaching the speed of light. According to the no-hair theorem, all information of your existence will disappear, leaving only mass, angular momentum, and electric charge.
Huh? Noticing a problem, Chen Yu asked, According to your data, the black holes core gravitational acceleration can reach hundreds of millions of kilometers per second. Isnt this much faster than the speed of light?
B-But you will never reach the core. You will stop at about oneone meter away from the black holes horizon, the female researcher said, slurring her words near the end. She had very nearly blurted out the exact value of 1.311 meters to the public.
I understand.
Chen Yu didnt ask any more questions. Sliding his finger across the virtual projection, he established a spatial link 7,000 kilometers away from the black hole.
Buzz!
The space within the metal arch fluctuated for an instant, revealing a dark world inside in the next moment.
Mr. King, you dont have to go out. We have already confirmed the black holes existence.
It doesnt matter. After all is said and done, I am an independent reviewer. Pointing his index finger at his temple, Chen Yu said, My main duty is to let my audience witness sceneries and magic. I want to let everyone see the black hole with their own eyes.
B-But this black hole has no accretion disk. It is invisible to the naked eye, the person in charge hesitantly said.
We can! Chen Yu said, shaking his head. After putting on his glove, he stepped through the portal while saying, I have a way
To let you see the black hole
Chapter 208 - Black Hole’s Romance (1)
Chapter 208 C Black Holes Romance (1)
The moment Chen Yu stepped through the portal, a gravitational force that he could not see, but actually existed, dragged him forward.
However, when he activated the protective suits plasma engine, the engines thrust canceled out the dragging force.
According to the data displayed in my helmet, my current speed is 1,020 meters per second. The black hole thats 7,000 kilometers away will not pose a threat to me at all. Moreover, the engines pressure is only at 75%. In other words, even if I move further forward, I can still easily escape out of the black holes influence.
However, for safetys sake, well set this distance as the limit.
After saying so, Chen Yu increased the engines pressure by 10% and slowly flew in a particular direction.
Logically, a black hole that doesnt have an accretion disk cannot be seen. However, I have a method that can let everyone witness the black holes existence.
Only, this method will require us to locate a special angle.
While searching for this angle, Ill give an explanation to the viewers who dont know much about astronomy. What is a black hole?
Facing the camera, Chen Yu recalled the script he memorized and slowly said, A black hole, to put it simply, is the product of a mass of matter compressed to the extreme.
If we put a cat through a hydraulic press, it will become very thin. If there is a magical hydraulic press capable of compressing the cat down to a few nanometers in thickness, every molecule of the cats hair, flesh, bones, and nerves will be crushed into atoms. These atoms will then be further crushed into neutrons. And finally, even the neutrons themselves will be destroyed
At that time, there will be no neutrons making up this cat. However, the cats weight still remains.
Hence, this cat has become a black hole of infinite mass.
[Cat: Meow?]
[What a horrible metaphor.]
[Truly easy to understand.]
[My husband is so smart!]
[Husband is so smart!]
[Smart+1]
[I know the principles, but where can I buy such a hydraulic press?]
[Have you all forgotten that the topic of this livestream is humanitys Judgment Day?]
[I didnt forget, but I still want to type lololol]
[Lololol]
As Chen Yus watch was covered by the protective suits glove, he couldnt see the audiences bullet comments. So, he continued on with his explanation.
Of course, it is impossible for a cat to collapse into a black hole. In the universe, only stars such as the sun can collapse into a black hole.
If our sun is dozens of times larger and becomes a giant star, once it exhausts its fuel for nuclear fusion, its outer shell will collapse inward. And under the drag of gravity, molecules, atoms, and neutrons will be crushed, eventually turning the sun into a black hole
This is the origin of most black holes in the universe.
Chen Yu paused for a moment to let the audience digest his explanation. Afterward, he continued, Many people will wonder how exactly humans managed to discover the existence of black holes. For this question, we will have to bring up the thighs supporting human civilizationEinstein.
In 1916, Einstein formally published the theory of relativity, and the whole world knelt down to worship it. At this time, the astronomer Schwarzchild, while holding onto the theory of relativity, calculated the gravitational field equation and came up with a vacuum solution. This solution shows that if a large amount of matter is gathered at a point, a spherical boundary will exist around this point. Meanwhile, any object that falls into this boundary will not be able to escape. Even light is not an exception.
Meanwhile, these incredible celestial bodies that theoretically existed were termed as black holes by the physicist John Archibald Wheeler.
The existence of black holes was utterly beyond the scope of academic understanding at that time, and many scholars were reluctant to believe it. However, Einsteins general theory of relativity had already been verified. Unless the theory of relativity is wrong, black holes must exist.
What happened later is something everyone should know.
Raising his thumb, Chen Yu said, The existence of black holes is proven through gravitational redshift and gravitational lensing.
[Awesome!]
[Lololol]
[Eye-opener.]
[Daddy Einsteins thighs are thick.]
Black holes are scary. Glancing at the gravitational data displayed inside his helmet, Chen Yu solemnly said, As long as you enter a black holes event horizon, you will be shredded until nothing but energy remains of you. Even Ant-Man wont survive.
Umlets stop our explanation here. Im quite close to that place now. Using these last few moments, Ill tell everyone something interesting.
Black holes only have three measurable physical properties: mass, angular momentum, and electric charge. Mass is weight, angular momentum is rotation, and electric charge is whether the black hole is charged.
Hence, in academia, while referencing these three physical properties, black holes are divided into four different types according to whether they are rotating, whether they are charged, and the Cartesian product. The four different types are: Schwarzschild black hole, R-N black hole, Kerr black hole, and Cole Newman black hole.
However, this kind of classification is too professional, and some of the audiences wont understand it. So, Ill use a method of classification for ordinary people and simply differentiate them by size.
After saying so, Chen Yu stretched out three fingers to the camera.
Miniature black holes, stellar black holes, and supermassive black holes!
Lets talk about supermassive black holes first. A supermassive black holes mass is beyond imagination, and it can even drive a galaxys rotation. For example, the Sagittarius A* (Sagittarius A-Star) black hole found in the Milky Ways Galactic Center. Its mass is 4.3 million times that of the sun! Note, not the Earth, but the sun!
There is also the Andromeda Galaxy next to the Milky Way. Its central black hole has a mass 33 million times that of the sun!
Another example is the Sombrero Galaxys central black hole, and its mass is 1.02 billion times!
There is also the Messier 87s central black hole we saw last year, and its mass is 6.5 billion times.
Ton 618, 66.6 billion times the mass of the sun. Just its Schwarzschild radius alone is 384 billion kilometers
After listing these supermassive black holes, Chen Yu could not help but sigh.
As for stellar black holes, like Ive previously mentioned, they are black holes formed from the collapse of stars. Their mass is generally several dozen times greater than the sun only, so well skip them.
Meanwhile, in the case of the black hole that has barged into our Solar System, it is a miniature, primordial black hole. Its mass is only 125 times that of the Earth. It was formed by the collapse of the universe during the Big Bang.
According to the Hawking radiation theory, a black hole that is formed will slowly radiate particles outward. If a black hole doesnt eat, it will evaporate, leaving behind only a permanent, Prandtl-length remnant. However, this is a long and slow process.
In other words, the black hole thats 7,000 kilometers away from me is 13.7 billion years old. It has witnessed the moment the Big Bang occurred.
[Shock]
[Compared to the universe, the Earth is like a bacteria.]
[And ancient people thought the universe revolves around the Earth, lolol.]
[Ive followed you since your first review, host! You know so much! Awesome!]
[Awesome my ass! Do you understand what copywriting is?]
[I curse your whole family! The host didnt copy anybody! Hes just awesome!]
[Host is awesome!]
[Awesome+1]
[Do you know how hardworking our host is?]
Weve arrived. After flying for another five minutes, Chen Yu halted his flight and opened his arms. This is the place.
As we all know, when subjected to a black holes gravitational force, even light cannot escape. However, what happens to the light that brushes past a black holes event horizon?
It will be distorted.
This phenomenon is called gravitational lensing.
Then, lets make a bold assumption
If we look at the sun through a black holewhat will happen?
Folding his hands together, Chen Yu spoke in an excited tone, The light going into the black hole will disappear, and the light brushing past the event horizon will get distorted. In this way, well get to visually see the black holes existence through the distortion of light!
The black holes gravitational force that is capable of absorbing even light just so happens to be the culprit that exposes the black holes existence!
[Crap?!]
[Makes sense]
[The legendary Einstein ring!]
[What a fantastic thought process.]
[Awesome! Awesome!]
[I was still wondering how were going to see it. It turned out to be such an easy method]
Meanwhile, my current location places the black hole directly between me and the sun.
Now, then, lets start counting down from three
Chen Yu started slowly adjusting the camera angle. Let us witness the true shape of the black hole!
Three.
Two.
One!
Chapter 209 - Black Hole’s Romance (2)
Chapter 209 C Black Holes Romance (2)
Two.
One!
As the camera moved, the eight million viewers in the livestream rooms simultaneously saw a bright spot appear in the dark space.
That was the sun that nurtured human civilization. It was the absolute master of the Solar System.
Even when separated by hundreds of astronomical units in the dark universe, the sun still looked as dazzling as ever. It radiated a mothers light that passed through the screen and shined upon everyones faces.
Meanwhile, as the camera continued moving, the warm light actually started getting distorted inch by inch!
It was as if a terrifying creature had just taken a bite out of the sun!
One second later, one-third of the sun got eaten
Three seconds later, half of the sun got eaten
Five seconds later
The darkness hidden in the surrounding deep space finally devoured the entire sun. But then, as if the tiny sun got enlarged, parts of it started escaping the darkness, enveloping it!
In the end, a twisted orb with a bright exterior and black interior took form!
The black holehad appeared!
Simultaneously, a magnificent symphony started playing in the five livestream rooms, further enhancing this great moment!
[A black hole! Its really a black hole!]
[To think you can use the sun as a background to expose the black holes full appearance Awesome!]
[This is called the Einstein ring. Although the correct angle is tough to find, it is still impressive nonetheless!]
[I see it. The dark spot in the middle is the black hole, right?]
[How beautiful]
[How about you try touching it?]
[Touch and die.]
[Crap!]
[Quick! Take a screenshot!]
[Looking at it, isnt the black hole just a few centimeters wide?]
[???]
[Honestly, this is a very touching moment.]
At this time, let alone the astronomers, even the ordinary people watching the livestream felt an inexplicable urge to weep.
This was the yearning and admiration intelligent life held toward the world outside the well.
On November 15, 2020, the human races inexperienced eyes finally saw the existence of a black hole.
This wasnt done through virtual simulation, theoretical depiction, or information imaging.
Instead, the black hole was clearly seen using through optics with the naked eye
There was no doubt that this scene would forever be recorded in the history of human civilization, never to be erased.
This was a milestone belonging to mankind!
Many people may ask me
While hovering in space, Chen Yu looked at the black hole encased by the sun and spoke with a slightly trembling voice, Why risk your life to find the black hole at such a close distance?
Yes. I am not an astronaut, an astronomer, a physicist, or a fan of the universe. So, why would I do this?
Lowering his raised arms, Chen Yu faintly said, Director Wang Yifang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences once said that while ordinary people dont need to understand science, but they must know how to appreciate it. The gravitational waves produced by the merger of two black holes have traveled for 1.5 billion years just to let us have a look at them Isnt this kind of romantic?
Now, a black hole that has wandered the universe for 13.7 billion years has entered the Solar System we live in. And this black hole has spent more than a billion years here patiently waiting for mankind to develop into the nuclear age and discover its existence. Isnt this an even greater romance?
Regardless of whether I am an astronaut, an astronomer, or a fan of the universe, as long as I have a mind, I must use my brain cells to record this romance forever in my mind.
Patting his chest, Chen Yu smiled and said, This is the soul that makes us stand out from the billions of other creatures living in the world, and its name is desire.
[Tears are filling my eyes!]
[Full marks for your composition.]
[Humans really are amazing]
[Its name is called acting cool. ( ????)]
[Shedding tears.]
[Begone, tear monster!]
[If humans can survive this disaster]
[Crap! Can you not set up a flag?! Are you cursing us?!]
After waiting for a full five minutes, Chen Yu turned the camera around and focused it on himself.
The black circle enveloped by the sun is the black hole. This is also the only way for humans to see a black hole with the naked eye. Truthfully, its difficult to find this kind of angle. After all, that black holes Schwarzschild radius is only around a meter. You can easily imagine how difficult it is to locate a one-meter circle from 7,000 kilometers away, not to mention getting it to overlap with the sun thats only a few centimeters larger.
The image everyone saw just now has actually been magnified countless times by a gravitational lens. The black holes real size is much smaller.
Meanwhile, the reason why I could find this angle is because of the accurate gravitational data provided by the protective suit. If we rely on modern technology, it is almost impossible to locate this angle.
Stretching out his hand, Chen Yu pointed at the black hole. He then ramped up the plasma engine and slowly retreated away from the black hole. It is hard to describe just how fearsome a black hole is. Despite looking like a small ball thats just a few centimeters in diameter from 7,000 kilometers away, it is actually capable of exerting a gravitational acceleration of over 1,000 meters per second on me.
Thats over 100 times the gravity of Earth! Without this protective suit, I wouldve been torn to shreds already.
So, I advise everyone to not get so close to a black hole.
[Only you will.]
[Only you will. +1]
[Only you will. +2]
[Can I go if I ride my beloved scooter?]
Under the fully pressurized plasma engines thrust, Chen Yu arrived back inside the island-building ships hall after just 10 minutes of flying through space.
Half of the 14 researchers were currently focused on making calculations inside the hall, while the other half were holding onto their phones and blankly staring at Chen Yu.
How was it? Chen Yu asked, Did the black hole look good?
In response, the researchers exchanged looks with each other before saying in unison, Theres no internet in the deep sea
Chen Yu:
The researchers:
Mhm, well, you guys can watch the video recording once you head back. It doesnt make much difference. Turning around, Chen Yu manipulated the Interstellar Portals virtual projection and established a new spatial link. He then turned back to the researchers and stepped aside, saying, Ive connected the portal to the aerospace institutes plaza. Make sure to take away all your equipment. Dont leave anything behind.
Seeing that Chen Yu was chasing them off, the person in charge of the researchers stepped forward and bowed, Thank you very much for your support in helping us get valuable data.
Youve also helped me calculate a safe travel distance. Its a mutual benefit.
We will work together with the global astronomy community to make plans for dealing with the asteroid thats going to hit earth three months later. We might need your help at that time, Mr. King.
I know. Chen Yu nodded. This is also the goal of my livestream this time. I wanted to let the worlds governments witness the black holes existence and not hide the asteroid impact incident.
We will take our leave, then. The person in charge bowed once more.
Goodbye.
After waiting for the researchers to pack up and leave, Chen Yu disconnected the spatial link and walked into the maintenance pod to remove the protective suit. He then returned to the study upstairs.
After tidying up his suit, he sat on the chair in his initial posture. He then faced the camera and crossed his fingers.
There is no doubt that a black hole exists in our Solar System. Next, we have to solve the actual problems. Just how are we supposed to prevent asteroid Bell, which has had its orbit changed by the black hole, from hitting Earth three months later?
Bell is a hazardous Almo-type asteroid. I believe the worlds governments will know more about it than me, so I wont go into details about Bells mass and orbit.
Taking care of this asteroid is currently beyond my capabilities. This is a matter for all of mankind. Those with money should contribute money, and those with ideas should contribute ideas. Two weeks
Stretching out a finger, Chen Yu calmly said, I will only give you two weeks to plan a practical solution and prepare the necessary supplies. After these two weeks, I will start another livestream and personally complete the plan.
I dont have anything more to say, so this is it for todays additional livestream.
Standing up, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, Everyone, there is no need to panic.
Hope is always with us
Chapter 210 - Access Level Promoted!
Chapter 210 C Access Level Promoted!
A week had already gone by since Chen Yus trip to verify the black holes existence.
A portion of the general populace had indeed learned that an asteroid would be hitting Earth three months later. However, due to the effective cooperation of the various governments and the media bans imposed, many of these people werent aware of the situations exact details. They simply took the governments words at face value and thought that the asteroid approaching Earth was just slightly bigger than the asteroid that struck Russia in 2013
As for the black hole, the government and media had kept an even tighter lid on any information relating to it. It was basically impossible for the general populace to find any relevant information on newspapers, media outlets, news websites, and internet forums. If one wished to find out about the black hole, they would have to depend on a friend following Transdimensional Reviews channel to drag them into the rabbit hole.
As a result, people still went about their daily lives as usual. The vast majority of ordinary people didnt even bother finding out more about the thing above their heads.
Even when some people got recommended to a video on gravitational waves and accidentally clicked on it, they would only leave comments like cool before ignoring the video altogether. As for those that accidentally came across photos of black holes, they, too, would only leave comments like beautiful before shifting their attention elsewhere.
These were the reactions of most ordinary people who are happy to enjoy the fruits of science and technology but lacked interest in scientific and technological development. After all, in their minds, these things were far from having any relations with their daily lives. There really was no need for them to care
Compared to black holes and asteroids, Chinas general populace was much more interested in the new subway that connected Beijing and Shanghai.
This was especially true for the people residing in these two cities. The maglev train had basically become the main conversation topic for them.
According to the governments explanation, this maglev train was only an ordinary superconducting train dedicated to transporting goods. It did not possess a vacuum pipeline.
However, obviously, this excuse didnt last very long.
As more people came to know of a matter, the quicker news of it would spread until it eventually became unstoppable
Take Transdimensional Reviews popularity, for example. After the sixth official livestream and last weeks additional livestream, the channel now had a total of 14 million subscribers!
The channels popularity was increasing faster and faster!
Suppose the worlds various governments hadnt imposed a ban on the media and the internet. In that case, with 14 million active subscribers, Transdimensional Review could become known throughout the world overnight.
In regards to this situation, the various governments could only express their helplessness. They were not gods. They had already tried their best.
Black holes, asteroids, maglev trains, and Transdimensional Reviews rapidly growing popularity While Chen Yu himself also emphasized these matters, he was currently more focused on another topic.
He had gotten promoted
His access level had gone from D to D+.
He could now host his videos and livestreams on 10 different platforms!
After careful consideration, Chen Yu decided to go with Americas Twitch and Periscope, Japans Niconico, Koreas Afreeca TV, and South Asias Yeye Live for his five new platforms.
Now, except for Africa, his videos and livestreams could basically reach every corner of the world.
Meanwhile, the most significant benefit of his increased access level would be the increase in his review products technological content.
In Chen Yus plan, if the various governments failed to solve asteroid Bells threat, he would continuously request the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff to get him powerful weapons to review in the following three months.
If even these weapons failed to stop the asteroid from crashing into Earth, then he would have no choice but to obediently type GG.
The majority of the viewers that watched his additional livestream werent too worried about the so-called Judgment Day this time. They all thought that with the Interstellar Portal and the various countries nuclear weapons, diverting the orbit of an asteroid would be a piece of cake.
However, if they were to see Bells detailed parameters, they definitely wouldnt have such thoughts.
With humanitys current technological standards, it would be challenging to deal with this asteroid. Its mass, orbit, and rotation speed were simplytragic.
Otherwise, Chen Yu wouldnt have grown so distressed after reading the journal.
It was also because of this reason that he didnt mention any of asteroid Bells parameters during his livestream, so as to avoid causing excessive panic among ordinary people.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of science fiction movies, but most people were under the misconception that humans held firm control over space. In reality, however, it was incredibly tricky for modern technology to deal with the countless near-Earth asteroids out in space.
Take the 2013 incident, for example. The Chelyabinsk meteor had struck Russia at a speed of Mach 112. Let alone stopping it, none of the many astronomical monitoring units around the world had even managed to detect this asteroid entering Earth.
Only after the asteroid had hit the ground did everyone realize, Huh? What fell down?!
After decades of observation, many organizations had proudly claimed that they had successfully monitored 1,000 or 2,000 Almo-type asteroids. However, most people didnt know that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
There was a set of data that could point out some problems. Including symbolic experiments, exactly how many asteroids have humans successfully intercepted so far?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A sudden knock came from the security door, dragging Chen Yu out of his thoughts.
Are Eldest and Second Eldest back?
Chen Yu pulled out his phone and took a look at the time. He then stood up from the sofa and went to open the security door.
Brother, were back, Chen Yike said as she shook the snow off her body and led Chen Erke into the house.
Big Brother, I missed you! Chen Erke declared as she hugged Chen Yus thigh and rubbed her face against it.
Why didnt you bring the keys? Chen Yu frowned.
Chen Yike: I forgot.
Chen Erke: I forgot.
Chen Yu:
Big Brother! Look! Releasing Chen Yus thigh, Chen Erke grabbed a white strap from her backpack and tied it around her waist. She then bounced excitedly while saying, Look! A white belt!
Oh, a taekwondo belt.
Mhm! Awesome, right?!
Yes, yes. Good job.
My teacher said that Im particularly talented and flexible, so I can reach this high! Chen Erke said as she exaggeratedly pointed at the ceiling.
Yes, yes.
I even had an actual fight today, and many of the kids there couldnt push me down.
Mhm, mhm.
Look! Seeing Chen Yus perfunctory attitude, Chen Erke quickly executed a whip kick. Ha!
Chen Yu:
How is it? Chen Erke stared at Chen Yu with widened eyes, hoping to receive praise and attention.
Your actions are decent, but it would be better if your body didnt shake so much.
Ill stop shaking very soon.
Doing her best to suppress her excitement, Chen Erke quizzically looked at her surroundings.
What are you looking for?
Wheres Third Eldest?
Chen Yu couldnt help but cover his forehead at his little sisters words.
Click.
Awakened by the noise coming from the living room, Chen Sanke opened the master bedroom door and wobbled her way out. While rubbing her eyes, she said, Big Sis, youre back?
Hmph!
With her arms akimbo, Chen Erke took a few steps forward and looked at Chen Sanke condescendingly.
Chen Sanke: ?
What are you looking at? Chen Erke demanded, puffing up her chest. You picking a fight?
Seeing this, Chen Yu silently sat on the living rooms sofa and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from a bag nearby. He then started crunching the seeds while watching the show.
II didnt look at you.
You clearly did. Not willing to submit?
In response, Chen Sanke blinked her eyes, turned around, and chose to ignore her second eldest sister.
Coward! Chen Erke shouted.
However, Chen Sanke remained indifferent as she approached Chen Yu and took a seat beside him.
Idiot!
Crunch Chen Sanke picked up a biscuit and took a bite.
Ill let you start with three moves.
Crunch, crunch Chen Sanke continued chewing on her biscuit as she blankly watched Chen Erke jumping about.
Coward!
Crunch
Dummy!
Crunch
I stole your snacks again!
Chen Sankes mouth suddenly stopped chewing

Chapter 211 C Challenging Asteroid
You stole my snacks again!
Chen Erkes declaration immediately stunned Chen Sanke.
I ate them all!
Seeing that her provocation was effective, Chen Erke immediately became more vigorous, I ate all your yogurt and biscuits! I didnt leave anything for you!
Tsk, tsk
Chen Yu smacked his lips at this sight, the sunflower seeds in his mouth suddenly becoming more fragrant.
Gulp. Chen Sanke swallowed the biscuit in her mouth and jumped off the sofa. She then glared at Chen Erke with a ferocious look. It really was you! You admitted it!
So what? Placing her hands on her hips, Chen Erke admitted, I stole them!
It was you! Chen Erke panted angrily.
It was me! It was me before, and it is me now, and it will still be me in the future! Chen Erke said, sticking her tongue out. I like eating your snacks! Theyre the best! Bleh, bleh, bleh!
Ill beat you! Chen Sankes face flushed with anger. Immediately, she swung her little palm at her elder sister.
Hah! You cant hit me! Chen Erke agilely dodged Chen Sankes attack. Afterward, she fastened her white belt, took two steps back, and bowed. The spirit of taekwondo is etiquette and patience. You should only act after resolving yourself! Since youve attacked me, I wontCah!
Before Chen Erke could finish her speech, Chen Sanke smacked her to the ground with another slap.
Stop! Why arent you following the rulah! Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! Uwahhh
Chen Yike: Stop fighting, you two!
Foul! Placing down his sunflower seeds, Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two. Third Eldest, you need to wait for her to bow before you start fighting
SheShe stole my food! Chen Sanke cried aggrievedly.
I stole them! Chen Erke declared in defiance as she wiped away her tears. She then got up and tightened her white belt once more before saying, Big Brother, dont block her! Let me hit her!
Okay. Chen Yu nodded and loosened his grip on Chen Sanke. He then loudly said, Second round! Start!
To think you would attack me when Im not paying attention, you really are a villain! You dont have any martial arts spirit Wait! Let me finish! Ah!
Chen Erke hurriedly escaped from her little sisters fierce assault once more. The two sisters then started a game of cat and mouse around the living rooms sofa and coffee table. Brother! Big Brother! H-Help me stop her! I havent finished speaking!
If youre going to fight, just fight. Whats with all the nonsense? Chen Yu said as he reached out and hugged Chen Sanke.
Let go of me! I want to hit her! Chen Sanke struggled like an enraged little tiger.
Hu
Chen Erke took a deep breath and retreated by several steps. She then bowed and assumed a classic taekwondo posture. Ha! Come on!
Chen Yu immediately released his hold of Chen Sanke and said, I choose you!
Eat this!
Accompanied by a shout, Chen Erke executed a whip kick at her front.
Boom!
Chen Erkes kick landed on her soft and squishy target. However, due to her excessive use of strength, she lost her balance and fell on the spot.
Thud.
Chen Erkes face was filled with question marks when she fell on the ground. However, before she could climb back up, Chen Sanke had already saddled herself on top of her body.
Ah! Ouch, ouch, ouch Brother! Save me! Ouch! Big Brother Ah, dont
Contrasting the cheerful atmosphere in the Chen familys abode, the International Astronomical Unions conference hall was enveloped in a dreary atmosphere.
Among those present in the hall, there were 27 government representatives and over 450 experts and researchers involved in astronomy, physics, aviation, aerospace, and other fields.
Currently, the large screen at the front of the hall was displaying the information copied from the International Asteroid Warning Network.
The groups of data and preliminary inferences placed a heavy pressure on everyones chests.
[Bell: Almo-type (threat) asteroid.]
[Diameter: 6 km]
[Mass: About 1.4 trillion tons]
[Velocity: 14 km/s]
[Orbital velocity: About 21 km/s]
[Orbit: Revolves around the sun once every 1.1 Earth years; [Approaches the Earth once every 12 years.]
[Discoverer: University of Hawaii.]
[Date of discovery: June 24, 1988.]
[Observation description, Since 1988, a total of 144 observations have been made. There is no threat warning.]
[Recent observation: It is determined that the asteroid has been dragged by an unknown source of gravity, and its orbit has shifted by 9. It is expected to reach Earths eastern hemisphere in February 2121. (Note: 114 other asteroids have also been observed to have been affected by an unknown source of gravity and carry a potential threat to Earth.)]
[Observation description 2: The asteroid is currently visible to the naked eye. It is nearing New York, and it will have an apparent magnitude exceeding 5.0 at 20:46 (GMT+8) on December 24, 2120.]
[Threat description 1: A collision with Earth will release approximately 12,000 trillion kilojoules of energy, causing destruction over an area the size of Japan. When the asteroid enters the atmosphere and burns, its surface temperature will reach 20,000C. Its impact will also cause a large amount of gas and dust to enter the atmosphere, forming clouds with temperatures of about 5,400C. After 6.5 hours from the impact, the hot clouds will cover the whole world, and it will be difficult for them to dissipate naturally.]
[Threat description 2: Asteroid Bell will also cause global earthquakes and tsunamis. Massive eruptions of volcanoes will also follow, further blocking the penetration of sunlight, which will cause the global temperature to drop sharply and the collapse of the existing ecosystem]
There was still plenty more frightening analysis and data recorded in the form of paper documents, and all this information was placed atop every attendees desk. However, nobody present wanted to read the information.
Everyone
After a long period of silence, a caucasian old man took off his glasses and whispered into the microphone before him, The crisis is imminent. The various teams in attendance, please present your plans.
The government representatives sitting at the circular table in the middle of the hall remained silent. As for the many experts and researchers sitting outside the circular table,
Ill go first, then. The old man wiped his glasses and put them on once more. He then picked up a set of documents and flipped to the third page. Firstly, I have a piece of news to announce. The UNs treaty that prohibits the launch of nuclear weapons into space was altered yesterday at 10 AM New York time. I wont repeat the details, since everyone should be aware of them.
Next, I will explain some planning difficulties for everyones reference.
After saying so, the old man picked up another set of documents while also projecting a digital copy onto the main screen.
One: The asteroid cannot be blown up. I wont explain why, and I dont think any team will come up with such a stupid plan.
Two: Bell is an asteroid with a 6-kilometer-diameter and a mass of 1.4 trillion tons. Even with the Interstellar Portals help, there is no object heavy enough that we can send to deviate Bells orbit. Even if there is such an object, the efficiency will be low. We do not have the time.
Three: We can consider pushing other asteroids to collide with Bell, but the resulting orbital changes are difficult to predict, so this method carries some risks. We will leave this as a backup option for the time being.
Four: Detonating nuclear weapons in a controlled manner near the asteroid and using the electromagnetic waves produced to propel the asteroid. The explosions will also blow up a part of the asteroids mass, causing the destroyed mass to eject gas and change the asteroids orbit. This should be the plan most teams thought of immediately. Unfortunately
The old man paused momentarily and pushed his glasses.
Its rotation speed is too fast! Its surface is also covered with a considerable amount of iron and nickel, and its internal composition and structure are not well understood. However, according to the mass calculation, the inside should be filled with loose silicon, water, oxide, and other rock structures. Its centrifugal force and gravitational balance are very delicate. Once the asteroid is subjected to an external force, it is likely to disintegrate instantly.
If a six-kilometer-diameter asteroid disintegrates and enters Earth
This is the reason why Bell is a difficult problem to solve.
Aside from the above four points, there is also the matter of Earths gravity to asteroids, which is also a tricky problem to resolve. That will be it from me. Please start presenting your plans.
The old man removed his glasses and gestured for his audience to speak up.
After the conference hall remained silent for a few more seconds, Chinas representative stood up and opened the document folder she held. She then quietly turned on the microphone before her.
Immediately, everyone in the hall focused their gaze on her.
Chapter 212 - Epic” Rescue! (1)
Chapter 212: Epic Rescue! (1)
Chapter 212 C Epic Rescue! (1)
Chinas representative opened the folder in her hands and pulled out a stack of documents and explanatory drafts. She then turned on the microphone before her, politely smiled at everyone present, and began her speech. She went straight into the topic without wasting time on polite remarks.
Asteroid Bell is a very tricky problem. Without Transdimensional Reviews warning, human civilization will definitely suffer a serious hit. However, even though we now have three months time to plan and have access to the Interstellar Portal, solving this problem still wont be easy.
Just now, the distinguished International Astronomical Unions president, Mr. Smith, has already explained the most challenging aspect in diverting Bells orbit. The asteroids rotation speed is simply too fast, and its centrifugal force has already reached the critical value of its current mass.
Another problem is that the asteroids internal structure is very loose. Once it is damaged by external forces, it is very likely to disintegrate. If that happens, we humans will lose complete control over the asteroid, which is unacceptable.
Hence, after conducting detailed analysis, multi-faceted consideration, and research by numerous experts, we have come up with the following plan.
After saying so, the female representative opened the first page of her documents and displayed a digital copy of it on the screen. Please look at the screen.
Immediately, everyone in the room shifted their attention to the main screen.
The name of this plan isReverse Yarkovsky.
At the mention of the plans name, many people started having hushed discussions among themselves.
Ignoring the private discussions everyone held, the female representative continued, The Yarkovsky effect, simply put, refers to the small but significant driving force that asteroids produce when they absorb sunlight and release heat. Everyone present is a professional, so I wont describe it in detail.
Fellow representative, I have a question, a blond researcher with blue eyes declared with her hand raised. Do you plan to set up solar reflectors on the asteroid, using them to convert the thermal photons of the suns ray into kinetic energy? But this method is too slow. We only have three months. We have insufficient time for this method to produce the necessary results.
Thats why the plan is called Reverse Yarkovsky, the Chinese representative said, smiling. The momentum generated from thermal photons is indeed too weak, so we wont be relying on the sunlights photons. Instead, well only rely on its heat.
The plan is as such: Well set up reflectors with a radius exceeding 50 meters and focus the sunlight on the asteroids axis of rotation. The sunlight will then heat up the rock mass, creating gas jets.
Everyone in the hall halted their respective conversations at this explanation, and many people picked up their computers and started making their own calculations.
The continuous ejection of gas will continuously accelerate the asteroid. After the analysis and calculation of three of our teams, if everything goes well, Asteroid Bell will brush past Earth three months later. The distance between the two is 190,000 kilometers.
Only 190,000 kilometers The conference chairman frowned and fell into thought. After a moment, he asked, Did you take into account Earths gravity? Are the reference parameters correct?
Weve already included it in our calculations, the Chinese representative nodded. My assistants will send the detailed data to everyones terminals.
The caucasian old mans frown deepened. Stretching out an index finger and tapping his forehead, he asked, What about enhancements? Do you have any enhancement plans?
Yes. Please look at the screen, the Chinese representative said as she flipped to the second page of her documents. The most adequate enhancement plan weve come up with is to pair the solar reflector with 130 laser transmitters. Under the assumption that Bells structure remains stable, well fire the lasers at a frequency of one-fifteenth of a second to enhance gas emissions.
There are several other conventional heating methods, but those arent easy to control and may cause the asteroids disintegration.
At the end of her speech, the female representative spread her hands and said, The only angle we can push the asteroid in is forward. This is the safest and most stable way. As for the problem of Bell being torn apart by gravity when passing by Earth, that cannot be avoided. We can only hope that the plan works well and pushes the asteroid far enough.
Its enough! the old man stood up, his eyes brimming with vigor. Bells rotation is a huge problem. Being able to deviate its orbit by 190,000 kilometers is already a difficult task. But
But what?
Simply relying on reflective heat energy isnt enough. Should we apply oil on the asteroid?
Yes. Applying oil is the most important step, the female representative nodded. Three days ago, weve already contacted Britains Nano Company to jointly develop a special paint with a light absorption rate of up to 99.965% to paint the asteroids surface.
So The old mans hands suddenly trembled. Were going to have Transdimensional Reviews hostdo painting?
At the chairmans words, the conference hall suddenly fell silent.
Looking down at the documents in her hands, the female representative corrected the chairman, We need to have him do lots and lots of painting
I offered you everything! The lightsaber! The protective suit! I even nearly tore down the island-building ships sand cannon! Yet, youre telling me you want me to paint the asteroid?!
A week later, on the Purple Mountain Observatorys plaza, under the gaze of nine million viewers, Chen Yu stared at the supervisor in charge of the asteroid-deviation project.
Im sorry, Mr. King. The middle-aged supervisor repeatedly bowed to Chen Yu. Due to Asteroid Bells special nature, it cannot be attacked with weapons. Only by pushing the asteroid using the Yarkovsky effect can we safely change its orbit.
But Stretching his hand, Chen Yu pointed at the innumerable oil drums decorating the plaza and roared, Isnt this a little too much?! How long do I need to keep painting for?!
Bells diameter is six kilometers, so the area near its axis is very small. Wiping away the sweat covering his forehead, the supervisor raised two fingers and said, You just need to paint two kilometers at most
Chen Yu:
O-Or maybe just a little bit more
Dont you have a plan thats awe-inspiring like the ones seen in hero movies? Chen Yu asked. Spreading out his hands, he started diligently describing the image in his mind, Dont you have a plan that involves danger, difficult situations, hard work, and wisdom? Something that ends with cheers, shouts, applause, and flowers rushing to my face once I save the world before everyones eyes. Are there none?
N-No Gulping, the supervisor braced himself and said, Youve already said it was a movie. I-In the real world, only efficiency and results matter.
[Hahaha, Im dying from laughter!c(R?Q)?]
[Im a painter? Im a good painter?]
[At least we get to see hundreds of drums of paint.]
[I pitied the UP for a moment there.]
[Hohoho Hihihi Hahahaha]
[I just found out the asteroids six kilometers in diameter! My god!]
[It seems the asteroids rotating too quickly, so it cannot be touched. Otherwise, itll disintegrate.]
[But isnt painting the asteroid a little too crazy? Is such a method really capable of intercepting an asteroid?]
[Never heard of it before.]
[This is a plan made by professionals. Its definitely much more useful than those fabricated by the media.]
Turning around and looking at the many drums of paint, Chen Yu still refused to give up as he asked, Are there really no other plans?
Mr. King, there are none.
Three minutes later
While carrying a large paintbrush on his left shoulder and a drum of paint in his right hand, Chen Yu lingered before the Interstellar Portal.
Mr. King, time is of the essence. Lets start now, the supervisor said as he led a large group of staff members, experts, and professors to bow and salute Chen Yu. We will help you transport the paint drums from here.
Dammit! This saving-the-world scene is not epic at all!
While muttering curses, Chen Yu stepped across the Interstellar Portal and arrived on the grayish-cyan asteroid named Bell
Chapter 213 - Epic” Rescue! (2)
Chapter 213 C Epic Rescue! (2)
Passing through the Interstellar Portals spatial film, Chen Yu stepped on the asteroids irregular surface. Simultaneously, Earths gravity that was acting on him disappeared.
This is the asteroid, Bell. It is elliptical in shape, and most of its surface is composed of a mixture of iron and nickel. It seems there is the presence of calcium oxides as well, so the asteroid looks a little whitish in color.
Im sure everyone shouldve heard about the asteroids diameter just now, but its six kilometers. Its not a small asteroid. As for its speed and mass, there is nothing much to say about them. Lets start working and try to finish it sooner.
Seeing as the success of the interception plan for Bell wasnt certain, Chen Yu chose not to reveal too many details for now.
Immediately, he activated the plasma engine to assist him in standing on the asteroid. He then lifted the paint drum and inserted it into the pipe at the giant paintbrushs end. Afterward, he pressed the activation button on the paintbrush.
Buzz
Several motors started vibrating simultaneously, and the big brush began spraying pure black paint! Drops of paint flew out of the brush tip one after another. And without the restraint of gravity, they condensed into round spheres that floated about.
Yes. The so-called brush was actually a combination of thousands of densely packed flexible pipes. So long as there was a sufficient paint supply, a special oil pump would continuously pressurize and spray the paint out of the brush, significantly improving the painting efficiency.
A great device, isnt it? Chen Yu shrugged while looking at the camera. Propelled by the plasma engine, he began his great undertaking of saving the world. The gravitational force provided by the asteroid is negligible. If you want to smear a thick coat of paint on the asteroid, youll have to move the brush slowly against the asteroids surface.
While Chen Yu gave his explanation, the Purple Mountain Observatorys staff members started tossing paint drums through the Interstellar Portal one after another.
The big brush had many horsepowers, and it had emptied a 20-liter paint drum in less than half a minute.
After removing the empty drum, Chen Yu flattened it against the asteroid. He then grabbed a new drum floating in the air and neatly inserted it into the tailpipe.
It wont take long before paint drums fill the sky. At that time, Ill have a difficult time differentiating the full ones from the empty ones. So, destroying the empty drums will help speed up the work.
[How professional!]
[Maybe UPs main job is a painter, lolol.]
[Shocking news! A certain livestreamer earns millions a day by painting!]
[Wont littering so recklessly create space junk?]
[Youre still caring about garbage? Do you know what kind of situation were in right now?]
[You guys dont understand. The host is adding some flair to himself. This is a rare opportunity for him to save the world. Even if all hes doing is painting, he has to do it in a domineering manner!]
[Lololol.]
[Im more interested in UPs next official livestream. It seems his access level has been elevated already? I look forward to it]
[Hopefully, its a colony spaceship]
As Chen Yu stood on the lonely asteroid, he could feel the universes emptiness and depth much more clearly.
Meanwhile, the six-kilometer-diameter asteroid was like a boat sailing across the vast ocean with no end in sight. At his current location, the Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter They were all as small as mosquitoes and flies. They were practically invisible to his eyes.
Aside from the blazing fireball in the distance, the only other things he could see were the stars of the Milky Way.
Studying could improve ones grades, while working could improve ones technical skills.
As Chen Yu continued painting the asteroid, his proficiency at the task also continuously improved. He had even discovered a trick to the job. If he clamped the brush between his legs, he could ride it like a magic broom, as seen in movies like Harry Potter.
Now, he held a paint drum in each hand, manipulated the paint brushs direction with his leg muscles, and propelled himself forward with the plasma engine
Ahahaha! ???!
Chen Yu waved the paint drums in his hands while bouncing and flying around on the paintbrush, making it seem as if he was Li Yuanba fighting on the battlefield with his dual hammers.[1]
[Hahaha]
[Host, you really are a genius.]
[I really look forward to how future historians will describe this magnificent feat of saving the world.]
[If aliens see this, they might lament how vast the universe is]
[I label this a unique skill!]
[I want to play as well.]
[Kid, this is called saving the world. Its not a game.]
[The sense of disharmony of this scene is so great that I dont know where to start commenting]
[Im dying from laughter]
Forty-seven minutes later.
Chen Yu finally finished painting the last crack on the designated area. Shaking the brush and paint drum vigorously, he shouted, Dammit! Im finally done!
After giving his waist a stretch, Chen Yu flew back to the Interstellar Portal and returned to the Purple Mountain Observatorys plaza. He then removed the protective suits glove and looked at the time and bullet comments. What should I do next?
Set up this solar reflector on the asteroids rotation axis, the site supervisor said. He then hailed the staff members to carry a nearly 30-meter-long device to Chen Yu. Its a little heavy. Do you need help from a few astronauts?
No need. Just find a few people to help me lift the other end, Chen Yu said before raising the lighter end of the device. While backing up to the portal, he asked, How should I install this thing?
Welding is required. The space welding tools are in the device. When you arrive on the asteroid with the solar panel, the observatory headquarters will send unfolding instructions to the device. All you need to do is weld the reflectors supports together with the asteroids surface.
Im not proficient at welding. Chen Yu frowned.
Its very simple. Just find a sufficiently tough iron surface on the asteroid and tightly weld the supports to it. The bottom of the solar reflector has a high-power suction cup. It will play the main role in holding the reflector in place.
Oh, I understand.
In other words, all he needed to do was to randomly weld the thing together
Chen Yu nodded and retreated into the portal with the device.
After entering space, the weight of the solar reflector suddenly disappeared. After waving at the staff members beyond the portal and signaling for them to leave, Chen Yu pulled hard on the solar reflector, dragging the whole thing into space!
While hugging onto the 30-meter-long device, he flew to the asteroids axis, landed, erected the device, and inserted it into the ground.
You can expand it now.
A minute after Chen Yu said so, the solar reflector slowly unfolded like an umbrella.
This was just how vast the universe was.
Even sending a simple command across such a close distance required dozens of seconds.
Unless humanitys quantum communication technology had reached a mature state, any attempts at a cosmic voyage would simply end in disaster.
Buzz
The vibrations generated by the solar reflectors drive shaft were transmitted to Chen Yus feet through the asteroids surface.
As the solar reflector continuously unfolded, its height continuously increased as well. Not long after, a huge solar reflector with a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 200 meters was erected on the asteroid.
Reaching out, Chen Yu shook the reflectors support pillar. To his surprise, the reflectors suction cup had firmly adhered the reflector to the asteroid. Seeing this, he stopped wasting time and opened the big toolbox clipped to the support rod. After taking out the welding equipment inside, he started welding the thick steel bars dangling off the reflector.
[Of all the heroes in the world, youre the most heroic.]
[Im in tears.]
[Stop talking.]
[Huh? Whats the host doing? Shooting a film? Isnt the production quality a little too amazing?]
[Crap! Theres a newbie here! Quick, bully him!]
[I prepared the pot.]
[Im cooking the water.]
[I prepared the seasonings]
Pzz! Pzz!
Pzz, pzz, pzz
After welding the first steel bar, Chen Yu tentatively pulled on it. Seeing that it wasnt breaking off from the asteroids surface, he said, It looks relatively tough. It seems some people just have a knack for everything
Chapter 214 - I Will Protect Earth!
Chapter 214 C I Will Protect Earth!
After welding all the steel bars in place, Chen Yu grabbed the laser transmitters the staff members tossed through the portal. He then installed them one after another on the grooves inside the umbrella.
Afterward, he inserted dozens of sensors and monitoring equipment all over the asteroids surface. He then flew a hundred meters into the air and quietly waited for more instructions from the government officials.
Everything is ready. Facing the camera, Chen Yu gestured to the government officials watching the livestream. Please start your performance.
Several dozen seconds later, the solar reflector started expanding even further. The numerous mirrors on the reflector then reflected the rays of the distant sun onto the black paint.
If one looked down at the asteroid from above, they would see sunlight being reflected evenly across the asteroids surface. The mirrors angle was also adjusted continuously so that the mirrors reflected sunlight to every painted location.
Simultaneously, the 130 laser transmitters also operated at full power to heat up the asteroids surface.
Very quickly, under the scorching rays of the sun and lasers, the temperature of the special paint promptly rose. The paints heat then caused the ice crystal structures on the asteroids surface to melt and evaporate into a gas.
Will this really work?
Chen Yu wondered as he folded his arms around his chest.
In his opinion, such a minor thrust would be akin to an elephant letting out a fart on the moon. Trying to move the moon with such a weak thrust was simply laughable.
However, as the painted areas temperature continued heating up, more and more gas got ejected from the asteroids surface.
The gas rose into the air in streams of varying lengths and sizes, and they eventually fused together to form an infinitely extending white tail behind the asteroid.
From a birds eye view, the sight surprisingly turned out to be quite spectacular!
[Why do I suddenly feel shocked?]
[Crap! It actually looks cool!]
[How beautiful]
[As the paints temperature continues increasing, even the metals on the asteroids surface will start to melt. At that time, even more gas will be released.]
[I still think its easier to just blow the asteroid up with a few thousand nuclear bombs]
[Agreed. Just blow it up and dump the fragments into the black hole via the Interstellar Portal, lololol.]
[The meteorite that hit Russia didnt even reach 15 meters in diameter, and it even exploded in the air, yet it ended up causing 1,200 deaths. Do you know how many of such meteorites will be created if you blow up an asteroid with a six-kilometer diameter? Do you want the host to transport every single piece?]
[Although the explosion would deviate the orbit of some of the debris, a considerable number of meteorites will still end up hitting Earth. And while such an outcome would always be better than having the asteroid hitting Earth with its full mass, the resulting damages will still be catastrophic.]
[Without UPs warning, by the time the various countries discover the asteroid on their own, it wouldve already been too late to apply this method. At that time, we really would have no choice but to launch nuclear weapons at the asteroid to try and mitigate the damage as much as possible.]
[Being able to resolve the asteroid problem without any casualties would be the best outcome.]
[The host has indeed saved humanity]
[This really was a close call! If the UP was one or two months late in discovering the black hole, even UP himself would be a goner.]
[Anyway, from now on, Ill be calling the host my daddy! ( ????)]
[Daddy +1 ( ????)]
Pressurizing the engine, Chen Yu flew higher and higher until he got a full view of the asteroid.
Asteroid Bell was oval in shape, and it appeared to be slowly rotating. The asteroids surface was densely covered in grooves, making it look hideous from a humans perspective.
However, when combined with the spiraling white tail trailing behind it, the asteroids appearance aesthetics instantly made a reversal. Currently, the asteroid looked very much like a cosmic battleship sailing through space.
Hmm Interesting. Chen Yu couldnt help but give a thumbs up to the asteroid. From what I can see, this crisis should be solved. I never thought that the combination of paint and sunlight could generate such a strong effect. However, trying to deviate the asteroids orbit in just a few minutes or hours is still impossible.
This is going to be a long and continuous process. Lets hope everything proceeds smoothly.
After circling around the asteroid once and finding nothing noteworthy, Chen Yu flew through the Interstellar Portal and returned to the Purple Mountain Observatory on Earth.
Whoosh
Chen Yu landed on the observatorys plaza and turned off his protective suits engine. The nearby staff members wearing disinfection suits immediately stepped forward with towels and water guns in hand. They then proceeded with cleaning and disinfecting Chen Yus protective suit.
After waiting for the cleaning process to end, Chen Yu approached the site supervisor and asked, When will I get news of Bells orbital deviation? Give me an estimate. Ill head over to check on the asteroid at that time.
We already have the calculated results. The supervisor took out a tablet and showed a list of data to Chen Yu. There are many monitoring devices on the asteroid. After observing the asteroids flight angle for a dozen minutes, the results we can obtain are already highly accurate. Look
The asteroids speed is increasing by 0.0035% every second. After importing this value into our model calculation, we estimate that the asteroid will pass by Earth with a distance of over 30,000 kilometers three months later.
Only 30,000 kilometers? Che Yu couldnt help but be stunned. Whats the point of installing the device, then? How many kilometers does the exosphere take up already?
Thats not the case. The supervisor hurriedly explained, The reflection of sunlight will still continue. And as more gas is released, the asteroids speed will also continue increasing. By the time the asteroid passes by Earth, the gap between the two will increase to at least 90,000 kilometers.
Ninety thousand kilometers Will it get torn apart by Earths gravity? What if some fragments fall down to Earth?
This is unavoidable. We still have a series of follow-up plans. All I can say is that well try to minimize the losses.
What if Chen Yu thoughtfully said, What if we further heat up the asteroid? On a large scale, I mean.
Do you mean to use incendiary bombs? The temperature will be too high.
The temperature of ordinary flames
The supervisor: ???
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Yu re-entered space and stood on Asteroid Bells surface.
Meanwhile, held in his arms were several hundred candles.
Dammit, it actually took three refreshes to get this thing again What a loss
After mumbling a few complaints, Chen Yu faced the camera and loudly said, Speaking of which, after the sixth official livestream, we havent reviewed any additional products. Ill make up for it now. Everyone, do you see the candles in my arms?
Its name is called the Inextinguishable Birthday Candles, and it is a product made by a whackjob company.
Holding up a candle in front of the camera, Chen Yu quickly recited, The candles are made out of a mixture of PP2 combustible powder, thermal insulation fiber, and mixed bio-oil. Enhanced oxidants, thickeners, phospholipids, and glycerin are also added to prevent the candles from being extinguished by means such as wind, water, dry powder, dry ice, carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, etc.
Even in a vacuum environment, the candles can continue burning for at least 26 days. In addition, the high-temperature sparks created during the combustion process will effectively ignite all combustible materials within a 12-meter radius. It is a must-have item when celebrating a friends, classmates, colleagues, dormmates, or teachers birthday!
[Becoming your friend is a true blessing. :)]
[Crap! Its even better than the Golden Finger!]
[Birthday celebration (); Death celebration ()!]
[Thats one way to liven up a birthday.]
[The fire brigade just sent you a red envelope.]
[Sure enough, the UP wont be satisfied if he doesnt add some drama to his livestreams.]
Thats it for the introduction. Next For the sake of civilization, mankind, and the trillions of living beings on Earth, I! Will stand fearless!
After speaking the lines he prepared ahead of time, Chen Yu directed the camera down at the asteroid. He then pressurized the plasma engine and flew straight down toward the steaming asteroid!
I will protect Earth!
Ahahaha
Shortly afterward, roaring flames started rising all over the asteroids surface
Chapter 215 - I Only Did What a Hero Should Do
Its finally over
Chen Yu threw himself onto his bed and rested his head on his hands. As he aimlessly stared at the ceiling, he immersed himself in the feeling of being a hero.
I actually saved all of mankind. Im too awesome
Mr. Chen, it seems everything is progressing smoothly, Little Peach said as she leaned over and gently pinched Chen Yus shoulders.
Ah, that feels good A little stronger Stronger
Like this?
Thats right Keep on doing it
Mhm~?
Ah, that feels nice. Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of pleasure. Shutting his eyes, he asked, Where did you learn this?
On the internet. I remember all the acupuncture points now!
Nice, nice. A little to the left and stronger.
Okay!
As expected of a professional. The corners of Chen Yus lips curled up in pleasure. Compared to you, my little sisters are useless.
Its good that you like it. Little Peach smiled so widely that she nearly exposed the springs in her throat. Ill give you a massage every day from now on.
Yes, yes. I never thought a massage could feel so comfortable.
On the internet, it is mentioned that men would inadvertently discover the beauty of massages and then start visiting various massage parlors[1].
That makes sense.
Its also mentioned that when a person is in a good mood while receiving a massage, they would feel much more comfortable during the massage.
Chen Yu nodded again and again. That makes sense as well. Im in an excellent mood today.
Has the asteroid problem been resolved?
Thanks to my own efforts, the asteroid shouldnt pose a problem anymore. Switching to a more comfortable position, Chen Yu said, Massage this side. Yes, there. I can finally relax my nerves. Ive been so stressed out over the survival of over seven billion humans during this time.
Youre so amazing! Little Peach said as she exaggeratedly raised both of her thumbs.
So-so. Im just generally amazing, Chen Yu humbly said. I simply saved the word. Its something a hero should do. Now, continue
Okay! Little Peach hurriedly resumed her massage.
I mean to continue with the praises.
Oh! Great Hero! Your existence is the fortune of human civilization!
History chose me, so its my duty to serve. After personally resolving the crisis that would come three months later, Chen Yu could not help but feel excited and proud of himself. As a result, his ego had been boosted to its maximum.
A soldier that saved a village could boast his achievement for a decade.
He felt that he could boast about his achievement for a lifetime
I heard that people will erect monuments of great men. Will someone erect a monument of you as well?
Thats for sure. Not just a monument, but Ill even have movies, music, novels, and games made after me. The scale definitely wont be any worse than Russias Vasili Arkhipov.
Whos Vasili? Little Peach tilted her head.
A Russian officer credited with preventing a nuclear war twice. He was labeled the greatest human to ever live, Chen Yu said as he recited the knowledge he learned from some independent media on Bilibili. Many cities around the world have a monument of him to commemorate him for saving human civilization. I should be considered as great as him.
You really are amazing
While enjoying the massage to both his body and mind, Chen Yu peered open his eyes slightly and swiped his finger across his watch. He then inspected the income he generated from todays livestream.
He had gained a total of 9.35 million viewers from all livestream rooms, which netted him 311 points. After factoring in the points he spent to refresh the Transdimensional Store and the 45 points he paid to purchase the Inextinguishable Birthday Candles, he now had a total of 356 points.
It should be fine for him to go on another shopping spree.
However, seeing as there was only another week before he would hold his next official livestream, Chen Yu ended up deciding to save his points. Hopefully, after the seventh official livestream, the points he accumulated would reach four figures. At that time, he would genuinely be able to splurge.
After turning his watch invisible again, he shut his eyes and enjoyed his shoulder massage.
Wahhh!
However, just as he was about to fall asleep, a hoarse crying sound suddenly came outside his bedroom.
Second Eldest?!
Chen Yu promptly sat up from his bed. Thinking that Chen Erke had fallen and hurt herself, he hurriedly ran out of the room and looked toward the source of the cry, only to be taken aback immediately. Afterward, though, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Currently, Chen Erke was obediently standing in the corner of the living room, her left hand holding a broken plastic basin, and her right hand wiping the tears in her eyes. She was also crying loudly while being reprimanded by Mother Chen.
Meanwhile, Chen Yike was earnestly studying a music sheet on the sofa, utterly unfazed by the commotion happening nearby.
As for Chen Sanke, she was happily clapping her hands.
Um Whats the matter? Stretching his waist, Chen Yu frowned as he stepped forward. After visually inspecting Chen Erke, he asked, Did you cause trouble?
II brokethe footbath Chen Erke choked aggrievedly.
I told her the plastic footbath wasnt sturdy, yet she insisted on using it as a kick board! Glaring at Chen Yu angrily, Mother Chen stood with her arms akimbo and said, That footbath is so flimsy. Even if it doesnt break, itll still leak after a few kicks! Dont you think she deserves a beating?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded in agreement. This is already on the level of destroying furniture. Even the husky knows that if you break something, youll receive a beating.
I I Pouting, Chen Erke said, I was only trying to practice my taekwondo.
So, practicing taekwondo puts you in the right? Threateningly raising the discipline rod in her hand, Mother Chen said, Practicing taekwondo means you can
I wanted to kick Third Eldest, but Third Eldestwont let me!
Mother Chen: ??
She wanted to kick me, yet she wont let me fight back. Mimicking Mother Chens posture, Chen Sanke rested her hands on her waist and said, How does that make sense?
Enough, enough. Stepping in front of Chen Erke, Chen Yu said, Isnt it just a footbath? Ill buy a new one.
This isnt just about the footbath, understand? Right, Ive meant to talk to you about this since last week. Turning the spearhead to Chen Yu, Mother Chen asked, Why did you let your little sister learn taekwondo? How will she get married in the future?
Married? Sneering, Chen Yu said, How can my little sister get married? What nonsense are you spouting?
??? x3
No, what I meant to say was, how can my little sister not get married?
Silence momentarily enveloped the living room.
A-Actually Carefully raising the plastic basin in her hand, Chen Erke said, A footbath is only three yuan, while the wooden planks sold in the gym cost 19 yuan a set. Mom, Im saving you money
Hearing this, Mother Chens face flushed red. Glaring at Chen Yu, she said, Is this how you normally educate your little sister?
Crap, what does this have to do with me?
Dont you know an elder brother is like a father? If your little sister isnt properly educated, you are responsible for it!
Chen Yu opened and closed his mouth speechlessly a few times. He then turned toward Chen Yike, walked up to her, and smacked her head, Hey! Dont you know an elder sister is like a mother? If your little sister isnt properly educated, youre responsible for it!
Chen Yike:
How can you pass your own responsibility onto others? Placing the discipline rod in Chen Yus hand, Mother Chen said, Take it. Since youre her elder brother, you beat her.
However, Chen Yu did not wish to have his little sister hate him. Without hesitation, he handed the rod to Chen Yike and said, Eldest, youre her elder sister. You beat her.
Chen Yike handed the rod to Mother Chen and said, Mom, you beat her.
Ill beat her! Chen Sanke eagerly raised her hand. L-Let me beat her!
You cant beat me! Chen Erke started crying once more when she saw the discipline rod. Youve beaten me so many times already! I Have I become obedient? Doesnt that prove that beatings are useless? You should try preaching instead.
Mother Chen:
Chen Yu: If a beating is useless, its because you didnt put in enough strength.
Chen Yike: Beating is useless, but its good for relieving stress.
Chen Sanke: Ive never been beaten by mommy and daddy before. How envious
Chapter 216 - My Mom Might Be A Financial Genius
Chapter 216 C My Mom Might Be A Financial Genius
Little Yu, I have something to talk to you about.
After educating her daughter, Mother Chen dragged Chen Yu to the sofa and started a new conversation.
What happened?
Its nothing big. Awkwardly, Mother Chen said, Its just
You didnt lose your investment, right? Chen Yu asked skeptically.
How did you know? My son is amazing! You actually managed to guess it! Mother Chen clapped her hands exaggeratedly.
Do you think I even need to guess this? You dont even understand how the heating bill discounts work, yet you want to invest in stocks?
I-Isnt there the professor still? Hes a professional.
What about the professor, then?
He lost as well
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu asked, Thats a scammer, right?
No, no! Mother Chen hurriedly waved her hands. He really lost money as well. I heard he even sold his car. Im acquainted with several of his other students as well, and they say theyve never seen their teacher lose so much money before.
How much did you lose, then?
J-Just half
I recall you bought quite a few stocks for different industries. You cant have lost on all of them, right?
Fourteen stocks. Lowering her head in shame, Mother Chen said, All of them ended in losses.
All of them?! Chen Yu was shocked. How did you do it?
I-I dont know. That professor said that this kind of thing has never happened before. Every stock he targeted for short-term profit ended in a loss.
Does that mean you were trying to vent your frustration on Second Eldest today? Chen Yu said, his complexion darkening.
How can that be?! Mother Chen firmly denied the allegation. No matter what, I wont vent my problems on my children. This and that are two different things. I only reprimanded Second Eldest today because she made a mistake. Im a professional mother.
Fine, I believe you. So, youre trying to recoup your losses?
Im not trying! I know I can recoup my losses! Mother Chen said with a severe expression. The old professor said that the last time was a mistake. This time, he secured plenty of insider information, and hes definitely going to lead us to profit.
Isnt he just a scammer?!
Even scammers wouldnt send money to other peoples companies.
Hes a dumb scammer, then! Chen Yu was flabbergasted.
Little Yu, just borrow Mom another 10,000. Watch me buy you a big house!
Seeing the skeptical look on Chen Yus face, Mother Chen grew angry and said, Chen Yu! You dont even believe your mother? Since when have I tricked you before?
Youve been tricking me since I can remember.
Youll make me angry if you say something like that. Stretching out her hand, Mother Chen said, Give Mom another 10,000. If I lose again this time, I wont invest ever again! I promise!
Hearing this, Chen Yu fell silent for a moment before pulling out his phone. How about this, Mom? Ill give you 20,000, so tell me which stocks you plan to buy.
Really! OK!
Mother Chen was pleasantly surprised by Chen Yus answer. Hurriedly, she ran to her bedroom and returned with a small notebook in hand. She then happily said, Im looking at a total of 12 stocks, and Ive personally studied them. Theyre all reliable and profitable.
Ill copy it down first. Chen Yu took a photo of Mother Chens notes and transferred 20,000 yuan to her. He then patted his mothers shoulder and said, Mom, good luck.
Mhm! Wait for me! Ill definitely buy you a big house!
Ill be waiting.
After saying so, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom with his phone in hand. After locking the door, he strode to the study table and tapped Little Peach on her head.
Huh? Little Peach, who was typing on the keyboard, turned around in confusion. Mr. Chen? Whats the matter?
Look at this. Chen Yu handed his phone to Little Peach and pointed at the list of stock names on the screen. There are 12 stocks here. Short sell all of them.
Short sell?
Yes! Short as much as you can! Chen Yu nodded. Invest a million first to test the waters.
Okay!
Little Peach did not question Chen Yus command at all. With nimble fingers, she quickly flipped through multiple web pages and completed the transaction of the twelve stocks. Her speed was not at all inferior to any professional traders.
Have you finished investing the whole million?
I did.
Nicely done! Chen Yu exclaimed. He then asked, How much money do we have now?
Let me check, Little Peach said before tapped on the keyboard a dozen times or so. She then pointed at a number displayed on the screen and said, Over 32 million.
What? How is there so much already?
I earned it!
Is making software for others so profitable?
If your skills are good, you can take on higher-valued commissions. Puffing up her chest, Little Peach proclaimed, My programming skills are among the top of the world now. Many big companies have even tried to poach me.
Amazing. As if he were the president of a company praising his employee, Chen Yu patted Little Peach on the shoulder and said, Our Transdimensional Review Agency needs talents like you. In the future, you shouldnt work for such long hours. Rest for an extra 100 seconds. Whats the point of earning so much money if you harm yourself in the process?
Mr. Chen, youre really kind!
This is what an employer should do. Chen Yu waved his hand. Invest another two million! Short those twelve stocks!
Okay!
After swiftly completing the transactions, Little Peach curiously asked, Mr. Chen, why did you suddenly think of investing in stocks? Ive never seen you having an interest in this field before.
Because Turning around to look at the door, Chen Yu quietly said, I think my mother may be a financial genius
As it turned out, Mother Chen really was a financial genius.
In just two days, all 12 stocks she invested were suddenly met with tragedies such as disruption of capital chain, project terminations, and reorganization failures. The market value of all 12 companies plummeted simultaneously.
Naturally, Mother Chen lost money again. She was so frustrated and confused by her loss that she even mistook sugar for salt when cooking.
In contrast, Chen Yu had made a fortune, and even Little Peach couldnt help but ask in surprise, Is it really so easy to make money?
Mom.
The next night, Chen Yu initiated a conversation with Mother Chen, Dont get angry. Investment is something that should be enjoyed. You shouldnt make yourself feel uncomfortable. Wouldnt that defeat the original purpose?
M-Mom has lost the money you earned. Mother Chen couldnt help but tear up. I feel so bad.
This isnt your fault. Its that professor whos incompetent. Youre innocent, Chen Yu consoled while holding back his excitement. By the way, how did that professor do?
I heard he even sold his house.
Hes still not giving up?! Mom, we cant shrink back either! Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu waved it before Mother Chen and said, Ill transfer 50,000 to you! Lets give it another go!
Little Yu Mother Chen fell into a stupor for quite some time. Afterward, she suddenly hugged Chen Yu and said, You really are a good son.
Youre a good mother as well!
After receiving the names of the 15 stocks Mother Chen planned to invest in, Chen Yu promptly returned to his room and vigorously said, Little Peach! Short sell all 15 of these stocks! Invest 10 million into them!
Okay! Little Peach was also brimming with fighting spirit.
After three more days passed by
Little Yu! Mom is going to stop investing! Mom is never going to invest again! Mother Chen said as she shed tears of sorrow and regret. Theyre all scammers! Even the government is a scammer! I wont ever invest again!
Mom!
Chen Yu decisively transferred 50,000 yuan to Mother Chens WeChat. Would a soldier retreat on the battlefield once he suffers failure? Hell keep on persisting until he achieves a big victory! No! Your son supports you! Keep buying!
Little Yu
By the way, how is that professor doing?
I heard he even sold his daughter-in-law
Chapter 217 - Seventh Official Livestream! (1)
Chapter 217 C Seventh Official Livestream! (1)
Sunday, 8:40 AM:
In the prosperous metropolis of New York, United Nations Headquarters, inside Building Bs 15th-floor Observer Conference Hall
Boom!
The conference halls thick wooden doors opened, and everyone inside the room promptly turned to look at the door.
The next moment, the middle-aged team leader from Chinas special situation team walked into the hall with a group of people. The group had their chests held high as they made their way across the red carpet. After arriving at the east side of the round table, the middle-aged team leader took his seat.
Youre late, the representative of Americas special situation team solemnly said. The pre-meeting has already ended.
My team and I had some impromptu matters we needed to deal with personally, so we came late by an hour and a half. I apologize for that, the middle-aged team leader said as he stood up and nodded to everyone in the conference hall. According to the rules, this is allowed. If its convenient, can you tell us the pre-meetings content?
We discussed the specific parameters of the black hole, another governments representative calmly answered. We cant get any results without your sides participation.
Im really sorry, but this isnt within the scope of my responsibilities and authority. Sitting down again, the middle-aged team leader turned on the microphone before him and said, The Observer Foundations goal is to observe Transdimensional Reviews and its UPs situation. All other irrelevant matters are beyond the scope of our discussion and research. If you really wish to discuss this topic, Building A is hosting a conference on humanitys unity. Those who are interested can participate in it.
In that case, lets discuss a relevant topic. Americas representative also picked up his microphone and spoke in fluent Chinese, According to the Observer Foundations member guidelines, all members have an obligation and responsibility to share information relating to Transdimensional Review. Your side did not comply with these rules.
About half a month ago, our side has already shared all the information we know, including our analysis data, team member information, and organizational structure to the Foundation for review. We have also smoothly passed the preliminary review. How can you accuse us of not complying with the rules?
But What about Transdimensionals UPs information? a representative asked, going straight to the point.
At this question, the conference hall instantly became deathly silent as everyone turned to stare at the middle-aged team leader.
Placing both hands on the wooden table, the middle-aged team leader spoke in a calm and steady tone, We have also spent a lot of effort into trying to identify Transdimensionals UP. However, currently, aside from knowing that he might be from Chinas Liao Province and Shan Province, we havent uncovered any further information.
Dont you find your words to be laughable? Another countrys representative squinted his eyes and interjected, Transdimensional Reviews host is a Chinese citizen. Based on his accent, behavior, and lighting in his first few review videos, you can easily identify him. After several months, even we know he is living in Jinzhou City. Yet, youve extended your search radius to two provinces. Isnt that laughable?
Over 20 government teams were present in the hall, yet three teams had targeted their team as soon as they entered. The middle-aged team leader knew that these people were targeting them, and this outcome was also within his expectations. After all, no matter how one looked at the situation, China definitely held an overwhelming advantage in the Observer Foundation.
However, he was a leader in Chinas secret service system. He also received the support of many professionals before attending todays meeting.
If even you managed to analyze that Transdimensionals UP is residing in Jinzhou, how could we not figure it out as well? However, dont forget that we are observing a surreal individual who wields future technology that is decades, centuries, or even millenniums ahead of us. Do you really think that such an individual will make it so easy for us to discover his true identity? No matter how you look at it, be it logically or emotionally, this isnt possible.
Pausing momentarily, the middle-aged team leaders gaze sharpened as he continued, Based on the confrontations we have with each other thus far, we can tell that Transdimensionals UP is a meticulous, knowledgeable, and intelligent person. Also, based on how he manipulated the research teams in Japan after the fifth official livestream, we can determine that he is an extreme egoist capable of portraying different emotions and personalities, open-minded, confident, calm, and cautious. However, he doesnt lack righteousness, and he has a concise view of the universe, science, human nature, and society. No matter how you look at it, he is outstanding both inside and outside
Are you sure that such an individual would leave such obvious clues for us to discover?
The middle-aged team leaders speech immediately silenced everyone in the conference hall. Particularly, the many scholars and assistants standing outside the conference table nodded their heads in agreement.
In reality, everyone present was aware that Transdimensional Reviews UP couldnt be a simple existence, much less a dimwit that left a trail of clues leading to his identity. After all, there was no way an organization that wielded so many advanced technologies would choose a fool to serve as its representative.
From ancient times until now, this had remained an unchanging truth.
Cough.
After waiting for the discussions in the hall to fade away, the middle-aged team leader lightly coughed and revealed a smile. If we really did identify Transdimensionals UP, we wouldnt have bothered joining the Observer Foundation. Our side also wishes to lend everyones strength to monitor his every action, ensuring that he doesnt have a negative impact on mankind. As for his identity
Honestly, unless the UP takes the initiative to expose himself, with our current abilities, exposing him will be nigh impossible.
Americas representative couldnt help but feel complex emotions about this situation, and he subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.
Now that Chinas representative had already spoken to such an extent, it was no longer suitable for him to continue his persecution.
Not to mention, Chinas team had cleverly chosen a delicate time to arrive. After all, Transdimensional Reviews livestream was starting soon, and they still needed to spare 10 minutes for preparations
Hah
After secretly sighing, Americas representative took a deep look at the middle-aged team leader. He pressed the button next to his hand, turning on the hanging screen in the conference hall. We will further discuss the issue of information sharing. It will be nine oclock soon, so everyone should start making your respective preparations. Coordinate your teams, technical departments, and subordinate organizations while we wait for the livestream to start
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, Chen Yus bedroom:
Chen Yu currently wore a red robe, and he sat cross-legged on his bed with his eyes shut.
He had been sitting in this position for more than two hours now.
Both his mind and spirit were stable.
This would be his first official livestream since he had his access level upgraded to D+. According to experience, todays product would definitely be a cut above all the products he had reviewed in the past.
If he didnt find a way to calm himself before the livestream, the wait for the products arrival would definitely torture him to death.
Little Peach, what time is it now?
Mr. Chen, its 8:57 already. Only three minutes to go, Little Peach, who was standing by the bed, said. At this time, she had changed back into her cheongsam. Impatiently, she repeated, We just need to wait three more minutes!
Three more minutes Chen Yu muttered before shutting his eyes again. He then silently counted in his mind, One, two, four, five, six, twenty
What time is it now?
Its 8:57.
Huh? I counted to 1,300 already, so why is it still 57?
Little Peach:
What time is it now?
Its 8:58. Just two more minutes!
Two more minutes
Like a master taoist, Chen Yu sank his mind into his dantian as he slowly opened his eyes and raised his watch. Looking at the time, he said, Why do I feel like a day has passed from all this waiting?
Chapter 218 - Seventh Official Livestream! (2)
Chapter 218 C Seventh Official Livestream! (2)
The time finally reached nine oclock.
Upon seeing that no wormhole was appearing in his room, Chen Yu picked up his phone and opened WeChat without hesitation.
Sure enough, a message came from the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff member a second later.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Hello, Mr. Chen. Your transdimensional delivery has already been prepared. As the product this time is overly large, we cannot send it to your home. Please select a suitable open area.]
[Chen Yu: Does it have any destructive properties? Will it be a similar case to Kyojima District?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It isnt much destructive in nature, but I recommend you select a more spacious location. The bigger, the better. Also, try to stay on land.]
[Chen Yu: What is the product this time?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youll find out very soon, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Can a country hold it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You jest. Its just roughly a dozen times larger than the island-building ship, beast armor, and maglev train combined.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Or maybe dozens of times. Its final form might even be hundreds or thousands of times larger.]
[Chen Yu: Big Sis! Youre not dropping an asteroid on me, right?! I just recently saved the world, dammit!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, I promise that this is a very safe product.]
[Chen Yu: ]
Chen Yu silently set down his phone and approached the Interstellar Portal. He then fell into deep thought as he looked at the virtual projection of the Earth.
According to his original plan, if the product was a large object, he would set the review venue at the Tibetan Plateau.
However, after listening to the marketing staffs description, this project seemed to be a little too big. It definitely wouldnt be good to review it within the country.
In that case
Lets dump it in Japan! Didnt that old man say it was an honor for them to play host to my reviews? Chen Yu patted his head and made his decision. I even told him I was going to pay Japan another visit. I have to keep my promises.
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu happily reached out and slid his finger across the globe. After locating Japans map, he chose the uninhabited Echigo Plain near the Sea of Japan.
Of course, the word uninhabited here referred to a place with a small population.
Japan was a typical country scarce in plains. So long as a plateau existed, it would be full of people. Relatively speaking, the location Chen Yu chose wasnt densely populated.
Hence, a product that was over a dozen times larger than the beast armor would still be seen by many people.
Confirm.
Chen Yu chose to establish the spatial link, and very quickly, a snowy plain appeared in the portal.
Lets go. Put on your mask.
After calling for Little Peach, Chen Yu put on his opera mask and stepped through the portal, arriving in the land of Japan that was thousands of kilometers away.
How relaxing.
Bending down, Chen Yu picked up a soft lump of snow and started squeezing it while observing his surroundings.
Farmlands extended to as far as he could see from his current location. As it was currently winter, the only thing he could see covering the farmlands was snow. This was a suitable site to host a review.
This place is simply a paradise for snowball fights, Little Peach expressed as she walked out of the portal.
Cant you think of other things aside from playing? Disconnect the spatial link and change the portals shape. Youre my assistant, so you should be taking the initiative to do these things.
Oh
After seeing Little Peach turn toward the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and swiftly typed a message to the marketing staff.
[Chen Yu: Ive arrived. Is my current location sufficient?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its barely enough.]
[Chen Yu: Crap! What the hell did you apply for me?! Is it really not dangerous?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It shouldnt be very dangerous. Ill send it yo you now.]
[Chen Yu: Wait a minute!]
Lifting his head, Chen Yu looked at the blue sky above him. After some hesitation, he typed another message.
[Chen Yu: Send it to me in another two minutes.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Why?]
[Chen Yu: To increase the programs promotional effects. Remember, only send it to me after two minutes have passed. Also, make sure to open the wormhole far away from me. Dont hit me.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well, Mr. Chen. We always take your safety into account, so please rest assured.]
After exiting WeChat, Chen Yu passed his phone to Little Peach and looked at the time. He then said, Stand behind me. Were starting the livestream.
After adjusting the Interstellar Portals appearance into a five-meter-tall and three-meter-wide metal arch, Little Peach stood behind Chen Yu and asked in confusion, Shouldnt we start the livestream after the product arrives?
I heard the product this time is very large. The wormhole will definitely be a spectacular sight to behold. Well let the audience broaden their horizons.
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu gave the plain behind him one last glance. After making sure that no bystanders would get hit, he directed the floating camera toward himself.
Start the livestream!
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, YoutubeNiconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
[Total viewer count: 0]
14,622.
507,921.
4,006,673
As soon as Chen Yu opened the 10 livestream rooms to the public, over eight million viewers instantly flooded them. Moreover, the total viewer count was still rapidly rising.
[God, youre here.]
[God, youre here. +1]
[OHHHH]
[Ahhh! Its finally time for a livestream!]
[My fingers have grown tired from refreshing.]
[Its been a long wait.]
[The New Year is coming soon. I wish everyones girlfriends to be beautiful and boyfriends to be rich. For those without partners, work more overtime and make a fortune.]
[I dont know whether I should curse you]
[The female assistants body really is excellent. Im drooling.]
[With such a good figure, maybe the female assistant is actually a boy.]
[Isnt that even better?]
[?]
[??]
[Ahh! My train from Inner Mongolia finally arrived in Beijing! Host, where are you?]
When Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the statistics displayed on his watch, he couldnt help but smile.
Once this livestream ended, he would be raking in a considerable income
In just 20 seconds, his livestreams total viewer count had already exceeded the 10 million mark.
After sorting out the words in his mind, Chen Yu opened his arms and started with his opening remarks.
Good morning, friends and viewers in the 10 livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews seventh official livestream. As everyone can see, Ive been promoted. Thank you very much for your long-term support and attention.
There will be some changes happening in todays livestream. The review product will take another minute or so to arrive. I normally pay attention to everyones comments, and I can see that many of you are all curious about how the review products arrive. Hence, in response to your wishes, I have decided to start todays livestream one minute ahead of time to satisfy everyones curiosity.
After saying so, Chen Yu directed the camera toward the cloudless sky behind him.
[Its confirmed. This isnt within China! ( ????)]
[Let me conduct an analysis. Since the camera is angled toward the sky, this shows that the product is enormous. Since its a very large object, this means it is capable of causing geological disasters easily. And when I think of geological disasters, I immediately think of Japan. In conclusion: the venue is in Japan.]
[Amazing, amazing.]
[The first product after a rise in access level will definitely have very high technological content! The venue definitely cant be in Japan! If it is, Ill stuff chili sauce into my ass!]
[Screenshot, screenshot]
Amidst the torrent of bullet comments, a minute quickly passed by.
In the next moment, a rotating, space-time wormhole suddenly opened up in the sky!
Everyone among the audience could not help but be amazed by this scene that could typically only be seen in sci-fi movies.
However
As the wormhole frenziedly expanded, everyones expressions changed from surprise to doubt, astonishment, bewildered, and finally panic
Chapter 219 - Seventh Official Livestream! (3)
Chapter 219: Seventh Official Livestream! (3)
Chapter 219 C Seventh Official Livestream! (3)
Dammit! And she said it wasnt an asteroid?!
Dragging Little Peach to the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu anxiously called up the virtual Earth, ready to escape Japan at any time.
The livestreams millions of viewers also fell into a panic.
At this time, the wormhole in the sky had already expanded to a diameter of one kilometer. Moreover, the expansion still showed no signs of stopping.
It was also possible to see that a white, cubical object was slowly squeezing its way out of the wormhole
[Crap?!]
[Crap?!]
[So, Earth-kun still cant avoid getting hit?]
[UP, have you gone crazy?]
[Youre letting us see this?]
[Wonderful! Make it larger! Larger!]
[The channel is finally going to kill itself]
[I knew it! The host is seeking death!]
[I live in the nearby Nagaoka]
[KǤ!ä! (Its the end! Hooray!)]
What the hell is that thing?!
Meanwhile, inside the Observer Conference Hall in New York, the Japanese representative teams members all stood up in horror as they stared at the image displayed on the screen in a daze.
T-The wormholes diameter has reached 1,200 meters already
Each representative teams technical department hurriedly transmitted their calculation results and analysis reports to their respective team leaders.
Based on the exposed surface, we can speculate that the object is a square When Americas representative read the data displayed on his tablet, his expression turned ghastly pale as he said, The object is most likely similar to the boxes used to package the previous future technological products. But isnt it a little too big?! The length of its sides already exceeds 2,000 meters
This expanding hole Lets call it a wormhole for the time being, is more than a kilometer in the air. Once the object falls to the ground The middle-aged team leader of Chinas special situation team paused his words, not daring to imagine the resulting scene. Immediately, he pulled out the pill box in his breast pocket and took a set of pills.
C-Contact Transdimensionals UP! Quickly contact Transdimensionals UP! Japans representative said as he pulled out his communicator with trembling hands. He then started calling Nintendo, Sony, and the person in charge of Japans special situation office.
After all, these companies and organizations possessed permission to privately message Transdimensional Reviews channel.
He ran away already. The female representative from Austria, who sat quite far away from Japans representative leisurely said, And even if you managed to contact him, it would be of little use. He clearly cant stop that huge objects appearance. This really is terrible. Once that thing hits the ground, the resulting earthquakes and tsunamis would be unimaginable.
After saying so, the Austrian representative picked up the water glass before her and took a sip. She then looked at the main screen enthusiastically before sighing, How terrible. I cant even bear to watch.
Japans representative:
What is he doing?! This isnt a joke! The middle-aged team leader couldnt help but be annoyed by this situation.
A cube with a side length of over two kilometers was basically the same as an asteroid with a three-kilometer-diameter!
If such a massive object fell from a height of one kilometer, the entirety of Asia would be affected. The impact would cause a series of uncontrollable changes to global geology.
The resulting damages would basically be as bad as if Asteroid Bell shattered and hit Earth
Leader. At this time, Big Sis Wu approached the middle-aged team leader and whispered, Should we contact the target?
Theres no point in contacting him. Cant you see even he has run away? Its too late, the middle-aged man said. He then pulled out his communicator and handed it to Big Sis Wu, saying, What we need to consider now is the evacuation and post-disaster response plan. Fortunately, the team has prepared such a plan previously, so we can execute it immediately.
Ill notify the higher-ups now.
Sure, but delay it by a minute. According to past experiences, none of his reviews have caused any disasters before. Maybe
Ah!
Suddenly, a scream interrupted the twos conversation.
Immediately afterward, successive screams rang out inside the hall, and these screams carried with them panic and fear
Its coming! I-I-Its coming!
Here it comes!
Its coming out!
The middle-aged team leaders heart tightened in this situation. And when he looked up at the screen, his body immediately grew cold.
Currently, the wormhole displayed on the screen had already expanded to a diameter of at least three kilometers! Meanwhile, the white, square box also gradually broke away from the wormholes restraint.
At this time, the livestreams millions of viewers simultaneously lost their ability to think. They could only watch as the massive object squeezed out of the wormhole andslowly fell
???
Everyone inside the Observer Conference Hall was momentarily stunned, their minds failing to process this situation.
Uh
The middle-aged team leader rubbed his eyes vigorously, verifying that the square on the screen was indeed slowly freefalling from the sky. He then subconsciously turned to look at Americas representative.
Simultaneously, Americas representative also subconsciously turned to look at the middle-aged team leader.
For some time, the two men stared at each other in stunned silence.
S-Something seems wrong with this fall speed
Hey, somethings wrong with this fall speed.
When Chen Yu, who had fled to Mount Everest, saw the delivery box slowly descending from the air, he wondered, Why is it falling so slowly?
It seems very light. Tilting her head, Little Peach wondered, Is it filled with balloons?
How can there be balloons inside? Analyzing the situation, Chen Yu said, I know. The Transdimensional Marketing Company mustve added some sort of anti-gravity device to the box in consideration of the damage it would cause if it fell from such a great height.
There doesnt seem to be any more problems, then.
Mhm.
After hesitating before the Interstellar Portal for some time and verifying that the delivery boxs speed of descent was indeed very slow, Chen Yu boldly stepped through the portal and returned to Japans Echigo Plain.
Raising his head, Chen Yu looked at the gradually descending box. He then faced the camera and asked, Was it exciting?
[Exciting my ass! Crap!]
[Dammit! I nearly got scared to death!]
[Is it anti-gravity? How amazing!]
[What would be inside such a large box? A space shuttle?]
[This isnt interesting! Dislike! Why didnt you flatten the archipelago?!]
[Fool! Do you think you can get out unscathed being so close to it?!]
[This things massive! The length of its sides is at least eight Towers of Paris!]
[Its bigger than the small town in my county]
[I bet that its a colonial ship! If its not, Ill livestream myself stuffing chili sauce]
Boom!
Half a minute later, the delivery box crashed to the ground, the impact lifting up the snow within a kilometer of the box.
Even if the delivery box had some kind of anti-gravity effect applied to it, its massive size and weight still caused cracks on the ground.
Cough Cough
After waiting for the airborne snow to settle, Chen Yu quickly approached the box together with Little Peach.
As Chen Yu reached out and caressed the lines on the boxs surface, he said, Sure enough, this box is similar to the delivery boxes Ive shown everyone before. The only difference is that this one is slightly bigger.
Um
After circling around a part of the box, Chen Yu folded his arms around his chest and said, I cant even begin to imagine whats inside. If its something like an aircraft, it shouldnt come in a box. The island-building ship, beast armor, and maglev train didnt come wrapped in a box, yet such a large object actually came in one. This is incomprehensible.
Maybe theres a deceleration device equipped in this box to prevent the products landing from causing severe geological damage.
Regardless, lets begin the review.
Boom!
Chen Yu smashed his fist against the box. He then faced the camera and said, Our first topic will be the products unboxing!
This will be the biggest unboxing in history! Let us see what exactly is stored inside.
But first, I have to find a way to climb up this thing
Chapter 220 - World Creation (1)
Chapter 220 C World Creation (1)
Whoosh
After paying the island-building ship a visit and putting on the protective suit, Chen Yu returned to the Echigo Plain, flew to an altitude of 3,000 meters, and hovered above the delivery box.
Boom.
Turning off the engine, Chen Yu stood on top of the box and looked around. The arc of the horizon was clearly visible from his location, and he could see the distant plains, mountains, towns, and sea. The view atop the box was simply beautiful.
At a height of 3,000 meters, the box was already halfway through Earths troposphere. Chen Yu couldnt even begin to imagine what would be stored inside such a huge delivery box.
As you can see, this object thats equivalent to one-third the size of Mount Everest is indeed a delivery box, Chen Yu said as he stepped to the red region located at the center of the box. The red portion is the seal. Everyone shouldve seen me removing such a seal multiple times before.
After arriving before the seal, Chen Yu bent down and tore a small portion of it. He then powered up the plasma engine and took to the skies!
Tear!
Accompanied by loud tearing sounds, Chen Yu spent two whole minutes to tear the five-meter-wide and three-kilometer-long tape.
Damn, this thing is heavy.
Chen Yu originally wanted to roll up the tape and set it aside. However, when the wind blew at the three-kilometer-long tape, it resulted in a strong dragging force. To avoid straining his arms, Chen Yu decisively released the tape and allowed it to float to the sky like a red dragon.
How scary, Chen Yu commented as he watched the red tape grow increasingly smaller and disappear into the distant horizon. I feel like an ant on a gift box.
From my perspective, the unboxing process shouldnt be very shocking and exciting. Since this will be the biggest unboxing we have ever had on the show, Ill have the camera zoom out to let everyone have the perfect viewing experience.
Go!
After saying so, Chen Yu had the floating camera fly up to an altitude of 4,000 meters and record the giant box in its entirety.
[Its so big]
[Spectacular.]
[It feels like Im watching a closeup video.]
[The UP really became an ant.]
[What exactly is stored inside? Can you freaking hurry up?!]
[Just the cardboard box alone could sell for a lot of money, right?]
[It doesnt seem to be cardboard. Otherwise, it wouldve fallen apart long ago.]
[Maybe the review product this time is the box]
[The truth is out.]
After landing on top of the delivery box again, Chen Yu promptly lifted one of the top flaps and pushed it outward.
Ugh
Squeak
The 3,000-meter-long and 1,500-meter-wide flap creaked open under Chen Yus strength.
Crap! Ugh
Isnt this a little too heavy?!
Even after pushing with all his strength, Chen Yu only managed to push the flap to a 40-degree angle. Reluctantly, he supported the flap with his back and shoulders before activating the plasma engine once more.
Whoosh
The engine spewed out a trail of blue flames, and the huge thrust it generated allowed Chen Yu to finally open one side of the boxs cover.
Hu
Boom!
When the flaps angle exceeded 90 degrees, it fell under the drag of gravity and smashed heavily onto the wall of the box, the impact generating a deafening boom
Chen Yu:
Facts had proven that the more massive an object was in this universe, the more impressive it would be.
Meanwhile, with one side of the lid opened, a portion of the boxs content was also exposed for viewing.
And the boxs content was
Row after row of densely packed boxes
[]
[]
[Is this a scam?!]
[So, this official livestream really is a review for boxes?]
[Hahaha!]
[Are there even smaller boxes inside these small boxes?]
[No Matryoshka dolls!]
Bending down, Chen Yu grabbed a square box with 50-meter-long sides. After weighing the box with his hands, he couldnt help but frown. He then set the small box on the giant boxs other flap and carefully observed it. Hesitantly, he said, This box is different from the transdimensional delivery box outside. Its made purely out of cardboard and is very light. Look, there is also the number 163 printed on the box.
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out another box and said, This one has 164 printed on it. There should be box 165, 166, and so on as well. These serial numbers prove that these smaller boxes should contain components for a certain item. In that case, lets continue opening the smaller boxes and try to figure out what the completed product is.
Tear!
After flying to the top of Box 163, Chen Yu removed the 50-meter-long transparent tape and opened the lid with both hands.
The camera in the sky also slowly descended and automatically hovered above the small box, recording its content.
Meanwhile, inside the small box were
Even smaller small boxes
[What the heck?]
[Crap! Whos the prophet that said were reviewing boxes today?]
[I can vaguely guess what it is now]
[Me too! I guessed it as well! This is going to be cool!]
[What is it?]
Dammit! Are you screwing with me?!
After being dumbfounded for a moment, Chen Yu couldnt help but curse out loud. He then picked up the smaller small box from the small box and tore open its seal, revealing numerous pixel blocks measuring up to one or two meters in length.
The blocks had varying height, width, and length. The only similarity between them was that they were extremely light!
When Chen Yu took out an individual block and held it in his arms, he could hardly feel its existence.
Is it edible?
Opening his mouth, Chen Yu took a bite at the blocks corner. However, he found that the pixel block was unexpectedly firm. Despite being so large and weighing almost nothing, it is unbelievably tough. Its no wonder why the whole box descended so slowly. These blocks basically weigh as much as air.
Everyone, have you guessed what the product is? Ive nearly guessed it myself already
Du, du, du
At this moment, the faint sound of rotating propellers came from a distance.
Standing up, Chen Yu looked to the noises origin and saw at least 30 military helicopters approaching his direction.
The labor force is here; perfect timing. However, lets ignore them for now and continue with our unboxing, Chen Yu said as he placed the pixel block back into its box. He then bent down and started lifting the other 3,000-meter-long flap.
Hu
Boom!!
The tremors created from the impact of the boxs flap and wall sent many of the small boxes flying into the air. And only after a dozen seconds or so did the packages start to fall down.
However, two of the exceptionally light boxes actually got carried away by the wind.
Hey! You over there! Go grab those two boxes! Dont lose them! Chen Yu shouted at Little Peach as he laid on the giant boxs edge.
Okay~ Little Peach, who stood three kilometers underneath Chen Yu, replied. I~ also~ want to go up!
Wait below!
After shouting at Little Peach, Chen Yu turned toward the approaching helicopters and shouted, Stay away, dammit! Dont blow my boxes away!
In response, the leading helicopters pilot tilted his head and asked the translator beside him, What did he say?
The translator put down his binoculars and answered, I cant hear him at all. Lets get closer and ask.
Okay.
Pushing down on the cyclic stick, the pilot accelerated the helicopter.
What? Chen Yu subconsciously took out the High-frequency Lightsaber and activated it at maximum length. Quite bold, huh?
Du, du, du
Upon seeing the 40-meter-long lightsaber, the helicopters in the air promptly slammed the brakes and stopped.
Seeing this, Chen Yu retracted the lightsaber and ignored the helicopter group. He then quenched his throat with some saliva before walking to the center of the delivery box. He then picked up a rectangular box.
Unlike the other small boxes, this one had an image printed on it.
The image depicted multiple magical castles and buildings. There was also an eye-catching logo located on the bottom-right corner of the picture.
Sure enough, it really is this thing. Awesome.
Excitement flashed across Chen Yus eyes. He then turned the front of the box to the camera.
Everyone, did you guess correctly?
Its the Lego Companys building blocks.
And these building blocks are for a one-to-one ratio HogwartsSuper Floating Castle!
Chapter 221 - World Creation (2)
Chapter 221 C World Creation (2)
Sure enough, it really is this thing. Amazing.
Chen Yu slowly turned the box around and displayed its front to the camera. Its Hogwarts! A Super Floating Castle!
[Oooh~~]
[Lego is awesome.]
[So, the whole box is filled with building blocks?]
[Crazy!]
[A floating castle? Can it really float?]
[Im selling my house to buy Lego stocks now.]
[Did Lego bribe the host?]
[Isnt this a little too crazy? How large would the castle be once its pieced together? Can people live on it?]
[The host already said its a 1:1 scale floating castle.]
Im sure everyone is familiar with the Lego Company. Its a world-renowned toy company. The toy building blocks launched by the company are sold all over the world. And t seems the company will be the sponsor for todays livestream.
After giving the audience a 360-degree view of the box, Chen Yu removed the seal and opened the box, revealing the several dozen instruction manuals stored within it.
Grabbing the book labeled with the number 1, Chen Yu flipped to the first page. To his surprise, the Lego logo printed on the page actually jumped out of the paper and hopped between the page and cover.
This isa hologram? Chen Yu couldnt help but be surprised.
When he turned to the second page, numerous images emerged from the book. There was even a virtual avatar of Harry Potter riding around on a magic broom, and this avatar circled above Chen Yus head while yelling, Death is but the next great adventure!
Chen Yu felt as if he had just opened the rumored book of magic
A combination of books and holograms
Hurriedly, he set the book down on the ground and tried touching the pages. Afterward, he pinched the Harry Potter hovering above him before exclaiming, Crap! He has a physical body! Hes not a hologram! Damn Is reading such an experience in the future?
Poof!
Suddenly, the Harry Potter avatar disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared standing on the books page. The avatar then swung his wand at Chen Yu while chanting, Avada Kedavra!
Chen Yu: If I suddenly die, then this might as well be the product of God.
What the fuck? As if he had just witnessed something unbelievable, the Harry Potter avatar stumbled backward. He then flew back into the page and turned into a sticker.
What the fuck?! Is this something Harry Potter should say?! Chen Yu ranted.
[I dont need the floating castle. Im fine with just that book.]
[I dont need the whole book. Just give me one of those pages. Its best if theres a female character on it. I wanna see how realistic it is.]
[I really, really regret being born in this world so soon!]
[Humans of the future really are blessed.]
[When will you review a time machine? Take us to the future for a tour.]
[Looking at the technological content of that book, I bet its a product from the year 2500 or beyond]
After experiencing the instruction manuals novelty, Chen Yu turned to the third page. Immediately afterward, bubbles containing texts floated out of the page.
Every bubble represented a language.
(English.)
(???.)
(En fran?ais.)
(Deutsch.)
(???????.)
(ġ)
Chen Yu naturally chose Chinese without hesitation. The next moment, the words on the page instantly got translated into Chinese.
Thats it for the unboxing session. Once I finish reading the instruction manual, Ill give everyone an introduction and evaluate the product.
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Yu quickly flipped through the pages. After spending 10 minutes listening to music and watching special effects and animations, Chen Yu finished reading the first instruction manual.
Boom.
Tossing the manual back into the box, Chen Yu stood up and faced the camera. HogwartsCSuper Floating Castle is a part of the Lego Companys Harry Potter series, and it is produced in the year 3172. Those pixel blocks are made out of a material called Type-VV solid aerogel. The building blocks are also integrated with liquid nanoworms. Once the assembly is completed, the user can change the building blocks shape and texture through the programmed procedures.
For example, if a part of the completed structure is designated to be water, once the assembly is completed, that designated part will really become water. The same is also true for the parts designated to be clouds.
As for the magicians inside Hogwarts, they will naturally come to life as well. So, well have a chance to pinch a real Harry Potter.
[My world view]
[Are you sure this is something that exists in 3172?]
[Human technology has already developed into the supernatural in the 32nd century. Is there any difference between this and world creation?]
[Does that mean ordinary people that enter the castle can use magic as well?]
[I doubt even children of the 32nd century can complete such a big project, right?]
[Its obviously sold to playful adults]
With my current physics knowledge, I cant even begin to imagine how the form and nature of matter can be changed at will. However, this isnt a crucial matter. What we need to focus on is simply to review and use this product. As for the underlying principles, it has nothing to do with us.
Right, as a side note
Pointing at the protective suit he wore, Chen Yu said, When I evaluated this armor in the fourth official livestream, I once introduced that the substance that fills this armor is also called solid aerogel. However, the model used in the armor is only Type-VI.
The Super Floating Castle has a total of 216,000 integrated boxes, which are these things, Chen Yu said as he picked up a 50-meter-long box, the sight looking as if an ant was lifting a car. Every integrated box contains 125 marker boxes. And inside the marker boxes are Legos building blocks.
Every marker box has at least four building blocks. A conservative estimate puts the floating castle at 108 million pieces. Meanwhile, the official figure is 110 million.
Setting down the integrated box, Chen Yu couldnt help but click his tongue and exclaim, A total of 110 million building blocks. What a scary number. However, if we successfully assemble all the building blocks, well get a 1:0.3 Hogwarts Floating Castle.
There will definitely be someone among the bullet comments asking why it isnt a 1:1 ratio.
The 1:1 ratio refers to the ratio after the castle expands. During the assembly phase, the castle will just be one-third of the original size. Once the assembly is completed, the building blocks will release the concentrated hydrogen gas stored inside them, expanding the castle and allowing the castle to stay suspended in the sky!
It is possible to adjust the castles floating altitude by manipulating the hydrogen ratio in the main control room. The castle can go as low as zero meters off the ground and as high as outside the atmosphere.
Alright.
Chen Yu clapped his hands and spread his arms before the camera. Thats it for the products introduction. The next part is to conduct a live test. A bona fide magical floating castle. If it wasnt sitting right before my eyes, I wouldve never imagined that such a magical toy could exist.
There are 216,000 integrated boxes and 110 million building blocks. Even a fool can tell that I wont be able to finish assembling the castle together with my assistant. Obviously, we must seek the help of the audience. This will be the largest interactive event we have ever held.
Well then, are you guys ready?
Together, lets create a real, spectacular, and fantastical floating castle
Chapter 222 - Massive Interactive Event (1)
Chapter 222 C Massive Interactive Event (1)
While standing atop the three-kilometer-tall box, Chen Yu removed his protective suits left glove and looked at his watch. After pondering for a moment, he said, Opening the 210,000 integrated boxes will be a huge project. So, the viewers I select cannot arrive one by one, but group by group instead.
For my preliminary plan, the selected interactive audiences will be divided into three groups. Aside from the bullet comment group and donation group, well add an additional higher education group. Ill make the selection rules as simple as possible too.
One, the selected IDs for the bullet comment group must gather at least 20 friends to participate in the interactive event. If you cannot do this, please dont participate in the lottery.
Two, the selected IDs for the donation group must gather at least 100 members to participate. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
Three, the newly-added higher education group will consist of universities and colleges all over the world. Higher-education institutions that wish to participate can apply for the lottery by donating 100,000 yuan or above to the channel. However, note that additional donations will not affect your chances of getting chosen. Every higher-education ID chosen must also gather 300 students or above to participate.
These will be the rules for now, but I might add more later on. Now, lets dispense with the words and start drawing IDs immediately.
Raising his right hand, Chen Yu spread his five fingers to control the livestream rooms rhythm. After pausing in that position for several seconds, he continued, Firstly, the bullet comment group. Ill select five IDs.
Nowlets begin!
[Mine! Its mine!]
[Ahhh!]
[Everybody get lost! Its mine!]
[Me! Me! Me!]
[If I say Im a DJ, will you choose me?]
[Youre choosing five from over ten million people]
[RNGesus is my friend! Hell carry me!]
[Brothers, if you cant gather enough people, dont send a comment. Make room for us.]
[Im a shut-in without friends, colleagues, or classmates.]
An unprecedented wave of bullet comments swept through the livestream rooms.
At this point, only the text of bullet comments could be seen on Chen Yus watch.
After waiting for three minutes, Chen Yu waved his hand and shouted, Stop!
Ive finished choosing the five IDs. Ill now start naming them.
Bilibili, ID Thieving Cat.
DouYu, ID Milk Soup.
Niconico, ID I cant read Japanese. Lets change to another one. ID I still cant read it. Forget it. Lets skip Niconico.
Twitch, ID Striver.
Afreeca TV, ID Du Minjun.
Yeye Live, ID Cold Night 1986.
Setting down his watch, Chen Yu loudly said, The five chosen viewers, Ive already granted access for you to privately message me. You have three minutes to send me your coordinates and 10 minutes to gather at least 20 people. Failure to do either will result in disqualification.
[This damned RNGesus Dammit]
[Jealousy makes my lumbar disc prolapse.]
[Jealousy makes my prostate hyperplasia.]
[ ???? ]
[Anyone chosen from Beijing? Ill offer one million for a slot!]
[Anyone from New York? Bring me as well! Ill gift you a house!]
[Anybody from Wuhan? Ill bring my daughter-in-law with me. Ill leave her with you when were done]
[Anybody from the Antarctic? Bring me! Ill gift you a football team of penguins! I guarantee theyre stronger than national football teams!]
Next up is the donation group. For todays livestream, Ill allow you to wear equipment to the venue to conduct simple research.
The lottery begins now! Start throwing your money!
[Notice: Walmart Company has sent 50,000x Super Rockets.]
[Notice: Nobel Foundation sent 5,000x Transdimensional Glory. (A special gift Bilibili prepared specifically for Transdimensional Reviews livestreams. One Transdimensional Glory = 5,000 Chinese yuan.)]
[Notice: Coca-Cola Company sent 6,000x Transdimensional Glory.]
[Notice: NASA sent 70,000x Transdimensional Glory.]
[Notice: NASA sent 5,000x Transdimensional Glory.]
[Notice: NASA sent 22,000x Transdimensional Glory.]
[Notice: NASA]
Snap!
Ten minutes later, seeing that the gifts coming in from the livestream rooms was starting to decrease, Chen Yu snapped his fingers and shouted, Stop!
Times up. Ill start reading the list.
Bilibili, ID Lego Company.
After saying so, Chen Yu pushed against his glasses and shrugged, As the sponsor of this evaluation, it is only right for me to show this much respect.
DouYu, British Petroleum Company.
Periscope, Apple Technology Company.
Yeye Live
In the NASA headquarters thousands of kilometers away, NASAs gray-bearded director stared at the screen intently. However, when Chen Yu read the last ID for the donation group, the director became apathetic as he collapsed to his chair.
This
Why
Why!!!
Flip!
The director abruptly flipped the table before him and angrily roared, We donated the most! We even donated on every platform! Why cant you see us still?! Why?! Fuck!
Flip!
The IDs selected for the donation group, please send your coordinates to me as soon as possible. Also, gather a group of 100 employees or above. Lastly, the higher education group. The lottery will now begin.
[Notice: Columbia University sent 500x Transdimensional Glory.]
[Notice: NASA sent]
[Notice: League of Southern Beijing Universities sent]
Thats enough.
After another three minutes passed, Chen Yu put his glove back on and said, The higher education groups members are as follows: Cambridge University, Mensa University, Harbin Institute of Technology, University of South Africa, and Saint Louis University.
The five listed institutions, please gather at least 300 teachers and students within 10 minutes to participate in the floating citys assembly.
Now that weve drawn the lottery for all three groups, while the selected IDs are gathering the necessary manpower, Ill demonstrate to everyone how this product is assembled.
After saying so, Chen Yu walked to the edge of the delivery box, picked up the integrated boxes labeled 1 and 2, and tossed them over the ledge. He then picked up the box of instruction manuals and jumped off the box as well.
Boom!
Chen Yu landed on the ground precisely 53 seconds later. As for the two integrated boxes, they were still taking their sweet time descending.
Seeing Chen Yu coming down from the box, Little Peach hurriedly approached him and pointed at the descending integrated boxes, asking, King, what are these things?
Toys.
Toys?!
Yes. Theyre kind of like building blocks. Youll get to play with them in a moment.
Wow! Wonderful! Little Peach jumped up two meters into the air in excitement.
If you like it, Ill assign 500 integrated boxes to you afterward.
Really?
Really. However, you must make sure you assemble all of the toys. Chen Yu smirked.
Ill definitely finish assembling them!
Good. Dont break your promise.
I wont! Little Peach said as she heavily pounded her chest.
[Im getting dizzy.]
[Be gentler, my goddess!]]
[Crap! Dammit! Why didnt I get chosen?! I want to touch the female assistant up close!]
[Five hundred boxes Shes going to die.]
Two and a half minutes later, Integrated Box 1 finally landed on the ground.
Immediately, Chen Yu approached the box together with Little Peach. He then removed the boxs seal and retrieved 20 five-meter-long marker boxes from within. After going along the order and opening a few marker boxes, he ended up with 84 building blocks.
How do you play with them? Little Peach asked in confusion as she picked up a building block.
Ill check the instruction manual, Chen Yu said as he opened the first page of the second instruction manual. The pages virtual projection showed how to assemble all of the building blocks in Integrated Box 1.
Following the instructions, Chen Yu picked up Building Blocks 3 and 4 and tentatively combined them before the camera
Buzz!
A bright glow suddenly enveloped the two building blocks. When the light disappeared, the two originally translucent building blocks had actually turned into a slab of grayish-brown rock!
Crap
Chapter 223 - Massive Interactive Event (2)
Chapter 223 C Massive Interactive Event (2)
Crap
Chen Yu couldnt help but be dumbfounded when he saw the two building blocks turning into a slab of rock after merging together. And here he thought the building blocks would only transform after the whole castle was assembled
How amazing! Little Peachs eyes glowed with excitement. Hurriedly, she grabbed two building blocks and joined them together. However, to her disappointment, nothing happened. Huh? Why didnt mine change?
You need to assemble the blocks according to the instructions. Grabbing the two blocks Little Peach held, Chen Yu gave them a look and shook his head. The ones you grabbed are 7 and 22. Theres no way you can connect them successfully.
What about this? After looking at the building blocks arranged around them, Little Peach picked up the block labeled with 6 and asked, This is 6. Can this be connected?
Yes, Chen Yu replied as he tossed away Block 22 and grabbed Block 6. He then connected it with Block 7.
Buzz!
Along with a golden flash, the two blocks instantly turned into a rock slab.
How magical! Little Peach applauded excitedly.
I understand now. Bending down, Chen Yu grabbed Blocks 4 and 5 and successfully connected them. He then faced the camera and explained, The change in form can help players distinguish whether their assembly is correct. If it isnt, then the blocks will maintain their original form. This function will greatly improve assembly efficiency. These building blocks are much better than the Lego bricks currently available.
If Lego still used those old-fashioned bricks to construct such a large floating castle, even if no mistakes occurred during the assembly process, it would still take over a year to complete the assembly.
While giving his explanation, Chen Yu connected the three slabs of rock together.
Buzz!!
Instead of a golden glow, a red glow appeared this time. Immediately afterward, the three slabs merged to form an eight-meter-long rock slab.
Based on appearances, these rock slabs should be the castles bedrock, which is consistent with the modern Lego companys design style. Whether it is a castle or a battleship, the bricks of all modern Lego models have their foundations labeled at the start of the numbering series.
After saying so, Chen Yu set the rock slab down. However, just as he was about to continue connecting the other building blocks, he was surprised to find no blocks around him.
Turning around, he found that Little Peach had already assembled the remaining 78 blocks
Are you on drugs? How are you so fast?
Its very easy! Little Peach said as she climbed up to the integrated box and sat on top of it. Her hands then began swiftly opening the remaining marker boxes and connecting building blocks one after another. She didnt even have to read the instructions as she simply connected the blocks based on their serial numbers. On average, she only needed half a second to complete a connection
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
Looking at the grayish-brown rock slabs falling from the sky one after another, Chen Yu suddenly felt that he had recruited too many helpers for the interactive event
Maybe the assembly of Lego bricks in the future was very simple.
Or maybe Little Peach just had a special talent for games.
The first integrated box had a total of 125 marker boxes and 510 building blocks, yet Little Peach had only spent four minutes to empty out the box.
Haha! This is so fun!
Tearing apart the empty box and crawling out of it, Little Peach then began excitedly connecting the assembled blocks to form a 45-meter-long, 48-meter-high, and 44-meter-wide hill. She then hopped onto the second integrated box.
King! Just 500 isnt enough! Can you give me another 500 integrated boxes to play with?
Chen Yu:
Chen Yu silently turned around and left. He then removed his glove and looked at the time. Its been over 10 minutes now. Members of the bullet comment group, donation group, and higher education group, have you gathered your personnel? Ill begin teleporting you here now.
Oh, by the way, is the local government watching the livestream as well? Have the helicopters in the sky descend and seal off the area to prevent anyone from slipping away. Also, get me some trucks to tow away the dismantled cardboard boxes. Ill gift them to you. No need for thanks.
After saying so, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and entered the first address.
As usual, he teleported the lucky winners of the bullet comment group first.
Oh, oh, oohh!
Awesome!
Hes here! Hes really here!
As soon as the spatial link was established, the 40 or so people beyond the portal immediately cheered in celebration. Immediately afterward, they ran through the portal like a pack of wild dogs.
Of the crowd, the boys didnt dare approach Chen Yu. However, several courageous girls threw themselves directly onto Chen Yu, hugging him while screaming their lungs out.
Ah! Ahh!
Hes the real deal!
I finally get to see you in person, UP!
Youre my only idol
Seeing that Chen Yu didnt make any dangerous responses, the surrounding boys also couldnt help but step forward and hugthe girls surrounding Chen Yu while similarly screaming their lungs out
[How envious.]
[Which one are you envying? ????]
[It became a snake ball]
[Dammit! Is this a large-scale XX?!]
[Hello? 110?]
[Why do I feel so excited? I didnt even get chosen]
C-Calm down! Chen Yu hurriedly backed away from the crowd. Everyone, calm down!
Ah! UP! I love you!
I love him even more!
Crap! The UP and I are the official couple!
Can you take a group photo with me?
If you want to take a group photo, then take it! Why are you taking off your coat?!
The crowd ceaselessly bickered with each other, the noise irritating Chen Yu. Although he had tried asking Little Peach for help, the artificial idiot didnt even spare him a glance. She was fully immersed in assembling the building blocks.
Goddammit.
Gritting his teeth, Chen Yu grabbed the two girls trying to approach him and tossed them back to the crowd. He then moved even further away from the crowd and pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber. Nobody come here!
Everyone:
All of you stay at least 300 meters away from me! Anyone that tries to stick to me again will get disqualified!
Everyone: Mhm, mhm, mhm.
Removing the pink camisole hanging around his neck, Chen Yu fell silent for a moment before roaring, Who left this?!
After settling the excited crowd, Chen Yu returned to the portal and entered the second address.
Oh, oh, oohh!
Awesome!
Hes here! Hes really here!
When the spatial link was established, several familiar lines came from beyond the portal.
Silently pulling out the lightsaber again, Chen Yu said, I allow you to move within 39.9 meters of me.
After spending 10 minutes, he finally teleported all five teams of the bullet comment group to the site. The five teams had a total of 171 people.
Initially, there shouldve been over 180 people. However, some fools were still wearing summer clothing when Chen Yu opened a portal to them, and they ended up returning shortly after crossing the portal. They even asked Chen Yu to wait for them.
With how kind Chen Yu was, he naturally disconnected the spatial link without hesitation, making sure that these people had no way of returning
Excellent. The bullet comment group members are all here now. There are 21 more people than I expected.
The ID holder of each team, come out!
At Chen Yus command, five people promptly stepped out from the crowd.
Two were Chinese, one was American, one was Korean, and one was Vietnamese.
Youll be responsible for the friends youve gathered. Assemble the building blocks inside the integrated boxes Ive assigned to you.
Okay. x5
After organizing the bullet comment group, Chen Yu put away the lightsaber and started teleporting the donation groups five teams.
The donation group was composed of large companies or institutions. The organization and discipline of their personnel should be far superior to ordinary people, so Chen Yu didnt feel that he would need the lightsaber to act as a deterrence.
Big companies still have morals.
First, lets teleport the supplier for todays product, the Lego Company!
After saying so, Chen Yu initiated the spatial link.
The next moment, space within the metal arch fluctuated, and the spatial link was established. Women of various nationalities with graceful figures and excellent facial profiles then rushed through the portal one after another. They quickly surrounded Chen Yu and desperately squeezed him between them
UP! I love you!
Am I your type?
Oppa, I love you!
Ti amo! (Italian: I love you)
ˤ,椺Ǥ! (Hello, my name is Yuzu!)
Mr. King, these are all of my companys best employees! a pot-bellied, middle-aged white man declared as he walked through the portal. He then repeatedly bowed to Chen Yu and said, They all love you very much. Which one do you like? You can choose whoever you want.
Chen Yu:
Meanwhile, Little Peach, who was assembling building blocks on top of the distant box, suddenly turned to look at Chen Yu with a dazed look.
Chapter 224 - Massive Interactive Event (3)
Chapter 224 C Massive Interactive Event (3)
King, Im afraid of heights.
Afraid my ass. Just obediently stay here. After carrying Little Peach, who had been behaving strangely before, to the top of the 3,000-meter-tall delivery box, Chen Yu instructed, Listen to my instructions later and throw down the integrated boxes.
Its too high. I want to go down. Little Peach stamped her feet and crushed the integrated box made of cardboard underneath her.
Didnt you ask to come up just now? Just stay here.
After saying so, Chen Yu jumped off the box and controlled his speed of descent with the plasma engine. After landing on the ground, he approached the supervisor for the Lego Companys team and said, The Super Floating Castle is a toy your company produced. As the Lego Companys representative, do you have anything to say to the camera regarding this product?
Wheres the camera? the fat man asked as he looked around nervously.
Ignore the camera; just look at me.
Oh, okay. The fat man stiffly bowed to Chen Yu. He then spoke in broken Chinese, The fact that Lego, which originally already had close to a century of history, can exist even a thousand years later is already a matter every Lego employee should celebrate and be proud of. Oh, heavens, I cant even believe this is true
Put away your damn accent, and Ill allow you to say a few more words, Chen Yu said calmly.
Ah, sorry, I got a little too excited. In regards to this product, I think that it is really great, the fat man said while waving his arms around exaggeratedly. Its so big and exquisite. I can only describe it as a work of art. Whether it is in the past, present, or future, the whole of Lego will be proud of its birth. By the way, can you lend us a copy of those assembly instructions and construction drawings?
Hearing this, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, You want to plagiarise it?
Uh This is originally our companys product. How can it be considered plagiarism?
That sounds logical.
So, do you agree to it? the fat man asked with an expectant look.
I have no problems with it so long as you dont delay anyones assembly speed.
Thank you! Thank you very much for your help! the fat man repeatedly bowed. He then pointed at the crowd of beauties behind him and asked, Are you sure none of them interests you?
No. Have them stand further away.
Tentatively, the fat man asked, How about we switch to a new batch?
Switch my ass! Get lost!
[Ahahaha]
[Its even possible to change batches?]
[Does this foreigner visit Dongguan for business trips?][1]
After dismissing Legos 121 employees, Chen Yu continued teleporting the donation groups four other companiesBritish Petroleum, Apple, China Mobile, and Dell Technologies.
The four companies brought a total of 515 people.
Of these company employees of different skin tones, some possessed sharp temperaments unique to soldiers. It was apparent these people belonged to the military.
However, Chen Yu didnt care about this detail.
After all, he had already guessed that of the thousands of people he would bring here, more than half of them might be secret agents!
So long as these people didnt affect his review process, he would close his eyes to them.
Now, all thats left is the higher education group. First, well start with Mensa International.
The moment the spatial link was established, lively music came through the portal.
A moment later, led by a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, rows of teachers and students holding school flags and posters walked through the portal.
Hello! The middle-aged man enthusiastically grasped Chen Yus hands. Its an honor to meet you!
You guys Chen Yu frowned. What kind of move are you pulling?
Mr. King, it is a great fortune for Mensa University to be selected as a member of the higher education group this time. It is also a fortune for the entire Mensa International. With such a wonderful opportunity, we naturally have to display our history and culture to the world! This will
Stop! Wait a minute! Chen Yu hurriedly interrupted the other partys official speech. Whats your post?
I am a director of Mensa International. Im calledhuh?
Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, Chen Yu picked him up and tossed him back into the portal. Return from whence you came.
The music abruptly halted.
Mensa Internationals representative teachers stared at Chen Yu in shock. A few timid female teachers even stumbled a few steps backward.
However, contrasting the teachers reactions, the students nearly burst out in laughter, and they all clapped their hands in celebration.
Whats written on these posters?
Grabbing one of the school propaganda posters, Chen Yu gave it a glance and found that it contained pictures of a certain leader entering the school on a certain day and several boastful and narcissistic lines. Immediately, he tossed the poster away and said, Whats all this propaganda for? When traveling to the University of Berlin, Yu Qiuyu once said: The powder on ones face cannot prove their identity. On the contrary, putting on too much powder will achieve the reverse effect. Are you guys putting on a show? Wheres your principal? Is there a person in charge of the group?
Me! Im the person in charge!
A middle-aged woman hurriedly stepped forward and said, Im the principal.
Im here to review products, not to host exhibitions. Put away your posters and have your students stand aside. Wait for the interactive event to begin.
Okay, okay. Sorry for causing you trouble.
After waiting for the Mensa Universitys team to make way, Chen Yu proceeded with teleporting the teams from Cambridge University, Harbin Institute of Technology, University of South Africa, and Saint Louis University.
Including Mensa University, the higher education group had a total of 1,809 people.
Together with the bullet comment group and donation group, Chen Yu had gathered a total of 2,495 people. After having these people queue up, they had very nearly filled up half a plot of farmland.
Activating the plasma engine, Chen Yu flew to the Japanese militarys helicopter group. After borrowing a portable speaker from the translator, he flew back.
Hello? Hu Hu
After testing the microphone, he adjusted the volume to the maximum and said, First of all, thank you very much for your support and participation in helping me construct mankinds first floating castle.
All participants, please obey the instructions of your supervisors. Do not randomly move about or do anything inappropriate. If I catch you doing so, a light offense will result in disqualification. A heavy offense
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber and deliberately deepened his voice, Will result in death.
A cold wind blew by, sweeping some of the snow on the ground into the air.
The whispers that filled the scene a moment ago instantly disappeared and an eerie silence filled the area
After scanning the crowd a few times, Chen Yu retracted the lightsaber and returned to his casual tone, Of course, as one of the contributors to the floating castles construction, youll get to visit and tour the castle once the assembly is complete.
Yay!
! (Awesome!)
Ohhh!
Great!
Everyone immediately broke out in cheers.
To speed up the assembly process, Ill arrange the division of labor. Flying higher into the air, Chen Yu said through the microphone, We have 216,000 integrated boxes and 2,495 people present. Each person will be responsible for 86 integrated boxes on average. In that case, the division of labor is as follows: The bullet comment groups 171 people will be responsible for Integrated Box 3 to 15,000.
The donation groups 515 people will be responsible for Integrated Box 15,001 to 45,000.
The higher education groups 1,809 people will be responsible for the rest.
Once each team completes your own assembly, merge your assembled parts with the other teams belonging to your group. Eventually, well have all three groups connect their parts and complete the floating castles construction! The instruction manuals are on the ground. The teams that need them can take them.
Then
Waving his hand, Chen Yu mustered his emotions and shouted, Let us create a world together!
Ooohh!!
Chapter 225 - Hogwarts, Assembly Complete!
Chapter 225 C Hogwarts, Assembly Complete!
Whoosh
Whoosh
Little Peach tossed the integrated boxes with 50-meter-long sides to the ground one after another.
Meanwhile, the crowd on the plain was busy receiving the boxes.
The bullet comment group participants, who were assigned to the start of the sequence, had even begun opening their integrated boxes already. And under everyones envious and curious gazes, they started assembling the building blocks one after another.
Hup!
As for Chen Yu, he dove to the bottom of the delivery box and, with the help of the plasma engine, pushed out whole columns of integrated boxes at a time.
Swish Swish Swish
The boxes fell from a 3,000-meter-altitude. And as they fell, they were further scattered by the wind, spreading out to obscure the sky.
Some distance away from the construction site, roaring trucks arrived one after another. Thousands of soldiers then jumped off of these trucks. Together with the previous helicopter pilots, soldiers, and observers, they formed a blockade around the construction site to prevent the event participants from leaving.
Simultaneously, though, these military men also worked to prevent outsiders from entering the construction site.
The 3,000-meter-tall delivery box could be seen from across most of the Echigo Plain.
This was especially true for Nagaoka, a nearby city. The citys two million residents could very clearly see the delivery box,
At this rate, Chen Yu estimated that he would, at most, be promoted to access level B- before the whole of humanity knew of him
Regardless, while 216,000 integrated boxes might not sound like a lot, but in fact, it was a huge number.
Even with the protective suits help, Chen Yu could only carry three to four hundred boxes at a time. And after two hours of working non-stop, he had only managed to toss out around 140,000 integrated boxes.
At this time, the snowy plain around the delivery box had also been fully occupied.
Trucks continuously drove to and from the plain, loading up on the empty boxes left by the participants and taking them away. They did their best to empty the site of empty boxes.
King, I want to go down and play as well.
Seeing that Chen Yu was currently taking a break, Little Peach hurriedly approached him and pleaded eagerly.
Just assemble the blocks up here and toss the assembled parts down.
Its more lively down there.
You cant attack those women, then.
I wont! With a stern expression, Little Peach said, How could I possibly do such a thing?
It just so happened that Chen Yu wanted to see everyones progress. He then picked up Little Peach and took a leap of faith, jumping down from the delivery box.
Boom!
The loud impact noise attracted many peoples attention. When everyone saw Chen Yu had come down, many of them gathered to greet him.
You guys better hurry up. Try to finish up by three in the afternoon, Chen Yu spoke like a heartless boss as he ordered everyone back to their positions. He then released Little Peach and picked up an instruction manual on the ground.
Turning to a page with a map on it, he showed the map to the camera and said, As you can see from this map, the Hogwarts Floating Castle doesnt consist of just a few castles. The surrounding terrain is included as well. For example, there are the train stations and railways circling the floating castle, the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the vegetable fields, the walls, the roads and fields outside the walls, the Quidditch stadium, and even the Hogsmeade Village
Rather than call it a floating castle, its apt to call it a floating island instead. Once the assembly is completed, it will fly into the sky and can accommodate at least 10,000 people.
[Im kneeling.]
[Kneeling. +1]
[Just 10,000? If you squeeze a little, it can definitely hold 100,000 people.]
[Why is it a magic castle? If its a modern floating city, it can definitely become the center of modern human civilization!]
[Its just a toy, after all]
[If it hovers in the clouds, whats the difference between it and the world of saints?]
[I wonder how much the housing prices on it will be?]
[Beijing and Shanghai have a vacuum maglev train, Japan has a mech, and now the atmosphere has a castle. Is this still the world I know?]
[In the future, the sun might also be wrapped around by a Dyson sphere, and there would be various spacecraft docked in low Earth orbit]
After flying 500 meters into the air, Chen Yu stared at the map and compared it with everyones assembly progress.
The bullet comment groups parts are mostly for the foundation, so lets ignore them for now. The donation group is handling the Forbidden Forest, and theyre roughly 60% done. The higher education group is Wait a minute.
Setting aside the manual, Chen Yu pulled out the microphone and yelled, Those from Dell Technologies! The thing you guys are playing with is a small hydraulic press, right?!
W-Whats wrong? three of Dells researchers unanimously replied while looking up.
Whats wrong? Youre asking whats wrong? Do you think its right to use a hydraulic press on the building blocks?!
W-We just want to test its hardness.
Do you want me to test your bodys hardness with the hydraulic press?
No need! One of the researchers hurriedly waved his wand. We wont do it anymore.
You three arent from Dell, right?
Uh W-Were partners.
You people from government research institutions listen up. You can do your research, but do not cause damage or delay other peoples work.
Understood!
Just as Chen Yu had put down his microphone and was about to continue narrating the assembly progress to his 10 million-plus viewers, he discovered another anomaly. His complexion darkening, he yelled, You over there! The man in the orange coat from the University of South Africa! You!
Me? The black man in question pointed at himself. Is it me?
Yes, you. Whats inside the backpack beside you?
This? The black man timidly lifted the backpack that was several times larger than him. Are you talking about this?
Yes. Whats inside?
Instant noodles.
Noodles your ass. Chen Yu nearly broke into an angry laugh. Take that building block out! What youre doing is stealing, understand?
Its not stealing! The black man hurriedly unzipped his backpack and showed the marker on the block. The serial number is X156! Its a spare block!
You cant take it even if its an extra! If you want to do research, do it after the assembly is complete! What to do with the leftover blocks will also be decided then! Taking a block now equivalent to stealing!
Chen Yu maintained an uncompromising attitude. Immediately, he picked up the black man and flew into the air. After scanning the crowd below him, he shouted into the microphone, Ive already stated the rules before. Any offenders I catch will either get disqualified or lose their lives, depending on the severity of their offenses.
No! Oh my god!
The black man began to struggle in horror.
Youre the first chic- person to be picked out by me. You are now disqualified from participating.[1]
Please dont
Ignoring the black mans pleading, Chen Yu dragged him away under everyones gaze and tossed him to the nearby soldiers. He then ordered the soldiers, Detain him until the end of the review.
Hai!
Two armed soldiers hurriedly nodded and detained the black man.
Only after Chen Yu had flown away did the two soldiers reacted to the situation. They then exchanged startled looks with each other.
Hes not our commander, so why should we listen to him?
I dont know
While suspended in mid-air, Chen Yu glanced at the many researchers and special agents that had cooled their heads. He then flipped open the instruction manual and resumed his narration, As I was saying, the donation group is assembling the Forbidden Forest, and they are nearly done with it. The higher education group is assembling the castles, Black Lake, train stations, and railways. Their progress is very quick, and they should be done in less than an hour. That leaves the walls, the Quidditch stadium, the Hogsmeade Village, the roads, and fields.
While there are indeed many integrated boxes, but we have close to three thousand people working on assembling the castle, so the work efficiency is still excellent.
It is worth mentioning that
Flipping to the next page, Chen Yu pointed at a small line of words and read it, This product is recommended for 2-4 people
Well, maybe people in the future live longer lives.
Boom!
Closing the instruction manual, Chen Yu faced the camera and held up two fingers. Two hours. In two more hours, we should have the vast Hogwarts assembled and take off to the skies!
That will definitely be a spectacular sight to behold.
Let us look forward to it.
As Chen Yu predicted, with 2,495 people working together, it only took another one hour and forty-five minutes for them to assemble all 110 million building blocks!
The combined building blocks were divided into three parts.
The bullet comment groups foundation.
The donation groups Forbidden Forest, roads, and fields.
The higher education groups Black Forest, castles, train stations, railways, stadium, walls, and village clusters.
Once these three main parts were assembled, the HogwartsSuper Floating Castle would be completed!
Listen to me, everyone. Dont touch the foundation. Well move the Forbidden Forest first! Everyone grab a corner. It isnt very heavy
Slowly move forward. The ones walking backward at the front, pay attention not to trip on something and fall
Those underneath the forest, out of the way!
Counting down from three; three, two, one! Let go!
The participants simultaneously released their grip, letting the massive Forbidden Forest slowly hover down to the foundation.
Buzz!!
A blue glow enveloped the entire Forbidden Forest. When the light disappeared, the forest had perfectly connected to the foundation.
Last one!
Raising the microphone, Chen Yu loudly commanded, Everyone take part in this one! Like before, everyone grab a corner! Hey! Those soldiers over there! Come over and help as well
Its in position! Those underneath, pull back!
Counting down from three!
Three!
Two!
One! Let go!
Boom
The building cluster fell and merged with the foundation and Forbidden Forest.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a rainbow of colors enveloped the entire construct
Chapter 226 - Rush to the Sky! (1)
Chapter 226 C Rush to the Sky! (1)
A bright but gentle light bloomed in the Echigo Plain.
As if having fallen into a dream, everyone stood still in a daze.
Shortly afterward, the bright light disappeared, and an island occupying a small portion of the plain appeared in the eyes of the thousands of people present on the plain and the 13 million people watching the livestream.
On the island, one could see mottled railways, flowing lakes, quiet forests, quaint villages, floating clouds, rustic gardens with butterflies flying, and castle complexes decorated by engravings The island looked ingenious and beautiful
[A miracle]
[This is no different from world creation.]
[Let me stay on it for a day! Im even willing to eat poop!]
[This scenery makes me want to recite a poem: Its so pretty, its so beautiful, its so fun; it really makes me want to explore it.]
[Its a fairyland.]
[Ive visited the livestream rooms of all 10 broadcasting platforms, yet Bilibilis is still the most crowded! Awesome!]
[Bilibili really picked up a gem.]
Flying high in the sky, Chen Yu looked down at the island and excitedly said through the microphone, No problems sighted! The HogwartsSuper Floating Castles constructionis complete!
Ooohh!!
Yay!
The crowd standing on the island cheered and jumped up in excitement.
Boom!
Landing on the station located at the islands edge, Chen Yu bent over and reached out to touch the railway. He then showed it to the camera, Can you see it? Its rust. If I didnt see everyone piecing this thing together, I definitely wouldnt believe that all this is just a toy made up of building blocks.
Sure enough, after the development of science and technology reaches a certain point, they will be no different than magic.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked at the crowd eagerly waiting to jump onto the island. Come on up. Ill be releasing the concentrated hydrogen soon. Dont stay outside.
Hearing this, the 2,495 participants climbed onto the island in excitement. They then gathered before the railway train, pulled out their phones, and started taking photos with each other. Many people also tried to host their own livestreams but found that the internet connection in the area had long since been cut off
At this time, Japans soldiers also came rushing over. They scrambled to climb up the island. However, Chen Yu had stopped them.
Where do you think youre going?
D-Didnt you have us come up? a military officer weakly said.
I was talking to the event participants, not you. Leave. Chen Yu said as he shooed the soldiers away like flies. There are more than enough people on board. The island cant accommodate any more. Stay away. Otherwise, youll get hurt once the castle expands.
The soldiers:
Let me find out how to release the hydrogen
Walking back to the train station, Chen Yu grabbed the instruction manual in Little Peachs hand and flipped to the last page. After briefly reading it, he faced the camera and explained, According to the instructions, for the safety of children, all controls of the floating castle are left to the castles artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the AI in question is the Lego doll that comes with this product. It can be used once its assembled.
As for the doll in question
Closing the instructions, Chen Yu turned to look at the University of South Africas teams supervisor and asked, You havent opened the last numbered integrated box, right?
Yes. The supervisor nodded. The assembly of the other parts was completed before we could get to that box.
The doll should be inside there. Ill go collect it.
Jumping off the island, Chen Yu quickly arrived before the Integrated Box 216000. After picking it up, he flew back to the station, opened the box, and poured out the 125 marker box within it.
Upon opening these marker boxes, he found that 25 of them actually contained the various props used in the Harry Potter series. For example, there was the Sorting Hat, the Magic Mirror of Eris, the Philosophers Stone, the Flying Broom, the Sword of Gryffindor, and the Marauders Map.
As for the remaining 100 marker boxes, each of them contained the building blocks for a doll.
The 100 marker boxes only contained several hundred building blocks. With everyone vying to help with the assembly, it took less than three minutes to distribute all of the building blocks.
However, to Chen Yus surprise, except for the female wizard Hermione, he couldnt find the other famous figures in the Harry Potter series such as Harry Potter, Dumbledore, Snape, etc.
Of the 100 dolls, only 10 were human, with one of them being Hermione, and the other nine being nameless Auror mages.
As for the 90 remaining dolls, they were all magical creatures.
Hermione should be the castles AI. There might be an authority recognition function, so Ill assemble her.
Snatching the box containing Hermiones parts, Chen Yu opened the box and poured out the fragmented Hermione. He then started assembling her head, then her legs, then her buttocks, and then her chest
Lastly, he combined all four parts together.
Buzz!
With a golden flash, the originally blocky doll instantly transformed into a girl with a slim body.
[Crap! A foreign beauty!]
[My dominant arm is itching again.]
[How beautiful]
[So, this floating castle is actually a harem?]
[The children of the future are definitely malnourished.]
[Host, I recommend you change the livestream title to: Human Creation.]
Hello, I am Hermione Granger, the Minister of Hogwarts Ministry of Magic, the girl bowed slightly to Chen Yu, her golden curls attracting the attention of all of the men present.
After visually inspecting Hermione, Chen Yu said in surprise, Are you an AI with self-thinking capabilities?
Yes. I belong to the Strong AI classification. I can only operate near the floating castle. May I know how I should address you?
Mhm Call me Headmaster. Chen Yu subconsciously turned to look at Little Peach. He recalled that the romantic partner simulation robot was also considered a Strong AI.
Very well, Headmaster. Hermione bowed, her face carrying an emotionless smile. Should I lift the castle now?
No rush. For now, I want to ask about the other story characters such as Harry Potter. Where are they? Why are you the only one that came in the box?
HogwartsSuper Floating Castle will only give away one Lego figure. If you prefer the other figures, please purchase them separately.
Chen Yu turned to look at the Lego Companys representative and put on a cold smile. Yes, this is very Lego-like.
A hint of awkwardness surfaced on Legos representatives face.
Release the hydrogen now, then, Chen Yu ordered.
For your safety, please complete the assembly of the nine Auror mages as soon as possible. Otherwise, the castle cannot take off.
Are these Auror mages the security devices that prevent people from getting blown off the island?
Yes. Hermione nodded.
One minute later, the building blocks of all 100 dolls were assembled. The largest creature was an octopus, and it rose into the sky the moment it took shape. It then crossed the station and launched itself into the Black Lake, the impact sending water flying over a dozen meters into the air.
As for the nine Auror mages, they waved their staffs before turning into tens of thousands of light particles. They then merged into the ground and disappeared one after another.
The style of the scene suddenly changed from science fiction to magic
Hey! While everyones attention was focused on the magical creatures, Little Peach sneakily approached Hermione and quietly asked, Are you a robot too?
Yes. Hello.
Do you have a romance module loaded?
No. Hermione shook her head. I am only an assistive artificial intelligence. I do not have any advanced emotion modules installed.
Is your body structure simulation rate at 100%? Little Peach asked in an even lower voice.
No.
Thats great! Little Peach excitedly reached out and put her arm around Hermiones shoulders. Youll be my brother from now on!
After remaining silent for a while, Hermione answered, It is my honor.
After breaking away from Little Peach, Hermione waved her staff. Her body then rose into the air, her actions causing everyones attention to return to her.
Dear guests, the castle will now be lifting off. Please stabilize your center of gravity and pay attention to safety.
As soon as Hermiones crisp voice fell, the entire island started expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Chapter 227 - Rush to the Sky! (2)
Chapter 227 C Rush to the Sky! (2)
The islands expansion lasted for three minutes, and the islands total surface area had tripled by the end of the expansion!
The railway station that was crowded with over 2,000 people also became much more spacious.
This is Gods doing! Cambridge Universitys principal knelt down and shuddered as he touched the grown. Unbelievable
The various government researchers present also started working busily. Many of them took out containers and filled them with sand, gravel, or liquid from the Black Lake.
By the time the floating castle had expanded to perfectly match the Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series to a 1:1 ratio, a hidden switch was triggered. Immediately, the condensed hydrogen was released, filling the interior of every building block.
As the castles buoyancy became stronger than gravity, the island made of aerogel gradually lifted off the ground.
[Its flying! Its flying!]
[Too! Awesome!]
[A supernatural craftsmanship]
[Its actually using buoyancy to let the ground float! What a show!]
[Ive never even heard of such a method before.]
[The future Lego Company has quite the big brain.]
[It would be even better if a hydrogen explosion occurred!]
On the ground, over 2,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of curious locals gaped in shock as they looked at the massive floating island that blotted out the sky.
This spectacular, majestic, magnificent, and miraculous scene had been imprinted in the deepest part of their minds. They would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.
˽ωҊƤޤ? (Am I dreaming?)
ϟ褦Ǥ! (It seems I caught a fever today)
!(Ah! Im a reporter! What the hell is that?! Why arent you letting me in? Is it a new type of weapon made by America? Dont touch me! Stop! I have the right to uncover the truth)P
As the floating castle flew higher and higher, the number of locals that saw it naturally increased. Some were shocked, some panicked, some fell into chaos, and some took photos out of curiosity.
Over five million people resided in the Echigo Plain, and the colossal island could be seen just by looking up. The local authorities could not hide its existence even if they wanted to. The best they could do was temporarily block traffic and the internet to prevent news from spreading too rapidly
On the island
Many courageous people ran to the edge of the island and tried lying on the cliff to look at the ground below. However, before they could enact their thoughts, several Auror mages appeared to stop them. It is dangerous ahead. Please do not come closer.
Hermione also hovered in the air and solemnly said, The higher the altitude, the stronger the wind would be. For your safety, please stay away from the edge. If you wish to see the ground scenery, you can enter the Astronomy Tower and Central Tower in the castle. You can have a 360-degree view there.
I suddenly thought of a problem. Raising his microphone, Chen Yu asked, There are over 2,000 of us standing in a single spot. Wont the imbalance distribution of weight cause the floating castle to overturn?
It wont. Hermione shook her head as she landed on the ground. I am controlling the castles hydrogen density and distribution to ensure the balance of buoyancy.
So, the reason why an AI is needed for this castle is to control these complex tasks?
Yes.
Compared to the toy nuclear bombs made in the 22nd century, this castle certainly is more advanced. As Chen Yu looked at the shrinking land below the castle, he asked another question, How high will the castle rise to?
Our current altitude is 700 meters. We are rising by 10 meters per second. Well reach the standard altitude of 30,000 meters in 48 minutes.
Thirty thousand meters? Crap, people are going to die!
Humans will only fail to adapt after reaching an altitude of 80,000 meters, Hermione said.
Youre mistaking humans for Superman Chen Yu held his forehead. Stop at 4,000 meters. By the way, is the castles interior sealed off?
Yes. Hermione nodded. Including the central courtyard, most of the castle complex has a closed environment. The buildings are shielded from thunderstorms, lack of oxygen, high temperatures, and ultraviolet rays.
Snap!
Snapping his fingers, Chen Yu said, Rise to 4,000 meters first. Continue rising once were inside the castle. How high can we rise to at most?
We can rise to 300,000 meters above sea level, which is within the thermosphere.
This thing was originally called a space station, right?!
It cant fly that high. With an earnest look, Hermione answered, The standard perigee of a space station is more than three million meters.
Lord Minister of Magic, you should take us into the castle first.
Okay. Hermione smiled and bowed. Please follow me. We will enter the castle through the lake.
There are more than 2,000 people here. Pointing at the two small wooden boats resting on the Black Lakes shore, Chen Yu said, How many people can those two boats possibly fit?
However, Hermione did not give an answer. Instead, she walked straight across the station and arrived beside the lake. She then whistled loudly.
Swish!
The next moment, the giant squid emerged from the lake and stretched out two thick and hideous tentacles to the shore.
Turning around, Hermione looked at Chen Yu and revealed a bright smile, You can step on its back and tentacles. It can carry at least 200 people per trip.
Three minutes later, Chen Yu and the bullet comment group participants stepped onto the squids back and moved toward the castle.
As for the donation groups and higher education groups participants, they had to line up and wait for their turn by the shore.
Initially, Chen Yu couldve just flown across the Black Lake. However, to allow the livestream rooms audience to enjoy a more immersive experience, he decided to follow the main force.
This lake is the Black Lake that Harry Potter passed through when he first entered Hogwarts. Directing the camera forward, Chen Yu said, You can see the boathouse in front. If you follow the long walkway, youll arrive at the castles entrance courtyard. The degree of restoration is really high. I cant believe everything around us was made out of building blocks
The squid swam very quickly. After Chen Yus narration continued for a few minutes, the squid had already arrived at the boathouse on the other end of the lake.
Under Hermiones lead, the group walked across the walkway and arrived inside a spacious courtyard.
The courtyard was rectangular in shape, with evenly distributed load-bearing columns supporting the ceiling on all four sides. Only the center part of the courtyard was exposed to the sky.
The medieval-styled architecture dazzled the bullet comment groups participants.
I assembled this pillar! Quick! Help me take a photo!
Bullshit! Our group only assembled the foundation!
This is too spectacular
While standing on an elevated platform, Hermione pointed her finger at the sky and said, From here onwards, the environment will be isolated from the outside world. The top of this courtyard is sealed as well. Its just transparent.
Continue leading us inside, Chen Yu urged. The courtyard can hold only 300 people. Theres going to be a traffic jam here once the next group arrives.
Okay.
Hermione nodded. She then led everyone into the auditorium, passed through the moving stairs, courtyard buildings, central bridge, and headed straight to the Astronomy Tower.
[Isnt this thing basically a real castle?!]
[A toy from the future can become top real estate in modern times.]
[Aside from having no internet, its basically the perfect place to live in.]
[UP, wont you consider turning it into a hotel?]
[Get straight to the point. How much will it cost per night to live on the island?]
While standing by a window in the Astronomy Tower, Chen Yu gazed at the last batch of university students boarding the giant squid. He asked, How high are we from the ground now?
Weve reached the 4,000-meter altitude you designated.
Can you control those Auror mages?
The Auror mages are lower-level artificial intelligence under my control.
Good. Have them prevent anyone from leaving the enclosed area and ensure everyones safety. Now, continue rising to 100,000 meters!
Okay. Hermione nodded. The castle has resumed its elevation.
I recall the instructions saying that the castle is capable of quick movement as well, right?
Yes. Which direction do you want to move in?
Of course, its Pointing to the east, Chen Yu said, China.
The Pacific Ocean is in the east, Hermione calmly said.
Oh, to the west, then
Chapter 228 - Rush to the Sky! (3)
Chapter 228 C Rush to the Sky! (3)
Wonderful!
This is wonderful!
Inside Japans Special Events Research Institute, the institutes director walked about excitedly while chattering nonstop to his assistant, Although Transdimensional Reviews Sky City has created a lot of garbage and trouble for us this time, it is a great blessing for us to obtain the castle!
Director, I dont quite understand. Puzzled, the male assistant asked, Just like that Type-K Beast Armor, even if the castle remains in our country, we will still have to share it with the various countries for research. Moreover, the three-kilometer-long delivery box has occupied a lot of arable land and space. It wont be easy to take care of it. Moreover, weve already secured samples of the castle for research. How can this be considered a blessing?
Youre still too young. You need to consider things from multiple perspectives. Putting his hands behind his hand, the director proudly said, Firstly, we are the closest to the floating castle. Needless to say, this will greatly lower our research costs.
Secondly, unlike the beast armor, the floating castle is in the air. Transporting equipment and supplies onto it will be a troublesome task. While our country can deliver our supplies using large transport planes, the other countries dont have such a convenience. With the airspace restriction in place, unless we remove the restriction, they will have to rent our transport planes to deliver their own supplies.
I see! Realization dawned on the assistant.
Whether it is opening up the airspace or renting out transport planes, either option will bring a lot of economic and political benefits to our country, the director said, sneering. He then continued, Thirdly, as Transdimensionals review products become more advanced, it wouldnt be long before the channels fame spreads across the entire globe! With the floating castles uniqueness, it will definitely stimulate the development of the local tourism and cultural industries! It might even become a signature for Japan!
Yes! Thats it! The assistant threw his fists into the air vigorously.
Hehe. Fourthly, as Transdimensionals UP reviews more advanced products, he wouldnt pay much attention to the floating castle. In that case, while the castles ownership would still be in the other partys hands, in reality, the rights we have over the castle will also
Director! The floating castle is flying away!
Just as the director was speaking energetically, a female assistant who was keeping watch over the big screen suddenly snapped out of her daze and interrupted the directors speech.
In response to the interruption, the director grew extremely annoyed and berated, Youre not even using honorifics anymore?!
I-Im sorry. The female assistant was so scared that she hurriedly got up and bowed.
Wait a minute. Snapping out of his daze, the old director stared at the female assistant and asked, W-What did you say flew away?
T-The castle flew away
Where is it flying to?! The director immediately turned to look at the big screen, his voice becoming sharp and stern.
Its flying to China
Inside Hogwarts, the 2,495 participants wandered about enthusiastically as they toured the floating castle they built themselves.
However, most of the participants had gathered in the Astronomy Tower and the Central Tower, the two highest points on the castle.
The islands current altitude had already exceeded 8,000 meters, plunging into a sea of clouds.
The clouds gathered, rolled, intersected, and separated. Some of the clouds looked like mountains, some looked like Buddha, some looked like tidal waves, and some looked like bumpy sand dunes. They looked hazy and indistinct. When these clouds merged with the floating castle, the sight of paradise was created, and everyone couldnt help but be mesmerized by this view.
This was a beauty they would never get to experience while riding inside an airplane.
If we can head to the tropics and find some thunderclouds or typhoons to travel through, the sight will definitely be even more spectacular, Chen Yu said to the camera. Shrugging, Unfortunately, the floating castles flying speed is too slow. We dont have too much time to spare.
After saying so, Chen Yu circled around the people taking pictures in the Astronomy Tower and traveled to the other locations in Hogwarts with the camera. He made sure to visit famous places such as the Clock Tower, the Dark Tower, the library, the central courtyard, the headmasters office
The Hogwarts depicted in the movies and original novels didnt seem very large, but in fact, it was a vast castle complex.
Chen Yu had spent over two hours just briefly touring around the castle complex.
At this time, the floating island had also finally flown up to an altitude of 100,000 meters!
One hundred kilometers.
This was where the thermosphere was located.
The island had transcended the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere.
If the island ascended any further, it would arrive at the exosphere, which was no different than outer space.
Walking out of the headmasters office, Chen Yu made his way to the eastern gate, taking a few group photos with his fans along the way.
When Chen Yu arrived before the tightly shut stone gate, he was greeted by an Auror mage who wore an indifferent expression.
Lord Headmaster, the environment outside the enclosed area is currently extreme. I do not recommend that you go out.
I refuse your recommendation.
Fully displaying the arrogance of someone in authority, Chen Yu pushed open the stone gate and stepped through it.
He had visited even Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter before. With the protective suits protection, there was almost nowhere on Earth he couldnt visit.
Upon exiting the castle complex, the first thing Chen Yu felt was the change in gravity. Immediately afterward, he saw a cyan aurora fluttering in the black sky. It looked as if it were the ribbon of a dancing fairy, and it looked both brilliant and mesmerizing.
The aurora found outside the two poles is truly amazing. However, what amazes me even more is the surrounding temperature.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu pointed at his own helmet and said, According to the data the suit provided me, the surrounding temperature has reached 572C. This might be due to the thermosphere absorbing a large amount of ultraviolet light, causing its temperature to soar.
[And here I thought it would get colder the further away we get from Earth]
[Ditto.]
[Ahahaha! Im in Dalian! I can see the island! Awesome!]
[Why cant I see it?]
[You can see it with a high-powered telescope! Although its far away, the castle is simply too big to miss.]
[I see it as well. Im using an astronomical telescope.]
[The island can pretend to be a UFO visiting Earth. ( ????)]
[This thing isnt durable, right? A missile should be able to blast it down easily.]
[And who in this entire world would dare blast it down?]
[The host is incredible]
Despite the high temperature, the building blocks integrity remains fine. Bending down, Chen Yu picked up a simulated stick and showed it to the camera. If we assume the materials used to produce the vacuum maglev train and protective suit are still within our range of understanding, then this material from the 32nd century is beyond our imagination.
Tossing the wooden stick away, Chen Yu looked at the camera and crossed his fingers. Todays livestream will now come to an end. As to how this floating castle will be used, where it will be parked, and whether it will be used for research or tourism, I will privately discuss this with the various countries governments. Personally, I do not wish to speak about things that have nothing to do with reviewing on the livestream. Before I end the stream, though, I would like to say a few things.
Firstly, I would like to thank the Lego Company for providing us with this product. I hope to see your company producing even more exciting toy building blocks two thousand years, three thousand years, and four thousand years into the future.
Secondly, I would like to thank the livestream rooms 13 million viewers for always waiting before your screens. You are Transdimensional Reviews driving force.
The development of humanitys science and technology is truly fast. It is so fast that even we, the ones living in it, cannot keep up with it. Needless to say, it is even more difficult for us to keep up with the technology from a millennium later.
Maybe, as Transdimensional Reviews program continues, more and more technologies that surpass modern human imagination would appear, making us unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. However, Ive also mentioned in the past that this is the purpose of reviews.
Activating the plasma engine and flying to the Astronomy Towers top, Chen Yu said, Take this episodes Super Floating Castle for example. While it doesnt seem to have much practical value, and is, after all, a toy, the meaning it holds is very profound.
Looking up at the deep, dark space, Chen Yu murmured, That is, to never be limited by reason and knowledge. The changes and development that would happen in the future are far more exaggerated than even the wildest imagination of modern humans.
Even a childrens toy can be fascinating
After saying so, Chen Yu did a two-finger salute and said loudly, Then, todays review ends here.
Let us meet again in next months official review!
Chapter 229 - A Bold Idea Regarding the Floating Castle
Chapter 229 C A Bold Idea Regarding the Floating Castle
After closing the livestream rooms, Chen Yu stretched his waist and sat at the Astronomy Towers top. He then lost himself in his thoughts.
Honestly, he had ended todays official livestream a little bit hastily. However, seeing that he had already gone through the product introduction, assembly, and lift-off, he could be considered to have conducted a thorough evaluation of the products performance.
Moreover, he had something more important to deal with right nowthe Super Floating Castles allocation.
When he first saw the castles beautiful scenery, he had thought of using the castle as his private vacation villa.
However, after touring around the castle complex, he found that this island was simply too large. He wouldnt even be able to make use of 0.01% of the castles available space. He would be wasting precious resources.
Yet, turning the castle into a tourist spot wouldnt serve any significant meaning beyond stimulating the economy.
Not to mention, he was still hiding his identity. Even if he turned the castle into a tourist spot, he couldnt collect any entrance fees. He would only be doing the Ministry of Tourism a big favor.
Hence, after careful consideration, Chen Yu thought of a bold idea
Hmm After pondering for some time, Chen Yu reviewed all the steps of his plan and made sure that there were no major flaws. He then snapped his fingers and said, Hermione?
Im here.
Tens of thousands of light particles emerged from the towers rooftop and transformed into Hermiones slender figure. Lord Headmaster, your orders?
Wheres the floating castle at now?
We are above the sky of Chinas Dalian City, Hermione answered, smiling. Should we continue moving west?
No. Checking the world map through his helmet, Chen Yu pointed to the southeast and said, Fly back!
Hermione: ???
Yes. Chen Yu nodded. Fly back! Fly over Japan and stop at the Pacific Oceans equatorial region.
Hermione:
Dont look at me like that. Confidently, Chen Yu said, I always decide things on a fly. Lower the altitude to around 5,000 meters once we reach the equator.
Hermione:
Oh, right. Which place inside the castle complex has the largest area?
The central courtyard.
Have the Auror mages instruct everyone to gather in the central courtyard. I have an announcement to make.
Yes, sir. Hermione nodded. With a wave of her staff, she transformed into particles of light and disappeared once more.
Following this, Chen Yu stood up and gave one last look at the continent underneath the island. He then jumped off the Astronomy Tower and returned to the castle through the main entrance.
Twenty minutes later, the 2,494 people inside the enclosed area gathered in the castles central courtyard, waiting for Chen Yus arrival.
As for Little Peach, she was absent from the crowd as she was immersed in having fun in the Quidditch stadium.
Clack, clack
Accompanied by a series of footsteps, Chen Yu, who was wearing a mage robe, arrived at the central courtyard with Hermione and the nine Auror mages following behind him. They walked up to the makeshift podium under the gaze of more than 2,000 people in an imposing manner.
The nine Auror mages stood at the corners of the podium, protecting Chen Yu from all angles. As for Hermione, she stood behind Chen Yu, setting off his brilliant and dignified image.
Cough, cough.
After clearing his throat, Chen Yu scanned the crowd before him, enjoying the pleasure of receiving the gazes of thousands of people and being in a high-ranking position.
He finally understood why school leaders loved to frequently convene students in the field
Everyone
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu subconsciously imitated the speech of leaders he often saw on TV. However, as soon as he recalled what he was going to say, he felt that he would only make himself look stupid on this occasion. He then decisively switched back to his usual tone and said, After a whole morning of hard work, the HogwartsSuper Floating Castle has finally been assembled and successfully lifted off. I want to solemnly thank you all for your help.
After saying so, Chen Yu bowed to everyone present.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Immediately, a thunderous applause rang out.
Regardless of their country of origin, everyone present was already familiar with applauding in such situations.
Thank you.
Straightening his back, Chen Yu solemnly said, While it saddens me, but there is no banquet that lasts forever. I will open the portal in the courtyard in a moment. Everyone can safely return home at that time.
As soon as Chen Yu said so, everyones mood visibly sank.
This was a magical castle that only existed in dreams and movies. They naturally hadnt had their fill of touring it.
Before you return, I have an announcement to make.
After saying so, Chen Yu paused slightly and waited for everyone to focus their attention on him. He then raised a finger and said, In one week, I will hold a distribution meeting on the floating castle. Interested governments can send their representatives to wait in the plaza of the United Nations headquarters. Every country is allowed to send a maximum of three representatives.
Retracting his finger, Chen Yu scanned the crowd once more and continued, I know you will relay this message to the right people. Thats it for my announcement. Please dont wander around and wait in the courtyard for the portal to open.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone for your help today.
Let us meet again if fate allows it.
Director! Good news! Good news!
Inside Japans Special Events Research Institute, the institute directors male assistant ran into the directors office. His face flushed with excitement, the assistant shouted, Great news!
Wearily opening his eyes, the old director dully asked, What good news could there possibly be?
Transdimensionals UP turned the floating castle around!
What?
Hearing this, the old director fell into a daze for a few seconds. Afterward, he snapped out of his stupor and widened eyes. Really?
Really! The male assistant nodded frantically. He then took out his tablet and pulled up the floating castles flight route. Look, director! The floating castle has already passed through Korea and is en route to our country!
Bang!
The old director slammed his palms onto the table and stood up. He then started pacing around his office excitedly while mumbling, Wonderful! This is wonderful!
Yes! The male assistant nodded as he clenched his fists. Should I inform the higher-ups of this news now?
Of course! This news must be delivered immediately! The old director nodded. I knew it! I knew Transdimensionals UP has a sense of justice. Since he has conducted his review here and caused us a lot of trouble, it is only right for him to leave the product here.
Thats right! Director, you really know everything!
Thats a bit of an exaggeration. Sitting back onto his seat, the director took a sip of water excitedly before saying, I have only conducted an objective analysis of Transdimensionals UPs past behavior.
Ill notify the higher-ups now.
Go. The old director waved his hand. However, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly said, Get me a helicopter. I will hurry to the Echigo Plain to take charge of the scene. Ill also personally express gratitude to Transdimensionals UP.
Yes, sir!
After seeing his assistant disappearing from his office, the old director could no longer suppress the excitement within him. Rubbing his palms together, he mumbled, Wonderful. This is truly wonderful
By the time the old director had arrived at the Echigo Plain in a military helicopter, the floating castle just so happened to have arrived above the plain.
Jumping out of the helicopter, the director raised the high-powered binoculars he held and looked at the floating castle in the sky.
Whoosh
At this time, the silhouette of a person fell from the sky. There was even a tail of blue flames spraying out of this persons back.
Its Transdimensionals UP!
The old directors eyes immediately glowed with excitement. Hurriedly, he got onto a military vehicle and shouted, Quick! He must want to meet the person in charge here!
Two minutes later, the military vehicle stopped.
The old director staggered out of the car. Seeing that Chen Yu was currently fiddling with the Interstellar Portal, the director strode forward decisively and executed a 90-degree bow, ,꤬Ȥޤ! (Thank you very, very much!)
Chen Yu: ???
Chapter 230 - Live in Luxury
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 230 C Live in Luxury
What did you say? Chen Yu asked.
The old director remained bowing and spoke in Chinese, Thank you very much!
Huh? Chen Yu couldnt help but be puzzled by the directors words.
Thank you for placing your trust in us! The director straightened his back, and solemnly approached Chen Yu. Our stance toward you remains the same! It is an honor for you to evaluate your advanced technology here!
Ill feel embarrassed if you behave so politely Chen Yu said awkwardly.
We have always been filled with curiosity and respect toward technology from the future. So long as you are willing, Japans lands will always be open for you!
Thank you. Feeling moved, Chen Yu hurriedly shook hands with the other party.
Refusing to let go of Chen Yus hand, the old director continued, Weve also heard of the announcement you made inside the castle. You plan to hold a distribution meeting on the castle in a week, correct?
Yes. You guys are well-informed. I recall that there were no Japanese officials among the event participants, right?
Ha! His smile unchanged, the old director said, It was an ally. An ally told us of it. Esteemed Mr. King, Japans representative will punctually attend the meeting next week. We will also unconditionally support all of your suggestions.
Okay. Retracting his hands, Chen Yu patted the old director on the shoulders and said, Thank you for your countrys support. I definitely will not forget your share of the benefits.
After saying so, Chen Yu established a spatial link and stepped through the portal. Ill be taking my leave, then.
Mr. King, you can freely park the floating castle wherever you want. We dont have any conditions, the old director said before bowing again.
Huh? Oh. Thanks.
Chen Yu failed to properly understand the directors words, but he also couldnt be bothered to ask for an explanation. After waving his hand, he disconnected the spatial link.
Several seconds later, the metal arch disappeared as well.
The old director then straightened his back and pulled out his high-powered binoculars. As he observed the island in the sky, he mumbled, It really is the countrys great fortune
Huh? Hes still moving forward? But he can already land it here
Five minutes later.
Why is he flying so far away? Is he planning on landing on a mountain? Mr. King really is considerate. He actually knew to avoid blocking the sunlight from reaching the plain
Ten minutes later.
Is he planning on landing on our territorial sea? The old director began growing nervous. Although transportation will become slightly inconvenient, it might still be a good choice
Thirty minutes later.
Wheres the island
After sending the interactive event participants back to their respective addresses, Chen Yu disconnected the spatial link and laid on the ground. He then removed his protective suits helmet and closed his eyes for a short break.
Hermione?
Im here. A swarm of light particles emerged from the nearby ground, and they converged to form Hermiones body. Lord Headmaster, what are your orders?
Are there any drinks? Give me a cup.
Im sorry. Shaking her head, Hermione said, There are no foods and drinks on the floating castle.
Are the fruits in the Forbidden Forest fake?
Yes. Even the liquids on the castle are simulated by liquid-type nanoworms.
Sitting up, Chen Yu turned to look at Hermione and asked, What if we put real soil on the island? Can we grow plants then?
That is possible, but the heavier the floating castle becomes, the lower the height it can rise to.
It doesnt matter even if the altitude is lowered. Its fine so long as it can stay a few thousand meters in the air. By the way, wheres Little Peach?
She is currently playing at the Quidditch stadium.
She mustve gone crazy from playing. Call her back to me.
Yes, sir.
Hermione nodded and disappeared with a wave of her staff.
Putting on his helmet again, Chen Yu stood up and connected the Interstellar Portal to the island-building ships hall.
Now that he had the more spacious, scenic, and comfortable floating castle, he decided to move all of his belongings on the ship to the castle. He planned to have the floating castle become his future base of operations.
With the help of Hermione, Little Peach, and the nine Auror mages, Chen Yu moved all of his review products into the tower housing the headmasters office. For example, the Spiral Ascending Aircraft, the Eager Squid Girl, the protective suits maintenance pod, and Little Peachs slumber pod.
He then sealed off the staircase leading into the tower, isolating the building from the rest of the castle.
With this, even if he allowed others onto the castle into the future, nobody would be able to enter his personal tower.
Pat, pat!
After patting off the dust on his palms, Chen Yu walked into the protective suits maintenance pod and removed the suit. He then changed into a set of casual clothes and asked Hermione, What would happen if this castle gets struck by a missile?
It will be damaged.
Is it that fragile?
The Super Floating Castle is a building block toy. It cannot be used for military purposes.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu realized something and pulled out his phone. He then played a video showing the explosion of a nuclear weapon and said, Im talking about this kind of missile, not the high-tech missiles of the 32nd century.
After earnestly watching the video for a moment, Hermione answered, If an elementary nuclear weapon like that explodes within close proximity of the castle, the temperature of the explosion will damage the building blocks. If the nuclear weapon is detonated at a distance, the castle wont suffer any significant damage, but it will be moved by the shockwave.
If missiles are launched at the castle, will the castle be able to detect them preemptively?
No.
Alright, then.
Chen Yu felt slightly disappointed.
Initially, he thought that even a toy of the 32nd century could become an impenetrable fortress in modern times. Looking at it now, it would seem that he had been asking for too much.
This castle really is amazing. Its simply perfect.
After touring his personal tower a few times, Chen Yus satisfaction reached its maximum.
The tower was spacious, well-isolated, and beautifully decorated.
The walls, oil paintings, tables, chairs, and bookshelveseverything gave off a strong cultural aura. He couldnt find any flaws with the tower at all.
Except for the lack of internet connection
If theres nothing else, well be taking our leave first. I might come back at night to sleep here. After arriving in the hall at the top of the moving staircase, Chen Yu changed the Interstellar Portals appearance into an ordinary wooden door and connected the portal with his own bedroom. He then turned to Hermione and instructed, Look after the castle. Dont allow any aircraft to approach it. If any paratroopers try to land, capture them.
Very well.
This is for you. Handing over the High-frequency Lightsaber to Hermione, Chen Yu said, You can fight back if you come under attack. Before my distribution meeting, nobody is allowed to board the island.
Yes, sir. Hermione calmly nodded and accepted the lightsaber. Lord Headmaster, please rest assured. Without the owners permission, nobody else is allowed to approach the toy under normal circumstances.
Stop calling this place a toy from now on. Refer to it as a castle, Chen Yu corrected.
Castle
Click.
Chen Yu opened the wooden door and revealed the inside of his bedroom. He then waved his hand at Hermione and the nine Auror mages before dragging the reluctant Little Peach back home.
Mr. Chen, have you visited the Quidditch stadium? Its a lot of fun!
Youve played for the entire day. Its about time you get back to coding.
After sending Little Peach away, Chen Yu sat on his bed and eagerly swiped his finger across his watch.
When he entered the Profile page and saw its contents, he immediately broke into a smile.
[Points: 1,679.]
Over 1,600 points, huh I can live in luxury now
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu suppressed his excitement and shut his eyes. He then muttered to himself, Calm your brain Dont think about nonsensical thoughts Advanced technology! Advanced technology! I only want advanced technology!
After hypnotizing himself for three minutes, Chen Yu opened his eyes. While his mind was still filled with smart ideas, he hurriedly tapped into the Transdimensional Stores page!
After a one-second pause, five products were immediately lined up on the screen
However, when Che Yu saw the first item, he couldnt help but smack his forehead in agony. This is a scam!!
Chapter 231 - Double Scam
Chapter 231 C Double Scam
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products]
[1. Feces Control Toilet 2.0: Produced by the Geek Alliance in 2106. The integrated quantum chip and encoded data on the efficient use of subatomic particles give the toilet nonlinear independent thinking. The toilet can accurately control the power and direction of the liquid in the tank, ensuring that 100% of the feces will retain its original shape and not be washed away. This product fully reflects the extreme micro-manipulation ability of geeks on data and calculation.
The new 2.0 version has been further perfected using the data collected from the 1.0 versions customers. Compared to the 1.0 version, additional flushing solutions such as feces geyser, feces crusher and geyser, and feces shape modifier have been added to the 2.0 version. These functions thoroughly exert the integrated quantum chips computing power. The selling price is 454 points.]
Upon seeing the first product, Chen Yu felt that even his watchs screen was shaking slightly.
Bam!
Grabbing his pillow and slamming it to the ground, Chen Yu bellowed, This is a scam!!
Mr. Chen, what happened? Little Peach, who sat before the study table, hurriedly turned around.
Dont talk to me! Im emotionally unstable right now.
Oh Little Peach shrank back timidly.
After sitting on the bed in silence for some time, Chen Yu bent over and picked up the pillow, placing it back onto the bed. He did his best to calm his mind before browsing the second item on the Transdimensional Store.
[2. Nuclear Fusion Incinerator: Produced by the Bliss Bundi Company in 2376. A necessary piece of equipment for first-class crematoriums. The incinerator has a built-in second-generation miniature controllable nuclear fusion reactor, which efficiently synthesizes the helium element. The generated heat will then be redirected to the corpse inside the incinerator, thoroughly turning the corpse into crystal ashes in 0.2 seconds.

The selling price is 1,220 points.]
Bam!
Immediately, Chen Yu grabbed his pillow and slammed it to the ground once more. He then bellowed, Another scam?!
For a moment, he felt that there was an invisible force targeting him
Standing up, Chen yu walked out of his bedroom and dashed for the bathroom. He planned to wash his brain with some water like last time. However, just as he was about to open the sink faucet, he noticed a figure through the corner of his eyes. Crap!
Chen Sanke:
You scared me! Why didnt you lock the door if youre using the toilet?!
In response, Chen Sanke, who was sitting on the toilet, scratched her head and said, I-Im not using the toilet.
What are you sitting on the toilet for, then?
I cant untie the drawstring on my pants, Chen Sanke said as she lifted up her shirt and pointed at the rope on her trousers. She then blinked and added, It turned into a dead knot.
Chen Yu:
I cant untie it no matter what, Chen Sanke said as she clumsily tried to untie the knot. Its getting tighterand tighter.
How long have you been stuck in here?
I came in after lunch, Chen Sanke said as she raised her head and earnestly pondered.
God, why didnt you ask for help? Chen Yu put his aching head under the faucet and washed it with cold water.
I can still hold it in.
Chen Yu:
Hu
After cooling his cerebral cortex for several minutes, Chen Yu felt that he had completely calmed down. He then approached Chen Sanke, reached out, and grabbed her trousers drawstring.
Were you trying to tie or untie the knot?
Untie.
Pointing at the drawstring that resembled a ball of entangled yarn, Chen Yu said, Is that how Mom teaches you how to untie knots?
Do you think you can untie it? Chen Sanke asked as she pridefully raised her head and placed her hands on her hips.
What are you acting smug for?! Do you think this is something to be proud of?! Chen Yu immediately moved his head forward and bit down hard on the drawstring with his teeth.
Snap!
The drawing snapped on the spot.
Ng Lowering her head, Chen Sanke dazedly touched the mark that the drawing left behind on her chubby belly. It broke.
Your bellys going to snap if I didnt break the string.
Picking up a towel and wiping off his hair, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Get Mom to buy you a new drawstring. With how you entangled it, untying it is impossible.
Mhm. Chen Sanke nodded. She then hopped off the toilet and wobbled her way out of the bathroom.
Get back here, Chen Yu said as he dragged his little sister back to him.
Ng? Chen Sanke put on a puzzled look?
Werent you trying to use the toilet?
Oh! Chen Sanke clapped her hands in realization. Hurriedly, she took off her trousers and sat on the toilet. She then stared at Chen Yu and said, Mommy said I shouldnt let other people use the toilet with me.
Shouldnt you at least give me time to go out?
Bang!
After closing the bathroom door, Chen Yu massaged his face and returned to his room.
Sitting on the bed, he calmed his emotions and browsed the Transdimensional Stores third product.
[3. 5-TCV Injection: Produced by the Pain Endurance Pharmaceutical Company in 2276. A drug developed based on the unihemispheric slow-wave sleep mode of bottlenose dolphins. Upon injection, the 5-TCV drug will cause the users left and right brains to sleep in turns, maintaining the brains working efficiency for 244 hours. However, long-term use can cause irreversible damage to the brain. It is recommended to only use the drug again one month after its efficacy disappears. The selling price is 252 points.]
Finally, something normal
Chen Yu nearly burst into tears of joy. Immediately, he tapped on the screen and purchased one unit of the 5-TCV Injection. He could certainly use this item for his future plans.
[270 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 1,409]
Only death and taxes are unavoidable in this world
Subsequently, a small space-time wormhole appeared and dropped a white delivery box in his room.
After looking at the gigantic delivery box from this morning, Chen Yu actually felt a little strange looking at this pocket-sized box.
Mr. Chen, here you go!
Little Peach attentively picked up the box and handed it to Chen Yu.
Good girl. Set it aside. I wont be using it for the time being. And get back to coding.
Yes, sir!
Laying flat on his bed, Chen Yu continued browsing the Transdimensional Store.
According to his experience, once the first normal product appeared, the following products offered would also be normal.
[4. Linrui Security Camouflage Robot: Produced by the Linrui Technology Company in 2219. Comes in a set of four. The robots are driven by weak artificial intelligence software, and they can accurately complete their designated tasks. They have a certain degree of linear thinking ability. They are equipped with a pulse stun gun, and they can conceal themselves through optical camouflage. The set comes with a free charging cable for DG sockets and a transformer ball. The robots can also be charged slowly using solar energy. The selling price is 220 points.]
This is good!
Chen Yu moved the screen closer to himself and earnestly re-read the product introduction. He then decisively clicked on the purchase option. The brainwave recognition function is finally doing its job
[223 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 1,175]
As this line of text flashed by, another wormhole appeared in the room.
Just as Little Peach was about to get out of her seat, she noticed the stern look Chen Yu was giving her. Immediately, she obediently returned her focus to her laptop.
Boom!
The next moment, a two-and-a-half-meter-long delivery box fell heavily, smashing a big hole into the floor.
Chen Yu:
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu turned to look at Little Peach and asked, Why didnt you go pick it up this time?
D-Didnt you tell me not to move with your eyes
I was telling you to move quickly!
Oh! Ill move now
Its too late! Dont move. The box already came out.
Chapter 232 - A Godly Tool?
Chapter 232 C A Godly Tool?
Little Wu, are the test results out?
Over at the United Nations headquarters, the middle-aged team leader hurriedly entered a special black car together with Big Sis Wu. They then made their way toward the Chinese Embassy.
He had some matters to take care of at the embassy first. After handling these matters, he could fly back to Beijing and lead the special situation teams operations.
Not yet, but we already have the preliminary observation report. After sliding her finger across her tablet a few times, Big Sis Wu passed the tablet over and said, Here you go, leader.
Mhm. The middle-aged team leader took the tablet and carefully read the information displayed on it. Frowning, he asked, All the stone samples they collected turned into silver powder after they left the castle?
Yes. According to the field team, the samples collected by the other governments also turned into powder after leaving the castle, Big Sis Wu nodded. After our experts analyzed this powder, they think that this might be the so-called liquid nanoworms. Once they leave the magnetic field generated by the building blocks, they would return to their original state.
Are they considered dead?
We still arent sure for the moment.
Reserve some of the powder and bring it onto the castle next week. See if it can be restored.
Yes, sir.
Have they observed the nanoworms with a microscope yet?
They did. Stretching out her hand, Big Sis Wu tapped her finger on the tablet a few times and called up a picture. Its this.
Hexagons? The middle-aged team leader frowned.
Yes. Big Sis Wu nodded once more. They form a perfect hexagonal crystal system. There is a six-fold inverted axis in the direction of the C axis. After a detailed measurement, the unit cell parameters are a=bc, a==90, and y=120.
This is a shape thats very easy to change and combine.
Yes. According to the preliminary analysis of several expert teams, this discovery will lead to a major breakthrough in the field of nanorobots, giving us a new direction of thinking. In the past, we were too focused on the individual and ignored composability.
After pondering for a while, the middle-aged team leader turned off the tablet and put on a stern expression. Thats enough for the analysis. Once the test result comes out, send 99% of the samples back to Beijing in four separate batches. The higher-ups will deal with the distribution of the samples. Leave just 1% of the samples for ourselves.
Yes, sir.
Mobilize all satellites currently available to our team and closely observe the floating castles movements.
Yes, sir!
At the same time, inside Chen Yus home in Jinzhou City
Brother! What was that noise? Chen Yikes voice came from outside Chen Yus bedroom. Did you tear down a wall?
I fell off the bed.
Even the ceiling falling sounds more believable.
Do you still want your pocket money or not? Get lost!
Fine!
After hearing Chen Yikes footsteps growing distant, Chen Yu hopped off his bed and circled around the delivery box. He then removed the boxs seal.
Inside the box were four robots standing side by side. The robots had a rounded exterior. They did not possess a head or legs. They only had a pair of cylindrical arms, which resembled the arms of Baymax.
They should need authority registration as well, right?
Chen Yu pulled out the card-shaped instruction manual from the box and activated it with his thumb. Immediately, a blue virtual projection appeared before him.
After reviewing so many future technologies, he already possessed a certain degree of understanding regarding the software operation methods of each eras technologies.
There were a lot of instructions for the security camouflage robots. Even after skipping the parameters, fine-tuning, and maintenance sections, he still took half an hour to learn the robots basic control methods.
Storing the card manual away, Chen Yu looked toward Little Peach and hooked his finger at her, Come here.
Do you need me to move now?
Yes. Pick these four robots out of the box.
Immediately, Little Peach approached the delivery box and rubbed her palms on her skirt. She then swiftly moved the four robots out of the box.
As for Chen Yu, he activated the robots one after another and completed the iris registration.
Arent they called security robots? Visually inspecting the four robots, Little Peach commented, They dont feel very sturdy.
They fight using weapons, not hand-to-hand combat.
Pulling out the card manual, Chen Yu fiddled around with it for a moment before using it to take a picture of Little Peach. He then clicked Confirm on the virtual projection.
Swish!
Swish! Swish!
The light around the four robots distorted, and they instantly took on Little Peachs appearance.
Wow! Little Peach was taken aback. They can transform?
Its just an optical camouflage. Seems like its quite effective.
After completing his experiment, Chen Yu turned the robot back to its original form. He then teleported to the hall of his personal tower on the floating castle. Shouting, Hermione!
Im here.
Hermione immediately appeared in the hall.
This is for you, Chen Yu said as he handed over the card in his hand. He then turned around and pointed at the four security camouflage robots following behind him, saying, Alter them into the Auror mages appearance and have them patrol outside the castle complex. Youll find the details for them on the card.
Okay, Lord Headmaster. Hermione bowed after accepting the card. Five minutes after you left, two antique jets have constantly been following after the floating castle.
Are they fighter jets?
Theyre military jets.
Which nations flag were they carrying?
Korea.
Oh After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand at Hermione and said, Follow me.
Walking up the spiral staircase of the Headmasters Tower, Chen Yu led Hermione to the study of a small library. He then stopped in front of a painting, reached out to the bookshelf beside the painting, and pulled on a thick book placed on the second row.
Click.
The crisp sound of a switch being toggled appeared. Immediately, the painting on the wall moved, revealing a spacious room behind it.
The items currently stored inside the room were none other than the high-tech products he had moved over from the island-building ship.
This was also the reason why he chose to move his base to the floating castle.
There was so much space in the castle that even if he kept five harems for himself, the members of his harem were unlikely to even come across each other
After entering the secret room, Chen Yu picked up the Weather Control Module and handed it to Hermione. Use this thing to generate a storm and blow away those two afterward.
Okay.
Once the castle reaches its destination, you can also generate a heavy fog to hide the castles true location.
Okay. Hermione nodded.
Closing the secret room, Chen Yu walked down the staircase, returned to his room, and closed the Interstellar Portal.
How convenient!
Sighing, Chen Yu raised his watch and continued browsing the last item on the Transdimensional Store.
[5. Fighting Pillow (500 units): Produced by the Master Kong Technologies Company in 2397. This is a product designated for the Global Happy Festival on November 11. The pillow contains dopamine vapors. When a human is struck by this pillow, they will absorb the dopamine vapors through the lungs, which would generate a strong sense of pleasure. And under the guidance of the pillows occipital brain wave generator, the struck target would reflexively pick up another pillow and launch a counterattack.
When a human has their head struck by this pillow numerous times, they will fall into a protective syncope and start digesting the microbial bacteria absorbed by their lungs. This process will enhance the human bodys physiological functions and relieve nerve pressure. This process will not cause any harm to the human body. The selling price is 430 points.]
What?! Chen Yus eyes widened in shock. How did future people come up with such a magical item?
As soon as Chen Yu saw the products description, he immediately knew the content for his next interactive livestream.
If handled properly, the livestreams performance would definitely skyrocket!
Enhancing human physiological functions
After attentively reading the introduction once more, Chen Yu focused his gaze on the words enhance the human bodys physiological functions and fell into deep thought.
A product that enhances the human body and originates from the end of the 24th century Referencing the strength of humans in the 22nd century
If converted to the 21st century
Crap!
Chapter 233 - Raiding the Zoo
Chapter 233 C Raiding the Zoo
Beijing Zoo, inside Monkey Mountain
A metal arch suddenly appeared out of thin air, frightening the dozens of tourists outside the glass barrier.
Subsequently, Chen Yu, who was wearing a mask and a wizards robe, walked out of the arch with a pillow in hand. He then smashed the pillow onto the head of a monkey that was staring at him in a daze.
Poof!
The monkey fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.
Eek! Eek!
Eek!
Seeing their companion getting attacked, the other monkeys nearby immediately panicked and fled the scene.
A few of the bigger monkeys also picked up fruits and stones to throw at Chen Yu in retaliation.
However, before any of these projectiles could land on Chen Yu, Little Peach promptly struck them down.
Check its condition.
Yes, sir.
Little Peach nodded. The next moment, two red beams of light shot out of her mask, the lights doing a full-body scan of the unconscious monkey.
Whats that?
Is it a show?
Crap! Its Transdimensionals UP! Its Transdimensionals UP!
Quick, quick! Help me take a photo! I want to get a shot with the UP!
Host! Look over here! Look at me!
At this time, the tourists outside the enclosure also started stirring.
However, Chen Yu paid the tourists no heed. Instead, he remained still as he waited for Little Peachs scan results.
Nothings wrong with it.
One minute later, the light coming out of Little Peachs eyes faded. She then turned to Chen Yu and reported, A special substance is currently balancing the bacteria strains inside the monkeys body and slowly improving its physical fitness.
Is that special substance the microbial bacteria mentioned? Will it cause any damage?
It is only adjusting the bacteria strains inside the body, so it shouldnt cause any damage. However, my scan cant find out for deeper chemical changes.
Is that so
Chen Yu fell silent for a moment. He then approached the glass barrier and tapped his finger on it.
Tap, tap, tap.
Ah
Many of the people beyond the barrier were frightened by Chen Yus approach, and they promptly backed away from the glass.
You. Pointing at a bespectacled young woman, Chen Yu said, Help me contact the zookeeper or someone from management.
In response, the young woman clenched her backpack tightly in fright.
UP! Ill help you! At this time, a young man ran up to the barrier and excitedly volunteered himself. He then asked, Can I take a photo with you?
No problem.
Nodding, Chen Yu straightened his back and gestured a V with his fingers.
Thank you! Thank you!
After taking over 10 group photos, the young man was finally satisfied and left to search for the zoos manager.
In the meantime, Chen Yu picked up his pillow and knocked out four more monkeys.
According to the Fight Pillows introduction, the pillow could enhance the human bodys physiological functions. However, as this was a product produced at the end of the 24th century, Chen Yu wasnt sure if 21st-century humans could bear such a significant supplement. Hence, he decided to first experiment with live animals.
After ascertaining that the pillow was harmless to humans, he would then conduct a live review with the product.
A family should be neat and tidy Little Peach mumbled as she arranged the five monkeys in a neat row.
Shortly afterward, a few middle-aged people looking like leaders entered the enclosure together with many staff members and police officers. These people then stopped five meters away from Chen Yu.
A-Are you Transdimensional Reviews host? the man standing in the lead of the group asked tentatively.
Its me. Nodding, Chen Yu went straight to the point and asked, I need these few monkeys. Can I take them away?
N-No problem. The leader nodded without hesitation. We just need to go through some formalities. Can you sign here?
OK.
Under the crowds respectful service, Chen Yu stepped forward and accepted the document offered. He then wrote Wang Chun on the signature section and patted the middle-aged mans shoulders. Thank you.
N-No problem. This is what we should do. The leader was flattered. May I ask what youll be using these monkeys for?
In response, Chen Yu closed his mouth and fell silent for a moment as he tried to sort out the words in his mind.
However, thinking that he had angered Chen Yu, the leader hurriedly bowed and apologized, I-Im sorry! I didnt mean to pry into your business. I just wanted to ask if just five capuchin monkeys will be enough. If not, we still have more.
Huh? Chen Yu was pleasantly surprised by the middle-aged mans words. Really?
Hearing Chen Yus response, the leader immediately started regretting his words. However, the die had already been cast. Biting the bullet, he nodded, R-Really
Thats great! Chen Yu immediately grasped the middle-aged mans hands. Speaking of which, the floating castle is such a big place. It feels quite lonely to leave it empty. It just so happens Im conducting an experiment, so just give me a few more animals.
N-No problem, b-but
Are you going back on your words? Chen Yu said in a heightened tone.
No! The leader vehemently shook his head. I just need to ask my superior for instructions!
Hurry up, then. Ill start choosing first.
O-Okay Gulping, the leader took out his phone with trembling hands and contacted his superior.
Servants of the people are the best!
Chen Yu sighed. Following which, he pointed at a zookeeper and said, Guide me to the other animals. Ill take my pick first.
P-Please follow me.
The zookeeper in question didnt know of Transdimensional Reviews existence, and neither did he recognize Chen Yu. However, when he looked at the huge metal arch and the leaders fearful performance, he naturally knew that Chen Yu was a super bigshot and dared not neglect him.
Under the staff members guidance, Chen Yu and Little Peach headed eastward to the Gorilla House.
This is good. We can put it in the Forbidden Forest and raise it together with the monkeys. Stopping his feet, Chen Yu passed the Fight Pillow to Little Peach and said, Go. Knock out three; one male and two females.
Okay! Little Peach nodded and accepted the pillow. She then eagerly entered the enclosure through the zookeepers door and charged at a group of gorillas. With a quick wave of the pillow, she knocked out three of the apes in the blink of an eye.
They should become as smart as humans if I feed them with the Special Omega-3 Concentrated Lipids, right?
After coming into contact with advanced technology for long periods, Chen Yu had unknowingly obtained the peculiar impulse of scientific researchers
After collecting five capuchin monkeys and three gorillas, Chen Yu continued touring around the zoo and captured four giraffes, four sika deers, five cranes, two dragon turtles, three camels, five baby raccoons, dozens of birds of various species, and two honey badgers.
By the time Chen Yu was done with his selection, the zoos management and many high-level government officials also hurriedly came running toward him and encircled him.
Meanwhile, standing at the outermost part of the encirclement were armed police officers.
These animals are perfect, but I dont know how to raise them. Those mages on the castle dont know how either. So, what I want to ask is, can I borrow some keepers from your zoo?
Hearing this, many of the leaders eyes instantly shined. No problem! Well unconditionally support your decision!
Thank you. Ill pay for their salary.
No, no! No need! Well take care of the wages, food, and accommodation! You dont need to be responsible for anything! Just leave everything to us!
Ill take you up on your offer, then. With a wave of his hand, Chen Yu said, Lets tour around the eastern district again.
T-Theres nothing to see in the eastern district, the leader accompanying Chen Yu said in a panic. Hurriedly, he pointed to the north and said, The animals in the northern district are much cuter. There are elephants, hippos, and rhinos. Theres even an aquarium.
Is that so? Looking northward, Chen Yu said, But I dont want to raise elephants and hippos. Theyre too big. I also heard their farts stink.
But there are many small animals as well! The Eagle Mountain is in the northern district, the leader said tirelessly. Dont you want to keep a few eagles? We have owls as well! They match very well with your castle.
Eagles are okay, I guess Lets go to the northern district, then.
Yes, yes, yes! You first!
Wow! When everyone was about to change direction, Little Peach, who had excellent eyesight, noticed a billboard in the distance. She then exclaimed, Theres a Giant Panda House on the east side!
The leaders:
Pandas?! Chen Yu was surprised.
Chapter 234 - Human Nature
Chapter 234 C Human Nature
The Interstellar Portal silently appeared beside the Forbidden Forest on the floating castle.
Several trailers carrying sleeping animals were then pushed through the portal by numerous workers.
Ill be working here from now on? a female zookeeper muttered as she walked out of the portal and glanced at the Forbidden Forests environment. She then turned to look at the magnificent castle complex nearby, excitement surfacing on her face. Im going to be living in a castle?
Congratulations on being selected, one of the womans colleagues said. You finally get to become a princess, and not the type seen on KTVs.
The female zookeeper:
A prince is living on this castle, the colleague said as she secretly pointed at Chen Yu, whom the many government officials were currently fawning over. I heard hes a sexy uncle. Little girl, make good use of this chance!
At this time, the floating castle had already arrived at the Pacific Oceans equator, and its altitude had been reduced to just 4,000 meters above sea level.
Even so, many of the animals couldnt adapt to the environment at this altitude.
Helpless, Chen Yu had no choice but to lower the castles altitude to 1,000 meters.
For the animals that still couldnt adapt, he had no choice but to keep them within the castle complexs courtyards.
As for the two giant pandas he captured, he arranged for them to stay in the central courtyard, which was the largest courtyard available. The pandas would be cared for by two zookeepers at all times, and Chen Yu also had Hermione regulate the temperature in the central courtyard.
In the end, Chen Yu had busied himself for over half an hour before he completed all the necessary arrangements.
Excluding the several dozen birds, there were a total of 27 animals on the floating island. It wasnt a huge number.
The 10 zookeepers that would care for these animals were also full-time employees of the zoo.
These zookeepers could be considered to be the floating castles first batch of residents.
Aside from these 10 zookeepers, a zoo executive claiming to be in charge of managing the zookeepers also desperately tried to stay behind. The executive claimed that he could help Chen Yu manage his employees. However, Chen Yu had kicked the executive back to Beijing without hesitation.
The amount of food required to feed 10 people and several dozen animals was significant.
To save himself some trouble, Chen Yu had the zoo bring over enough supplies for a month.
As for what would happen a month later By then, his plan wouldve already been implemented, and he would no longer have to worry about the castle residents supplies.
After saying goodbye to the talkative government officials, Chen Yu disconnected the spatial link and led the 10 zookeepers into a classical conference room inside the castle complex.
Taking the seat of honor, Chen Yu straightened his mask and smiled. Firstly, I would like to officially welcome you into the floating castles family. No need for applause. Let me finish speaking first.
Everyone hurriedly lowered their hands.
Among you, there are real zookeepers, and there are those with special status. While I dont care about your actual identities, but since youve joined as a zookeeper, you must do your job. Once youve finished your work, you are free to stroll around the entire island under the premise you dont break anything.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised two fingers. However, there are two places you cannot approach. One, the Headmasters Tower. Two, the library. As for your accommodations, Hermione will arrange dorms for you.
Lastly, lets talk about the animals. Because of an experiment Im conducting, they are currently in an unconscious state. I need you to observe their conditions and take notes.
Thats all I have to say. Everyone, applaud.
Clap, clap, clap
Meeting dismissed!
After waiting for the zookeepers to leave, Chen Yu looked toward Hermione and asked, Do you have knowledge regarding the human body?
Aside from being an assistant robot for the floating castles operations, I also have a parenting module installed, Hermione said, smiling. I am knowledgeable about basic science.
What is the microbial bacteria, then?
It is a special strain of bacteria developed by humans at the end of the 21st century. Its main function is to regulate the balance of bacteria in the human body and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
While saying so, Hermione waved her staff and summoned a series of images in the air. She then explained in detail, This is one of mankinds greatest inventions. Its history can be traced back all the way to 2003. After completing the Human Genome Project, mankind had identified all of the human genomes genes and understood the functions of all human gene fragments.
However, at that time, humans, including academia, had yet to realize the huge role of this plan. It is no exaggeration to say that this plan is the backbone for mankind to build an increasingly prosperous civilization.
Continue. After hearing the secrets of modern and future times, Chen Yus curiosity was immediately aroused.
In 2003, after humans completed the genome project, they found that these genomes couldnt explain all phenomena that occurred in the human body. Hence, they subsequently started up a follow-up project called the Human Microbiome Project.
And after decades of research, mankind finally determined a truth that shocked the world.
Whats the truth?
Humans are actually composed of microorganisms. In a steady tone, Hermione said, Although there was a similar saying in the biological world at the end of the 20th century, this truth remained unconfirmed until the start of the 21st century.
There are 60 trillion cells in the human body, but the number of bacteria present is close to 2,000 trillion. They form a stable symbiotic relationship with the human body, and they control the physique, disease, lifespan, and even habits and thought process of humans.
This How is this possible? Chen Yu was taken aback by this revelation.
For example, some people liked to eat beef, some liked seafood, and some liked sweets. Mankind once thought that this was a result of their own thoughts, but they werent aware that their appetite was actually being controlled by a part of the bacteria in their bodies.
Pointing at a projection of a bacteria strain with her staff, Hermione continued, These bacteria induce various chemical reactions in the intestines, which affect the hosts thinking logic and causing the host to only eat what the bacteria liked and were adapted to. Take humans who prefer to eat beef for example. If these humans eat seafood, there is a high possibility that it would result in the intestinal bacteria to feel uncomfortable. While torturing the host, the bacteria would stimulate biological enzymes and cause the host to become averse to seafood.
Preference for movies, games, sports, gender
Most of these so-called individual behaviors result from the chemical reactions caused by various bacteria strains in the body.
There have been many instances of a persons personality changing after undergoing an organ transplant, and these cases have been proven to be caused by a change in bacteria strains in the body
And this, is only the tip of the iceberg of the influence bacteria possess over the human body. As research into the subject deepened, mankind discovered that the so-called individual is actually a symbiotic body composed of bacteria, viruses, parasites, and a small number of cells.
This discovery led to a subversive revolution of human culture. In medicine alone, after shifting their focus from cells to microorganisms, mankind has successfully overcome many diseases, viruses, and cancers that wouldve been fatal initially.
With the help of various bacteria strains, mankind has also successfully increased their average lifespan past the theoretical limit of a telomere.
Dismissing the projections, Hermione looked at Chen Yu. She concluded, Meanwhile, the microbial bacteria is one of the greatest artificial bacteria strains mankind has invented.
That Excitement flashing across his eyes, Chen Yu asked, When did the Human Microbiome Project you mentioned end?
Led by Americas National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2007, with the participation of China, Japan, Britain, and other countries, the original plan was projected to reach completion in 2025. However, due to a breakthrough made by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the project was able to reach completion four years ahead of time.
In 2021? This year? Chen Yu abruptly stood up.
Yes. In 2019, the academic community recognized the dominance of bacteria in the human body. In 2021, the Human Biome Project was officially completed, and the results began to be slowly applied to human society. In 2035, the first artificial bacteria was successfully developed, and mankind was able to rid themselves of 90% of the diseases that previously plagued them.
So Chen Yu instantly recalled the news he had seen before. The prophecy made by some professionals on the internet stating that people could become healthy with just one vaccine shot
They are referring to the artificial bacteria. Hermione nodded. By relying on the microbial bacteria, they can selectively target internal diseases by balancing the bodys bacteria strains.
I see I see
When he connected this information with the plan he was about to initiate, Chen Yu felt an inexplicable sense of coldness sweeping through his body
Chapter 235 - Daily Life (1)
Chapter 235 C Daily Life (1)
Sunday, night, snow:
Son, your mother has been in a bad mood lately. Im going to take her out to travel and relax.
While walking and holding onto Chen Sankes hand, Chen Yu questioned, So, this is the reason why youre leaving us behind?
The four of you have grown up already. You need to learn how to take care of yourselves, Father Chen answered as he embraced Mother Chen while holding onto an umbrella. Gently caressing his lovers hair, he continued, Well be back in two weeks, so behave at home.
Its almost the New Year, Chen Yike said hesitantly.
Thats why well be back in two weeks. Shaking off the snow on his umbrella onto the Chen familys four young masters, Father Chen said, Little Yu, Ill leave Third Eldest in your care. Both Eldest and Third Eldest have supplementary classes during the weekends, so dont wander outside and play with Third Eldest.
Lowering his head and glancing at Chen Sanke, Chen Yu said, Why dont you just bring Third Eldest with you.
Dont push the trouble onto us.
Chen Yu:
Chen Sanke: ???
After the Chen familys four young masters accompanied their parents to the train station and saw them off, Chen Yu turned to look at his three little sisters and shrugged, saying, They truly love each other, while were just accidents.
Arent there a little too many accidents?! Chen Yike complained.
Lets stop talking about this. Now that Mom and Dad are gone, we should figure out how were going to spend these next two weeks.
Theres just a little over a month before the New Year! Mom and Dad are too immature! Chen Yike complained aggrievedly.
Mom lost money in her investments several times. She mustve suffered a huge mental blow, so try to understand her feelings. Leading Chen Sanke out of the train station, Chen Yu said, Take this as a lesson to not engage in those fancy things.
Brother, Im hungry, Chen Erke said as she tugged on Chen Yus shirt. What are we eating tonight?
Is there any food at home? Chen Yu asked.
Sighing, Chen Yike said, Mom is gone, so wheres the food going to come from?
Lets go to a restaurant, then! Ill treat you guys to a big meal!
Yay! Having been waiting for these words, Chen Erke cheered happily. Big Brother, I want to eat fatty intestines!
Okay.
I want to eat prawns, Chen Sanke said with her hand raised.
Eldest, what do you want to eat?
I cant afford it Lets just go home and cook some noodles.
Your brother is rich now. You can let go of your peasant habits.
Following this, Chen Yu led his three little sisters down the main road and headed north in search of a restaurant. However, shortly after they started on their journey, Chen Sanke suddenly stopped and pointed in a particular direction. Dollies!
Following Chen Sankes finger, Chen Yu found two people dressed in mascot costumes distributing advertising flyers out in the snow.
I want to touch them. Pointing at the mascots, Chen Sanke pleaded, Ill just touch them 20,000 times.
Ill let you touch them twice.
Deal.
Leading Chen Sanke to one of the mascots, Chen Yu accepted a flyer from the mascot and half-heartedly browsed it. Meanwhile, Chen Sanke boldly touched the mascot.
Are you two working for this mobile phone store? Initially, Chen Yu planned to leave once Chen Sanke got her fill of touching the mascot. However, upon seeing the attractive discount stated on the flyer, he suddenly grew interested and asked, Is the gift stated here for real?
Mhm. A dull female voice came from inside the costume.
Eldest, come here, Chen Yu called for Chen Yike. He then asked, How long have you been using your phone for already?
Three years. Whats wrong?
Let me take a look at it.
Brother! Youre not thinking of buying me a phone, right? Chen Yike asked as she glanced at the large store behind the mascot. Mine is still usable.
Stop with the nonsense and give it to me.
After accepting Chen Yikes phone, Chen Yu pressed the power button. The next moment, a frown appeared on his face. Is the battery dead? Why isnt it lighting up?
The response is slow. You have to wait a few seconds after pressing the power button.
Chen Yu:
Three seconds later, the phone screen turned on, then went off again, then turned on again
You pressed too many times, Chen Yike explained.
After a few more seconds passed, the screen finally stopped flickering and stayed on.
However, the moment Chen yu swiped his finger across the screen to unlock the phone, the screen went dark once more.
Itll take another few seconds to enter the main interface, Chen Yike explained.
Do you usually wait like this?
Yes. Chen Yike nodded. After pressing the power button, Ill memorize a word. While unlocking the screen, Ill memorize another word. I can memorize at least four words every time I use the phone.
You really are a talent.
Returning the phone to Chen Yike, Chen Yu decisively walked into the phone store and said, Ill buy you the best one.
Brother! Youre wasting money! New phones are expensive!
Halting his footsteps, Chen Yu turned around and asked, Do you want it or not?
No.
What if I buy it for you no matter what?
Come in and choose the color. After saying so, Chen Yu entered the shop without another word.
Chen Yike fell into a daze as she looked at Chen Yus back.
Big Brother, youre so handsome! Chen Erke said with glittering eyes.
Meanwhile, the mascot, who was being frenziedly harassed by Chen Sanke, also turned to stare at Chen Yu in a daze.
Is it fluffy inside as well?
When Chen Sanke saw that the mascot had stopped resisting, she boldly stretched her hand into the gap around the costumes waist
Ah! Dont come in!
After entering the store, Chen Yu glanced around and picked up the latest flagship phone from Huawei. He then showed it to Chen Yike and asked, What do you think of this?
After glancing at the phones price tag, Chen Yike timidly looked at the salesperson nearby and said, Its ugly.
What about this?
Its ugly too.
This ones not ugly, right? It has a feminine design.
Ugly
Which one do you think is pretty, then?
Well, this one. Seeing that Chen Yu was determined to buy her a new phone, Chen Yike reluctantly pointed at a smartphone priced at 1,999 yuan.
After looking at the phones appearance, Chen Yu looked toward the salesperson and said, Too ugly.
The salesperson: Can you two stop looking at me when youre saying ugly?
Cough This one, then. Chen Yu hurriedly pointed at a Vivo phone sitting on the counter and said, Since you dont care about the phones performance, a Vivo should be suitable for you since it prioritizes camera performance. Yes, lets take this one.
I-Its 6,899!
This one. Tapping on the glass showcase, Chen Yu said to the salesperson, Pack it up. Ill pay for it now.
Okay, sir. Please follow me. The salesperson immediately revealed a dazzling smile. After all, employees of this store received the most commission when selling Vivo and Oppo smartphones.
Brother! Chen Yike quickly grabbed Chen Yus shirt. Its too expensive!
Eldest. After silently pondering for a moment, Chen Yu turned around and put his lips by Chen Yikes ear. He then whispered, Youre my little sister. I didnt have the ability before, but I want to give you the best now.
Immediately, Chen Yikes pupils shrank, and her mind froze
Three minutes later, Chen Yu completed the payment for the smartphone and handed the smartphone box to Chen Yike: Take it.
Big Brother.
Chen Yike bit her lip and held back a sniffle.
Hurry up and take it. Its time for dinner.
Mhm
Big Brother. At this time, Chen Erke tugged on Chen Yus shirt and blinked her eyes pitifully. Big Brother, you really are kind. Although Ive never held a smartphone before, Im still happy that Big Sis got a new phone.
Chen Yu:
By the time the three Chen siblings walked out of the store, Chen Erke also lovingly held a new smartphone in her hand.
As for Chen Sanke, she still stood by the stores entrance harassing the mascot there
Dont! Little friend! Dont reach in! Dont touch
This voice Raising his eyebrows, Chen Yu stepped forward and tapped his knuckle on the mascots head. He then tentatively asked, Xing Biqi?
Huh? Whats the matter? The mascot instinctively turned around. Upon seeing Chen Yu, however, the person inside the mascot hurriedly covered her mouth. Uu

Chapter 236 C Daily Life (2)
Good evening, C-Chen Yu After removing the head of her costume with great difficulty, Xing Biqi awkwardly said, What a coincidence, haha.
Are you working part-time here?
Mhm. Xing Biqi lowered her head, afraid to look at Chen Yu in the eyes.
Its the White Rabbit Sister from last time, Chen Sanke exclaimed.
White Rabbit Sister? Chen Yu couldnt help but be taken aback by Chen Sankes words.
Ng! Chen Sanke nodded. This Big Sister gave me a White Rabbit Candy last time.
Little Sister, d-do you want this? Xing Biqi hurriedly took out a box of high-quality grapes from her down jacket. She then removed the plastic wrap and offered two to Chen Sanke.
Chen Sanke accepted the grapes and stuffed them into her mouth without hesitation. She then happily said, Thank you, Grape Sister.
T-Third Eldest! Dont use such strange names in the future! Chen Yu said as he pinched his forehead. Just call her Big Sis.
Okay~~(*^^*)
T-Take a few more. Xing Biqi grabbed two more grapes and handed them to Chen Sanke. She then looked toward Chen Yus two other little sisters and asked, D-Do you want some?
Thanks for the offer. Chen Yike shook her head with a strange expression on her face.
Im not eating it! Chen Sanke answered in a hostile tone.
Smiling awkwardly, Xing Biqi carefully stored the remaining grapes into her jacket.
Chen Yu had keen eyesight, so he noticed the price tag on the box.
[Imported from America: 125 yuan.]
He recalled that Xing Biqi said she would make him a fruit cake this week last Friday.
Obviously, these grapes were part of the cakes ingredients.
Holding Chen Sankes hand, Chen Yu glanced at the large mascot headgear on the floor. He then asked, Do you often work part-time during the weekends?
Not always. After putting her headgear back on, Xing Biqi waved her hand and said, Chen Yu, its cold outside. You should go home with your sisters first. Ill head back to work.
When does your shift end?
I s-still have about half an hour to go.
Your homes so far away. Is it safe to go back so late?
Its safe. Ill take a taxi.
Then After pondering in silence for a moment, Chen Yu said, Well take our leave first.
Mhm! Xing Biqi nodded repeatedly. Take care, and see you at school.
See you at school.
After waving at Xing Biqi, Chen Yu turned around and left with his three little sisters.
While holding onto the stack of flyers, Xing Biqi idly stared at Chen Yus back until the latter disappeared into a corner.
Ugh
After a long time, a complicated sigh came out from the cute mascot.
Brother, was that the female classmate that came to our house last time?
As soon as the Chen familys four young masters turned the corner, Chen Yike promptly posed this question.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded without giving any further explanations. He then approached another mobile phone store and asked the mascot employee there, Friend, can I ask something?
Whats the matter, brother? a male voice came out from the costume.
Hows the pay for a part-time job here?
Oh? You want to do it as well? It just so happens the stores lacking manpower. I can help recommend you if youre looking for work.
Thanks, but I just want to know how the salary is.
Youre a student, right? Its 100 yuan per day for Saturdays and Sundays in winter; 150 yuan in summer. You just need to stand for a few hours in the morning and afternoon. Youll get extra if you take the night shift as well.
Oh, I see. Thanks.
No problem.
After politely thanking the employee, Chen Yu led his three little sisters into a high-end restaurant. They then took a seat at a window table.
Sir, how many of you will be dining here today? a waiter asked after approaching the four siblings.
Give us a pot of hot water. Well take a break first before ordering.
Okay, please wait a moment.
Very quickly, the waiter returned with cups and a kettle of water. If you have any other needs, please call me.
Okay.
Picking up the kettle, Chen Yu poured hot water for his three little sisters. He then stood up and said, Rest here for now. I have something to deal with outside. Well order once I come back.
But Im hungry now, Chen Erke said, her eyes remaining glued to her new phone.
Stay hungry for a while longer, then.
Big Brother Pulling out one of the grapes Xing Biqi previously gave her, Chen Sanke gave the grape a lick and tilted her head. Are you going to look for that White Rabbit Grape Sister?
Stop using these strange names!
Ten minutes later, the mobile phone stores manager walked out of the building and shouted at Xing Biqi, Little girl, time to get off work.
Huh? Xing Biqi removed her headgear in confusion. She then pulled out her phone and took a look at the time. But there are still over 20 minutes left.
You can get off work early today, the manager said as he pulled out 150 yuans worth of notes and stuffed them into the girls hands. Its getting dark. Go home quickly.
M-Manager, you gave me too much.
Its a bonus.
T-Thank you Xing Biqi accepted the notes in a daze.
All hail the manager! Youre the best! The other part-time mascot employee also removed his headgear, revealing the head of a young man. The youth then looked at Xing Biqi and said, Little Qi, lets go. Ill treat you to Malatang.
No, Im going home.
The girl shook her head and began taking off her thick costume.
Ill send you home, then.
Just as the youth was about to take off his costume as well, the manager stopped him and questioned, What are you doing?
Getting off work?
Since when did I say you get to go? the manager demanded with a stern look.
D-Didnt you say that were getting off work early today
I was talking about her! Not you! Put it back on!
The youth:
After removing her costume, Xing Biqi pulled out two heat pads from her pocket and stuck them to her cotton socks soles. She then changed into her shoes, and excitedly walked to the fruit store next door with the 150 yuan in her hand.
Auntie, I want this. After entering the store, the girl picked up a box of lychees without hesitation and returned to the counter. How much is it?
After the female clerk scanned the barcode on the box, she stuck a label a Sold label on the box and said, One hundred and ten.
After paying the money, Xing Biqi carefully stored the box inside her down jacket and walked out of the store in satisfaction. Simultaneously, she started mentally simulating the cake making process she would go through after returning home.
Hey!
Just as the girl was about to walk to the nearby bus stop, a familiar voice entered her ears.
Chen Yu?
Even before turning her head, she had already recognized the owner of the voice.
Where are you going?
I-Im going home. Stunning, Xing Biqi asked, Why are you still here?
Waiting for you for dinner.
Dinner?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded. He then grabbed the girls hand in a domineering manner and dragged her to the restaurant, Ill be feeding you from now on.
The girl: !!!
Time passed by quickly amidst the falling winter snowflakes.
A week had gone by in the blink of an eye.
Saturday, 8:55 AM, Pacific Oceans equator:
Inside the mist-shrouded Super Floating Castle, Chen Yu sat on a boat in the Black Lake as he quietly waited for the arrival of nine oclock.
Mr. Chen!
Four minutes later, Little Peach came running over and jumped onto the boat. The island-engineering ship has arrived. Its just below the castle.
Thats not important right now. Pulling out his mask, Chen Yu hesitantly asked, I want to know whether your ability to collect information on the internet is reliable.
I am absolutely reliable! Little Peach declared while patting her chest vigorously. Although Ive only studied for a week, my foundation in programming is solid. The same goes for my hacking skills.
Ill trust you, then. Just dont delay my plans.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu checked the time. He then put on his mask and said, Its nine oclock. Were starting the livestream.
Okay!
Little Peach hurriedly conceded the cameras central position to Chen Yu and put on her mask as well.
Start the livestream!

Chapter 237 C Livestream Activated! Shocking Reveal! (1)
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, YoutubeNiconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
23,851.
802,384.
10,009,966
The total viewer count had exceeded 10 million in an instant!
Among the viewers, a significant portion were residents of the Echigo Plain.
After conducting two large-scale reviews in Japan, Chen Yus popularity in the country was only second to China.
[Its here!]
[Why is it so hazy? Wheres the venue this time?]
[My husband is still as handsome as always today.]
[Ive traveled from Inner Mongolia to Beijing to Japan! Host, where are you?]
[Look at the boat. UP must be on the floating castle.]
[Female assistant, my hands have gone sore from thinking of you.]
[Host, can you review more shocking products?]
[Strongly recommend you review a Waterdrop]
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu watched the viewer count displayed on his watch rapidly rising for half a minute. After seeing the increase slowing down, he began his opening remarks.
Good morning, friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream. Thank you for your support and patience.
After saying so, Chen Yu flicked his wizard robe and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The next moment, the thick fog around him scattered, revealing the scenic Black Lake and the spectacular castle complex behind him.
[Crap! Its so magical!]
[Can magic be used in this Hogwarts?]
[Damn]
[Im willing to bet that someones using the Weather Control Module behind the scenes!]
Snap!
Chen Yu snapped his fingers once more. Immediately, the Black Lakes giant squid emerged and extended a tentacle toward the boats stern.
Standing up, Chen Yu put on the wizard hat in his hand, completing his look of an unfathomable wizard. He then stepped onto the tentacle and walked onto the squids back.
As for Little Peach, who was also wearing a wizard robe, she followed after Chen Yu and stood behind him.
Splash!
Ripples spread throughout the lake as the squid rapidly swam toward the castle complex.
Todays additional livestream will be divided into two parts. Part one will be a simple review of an exciting product. Part two will be a livestream of an important plan regarding the floating castle.
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu gazed at the castle complex and continued, Initially, I did not intend to announce my plan to the public. However, after considering that the rise of technology is a matter that involves all of mankind, I felt that everyone should pay attention to this plan. Hence, the second part of todays livestream.
At these words, the squid had also crossed the Black Lake and arrived at the boathouse.
Snap!
Raising his hand, Chen Yu snapped his fingers once more. Immediately, Chen Yu actually levitated into the air!
The strong wind blowing also caused his robe to flutter, giving him a profound and mysterious feeling
[Dammit! UP, did you really become a wizard?!]
[How handsome]
[There should be some kind of technological principle behind this, right?]
[Things are getting more and more magical]
[Too awesome!]
[As we all know, magic = technology.]
Chen Yu flew along the pathway leading to the castle complex and arrived before the castles entrance. With the camera following after him, he then entered the castles interior.
This was a new gameplay he discovered in the past week. If he had the liquid nanoworms making up the Auror mages transform into light particles, he could use them to achieve various magical effects.
For example, he could summon fireballs, icicles, and storms. He could even achieve flight.
Although most of these effects didnt have any practical purpose, they did wonders when he was trying to act cool in front of the camera
Greetings, Headmaster. When a zookeeper, who was feeding some birds, saw Chen Yu enter the front courtyard, he quickly bowed. Currently, the zookeeper was similarly clad in a wizard robe.
Good morning.
After waving at the zookeeper, Chen Yu passed through the front courtyard and entered the castles interior, making his way straight to the central courtyard.
As everyone can see, the castle already has its first batch of residents. Meanwhile, this is just the beginning. There will still be a second batch, third batch, and so on. In my plan, the castle might become mankinds Technology and Academic Center in the future
After arriving at the central courtyard, the originally mysterious and classical scenery suddenly changed!
At this time, lush and neatly trimmed flowers and vegetation decorated the vast courtyard. There were also plenty of bamboos that stretched up to the opening at the courtyards center. And amidst the light mist that enveloped the entire courtyard, two clean giant pandas could be seen playing around in the bamboo forest.
A short distance away, there was also a white crane standing on one leg, making a pleasant cry.
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Host, youre too much!]
[Envy, makes me jump left and right.]
[Envy, causes my head to swell]
[Are the pandas real?]
[UP: I have a floating castle, a beautiful female assistant, many magical servants, and two pandas, yet I am not happy.]
[Suddenly, living in a big mansion doesnt seem as nice anymore.]
[I cant stand it anymore. :)]
[Dont stop me! Im going to be a part of the second batch of residents!]
Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal located in the middle of the courtyard. He then bent down and picked up a pillow from the delivery box sitting before the portal. Showing the pillow to the camera, he said, This is todays review product. It is called the Fight Pillow, and it is infused with dopamine vapors. When a person is struck in the face by this pillow, the dopamine vapors will escape the pillow and enter the persons lungs, generating a strong sense of euphoria. Afterward, the person will involuntarily grab a pillow of their own and attack other people.
If a person is hit numerous times by this pillow, they will fall into an unconscious state. However, the person will not come under any danger. On the contrary, a bacteria strain called the microbial bacteria will enhance the persons physiological functions and relieve their nerve pressure.
Tossing the pillow back into the box, Chen Yu continued, This is a high-tech product that incorporates body care, sports, and entertainment. After five days of testing the Fight Pillow on animals, the struck animals have seen visible changes to their physique. Thats right
Visible changes.
Approaching the two giant pandas, Chen Yu patted the head of one of the pandas and said, Whether it is their strength, appetite, activeness, or intelligence, everything has seen visible improvements. Some monkeys with stomach flu have even recovered their health overnight. As for the birds, due to the significant difference between the bacteria strains found in their bodies and humans, we have yet to see any changes in them.
And as the Fight Pillow is specifically made for humans, humans should see greater benefits from the pillows. According to the zookeepers reports, if we use the pandas, capuchin monkeys, and gorillas as a comparison, we can expect to cure at least 80% of common diseases with the help of the Fight Pillow
That includes tuberculosis, influenza, bacterial and viral inflammation, parasitic complications, and AIDs. It might even have an inhibitory effect on cancer
As soon as these words fell, a terrifying wave of bullet comments also flooded the livestream rooms!
Aside from a few high-authority units of the Chinese government, almost every scientific research institution worldwide fell into shock and confusion.
[??]
[????]
[Stop joking around]
[Really? Really? Really?]
[Host, youre joking, right?]
[For some reason, I suddenly feel like tearing up.]
[How much is this pillow? Im going to buy it even if it means going bankrupt!]
[Sell one to me! UP! I beg you! I beg you! I beg you!]
[A disaster for pharmaceutical companies?]
[Who cares about the universe, island-builders, or trains? Im only paying attention to the UP so that I can see something like this appearing]
[Daddy! Pick me!]
[Pick me! Im sick! Im sick, ahahaha! Im sick!]
Chapter 238 - Livestream Activated! Shocking Reveal! (2)
Chapter 238 C Livestream Activated! Shocking Reveal! (2)
Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company, Presidents Office:
Bang! Bang!
A knock came from the offices solid wooden doors.
Come in.
President Kerr. A voluptuous white woman entered the room and placed a set of documents on the table. An order just came down from the board of directors. Theyve said to obtain a participation slot in Transdimensional Reviews interactive event no matter what to collect samples and start research as soon as possible.
Have the funds arrived?
Yes. You have full discretion over them.
Hearing this, President Kerr instantly felt an indescribable sense of pressure bearing down on him.
Standing up, Kerr placed his hands into his pockets and walked to the window. As he looked at the distant scenery, cold sweat drenched his back. How is the companys stock faring?
After a moment of silence, the female assistant from the board of directors uttered two words, Total collapse.
The major stockholders have lost confidence in the company, which resulted in a chain reaction. Although most stockholders still arent aware of whats going on, after seeing the stock prices of all pharmaceutical companies plummeting, they, too, have abandoned their stocks, causing an even greater chain reaction.
Has there been any word from the government?
We are negotiating with various pharmaceutical companies. Wall Streets major investment banks are also panicking and making their way here. However, you are not required to manage this. You only have one taskGet a slot and collect samples!
Understood.
President Kerr nodded. After taking a deep breath, he pushed a button on his desk.
Shortly afterward, seven of his assistants hurriedly rushed into his office and stood before him.
Transfer all funds in Account B to our 28 subsidiary pharmaceutical companies in batches. Take full advantage of our multinational group and participate in the slot competition on all platforms.
We dont have enough funds, the board of directors assistant said, frowning. If you spread out our funds like this, we wont make it into the top three.
Top three? Sneering, Kerr pointed at the string of numbers stated on the document, With just this much money, we wont even get into the top five! Rather than compete for the top five positions of a single platform, well be better off having all of our subsidiaries compete on all platforms. Transdimensionals UP doesnt always choose the biggest donor.
Very well. Youre in charge anyway, the female assistant shrugged.
I remember that theres a department in the company that once analyzed the UPs psychological portrait, right?
Yes. A man among Kerrs seven assistants nodded. There are two psychology majors in the Personnel Department. They did a psychological portrait of Transdimensionals UP during their free time.
Call those two people over! Have them change the subsidiary companies names based on the UPs thinking and logic.
Yes, sir!
America, NASAs headquarters:
Director, the request for additional funding has been approved. It will be transferred over immediately.
Good. The director nodded with a sullen face. Have all departments get ready. The product this time is special, and we must grab a spot no matter what!
Yes, sir!
China, Chinese Academy of Sciences:
At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the sterile laboratory of the medical department. After picking up the microphone, he anxiously shouted at the old man inside the glass laboratory, Teacher, I just heard that were not competing for a participation slot in Transdimensional Reviews interactive event this time?
Those dopamine vapors and microbial bacteria hold great importance! Why arent we participating? If we delay things any more, we wont have enough time to have the necessary funds transferred over!
Participate? While holding onto a test tube labeled with the words microbial bacteria in his left hand, the old director turned around and stared at the middle-aged man with a puzzled look. Why should we participate? To waste money?
The middle-aged man:
After Chen Yu announced the Fight Pillows effect, many companies, governments, institutions, and scientific organizations worldwide instantly fell into chaos.
Compared with the products Chen Yu had evaluated in the past, this insignificant object had a much greater impact on their current livelihoods and society!
Inside the floating castle, Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the dense wall of text displayed on his watch. He then faced the camera and sternly said, It seems everyone has already understood the particularity of this product. In that case, Ill announce the selection rules for this interactive livestream.
One: Healthy people shouldnt participate in the bullet comment selection. Leave the opportunity to your compatriots with more urgent physiological conditions. Moreover, those selected cannot leave after the livestream is over. You still have to participate in follow-up tests.
Two: The higher education group will be removed and replaced with the hospital group. All major hospitals around the world can participate in the competition for slots. Also, selected hospitals must gather exactly 30 patients and 3 doctors for the event.
Three: Some of the materials on the Fight Pillow can be collected, but you are not allowed to take the pillow as a whole. Otherwise, both the hospital and the hospitals country of origin will be blacklisted.
Thats all I have to say. Now, as usual, well start with selecting the bullet comment groups members.
Approaching the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, Ill choose a total of 10 IDs. The competition starts now!
[Nobody compete with me! Ive committed suicide before! Theres a problem with my brain!]
[My whole family is sick, thank you.]
[Im sick too!]
[I have an unknown sickness!]
[Im so sick I dont even know Im sick!]
[Please, I beg you all! Im really sick! Stop competing with me!]
[*Raises hand weakly* Does poverty count as a sickness?]
[UP has created a new era of livestreaming]
Perhaps Chen Yus instructions had been effective, but despite the 10 livestream rooms having over 14 million viewers in total, the bullet comments appearing were far fewer than usual.
After waiting for several minutes, Chen Yu said, Stop!
Ive chosen the 10 lucky winners for the bullet comment group. I will now start reading the list.
Bilibili, ID Under the Moon; ID Unrealistic.
DouYu, ID Lotus Guru.
Youtube, ID Zhu Lish
Pausing, Chen Yu frowned and turned off the livestreams audio. He then shouted, Hermione!
Im here. The magical girl immediately appeared behind Chen Yu. Lord Headmaster, is there a problem?
Help me take a look at this. How do you read this word? Chen Yu asked as he pointed at his watchs screen.
Let me! I know a lot of words as well! Little Peach eagerly poked her head forward. After looking at the watchs screen, she said, This word is pronounced as Shuo! Its Zhu Lishuo!
No. Shaking her head, Hermione said, Its pronounced as Shui. Zhu Lishui.
Oh. You can step back.
Okay.
Hermione nodded. With a wave of her staff, she disappeared into the void once more.
After turning the livestreams audio back on, Chen Yu repeated, Youtube, ID Zhu Lishui.
Niconico, ID Uh
Stunned, Chen Yu carefully observed the numerous IDs showing on Niconicos bullet comment section. Why is everyones name in Chinese? Isnt this a Japanese platform? Ive chosen plenty of Chinese already, so Im not choosing anymore. Im skipping Niconico.
Periscope, ID wenyejie.
Twitch
After reciting the 10 IDs he selected, Chen Yu lowered his watch and loudly said, The 10 friends mentioned above, Ive already granted you access to privately message me. Please send your addresses to me within one minute. Note that you should choose a spacious location.
[Bastards! Everyones a bastard!]
[If those selected form a team, they can definitely bankrupt lottery companies.]
[In the end, this world still belongs to RNGesus.]
[Im crying.]
[Dont cry. There are plenty more opportunities to cry in the future.]
Next, the donation group.
Raising his right hand, Chen Yu shouted, Its time to contribute to the charity of all mankind and brandish your notes! Start!
[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out 5,000x Transdimensional Glory!]
[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out 20,000x Lamps!]
[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out 58,888x Super Rockets!]
[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out]
Wait a minute! Chen Yu suddenly called out. He then showed his watchs screen to the camera and said in dissatisfaction, This NASA ID is spamming the screen! Disqualified!
[NASA Aerospace: What???]
Chapter 239 - City Massacre” (1)
Chapter 239 C City Massacre (1)
Pacific Ocean, Hogwarts Floating Castle, central courtyard:
After confirming all the IDs for the bullet comment, donation, and hospital groups, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and started teleporting the selected participants by order.
Bilibili, ID Under the Moon
Space within the portal distorted. The instant the spatial link was successfully established, a young man dashed through the portal and excitedly spread his arms to hug Chen Yu, only to be stopped by an Auror mage before he could succeed.
UP! Im your loyal fan!
Lets set this aside first. Visually scanning the young man, Chen Yu asked, I previously stated that those who are healthy shouldnt participate in the interactive event. Are you sick?
Im sick! Im sick! The young man smiled and shook his head triumphantly. Im quite sick.
What kind of disease do you have?
Schizophrenia! My clinical symptoms are mainly incoherence of thought, hehe! Isnt it awesome? While bouncing up and down before Chen Yu, the young man pulled out a folder from his jacket and said, Look! This is the DSM diagnosis of my schizophrenia, and this is my CCMD diagnostic
Fine, fine, fine! No need to read it. I believe you. Stand aside and wait for the event to start.
How would you know Im sick if you dont read it? My schizophrenia still hasnt acted up, so Im still norm
Sir, please follow me, Hermione interjected the young man with a bow.
No rush. Ill let UP see my proouu!
Before the youth could finish his words, Hermione covered his mouth with her hand and dragged him away.
I hope you can recover.
After sending the youth a pitiful glance, Chen Yu disconnected the spatial link and entered the address of the bullet comment groups second member.
Bilibili, ID Unrealistic
With Under the Moon as an example, the subsequent participants that walked through the portal all took the initiative to prove their physical conditions.
However, a minor deviation occurred when it came to the participant selected from Afreeca TV.
In unskilled Chinese, the bulky Korean man said, My sickness is breast hyperplasia.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu grabbed the lightsaber from Hermione and said, Ill give you one chance to revise your words.
I-Its prostate hyperplasia
After teleporting all 10 bullet comment group members to the floating castle, Chen Yu started teleporting the donation groups 10 members.
Bilibili, ID Thai Airways Pharmaceutical.
TikTok, ID Chrysanthemum Pharmaceutical.
Youtube, ID World Health Organization
The participants of the donation group were very calm. After walking through the portal, they simply shook hands with Chen Yu before standing aside.
With such efficiency, it took only four minutes for Chen Yu to start teleporting the hospital groups members.
Bilibili, Wise National Hospital.
The moment the spatial link was established, 30 white men and women in medical suits dashed through the portal and surrounded Chen Yu. They thanked, bowed, cried, and knelt on the spot.
The incessant noises they made gave Chen Yu a headache.
Okay, thats enough. Please dont waste time. Im not the savior of the world. You dont need to behave like this. Girl, please dont kiss my right foot Hey! That doctor! Stay away from the pandas!
Afterward, Chen Yu continued transporting batch after batch of doctors and patients to the floating castle. And under the guidance of Hermione and four Auror mages, these people anxiously waited at a corner.
Lastly DouYu, ID Fujian Putian Hospital.
Buzz!
After space within the metal arch fluctuated briefly, an elderly man staggered through the portal and knelt before Chen Yu. Are you Doctor Ah Pu? Oh, great benefactor! You saved my family!
Wait.
Skillfully helping the old man up, Chen Yu pointed at Hermione and said, Its UP, not Ah Pu. Im not a doctor either. Follow this girl. And everyone else behind, please calm down. Why must everyone from the hospital group appear while kneeling down?
Hello, Mr. King! I am Tianpu Hospitals di- The middle-aged hospital director stretched his hand toward Chen Yu. However, before he could finish speaking, he noticed the irate look under Chen Yus mask and decisively shut his mouth. He then started directing the patients to a corner.
The members of all three groups are here now. Facing the camera, Chen Yu spread his arms and said, Weve wasted a lot of time already, so Ill briefly go through the event rules.
Pick up a pillow and attack everyone around you! The last person to remain standing will be the winner!
The winners prize is this. Picking up a white pillow from the box beside him, Chen Yu patted the pillow and said, Youll get to keep it for life. And no individual or organization is allowed to snatch it. Otherwise, youll be making an enemy out of me.
Meanwhile, upon hearing Chen Yus words, everyone promptly went into a heated discussion with each other. Particularly, the eyes of the 10 donation group members were practically glowing.
[How envious]
[What a pity. If I got selected, I couldve easily knocked down these sick people with a punch.]
[Its a fight using pillows! Not fists, you fool!]
[Im making a report! That fatty is our hospitals director, and his wife is among the group of patients!]
[Keke. Use your brain and think. How many among these patients do you think are actually sick?]
[Aside from those with physical disabilities, I dont believe anyone!]
[A pillow fight. We can play this game as well!]
[Im going to buy a pillow now. Anyone in Haidian, Beijing interested in playing can pm me.]
[The donation groups members have a big advantage! Theyre much healthier than the other participants!]
Now that weve gone through the product introduction, personnel gathering, and rule narration phases, lets head directly into the livestreams next phase! Performance evaluation!
After saying so, Chen Yu skillfully swiped his finger across the virtual globe and selected the sparsely populated city of Alxa in Chinas Inner Mongolia.
After the spatial link was established, Chen Yu picked up the large delivery box containing the 500 Fight Pillows and stepped through the portal. Everyone has a share! Follow me! One pillow per person! Men and women, old and young, smack whoever you see with your pillows!
Lets start a pillow fight across the whole city!
Inner Mongolia, Alxa City, Peoples Square:
Winters arrival had dispirited the small citys 230,000 or so residents.
However, with New Years Days approach, the commercial district was still relatively lively.
Buzz!
At 9:38 AM, a five-meter-tall and three-meter-wide metal arch suddenly appeared out of thin air in the commercial district. Under the horrified gazes of countless people, the metal arch overturned a makeshift fish stall and two other stalls selling couplets.
Like a plague, silence quickly spread throughout the crowded plaza.
Huh? Isnt this a sparsely populated city? Why are there so many people here? Chen Yu muttered in confusion as he walked out of the portal with the delivery box in hand.
Immediately afterward, the interactive event participants followed Chen Yu through the portal one after another. They quickly occupied the plazas center.
Seeing the sudden appearance of these people, the surrounding crowd slowly withdrew and dispersed in fear.
Crap! Its Transdimensionals UP!
The Interstellar Portal! Its the Interstellar Portal!
However, a small number of youths knew of Transdimensional Review, and these youths charged forward in a frenzy.
[Awesome, haha! Im nearby! What an unexpected surprise!!]
[You get to join the pillow fight without winning the lottery. Youre the real RNGesus!]
[I suddenly feel sorry for that fellow who went from Inner Mongolia all the way to Japan]
[My house is slightly far away. I hope I can make it in time.]
Hah! The more, the merrier!
Flexibly weaving her way through the crowd, Little Peach grabbed a pillow from the delivery box and eagerly waved it around. King, can we start now?
Sure, but you can only hit others with the pillow. Also, you cant hit the selected participants. You cant be downed, so youre considered a bug. Go play somewhere far away.
Okay~~~
In that case
Raising the delivery box, Chen Yu poured out all of the pillows onto the ground. He then started tossing the pillows into the crowd while shouting, Everyone, listen up!
Men and women, old and young, get rid of everyone! Charge!
Charge! x200+
Chapter 240 - City Massacre” (2)
Chapter 240 C City Massacre (2)
Charge!
Following Chen Yus command, nearly 400 people charged forward and fought for the white pillows on the ground.
However, due to their different identities, everyones action after picking up their weapon also varied from each other.
In the case of the bullet comment groups 10 members, they followed Chen Yus orders down to the letter and immediately started attacking the people around them after picking up a pillow.
As for the donation groups 10 members, they pulled out all sorts of gadgets and glass bottles and started desperately collecting the material inside the pillows, avoiding a situation where they would return without any results after getting knocked unconscious.
As for the hospital groups 300-plus members, the majority of them fervently struck themselves until they fainted as soon as they picked up a pillow.
Compared to winning or losing the game, what they were more concerned about was curing their own ailments
Chen Yu:
Demacia!
The youth with the ID Unrealistic ran as fast as lightning and smashed his pillow heavily into the head of a middle-aged man.
Poof!
White dust diffused out of the pillow. Immediately, the flustered expression on the middle-aged mans face disappeared, and he ran forward to pick up a pillow on the ground. He then sent the pillow smashing into Unrealistics face.
Poof!
I lost health! After inhaling a mouthful of dopamine vapors, Unrealistic grew even more excited. Tightening his grip on his pillow, the youth fought back with murderous intent!
Poof!
Poof!
Poof
After five exchanges, Unrealistic collapsed to the ground, his consciousness blurring. Fun How fun
Hah!
Meanwhile, the middle-aged mans excitement had reached its peak, and he opened his arms and laughed at the sky. Ahahahaugh.
Poof!
The mans laughter abruptly stopped as a pillow assaulted him from behind and sent him to the ground
After agilely dodging the participants attacks, Chen Yu picked up the collapsed participants and removed them from the battlefield.
Meanwhile, more and more onlookers grew interested in the battle. These people scrambled for a pillow to join the fight.
The dopamine floating in the air spread like a plague and rapidly infected the surrounding crowd. In no time at all, everyone at the plaza was drowning in euphoria.
Shortly afterward, the battlefield also extended to the surrounding shopping malls, office buildings, and pedestrian streets.
After receiving an order from the higher-ups, the local police department also quickly dispatched officers to lock down the areas traffic. Several dozen officers were also sent to check if any problems were occurring within the event venue. However, these officers also quickly got infected and started happily waving around a Fight Pillow
Five minutes later, four ambulances arrived at the area and drove into the plaza. They stood on standby for any emergencies. However, one of the nurses ended up falling to temptation, resulting in a quick annihilation of the medical team
Ten minutes later, five fire trucks arrived at the plaza. The firefighters on board similarly fell to the euphoric atmosphere
With the plazas center as the starting point, the small city of Alxas city center gradually became a sea of joy.
Although there were only 500 Fight Pillows available, the rate at which participants collapsed was much faster than the rate at which new participants joined the event.
[Lololol!]
[How interesting. Im going to buy some pillows to play with as well.]
[It would be great if humans could solve their wars with such games.]
[The life of future humans really is colorful]
[Crap! Im late! I got blocked outside again! Dammit!]
[Just say that youre sick and that you need to be treated. The officers will definitely let you enter.]
[Can you give us more shots of the female assistant?]
[Ive fought in a pillow fight before. I was still a virgin man when I first played it. Now, Im already the mother of two children. I really miss those times]
[?]
[??!]
[!!]
As time went by, more and more onlookers had learned of the Fight Pillows effect, and they started joining in on the battle. However, as the area was locked down, the number of unconscious people had already exceeded the number of conscious people.
Meanwhile, among all the players on the battlefield, the strongest one was undoubtedly Little Peach. As she had a computer chip for a brain, the dopamine vapors had no effect on her. Taking advantage of this point, she abandoned defense and happily brandished her pillow at everyone in her path.
However, after Little Peach went crazy for a short while, Chen Yu stopped her, Stop playing. Time to work.
Huh? Tilting her head, Little Peach asked, What work?
Transfer the unconscious participants back to the castle.
Let me play a little while longer! Little Peach stomped her feet coquettishly, her stomps cracking the marble tiles of the plaza.
Be good. We have plenty of time to play once we head back, Chen Yu said in a gentle tone.
Fine
Looking back at the people ecstatically smashing pillows into each others faces, Little Peach reluctantly threw her pillow onto the ground.
First, wake up the hospital supervisors and doctors. Also, have the donation groups members help you transfer the unconscious people. Remember not to wake up the unconscious patients and bullet comment group members. The longer they remain unconscious, the more health benefits they will receive, Chen Yu instructed Little Peach as they walked toward the Interstellar Portal. As for the citys residents, ignore them. The government will take care of them.
Am I going to do it alone? What will you be doing?
Ive been outside for too long. To be safe, Im going to go put on the protective suit and return to collect the pillows. After arriving before the portal, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, Quickly take action.
After saying so, Chen Yu crossed the portal and arrived back in the floating castles central courtyard.
As soon as Chen Yu arrived back in the courtyard, the first thing he saw was a black doctor in a white coat. This doctor was currently enthusiastically petting a panda in the corner of the courtyard.
Chen Yu: What the heck are you doing?
Startled by Chen Yus return, the black doctor hurriedly waved his hands and explained in poor Chinese, R-Rubbingpanda
Get lost.
After dragging the doctor and tossing him into the portal, Chen Yu tidied up his wizard robe and faced the camera. Sternly, he said, Everyone shouldve already gotten an understanding of the Fight Pillows function. The pillow fight is also almost at its end. Before the fight ends, we also have to prepare for the livestreams second segment in advance.
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out a document from his robe and displayed it to the camera. As I said before, the livestreams second segment is an important announcement related to the floating castle. So, I hereby officially extend an invitation to the following people
Beijing University, School of Mathematics: Academician Jiang Bo and Academician Chen Jia; School of Physics: Academician Tian Gang; School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering: Academician Su Lemin, Professor Zhou Li. School of Life Sciences: Professor Fang Jingyun
Harbin Institute of Technology, School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering: Professor Bai Jicheng.
Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Institute of Computer Science and Technology: Academician Cheng Zhian, Professor Li Yong
Beijing Jiaotong University, School of Basic Medicine: Academician Chang Jingling.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Earth and Space Sciences: Professor Wheeler Riels, Professor Charlie Bolsmans
Moscow University, Software Engineering Research Center: Professor Klermore Krzemowski.
The National University of Singapore, School of Social Relations: Professor Zhang Mingjiu.
The University of Tokyo, School of New Materials Science: Professor Umekawa Yoko
Chen Yu took seven minutes to read all of the names listed on his document. He then stored the document away and faced the camera, All professors mentioned above, you have one hour to prepare. One hour later, I will deploy portals to the plaza of your respective institutions. If you are absent, I will deem it as a refusal of my invitation.
However, I believe none of you would be absent. After all, this might possibly be human civilizations brightest moment
After saying so, Chen Yu left the camera in place while he made his way to the Headmasters Tower.
Chapter 241 - Human Civilization’s Shining Moment (1)
Chapter 241 C Human Civilizations Shining Moment (1)
New York, United Nations Headquarters, Building B, Observer Conference Hall:
Upon hearing what Chen Yu said through the screen, everyone inside the hall started having hushed discussions among each other.
Americas representative, who sat in the north of the round table, frowned as he fell into deep thought. He made one conjecture after another in his mind, never able to get a good grasp of Chen Yus goal.
After a while, Americas representative looked toward the middle-aged man representing China.
Sensing the American representatives gaze, the middle-aged team leader turned to look at him, nodded, and smiled.
Americans representative remained silent.
In his eyes, this opponent of his undoubtedly had facial paralysis. After all, the man wouldnt bat an eye no matter what kind of news the middle-aged team leader heard. Although the mans subordinates werent as expressionless, they knew too little information, so using their reactions as reference were of little use.
This situation placed him in a bind.
After thinking for a while, he finally couldnt hold back and asked, Chinas Representative, do you know of the plan Transdimensionals UP mentioned?
We
Dont know. Americas representative preemptively said what the middle-aged team leader wanted to say. I knew you would say that.
The middle-aged team leader:
However, I want to hear you say something else. Aside from We dont know, tell me something else.
We dont understand, the middle-aged team leader said.
Something else aside from We dont know and We dont understand.
We arent clear.
As a member of the Observer organization. In a severe tone, Americas representative said, Please respect your colleagues.
Suddenly, everyone inside the hall fell silent as they observed this abrupt argument.
We have always respected our colleagues. We have also responded to the creed of a community with a shared future for mankind. Slowly, the middle-aged team leader said, However, Transdimensionals UP possesses wisdom and ideas surpassing mortal men. If he doesnt take the initiative to disclose his plans, how can ordinary people like us hope to discern his plans in advance?
I dont believe you.
The middle-aged team leader:
They have always said your side has inside information.
Who said this?
Right, who said this In a quiet tone, Americas representative said, I heard it by chance.
Hahaha. The middle-aged team leader laughed.
Whats so funny?
Nothing. If you say the same thing, it is only natural I will find it funny.
Do you think its funny? The expression of Americas representative gradually became gloomy.
It is funny. So, shouldnt I laugh?
A brief silence fell over the Observer Conference Hall.
In that case, how do you explain how your side managed to obtain Transdimensionals UPs microbial bacteria in advance? Dont ask me how I know this.
I dont know the specific process, either. The middle-aged team leader shook his head. The general explanation is that while Transdimensionals UP was collecting animals in the zoo for his experiment, he has struck many animals with the Fight Pillow and ended up leaving a lot of powder. Im sure everyone here has seen the zookeepers inside the castle. They have been transferred over from the zoo. As for other so-called inside information, if the UP doesnt disclose his plans, we wont be able to understand what hes trying to do either.
The middle-aged team leaders explanation sounded reasonable. Under the restriction of many factors, Americas representative had no choice but to give up on continuing with his mind games
In reality, though, everything the middle-aged team leader had said was the truth.
He had simply concealed a small bit of information
And that was the fact that Chen Yu had ordered the zookeepers not to approach the Headmasters Tower and library.
In the case of the Headmasters Tower, it was Chen Yus living quarters, so it was understandable why he would prohibit others from approaching it. However, in the case of the library
When the middle-aged team leader connected this point to the fact that Chen Yu had invited numerous experts and scholars, he could roughly sketch out the truth already
Walking alone in the vast castle complex, Chen Yu basked the aura of culture and mystery his surroundings gave off.
The sky, castle, and mages.
The combination of these three words could give people unlimited room for imagination.
Science was a general term for analyzing the nature and laws of the world.
Magic was the desire to explore the power and mystery of nature.
Meanwhile, the essence of both was human beings pursuit of the unknown.
At this time, Chen Yu had an indescribable feeling as he stood in this floating castle, a combination of science and magic.
It didnt matter even if he lived in a big villa or high-end apartment. The living experience in these places would never be able to compare to living in a real castle.
This was especially true for a magical castle such as Hogwarts.
Harry Potter was so famous worldwide because of the irresistible charm this magic city held.
Over the past week, he had frequently visited the floating castle just so that he could sit in a random corner and quietly feel the passing of time.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu arrived inside a hall and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Boom Boom Boom
A moving staircase appeared, and the doors to the Headmasters Tower opened.
Walking up the flight of steps, Chen Yu arrived inside the study. However, he did not hurry to put on his protective suit. Instead, he calmly brewed himself a cup of coffee, sat in front of the dim glass window with his legs crossed, and observed the floating clouds outside.
At this moment, there was only one word left in his heart.
Nice
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yu returned to the central courtyard, fully armed.
At this time, over 300 participants were laid unconscious in the courtyard, with most of them being the hospital groups patients.
Hows the situation? Chen Yu asked one of the hospital supervisors. Have there been any changes to the patients conditions?
We dont have any equipment to check, so we cant draw an accurate conclusion. Revealing an excited expression, the supervisor said, However, some patients with lung inflammation have stable breathing rates now. The blood pressure of some patients has also begun to stabilize.
Good, then. After these patients return to the hospital, Ill be paying you a visit in a few days for a detailed analysis report.
No problem!
Nodding, Chen Yu walked through the portal and saw that the massacre on the battlefield had already begun to lull.
Similar to the castles central courtyard, the plaza was filled with slumbering people.
The police officers that maintained law and order had also taken the initiative to collect the scattered Fight Pillows and stack them up in a clean spot.
Truly excellent teammates! Chen Yu exclaimed. Picking up the delivery box, he quickly went forward to store the pillows.
One, two, threetwenty-twotwenty-fourtwo hundred and seventy-eight
U-UP! Can you give me an autograph? At this time, a police officer in a military coat approached Chen Yu while rubbing his palms together nervously. With an expected look, he asked, Also, can we take a group photo afterward?
Huh? Lifting his head, Chen Yu froze for half a second. No problem. Where do I sign?
On my notebook.
Sure.
After getting the autograph and group photo, the police officer left gratefully.
Smiling, Chen Yu muttered, Heh, it seems my charm knows no bounds Uh, where did I leave off just now? Fuck!
After another 10 minutes had gone by, the plaza finally calmed down.
The participants of the bullet comment group, donation group, and hospital groups were annihilated. None of them were able to beat the locals.
However, even after the battle had ended, Chen Yu only managed to recollect 499 Fight Pillows.
Where did the last one go? Chen Yu asked Little Peach.
I dont know.
Have you guys seen it? Chen Yu turned to look at the supervising police officer standing beside him.
No.
Have you sealed the area?
We did. Hesitantly, the supervising officer asked, Should I have my team search the area again?
No. I have a way to find it.
Removing the protective suits left glove, Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch and located the last pillows position.
Did you find it? Little Peach asked.
Found it.
Where?
Under us
Lowering his head, Chen Yu looked at a manhole cover in front of him.
Plop!
The manhole cover suddenly lifted up, and the youth with the ID Under the Moon popped out of the manhole. After observing his surroundings, he said excitedly, Aha! Im the last person standing! I won, right?!
Y-Yes!
Yay! Awesome! Under the Moon danced in joy. A bunch of fools! Feel the fear of being ruled by wisdom! Awooo
Everyone present:
Chapter 242 - Human Civilization’s Shining Moment (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 242 C Human Civilizations Shining Moment (2)
After pushing Little Peach and the genius-slash-insane youth through the portal, Chen Yu picked up the delivery box. He then turned around and bowed slightly to the police officers, Thank you very much for your help today.
Youre welcome! This is what we should do! xN
Goodbye. Let us meet again if fate allows it.
Goodbye.
After bidding farewell, Chen Yu retreated into the portal and disconnected the spatial link.
Subsequently, the metal arch disappeared from Alxa City, leaving behind many slumbering people in the Peoples Plaza
Boom.
After returning to the castle, Chen Yu put down the box full of pillows and stood on the central courtyards elevated platform. As he scanned the crowd before him, he said, I would like to thank everyone for your participation in todays event. This is the end of the pillow fight event. I believe everyone shouldve gotten your respective harvests. Now, please line up and wait to leave through the portal.
First up is the hospital groups Fujian Putian Hospital.
After entering the address and waiting for the spatial link to be established, Chen Yu approached the Putian Hospital teams members and picked up an unconscious old man. Those who can still move, please help transfer the patients away.
Little Peach and the donation groups members promptly stepped forward to help Putian Hospitals doctors transfer the patients through the portal.
Next is the California Hospital
Treasure Island General Hospital
Wisdom National Hospital
Sometime later, the last hospital team was sent away from the floating castle.
While standing before the portal, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, Take good care of those patients. Help me wish them a speedy recovery.
I will definitely convey your words, the white hospital director said in fluent Chinese as he waved his hand excitedly. Goodbye! Youre a good person!
G-Goodbye. After closing the portal, Chen Yu snapped his fingers and called out, Hermione.
Im here.
Send these people to the guest room to rest, Chen Yu said as he pointed at the bullet comment groups nine slumbering members.
Yes, sir.
Immediately, the nine Auror mages appeared and hauled the participants away from the central courtyard.
Lastly
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at the donation groups 10 members and said, Ill have you guys remain in the castle for now. There will be many professors and government officials arriving in a moment. Youll return together with them.
Okay! x10
Everyone promptly nodded. To them, this was undoubtedly a piece of good news.
Thank you for your cooperation. You may stroll around the castle in the meantime. Ill be taking my leave first.
What about me? Im still left! Seeing that Chen Yu was about to leave, Under the Moon hopped up and down while pointing at himself. Im the winner! Is there a reward?
Right, I almost forgot. You are indeed the winner.
Nodding, Chen Yu bent down and picked up a Fight Pillow.
Ahahaha! Thats great!
The young man cheered. Just as he was about to stretch his hand to receive the Fight Pillow, Chen Yu suddenly smashed the pillow into his head three times consecutively.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Thud
The youth lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Hermione, drag him to the guest room as well. Let him sleep a while longer. Problems with the brain shouldnt be easy to cure.
Okay.
After doing all this, Chen Yu waved at the donation groups members before leaving the central courtyard together with Little Peach.
Removing his left glove, he looked at the bullet comments displayed on his watch. He then said, With this, the livestreams first segment is over. Next up will be the second segment. I wont reveal any information for now. Lets see if anyone can guess what Im trying to do?
The professors previously mentioned should get ready as well. I will be opening a portal to your respective institutions in another 15 minutes. For those who arent watching the livestream, I hope the institutions these individuals belong to can help notify them. Every professor is allowed to bring one assistant and three students. As for equipment, aside from dangerous objects, you are allowed to bring any item you want.
I will pause the livestream for now so that everyone can take a break and relax your eyes. We will meet again in 15 minutes.
After saying so, Chen Yu had the camera remain in position and observe Little Peach and himself walk up a flight of stairs and disappearing into the castles depths
After entering the Headmasters Towers study, Chen Yu removed the protective suit and changed back into his wizard robe. He then looked toward Little Peach and said, I wont be needing you for the next segment. You can go play in the Quidditch Stadium.
Really?!
Mhm. Make sure to wear your mask so that others dont get to see your true appearance.
You can rest assured! Little Peach nodded excitedly. She then mimicked Chen Yu and snapped her fingers.
Snap!
Immediately, a flying broom, which was transformed using an Auror mage, appeared between her legs.
Ill be leaving, then! After grabbing the wizard hat on the table, she opened the window and happily flew out of it like a witch.
Click.
Chen Yu reached out and closed the window. He then sat before the table, picked up a quill, and started writing the script for the livestreams second segment.
To enact his plan that would influence the whole of mankind, he had gathered the top-ranking scholars of the various industries from all over the world.
For example, the professor at Beijing Universitys Department of Physics and Medicine.
The professor at Tsinghua Universitys Materials Department.
The professor at Harbin Institute of Technologys Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
The professor at Wuhan Universitys Computer Science and Technology Department.
The professor at MITs Mathematics Department.
The professor at Cambridge Universitys Electronic Engineering Department and etc.
Every one of these individuals was a titan of their respective academic fields.
In the modern era where Newton had passed away and Einstein had entered the reincarnation cycle, these individuals were the pioneers of mankinds cutting-edge science and industry.
And now, under Chen Yus leadership, these bigshots would once again make numerous breakthroughs and lead mankind into a new era.
Chen Yu definitely couldnt let these bigshots look down on him during this momentous occasion. Hence, he needed to speak with style, wisdom, and preparation
Ten minutes later, Chen Yu picked up his script and gave it a few reads. He then walked out of the library with his opera mask on, returned to the main hall downstairs, and stood before the camera.
Its been 15 minutes already. Not only did the viewer count not drop, but it had even exceeded 14 million. I am really grateful for everyones support. Now, lets dispense with the nonsense and start the livestreams second segment.
[Welcome back!]
[My husband is still handsome even while wearing a wizard robe.]
[Stupid bitch, hes my husband!]
[Goddammit! Youre in the presence of over 10 million people! Cant you people speak civilly?!]
[Where did the female assistant go?]
[UP snuck away with the female assistant for 15 minutes, ehem]
[Everyone knows that it takes 13 minutes and 45 seconds to remove that suit of armor.]
[Fast.]
[The UP is really fast.]
[Sir, we recommend cutting it off here]
Amidst the commotion in the bullet comment section, Chen Yu quickly arrived back in the central courtyard.
There was nobody else present in the courtyard beside the two pandas and a zookeeper.
Hello, Headmaster. The zookeeper waved at Chen Yu.
Hello. Approaching the Interstellar Portal and calling up the virtual projection, Chen Yu quickly swiped his finger across the virtual globe while saying, Well go by order. First up is Beijing University.
As soon as he said so, the portal activated, and the spatial link was established.
Immediately, a metal arch appeared on Beijing Universitys east field.
At this time, quite a few people had already gathered on the field. Standing at the forefront of this crowd was none other than the professors and academicians Chen Yu mentioned before.
It appeared!
Its here! Its here!
Unbelievable
The crowd immediately burst into commotion.
Hooking a finger at the professors beyond the portal, Chen Yu said, Come here.
The professors promptly returned to their senses and carefully stepped through the spatial film that separated the two spaces.
Heavens
Its nature is somewhat similar to vector space.
It should be explained by mathematical measures
Seeing that most of these elderly people had actually started a discussion on the spot, Chen Yu lightly coughed and said, There are many opportunities to hold a discussion later on. Please dont delay the arrival of other participants.
Hearing this, the professors hurriedly stood aside together with their assistants and students.
Please dont walk around or touch the giant pandas. Even after professors from other countries arrive, please remain silent so that we can progress efficiently.
After giving out some instructions, Chen Yu started manipulating the virtual globe under everyones curious gaze. He then established a spatial link to the field Harbin Institute of Technologys Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Buzz!
Space within the metal arch flickered and transformed into a world of ice and snow.
Currently, a lanky middle-aged man stood alone in the snowy field with a leather bag in hand.
Why are you alone?
M-My students are on vacation.
What about the faculty?
Pointing at the building behind him, the lanky man said, Its too cold. Theyre all watching from inside.
Quickly come over, then. Chen Yu stepped back and made way for the lanky man.
In response, the lanky man hurriedly crossed the portal and wiped the frost and snow off his beard. He then scanned the familiar faces nearby, bowed to Chen Yu, and stretched out his hand. Greetings, UP. I am Bai Jicheng.
Hello Raising his head, Chen Yu asked, Why are you so tall?
I-I dont know

Chapter 243 C Human Civilizations Shining Moment (3)
By the time Chen Yu had gone through his list of people to teleport, the spacious central courtyard had already become packed full of people.
After verifying that every professor and scholar on his list was present, Chen Yu powered down the Interstellar Portal and walked up the elevated platform. He then deliberately scanned his audience with a profound gaze before saying, Everyone present is a top expert or educator of the various fields. I would like to thank you for making time out of your busy schedule to respond to my invitation.
Everyone here isnt a bureaucrat, and neither are we holding a meeting here. Normally, I should dispense with the nonsense and get to the point. However, aside from everyone here, there are also more than 14 million ordinary people paying attention to us. Most of these people are unclear about the development and difficulties faced by the world, technology, and human civilization. Therefore, some verbosity cannot be avoided.
Placing both hands behind his back, Chen Yu recalled the script in his mind and continued, Through the Hubble Space Telescope, we know that the universe originated from the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago. If we consider 13 billion years to be 13 years, then the sun had only appeared 4.5 years ago. And as we know, the earliest living organisms appeared on Earth four years ago, while the dinosaurs went extinct about three weeks ago.
The earliest Homo sapiens began to evolve in Africa 50 minutes ago. The Industrial Revolution occurred six seconds ago. The First World War occurred two seconds ago. As for the Second World War, the birth of nuclear weapons, Hiroshima becoming a unit of measurement, humans landing on the moon, the electronic revolution, the information explosion, and etc., these are events that just occurred within the previous second.
[Humans are awesome!]
[Awesome+1]
[Whats the relationship between Hubble and the Big Bang? How do you know that the universe is 13 billion years old?]
[I was born 0.001 seconds ago.]
[UP! Check and see whether my kneeling posture is according to standard.]
Through this time comparison, ordinary people would easily misconceive that
Looking at the camera, Chen Yu stretched out a finger and continued, Human technology has just experienced an explosive start, and the flames of this explosion will continue for a very, very long time.
Unfortunately
Ordinary people arent aware that behind this brilliance is endless despair.
His voice gradually becoming lower, Humanity has already entered a bottleneck period, and the scientific name of this bottleneck period is called a developmental disorder.
At present, you and I are experiencing changes almost every day in our lives. This goes especially true for the people of China. However, this isnt a technology explosion. Instead, it is just the rapid development of information technology, one of the many technology branches.
In reality, the development of energy, power, materials, semiconductors, and fundamental physics has slowed to the point where ordinary people cant even understand it. It is not an exaggeration to say that development in these aspects has completely stagnated.
Audience in front of the screen, have you noticed it yet? Have you seen the darkness hidden under that brilliance?
For example, Moores Law has long expired; the carrying capacity of space shuttles has not improved ever since Apollo programs Saturn V; the theory of relativity and quantum theory created by Einstein over a hundred years ago still remains at the forefront of science even in 2020; 95% of humanity still doesnt understand the classical mechanics created by Newton several hundred years ago
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu shifted his gaze from the camera to the crowd before him, Im sure you all have a much better idea of these problems.
In response, the numerous professors present exchanged glances with each other and remained silent.
In Chinas textbooks, there is a story describing how long America and the Soviet Union have taken to develop nuclear weapons, while China has successfully accomplished the same feat in just a few short years. Similarly, there are computers, fighter jets, missiles, satellites, computer chips, and etc.
While I admit these advances are remarkable, after all is said and done, China has simply followed the path of its predecessors and had taken many shortcuts. Few people knew that before the Manhattan Project, there was no theoretical support for the realization of nuclear bombs. This also leads me to the next thing I wish to talk aboutthe difficulty of creating new technology.
The most critical and challenging aspect of developing new technology is not the investment of manpower, energy, money, or time. It is that we are unsure whether this technology can be realized.
Take the controllable nuclear fusion that has been studied globally, for example. This is the most critical technology for the continuation of human civilization bar none. However, as funny as it is, thus far, the academic community still isnt sure whether controllable nuclear fusion is only something that looks good on paper but is actually a useless perpetual motion machine.
In simpler terms, its like trying to answer a question from a mentally disabled teacher. We arent exactly sure if this question is inherently wrong. And once we start trying to answer this question, it is likely that we wont obtain an answer even at the end of our lifetimes. This is the technology swamp. There are numerous bottomless potholes in this field, and a single misstep could lead to our demise.
After speaking up to this point, Chen Yu momentarily fell into a daze as he thought of his teachers in Sixth High
A small fork in the technology tree can lead to the disintegration of a superpower.
A big fork in the technology tree can even cause the demise of human civilization.
After hearing all this, does everyone still think that humanitys technological development is in an explosive period?
Stepping off the platform, Chen Yu beckoned the crowd to follow after him.
Without hesitation, the numerous professors followed closely after him. They left the courtyard, walked through a corridor, bypassed the main hall, walked out of the castle, and arrived before the entrance of a small, independent castle.
The legacy of modern scholars such as Einstein has been exhausted, and humanitys development had inevitably reached a barrier.
This also explains the Fermi paradox. With how vast the galaxy is, why hasnt it been occupied by technologically developed aliens yet? Why havent we seen any aliens until now?
Because continuous technology explosions do not exist. Most civilizations will eventually be wiped out in the layers of scientific barriers.
Even we humans have been nearly locked in this tiny solar system by physics, the speed of light, energy, genes, astronomy, communications, and other fields of science
Why did I add the word nearly, you ask?
Halting his footsteps, Chen Yu stretched out both his hands and placed them against the castles doors. Smiling, he said, The answer is here.
Creak
As the wooden doors parted, an aura tainted by age and the vicissitudes of life flooded out of the gap between them!
The pupils of every professor present suddenly dilated.
The government officials, scientific researchers, and even ordinary viewers in front of the screen also involuntarily reacted in shock.
Inside the castle was
A sea of books.
It was a sea of books that stretched on endlessly row after row!
And through the high-definition image captured by the camera, everyone could see the text labeling the books on the frontmost bookshelves.
[Atmospheric Nanobot Dispersal]
[L-Gate Insight]
[Nanite Repair System]
[Synthetics]
[Dark Matter Power]
[Entropic Recursion]
[Mega-Engineering]
[Extradimensional Weaponry]
[Selected Lineages]
[Ascension Theory]
[]
Turning around, Chen Yu opened his arms and faced the camera. And in a sonorous and powerful voice, he asked, Do you see it?
As a childcare toy, the castle naturally contains scientific books for children and adolescents in the 32nd century.
1
And this
This is human civilizations shining moment!
Chapter 244 - Transdimensional Academy Established! (1)
Chapter 244 C Transdimensional Academy Established! (1)
We shouldve long since figured out what could be stored within the library of a 32nd-century childrens toy.
After waiting for the hundreds of professors to recover from their stupor, Chen Yu stepped into the library and pointed at the thousands of bookshelves enveloped in a quaint atmosphere. He then said, When this HogwartsSuper Floating Castle took to the skies, I had been considering how I should make use of it. I have thought of using it for myself. I have also thought of using it as a tourist destination.
However, when I entered this library
I discovered that compared to high-tech products such as the Weather Control Module, Type-K Beast Armor, and Vacuum Tube Maglev Train, this seemingly ordinary toy is many times more valuable. The time of its appearance is also perfect. At least now, I have enough power to protect it.
Reaching out and grabbing a thick book titled Organic Probability Theory, Chen Yu flipped to a page in the middle. He then showed the pages text to the camera and said, Can you see it? These books arent decoration. The knowledge recorded in them is factual.
Normally, in the distant 32nd century, information would be stored in various electronic devices. However, to give users a more immersive feeling, the Lego Company has cleverly stored this information in books. I have to say that the companys focus on quality and details is the fortune of all humanity.
[This is too awesome!]
[All hail Lego!]
[You can buy the solar system with these books.]
[If there are aliens that can make contact with us, they might offer a star system for this information.]
[Boring. Too boring]
[We have two gaseous planets nearby and a black hole that is within an observable and usable range. Combine with the knowledge from over a thousand years into the future, humanitys development is going to skyrocket.]
[I know what the UPs plan is now]
Encouraged by their students and assistants, the professors standing outside the castle finally couldnt hold back their urges any longer and tentatively stepped into the library.
There are three floors in the library. Putting the book back, Chen Yu turned to face the crowd of professors and said, We are currently on the first floor, and this floor contains basic scientific knowledge and cultural and artistic works. The second floor contains encyclopedias and books on cutting-edge science and technology such as the Encyclopedia Britannica and DK Science History. These books are updated to the year 3170.
However, due to special reasons, I will not open the second floor for access. While we can use future technology for reference, we need to be the ones to develop the form of human civilizations society.
The third floor is filled with small tools for children to experiment and play with. Of course, the accuracy and technological content of these tools far exceed our current understanding.
By now, Im sure everyone can already guess what my plan is.
And that is to create the core of human civilization, scientific and technological development, and academic researchthe Transdimensional Academy!
Buzz!
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, the professors could no longer restrain themselves and promptly started a heated discussion with each other.
Texts also flooded the bullet comment section of the ten livestream rooms.
However, Chen Yu did not stop these people from venting their emotions. Instead, he walked along the central aisle and arrived on top of the circular, elevated platform located in the librarys center. He then quietly observed everyone until they stopped talking on their own accord.
In Harry Potter, Hogwarts is an academy. As we have seen, this castle is also most suitable to be used as an academy. There are plenty of scientific and technological theories and experimental equipment available in this library, and these things can help rid mankind of technologys unpredictability. Since we already have the answer, we wont have to worry about making mistakes while answering questions. Just like the development of Chinas science and technology back then, once we know that certain technology is 100% achievable, all we need to do is conduct trials until we succeed.
Resting both hands on the podium, Chen Yu remained silent for a moment as he gave his audience some time to process his words. He then continued, Since we already have such a sturdy foundation, the Transdimensional Academy naturally cannot be similar to other higher education institutions. Its authority and standard must be higher than any other school. It will become the shrine of mankinds academia.
Therefore, the Transdimensional Academy cannot belong to a single country. It belongs to the whole of mankind. It must remain as an objective, neutral, and third-party institution. This is also the reason why I have relocated the floating castle to the Pacific Oceans equator.
The Transdimensional Academy will not cultivate social talents. It will only cultivate research talents. No international event can involve the Academy, and all forms of ideology will disappear in this place. Aside from knowledge and science, no impurities are allowed on the floating castle. At the very least, there shall be none on the surface. I want to create a utopia in academia.
After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at the magnificent library around him and stared at the professors. If you want to come into contact with the wealth here and pursue the limits and mysteries of science, then give up all of your duties to the institutions and enterprises you work for and become a professor, mentor, scholar, and student of the Transdimensional Academy. The fruits of your research will be shared with all of mankind. And like Newton and Einstein, your names will be remembered and revered by history.
Whether it is the extension of the human lifespan, space colonization, or exploration of the boundless universe, you will be the first pioneers to try it.
Civilization will shine for you. After saying so, Chen Yu couldnt help but inwardly added, Of course, I will still shine the brightest
[Host, youre awesome!]
[Nintendo No. UP, youre the ruler of the world!]
[Harvesting a bunch of scientists without spending a penny.]
[XX University: I showed you respect and sent my professors to you, yet youre going to bleed my dry?!]
[A moment of silence for the various universities, lololol]
[Im going to consider applying for Transdimensional U.]
[What about the matter of funding?]
[The whole worlds governments are his investors! Distribution of the Academys research results will most likely be based on each countrys investment. In the end, the Academy still has nothing to do with small fries like us.]
[Let me tell you a joke. Underdeveloped countries are not made up of humans.]
[It is impossible for ideologies to disappear completely. However, such an environment is undoubtedly a heaven for scholars.]
[Science and knowledge are the driving force of everything. I believe it wont be long before the Transdimensional Academy has the power to overwhelm the world.]
[Youre overthinking things. Even now, the UP can already beat up the world]
[These are two different matters altogether.]
How about it? Straightening his back, Chen Yu stretched out three fingers and said, You can gain access to knowledge available in the next thousand years without any hard work. Are you willing to give up your previous positions, statuses, and even national borders? Ill only give you three minutes to consider
Im willing! x378
Chen Yu:
S-Shouldnt you think it through first?
No need! x375.
Only a few professors present were taking the time to consider Chen Yus proposal carefully. As for the rest, they agreed to it without hesitation. Some had even pulled out their satellite phones to contact their respective workplaces and resigned on the spot.
M-Mr. King
At this time, a white female professor from Harvard University stepped forward hesitantly.
What do you want to say? Chen Yu asked.
I-I still know many friends who are engaged in scientific research. They dont wish to work hard anymore, either.
Hearing this, Chen Yu pulled out a file and a quill and passed them to the female professor. Write.
Thank you, Mr. King!
Youre still calling me mister?
Thank you, Headmaster!
Chapter 245 - Transdimensional Academy Established! (2)
Chapter 245 C Transdimensional Academy Established! (2)
Regardless of what kind of mood the worlds various academic institutions were currently in, Chen Yu felt animated right now.
After he had sought confirmation multiple times, 362 out of the 385 professors present had agreed to reside within the castle and become the Transdimensional Academys permanent lecturers and researchers. He had also set up strict regulations for using the library, allowing the professors to read only the academic papers relevant to their field of expertise.
Meanwhile, Hermione would serve as the librarys curator.
Regarding the enrollment of new students, Chen Yu decided to issue invitation letters to high school students with outstanding performance worldwide every January, April, July, and October. The invited students would then board the floating castle to undergo written examinations and interviews. If they passed both of them, they would officially become a student of the Academy. They would also get to stay within the Academy and would not have to pay any school fees.
Chen Yu had carefully calculated the dates for his enrollment periods. For example, Chinas College Entrance Examination would release students test scores on June 25th. During the July enrollment period, all he needed to do was to cull the various provinces and cities top students.
By doing so, he could rely on the various countries education systems to uncover top talents and attract them into his own academy for free.
To put it simply, he would basically be poaching the talents of the various universities
The recruitment of researchers would operate in the same manner as well.
If a university or government was unwilling to let go of these researchers, he would simply pay these organizations a visit, have a chat with them and achieve a win-win situation in a friendly, docile, and peaceful manner.
Of course, he would still have to discuss his plans finer details with the various governments. However, he felt that with the various nations wisdom and understanding, he felt that his plan would progress relatively smoothly.
I will stop talking about the Academys establishment for the time being. Professors who have agreed to the job, please follow the Auror mages to the auditorium. Department Head Hermione will allocate dormitories and officers for you and your students. Your dormitories will be set in Hogsmeade Village outside the castle to make better use of the space available. Please forgive me for this.
As for professors who have given up on the job, please gather in the central courtyard and wait to be teleported.
Action.
After driving the crowd away, Chen Yu looked at the camera and crossed his fingers, making his iconic gesture. Friends and viewers in front of the screen, this is the end for todays livestream. There shouldnt be any other additional livestreams this month. The next time we meet will be during the eighth official livestream in three weeks.
As for whats going to happen next, there will be many important steps related to the Transdimensional Academy. They will be long and tedious, so there is no need to broadcast them.
Liu Cixins novel, The Rural Teacher, has explained the great significance of education. The essence of genes is duplication, the essence of life is reproduction, the essence of civilization is inheritance, and the essence of inheritance iseducation.
I wasnt smart when I was young, but I know how important education is. It had taken humans thousands of years to create the education systems available today. Going down the annals of history? That doesnt matter to me.
Compared to fame, what I want more is to see human civilization continue to grow and become the brightest light in this vast universe.
Meanwhile, this school and I are both willing to become the first fuel for this light.
[Im in tears.]
[Im moved.]
[UP, youre a good role model.]
[I am proud of mankind!]
[Dont leave us]
[I am also willing to burn myself for civilization.]
[Ive decided! Im going to get into the Transdimensional Academy!]
[UPs existence is mankinds fortune.]
[I keep feeling that something is amiss, but Ill just say the host is awesome for now.]
[Hubby, youre the best! (?_?)]
This is it for todays livestream.
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu smiled behind his mask.
Let us meet again in the eighth official livestream.
After Chen Yu said so, the screens of the livestreams 14 million viewers simultaneously darkened.
Its finally over!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu removed his mask and sat on the wooden chair by the librarys window. After resting for a short while, he made his way up to the second floor, stood before a bookshelf, and quietly stared at the sign above the bookshelf.
Civilizations Shining Moment C Childrens Edition.
These were the words written on the sign.
However, there was not a single journal stored on the bookshelf.
This bookshelf was also the sole bookshelf in the entire library that was empty. It was evident that the contents here had been taken away deliberately.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time. Putting his mask back on, he turned around, went downstairs, and left the library. Its still not time to rest yet.
Standing by the librarys entrance was an Auror mage disguised as a security robot, and the robot blankly stared at his disappearing back
When Chen Yu returned to the castle complexs central courtyard, he found the 23 professors unwilling to take a post in the Transdimensional Academy. Currently, these professors were having quiet discussions with each other. Meanwhile, the students of these professors stood in a corner with complicated expressions on these faces.
Almost all of these students wanted to stay in the castle. However, as they couldnt change the mind of their bosses, they had no choice but to let matters drift.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. King.
Hello, UP.
Upon seeing Chen Yu appearing, the professors awkwardly greeted him.
Dont feel burdened. It is normal for everyone to have their own ideas. I respect your decision, Chen Yu calmly said while generously waving his hand. Please remember that you are all academic giants. The Transdimensional Academys doors are forever open for you. Then, I will now send you all back.
M-Mr. King. A middle-aged black professor suddenly raised his hand. After hesitating for some time, he gritted his teeth and said, S-Since youve said so, I-I-ve decided to work in the Academy.
Regretting your decision?
Mhm.
Hehe, too late! Chen Yu suddenly laughed. Are you dreaming? You think you can join and leave whenever you want?
B-But didnt you say Academys doors are always open
It might remain open forever, but I never said I would let you in. Now, line up and get ready to leave.
The black professor:
Everyone else:
Roughly 10 minutes later, Chen Yu finished sending the professors away. He then patted the non-existent dust off his hands and said to himself, If you cant even understand polite remarks, why bother doing scientific research?
Following this, Chen Yu reached out to the virtual map and entered the United Nations headquarters coordinates. He then chose to establish the spatial link and took a few steps back.
Next up was the last step in establishing the Transdimensional Academy.
Buzz!
Three seconds later, space stopped distorting, and a plaza decorated appeared with national flags appeared within the metal arch.
At this time, the plaza was crowded with people dressed in suits and leather shoes or ethnic formal attire.
Upon seeing the Interstellar Portals appearance, everyone in the plaza promptly tensed up.
Without any need for Chen Yu to say anything, the crowd promptly walked into the portal in an orderly manner and arrived inside the floating castle.
Hello!
Hello, UP.
Its an honor to meet you.
Im from Korea
The representatives lined up and greeted Chen Yu one after another.
Greetings, fat sheep. Nodding, Chen Yu said, Im very sorry for the delay.
F-Fat sheep? Chinas representative couldnt help but be taken aback.
Hm? Oh! I mean, to welcome you all, we have prepared a specially roasted lamb in the cafeteria. Pointing in the cafeterias direction, Chen Yu said, If you dont mind, we can talk after the meeting.
We
Well, seeing that you guys seem to be in a hurry, lets start the meeting first, then. After saying so, Chen Yu spontaneously pointed to the second-floor conference hall and said, Everyone, follow me.
The representatives:
Chapter 246 - Manipulation
Chapter 246 C Manipulation
After leading the crowd to the castles second-floor conference hall, Chen Yu sat in the seat of honor and raised his hand, Everyone, please sit.
Chen Yu had labeled every seat with a small national flag, so the various countries representatives only needed to find their corresponding seats.
The ones that sat closest to Chen Yu were Americas and Chinas representative.
Seeing this, everyone present couldnt help but wonder if the seating arrangement expressed Chen Yus tendency and attitude toward the various nations.
In reality, Chen Yu didnt put too much thought into the matter at all. He merely sorted the seats based on his opinion of each countrys national power.
After waiting for the representatives to be seated, Chen Yu straightened his mask and went straight to the point. Im on a tight schedule, so Ill skip with the opening remarks. Everyone, please look at these documents.
After saying so, Chen Yu distributed the stack of documents on the table to everyone.
Upon receiving the documents, the representatives quickly glanced at them, and excitement instantly surfaced on their faces.
As stated in the document, I plan to build a large island beneath the floating city. The island will cover an area of 820 square kilometers, of which 60% will consist of greenery, 20% will consist of the Transdimensional Academys land, and 5% will consist of the land used for ports and airports. As for the remaining 15%, it will be reserved for the various governments to establish offices, commercial areas, tourist spots, and residential areas.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu gave everyone half a minute to digest his words. He then continued, The island will permanently remain as a neutral zone. It will not participate in or ask about any international affairs. Likewise, no international affairs can interfere with the island. The islands territorial sea will extend up to 20 nautical miles away from it. Flying across the island without permission is also prohibited.
This
The representatives turned to look at each other. The assistants standing behind them also started having hushed discussions among themselves.
However, despite seeing these actions, Chen Yus tone remained unchanging as he continued, The Academy will independently handle the islands construction. The various governments will fund the islands facilities, infrastructure, management, and operation. You will also have to bear the professors salaries, experimental expenses, students accommodation, and other Academy expenses. In return, you will receive income corresponding to the capital you have contributed. The income includes basic commercial income, intangible income, scientific and technological achievements released by the Academy, and industrial output income.
After waiting for Chen Yu to finish speaking, the Japanese representative acted decisively and raised his hand, We are willing to bear all construction and operating costs!
Seeing this, Americas representative sent a cold stare at Japans representative. And after a moment of silence, he said, America should pay for it.
Russia is also willing to bear all the expenses.
We should appropriately distribute the costs to the various countries. A hegemonic monopoly is not desirable.
France is willing to pay twice the capital.
Well double that!
??
Quiet. Everyone, be quiet, Chen Yu said as he scanned the audience. He had long since expected the various nations to react with such enthusiasm. After clearing his throat, he returned everyones attention to himself and said, For the sake of human civilizations technological development, no one country should monopolize the island.
Hence, after careful consideration, Ive decided to use the silent auction method to decide the distribution. Everyone will write down the amount they are willing to contribute to the islands construction on a piece of paper, and you will receive income from the island according to this contribution. You are not allowed to communicate or negotiate with other countries officials during this process. However, you can contact your superiors. You only have five minutes to make a decision. With this, we can ensure fairness to the greatest extent.
Are you sure this is to ensure fairness?!
The representatives secretly cursed in their hearts.
Due to all parties competitiveness, to ensure they acquired the maximum profit, everyone would definitely raise their bid as much as possible. However, this would most likely lead to an overbid, and they might end up paying 100 billion for something that only cost 10 billion.
Moreover, Chen Yu had only given them five minutes to make a decision. It would be difficult for the various governments to conduct secret negotiations and reach a mutual agreement within such a short period.
This person
Chinas representative squeezed his thumb irritably. He found this situation to be challenging to deal with.
Chen Yus ploy was both immature and straightforward. However, due to the resources and power he held, they couldnt go against him even after seeing through his crude scheme
Well, then. You only have five minutes. Please contact your superiors and request for authorization as soon as possible.
After saying so, Chen Yu stood up and summoned Hermione to take charge of the conference. He then leisurely walked out of the room, entered the classroom next door, and sat on the podium while watching the floating clouds outside
Five minutes later, Chen Yu returned to the conference hall and sat in his seat. He then scanned his audience before saying, Five minutes have passed. I believe everyone shouldve already conducted your respective researchers with so much time. Now, time to start bidding.
Snap!
Along with a snap of Chen Yus fingers, a piece of paper made out of nanoworms appeared before each of the various representatives.
After a moment of hesitation, the various representatives took out their pens and wrote down the largest amount they were authorized to use with complex expressions on their faces.
After the representatives wrote their bids, the papers automatically flew to Chen Yu.
Picking up the 45 quotes, Chen Yu quickly flipped through them. Immediately, a smile that stretched from ear to ear appeared underneath his mask.
Youll never know how fat a sheep is until you slaughter it
At this point, he had both the necessary workforce and funds to enact his plan.
Now, all he was missing was the 820-square-kilometer island.
However, the island-building ship had already arrived beneath the floating castle. All he needed to do was to draw up a blueprint and wait for the island-building ship to construct the island.
The Sword Island he constructed a few months ago only had 40 square kilometers. Moreover, the island was even constructed in shallow waters.
Meanwhile, even the Pacific Oceans equatorial regions shallowest point reached over 1,000 meters below sea level. Hence, the construction projects progress would take much more time than before.
Also, due to the large size of the required cofferdam, drawing water out of the cofferdam would easily cause the structure to collapse due to the horizontal forces from the surrounding seawater. Hence, Chen Yu had no choice but to go with the more stable water-filling method. This would undoubtedly reduce construction speed once more.
According to Dimwit, the island-building ships artificial intelligence, it would take nearly 25 days for the islands construction to be completed. After taking into account the time the various governments would need to deliver the necessary resources and further decorate the island, it would already be mid-to-early 2021 by the time the island was ready for operation.
After sending off the representatives who were hovering between joy and sadness, Chen Yu ordered Hermione to open an airport on Hogwarts railway to facilitate the transportation of goods and personnel. Afterward, seeing as it was still early, he made his way to the library and started working on a secret project
Boom!
After shutting the doors to the library, Chen Yu entered a private study with Hermione and the nine Auror mages. He then sat before the study table that had a mountain of books piled atop it.
These books contained scientific knowledge available from 2021 to 2100. He intended to hand these books to the various professors.
Meanwhile, what Chen Yu planned to do was to censor the names on these books!
Formula names, annotations, scientific research stories, etc. He would censor anything that had a persons name on it.
Reaching out, he grabbed a book titled Interesting Illustration of Integration of Mechatronics Features. He then turned to the books first page and carefully read it.
According to the illustrations, the integration of electromechanical characteristics was a revolutionary breakthrough for the electromechanical industry, and this achievement was made in 2022.
The person responsible for this breakthrough was named Bai Jicheng.
Meanwhile, inside the Transdimensional Academy, only one electromechanical professor had permission to borrow this book.
As luck would have it, this person was also named Bai Jicheng.
Forcibly suppressing the dreadful sensation welling up within his heart, Chen Yu picked up a pen with his trembling right hand and censored off Bai Jichengs name from the book
Chapter 247 - : Happy Life with Chen Sanke (1)
Chapter 247 C Happy Life with Chen Sanke (1)
Its half-past one. Im heading back first.
Raising his wrist and looking at the time, Chen Yu put down his pen and stretched his waist.
Chen Yike and Chen Erke had piano and taekwondo classes at two oclock in the afternoon. Once they were gone, that would leave his six-year-old little sister home alone. Hence, someone must be home to take care of her.
Lord Headmaster, please go ahead. We will continue our work here, Hermione said, smiling.
Once the donation groups members wake up, have a few professors in the medicine department inspect their records. We might as well use them for something.
Okay.
Also, for that Under the Moon fellow, gift him a pillow once he wakes up.
Okay.
Standing up, Chen Yu shook his sore right hand. He then put on his mask and walked toward the librarys entrance.
However, after taking just a few steps, he suddenly slapped his head and asked, By the way, where did Little Peach go?
Shes currently at the Quidditch stadium, Hermione answered.
Shes still playing?
No. Shes currently laying on the ground without moving.
What? Startled, Chen Yu asked, Did she come into danger?
No. Hermione shook her head. She then hesitated for a moment before continuing, I-It seems she ran out of power.
Chen Yu:
The Auror mages:
After a long silence, Chen Yu walked out of the library and made his way to the Quidditch stadium. Upon arriving, he quickly noticed Little Peach lying on the ground.
Walking forward, Chen Yu picked up a small tree branch and poked Little Peachs head with it. Sighing, he said, You really are something.
Mister~ Chen~ My battery is a little low~ I-Ill be charged up soon~
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Chen Yu picked up Little Peach and returned to the castle complex.
Mr. Chen~ Are you rescuing~ me~?
Im disposing of garbage.
After passing through the east gate, Chen Yu made his way to the Headmasters Tower. He then entered the studys secret room and placed Little Peach into her maintenance pod.
In just five short minutes, the pods door opened, and Little Peach came jumping out of it. She then cheered loudly, Its so fun! Lets play again next time!
Youre fully charged already?
No, but five minutes of charging is enough to last me half a month in standby mode. I can slowly charge up the rest using solar energy. Mr. Chen, lets play together next time! Its super fun!
Close your mouth and change your clothes. Its time to go home.
Oh
After changing into his casual clothing, Chen Yu ordered Hermione to carry the Interstellar Portal over to the Headmasters Tower. He then returned to his bedroom together with Little Peach.
Looking at the time, Chen Yu pulled out a set of documents and handed it to Little Peach. Didnt you say your hacking skills are good? Here. Search for all information on the internet regarding these marked professors. Make sure to include information on their personality, social relations, family situations, preferences, interests, etc. Tabulate the information.
No problem! Just wait for my results!
Afterward, Chen Yu quickly left his bedroom and walked into the living room.
Brother! What were you doing in your room?! Ive been shouting at you for so long just now! Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Chen Yike stomped her way toward Chen Yu in dissatisfaction. I thought you went out again. Its almost two oclock. Second Eldest and I are going to be late for class.
Isnt there five minutes left? Casually pulling out a 20-yuan note, Chen Yu said, Take it. Ride a taxi.
What have you been doing in your room during this period? There must be something going on!
There is, Chen Yu admitted without hesitation.
They were living under the same roof. There was no way he could hide his actions from Chen Yike, who had long since grown suspicious of him, forever.
What is it?
Im not telling you. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, I wont tell you even until the day I die.
Haha, how immature. Chen Yike rolled her eyes, pretending to be indifferent. She then grabbed Chen Erkes hand and said, Lets go.
Mhm, mhm! Chen Erke grunted in agreement, her eyes glued to her phones screen.
Stop playing! Pay attention to walking!
Wait! The zombies are coming soon! Let me plant the canno
Ill confiscate your phone if you continue playing! After dragging Chen Erke out of the house, Chen Yike glared at Chen Yu and sternly said, Make sure to look after Third Eldest! Make food for her.
Do you think I cant take care of a little girl? Dont you know I was the one who took care of you when you were small?
Mom said you lost me three times when I was a kid.
After saying so, Chen Yike closed the door contemptuously.
Boom!
Subconsciously taking two steps back, Chen Yu scratched his head and mumbled, It definitely wasnt just three times
Shuffling his way into the master bedroom, Chen Yu found Chen Sanke sleeping soundly while hugging the husky. Relaxing, he closed the door and sat on the living rooms sofa to rest.
Although he didnt participate in the pillow fight during todays livestream, he had consumed plenty of his mental energy. The moment he relaxed his body, exhaustion immediately enveloped him completely.
Lying down on Chen Erkes exclusive bed, Chen Yu propped up his legs and checked his watch for todays livestream income.
He had garnered a total of 14.25 million viewers across the ten broadcasting platforms, and they netted him 475 points.
Combined with his leftover 726 points, he now had a total of 1,201 points!
Just as he had previously expected, along with the increase in his popularity, the amount of points he obtained also increased.
Of course, once he established the Transdimensional Academy, his points expenditure would also increase. After all, he would have to purchase many items that he wouldnt personally require to serve as the Academys research material.
For example, there was the 5-TCV Injection he bought last week. It was very suitable for conducting a reverse analysis of the human brains structure.
After inspecting his Profile page, Chen Yu visited the Transdimensional Stores page and gave it a quick look. Finding nothing of interest to him, he turned off his watch and pulled out his phone to browse the latest news.
Due to Transdimensional Reviews growing fame, at least 30 million people knew of the channel now. Hence, Chen Yu could now boldly search the internet for news relating to himself.
After browsing for 10 minutes or so, Chen Yu could sense the governments powerlessness in blocking information.
Compared to major news events, his livestreams were continuously updated. There would be a major product review once a month. There were also smaller product reviews mixed in once every few weeks. In turn, this allowed his channel to retain its popularity.
However, this situation also increased the governments difficulty in blocking information.
The traditional methods of removing video news, keyword filtering, and interrogating specific individuals were no longer useful in this scenario.
Chen Yu could faintly sense that the time he would detonate the entire world was drawing close.
Just like a cracked dam, so long as one of the dams many cracks could no longer withstand the pressure, it would result in a chain collapse.
It seems Ill have to be as low-key as possible for future livestreams.
Sighing, Chen Yu exited the web browser, bent over, and grabbed a bag of potato chips Chen Sanke had hidden underneath the sofa. He then started eating the chips while browsing Bilibili.
Crunch, crunch
After finishing the chips, he went to the fridge and grabbed the pack of chocolate biscuits hidden behind it.
Crunch, crunch
After exterminating the biscuits, he approached the vase beside the TV cabinet and pulled out a carton of Wangzi milk.
Gulp, gulp
Afterward, he found seaweed, durian candy, nuts, rice crackers, creamed buns, hawthorn milk drink
He left nothing for Chen Sanke.
Burp.
After satiating himself, Chen Yu wiped his hands on Chen Sankes bed sheet and tossed 90% of the garbage he made into the trash can. As for the remaining 10%, he stuffed half under Chen Erkes pillow and the other half into Chen Yikes room.
A happy life is that simple
Chapter 248 - Happy Life with Chen Sanke (2)
Chapter 248 C Happy Life with Chen Sanke (2)
Big Brother, d-did Big Sisters leave for class?
At half-past two in the afternoon, Chen Sanke dazedly walked out of the bedroom while dragging the huskys ear with her left and rubbing her eyes with her right hand.
Mhm. Chen Yu quickly wiped off the food residue stuck to the corners of his mouth and nodded. Theyre gone.
Letting out a yawn, Chen Sanke raised her left leg and sat on the husky. She then smacked the huskys bum and shouted, Yah!
Awooo!
The husky let out a long howl before dragging Chen Sanke up to Chen Yu.
Big Brother, what do you think of my mount?
Taking a look around, Chen Sanke dazedly said, Were the only ones left.
Mhm.
Do you know how to take care of children?
Yes.
Why are you still lying down, then? Why arent you playing with me?
Scram. Turning away, Chen Yu pulled out the TV remove and said, Go play with the dog.
Lowering her head, Chen Sanke looked at the husky underneath her for a moment. She then reached out, grabbed Chen Yus hand, and shook it, Play with me! The dog isnt as fun as you!
Smack!
Chen Yu sent a smack to Chen Sankes forehead. Are you itching for a beating? Dont speak if you cant do it properly!
It hurts! Chen Sanke held her forehead aggrievedly, her eyes reddening.
An elder brother is like a father. Now that mom and dad arent home, and your elder sisters are out, Ill teach you what a fathers authority is. Sitting up, Chen Yu sternly said, Go play by yourself. If you dont want to play, then do your homework.
Unconvinced, Chen Sanke pouted, T-Thats not how you look after children!
This is my way of doing things, so bear with it.
I-Ill treat you to snacks, so will you play with me?
Snacks Chen Yu subconsciously rubbed his belly. Shaking his head, he said, No thanks, Im full.
Hmph! Chen Sanke turned her head away angrily. She then rode away on the husky while saying, Ill eat them myself, then.
Hearing this, Chen Yu laid back on the sofa once more and prophetically covered his ears.
The next moment
Wahhhh!!!
Chen Sanke suddenly burst into tears.
After waiting for the peak of the sound waves to pass, Chen Yu relaxed his hands. While changing the TV channel, he casually asked, Whats the matter?
M-My snacks disappeared again! Wahhh
Are you sure theyre gone? Look carefully. Did you forget where you hid them? Check if there are any in Second Eldests bed.
With tears rolling down her cheeks, Chen Sanke quickly jumped off her mount, ran up to Chen Erkes makeshift bed, and flipped the pillow and bedding. Very quickly, she found a biscuit bag underneath Chen Erkes pillow.
Wahhh!! Its her! Its her! Its her again!
What?
Chen Erke! I knew it was her! Chen Sanke stomped her feet angrily. She then picked up the pillow and hit the sofa. Ill beat her to death! Ill beat her to death!
Stop, calm down. Chen Yu rubbed Chen Sankes head and soothed her. Since youve determined that its your second sisters the thief, the most important thing to do now is to quickly count your losses.
W-What are losses?
Im talking about how many snacks you lost.
Mhm!
Nodding, Chen Sanke staggered to her several hiding spots. However, the more she searched, the more tears she shed.
Gone
Theyre all gone
This is gone as well
Everythings gone Wahh
Everythings gone? Impossible! How can they all be gone?
Theyre all gone! Chen Sanke sat on the ground and wailed even harder.
Seeing this, Chen Yu had the invisible floating camera start taking shots of Chen Sanke, permanently storing this joyful, happy, and positive scene forever.
Theres no helping it, then. Cry your sorrows away. Lying back on the sofa, Chen Yu clenched his fist and said, You mustnt let your second sister off the hook once she comes home!
I want to beat her!
Not enough! Louder!
I want to beat her!!
Good luck! Big Brother will forever support you!
After saying so, Chen Yu switched to a comfortable posture and resumed watching TV.
But
After crying for several minutes, Chen Sanke stood up and wiped her tears away. She then tilted her head and wondered, But Second Sis eats less than me. How How did she finish so many snacks?
Chen Yu:
The husky lying on the balcony watching the fun:
After silence enveloped the living room for a while, Chen Sanke slowly shifted her gaze toward Chen Yu and visually inspected him.
What are you looking at? Chen Yu asked.
Second Sis cant eat so much!
Makes sense!
Standing up, Chen Yu put on a solemn expression as he walked up to Chen Sanke. He then inspected his surroundings like a detective before saying, What you said makes sense. Theres no way Second Eldest can eat so much.
Who are the rest, then? Suspicion began filling Chen Sankes eyes as she looked at Chen Yu.
This isnt a trivial problem. Chen Yu stroked his chin, a profound look appearing in his eyes. Who has a bigger appetite than Second Eldest?
Me.
Whos appetite is larger than yours, then?
Uu Big Sis.
Who spends the most time in the living room together with Second Eldest, then?
Big Sis. Chen Sankes gaze gradually shifted toward the door to Chen Yikes room.
Go on. Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu asked, Aside from Second Eldest, who else has the most interest toward your snacks?
Big Sis! Chen Sankes thoughts gradually cleared up.
Second Eldest might not be able to eat so many snacks, but what if she had an accomplice? Wouldnt she be able to finish them, then?
Yes!
In that case, the person most likely to work together with Second Eldest is
Big Sis!! Chen Sankes face flushed red with anger.
Thats likely the case! Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu played Detective Conans background music. Holmes said that once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth! However, we still have to find evidence to be sure.
After saying so, Chen Yu grabbed Chen Sankes hand and walked up to Chen Yikes bedroom. He then turned the doorknob and pushed against the door.
However, the door remained unmoving!
Its locked! Sneering, Chen Yu said, Something must be up!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chen Sanke impatiently brandished her fists against the door.
Calm down. Hugging his little sister, Chen Yu said, A wise detective can find clues even if he doesnt enter the crime scene. We can look through the crack of the door.
Hearing this, Chen Sanke hurriedly nodded and laid flat on the floor. She then stretched her chubby hand through the door gap, successfully grabbed onto something, and pulled it out.
The packaging of a Wang Wang Senbei Cracker!
Snap!
Snapping his fingers, Chen Yu said, Sure enough! You discovered the truth.
Wahh!!
Picking up the plastic packaging, Chen Sanke poured the leftover crumbs onto the floor. Immediately, sadness welled up within her heart, and she started crying once more.
There, there.
Hugging Chen Sanke tightly, Chen Yu sighed, This is fate. You should find better hiding places next time.
Uu U Somethings not right. Chen Sanke suddenly stopped crying. She then looked up at Chen Yu and asked, I hid them very well. E-Even if they found some, they shouldnt be able to find all of them, right?
Chen Yu:
How did they find all of them? Chen Sanke broke free from Chen Yus embrace. She then crouched down and frowned. Even the one inside the vase is gone
Could there bemore than meets the eye to this case? Chen Yu suddenly said.
What?
Third Eldest. Folding his arms around his chest, Chen Yu quietly said, Is there a possibility that, there arent just two people committing this crime? Instead
In a daze, Chen Sanke repeated, Instead
There are three criminals!
Three!
Thats right. Nodding, Chen Yu said, This is a carefully plotted conspiracy that hides the real mastermind of this crime!
Chen Sanke remained confused.
The mastermind might be present at the crime scene!
H-Here?
Yes. Lets dissect this complex plot to see its essence. Since youve hidden your snacks well, they shouldnt be found so easily unless an insider is involved. In that case Who else knows where you hid your snacks? Or to put it in another way, who has the ability to search for your snacks?
After saying so, Chen Yu turned his gaze toward the husky lazing on the balcony.
Meanwhile, realization also dawned upon Chen Sanke. She then followed Chen Yus gaze toward the husky and slowly clenched her little fists.
The husky:
Chapter 249 - Happy Life with Chen Sanke (3)
Chapter 249 C Happy Life with Chen Sanke (3)
Time passed by quickly amidst the falling snow. In the blink of an eye, a week had gone by already.
The Chen familys four young masters spent the days without their parents in happiness.
Aside from eating in restaurants every day, they also got to play together late into the night. Even when they woke up late the next day, they could call each others form teachers to fake illness and arrive late to school.
To prolong these days of luxury, Chen Yike had even thoughtfully sent a message to their parents, persuading them to spend a few more days on their holiday
The only dissatisfaction Chen Yu had regarding this situation was that he had to take care of Chen Sanke on Saturdays and Sundays.
These periods were torture for him.
Chen Sanke seemingly possessed endless energy, and no matter how much fun she had, she wouldnt get tired. Her energy source was even stronger than the high-polymer graphene battery inside Little Peach.
Moreover, Chen Sanke only wanted to play exciting, addictive, and dangerous games such as climbing curtains, doing somersaults, squeezing through narrow gaps, racing with the dog, and jumping off the wardrobe
Chen Yu had to break his back to keep up with her.
Hah
Chen Yu scratched his head in agony as he looked at his watch.
Today was Saturday, and it was currently half-past one in the afternoon.
In another dozen minutes or so, Chen Yike would be heading to class together with Chen Erke.
In other words, he only had a dozen minutes or so of peace.
Yay! Im finally done!
At this time, Little Peach, who sat before the study table, suddenly cheered.
Looking at her, Chen Yu asked, Is it the information on the professors? Are you done collecting data?
Im done! Little Peach gleefully said as she handed a thick stack of documents to Chen Yu. Look, look! Isnt it detailed?
Sitting up, Chen Yu accepted the documents and gave them a careful read.
However, after just reading a few pages, his complexion started darkening.
While I did tell you to search for detailed informationdid you really have to find out even their menstruation cycles and the number of bowel movements they have per day?!
I think this is all important information! Little Peach earnestly said. In nature, many animals use their feces to track down prey or avoid predators. Having more information is always good.
Fine. More information is indeed better. However, why dont I see information on their gender, social relations, family situations, academic information, and other important information?
The things you mentioned are too simple. Puffing up her chest, Little Peach said, You can easily find these things by searching the internet. On the other hand, the information I collected is an exclusive secret. Ive hacked into the professors personal computers, surveillance cameras, smart mattresses, and even smart toilets! Hehe, awesome rig
Smack!
Smacking the documents onto Little Peachs head, Chen Yu bellowed, So you spent the entire week digging for gossip?!
I guess youre not very satisfied.
Do you even need to guess? Throwing the documents onto the table, Chen Yu demanded, Start another search! I want to see their social relations, ethical standards, criminal history, and academic misconduct! I want to know whether theyve plagiarized, stolen papers, given perfunctory teaching, or enslaved students before!
You dont want these, then? Little Peach asked as she reluctantly caressed the stack of documents. There is still plenty of information at the back, such as their fetishes, strange habits, partner cheating records I even found pictures of several male professors dressed in womens clothing
No. Chen Yu sneered. Do you think Im such an idle person? Just leave the cross-dressing photos behind.
Bang! Bang!
At this time, knocking sounds suddenly came from the door. Chen Yikes voice then followed, Brother! Im going to class with Second Eldest! Hurry up and come take care of Third Eldest!
I know. Chen Yu shouted back. He then sternly instructed Little Peach, The cross-dressing photos are important information. Make sure to save them.
Little Peach:
After Chen Yu walked out of his bedroom, Chen Yike placed two exercise books into his hands and said, These are Third Eldests math and language homework. Get her to finish them.
Even kindergartners have to do homework? Frowning, Chen Yu flipped through the exercise books in irritation. How is this even reasonable?
Just hold on for two more days. Mom and dad will be back next week. Were going now.
Byebye, Big Brother! Chen Erke said, a band-aid stuck to the corner of her mouth. My teachers teaching me how to do side kicks today. Tell Third Eldest to prepare for death tonight.
Chen Yu: Sure, Ill relay your message. However, you better buy more band-aids before coming home.
No problem.
Bang!
The security door closed shut.
Suddenly, silence fell over the living room, causing it to feel more spacious than usual.
Did Big Sisters leave?
Shortly after, Chen Sanke staggered out of the master bedroom while dragging the husky by its tail. Rubbing her eyes, she asked, What time is it?
Its almost two. Tossing the two exercise books to the ground, Chen Yu pointed at them and said, Do your homework.
Chen Sanke lowered her head for a moment before pointing at the exercise books and looking at the husky. Do your homework.
Im telling you to do it!
Its about time it should learn how to study as well.
Woof! The husky nodded in agreement. It then reached out with its paw and flipped open an exercise book.
Have you really stopped thinking of yourself as a dog? Chen Yu quickly snatched the exercise books away and stuffed them into Chen Sankes hands. You do it!
Big Brother. With a pitiful look, Chen Sanke said, Dont force me
Smack!
Giving Chen Sanke a smack on her forehead, Chen Yu grabbed her shirt and dragged her to the sofa. Do your homework!
Can you play with me once I finish my homework, then? Chen Sanke bargained.
Sure.
You better not lie to me!
Big Brother doesnt lie.
Mhm! Chen Sanke excitedly nodded. She then picked up the pencil on the coffee table, opened her math exercise book, and rapidly answered the questions in it.
Rustle Rustle Rustle
The friction between the paper and the tip of the pencil produced a comfortable white noise.
I finished a page!
Chen Sanke cheered before turning to the next page.
I finished another page!
She then flipped to another page.
Im done!
Chen Sanke jumped up from the sofa and hugged Chen Yus neck. Big Brother, I finished my math problems.
That quickly? Chen Yu was shocked. Visually scanning Chen Sanke, he asked, Could it be that youre a genius?
Whats a genius?
Someone who can answer questions as quickly as you.
I can be even faster! Resting her hands on her hips, Chen Sanke said, Its very simple.
Are the questions very simple? Chen Yu skeptically picked up the exercise book. However, when he saw the written answers, his expression immediately went stiff.
[3+4=2]
[4+4=2]
[1+8=2]
[10+3=2]
[12+12=2]
Two! Two! Two! Everythings two! Chen Yu bellowed. Who do you think youre fooling?!
The teacher said that its n-normal to make mistakes when learning, Chen Sanke explained.
But having zero correct answers isnt normal! Third Eldest! Do your homework properly! Dont make me angry!
Hah. Chen Sanke sighed, her energetic aura withering instantly. Picking up her pencil again, she hesitated as she looked at the questions. While scratching her ears, she mumbled, How difficult
Chen Yu ignored her. Sitting on the sofa, he started swiping away at his phone.
How difficult
Everythings so difficult!
How difficult
Chen Sanke repeatedly yelled while sneaking glances at Chen Yu. She also kept on rubbing her head against Chen Yus body. So difficult!
Can you shut up when doing homework?
I cant do it. Hugging Chen Yus thighs, Chen Sanke pleaded, Big Brother, teach me.
Stop being so clingy! Chen Yu scratched his head in agony. I wont have a daughter in the future, even if it kills me!
Mommy said you might not even find a partner.
Fuck.
You cursed.
Shut up!
Chapter 250 - Eighth Official Livestream (Prelude)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 250 C Eighth Official Livestream (Prelude)
Standing up, Chen Yu pulled out a ruler from underneath the coffee table. He then smacked it onto the exercise book, and sternly said, Can you do your homework or not?
I can.
Do it, then!
I I Timidly sneaking a glance at Chen Yu, Chen Sanke said, I can do it if I have my tools.
What tools? A calculator?
Cookies.
Chen Yu:
Buy me some cookies, then Ill definitely be able to count! Chen Sanke said, licking her lips. Really.
Fine. You said it.
Mhm, mhm.
Placing down the ruler, Chen Yu turned around and went to put on his shoes. He then opened the security door and left.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu entered a minimarket, grabbed a few snacks, and tossed them on the counter.
Boss, three bags of biscuits and two bottles of yogurts.
Twenty-four yuan.
Ill pay by WeChat.
Here.
After making payment, Chen Yu returned home and tossed the snacks onto the sofa. He then gnashed his teeth and said, I bought them. Can you know how to do your homework now?
Yes! Yes! Chen Sanke hurriedly nodded. She then joyfully opened a bag of biscuits and took out seven biscuits from it. Setting them on the table, she said, Look, three biscuits plus four biscuits equals seven biscuits! So, 3+4=7!
After saying so, Chen Sanke picked up her pencil and wrote 7 behind the 3+4= question.
See! Chen Sanke cheered. Big Brother, I didnt lie to you, right? I told you I can get the answer right if you buy me cookies!
Chen Yu:
Next, four biscuits plus four biscuits equalseight biscuits!
12+12=24 biscuits! Crunch, crunch
Chen Sanke snacked on the biscuits while answering her math problems. She also kicked her legs happily.
14+14=
Two minutes later, Chen Sanke wiped the corners of her mouth and said, Big Brother, I dont have enough biscuits. I cant count the answer.
After remaining silent for a moment, Chen Yu raised his palm and said, I think that aside from counting biscuits, counting slaps should work as well. What is 14 slaps plus 14 slaps equal to?
Reacting quickly, Chen Sanke hurriedly covered her cheeks and said, T-Theyre enough I have enough biscuits
After another 26 minutes had gone by, Chen Sanke finally finished her math homework.
With only the simple language homework left, Chen Yu initially thought that Chen Sanke could quietly finish the problems by herself. However, contrary to his expectations, he ended up enduring even more intense torture.
Brother, how do you do this question?
Big Brother, I dont know this either
What is this question asking?
Shutting his eyes, Chen Yu massaged his temples and took a deep breath. Trying his best to stay calm, he said, What have you been learning at school?
Drawing, singing, and kneading plasticine.
Does your language teacher not teach you anything?
She does. Chen Sanke nodded. She then shook her head and added, I didnt understand.
Why didnt you ask if you dont understand?! I cant understand it. If youre not there to study, what are you going to school for? Dont you feel even the slightest bit guilty for having such bad grades?!
Y-Your grades are worse than mine
Shut up! Chen Yu bellowed. Grabbing the ruler on the coffee table, he pointed at the first question on the exercise book and said, Hurry up and write. Im not your kindergarten teacher. Ill hit you if you make a mistake.
Adults cannot hit children.
Im a child as well. Write!
Pouting, Chen Sanke gripped her pencil and looked at the question. After a moment of silence, she scratched her head and asked, What does it mean to use xx and like to form a sentence?
Isnt there an example above? Pointing at the question, Chen Yu said, Big Sister sings like an Oriole. So, you need to write someone blank like blank. For example, Big Brother runs like a cheetah.
Oh! Big Brother runs like a cheetah! How do I write cheetah?[1]
Dont copy me. Think for yourself.
Mhm
Chen Sanke frowned and began racking her brain.
After some time, she looked at the husky in the corner, and inspiration dawned upon her. Big Brother eats like a dog!
Ill Chen Yu abruptly raised the ruler in anger and nearly sent it smacking into Chen Sankes face. In the end, however, he managed to hold himself back.
What?
Nothing. Chen Yu picked up an eraser and tossed it onto the exercise book. Change it! This wont work.
Then Big Sister eats like a dog?
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu suddenly raised his thumb and said, This is good. Definitely.
Hehe! Chen Sanke happily erased the words Big Brother and changed them to Big Sister.
I dont know how to do the second question either. Its saying to use one sentence after another.
Look at the example. Tapping the ruler on the table, Chen Yu said, School has reopened, so students are returning one after another. Just change the setting.
Mhm
Biting her finger, Chen Sanke thought for a long while before saying, Work is over, so Daddy is returning one after another.
Is that fine?
Yes! Perfect!
A week later, Father Chen and Mother Chen finally returned home from their trip.
Chen Yu was finally free of his clingy little sister and could now spend his precious weekends doing censoring work in the floating castles library.
The construction of the artificial island underneath the castle was also progressing faster than planned. In just half a month, the islands outline had already been completed. This rapid progress stemmed from the material assistance the various countries provided, which reduced the amount of sand that needed to be dredged from the ocean floor.
The Transdimensional Academys education system had also taken shape.
Dozens of disciplines, including the Department of Physics, Mathematics, Mechatronics, Medicine, Biology, and Electronics, have been established.
However, as there were too many subjects, cramping all of the different departments into the castle would cause the castle to become crowded. After discussion with the professors, Chen Yu decided to use a large portion of the unused locations outside the castle. This was especially true for the Forbidden Forest, which covered an extensive area. Chen Yu had Hermione demolish half of the Forbidden Forest, instantly increasing the available space by a large margin.
In the future, he would build high-tech laboratories for the Academys various disciplines and use these laboratories for teaching and research.
One thing worth mentioning was that with the help of the information Little Peach collected, Chen Yu had managed to remove 22 problematic professors and permanently blacklisted them from the Academy.
As for the remaining 300-plus professors, they were determined to be comparatively excellent people, so Chen Yu could rest assured when granting them access to the librarys first floor.
Of course, the professors were only allowed to visit the library. They still werent allowed to touch any of the books.
After all, Chen Yu had yet to censor 99% of the books there. He couldnt let anyone freely take any of the books.
If a professor wished to borrow a particular book, they would have to first send in an application to Hermione. And only after Chen Yu had personally reviewed the application could the professor receive the book.
As for the matter of sourcing students, Chen Yu placed heavy importance on it.
When he thought about how a flunkie like himself could actually become the Headmaster of numerous top students, he couldnt help but shiver in pleasure.
Hence, five days ago, Chen Yu had personally supervised the Transdimensional Academys first global enrollment!
In the end, the Academy had invited a total of 1,800 top students from 122 countries, and these students were scheduled to visit the floating castle for a test and interview one month later.
To enhance his sense of presence, Chen Yu had also personally stamped all 1,800 invitation letters.
Initially, Chen Yu had planned to sign the invitation letters. However, after considering that his signature wasnt particularly profound and mysterious, he regretfully gave up on the endeavor.
And to ensure the Transdimensional Academys standards, Chen Yu planned to only accept 80 students out of the 1,800 examinees.
That was close to a twenty-three to one ratio! Anyone capable of getting selected would definitely be among the best.
When he thought about how he would have 80 of the worlds super-geniuses respectfully calling him Lord Headmaster
Then
Everything is on track.
Standing atop the Astronomy Tower, Chen Yu gazed through the white clouds and at the island below. Now, all theres left is to wait for the eight official livestream
Chapter 251 - Winter Holiday Arrives, Preparation Complete
Chapter 251 C Winter Holiday Arrives, Preparation Complete
Afternoon, Sixth High:
Chen Yu walked out of the fifth-floor examination room with his backpack and made his way down to Class 2-2s classroom.
Im the first?
After scanning the empty classroom, Chen Yu walked to his seat and packed his belongings into his backpack.
After today, Sixth High would be going on winter break.
When Chen Yu thought back to his experiences throughout the semester and how he had quickly gone from being a flunkie to someone capable of influencing the entire world, he couldnt help but feel a sense of insecurity.
How mysterious
Picking up his full backpack, Chen Yu sighed momentarily before turning around to leave. However, when he passed by Xing Biqis seat, he couldnt help but stop his footsteps.
He noticed a gift hidden in the desk drawer.
Reaching out, Chen Yu grabbed the small purple box and found a card stuck on it.
Written on the card was the following:
I feel lucky to meet you at a young and brilliant age.
So long as I see you, the dark clouds in my world dissipate.
Although I usually treat you coldly, it is only because I do not know how to express myself.
Through this card, I wish to say that having you here really is wonderful.
I wish you a Happy New Year.
-Zhen Congming.
Hoh? His eyebrows lifting, Chen Yu reread the card before looking at Zhen Congmings seat. I never knew you had it in you.
Without hesitation, Chen Yu pulled out a pen from his backpack and skillfully censored the words Zhen Congming. He then added two words behind the censor barChen Yu.
Happy New Year~
While humming a tune, Chen Yu returned the gift box into the desk drawer and left.
Ring Ring Ring
Twenty minutes later, in a certain classroom
Upon hearing the bell, the female teacher sitting by the lectern stood up and clapped her hands. Times up. Place your exam papers on the upper-left corner of your tables and line up to leave the exam venue.
Hearing this, the students inside the exam venue hurriedly packed up their belongings and dashed out of the classroom.
The end of the final exam meant that the long-awaited two-month winter break was finally here.
There was no Sixth High student who wouldnt rejoice at receiving vacation, even though there was almost no difference between going to school and being on vacation for most of them
Ugh
The only person to actually feel upset about this vacation was probably Xing Biqi.
After storing away her writing utensils and picking up her backpack, she looked at the gray sky outside the window and sighed.
Once the holidays started, she would have a difficult time meeting Chen Yu.
When she thought about how she couldnt make exquisite desserts for her sweetheart for the next two months, she couldnt help but feel sad.
Why arent you leaving yet? After a while, the female teacher at the lectern approached Xing Biqi and patted her back. Did you make some mistakes in your test?
No. Xing Biqi shook her head. She then squeezed out a smile and said, Ill leave now.
Happy New Year in advance, the teacher said, smiling.
Happy New Year.
After seeing Xing Biqi leaving, the female teacher gradually retracted her smile. She then raised her hand to cover her mouth before whispering, Ive installed the monitoring device on Target E. The effective period is one hour, and it will automatically fall off within half an hour.
Good. Please make sure everything is foolproof to avoid getting detected by Target As anti-reconnaissance equipment.
Understood.
After leaving the fourth-floor exam venue, Xing Biqi ran back to Class 2-2 with a heart filled with expectation. However, when she returned to the classroom and saw Chen Yus empty seat, disappointment immediately filled her.
As she had expected, Chen Yu had long since turned in his exam paper and returned home.
Refusing to give up, she quickly walked to the balcony and approached Li Liang. She then asked, Li Liang, has Chen Yu gone home already?
Hes long gone, Li Liang, who was seated cross-legged on the balcony and wrapped in a military-style jacket, said.
Oh. Xing Biqis head drooped down.
What? Brother Chen didnt even greet you before leaving?
Mhm.
Tsk, tsk. Li Liang smacked his lips and touched his bald head. Sure enough, the one thats loved has nothing to fear.
D-Dont talk nonsense Xing Biqis face immediately flushed red with embarrassment. She then quickly changed the subject and asked, Why are you still sitting here? Arent you going home?
Im on duty. I can only leave once you guys are gone. Achoo!
A-Are you sure you dont want to ask the teacher to get you a new seat?
Keke. Wiping his runny nose, Li Liang sneered and said, I wont let anybody snatch this precious spot from me! It might look cold now, but you guys will be envious of me in the summer!
Hurry up and go home. Im trying to sweep the floor. A-choo!
Returning to her seat, Xing Biqi sighed once more. She then started silently sorting out the textbooks inside her desk.
Huh?
When she took out the large stack of textbooks from her drawer, she noticed that there was actually a purple gift box sitting atop the stack. This is
Hurriedly, she took apart the pink ribbon tied around the box and removed the lid. Meanwhile, inside the gift box was a box of beautifully packed chocolates, and outside the box was a white card.
When the girl picked up the card with her trembling right hand and read it, her eyes instantly reddened.
[I feel lucky to meet you at a young and brilliant age.]
[So long as I see you, the dark clouds]
[I wish to say that having you here really is wonderful.]
[I wish you a Happy New Year.]
[Chen Yu.]
Finally, Xing Biqi could no longer hold back her tears, and glistening teardrops fell on the card.
Yeah!
In the distance, Zhen Congming, who was secretly observing this scene, clenched his fists in excitement. He then hurriedly picked up his backpack and left. Poaching successful! Hahaha
While laughing, he took out a book titled The Book of Love and flipped to page 233. Next, after the girl has received your gift, wait ten minutes for her emotions to fluctuate. Afterward, send her a message and give her an outlet to vent her emotions.
Ten minutes
After walking out of the school gate, Zhen Congming took out the roses he prepared and imagined spending a wonderful winter vacation dating a beautiful girl. After eight minutes had gone by, he couldnt hold back any longer and sent Xing Biqi a message on WeChat.
[Zhen Congming: Do you like the gift?]
[You are not his (her) friend. Please send a friend request first. You can only chat after the other party has verified your request.]
???
After returning home and greeting his family, Chen Yu walked straight into his bedroom. They tossed his heavy backpack onto the bed.
Mr. Chen, youre back, Little Peach exclaimed in surprise.
Mhm. Pass me my glasses.
Okay.
After receiving the Quantum Reading Glasses from Little Peach, Chen Yu checked the battery before putting it on. He then picked up a book on popular science he got from the Academys library and rapidly flipped through the pages.
He was a reviewer of advanced technology. With each passing livestream, he started taking more and more notice of the importance of having basic scientific knowledge. And as his popularity and audience grew, it was imperative that he increased his knowledge.
Not to mention, he had founded an academy focusing on natural sciences. If he had nothing in his brain, he would easily embarrass himself when acting cool in front of the professors and students.
Of course, he wasnt a researcher, and neither did he need to take an exam. So, he only needed to have a general impression of the various complex topics. Because of this, his learning speed was rapid. In just a dozen minutes, he had already finished a book and proceeded to the second, third, fourth books, and so on.
In regards to the eighth official livestream happening the day after tomorrow
Chen Yu had already completed all the necessary preparations.
Chapter 252 - Product Capable of Destroying the Solar System
Chapter 252 C Product Capable of Destroying the Solar System
Sunday, 8:50 AM:
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, Chen familys abode:
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Yu squinted his eyes and asked indifferently, What time is it?
Its eight-fifty. There are ten minutes left, Little Peach answered after taking a look at the time. She then picked up Chen Yus wizard robe and said, You should change your clothes now.
Forget that for now. Lets see how large the product is first. If its something that needs me to go outdoors, Ill just change into the protective suit.
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and opened WeChat. He then sent a brief message to Transdimensional Marketings staff member.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im here, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: ??!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: What are you trying to say?]
[Chen Yu: Nothing. Im just surprised you didnt get angry.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you know what resigned means?]
Hahaha
[Chen Yu: I understand. Lets not talk about this for now. How is todays product? Is it large? How large is it? Is it bigger than last time?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, this product is of moderate size. You can receive it at home.]
[Chen Yu: I cant afford to have my floor destroyed anymore. Ill head to the floating castle, so send it there.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. I will send it to you in a few minutes. By the way, I have something to tell you.]
[Chen Yu: What?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: As you have accomplished excellent results in all seven of your livestreams, my team and I have applied for a very special product for you. So long as you can successfully raise your access level to C- and conditions permit it, we can make an exception and send it to you.]
[Chen Yu: Special product? How is it special?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is a product that can only be applied for with B-rank access level.]
What?!
Chen Yu couldnt help but be surprised by these words. After carefully re-reading the message two more times, excitement welled up within him.
[Chen Yu: How amazing is a B-rank product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is far better than any product youve reviewed.]
[Chen Yu: Isnt that obvious?! Cant you give me a better description? How powerful is it? Is it dangerous?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It definitely carries a certain degree of danger. Moreover, the degree of danger is extremely high. Hence, I said that even after your access level reaches C-, well still need to see if conditions permit it. And these conditions are safety conditions.]
Seeing this, Chen Yu grew agitated and quickly typed a reply.
[Chen Yu: Can you not leave me hanging? Cant you tell me what this product is?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im sorry, but this isnt allowed. I can only briefly tell you that this product can easily result in the solar systems destruction.]
[Chen Yu: Crap]
[Transdimensional Marketing: A single mistake might lead to the destruction planets on the scale of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: So, youll have to meet the safety conditions.]
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu stood up and paced around his room over a dozen times.
Mr. Chen, whats wrong? Little Peach asked in confusion.
Its nothing. Picking up his phone again, Chen Yu typed a message while saying, Activate the portal first. Connect it to the Headmasters Towers second-floor hall. Well be starting the livestream right away.
Okay. Little Peach nodded. She then approached the Interstellar Portal and started manipulating its virtual interface.
[Chen Yu: Its my eighth official review now. Ill be able to get promoted after another review. In other words, I should get the product you mentioned in the 10th review, which is in three months. What are the safety conditions you mentioned?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is your personal safety condition. You must have sufficient ability to protect yourself.]
[Chen Yu: What else?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Theres nothing else.]
[Chen Yu: Cant you give me any more hints?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Our work is constantly under supervision. It is already rare that we managed to get that product for you. I cannot disclose any more information to you.]
[Chen Yu: Fine. In that case, try to get me a product that helps with meeting that safety condition next time.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please rest assured. My team and I will do our best. It is almost nine oclock in your current timeline. Please prepare to receive todays delivery.]
[Chen Yu: OK. Send it to the second-floor hall of the floating castles Headmasters Tower.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well.]
Tossing his phone onto the bed, Chen Yu quickly changed into his wizard robe and put on his opera mask. He then put on the magic hat representing the headmasters authority. Once he was fully dressed, he stepped through the Interstellar Portal and arrived in the Headmasters Towers second-floor hall.
Snap!
Snapping his fingers, Chen Yu called out, Hermione.
Im here.
A stream of silver particles emerged from the ground and took on the form of a slender figure. While suspended before Chen Yu, Hermione asked, Lord Headmaster, your orders?
Im going to start hosting my livestream. The Academys professors can spectate, but dont let them get too close.
Understood.
Mhm. After taking a look at the time, Chen Yu continued, How is the islands construction progressing?
The outer shape is completed, Hermione said as she landed on the ground. She then tapped the butt of her staff on the ground, summoning a virtual projection of the manmade island. The main body is completed, and the revetment is also completed. However, we still need to pump out the excess water. It will take five more days at most before we can transfer the various governments supplies ashore and start the next step of construction.
Thats fast. How about the censoring work in the library?
We have finished censoring 7% of the first floors books, Hermione reported. In the case of books on basic science, we have finished censoring 52% of them already. The professors have also begun compiling the teaching materials for the new semester based on these books, so their research speed has temporarily slowed down.
Okay. Have them focus on the teaching materials first before doing their research. Make sure to keep a close eye on them. We cant have any of these teaching materials leaked to the outside world for now.
Understood.
After understanding the floating castles and artificial islands general situation, Chen Yu stopped speaking and stared at the time displayed on his watch.
Three minutes later
Both the minute hand and second hand reached 12 simultaneously. A wormhole with a diameter of no more than three minutes appeared in the middle of the hall immediately.
It really is a small product.
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Yu took two steps back and looked up.
Boom!
Shortly after, a rectangular delivery box with a width of two meters and a height of four meters fell out of the wormhole and landed heavily on the ground.
The snowy-white box gave off a dazzling reflection when sunlight shone on it.
Compared to the previous few official products, this product was exceptionally compact.
It really is small.
After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu stepped forward and stroked the box. He then tentatively hugged it and found that he couldnt move it at all.
Its heavy.
Take it apart and see whats inside! Little Peach eagerly said. Is it a toy?
The products cant always be toys.
Taking half a step back, Chen Yu snapped his fingers.
Rumble
The ground before him suddenly crumbled and formed a staircase leading down to the first floor.
Lets go. With a wave of his right hand, Chen Yu strode forward and said, Its time to start the livestream.
Okay! Little Peach cheered and followed after Chen Yu.
Pausing his footsteps, Chen Yu looked back with a dark look. Are you just leaving empty-handed?
Little Peach: What?
Dont what me! Are we going to review the air?
Oh! Realization dawning upon her, Little Peach hurriedly turned around and picked up the five-meter-tall box. Ugh Its heavy.
Watch your steps. Walk down the stairs slowly.
Mhm! Rest assured, I wont come under any danger.
Im afraid you might break the product.
Little Peach:

Deputy Leader, the technical department, analysis department, and staff teams are all ready.
Okay. Ill contact the Leader for permission
Japan, Special Event Research Institute:

America, United Nations headquarters, Observer Conference Hall:
The crowd sat around the circular table focused their gazes on the main screen without saying a word.
It was currently nine oclock already, and the livestream could begin at any moment.
Nobody was willing to miss out on even a single frame of the livestream.
Like a womans period, the official livestreams that occurred once a month punctually placed the worlds various forces on edge.

At the same time, inside the HogwartsSuper Floating Castle
When Chen Yu arrived at the main hall on the first floor, two professorsone male and one femalewere discussing something seriously while sharing a book.
Upon seeing Chen Yus arrival, the two professors hurriedly bowed and saluted, Hello, Headmaster.
Please stand up.
?
Dont mind the details. Continue on with your talk. Ill be going first.
H-Headmaster. Upon seeing the large box Little Peach carried, the female professor hesitantly approached Chen Yu and asked, Is that the product youre going to review?
Thats right.
C-Can we watch it in person?
No problem. Chen Yu nodded. He then pointed out the window and said, I plan to do the review outside the castle. You can follow me if you want to watch, but you cant get close, make noise, or influence my review in any way. Moreover, youll be responsible for your own safety.
Yes, yes!
The two professors nodded joyfully when they heard Chen Yus answer. They then followed after Little Peach without hesitation.
L-Lady, do you need me to help you carry it? the male professor asked Little Peach. He knew that Little Peach was Chen Yus sole partner, so he decisively seized this opportunity to form a relationship with her.
Sure!
Little Peachs eyes lit up, and she happily put down the delivery box.
Boom!!
The ground trembled slightly.
The male professor immediately became dumbfounded.
You better be careful. This thing is a little heavy. Dont fall over and break the product, Little Peach said with her hips on her waist. Youre a good person. Favorability is increased by five points.
1
Gulp. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the male professor reached out to the box with his trembling hands.
Our Academy doesnt compensate for accidental deaths, Chen Yu reminded.
Cant you at least give a little bit?
In the end, Little Peach still ended up carrying the delivery box out of the castle by herself and set it down on the east gates plaza.
Its so heavy! Little Peach said while massaging her waist. My springs have all loosened.
Were late. Lets start the livestream.
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu drove away the many professors following behind him back into the castle. He then faced the camera, swiped his finger across his watch, and started the livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, YoutubeNiconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
375,818.
4,700,690.
18,350,147
The moment Chen Yu opened the livestreams access to the public, the total viewer count instantly broke past the 20-million mark. Moreover, it was still rapidly increasing.
This
Chen Yu couldnt help but frown when he saw how rapidly the total viewer count increased.
Looking at this increase, he couldnt help but suspect that the information block of the various countries governments had collapsed
1
[Ahaha! First! Im first!]
[First.]
[The true number one.]
[Who else is first?]
[Its here, its here!]
[OHHHH!]
[Hello, Headmaster.]
[Hello, Headmaster King.]
[My friend got an invitation letter from the Transdimensional Academy, and he got taken away by hundreds of people.]
[My friend received an invite as well, and the government awarded three million dollars to her.]
[What a coincidence, I have such a friend as well]
Twenty seconds later, the influx of IP addresses slowed down.
Meanwhile, the total viewer count had already exceeded 24 million!
This was undoubtedly the highest viewer count a livestream had ever received in history.
Something mustve gone wrong somewhere. Otherwise, there shouldnt be a sudden increase of nearly 10 million viewers
After thinking over the matter for a while and failing to figure out any clues, Chen Yu gave up and decided to focus on the livestream.
Friends and viewers in the livestream rooms, good morning.
Righting his mask, Chen Yu said, This is Transdimensional Reviews eighth official livestream. Another month has gone by, and I am delighted to meet with everyone again. I would also like to thank everyone for sparing time out of your busy schedule to watch my livestream. Your support has and always will be my driving force.
Todays livestream product has finally returned to a smaller scale, so it should be very safe. We shouldnt have anything to worry about anymore.
After saying so, Chen Yu directed the camera toward the white delivery box.
This is the protagonist of todays review. Compared to previous products, it is unexpectedly small, right? Like everyone, I still dont know what is stored inside the box. However, lets not unbox it first. I have something to announce in advance.
Snap!
After saying so, Chen Yu snapped his fingers. Immediately, his body floated into the air, and he landed on the castle complexs highest point, which was at the top of the Astronomy Tower.
Look there.
Extending his index finger, Chen Yu pointed at the circular artificial island in the distance. This is my newly built island. It is an essential component of the Transdimensional Academy. Since the islands construction hadnt started yet during the previous livestream, I couldnt show it to you back then. Of course, those who are well-informed shouldve already found out about the islands construction in advance.
The island has an area of 820 square kilometers, which is 20 times the size of Sword Island. The initial plan for the island is very grand. If the opportunity arises, Ill give you a preview. The airports alone will number at least four. Once everything is constructed, everyone is welcome to visit.
Ive also thought of the islands name already, but I didnt tell anyone yet so that I can officially announce it before everyone.
The island will be called Spreading his arms, Chen Yu shouted, Civilizations Light Island! Light Island for short!
[No comment.]
[I feel embarrassed just listening to the name.]
[Although its very formal, it is very uncreative.]
[Not fair! Why does Sword Island have that ghastly shape, yet this one is so round?]
1
[Thats the Earths spear, while this is the Earths rear.]
[You guys are going to ruin Earth.]
[I only paid attention to the part where the UP said we can travel there!]
[Im a humble person. I will be satisfied so long as I can see the floating castle whenever I lift my head]
Raising his watch and looking at the bullet comments flooding his watchs screen, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction and continued, It seems everyone likes this name very much. Its decided, then. Lets hope this island can live up to its name and become civilizations light.
Now, thats it for this little interlude. Lets start todays official livestream.
After saying so, Chen Yu flew down from the Astronomy Tower and landed back on the eastern plaza. He then returned the cameras focus onto the delivery box.
Lets dispense with the nonsense and unbox it right away!
Reaching out, Chen Yu grabbed the red seal at the bottom of the box and yanked it hard.
Tear!
Chapter 254 - Wisdom’s Limit! Eighth Official Livestream (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 254 C Wisdoms Limit! Eighth Official Livestream (2)
Tear!
Accompanied by the sound of tape tearing, the five-meter-long red seal separated from the box. Chen Yu then threw the tape into the air at an altitude of 3,400 meters.
To let the audience have a clear view, he stepped aside and stood on the delivery boxs left. He then faced the camera and slowly opened the boxs left cover, revealing a light blue cylinder inside.
Immediately afterward, Chen Yu moved to the right and opened the right cover. Finally, the products full appearance entered the eyes of both Chen Yu and the livestreams 20 million-plus viewers.
[Dammit! A cannon?]
[This cannon doesnt seem very smart.]
[It kinda looks like Dongfeng Express!][1]
[Maybe its a nuclear missile launch pad.]
[Its definitely an electromagnetic cannon!]
[Its clearly a planetary engine]
[UP, if youre so incredible, do you dare host a livestream in the Forbidden City on Monday?]
Hmm
Taking five steps back, Chen Yu carefully observed the blue cylinder and frowned.
Similar to his audience, if he judged the product based solely on its appearance, he couldnt recognize what it was.
Come and help me, Chen Yu said as he hooked his finger at Little Peach. The two of them then quickly separated the product from the delivery box.
Hu
Tossing away the box, Chen Yu had the camera capture a 360-degree view of the cylinder. However, even after thoroughly inspecting it, he still couldnt figure out what it was for.
The unboxing session is over. I believe that, like myself, everyone shouldnt be able to tell what it is. From the Interstellar Portal to the Weather Control Module, to the Super Floating Castle, the further into the future a product came from, the more unimaginable it would be.
Reaching out, Chen Yu grabbed a card from the card slot located on the cylinders right side. Fortunately, there is an instruction manual to help ignorant ancient people like ourselves unveil this products mysteries.
After saying so, Chen Yu skillfully toggled the cards power switch and carefully read the introduction that appeared.
What?
Chen Yu couldnt help but exclaim in surprise the moment he saw the products name. Immediately, he accelerated his reading speed. And as his understanding grew, his surprise became shock, and his shock became admiration. Simultaneously, he also continually mumbled to himself.
How magical
How beautiful
Unbelievable
Amazing!
As this card didnt come with a projection ability, only Chen Yu could see its contents. Meanwhile, the livestreams viewers could only watch anxiously while spamming bullet comments.
After giving his audience the cold shoulder for over a dozen minutes, Chen Yu placed down the card and faced the camera. He then sighed and said, Its too magical. Just how willful of a designer is required to create such a product?
Everyone, do you know what this product is used for?
[If you dont say it, how the heck would we know?!]
[Dammit! Youre definitely doing this on purpose!]
[The cameraman is slacking today.]
[Stop teasing us already!]
[I dont know what you guys are talking about. I just came to see the female assistant.]
[Im also here to see the female assistant. I cant believe you guys can get so excited over a big metal rod.]
[Ive checked every broadcasting platform. The total viewer count is already over 20 million! Doesnt anyone need to go to work or school?]
Storing the instruction card into his pocket, Chen Yu stroked the cylinders smooth surface while organizing his thoughts. He then said, Itll be difficult to explain this product in just one or two sentences. It involves a lot of astronomy, chemistry, physics, and aerospace knowledge.
Thats right. This is an aerospace product. It is something that nobody has ever thought about, even in 2020. Of the previously revealed products, all of them have once been described by scientists, novelists, or various cultures. There is theoretical support for every one of these products.
However, this thing Patting the metal cylinder, Chen Yu continued, It doesnt exist in modern human history. At least, I havent heard of anyone or any artistic work describing this product before.
After a slight pause, Chen Yu straightened his back and recalled the knowledge he had learned over the past few weeks. He then loudly said, Now that the unboxing session is over, lets proceed with the introduction session. Ill try my best to use concise language to introduce this magical and absurd product to everyone.
First of all, there are only two ways for humans to enter space.
The first method is through rocket propulsion. The second method is through spacecraft. However, as the latter requires the propulsion of rockets, strictly speaking, humans can only enter space through rocket propulsion.
However, due to the high cost of rocket propulsion, the scientific community has always sought a more efficient method to enter space. Meanwhile, the most famous and feasible method thought of was the space elevator.
After saying so, Chen Yu stretched out a finger. Before I introduce the space elevator, I have to first mention a person. Russias
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Im sure most of the audience. However, Im sure you mustve heard his nickname before.
The Father of Rocketry!
The quote the Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one doesnt always live in the cradle originated from this person.
Tsiolkovsky was born in 1857, a time where airplanes didnt even exist yet. However, in that time where humans hadnt even studied how to fly in the air, Tsiolkovsky had already started researching how to fly into space and enter the universe.
He saw that a punctured balloon would be blown away by the air current and understood the principles of reaction force. Immediately, he created the rocket propulsion principle and devised a systematic calculation for it. One of the formulas Tsiolkovsky developed was also named after himself, and that is the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation.
V=V0xLn (m0/m1).
This rocket velocity formula is easy to derive. It can be calculated using only a little calculus, so I wont delay the program for this simple problem.
[Ah! My eyes!]
[Show-off!]
[I can feel the ridicule of an intellectual.]
[My mom asked me why Im trying to jump into the toilet while watching a video]
[Art students say that youve made grammatical errors. :)]
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu continued, According to the formula, to enter space, the propulsion required is massive. Hence, the mass ratio of m0/m1 must also be large. m0 is the rockets mass with propellant, and m1 is the rockets mass without propellant. The ratio of the two must be large. What does it mean?
[I dont know.]
[I dont know. +1]
[I can understand every sentence youre saying, yet I cant understand what youre saying at all.]
[I understand everything, yet also dont understand anything]
[Awesome, awesome]
After a slight pause, Chen Yu smiled and said, It means that the fuels mass must be great. Therefore, most of the rockets mass consists of fuel. Even to this day, this fact remains unchanging. This is also the reason why space operations are so costly. They simply waste too much fuel.
Meanwhile, after completing the rocket equation, Tsiolkovsky went a step further and specified the use of liquid fuel, and then created the multi-stage rocket principle. By the time he completed this series of great works, humanity still didnt even know how to build airplanes.
Some viewers may want to ask, what is Tsiolkovskys relationship with the space elevator? Why must I focus on introducing him?
Because this great person is also the person to have proposed the space elevator theory. He had even completed all the relevant theories and calculations, including the structural strength of the material required, the height of the space elevator, the counterweight ratio, the balance point of 36,000 kilometers, etc. To put it simply, so long as the material requirement was met, humanity would be able to construct a space elevator by relying on the Father of Rocketrys legacy.
This isnt a delusion! In 2019, Japan and China had already produced qualified materials and had begun the space elevator construction plan. By 2050 at the latest, the project will be fully launched, and everyone would get to see the space elevator within their lifetime.
But
Stretching out his hand and lightly patting the metal cylinder beside him, Chen Yu said, With this thing, we can abandon the space elevator project. We wont need to wait until 2050. With modern human technology, we already have the basis for constructing this product.
The only thing limiting its birth is the scientific communitys imagination.
And this products name is called
The Earth Spray!
Chapter 255 - Wisdom’s Limit! Eighth Official Livestream (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 255 C Wisdoms Limit! Eighth Official Livestream (3)
And this products name is called
The Earth Spray!
[??]
[???]
[Spray my ass!]
[What a name.]
[Are you kidding me?]
[??]
[Listening to its name, I now know why the modern scientific community couldnt make it.]
[As expected of you.]
[As expected of you. +1]
[All rise! Time to send off the old driver!]
Yes, this thing is called Earth Spray. Stepping aside, Chen Yu let the camera capture a panoramic view of the blue cylinder. It also has a more appropriate titlethe Tide of Mother Ocean.
I doubt anyone can figure out this products function through its name. However, once you listen to my explanation of its principles, youll definitely understand why it is named as such.
As we all know, the cost of launching rockets into space is very high. According to current standards, it costs 20,000 U.S. dollars to lift one kilogram of material into space. If it is a 50-kilogram person, it will cost one million U.S. dollars. If the astronaut is of Qiao Biluos[1] weight class, even the wealthy America wouldnt be able to afford many trips.
But if we switch to using a space elevator, the cost of traveling to space will plummet. After calculation, it will only cost 190 dollars to send one kilogram of matter to space. Thats a difference of 100 times! Even ordinary people like us can afford to travel to space. So, you can imagine how much yearning the various governments have toward the space elevator.
Alright. Clapping his hands, Chen Yu pointed at the Earth Spray and said, What if we use this to send objects into space? How much would it cost then?
The answer isnothing.
When Chen Yus words fell, let alone the audience in the livestream rooms, even the professors in the floating castle nearly bit their tongues in shock.
Yes. Nothing, Chen Yu emphasized. Moreover, not only will it cost nothing to travel to space, but the Earth Spray can even help you make money.
The Earth Spray uses water to carry objects into space. Meanwhile, Earth has a near-endless supply of water in its oceans. This water can even be reused. Hence, the Earth Spray is also called the Tide of Mother Ocean. It is a gift from nature.
[Im smiling.]
[Are you finally going to engage in MLM?]
[Is it really free? Will you really give me money to go to space?]
[UP, what you mean to say is that the cost is meager, right? Theres no way you dont need to spend any money.]
[What nonsense! Using water to carry objects into space? Do you think you can replicate Europas fountain?]
[You can probably launch over a thousand rockets with the energy needed to send water spraying tens of thousands of kilometers into space.]
[A space fountain? This is pseudoscience]
[Im not trying to doubt the host, but this doesnt make sense in theory.]
[Stop pretending that you understand, OK? Do you think youre better than the host?]
[Its not a question of being better or not. Even the most amazing person in the world cannot violate physics]
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu took a look at the numerous speculations appearing among the bullet comments. He then shrugged and said, I knew most of you wont believe it. In that case, I will now introduce this products operating principle in detail. Ill let you understand how imagination can create a world.
After saying so, Chen Yu summoned Hermione and grabbed the staff she wielded. He then drew a picture in the air while narrating, First, we need to know one of the most basic chemical principles. Water, or H?O, is the simplest hydroxide compound in existence. It is a colorless and odorless liquid with a freezing point of 0C and a boiling point of 100C under standard atmospheric pressure. Its density will be at its highest at 4C.
Water contains hydrogen, and hydrogen is a type of fuel. When mixed with oxygen, it will explode into flames. Nowadays, all rockets use hydrogen-oxygen fuel.
Now, there is a very interesting point here! Why not decompose the hydrogen found in water to use as fuel?
After saying so, Chen Yu hovered into the air and wrote down a series of formulas in the air, his actions stunning his audience.
There are many ways to decompose water, and they are all simple. For example, using the electrolysis method, 2H?O can be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen by energizing 2H?+O?. However, according to this formula, it can be concluded that the chemical energy stored in the product is higher than the reactant. According to the principle of conservation of energy, it is difficult to have a catalyst that directly decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen while the amount of the catalyst itself remains unchanged.
In laymans terms, this means the investment exceeds the expenditure. It isnt practical to obtain hydrogen in such a way.
Aside from electrolysis, the several other methods of decomposing water into hydrogen require contact with other materials such as metallic sodium (Na), metallic aluminum (Al), and metallic iron (Fe).
Their formulas are as follows
2Na + 2H?O ? 2NaOH + H?.
2Al+6H?O + (heat) ? 2Al(OH)? + 3H?.
3Fe + 4H?O + (heat) ? Fe?O? + 4H?.
After writing the three formulas using light particles, Chen Yu pointed at the first formula and said, See? Aluminum and iron both require an input of energy. Only sodium doesnt! As long as it comes into contact with water, itll decompose water into hydrogen!
Hydrogen is fuel!
Lowering the staff, Chen Yu pointed it at the distant blue ocean under the white clouds. There is an infinite amount of sodium in the sea. We only need to extract it and merge it with water. Isnt that equivalent to having an endless supply of fuel?
Without giving the audience room to think or refute, Chen Yu continued, In modern industry, the acquisition of metallic sodium is done by the Downs method. That is, adding calcium chloride to a sodium chloride (table salt) solution. Electrolysis is then conducted at a high temperature of 500C and a voltage of 6V to produce metallic sodium. The metallic sodium will be produced at the cathode, while chlorine will be produced at the anode.
Meanwhile, inside the Earth Spray is a set of extremely efficient electrolysis separation equipment. The machine also runs on tidal energy. So long as it is submerged into the ocean, it will automatically absorb, filter, and process the sodium chloride in the sea, producing metallic sodium at an efficiency beyond imagination.
The metallic sodium produced will be divided into three uses. The first part will be fused with Group A engines to consume hydrogen and generate energy to create a powerful water jet. The second part will be fused with water in Group B engines to consume hydrogen and generate energy for continuous sodium chloride electrolysis.
The last part will be released in the form of small particles with the water column into the air. Upon making contact with the water, the metallic sodium particles will detonate the waters hydrogen, generating extra kinetic energy and rapidly push the transported object into space!
The movement, angle, speed, and thrust of the spray are controlled by a high-performance computer throughout the entire journey. So long as the Earth Spray remains in the ocean, under the continuous propulsion of the water spray and explosion of hydrogen atoms, it will be possible to travel past even Earths low-Earth orbit!
Meanwhile, the only material we need to manually supplement to the Earth Spray is cheap calcium chloride. However, the chlorine gas produced during the electrolysis process can easily cover that cost. In fact, it might even generate profits.
Tossing the staff away, Chen Yu faced the camera and spread his hands. The reason why I said it wont cost any money to travel to space is basically because of this.
[Crap!]
[I dont get it, but awesome!]
[First, use seawater to generate electricity. Then, electrolyze metallic sodium from the seawater, and let the metallic sodium decompose water into hydrogen. Finally, use the decomposed hydrogen as fuel to drive the engines and propel objects into space Damn! Which lunatic researched this?]
[It is entirely feasible in theory!]
[This operation method is too cool!]
[Ive finished calculating with my fingers. Its feasible!]
[I also finished calculating. We should have the ability to manufacture such a machine now.
[It shouldnt be possible. That electrolytic device is too awesome!]
[Why has nobody thought of this idea before?]
[I keep getting the feeling that something is wrong]
This product was produced by the Huaxia Heavy Industry in 2441. Taking out the introduction card again, Chen Yu revealed the product name to the camera. In reality, its prototype would already appear just several decades later.
Unfortunately, the lack of inspiration delayed its official debut by several centuries.
After saying so, Chen Yu returned the introduction card to its slot on the Earth Spray. He then pressed the Start button on the machine. Next
Let us witness the power of imagination together!

Chapter 256 C Its Spraying! (1)
Squeak
The moment Chen Yu pressed down on the ceramic button, a strange mechanical sound suddenly came from the cylinder. Two hooks then extended out from the cylinders left and right, the hooks seemingly there to facilitate the dragging of the large machine.
[No marine environment detected. Unable to expand.]
[Warning. The device cannot be deployed without being in a marine environment.]
Taking a step back, Chen Yu visually scanned the glowing blue cylinder and explained, It seems this tool doesnt have any mobility on land. So, for the safety of the floating castle and Light Island, I will bring it away. Ill go change into the protective suit now, so please wait a moment.
After saying so, Chen Yu waved at the camera before running back to the castle complex.
Headmaster.
Hello, Headmaster.
Headmaster
The professors waiting in the foyer hurriedly greeted Chen Yu and opened a path for him.
Good morning.
After a simple greeting, Chen Yu hurried past the professors and disappeared in the Headmasters Towers direction.
Two minutes later, Chen Yu was fully geared. Opening the nearby window, he activated the plasma engine, flew out of the tower, and arrived back at the Earth Spray.
Boom, boom.
After giving his sturdy helmet two taps, Chen Yu grabbed the cylinders right hook. The Earth Spray is incredibly heavy. There are bound to be many components inside, and it definitely isnt as simple as the instructions made it out to be. It would be challenging to move this heavy object using human strength. The only two American transport planes stationed nearby are also too small to fit this cylinder. So, Ill have no choice but to slowly drag it.
After saying so, Chen Yu inserted both hands into the hooks to form a loop around the cylinder. He then activated the plasma engine and said, Ive fixed my position so that the tough protective suit will bear all the pressure under the engines propulsion, and no harm will come to the components inside the Earth Spray.
Whoosh Whoosh
Following which, a blue tail flame weakly spewed out of the protective suits back, the flames matching with the cylinders light-blue body. Both Chen Yu and the cylinder then gradually lifted into the air.
King! Little Peach hurriedly waved at Chen Yu. What about me?
Swim to me if you can.
Little Peach grew anxious when she saw Chen Yus figure disappearing into the distance. Hurriedly, she ran to the airport temporarily set up in the Forbidden Forest. She then hopped onto one of Americas transport planes and clapped her hands at the two pilots in the cockpit, Your plane is being requisitioned. Go!
The pilots: ? x2
Chen Yu advanced while referring to the latitude and longitude lines displayed in his helmet.
The sound of the sea breeze blowing coupled with the sky and blue sea in the background made many of the livestreams viewers feel relaxed and happy.
Earth really is beautiful. However, it is too gentle and has far too few tricks. It is far from being as fascinating as other planets. As it so happens, I received news that I might receive an amazing product once my access level exceeds D+. Hence, we should see products similar to the protective suit being sent to me in the next few official livestreams. If I really do get something like the protective suit, Ill patch up the holes from before and complete our unfinished journey.
Well go deep into Jupiters core, Saturns core, and even the Suns core. Well personally witness the mystery inside these celestial bodies.
[Theres nothing interesting to see inside the Sun. The only thing to see there is light. Im more curious to see whats inside Jupiter.]
[What is that awesome product? Why would you need a better protective suit for it?]
[I suddenly have a terrible feeling]
[Dammit! We also need protective suits!]
[Has anyone ever thought that the UP might actually be here to destroy Earth?]
[This is how civilization works. The more developed it becomes, the more likely it would perish.]
Amidst the tens of thousands of bullet comments, Chen Yu flew several dozen miles away from Light Island.
This should be enough. If were this far, the island shouldnt be affected even if this thing explodes.
After glancing at the artificial island behind him, Chen Yu gradually lowered his altitude and stopped five meters above sea level. This thing
Is supposed to be tossed straight into the water, right?
After saving so, Chen Yu tentatively released his grip on the hooks.
Splash.
The cylinder fell into the ocean with a splash and disappeared
Its not coming back up?
After a long silence, Chen Yu scratched his helmet as he looked at the waves below him. I think we messed up.
The livestreams audience:
After hovering in the air for some time, Chen Yu discovered that the Earth Spray was indeed incapable of floating. Immediately, his complexion darkened.
Dammit! This high-tech product cant even move by itself?
After carefully inspecting his armor, Chen Yu flew into the ocean and dove straight down rapidly.
Gurururu
The moment Chen Yu entered the water, the world around him instantly fell silent. Only the sound of the water being agitated and evaporated could be heard.
No need to panic. Havent you heard of the story of marking the boat to find the sword[1]? Chen Yu calmly explained, My situation is similar to that person in the story. However, unlike that person, I havent moved an inch from my original position. That metal cylinder is also hefty. So long as I continue diving downward, Ill find it eventually.
[Im not panicked.]
[Im not panicked. +1]
[None of us are panicking! Youre the one whos panicking!]
[It also takes talent to toss it into the water without additional thought]
[Its normal behavior. After all, its a product from the 25th century. Who wouldve expected the machine is so unintelligent.]
[Waiting for the Earth to spray water.]
After diving rapidly for some time, Chen Yu eventually caught up with the sinking metal cylinder. He then fixed his hands on the hooks and stopped the cylinder from sinking any further.
Lets hope this thing can be deployed deep underwater. Otherwise, Ill have to drag it up again.
While muttering, Chen Yu reached out to press the ceramic Start button again.
[Marine environment detected.]
[Liquid concentration qualified.]
[Depth qualified.]
[Warning! Width is unqualified! There is a solid environment nearby. Please move the device away from it.]
[Unable to expand.]
Solid environment? Is it Light Island? Chen Yu frowned as he gazed in the artificial islands direction. Even being dozens of miles away is not enough? Just how much area does this thing occupy?
Pressurizing the plasma engine to the maximum, Chen Yu dragged the Earth Spray and continued heading eastward.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu felt that he should be sufficiently far away. He then pressed the ceramic button once more.
[Marine environment detected.]
[Liquid concentration, depth, and width are qualified.]
[Expanding!]
[Warning!]
Suddenly, an ear-piercing buzzing sound entered Chen Yus ears. The metal cylinder also started flashing with an orange glow.
[Expanding! Please evacuate at least 1,000 meters away from the device!]
Hearing this, Chen Yu released the cylinder and retreated without hesitation.
Meanwhile, without Chen Yus support, the cylinder started sinking once more and disappeared from the cameras sight in the blink of an eye.
Several schools of fish wandering nearby also fled immediately upon sensing the radiation coming from the device.
One second.
Three seconds.
Ten seconds
Rumble, rumble
Strange noises and fluctuations slowly spread out from the dark abyss below Chen Yu.
After glancing at the changing values displayed in his helmet, Chen Yu immediately flew to the oceans surface.
Simultaneously, he had the floating camera dive deep into the ocean to let the livestreams 25 million viewers get a real-time view of the Earth Spray.
Splash!
A dozen seconds later, Chen Yu shot out of the water and briefly wiped off the water stuck to his helmet. He then removed his left glove and looked at his watch.
At this time, his watchs screen had already been covered in bullet comments. Hurriedly, he closed off the bullet comment display. And when he got a clear look at the abnormal situation happening underwater, an expression of interest appeared on his face.
Chapter 257 - It’s Spraying! (2)
Chapter 257 C Its Spraying! (2)
Unbelievable
Inside the Observer Conference Hall, the various countries representatives and technical staff members stared at the screen without blinking. Occasionally, bursts of exclamation would also exit their mouths.
Currently, displayed on the screen were ripples spreading through the water one after another. The camera also shook along with the violent ripples.
Fortunately, with the cameras powerful performance, everyone could clearly see what was happening in front of the camera.
That was a metal cylinder!
It was a cylinder that was continuously expanding and splitting!
Like a fragmented grenade that had exploded, the originally perfect cylinder had already split into thousands of metal fragments at this time. The fragments also quickly spread out to a 100-meter radius.
Meanwhile, every piece of metal had a slender wire made of unknown material connected to them. These wires were so thin that they were difficult to perceive with the naked eye. Yet, despite being so flimsy, the wires remained unperturbed under the strong underwater currents.
From the cameras perspective, it looked as if an asteroid belt was orbiting a star! The metal fragments also reflected the light coming from the camera, creating a blurry yet beautiful scene.
After the cylinder was done expanding horizontally, it began extending vertically downward. Ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred meters The cylinder reached the seabed in the blink of an eye.
The extension process was simple. Like a modern fishing rod, tubes of a smaller diameter continually emerged from larger diameter tubes. The only difference was that the Earth Sprays craftsmanship was exquisite. The tubes thickness was so thin that it was almost impossible to see the tubes difference in diameter.
Seeing this, Chen Yu, who was far above the oceans surface, immediately manipulated the camera and had it dive down to the seabed to get a clearer view of the extended metal tube.
As the audio playing in the livestream rooms was recorded through Chen Yus watch, the people inside the Observer Conference Hall couldnt actually hear the loud vibrations reverberating through the seawater. However, just looking at the rising silt and the screens shaking allowed them to easily imagine how powerful the collision between the tube and the seabed was.
The bottom of the tube isnt sharp, so how did it penetrate the seabed so quickly? the Australian representative asked the technical staff behind him in a hushed voice.
It is likely to be using a high-frequency oscillation technique. Not only does this method allow the tube to be inserted deep into the seabed, but it also tightens the silt around the tube, which prevents the tube from slipping out. This is my guess.
Oh Realization dawned upon the Australian representative. So, its similar to a concrete vibrator?
The principles are roughly the same. The technical staff nodded. However, the tubes technical content is several orders of magnitude higher. And if I were to guess, once the tube is inserted into position, it would probably further expand and thoroughly fix its position
Similar technical discussions were also happening all around the world.
This was also one of the important reasons why academia paid attention to Transdimensional Review.
It was so that they could have new predictions for the future direction of science and technology.
Watching the livestream also brought about a new systematic understanding of existing technology.
The silt layer is too dense to see whats going on underneath. However, Im guessing that once the tube plunges into the rock layer, it will expand there to stabilize the whole structure.
Chen Yus voice sounded in the ten livestream rooms, and the result of his analysis was surprisingly consistent with the various scientific researchers around the world!
This is roughly the same method used to fix the position of modern offshore installations. Since there is nothing left to see here, Ill have the camera return.
After saying so, Chen Yu had the camera ascend and continue observing the cylinders deformation process.
However, even after the cylinders lower-half hit rock bottom, it didnt stop expanding. On the contrary, it expanded even more rapidly, pushing the cylinder toward the oceans surface.
Those attentive in the livestream rooms would see that the tubes outer wall was covered in holes of various sizes to accommodate the influx of vast amounts of seawater.
Simultaneously, driven by the underwater currents, the scattered metal fragments also started spinning rapidly.
[Is it self-generating power?]
[How can they spin so fast?]
[Dont ask. The only answer youll get is that its future technology.]
[Its calculated, right? There should be sensors on the sheets, and the central computer will adjust the angle of the sheets in real-time to ensure the side with positive resistance always faces the water currents, while the side with negative resistance is always flattened. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how the sheets can spin so rapidly.]
[Crap! Awesome!]
[I heard modern wind turbines use this method. However, due to material limitation, they cant turn as fiercely as these things.]
[Power generator (x); Meat grinder ()!]
[This really is the magic of nature]
After obtaining power from the hydropower equipment, the Earth Spray began treating a massive amount of seawater in the overhead pipeline. The deafening roar generated by the device could even be heard from above the ocean.
This is the power of industry.
Sighing, Chen Yu had the camera return to the surface and quietly waited for the metal cylinder to protrude from the ocean.
Boom!
Finally, half a minute later, the two-meter-diameter cylinder emerged from the water and saw the sun again.
Is it over? No, not yet.
Buzz
The next moment, the crisp sound of a mechanical transmission appeared, and the cylinders outer surface continuously fragmented. The fragmented parts then quickly spread out to form a giant platform with a diameter of over 50 meters!
At this point, the Earth Spray had officially taken shape.
Whoosh.
Boom.
Chen Yu landed on the platform and bent down to feel the platforms smooth surface. He then approached the cannon barrel in the platforms center and tentatively looked down the barrel.
[Danger!]
[Fire!]
[It would be Gods doing if the host were to get blasted into space at this time.]
No need to worry. Calcium chloride is essential for the production of metallic sodium. Without it, the Earth Spray shouldnt be capable of performing any powerful water spray operations.
Walking past the spray nozzle, Chen Yu pointed to the small channel on his left. This is the inlet for the calcium chloride. As you can see, the chemical formula, CaCl2, is written on the ground.
The protruding pipe on the right should be the chlorine gass outlet. I plan to use the island-building ship to collect the produced gas. However, Im not doing it just to sell the gas for money. Chlorine is a highly toxic gas. If too much of it is released into the open air, it might endanger the artificial island nearby. It might also react with hydrogen to cause a big explosion.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned to face the camera and smiled. Everything is ready. Once again, we have reached the stage where we need government cooperation. Like the maglev train, this products ownership will remain with me, or to the Transdimensional Academy. The various governments will supply the required materials. All profits generated and usage rights will be distributed according to the investments made on Light Island.
To hasten the reviews speed, well collect the calcium chloride from America and China. Both parties, please transport a large amount of calcium chloride to a specified location and privately message me the location in ten minutes. I will go collect it after ten minutes. In return, Ill give you the chlorine gas generated for free.
Besides that, I heard Russia has built a multi-person space capsule? I think its scheduled for launch in 2022. No need to wait that long. Let me launch it for you. Have it ready within ten minutes and message me the address.
After giving out his orders, Chen Yu spread his hands and proudly said, How far-sighted of me. Everyone, do you know why I left my female assistant in the floating castle? It is for this situation now. We can have her open a portal here from the Academy, saving me the trouble to make the return trip.
Dududu
However, as soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the faint sound of spinning propellers came from a distance.
Stunned, Chen Yu turned to the sounds origin and saw two helicopters flying toward him.
Meanwhile, there was a figure poking out of the window of the leading helicopter. This figure waved at Chen Yu and shouted through a loudspeaker, Hey! I finally caught up!
Chen Yu:
Chapter 258 - It’s Spraying! (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 258 C Its Spraying! (3)
After flying back to the floating castle with a grim look on his face, Chen Yu moved the Interstellar Portal onto the Earth Sprays platform.
He then summoned the island-building ship to the platform with his watch and inserted one of its huge and robust pipes into the chlorine outlet.
However, the island-building ship was a product of the 22nd century, and the Earth Spray was produced in the 25th century. There was a difference in specifications. As a result, the pipe connection wasnt perfect.
To prevent the poisonous chlorine gas from leaking out, Chen Yu plugged the gaps using dense materials.
All is well.
After shaking off the dust sticking to his protective suit, Chen Yu circled around the pipe connection and nodded. Although some gas will still leak into the air, there shouldnt be any significant problems for now. Well wait until the various governments make their own matching nozzles.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time. He then approached the portal, called up the virtual Earth projection, and entered the address sent to him by the American government. Its been ten minutes already. The calcium chloride and space capsule should be ready.
Buzz.
Accompanied by a low humming sound, the world inside the portal changed from the hall occupied by the Transdimensional Academys professors to an open beside a factory.
The open area was currently occupied by soldiers and a large platform stacked with thousands of tonnes of calcium chloride.
Chen Yu could also see the headlights of many trucks approaching from a distance, and these trucks filled to the brim with calcium chloride as well.
Upon seeing the metal arch appearing, the officer in command picked up his communicator. After making a few grunts, he waved his hand and loudly shouted, Go! Go! Go!
Immediately afterward, hundreds of robust soldiers jumped onto the platform. Each of these soldiers then picked up three bags of calcium chloride before rushing to the portal under the gaze of Chen Yu and the livestreams 25 million viewers.
Rustle
Rustle Rustle
In less than five minutes, over a thousand bags of snowy white calcium chloride had disappeared into the Earth Sprays inlet already. Even so, the inlet still showed no signs of being full at all.
Meanwhile, upon receiving the final component necessary for its operation, the equipment inside the Earth Spray began conducting electrolytic reactions. Simultaneously, the initially quiet platform began to vibrate violently, which severely delayed the soldiers transportation operation.
However, the commanding officer quickly responded to the situation and immediately had the soldiers switch to passing the bags from hand to hand. This reduced the soldiers footsteps and allowed the transportation process to progress as efficiently as before.
[So, this is a commanding officer? His adaptability is frightening!]
[Youll end up dead if you cant think quickly on the battlefield.]
[You guys are overthinking things. Im an expert in this field. There is always a staff meeting before the actual operation.]
[Expert my ass! Do you think everything will always go according to plan?]
[No need to be afraid when faced with an incompetent national football team! Just smile and bet against the team! The best way to overcome an incompetent team is to make money off of it!]
[Brother, youre talking about the wrong thing]
[Someone finally went nuts from watching the stream. Take him away.]
Ten minutes later, all the calcium chloride on the platform had been transported. Meanwhile, the hundred-plus muscular soldiers had grown so exhausted that they saw stars with their eyes. Some of the weaker ones even vomited on the spot.
Mr. King, the second batch of calcium chloride will arrive in 16 minutes. The total amount is 6,000 tonnes. Please wait a moment, the commanding officer reported to Chen Yu after stepping through the portal.
Its fine. Let these Spartan warriors rest, Chen Yu said with a grimace. Im heading to Chinas side.
Understood!
The officer bowed and directed the laborers back through the portal.
The will of soldiers showered with money really is frightening.
Chen Yu sighed and disconnected the spatial link. He then entered the address the Chinese government sent him.
Buzz!
The world inside the metal arch turned from nighttime to daytime.
The chosen site was similarly an open area located beside a chemical factory.
However, different from the Americans, the Chinese side didnt stack their calcium chloride on a platform. Instead, they stored it inside a massive industrial silo. A brand-new sandblasting machine was also temporarily welded to the bottom of the silo.
When the Interstellar Portal appeared, six soldiers promptly carried the connecting pipe through the portal.
Hello, Mr. King!
The site supervisor approached and bowed to Chen Yu. We have gathered all of the industrial parks calcium chloride. They can be injected right away.
How much did you prepare?
Thirty-four thousand tonnes.
How much?!
Thirty-four thousand tonnes, the supervisor repeated. This is already everything the chemical plants in the park have. However, itll only take an additional ten minutes before we can gather the calcium chloride in Guangdong Provinces Huitian Industrial Park. We estimate there to be over 60,000 tonnes.
Chen Yu:
Commander! We are done docking the pipeline! The connection is perfect!
At this time, the six soldiers had successfully inserted the special pipeline into the platforms inlet and turned around to report the situation.
Go!
The supervisor immediately raised his hand and gestured to the operator behind him.
Rumble Rumble
The next moment, the sandblasting machine let out a deafening roar and pouring tonne after tonne of calcium chloride into the Earth Spray.
[Awesome.]
[A silent prayer for Americas soldiers.]
[Its just a different way of thinking.]
[Its a matter of regulations. Conditions are preventing America from refitting storage silos and sandblasting machines near a calcium chloride production plant. The fact that America was able to gather so much manpower and materials in such a short time is already plenty amazing.]
[+1. America doesnt have multi-functional and cooperative industrial parks like China. During emergencies, some industrial parks can even build complete tanks.]
1
[This is also calcium chloride we are talking about. If the Earth Spray wanted steel, the steel mills in our parks can provide as much steel as it wants.]
[Say it with me. China is awesome.]
[Awesome!]
[Awesome! +1]
[Awesome]
When Chen Yu looked at the soldiers idly standing around and thought back to Americas Spartan warriors, he couldnt help but sigh ruefully.
Under the sandblasting machines efficient injection, it took less than five minutes before the platform lit up with an orange glow.
A warning sound also appeared.
[Calcium chloride supply has passed the standard value. Please stop filling.]
[Calcium chloride supply has passed]
Thats enough! Chen Yu immediately waved his hand. Stop! Stop!
The site supervisor promptly stood up and shouted at the operator, Stop!
In response, the machine operator hurriedly pressed the red Stop button, and the sandblasting machine instantly stopped working.
Following this, the operator skillfully retracted the leftover calcium chloride in the pipeline, reducing the six soldiers burden when they transported the pipeline back to the machine.
It seems there are surplus materials. Facing the camera, Chen Yu shrugged, This thing cant handle too much calcium chloride.
[Energy reserves have exceeded the standard value. The pressurized furnace will stop operating.]
The energy reserves are filled up much faster than I expected as well.
After helping the soldiers disconnect the pipeline from the inlet, Chen Yu closed the inlets opening and nodded, Comrades, youve worked hard.
Youve worked hard as well.
The six soldiers responded in unison before picking up the pipeline and returning through the portal.
Hmm Shouldnt there be a Youve served the people well following it?
[UP, what are you thinking?]
[Thats not something that can be casually said. Only people of sufficiently high rank can receive such a reply.]
[Isnt the hosts rank pretty high up as well?]
[Its finally going to spray water.]
[Eagerly waiting]
Ignoring the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu put on his glove and signaled the two helicopters in the sky to retreat. He then tentatively approached the cannon in the platforms center and looked toward the camera. First, lets start it up and test its effects. There might be a loud explosion at the start, so make sure to lower your volume settings.
Three.
Two.
One!
Beep!
As soon as Chen Yu pressed the Test Start button, the platform immediately began vibrating violently.
Even with the protective suits support, Chen Yu still subconsciously backed away from the outlet when he sensed the violent shaking coming from his feet.
The next moment
Boom!!!
A water column with a three-meter diameter emerged from the outlet and pierced the sky like a sharp blade!
Its spraying!
Excited, Chen Yu shouted, Its spraying!
Chapter 259 - Circling the Pacific Ocean (1)
Chapter 259 C Circling the Pacific Ocean (1)
Rumble, rumble!
Water carrying hundreds of tonnes of force sprayed out of the nozzle. The water reached up to 200 meters into the air before succumbing to gravity and scattering.
From afar, it looked as if a gigantic umbrella made of water, and it was incredibly beautiful.
Pitter-patter Pitter-patter
Reaching out, Chen Yu tried catching the falling drops of seawater with his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, Thats a lot.
[Whats a lot?]
[Why do I feel a hint of perverseness?]
[How spectacular!]
[It only sprayed up by a few hundred meters! Im leaving a bad review!]
[This is foreplay. Itll spray even higher afterward.]
[What are you guys talking about? As a lonely man born in the 90s, I cant understand what youre saying.]
[Now that there are more spectators, the number of people with dirty minds have also increased. Im turning off the bullet comments.]
[Bear with it. There are simply too few serious people like us.]
The test is a success. The pipeline is unblocked. After using the seawater to wash away the calcium chloride powder stuck to his suit, Chen Yu manipulated the portals virtual Earth. Now, all we need to do is get Russias space capsule, and we can rise to heaven.
Shortly afterward, a new spatial link was established, and the scenery inside the metal arch changed once more. The location this time was set inside an indoor hall covering several thousand square meters.
Many pieces of machinery were chaotically arranged inside the hall. However, the four-meter-tall, six-meter-wide space capsule stood out so much that it instantly grabbed everyones attention.
Thats the space capsule Russia developed. Its name is Andromeda, and it is larger than the Orion spacecraft produced by NASA in 2018. Andromeda has eight seats in total.
While giving an introduction to his audience, Chen Yu entered the hall under the gaze of many military officers, special agents, and professors. When he arrived before the space capsule, he gave the capsules inconspicuous metal surface a few taps. If we use the Earth Spray to launch this thing, we can remove both the seats and dashboards. And with the additional space, we can fit at least an extra dozen people or so.
Uu
At this time, a choked crying sound suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers.
Turning around, Chen Yu found an old professor with a gray beard wiping his tears sadly and doing his best to suppress his crying.
Whats wrong with him? Chen Yu asked the tall man, who looked to be in charge, in confusion.
Mr. King, I am delighted to meet you, the person in charge said as he quickly blocked the old professor with his body. In a strange Chinese accent, he continued, We have already removed the space capsules internal facilities. Taking into account your portals size, we have also split the capsules body into two parts, and they can be transported at any ti
I asked whats wrong with him? Chen Yu interrupted the other party.
He After a moment of hesitation, the person in charge stammered, He is Andromedas Ch-Chief Engineer and Designer. He became emotionally unstable when he saw the capsule getting torn apart. B-But it doesnt matter. Mr. King, you dont need to mind him.
Oh. After visually scanning the old man a few times, Chen Yu nodded and said, Start transporting the capsule, then. Thank you for supporting my review.
It is our honor.
After giving a solemn reply, the person in charge quickly directed the two nearby cranes to lift the space capsule and move it through the portal.
Uu
Seeing his own child getting dismembered, the old professor collapsed emotionally and started wailing loudly. I-It was so close to being fully outfitted. It was just missing a propulsion engine
Since young till now, this was the first time Chen Yu had seen someone crying even more pitifully than Chen Sanke. After thinking a little bit, he stepped forward and patted the old mans shoulders, Hey, old man, dont cry.
Why I-It was about to fly in just another year
Okay, stop crying. Isnt it just a space capsule? Ill get Russian to make you another one in the future. A bigger one, even.
Mr. King The old professor wiped away his tears with his sleeves. He then hoarsely said, It is Andromedas core cabin. If you make a new cabin, it wont bethe original one.
Is that so? Chen Yu scratched his helmet uncomfortably, a sense of guilt subconsciously appearing in his heart.
I feel sorry for it. All you need is a tightly sealed, temperature resistant shell, butbut it couldve performed much greater feats. Uu
Chief Ivan! The person in charge standing at a side finally couldnt take it any longer. Sternly, he shouted, ߧ֧֧֧֧էӧ! (Dont go too far!)
I created it part by part! The old mans face flushed red in anger, and he started coughing violently. Icough, coughI cant even cry for it? Given my physical condition, theres never going to be another chance for me tocough, coughrebuild it!
ܧ֧ۧԧ. (Take him away and have him calm down.)
ߧ֧ߧѧէ! (No!) the old professor roared hoarsely.
Okay, stop arguing. Chen Yu held back the two soldiers approaching the old professor. Once people grow old and frail, their minds will become more sensitive. Try to understand. Also, this is my problem. After saying so, Chen Yu patted the old mans shoulders. Old man, why are you crying again?
Uu The old professor pursed his lips and remained silent. However, tears continually leaked out of his eyes.
Even your snot is going into your mouth?!
Uu
How about this? Sighing, Chen Yu pointed at the water column beyond the portal and said, As compensation, Ill take you to space with me afterward.
Woo~ Woohoo~ Woohoo~ Ahahahaha!
Chen Yu: ?
The surrounding crowd:
The livestreams 26 million viewers:
Were done assembling it!
Ten minutes later, the old Russian professor clasped the last metal buckle and completed the space capsules reassembly. He then excitedly said, The seal is perfect! It can be used directly!
Seeing this, Chen Yu opened his mouth but failed to utter any words.
Esteemed Mr. King. Approaching Chen Yu, the old professor eagerly said, You should turn the spray off for now. Ill have the cranes lift the space capsule onto the nozzle.
Chen Yu didnt make a verbal reply. He simply nodded and dazedly reached out to the console by the nozzle. He then turned off the spray, causing the jet of water to instantly weaken until it disappeared completely.
Quick! Push it up! the old professor shouted.
. (Okay.)
Brr
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud boom, the semi-conical space capsule sat perfectly centered on the nozzle.
What a perfect fit! The old professor waved his hands excitedly. It is practically made to be the Earth Sprays space capsule! This is where it truly belongs! Using a rocket to propel it is simply doing it an injustice!
You should get on board first, Chen Yu expressionlessly said.
Sure! After spitting out some Northeastern Mandarin, the old Russian climbed up a ladder leading to the capsules top. He then agilely hopped into the capsule like a monkey.
Dammit.
After secretly cursing under his breath, Chen Yu faced the camera and patted the round glass embedded in the space capsule. He then loudly said, The capsule can accommodate more than 15 people. After including me and my female assistant, this unprecedented space journey can still hold twelve more passengers. So, for the livestreams final phase Im sure everyone knows what to do, even without me stating it.
Wave your bills!
Release your luck!
Come here and personally witness the scariest super fountain in Earths history!
Chapter 260 - Circling the Pacific Ocean (2)
Chapter 260 C Circling the Pacific Ocean (2)
America, NASA Headquarters, second-floor:
Keke, do you think well foolishly let you humiliate us again?
Standing inside an independent office, NASAs director chuckled as he looked through his offices glass wall and watched the livestream playing on the main screen in the second-floor hall. When he looked at Chen Yus figure, he repeatedly sneered, Even if NASAs funds are plentiful, I wont let you play us for fools!
Director.
At this time, one of the many assistants standing beside the director stepped forward and hesitantly asked, Are we really not going to participate in the bidding this time?
Is it even necessary to participate? the director asked with squinted eyes. We have always donated the greatest amount every time, yet not once have we been selected! Transdimensionals UP is the most narrow-minded and vile person in the world! He utterly lacks international spirit and foresight for the big picture! You want me to throw more money at him? Bullshit!
But Subconsciously lowering his voice, the assistant said, Transdimensionals UP has stated since the beginning that participants arent selected based on their donation amount. Bigger donations only earn you a greater chance of being selected.
If it happened only once, twice, or even thrice, I might be able to accept it. Clenching his fists, the director gnashed his teeth and said, But not getting selected for the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and even tenth time?! Who can accept such a result?! Do I look like a fool to you!?
The assistant remained silent.
Tell me! The director demanded. Pointing at his own forehead, he bellowed, Look at me! Do I look like a fool?!
Y
What?!
Y-Youre right
Hearing this, the director nodded and said, He is deliberately targeting NASA.
Yes, yes, yes.
The higher-ups have already grown dissatisfied with me due to the several failed bids from before. If I continue wasting our funds, do you think I can continue retaining my director position?
B-But if we dont transfer the funds now, it will be too late once the bidding starts.
Ive already said NASA isnt participating in this damned auction! Let everyone see how abominable Transdimensionals UP is!
O-Okay Helpless, the assistant backed away.
Hmph. Returning his gaze to the big screen outside, the director placed his hands behind his back. With a piercing look in his eyes, he mumbled, Picking a fight with me?
Meanwhile, standing on the Andromeda space capsule, Chen Yu faced the camera and said, Due to the capsules limited space, to make the travel experience as comfortable as possible, I will only be recruiting for two groups of participants: the bullet comment group and donation group. The rules will be the same as usual. One group will rely on luck, while the other will rely on luck and money.
Ill dispense with the nonsense and start the lottery straight away.
First, Ill select five members for the bullet comment group!
After Chen Yu said so, a tsunami of bullet comments flooded the 10 livestream rooms.
[OHHH!]
[1111!]
[Pick me! Pick me!]
[I know I wont win, but Im still going to lower everyone elses win rate. ( ??? )]
[Lowering win rate.]
[Lowering. +1]
[If I turn off the bullet comment display and submit my entry, Ill be the only person to have submitted an entry.]
Three minutes later, Chen Yu raised his wrist and scanned his watchs screen. He then shouted, Stop!
Ive selected the five lucky winners for the bullet comment group! I will now announce their names.
Bilibili, ID River Mountain 457.
DouYu, ID Crazed Awakening.
Afreeca TV, ID Dim Memory.
Youtube, ID, LONGsenve.
Lastly, Japans Niconico, ID Huh?
When Chen Yu saw the IDs listed for Niconicos platform, he couldnt help but grow puzzled. Why are everyones IDs made up of random alphabets and numbers? Are you guys stupid?
Livestream audience from Japan:
I hate netizens who dont use good names the most. Please think of proper names next time. Pausing slightly, Chen Yu tapped his watchs screen and continued, Niconico, ID CC178.
Lowering his hand, Chen Yu looked at the camera and continued, The IDs mentioned above, you are officially RNG Gods who have won a lottery with a 5 in 25.35 million probability. I have already granted you access to private message me. You have one minute to send me your addresses. Otherwise, youll be disqualified.
[Dammit! Im salty again!]
[These people have such luck, yet they dont use it for a better reincarnation. They deserve to live on the streets!]
[Youre overthinking things. Such lucky bastards definitely wouldnt have a bad reincarnation. The world is such an unfair place. :)]
[Its almost the New Year! Hurry up and suck up the luck of these bastards! Time to get rich!!]
[Suck!]
[ll suck!]
[Suck, suck, suck]
Next, its the donation groups turn.
Looking back at the space capsule behind him, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before saying, As a side note, because todays interactive event is related to aerospace, I will lean towards choosing space-related units or institutions for the donation group.
Meanwhile, when thinking of space-related institutions, I have no choice but to bring up Americas National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which has the deepest involvement in the field of space.
At present, NASA should be the most authoritative aerospace scientific research institution in the world, and it has made indelible contributions to human civilization. For a long time now, NASA has also been the biggest supporter of my program. Hence
Smiling, Chen Yu spread his arms and said, For todays lottery, so long as NASA participates and ranks within the top five of the donation amount, I will guarantee a spot for NASA! Let us experience the charm of future space technology to create more brilliant achievements!
Well, then
The lottery for the donation group begins now!
[Notice: Volvo Company has sent 50,000x Super Rockets!]
[Notice: China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation has sent 4,500x Transdimensional Glory!]
[Notice: Intels Toothpaste Supplier has sent 3,888x Transdimensional Glory!]
[Notice: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has sent 20,000x Flashlights!]
[Notice: ]
Snap!
Five minutes later, Chen Yu snapped his fingers to stop the many institutions fanatical spending.
Stop! Times up!
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu slid his finger across his watch and carefully inspected the donation ranking list. A moment later, a frown formed on his face.
Huh?
Wheres NASA?
Is there something wrong with the system?
Chen Yu quickly swiped through the list. However, even after reaching the 100th rank, he still hadnt found NASAs ID.
This
Looking at the camera in a daze, Chen Yu scratched his helmet and said, Does this mean NASA doesnt want to get involved in the interactive event this time? This is unexpected.
If thats the case, as a fair, open, and third-party reviewer, I will not force the subject. I will respect your decision, NASA.
Then, I will now announce the winners.
Bilibili, ID China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation.
Youtube, ID Space X Space Exploration Technology Corporation.
Periscope, ID Airbus Company
The aforementioned IDs, send me your addresses within one minute. Also, each ID only gets to send one person.
After saying so, Chen Yu shrugged and continued, Its a pity that NASA didnt join. I guess they have their own ideas. How unfortunate.

Chapter 261 C Circling the Pacific Ocean (3)
Inside a quiet and depressing office, NASAs director stared out the glass wall and at the big screen in the hall, his hands cold and his expression dull.
D-Director! The funds have arrived! At this time, a male assistant suddenly opened the door to the office and ran in while gasping for air. Has the lottery started?
Its already ended.
Removing his glasses with his trembling right hand, the director lowered his head and pulled out a cardboard box from under his desk. He then silently packed his office supplies into the box.
Director
Stop calling me that. Picking up the cardboard box, NASAs director scanned the chicly decorated office before muttering, Listen. Do you hear that sound?
W-What sound?
Closing his eyes, the former NASA director said, Its here. The sound of festivities (Add BGM here)
We have our ten participants. I will now begin teleporting them here. The order is the same as usual.
After saying so, Chen Yu skillfully manipulated the virtual globe and entered the address of the bullet comment groups first member.
First, Youtubes RNGesus, LONGsenve!
The next moment, space within the metal arch distorted, and a blond, brawny man with a big waist charged out of it. With a face flushed with excitement, the man spread out his arms and pounced on Chen Yu for a bear hug. I got chose! I finally got chosen by the host!
Having long since prepared for this situation, Chen Yu pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber without hesitation. Dont come here!
The brawny man abruptly halted his footsteps.
Back away! At attention! Turn right! Start walking!
B-But the sea is on my right
Yes. Just walk into the sea and cool yourself.
D-Dont mess around, Host. Ive calmed down already The brawny man raised his hands in submission, and obediently stood at a corner of the metal platform.
Storing the lightsaber away, Chen Yu approached the brawny man and scanned him with a sharp gaze.
Gulp. Like a bullied daughter-in-law, the brawny man pitifully asked, H-Host, Whats wrong?
Chen Yu did not respond. Instead, he suddenly removed his helmet, leaned closer to the brawny man, and inhaled deeply. Sniff
1
The brawny man: (??;)
Dont mind it. Chuckling, Chen Yu said, The New Year is almost here. Im trying to inhale some luck.
The brawny man:
Now, lets continue with the teleportation! Chen Yu said as he returned to the Interstellar Portal and entered the second participants address. Bilibilis River Mountain 457.
Half a minute later, a bespectacled, gentlemanly young man walked out of the portal. The young man then bowed and said, Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to travel to space, UP.
Oh? Youre actually calm? Chen Yu was surprised. You have a great mentality!
Im a clinician, the youth declared as he pushed against his glasses. I just injected myself with a tranquilizer.
Subsequently, Chen Yu successfully teleported the bullet comment groups three lucky winners.
Crazed Awakening, a university teacher. Sniff
Dim Memory, a housewife from Korea. Sniff
CC178, a cute girl from Japan. Sniff, sniff, sniff
After getting a whiff of the five blessed individuals luck, Chen Yu put his helmet back on and quickly teleported the donation groups five members.
The donation groups members were: the Director of the China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation, a Director from the Airbus Company, the General Manager of Google Planetary Resources, a representative from Arianespace, and SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Corporations CEOElon Musk.
Chen Yu only exchanged a simple handshake with the first four people. However, when he arrived before Musk, he spread his arms and gave the latter a tight hug.
Chen Yu greatly admired Elon Musk.
1
In Chen Yus eyes, Elon Musk, who had devoted himself to the field of space, was a true pioneer of space.
Whether it was SpaceX, Tesla, or even SolarCity, Elon Musk had founded every one of these companies as a foundation to explore the universe in the future. He had never done any useless tasks, and his goal had always remained firm and down-to-earth. Money, status, connections, knowledge, technologyeverything was a tool for his incredible career.
While there was a possibility that Elon Musk was merely putting on an excellent act, but so long as his facade remained flawless, Chen Yus favorability for him would not decrease.
Hello, nice to meet you.
Hello, hello! Musk responded joyfully, flattered by Chen Yus actions.
Your companys reusable rockets are a great achievement! Only a great company like it can help humanity advance, Chen Yu said as he amiably patted Musks shoulders like a bigshot.
Y-Youre overexaggerating. Its just a meager achievement. Only a leader of future technology like yourself can lead humanity forward.
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu said, What you said is quite reasonable.
Y-Yes. Musks Chinese was poor, so his pronunciation was slightly off.
Once the review is over, I might have a partnership to discuss with you.
Partnership? Musks spirits sharpened. Tentatively, he asked, Is it about space?
Yes. To be precise, its related to your dream. Truthfully, that is also one of my dreams.
Hearing this, Musks pupils shrank.
Alright, lets not talk about that for now.
Turning around, Chen Yu scanned the people on the platform before disconnecting the Interstellar Portals spatial link. He then approached the space capsule and tapped on the steel ladder, saying, Since everyone is here already, lets not waste time. Line up by your order of arrival, enter the space capsule, and wait for takeoff.
The Earth Spray calculates all parameters intelligently, so the acceleration process should be stable. However, for everyones safety, those with heart disease, severe hypertension, fear of heights, and epilepsy, I recommend you withdraw from the event. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for any accidents that happen.
Everyone shook their heads in response to Chen Yus suggestion.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even death would be a small price to pay if they could experience this ride
Good. Now, enter the capsule!
At Chen Yus command, the ten participants lined up immediately and climbed up the ladder one after another.
Wait for me! Little Peach, who rode on a helicopter hovering in the distance, shouted anxiously. She then jumped straight into the ocean.
Splash!
Wait forguruguru I want toguruguru
After doggy-paddling for three minutes, Little Peach arrived at the metal platform.
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu said, Are you crazy? I never said I was going to bring you.
[Female assistant?~]
[Shes wet.]
[What an excellent figure! She looks absolutely gorgeous!]
[Its 2021. Anyone who doesnt reveal their faces will be treated as Qiao Biluo.]
[You guys are just lusting for her body! Scoundrels!]
[Yes, I am lusting for her body. I am honest. ( ????)]
Shortly afterward, everyone, including Little Peach, had entered the space capsule. They laid down on the glass window and stared at Chen Yu.
A shocking scene is soon to come. To ensure everyone in the audience can get an exciting view, I will have the camera stay outside the capsule.
In a way, those watching the livestream are more fortunate as those inside the capsule wont get to see the super-fountain.
After saying so, Chen Yu clicked the Start button on the Earth Sprays console. He then jumped into the space capsule, closed the hatch with a bang, and locked it.
[Testing complete.]
[Planning ascension route.]
[Planning complete.]
[Energy reserves at 100%.]
A mechanical voice echoed across the ocean surface.
Then, a thundering sound came from the pipeline underneath the space capsule
Boom!
The next second
The world shook!
Chapter 262 - Mars Colonization Plan!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 262 C Mars Colonization Plan!
The ocean was both profound and majestic.
At the Pacific Oceans equator, thousands of tonnes of seawater was being dragged around by tidal forces. While the ocean appeared calm, but it was, in fact, fiercely flowing and driving the Earth Sprays hydroelectric power generator.
Any fish that recklessly approached the Earth Spray would be turned into minced meat in the blink of an eye.
1
Meanwhile, inside the main pipeline, large amounts of sodium chloride solution were currently being mixed with calcium chloride and undergoing electrolysis under high temperature and pressure to produce metallic sodium. Subsequently, the metallic sodium reacts with water to produce hydrogen fuel, which was then transferred into the upper and lower rows of linear engine units. And upon receiving fuel, the engines fired up and started generating intense vibrations
Hold the handles firmly, stabilize your center of gravity, and dont fall, Chen Yu sternly warned everyone as he grabbed onto the impromptu handrails the Russians welded onto the space capsules inner walls. If the sprays impact gets too strong, you can ask me for help. Understand?
Understood.
OK.
No problem
As the seconds passed, the space capsules vibrations grew increasingly intense. Soon, the world in front of everyone started shaking, and anxiety filled the capsule.
Rumble
Rumble Rumble
Looking through the window, Chen Yu could see violent waves forming nearby. It looked as if a typhoon was raging in the area. He found it truly hard to imagine what kind of terrifying energy was currently being accumulated inside the Earth Spray.
Its coming! Chen Yu abruptly shouted when he sensed his feet going numb from the intense vibrations. Hold tight!
Everyone inside the capsule sharpened their spirits and tightened their grips on the handrails.
The next moment
Boom!
A deafening thunder came from under everyones feet!
Everyone momentarily felt the world around them spinning. Immediately afterward, everyones chests grew stuffy as the gravitational acceleration acting on them increased. Simultaneously, the scenery outside the window also became blurred and distorted under the waves of water.
Unlike the people inside the capsule, though, the livestreams 25 million viewers got to witness a much spectacular scene.
At this time, a three-meter-diameter water column carrying incredible potential energy was pushing the Andromeda space capsule upward. And during the spraying process, the water column continuously added more force to the capsule, causing the latter to ascend at an increasingly greater speed.
If one looked from afar, it would look as if the water column was paving a road that extended indefinitely to the end of the world
[Crap!]
[Too awesome]
[This is only the prelude. Once the capsule flies to a height of several dozen kilometers, the spray would become even more powerful to further push the capsule.]
[I suddenly have a bold idea!]
[Is there really no cost to go into space?]
[Perpetual motion machines cannot exist. Once the sodium chloride in the ocean is diluted to a certain extent, this fountain method will become useless.]
[We cant burn oil for 10,000 years either. Im sure humanity will find a new substitute before we exhaust the sodium chloride in the ocean.]
Just as some of the commenters had expected, as the water column reached increasingly greater heights, to ensure the space capsule had sufficient acceleration, the cannons strength also grew greater.
At this time, the two helicopters hovering nearby had no choice but to quickly retreat to prevent themselves from getting damaged by the horrific sonic booms!
In addition, due to the intense vibrations, the materials Chen Yu used to seal the Earth Sprays chlorine gas outlet also crumbled into pieces and got washed away by the surging tides.
Fortunately, the initial decomposition stage was already over, and the highly toxic chlorine gas was no longer being generated.
The acceleration has stabilized. Everyone, you can relax now.
Relaxing his grip on the handrails, Chen Yu scanned everyone in the capsule and said, It seems everyone is fine. Sit down, then. At our current speed, it will still take some time to reach low Earth orbit.
Hearing Chen Yus instructions, the participants sat down and curiously leaned against the window to look at the scenery outside. Unfortunately, the capsules exterior was enveloped by raging torrents of water, so they couldnt see anything.
How magical
Musk reached out and touched the glass window. As he felt the vibration coming from the outside, his mind thought about the practicality of the Earth Spray.
On a large scale, Earth severely lacked in many types of resources.
However, the planet was incredibly rich in oceanic resources!
Meanwhile, with this Earth Spray launcher, the cost of space operations could basically be reduced to zero!
In that case, it wouldnt be too difficult to set up an ultra-large space station that integrated scientific research, observation, housing, tourism, and commerce. They could simply send the necessary materials up into space piece by piece and assemble them in space.
And using this space station as a base, occupying the moon, colonizing Mars, landing on outer planets, etc., would also come naturally.
Although these feats could similarly be achieved with the help of Transdimensionals UPs Interstellar Portal, that person was basically their ancestor. None of the worlds various governments dared to make troublesome requests of him.
Space development had been sluggish in the past few decades due to its high costs and uncertain benefits. And without the help of national-level strength, it was incredibly difficult for the space industry to make any progress.
However, from today onward, costs relating to space equipment, materials, satellites, and energy would no longer exist. All plans pertaining to outer space could be slowly but surely implemented. The explosion of the aerospace industry was just around the corner!
With zero costs to enter space and the promotion of 5G networks, it wouldnt be long before human society would undergo a dramatic change.
Meanwhile, this was still only a future that did not account for the Transdimensional Academys possible scientific and technological achievements.
All of these changes Turning to look at Chen Yus back, Musk thought, They were all brought about by this mysterious person.
He
What kind of excellent and great man is he?
Friends and viewers in the livestream rooms, I dare say that the scenery outside must be very shocking! According to the information displayed in my helmet, weve already reached an altitude of 15,000 meters. A fountain thats over 10,000 meters in height! It must be a truly incredible sight.
After saying so, the excellent and great man removed his glove and looked at the image displayed on his watch. Sure enough This water spray is Tsk, tsk. Do you guys want to take a look as well?
Chen Yu then showed his watch to everyone inside the capsule.
Yes!
Thank you very much!
Amazing
The ten event participants gathered around Chen Yu and stared at his watch intently. They would also compare the scene they saw with the scene outside the window from time to time.
Alright. Five minutes later, Chen Yu retracted his hand. Thats it for now. Once we reach an altitude of 100,000 meters, the water volume should decrease. Just look out the window at that time.
Friends in the livestream rooms, according to the instruction manual, once the water columns energy consumption grows too wasteful, and the resistance and gravity the space capsule is subjected to lessens, the Earth Spray will automatically enter the second ascension stage.
At that time, a certain amount of metallic sodium will be injected into the water column. The sodium will then combine with the water to produce hydrogen. In turn, the hydrogen will react with the oxygen in the water in a high-speed, high-temperature, and high-pressure environment to generate a series of micro explosions, which would further propel the capsule upward.
After this stage is completed, the capsule should be lifted to an altitude of at least 100 to 200 kilometers above sea level.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu put his glove back on. He then gestured at the camera outside the space capsule and continued, Reaching this stage will take a very long time. Everyone, you can continue enjoying the high-altitude scenery. You can also go pee and compare the differences between the two water columns. I have something to do for now, so Ill be turning off the audio first.
Talk to you later.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned off the livestreams audio.
Afterward, he pondered for a moment before turning toward Musk and said, Friend, I told you about it before, but are you interested in a collaboration?
W-What kind of collaboration?
Mars Colonization!
1
Chapter 263 - Humanity Needs to Live on Mars
Chapter 263 C Humanity Needs to Live on Mars
Chen Yu fell into deep thought as he looked at Musks face.
Elon Musk.
When mentioning this person, several keywords would pop into the publics mind.
Tesla, SpaceX, Falcon 9, the reality version of Iron Man, andMars colonization!
Musk had more than once publicly announced his crazy plan to send humans to Mars in 2024 and establish colonies so that human civilization could thoroughly reside on the planet.
And in response to this delusion, some people supported him, and some praised him. Though, most people still mocked him and treated his words dismissively.
However, after Chen Yu found out about Musks deeds, he started believing in this delusion.
One year ago, to win an argument against Li Liang, Chen Yu had deliberately analyzed SpaceXs development schedule and used it to support his argument.
This was also one of the rare instances where Chen Yu took the initiative to learn something.
In 2202, Musk founded SpaceX and announced the design, manufacture, and launch of advanced rockets and spacecraft to the world. He had completely changed existing space technology so that mankind could survive on other planets.
However, all he got in return was ridicule from both government and private sectors.
In 2005, SpaceXs employee count reached 150. However, as the company was still in its preparation phase, it had yet to launch anything, not even a monkey.
This time, some people lacked even the interest to laugh at Musk and only looked at him in contempt.
This reaction was akin to how people of the 18th century reacted when faced with the proposal of the first car.
However, after the company entered its sixth year, as if the company had reached Level 6 and obtained its R-ability[1], it began developing at a frightening speed!
In 2008, the Falcon 1 rocket was successfully launched. Simultaneously, SpaceX also became the first private company to launch a liquid-fueled rocket successfully!
In 2009, SpaceX successfully launched a satellite into orbit.
In 2010, SpaceX launched the Cargo Dragon into orbit and successfully retrieved it.
In 2011, SpaceXs market value exceeded one billion US dollars.
In 2013, SpaceX successfully launched the SES-8 satellite to medium Earth orbit.
In 2015, SpaceX completed the launch of a high-orbit satellite and successfully recovered the Falcon 9 rocket. This was also the first time in human history that a used rocket had been recovered intact, and the whole world went into an uproar over it.
In 2018, SpaceX sent Elon Musks Tesla Roadster into the orbit between Mars and Jupiter.
In 2019, SpaceX became the worlds strongest and cheapest launch service provider. It had basically snatched the satellite launch contracts of all major aerospace countries, including America, China, Russian, and Japan.
At present date, SpaceX had already started the design and construction of the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), and the company estimated that it would send two cargo spacecraft to Mars in 2022. The company also estimated that in 2024, it would launch a fleet of manned spacecraft and conduct a large-scale landing on Mars.
Although Chen Yu found Musks vision of sending humans to Mars by 2024 to be a bit exaggerated, he had always been convinced that Musk would be able to accomplish all this within his lifetime.
However, Chen Yu planned to advance this plan by three years, allowing humans to settle permanently on Mars and achieve planetary colonization! He would fulfill both his and Musks dream.
This was also the dream of countless astronomy enthusiasts around the world!
After thinking up to this point, Chen Yu visually scanned Musk and went straight to the point. Friend, I told you about it before, but are you interested in a collaboration?
W-What kind of collaboration? Musk was an intelligent person. Hence, he had already vaguely guessed the truth based on Chen Yus behavior and tone, and he couldnt help but tremble slightly.
Mars Colonization! Chen Yu declared, smiling.
Musk suffered a cardiac arrest.
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, everyone else inside the space capsule couldnt help but look at him in shock. The Director of the China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation and Russias old engineer, in particular, even changed their normal standing postures.
M-Mars Colonization? Clenching his fists, Musk did his best to calm himself down before asking, The large-scale colony kind?
Of course. Chen Yu nodded. The colony of several people you planned for is too small and too boring. I have the Earth Spray and Interstellar Portal, so Im naturally going to build a big one. How about it? Are you interested in such a collaboration?
Yes! Musk agreed without hesitation. Im very interested!
Excellent. Well decide our collaboration terms verbally. When I have time, Ill invite you to the floating castle to discuss the plans details. For now, well just briefly talk about the colonization process.
Please speak. Musk bent his back slightly, lowering his posture.
Firstly, I will use the portal to connect to Marss orbit and toss out several of your reconnaissance satellites to search for water sources and suitable landing spots, Chen Yu said, narrating the general plan in his mind. Once youve found a landing point, well start transporting cargo, equipment, and operators en masse. Well construct buildings such as living cabins, training cabins, scientific research cabins, collection points, propellant factories, power generation modules, etc.
H-How long will you lend us your portal? Musk asked the crucial point.
Only twice. Chen Yu stretched out two fingers. The first time will be for releasing your satellites. The second time will be for transporting your supplies and workforce. That is more than enough. You cant expect me to be your babysitter. Earths and Marss orbits are synchronized once every two years. It will be 2021 soon. Your company only needs to wait one more year before the Big Falcon Rocket is ready to transport supplies to Mars, which just so happens to fit with your plan.
Musk remained silent for a moment as he quickly did some mental calculations. He then gritted his teeth and nodded, Its enough! If you can let my company use the Earth Spray, we can send materials to the colony even if the orbits arent synchronized.
Okay. Stretching out his hand, Chen Yu said, That settles it, then.
Thank you very much! Musk hurriedly shook Chen Yus hand. I assure you that it wont take more than three years for us to build a colonial city on Mars!
M-Mr. King At this time, the China Aerospace Corporations Director couldnt help but raise his hand and ask, Can China participate too?
Russia as well?
D-Does Google have a chance too?
Nope, nope. Chen Yu smirked inside his helmet. He then waved at these people dismissively and said, This partnership has nothing to do with you people. Every one of your space exploration programs has been competing in a snail race. Yet, now that you see a profit to be gained, youre suddenly interested in participating?
The donation groups three members immediately grew embarrassed and awkwardly looked at each other. They didnt know what they should say in this situation.
Not to mention, there are so many forces in this world. If I open the portal for every one of you to launch your satellites and transport cargo, how long will I have to keep doing it? You have a free launchpad now. If you want to have your own space colony, do it yourself.
The topic ends here.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned around and looked out the window. Oh? We can look outside already?
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, the bullet comment groups five members, who have been watching the show just now, immediately snapped out of their daze. They then leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside.
Oh
Perfect!
줤 (So beautiful)
At an altitude of 70,000 meters, the Earths curvature could already be seen very clearly.
Above the space capsule, there was the deep, dark outer space.
Below the capsule, there were the white clouds and blue sea.
The two contrasting sceneries joined together to form a beautiful picture that was beyond description
Its almost time for the second ascension stage, right?
After taking a tentative look at the turbulent seawater below the space capsule, Chen Yu reopened the livestreams audio and said, Friends and viewers, sorry for the long wait. Now, it wont be long before the second ascension stage begins. Once that is over, I will also be ending todays livestream. There isnt anything special to look at during the landing. At most, well release the capsules parachute and conduct a regular landing.
Huh? The elderly engineer from Russia couldnt help but be stunned by Chen Yus words. Instinctively, he asked, What parachute? This is an incomplete capsule. It doesnt have a parachute.
Chen Yu: ?!
The livestreams audience: ?!!
Everyone else in the capsule: !!!
Chapter 264 - Divine Elegance!
Chapter 264 C Divine Elegance!
You Russians Are you nuts? Chen Yu held his forehead in agony. You knew we were going to launch into space, yet you didnt think to put a parachute on this thing? Are we one-time astronauts?
W-We The old Russian engineer hesitantly said, You can freely fly into space and dig into the earth, so we never thought landing the capsule would be a problem.
Chen Yu:
[Oh! Its over!]
[Lololol!]
[Its another livestream disaster! Wait, why did I say another?]
[Who said they were willing to die for this trip just now? Is it worth it now?]
[I shouldnt laugh at others misfortune, but I really cant help but laugh, ahahaha]
[The missing parachute problem will be difficult to solve.]
[Theyre just a bunch of actors. This is definitely something planned for the show. Do you think the UP is an ordinary person?]
[Look at that Japanese girl! The smile on her face disappeared, ahahaha!]
[You bunch of demons! Please increase your efforts.]
Inside the space capsule, upon hearing Chen Yus conversation with the old engineer, everyones expression instantly turned ugly.
H-Host, can you resolve this problem? the blond, burly man from the bullet comment group asked nervously.
Everyone, please calm down. There is no need to worry. Chen Yu raised his hands and tried to calm everyones emotions. In the event of an accident, compensation will be paid within seconds.
Everyone:
Everyones panic immediately disappeared and turned intofear.
The Japanese girl named CC178 even burst into tears.
After he had appeased the group, Chen Yu looked toward the Russian engineer and asked in detail, If there isnt a parachute, is there a propulsion system?
Yes! The old engineer nodded and pointed at an instrument panel. The capsule can spray gas around to adjust its posture.
Nothing else?
Nothing else.
As if thats of any use!
Meanwhile, after hearing all of this, the young clinician pushed against his glasses and pulled out a syringe filled with anesthetic fluid. He then decisively injected himself with it
After seeing the rapidly increasing altitude displayed in his helmet, Chen Yu grew slightly anxious and started pacing around the capsule a few times. He then looked toward Musk and asked, Do you have any suggestions?
No, Musk answered as he tried his best to calm himself. The pressure difference between the inside and outside is too large. You cant exit the cabin. Does the launchpad have a supporting landing function?
No. Chen Yu shook his head. The products introduction has clearly stated that the Earth Spray is only responsible for launch operations. Once the capsule enters space, the Earth Spray will no longer interfere with it. Moreover, although my terminal can connect with the Earth Sprays terminal across long distances, its operation is irreversible once started. Our only choice is to adjust the capsules posture and have it deviate from the projected orbit.
But even if we exit the water columns range Biting his lip, Musk said, We will never survive a fall from 90,000 meters.
Its you guys, Chen Yu corrected. Ill be fine.
Ill be fine as well, Little Peach added.
Everyone:
[(sF)sߩ]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. Did they expend all of their luck?]
[Their luck got sucked away by us.]
[Happy New Year! Like it?]
[This is a lesson to be learned! Dont send bullet comments during the next lottery.]
[Yes. Leave the opportunity to people like us who deserve death!]
Rest assured. Stretching out his hands, Chen Yu patted Musk on his shoulders and said, Even if an accident occurs, no delay will come to the Mars colonization plan.
Thank you very much.
Youre welcome.
Chen Yu leaned against the window, his brain spinning quickly as he gazed at the blue planet outside. He then pointed at the dial representing the oxygen index in the capsule and asked, Aside from the oxygen meter, is there a more accurate gas meter?
Yes. The old engineer hurriedly opened a small metal panel and said, Its inside.
Stepping forward, Chen Yu squinted his eyes and looked around, Is this the main gas valve?
Yes.
Can you empty it?
Empty it? Startled, the engineer muttered, A-Are you trying to
Yes. Pointing at the lid above everyones heads, Chen Yu said, Match the gas pressure with the atmospheric pressure outside. Once the air pressure is gone, I can go out. So long as I can go out, we will have countless solutions.
Emptying the gas inside the capsule is possible, but Hesitantly, the old engineer said, Depressurizing the capsule and opening the hatch will put ordinary people like us in danger.
So long as I act quick enough Chen Yu started inspecting his protective suit. Danger wont have time to react.
After saying so, Chen Yu put his hand on the red valve and asked, Is this it?
Y-Yes The old man stepped backward. If you must depressurize the capsule, turn off the oxygen circulation system first. Otherwise, the capsule will continue to produce oxygen.
Where are you going? Dont leave. You do it.
In response, the old engineer briefly turned around and swept his gaze across everyone in the capsule. He then turned back to Chen Yu and said, I-In that case, please try to act as quickly as possible.
Its not a big problem. Dont panic. Only by putting up a fight will you have a chance of surviving. However, if you sit here and do nothing, our altitude will only continue to increase. Eventually, you wont even have a chance of surviving.
Waving his hand, Chen Yu approached the space capsules center. He then jumped up, grabbed the hatchs handle, and looked down at the group below. Everyone, crouch down. Take a few more breaths and fill your body with oxygen. Afterward, calm down and hold your breaths.
Hearing this, everyone immediately crouched down and desperately inhaled.
Stop the oxygen! Discharge the gas! Chen Yu commanded.
Pff
However, before the old man could push the button, the participant with the ID Crazed Awakening released a long-toned fart.
Uu
Everyone promptly backed away from Crazed awakening, complex expressions appearing on their faces as they hesitated on whether they should continue breathing or not.
However, Crazed Awakening seemingly did not mind the situation as the university teacher continued inhaling deeply in the hopes that he could add even a little bit more oxygen to his body.
[Dammit! Hes too elegant!]
[My scalp is tingling]
[This is a king.]
[There are always some bigshots who are capable of things beyond my reach.]
[Hello? 110? Theres a pervert here.]
[LOLOLOL!]
Pff~
Pff~ Pff~
Crazed Awakening continued farting one time after another. He sucked in air from the front and released air from the rear, creating an endless cycle.
After silently staring at the university teacher for some time, Chen Yu finally couldnt help but speak, Great Sage, please stop with your magic.
Huh? Crazed Awakening put on a confused expression. D-Didnt you tell me to discharge gas?
Immediately, Chen Yus expression darkened as he shouted, Shut your mouth!
Crazed Awakening hurriedly covered his mouth.
Im referring to the one below.
Crazed Awakening:
Turning to the old engineer, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, Stop the oxygen! Discharge the gas!
Okay.
Hiss
The moment the old engineer pressed the button on the main gas valve, the space capsule rapidly discharged the air inside it to the outside. In no time at all, a partial vacuum environment formed inside the capsule.
Meanwhile, not only did the people inside the capsule lose the ability to breathe, but they also started suffering from altitude sickness, such as the swelling of body parts.
Understanding that he had no time to lose, without even waiting for the capsules air pressure to balance with the atmospheric pressure outside, he undid his buckle and pushed against the hatch with both hands.
Creak
The sound of metal screaming echoed inside the capsule and grated at everyones ears.
Hiss!
Boom!
A second later, the capsules hatch opened under Chen Yus tremendous strength.
Simultaneously, a strong gust made of thin atmosphere rushed into the capsule!
Chapter 265 - Eighth Official Livestream Ends
Chapter 265 C Eighth Official Livestream Ends
Bang!
The hatch opened, and a strong gust swept in. Everyone inside the capsule immediately fell to the ground, their bodies shaking.
At the capsules current velocity, had it been in the troposphere or stratosphere instead of the thermosphere, everyone inside the capsule wouldve suffered fatal damage.
Little Assistant! Come close the hatch!
Okay! At this critical moment, Little Peach dual processors ran simultaneously. Reacting swiftly, she stepped forward and grabbed the hatchs handle. She then said, King, you can go out now!
OK!
Whoosh
After making an OK gesture, Chen Yu decisively activated the plasma engine. A blue tail flame immediately burst out from the back of his armor, propelling out of the capsule.
Bang!
With lightning speed, Little Peach closed the hatch firmly. She then yelled, Quick! Release the gas!
In response, the old engineer dizzily grasped the handrail beside him and pressed down on the main gas valve, sealing it. He then toggled a switch and had the capsule start producing oxygen again.
Hiss
Air started gushing out of the enclosed box, rapidly filling every corner of the space capsule. While holding their aching chests, everyone promptly started inhaling and exhaling deeply.
W-We survived?
The Japanese girl struggled to get up. She then looked up at the hatch in shock.
Were safe. Her arms akimbo, Little Peach said, Believe in King. This is merely a small interlude. Whats there to panic about? Also, its not like were refusing to give compensation.
This isnt a question of receiving compensation or not! the Director of Google Planetary Resources couldnt help but retort. Wiping off the cold sweat on his face, he continued, Thankfully, we were at a suitable altitude. Otherwise, lives wouldve been lost.
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the capsule.
Like startled birds, everyone abruptly turned toward the source of the nocking. They then found Chen Yu leaning against the window outside and making gestures.
W-What is he trying to say? Musk asked.
I think hes telling us to open the hatch. He wants to come in, Little Peach guessed.
Bull Holding back his curse, the old engineer said, Mr. King is asking if anyone is injured.
Hearing this, everyone briefly exchanged looks with each other before shaking their heads.
Im good.
Im not injured.
Me neither.
My chest hurts a little, but it shouldnt be a big problem
After everyone gave their replies, the old engineer approached the window and gestured in sign language: We are all healthy.
Unfortunately, Chen Yu didnt understand sign language. However, seeing that everyone inside the capsule was alive and kicking, he felt reassured. Immediately, he flew to the capsules top, faced the camera, and sat down cross-legged.
Everyone is safe. The operation has been completed perfectly. See? I said there wasnt a need to panic.
[What? No casualties? Dislike!]
[What are you smoking?]
[I suggest directly reporting this fool. The internet is like this. The larger a forest becomes, the larger the variety of birds living in it.]
[It was so dangerous just now!]
[I seriously suspect the UP did this deliberately.]
[+1. How can someone of UPs caliber make such a low-level mistake?]
Leaning against the capsules side, Chen Yu admired the magnificent water column underneath him for a while. He then said, Honestly, I shouldve come up here long ago. Just like riding a high-speed train, sitting on the trains roof is much more addictive.
According to the data displayed by my helmet, our current altitude has already exceeded 100,000 meters, and the surrounding temperature has already begun to rise. Returning to the capsules top, Chen Yu explained, It wont be long before the Earth Spray enters its second stage. Ive already explained the second stages working principle before, so I wont repeat it again.
Boom Boom Boom
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the capsule suddenly started shaking violently. Simultaneously, the sound of explosions came from below the capsule one after another.
Its here!
Chen Yus eyes glowed with excitement, and he hurriedly looked downward. Immediately, he noticed parts of the water column lighting up with a red glow. The appearance of the red glows also caused the space capsule to accelerate even further.
[Theyre just small explosions? How boring.]
[The water column cant endure big explosions.]
[Dammit! I cant continue reading the bullet comments!]
[Sure enough, the Earth is round.]
[Once space tourism becomes a thing in the future, I must experience it myself.]
[That wont be possible within a short period. The various nations will definitely prioritize space research and establishing colonies on the moon and Mars first now that they have a zero-cost launchpad.]
[Im still thinking about the very dangerous product the host mentioned before.]
[I have an unpleasant feeling about this]
As the space capsule continued accelerating, the capsules outer surface also started reddening.
One hundred thousand meters.
Two hundred thousand meters.
Three hundred thousand meters
Five hundred thousand meters!
The space capsule thoroughly traversed through the thermosphere and reached the atmospheres outermost layer.
Simultaneously, the space capsules surface temperature began cooling down, and the super-fountain underneath the capsule gradually disappeared.
At this distance, the gravity from Earth was minimal. The air here was so thin that it was no different than a vacuum. With the capsules current inertial speed, it could even reach the medium Earth orbit 1,000 kilometers away!
As for reaching the high Earth orbit, that was going to be difficult without the help of additional propulsion.
After looking at the almost spherical planet below him, Chen Yu stood up, faced the camera, and intertwined his fingers. With this, we have completed the unboxing phase, the product introduction phase, and the actual testing phase. In that case, todays livestream will also be coming to an end.
As usual, I would like to first thank the Huaxia Heavy Industry for providing us with this Earth Spray. Although there have been several interludes during the review, I admit that these are my personal mistakes. The products performance is still excellent, and it has given us a new perspective on space.
Secondly, I would like to thank the 26 million viewers inside the livestream rooms. As my viewership increases, I can no longer casually speak my mind. This has undoubtedly brought stress to me. However, even though I have made mistakes, you still continue tolerating and supporting me. Thank you very much for that.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu lowered his hands and bowed slightly to the camera. He then straightened his back and continued, The New Year is coming soon. On the day of the Spring Festival, I promise to give everyone a beautiful gift. You will definitely like it, so stay tuned.
Lastly, lets start the conclusion.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu raised his hand and pointed at the luminous galaxy ahead of him. Every living person has 30 souls behind them. A 1-to-30 ratio. This is the ratio of the living to the dead. Since the birth of civilization, over 100 billion humans have lived on Earth.
Coincidentally, our Milky Way galaxy has over 100 billion stars.
One hundred billion stars to form a magnificent galaxy, and one hundred billion humans to create a dazzling civilization. As you can see, the age of space exploration is upon us. As someone belonging to this era, Im sure that you, too, can feel the pride Im feeling.
The Milky Ways greatness lies in the fact that every one of its stars is shining.
The same is true for humans. Every member of humanity is indispensable because every one of us corresponds to a twinkling star.
When night arrives, look up and try to find a trace of yourselves. It is hanging there quietly, and it is both brilliant and bright
That is it for todays livestream.
Let us meet again during the Spring Festival!
Chapter 266 - Digging a Hole for America
Chapter 266 C Digging a Hole for America
Thump!
Carrying the capsule, Chen Yu gradually descended from the exosphere to an altitude of just 100 meters above sea level. Only then did he feel reassured and let loose of the capsule. He then watched the capsule plunge into the ocean like a meteor and creating waves several meters tall.
Half a minute later, the capsule resurfaced and swayed around along with the waves.
Boom.
Landing on top of the capsule, Chen Yu bent down, twisted the hatchs lock, and opened the hatch.
Squeak.
After opening the hatch, Chen Yu poked his head into the capsule and looked around. Is everyone alright?
Im good.
Were all doing well.
ɤ⤢꤬Ȥ (Thank you very much)
Everyone responded after exchanging brief looks with each other.
Good, then. Stay inside. Ill transport you guys back now.
After saying so, Chen Yu closed the hatch and dragged the space capsule back to the Earth Sprays metal platform.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yu arrived before the launchpad.
At this time, ships of various types had already surrounded the launchpad. There were also numerous helicopters hovering above it.
Come on out. Ignoring the armed soldiers, Chen Yu stepped onto the platform and reopened the space capsules hatch. Climb out one by one. Hold onto the ladder and dont fall into the sea.
The first one to exit was the Japanese girl. She jumped onto the metal platform with everyones help. However, even after stepping on land, she still carried a somewhat fearful expression on her face.
Following the girl, the bullet comment groups four other participants and the donation groups five participants exited the capsule one after another.
The last ones to exit the capsule were Little Peach and the Russian engineer.
This istruly a magnificent space flight!
After partly climbing down the ladder, the old engineer excitedly kissed the Andromeda space capsules exterior and refused to climb down.
The review is over. Thank you for your participation and support. Approaching the metal arch, Chen Yu called up the virtual globe and said to the bullet comment groups members, Ill start teleporting you guys first. Lets hope we can meet again in the future.
Can I take a group photo with you? the young doctor asked calmly while taking out his phone.
I want one as well!
The same is true for me.
˽ (And I)
After getting their group photo, the five participants reluctantly left through the portal one after another.
They wouldnt forget this trip to space for the rest of their lives.
Its your turn now. After sending the five away, Chen Yu turned to look at the donation groups members. Its time to leave. Do you want a group photo as well?
It is my honor to have a group photo with you, Mr. King. However, I wont have to trouble you to teleport me back. Pointing at the several ships behind him, the China Aerospace Corporation Director said, I need to make a report over there.
Me too. The Director of Airbus raised his hand.
I wont be returning either. Still remaining on the ladder, the old engineer said, I need to help my country recollect the Andromeda space capsule.
Nodding, Chen Yu looked toward the three remaining individuals and asked, What about you guys?
I need to return. Ill be troubling you, the Director of Google Planetary Resources said, bowing.
Me too, Arianespaces representative said.
I-I wish to visit the floating castle. May I know if I have the opportunity to do so? Musk asked tentatively.
No. Chen Yu rejected Musk decisively.
T-Then Ill return as well.
After sending everyone away, Chen Yu arrived onboard a Chinese warship together with Little Peach. They then entered the cabin under the guidance of an enthusiastic officer.
Hello! The warships commander, who had been standing in the hallway for quite some time now, bowed respectfully to Chen Yu. I am the commander stationed on Light Island. It is an honor to meet you.
We are fellow countrymen. No need to be so polite, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. Contact the various countries representatives nearby and have them gather here for a meeting. Im going to talk about the Earth Sprays usage distribution briefly.
Yes, sir.
The commander solemnly nodded and ordered one of his subordinates to carry out Chen Yus demands. He then led Chen Yu to a spacious meeting room and respectfully served tea to him.
Thank you, but it is inconvenient for me to eat or drink in this suit.
Okay. The commander nodded. He then sat beside Chen Yu, took a look at the time, and hesitated to speak.
What do you want to say? Chen Yu asked, taking the initiative.
The commander immediately straightened his back. After spending several seconds arranging his words, he carefully asked, M-Mr. King, regarding the Mars colonization plan, aside from the SpaceX Corporation, will you not consider adding more partners?
Hearing this, Chen Yu crossed his legs and visually scanned the commander. He then asked, Is this your personal opinion? Or is it the governments?
P-Personal.
Good, then. Chen Yu nodded. The so-called Mars colonization plan is just a hole thats neither too large nor too small. Both good and bad are mixed in. Why would you want to get involved in this matter?
A hole? The commander was stunned.
Think carefully. Lowering his voice, Chen Yu said, What would you need a Martian colony for? It might sound good on paper, but its just a big heaping pile of trouble. This is especially true for national units. Before the emergence of technology to change planetary environments, the more people we send to Mars, and the larger the city we construct on Mars, the greater the burden we carry would grow. Aside from tourism and research, what other uses would a Martian colony have?
This The commander fell into deep thought.
It would be more cost-effective to build a small site if you are aiming for scientific research. Whats more, modern human civilization is still incapable of creating a self-sufficient ecosystem. In other words, a Martian colony will have to rely on Earth to launch materials to it consistently. Meanwhile, the Earth Spray can only be used a limited number of times each day. If the Earth Spray is split between so many countries, how many times can Musk, or America, use it per day?
SpaceX doesnt have the rights to use the launchpad! The commanders eyes glowed in realization. He did not participate in the construction of Light Island and the Transdimensional Academy. If he wants to use the launchpad, he can only do so by purchase or request the rights from the American government!
Thats right. Once I open the Interstellar Portal and send a large batch of people to Mars, America will have no choice but to carry this burden. Leaning back against his chair, Chen Yu made a 6 gesture. Nice, right?
With this, America will have fewer launches available for other uses. America might even be forced to use liquid-fueled rockets to satisfy its lower-priority needs, the commander calmly analyzed. However, while this is a huge burden, America can also get a lot of valuable data and experience about space colonization.
Thats why I said both good and bad are mixed in this matter, Chen Yu said, shrugging. However, at the end of the day, the Martian colony is more of a symbol than something practical. Moreover, I understand that inequality is the cause of trouble. With the worlds current political situation, if I decide to bring an additional party to Mars, I will have to bring a whole bunch more. If thats the case, I might as well stop doing everything and focus on opening portals for you guys every day. Take the vacuum maglev train, for example. You guys mustve suffered a lot in the foreign relations department, right?
I-I dont know much about this the commander said, slightly embarrassed.
If you have the chance, have a few children, and youll understand what I mean. Pointing out the window, Chen Yu said, Anyway, Ive already given the launchpad to you. Now that cost is no longer a problem, establishing a Martian colony should be a piece of cake. You might even be faster than SpaceX if you decide to do so. However, I believe the higher-ups wont do so. The more likely scenario is that theyll set up a small research site and assign most of the launch opportunities for launching cutting-edge satellites and deep space explorations.
T-This is not something I can comment on.
Im just speaking casually. Chen Yu waved his hand. He then picked up the cup of tea before him and tried to drink it, only to give up after finding that his helmet was in between his mouth and the teacup.
Half a minute later.
Boom!
The meeting rooms door opened, and a group of government representatives with different attires and skin colors pouring into the room.
Chapter 267 - Ban Falters!
Chapter 267 C Ban Falters!
Half-past two in the afternoon, Jinzhou City, Lanhe District:
Creak
As soon as the Interstellar Portal opened, Chen Yu walked through it, threw himself onto the bed, and frenziedly rolled around on it.
Mr. Chen, will you leave that product out at sea? Little Peach asked as she followed Chen Yu through the portal. She then closed the door and disconnected the spatial link.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded as he laid flat on his bed. Ill let them use it. I dont need it, in any case.
You mustve gotten a lot of points today, right?! That means you can exchange for awesome toys!
Plenty. Sitting up, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and opened his web browser. He then solemnly said, I shouldve gotten at least 2,500 points today. However, rather than redeeming products, I have something more important to check right now.
What is it?
The problem regarding my soaring viewership.
While saying so, Chen Yu searched for various keywords on his search engine. The increase in viewership this time is abnormal. Its almost twice the previous record. Something mustve gone wrong.
Why didnt you ask those representatives about this before?
Most of them are navy officers stationed nearby. They wont understand these things. Its better to just search for the answer myself.
Very quickly, Chen Yu arrived at a news piece made by an overseas news website. After carefully reading through it twice, the corners of his lips suddenly twitched. I found it.
Whats the cause?
Showing his phone screen to Little Peach, Chen Yu sighed and said, Dammit, its because of that three-kilometer-tall delivery box.
The box was exposed! Little Peach exclaimed in surprise.
Mhm. The Echigo Plain is one of the few cultivated land remaining in Japan. To move that delivery box away, the Japanese government chose to drag it across the ocean. When the box passed by Niigata City, over two million citizens saw it. Something also went wrong with the information ban, and the box ended up becoming a global sensation.
Did the other countries not place a ban on the information?
They did, but the effects are only average. Chen Yu shrugged. The main problem lies with the Japanese side. Now, all of Japans netizens know about the box. The situation there has gotten completely out of control. Although most people still arent aware of the boxs origins, it is only a matter of time before Transdimensional Review gets dragged into the matter. For example, the additional 10 million viewers we got today are all Japanese spectators.
T-Then is that a good thing or a bad thing? Little Peach asked, tilting her head.
In the short term, I no longer have to worry about my promotions. However, it is undoubtedly a bad thing in the long run. Storing his phone away, Chen Yu stood up and approached the window. He then gazed out at the snowy scenery outside while scratching his head in agitation. With our current base viewership and that delivery box incident, even if the various governments try desperately to suppress information, the information will still spread rapidly. I wouldnt even be surprised if our viewership exceeds 50 million on the ninth official livestream. Meanwhile, Earth only has seven billion people
Once everyone in the world knows of you, you wont be able to get promoted anymore, Little Peach said slowly.
Correct. Thats why I deliberately toned down the commotion I caused this time. However, it would seem that my efforts were meaningless. Turning around, Chen Yu revealed a helpless expression filled with complex emotions and said, Im about to become a global sensation.
You should quickly think of countermeasures with the various governments!
Theyre even more anxious than I am because of that letter. Anyway, theres nothing we can do about this situation. Well just let the various governments think of a solution while we focus on taking one step at a time.
After saying so, Chen Yu laid back on his bed and raised his wrist. He then swiped his finger across his watch to inspect his income for this livestream.
In total, he had gained 26.12 million viewers across the ten livestream rooms, which netted him 2,612 points!
Including the leftover 1,201 points
He now had a total of 3,813 points!
Im really rich this time
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Yu stood up and walked out of the room without hesitation.
Mr. Chen, are you going out to eat?
Im going to go flush my brain.
Opening his bedroom door, Chen Yu found only Father Chen and Mother Chen watching TV in the living room. All three of his little sisters were absent from home.
Wheres Third Eldest?
She said its boring at home, so she followed Eldest and Second Eldest to class, Mother Chen answered while nibbling on some sunflower seeds. You slept in the whole morning? Did you stay up all night again?
Oh, mhm. Chen Yu replied vaguely. He then walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed up happily.
Ha! My head should be clear now. There wont be any more insane products, right?
After drying his hair with a towel, Chen Yu returned to his room and locked the door. Sitting on his bed, he held up his watch and visited the Transdimensional Store eagerly.
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]
After waiting briefly for the store to refresh, the first product of the day appeared on the screen.
[1. Assassin Bee: Produced by the McKent Military Industries in 2673. The Assassin Bee is three millimeters in diameter and is equipped with sixth-generation biometric technology. It integrates regional feature analysis algorithms, computer image processing, and biostatistics. The Assassin Bee can quickly distinguish portrait features and accurately recognize and assassinate targets with a 99.996% accuracy.
There are three default assassination methods:
The selling price is 1,560 points.]
Crap
Chen Yu couldnt help but shudder when he read the products introduction.
He could easily foresee the terrible consequences should this weapon fall into the hands of an ambitionist.
Compared to guns, heavy weaponry, and nuclear bombs, a Grim Reaper hiding in the dark was much more daunting
It seems very suitable to act as a deterrence.
It might be good for research, but its too dangerous
Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu pondered for some time before flipping to the next page.
[2. Ice 9: Produced by the VG Super Century Company in 3281. Ice 9 is stored in a liquid state in a strong magnetic confinement field. Any object that comes into contact with Ice 9 will have the kinetic energy of their atoms, molecules, and other particles quickly reduced, bringing the object infinitely close to absolute zero. Ice 9 will indefinitely freeze the object it is in contact with until it dissipates completely. Typically, one liter of Ice 9 is sufficient to freeze an area the size of the Australian continent for 600 years under a standard Earth environment. (This is a hazardous product! Please be careful when using it!) The selling price is 3,500 points.]
So, flushing my head produced such results?
What? Little Peach was puzzled by Chen Yus mumblings.
What are these nonsensical products?! Chen Yu bellowed. Arent they too frightening?!
What are they? Little Peach curiously leaned forward. Are they toys?
Chen Yu did not answer. He then flipped to the next page without hesitation and nervously read the third products information.
[3. Death Glasses: Produced by the China Vision Optical Company in 3156. After aiming at a target, the built-in ultra-micro quantum computer will accurately analyze all available information in the users field of view, ranging from a falling teacup to a large moving vehicle. The data will then be incorporated into the Fal calculation model to analyze environmental causal nodes. So long as a node is changed, a series of seemingly unrelated chain reactions can be caused to accidentally kill the target. (For example, a sneeze could result in a series of car accidents that kill the target.) The selling price is 2,720 points.]
Chen Yu: Is there a horror special today?
Chapter 268 - : New Year Present Prepared
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 268 C New Year Present Prepared
After getting three murder weapons in a row, Chen Yu started to think that the mass murder of marine life he conducted when he deployed the Earth Spray mustve tainted him with evil spirits. Hence, he decided to wash his hands again.
1
After entering the bathroom, he washed his hands with soap, brushed his teeth, and rubbed some washing powder on his clothes. He then returned to his bedroom and continued browsing the fourth product.
[4. Cheering Stick: Produced by the Romantic House Association in 2563. The Cheering Stick has 35 built-in high-precision sensors and 22 miniature dischargers. It can detect and adjust the synaptic potential of the pyramidal neurons apical dendrites, brain wave synchronization rhythm formation, thalamocorticals non-specific projection, and other brain-related activities in a human female to calm their irritable and aggressive moods, making them docile instantly. The selling price is 1,430 points.]

Finally! Something normal!

Rubbing his palms together, Chen Yu re-read the introduction several times before suppressing his urge to purchase the item directly. He then swiped to check the final recommended product.
[5. Miniature Antimatter Destruction Generator: Produced by the Die from Addiction Company in 2980]
2
Huh?
Chen Yus spirits sharpened as soon as he saw the products name. My New Year present is here
After reading the products introduction, he pondered for a long time before he decided to purchase two of the five recommended products.
Over 3,800 points disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Isnt that a little too quick? Im already poor again.
After ordering Little Peach to store away the two delivery boxes that had just arrived, Chen Yu laid on his bed and used his phone to search for any news related to him. When he felt hungry, he took two eggs, two potatoes, and one stalk of green onion from the kitchen. He then used the Automatic Cooking Pot to cook up some crispy ribs in his room and gorged himself with them.
I dare say that this pot is humanitys greatest invention! Chen Yu said after cleaning off the last rib.
How does it feel to eat?
It feels very satisfactory. Picking up a leftover bone, Chen Yu handed it to Little Peach and said, Why dont you try it too?
Little Peach:
What a shame. Tossing the bone away, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Eating delicious food is a type of enjoyment.
I cant digest solid food. Little Peach licked her lips as she stared at the bone. I can only digest liquids.
Does that mean you have a stomach?
Mhm.
Why can you only digest liquids?
I dont know either.
One man and one machine looked at each other, both of them at a loss
1
Five oclock in the afternoon.
The sky had already begun to darken.
Were back!
The security door opened, and Chen Yike, Erke, and Sanke entered the house.
Upon spotting Chen Yu in the living room, Chen Sanke dashed at him without even removing her shoes. She then hugged Chen Yus right leg and said, Big Brother, I missed you!
Brother! I missed you too! Unwilling to show weakness, Chen Erke hugged Chen Yus left leg.
Second Eldest! Mother Chen, who sat on the sofa, yelled. No shoes in the house!
Third Eldest didnt remove hers, either! Chen Erke retorted, unwilling to submit.
Shes still young and doesnt know better.
Shes only three years younger than I am!
Blinking her eyes, Chen Sanke said, Even if its only by three months, I am still younger.
Heh. Unwillingly parting from Chen Yus left leg, Chen Erke returned to the entrance and took off her shoes. Youll be older than me in two more years.
How can that be possible? Are you stupid? Hugging Chen Yus leg tightly, Chen Sanke pouted and said, It will take at least three years!
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu reached out and patted Chen Sankes head. You two are fools. Do you even know how to count? Itll take at least four years, right?
Youre the fool! Chen Yike, who stood by a side with her backpack slung over her back, retorted.
Do you think the three of us combined arent as smart as you? Chen Yu sneered.
Thats right. x2
Lets not talk about this anymore. Picking up Chen Sanke, Chen Yu smiled and asked, Did you have fun at class today?
Not fun. Big Sis is awful at playing the piano.
Third Eldest! Chen Yikes face flushed red with embarrassment.
You just started learning, so its understandable, Chen Yu said as he generously waved his hand. However, it is still a piano. How bad at it can you possibly be? Ill buy you a piano after the New Year.
Brother~ Chen Yike was moved.
Big Brother. Staring at Chen Yu expressionlessly, Chen Sanke said, Youll regret it.
I have never regretted my actions.
Big Brother, I love you! Chen Yike immediately hugged Chen Yu and rubbed her face against him.
Hah. Looking at her three daughters behavior, Mother Chen grinned and said, Arent you three ashamed at behaving so affectionately?
Chen Yike: I dont feel ashamed.
Chen Erke: Why should I feel ashamed?
Chen Sanke: What does ashamed mean?
With the return of the three sisters, the quiet atmosphere inside the Chen household instantly livened up. Chen Erke, in particular, ceaselessly cried and yelled while playing with her phone. Fed up with the noise, Chen Yu returned to his room, sat in a corner, and swiped away at his phone.
Mr. Chen, Ive already uploaded the livestreams edited version and set it to release at nine oclock tomorrow.
Mhm. You dont need to tell me about such trivial matters from now on. Just deal with it yourself.
Okay.
Suddenly giving Little Peach a thumbs up, Chen Yu said, Your Mandarin is getting up to standard.
Thats of course! Little Peach patted her chest proudly, accidentally knocking a packaging bag out from her chest in the process.
Whats this? Picking up the packaging bag suspiciously, Chen Yu carefully inspected it before asking, W-Why do you have it pinched between your breasts?
Its a present from that Crazed Awakening person. He says hes a fan. I didnt have any pockets on me, so I just kept it there.
Smart! Smart! Chen Yu admired.
I dont know what it is, though. He says it can be eaten, Little Peach said as she opened the bag. She then pulled out a black and red object and took a close look at it. Is it dried human excretion?
Thats called a betel nut! Chen Yu retorted, holding his head. Why would you even make such a strange association?!
But they look alike!
Snatching the betel nut from Little Peach, Chen Yu put it in his mouth and started chewing on it. This thing is called a betel nut. Its a kind of snack. I heard that it shouldnt be eaten since it causes cancer.
Why are you eating it, then? Little Peach asked in surprise.
Drinking alcohol harms the liver, so why do people still drink it? Smoking causes lung cancer as well, so why do people still smoke? Laying down on his bed, Chen Yu opened his mouth and revealed the betel nut scraps on his tongue. Because this is what being a human means. Its not fun if you dont take some risks. Jealous?
I-I want to try eating one as well.
Go ahead, but you cant swallow this thing.
Okay. Little Peach nodded. She then pulled out another betel nut from the bag, tossed it into her mouth, and started chewing. Sparks flew out of her mouth with every bite she took.
Big Sis, cant you produce some saliva?
Oh! Wow! It softened! It went from hard to soft! I also managed to squeeze a lot of juice out of it! Little Peach exclaimed in surprise. She then stuck out her soft tongue and pointed at the betel nut scraps, saying, It becomes red after I chew it up!
A complex expression formed on Chen Yus face. Your adjectives sound so scary
Following this, the two of them stared at each other while chewing on betel nuts. However, shortly after, fierce knocking sounds came from the door.
Bang! Bang!
Brother! Open the door!
Looking at the dust falling from the ceiling, Chen Yu immediately guessed who was at the door. What do you want?
I want to play with you!
Go play with your Second Sister, Chen Yu said as he switched to a different lying posture.
Second Sis ended up crying after I played with her.
Bang, bang, bang
Chen Sanke slammed her fists on the door. Open up, open up~ Big Brother, open up~
Only childs truly are fortunate. Sighing, Chen Yu signaled for Little Peach to go invisible. He then got out of bed and opened the door. Cant you be a little more obedient
Bang!
Failing to retrieve her strength in time, Chen Sanke slammed her fists into the partially opened door and sent the doorknob slamming into Chen Yus lower abdomen.
Chen Yu: ..
Big Brother, are you alright?
Blergh
Ahh? Big Brother, youre vomiting blood!
Chapter 269 - New Year’s Eve Announcement[1]
Chapter 269: New Years Eve Announcement
Chapter 269 C New Years Eve Announcement[1]
Wiping the betel nut juice off the corner of his mouth, Chen Yu crouched down while holding onto his aching abdomen. W-What have you been eating? Cant you act normally?
I want to play with Big Brother, Chen Sanke said, blinking her eyes. Lets play a game only the two of us can play.
Hearing this, Chen Yu subconsciously stepped back. W-What do you want to play?
Turning around to look at the living room, Chen Sanke quickly walked into the bedroom and shut the door. She then reached into her shirt andpulled out a cylindrical object. This!
Corn?
No. Mommy said its a maize.
Theyre the same thing. Grabbing the ear of corn, Chen Yu fiddled around with it before asking, What can we even do with it?
Guess how many kernels are on the maize!
How bored are you?
Come on, guess~ Chen Sanke said as she fawningly hugged Chen Yus legs. Whoever guesses correctly wins. I guess that there 100 kernels.
One hundred? Weighing the corn in his hand, Chen Yu said, You think such a big ear of corn only has 100 kernels? There should be at least a few hundred.
Curling her lips, Chen Sanke said, Do you even know how to count? Im already guessing high by guessing 100!
Oh? Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, his stubborn temple acting up. He then grabbed a glass cup, plucked the corn kernels, and tossed them into the cup one after another. Look properly. Inspect every kernel. Ill definitely show you whos right today!
What if you guess wrongly?
Ill call you Big Sister!
Deal! Chen Sanke grew joyful. You must keep your promise.
Stop bothering me from counting Seven, eight, nine, ten! See? Theres ten already
For the next ten minutes or so, under Chen Sankes and the invisible Little Peachs gaze, Chen Yu stripped the corn of all its kernels.
Bang!
After filling the cup with kernels, Chen Yu tossed the naked cob away. He then shook his sore hands before sneering, Six hundred and thirteen. Thats more than six times what you guessed! So, whos the one that doesnt know how to count? Dont act so arrogantly in the future. You should be especially respectful when dealing with your elder brother.
No! This isnt right! Chen Sanke shook her head. She then pulled out another ear of corn and clumsily started removing its kernels. You must have tricked me! Theres no way there are s-so many kernels!
Give it to me, Chen Yu said, snatching the corn from his little sister. He then brought over a new cup and placed the kernels inside it. You count them yourself this time.
Okay! One, two, three, two
Four comes after three!
Four, five six
After another ten minutes passed, the second corn was also stripped naked.
Seven hundred and four corn kernels. Looking down at Chen Sanke condescendingly, Chen Yu said, What have you learned through this incident?
Reaching out and grabbing the two cups of corn kernels, Chen Sanke stood up and awkwardly bowed to Chen Yu. Big Brother is still the best.
Good. At least youve shown signs of growth, Chen Yu said in delight as he rubbed his sore wrists. Go out. Stop disturbing my rest.
Mhm. Chen Sanke nodded. She then left the room with the two cups of corn and walked toward the kitchen. While walking, she also shouted, Mommy! The corn kernels for the dumplings are ready!
Chen Yu: ?
Oh? You removed them so quickly? Mother Chen hurriedly accepted the cups and patted Chen Sanke on the head. Youve grown up, Third Eldest. Youre getting better at doing work.
Mhm! I even managed to count past 700!
Good girl. You must be tired, right?
Im not tired at all.
Chen Yu: ???
With the new years approach, another heavy snowfall struck Jinzhou City, covering the red lanterns of both sides of the streets in snow.
The Chen abode was also covered with couplets and red paper art. Under the shine of the winter sun, these decorations made the Chen abode look particularly festive.
Mr. Chen, does this outfit look nice?
Little Peach asked as she twirled around before Chen Yu in her red tangzhuang.
It looks good, Chen Yu said as he briefly glanced at Little Peach. He then resumed busily sending New Year greetings to his acquaintances.
How perfunctory
Cant you see Im busy? If you have nothing to do, go online and publish a New Year greeting on the several broadcasting platforms.
What should I write?
Go check online! Just do it simply.
W-Wont this be bad? Little Peach said hesitantly as she sat before the table. Isnt the Spring Festival an important day?
Its just a New Year greeting. Everyone is also just humoring each other with it. Some even find it troublesome to send one, Chen Yu said as he waved off Little Peach.
Why even bother with it, then? Humans really are weird
Bang! Bang!
At this time, knocking sounds came from the bedroom door. Mother Chens voice then came from outside the door, Chen Yu, open up! Why are you locking the door on New Year?
Hurry up and hide! Chen Yu said to Little Peach in a subdued voice. He then stood up and approached the door, asking, Mom, what do you want?
Hurry up and open the door. Im giving you a New Year gift.
Turning around, Chen Yu saw that Little Peachs figure had already disappeared. He then unlocked the door and opened it. What present?
This. Mother Chen pulled out a brand new pair of purple underwear from her pocket. She then stuffed it into Chen Yus hand and asked, Do you like it?
This Chen Yu couldnt help but gape in shock. Whats this?
A purple underwear[1], Mother Chen said, grinning. Youll have an auspicious time after wearing it.
What are you standing there for? Go put it on quickly! Mother Chen urged. Your three sisters have worn theirs already.
Mom! Stop making troubl
Put it on!
Bang!
Shutting the door, Chen Yu felt his head aching as he held onto the purple underwear.
Mr. Chen, what does purple underwear mean? Little Peach asked quizzically as she exited her invisibility state.
Dont ask. Continue staying invisible. Tossing the underwear onto the bed, Chen Yu waited for a moment before opening the door again.
Did you put it on?
Mother Chen still stood outside the door, waiting with her arms akimbo.
Im wearing it.
Let me see.
?!!
Lets take a look. With lightning speed, Mother Chen accurately grabbed the waistband of Chen Yus pants and tugged at it, revealing the edges of the black shorts underneath. Little punk, dont think you can play tricks with me. I am your mother. Do you think I dont understand how you think? Go put it on immediately!
Are you a demon?
Go!
Helpless, Chen Yu had no choice but to put on the purple underwear while sighing. I want to go to university
Crackle, crackle, crackle
Not long after, the sound of simulated firecrackers came from a phone in the living room. Immediately afterward, Mother Chens voice came from outside the bedroom once more. Chen Yu, have you put it on yet? Come out and eat dumplings!
Okay.
After changing into a new set of clothes, Chen Yu walked up to the bedroom window and quietly observed the quiet and dark sky outside. He then raised his wrist, searched for the ID China Government on his personal contact list, and sent a message.
Ten minutes later, an impromptu news piece rolled out under the TV1 channel, which was broadcasting a Spring Festival program.
[Based on observatory observations, there will be two large meteorites colliding with each other 120,000 kilometers outside Earth tonight, which may generate a large visible light. However, due to the long distance, it will not cause any danger to Earth. Please do not panic.]
[Repeat: Based on observatory observations, there will be]
Shortly afterward, the neighboring countries such as Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Russia also released similar news announcements.
Chapter 270 - New Year Livestream Begins
Chapter 270 C New Year Livestream Begins
After sending the short message, Chen Yu walked out of the bedroom and saw the red decorations covering the living room. The TV was also broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala. Combined, the two gave the house a strong Chinese New Year festival.
The only thing out of place was
The sound of simulated firecrackers playing on the phone that was on the coffee table.
Did you wear the purple underwear? Mother Chen asked as she poked her head out of the kitchen.
Im wearing it, Chen Yu answered indifferently. Shall I show you?
No time. Retracting her head, Mother Chen continued cooking.
Mom!
At this time, Chen Yike ran out of the bathroom while shedding tears, The purple underwears color is fading!
Its fine. I deliberately bought the ones that will discolor quickly.
Mom! Chen Yike stamped her foot angrily.
Why do you keep believing in those superstitions? Father Chen, sitting on the sofa and watching the Spring Festival Gala, said in dissatisfaction. Where do you hear these things from?
What do you mean superstition? Its for an auspicious New Year! Walking out of the kitchen, Mother Chen approached a paper bag in the entrance corridor and pulled out another purple underwear. She then pushed it to Father Chen and said, You wear one as well! You cant eat if you dont wear it.
Father Chen:
Very quickly, under the threat of Mother Chens spatula, everyone in the Chen family was wearing purple underwear. Everyone then sat around the kitchen table while waiting for the New Years Eve dinner to begin.
Clap, clap.
Mother Chen clapped her hands, attracting everyones attention. She then said, Its another new year, so lets make a summary of this year and talk about our expectations for the new year. Old man, you start first.
Ah. Scratching his uncomfortable buttocks, Father Chen asked, Why is this underwear so uncomfortable to wear?
The store only had womens underwear left, so deal with it. Hurry up and summarize your year.
Can I curse?
How can you curse during the New Year?
In that case, Im done.
The whole family:
Youre always useless during critical moments! Honestly Mother Chen glared at Father Chen. She then looked at Chen Yu and said, Its your turn. Say it properly.
Ill say it, then. Standing up, Chen Yu sorted out the words in his mind and said casually, There is a saying in Tolstoys Anna Karenina that all happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. However, Ive always thought that our family is different. Although our family is poor, it is in perfect order. The mother is kind, the father is strong, the brother is smart, and the sisters are wise. When we fight in jest or for fun, we can feel the overflowing familial affection of each other. While a familys economic foundation is important, whats more important is the intimacy between family members. We are blessed.
Good! Father Chen excitedly clapped and shifted in his seat. Well said.
The Chen familys three sisters and Mother Chen also couldnt help but look at Chen Yu in surprise.
Wait. I havent finished. Chen Yu subconsciously took on the aura of a superior person and silenced the venue. He then continued, Now, after the familys efforts, we have successfully achieved a well-off life. This is a double blessing! This year has undoubtedly been a life-changing year for our Chen family, and I believe next year will be even better!
Good!
Clap, clap, clap
Everyone in the family clapped excitedly.
I still havent finished. Cough. After clearing his throat, Chen Yu calmed himself and continued, Lastly, Ill create a couplet for our family. Right line: All the best; Left line: Wish you the best!
Horizontal line: The Chen family is awesome!
Awesome! Father Chen raised his glass.
Awesome!
Mother Chen and the Chen sisters raised their glasses simultaneously.
Happy New Year!
Clang!
After taking a sip of red wine, Mother Chen visually scanned Chen Yu before saying, Little Yu, when did your speech get so good? That was unexpected.
I practiced. Chen Yu waved his hand and said nothing more.
Youve truly let your father and I view you in a different light this past half a year.
Its nothing.
Its your turn, then. Mother Chen shifted her gaze to Chen Yike. Your New Year speech.
I Standing up, Chen Yike pondered for some time before saying, Im the same as my big brother.
Bouncing up from her seat, Chen Sanke said, Im the same as my big sister.
Chen Erke raised her hand, saying, Im the same as my little sister!
Mother Chen:
Woof! The husky under the table raised its paw and said, Mitu!
Huh? Lowering his head, Father Chen stared at the husky skeptically while muttering, I keep getting the feeling this dog knows how to speak.
Bang!
Chen Yu immediately kicked the huskys bum and said, Haha, how is that possible? Its just random howling.
Stop speaking. Moving away from her seat, Mother Chen brought back six plates of dumplings and said, Time to eat dumplings. Happy New Year!
Happy! x5
Sitting at the corner of the table, Chen Sanke cheered but didnt move her chopsticks. Instead, she stared idly at the crackling phone in the living room.
What are you looking at? Chen Yu asked.
Is that the sound of firecrackers and fireworks?
Correct.
What do fireworks look like? Chen Sanke tilted her head.
Ever since Third Eldest was born, the country has banned fireworks and firecrackers, Father Chen said as he chewed on a dumpling. Eldest, find some videos of fireworks afterward and let her see them.
Okay! Chen Yike nodded.
No need, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. He then rubbed Chen Sankes head and said mysteriously, Once youre done eating, wait by the window. Youll get to see the most beautiful fireworks in human history
Fifty minutes later, inside the Headmasters Tower on the Super Floating Castle
Chen Yu put on his protective suit and carried the delivery box in his hands out of the studys secret room.
Mr. Chen, isnt this thing a little too dangerous?
Its fine. Itll be safe if I am careful.
Do you not need me to accompany you? Little Peach asked hesitantly.
No need. You cant fly.
After saying so, Chen Yu made his way toward the towers main hall. Just stay in the hall and help me watch the portal.
Okay.
After arriving in the main hall, Chen Yu placed the white delivery box on the ground and snapped his fingers. Hermione.
Im here.
A cluster of gray particles emerged from the ground and combined to form a slim figure.
Have the professors returned for the New Year?
The ones that returned are mainly professors from China. As for the rest, only four of them left. The majority of them are preparing for lectures and test papers, Hermione answered with a smile. There is only half a month left until the student candidates will be called for the written test.
There must be quite a few special agents among the candidates. Keep a close eye on them and dont let any get through.
Understood. In fact, Ive already found a few professors conducting suspicious activities and recorded them. Should we deal with them?
Hearing this, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before shaking his head, That wont be necessary. If we act too strictly, eventually nobody will remain. Its human nature for these professors to wish to make some contributions to their own countries or gain some personal benefits. Ignore them so long as they dont go too far. However, well still need to set an example to display the Academys seriousness, fairness, and justice.
Beijing Universitys Professor Li is a suitable candidate, Hermione suggested as she swung her staff. Immediately, the portrait of a person appeared before Chen Yu.
Frowning, Chen Yu said, Change to another one.
Wuhan University of Science and Tech
I said change to another country.
Oh! Waving her staff hurriedly, Hermione said, How about this? Professor Ken from Harvard University.
Him! Snapping his fingers, Chen Yu said, Find a time to deal with him strictly. Show everyone the seriousness and justice of our Academy. The fruits of science and technology belong to all of mankind. How can we let a particular country selfishly monopolize them? Where is their international spirit?
Understood!
Ill leave you to be responsible for these tasks. I can rest assured if youre the one handling matters.
Understood.
You must remember to be crude in most matters, but subtle in some! Little Peach said, finally finding an opportunity to interject. Putting on the aura of an elder sister, she patted Hermiones shoulders and said, So long as you keep working hard, youll eventually become one of Mr. Chens indispensable assistants like myself.
U-Understood.
Turning around, Chen Yu stared at Little Peach, wishing to speak. However, he ended up swallowing back the words on the tip of his tongue.
Both of you step aside from the camera. Im starting the livestream.
After chasing the two robots away, Chen Yu straightened his back and adjusted the cameras angle and position. After taking a look at the time and seeing that the time was 23:00, he immediately started the livestream.

Chapter 271 - You Can’t Go Without Fireworks During New Year (1)
Chapter 271 C You Cant Go Without Fireworks During New Year (1)
Night, 10:50 PM:
At this time, a crowd had already formed inside the conference hall of the special situation teams office in Beijing.
Boom.
The mahogany doors opened, and the middle-aged team leader entered the hall together with a dozen assistants. He then sat down on the conference tables seat of honor.
Immediately, silence fell over the conference hall.
After taking a sip of tea from the bottle he carried with him, the middle-aged team leader scanned the room. A moment later, he leaned toward the microphone before him and said, Long time to see, comrades.
Hello, team leader, everyone said in unison.
Im truly sorry to call everyone in for work on New Years Even. However, Im sure everyone has already mentally prepared themselves for this since joining the group, so I wont waste time on polite words. Ill just wish everyone a simple Happy New Year.
After saying so, the middle-aged team leader tapped the microphone twice, silencing the crowd about to applaud. He then continued, After analyzing the announcement Transdimensionals UP made as well as the private message he sent us, it seems he will be causing a big explosion outside the atmosphere to serve as fireworks. What does everyone think of this?
After the crowd remained silent for a moment, an elderly man seated to the left of the middle-aged team leader stood up and said, According result of Teams A and Bs analysis is a nuclear explosion. I think this is the most likely scenario, as well. As a response, I think we should move our nearby satellites away and monitor the intensity of the resulting atmospheric radiation. We should also start making preparations to stabilize and guide public opinion in advance.
I object, the young man seated opposite of the elderly man said as he stood up. With a serious face, he said, The technological content of a nuclear weapon is too low for Transdimensionals UP. Based on our analysis of his personality portrait and the fact that he has been placing more and more importance on his programs performance recently, we think he shouldnt be conducting something as simple as a nuclear detonation. Also
Also, what? the middle-aged team leader asked.
Also, if he really goes for the nuclear detonation option and wants to let the entire continent see the explosion, the number of bombs required to accomplish this feat will be massive. It doesnt match his past conduct. Transdimensional Review generally places more importance on quality than quantity. Picking up a document on the table, the youth continued, Please take a look at this. I think Transdimensionals UP is more likely to use something high-tech like Tesla coils to form huge spherical lightning explosions. Both the luminosity and aesthetic value of such an explosion are closer to resembling traditional fireworks.
Is there a chance for it to be an actual collision between two asteroids? a middle-aged man standing in the corner of the room asked tentatively. The explosion caused by such a collision can indeed be seen by half of the planet. If debris falls through the atmosphere, it will also produce a magnificent meteor shower. It matches the aesthetic of fireworks.
Thats unlikely. Weve gone to great lengths to deal with Asteroid Bell before. Transdimensionals UP shouldnt have the ability to control asteroids in outer space yet.
Everyone in the room began having a heated discussion with each other.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged team leader picked up his pen and carefully listened and recorded everyones narrations.
While recording, the middle-aged team leader also inwardly sighed. Hah He truly is a problematic highschooler. He actually thought of setting off fireworks during the Spring Festival His thoughts are too capricious
Leader, its time, Big Sis Wu, who stood beside the middle-aged team leader, reminded.
Snapping out of his daze, the middle-aged team leader lightly tapped his microphone and said, Its 11 oclock. Everyone, quiet down and get ready. Technical Department and Teams A, B, and C, maintain smooth communication with each other and ensure no errors occur when exchanging information.
Yes, sir.
Everyones expression grew serious as they quickly entered work mode.
Pz
At this time, the big screen hung on the wall lit up.
Transdimensional Reviews livestream room had opened
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, YoutubeNiconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
484,671.
5,367,577.
20,047,006
In one second, the ten livestream rooms total viewer count had exceeded 20 million. However, compared to the eighth official livestream, the rate at which the viewer count increased this time was much slower. After all, it was currently nearing midnight in China. It was also the eve of the Spring Festival. There wouldnt be as many people waiting in front of their screens on time.
[Its livestream time!]
[Ive waited for a long time.]
[All rise!]
[All rise! +1]
[Everyone, Happy New Year.]
[Auspicious Year of the Tiger!]
[I wish everyone an auspicious year!]
[Im not greedy for presents. Just give me a flying car.]
[Did you see the news? It seems theres going to be an asteroid collision!]
[Awesome]
Standing in the Headmasters Towers main hall, Chen Yu waited for the total viewer count to exceed 24 million before lowering his wrist and looking at the camera. He then said loudly, Friends and viewers in the livestream rooms, Happy New Year. This is Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream. Thank you for waiting before your screens and for giving me your support even on New Years Eve.
Looking back, its already been more than half a year since I reviewed the Nuclear Energy Laboratory. During this past half a year, weve come to know many strange and unimaginable technologies. We have broadened our horizons and increased our knowledge. To sum it up, weve made some harvests. At least, none of you wasted your time in my livestream rooms.
As for myself, I can proudly say that I have brought some visible changes to the world. For example, Beijings vacuum maglev train and Qingdao Citys Sword ISland. Ive also stopped a typhoon in Korea and the collision of the Asteroid Bell.
Most importantly, I constructed the Transdimensional Academy and brought new hope to human technology. These are all fortunate matters. It proves that Transdimensional Reviews existence is beneficial to mankind. As the host of this show, I feel proud of myself.
After saying so, Chen Yu opened his arms and continued, I hope that in the coming year, I can continue bringing you more exciting reviews and brilliant changes to the world!
[Applause, applause!]
[Clap, clap, clap.]
[Clap, clap]
[Everyone in my class knows of you now. Youll become a global sensation next year.]
[I get all of these, but where did the female assistant go? Cant you give your fans some service during the New Year?]
[While watching the Spring Festival Gala and livestream together, I found that the livestream is better.]
[Spring Festival Gala? Isnt that meant to be background music?]
[At the rate the reviews are progressing now, Earth might be gone before the end of next year]
Thats all for the New Years summary. Lets not forget about official business and begin our review for today.
After saying so, Chen Yu crouched down and patted the delivery box before him with his right hand. I have brought a very interesting product to show everyone today. Its this thing underneath my hand. This is also my New Year gift for everyone.
As this is an additional review, I wont be mentioning the products manufacturer and production date. Lets get straight to the point and unbox it!
Tear!
Accompanied by the sound of tape tearing, a red seal flew into the air.
Subsequently, Chen Yu grabbed the left cover with his left, and the right cover with his right hand. He then opened the cover and revealed a red box surrounded by packing foam.
Meanwhile, the image of a sinister human skull was depicted on top of the box. There was also a line of golden text written underneath the skull.
[Extremely hazardous product. Non-professionals should not open it.]
Beautiful. Exquisite
After observing the red box for a moment, Chen Yu took it out and displayed the skull logo to the camera. Smiling, he asked, Do you see it?
This is the New Year gift I painstakingly chose for everyone. Its name is the Miniature Anti-matter Destruction Generator, also known as
the Planetary Anti-matter Bomb.
In a friendly and peaceful tone, Chen Yu asked, Do you like it?
[?]
[??]
[???]
Chapter 272 - You Can’t Go Without Fireworks During New Year (2)
Chapter 272: You Cant Go Without Fireworks During New Year (2)
Chapter 272 C You Cant Go Without Fireworks During New Year (2)
Its called the Planetary Antimatter Bomb. Facing the camera, Chen Yu smiled and said, In other words, it is capable of causing damage on a planetary scale. Do you like this present, everyone?
[??]
[???]
[Stop kidding, please!]
[You call this a gift?]
[And its even a New Year gift?]
[Daddy, stop making trouble]
[Husband, stop making trouble]
[Wife, stop making trouble]
[Host, do you have any misunderstandings about the concept of New Year?]
[Excellent. The New Year has just arrived, and Earth-kun is already going to declare GG.]
[Exciting! Im in Tangshan City. Toss it to my side! Fast!]
Simultaneously, silence enveloped the special situation teams conference room in Beijing.
Antimatter The middle-aged team leader mumbled to himself as he stared at the big screen. I-Is it the matter particle with opposite electrical properties?
I-It should be the short-haired, female technical staff standing beside the middle-aged team leader answered, stammering. Maybe its similar to the former Nuclear Energy Laboratory and is categorized as a toy
He said it was a bomb.
..
Lowering his head, the middle-aged team leader took a look at the document listing the products speculated to appear in this livestream. After a moment of silence, he asked hoarsely, Compared to a hydrogen bomb, how much more powerful is an antimatter bomb? If it is detonated in outer space, will it affect the surface?
A collision of matter and antimatter will convert 100% of the mass into energy. The conversion rate of a hydrogen bomb that uses fusion reaction is only 0.7%. According to the mass-energy equation, the collision of one gram of antimatter and one gram of positive matter can generate 43,000 tons of TNT equivalent. The exact damage radius depends on the quantity of the antimatter, or how big the bomb is.
What if its the same size as the box hes holding?
Hearing this, the technical staff didnt even bother making any mental calculations as she pursed her lips before saying, If we only count 5,000 x 43,000 tons of TNT, well get at least 15,000 Hiroshima equivalent
Dont be nervous, everyone. Raising his wrist, Chen Yu glanced at the wave of bullet comments flooding across his watchs screen before explaining, The so-called planetary bomb doesnt mean it is capable of destroying planets. It is only capable of causing damage. It isnt very dangerous. In my opinion, it is the perfect firework.
However, for mankinds safety, Ill unbox this product in outer space. Picking up the red box, Chen Yu walked to the Interstellar Portal. While manipulating the portal, he continued, Otherwise, if an explosion were to occur here, just the resulting tsunamis and earthquakes would be more than enough for Earth to suffer.
Of course, as this is a dangerous product, even if you manage to go to outer space, please dont mimic my actions and casually unpackage an antimatter bomb.
[Only you will.]
[Only you will]
[This thing is perfect for blast fishing.]
[Can Big Ivan put up a fight?]
[You guys are still in the mood to joke around? Are you not worried at all? Thats an antimatter bomb were talking about!]
[Whats there to worry about? If were going to die anyway, lets all die together.]
[Didnt the host say that theres going to be an even more frightening product several episodes down the line? This is only an appetizer.]
[Listen to me. From now on, the livestreams genre should change from science and technology to horror.]
[Im standing at the balcony together with my family while waiting for the fireworks to bloom.(*^^*)]
Buzz!
Space within the metal arch fluctuated as the spatial link was successfully established. The world behind the metal arch then transformed into a deep, dark space.
King. Standing at a side, Little Peach worriedly said, Be careful.
Im just lighting a firecracker. Whats there to be careful of?
Waving his hand, Chen Yu put on his left glove and walked through the portal with the red box.
The floating camera also entered the portal together with Chen Yu, and the scenery displayed in the livestream rooms instantly changed.
Weve entered space.
While hovering in the vacuum environment, Chen Yu pointed at the super-large sphere underneath him and introduced, Everyone, you can see it, right? Below me is the planet you are residing on. The bright dots you see are city lights. Through these lights, you can also tell the degree of development of each region.
Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, and several other major cities are incredibly bright. These are the lights of civilization. However, the light thats going to appear next will be even brighter
After saying so, Chen Yu turned toward the camera and settled the red box before his chest. As I am in space, it is inconvenient for me to remove my glove, so I wont be looking at everyones bullet comments. Now, let the review continue.
The next moment, Chen Yu tore off the transparent seal on the red box and slowly removed the lid in front of the camera.
The next moment, what entered the livestreams 25 million viewers view was the red boxs white interior coupled. There were also two transparent glass casing in the center of the box, and inside each case was a floating capsule colored black and white.
Meanwhile, located directly below the glass covers was a virtually projected console.
Beautiful
Reaching out, Chen Yu cautiously touched the glass covers. The capsules should contain both positive matter and antimatter. Judging by the colors, black should be antimatter. Moreover, after opening the lid, my helmet has detected a strong magnetic field. So, there should be a strong magnetic field inside the capsules to prevent the two substances from making contact.
After observing for a moment, Chen Yu cautiously returned the lid onto the box. He then faced the camera and said, Its still early now. Theres still half an hour or so before the year is over, so lets not hurry in setting off the firecracker. Instead, Ill use this opportunity to introduce you to what antimatter is and how powerful an antimatter bomb is.
Firstly, I need to correct an existing misconception. The idea that a collision between matter and antimatter will directly result in the production of energy is incorrect. Stretching out a finger, Chen Yu casually said, The annihilation of matter is much more complicated than the above statement.
In the standard model of particle physics, elementary particles are divided into two types: fermions and bosons. Among them, fermions can be further divided into quarks and leptons.
Meanwhile, the so-called annihilation of particles and antiparticles doesnt mean both particles will just disappear out of thin air and transform into energy. There is no such saying in physics. Annihilation is, after all, a very basic particle reaction that transforms into various products.
For example, when an electron and a positron collide, they will be converted into two high-energy photons. The energy is derived from the mass of the two electrons, which satisfies the law of conservation of mass and energy. The photon is uncharged and satisfies the law of conservation of charge.
This is just the simplest example. It is important to know that more than 99% percent of the mass of matter comes from the nucleus. Meanwhile, the nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons, and each neutron and proton is composed of three valence quarks. Furthermore, in between valence quarks, there is an uncountable number of sea quarks bound by gluons. There is are also countless mesons shuttling rapidly in the neutron Everyone, do you see how complicated of a system this is?
[What? What? What? Whats all this?]
[Dont understand.]
[I dont get it, but it feels amazing.]
[Im only a machine that knows how to type awesome.]
[I get it! So, thats how it is! So, dumplings should be dipped in sea quark soy sauce! Where can I buy some?]
[Please look at high school science electives 3-5.]
[Intelligent men fascinates me.]
Amidst the overwhelming wave of bullet comments, Chen Yu continued his narration.
Hence, with such a complicated system, even simple annihilations such as protons and antiprotons will result in very uncertain and massive changes. Eventually, as many as nine kinds of electrons, antineutrinos, down antiquarks, and up quarks can be produced.
Therefore, when macroscopic matter and antimatter collide, we can never guess what kind of explosion will result.
However, one thing is for certain
According to human aesthetics, the explosion produced will be absolutely breathtaking
Chapter 273 - You Can’t Go Without Fireworks During New Year (3)
Chapter 273 C You Cant Go Without Fireworks During New Year (3)
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, living room of the Chen familys abode:
Chen Sanke leaned against the window and looked out at the sky idly.
Standing beside Chen Sanke was Chen Erke, who was fully engrossed in playing with her mobile phone.
Ever since obtaining her own phone, Chen Erke had thoroughly forgotten about her interest in drawing. Now, all her free time was spent either playing with her phone or waiting for her phone to be fully charged.
Third Eldest, arent you sleepy? Mother Chen, who sat on the living room sofa, asked with a yawn. Arent you sleepy?
Im not. Chen Sanke shook her head. She then pointed at the sky outside and said, Big Brother said there would be fireworks.
Nonsense. Taking a sip of his tea, Father Chen said, For safetys and environmental protections sake, who would dare set off fireworks nowadays? Youd be glad to hear firecrackers going off in the city. Youd have to go to the rural areas now to see fireworks.
Uu Big Brother said there will be.
You believe anything he says. Continue waiting, then.
Scratching her head, Chen Sanke looked out at the starry skies and repeated, Big Brother said
With this, everyone should have some basic knowledge of antimatter now. Next, I believe what everyone is most concerned about are its power and destructiveness.
In the deep space several hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Earth, Chen Yu tapped on the red box he held and said, If matter of my bodys size collides with antimatter and annihilation occurs, a frightening amount of energy will be produced. The generated energy would be enough to rival the energy produced one-millionth of a second after the Big Bang occurred.
Also, as any quark may have one of the three colors of red, green, and blue, the resulting explosion will be absolutely colorful and beautiful.
Hence, compared to nuclear weapons, antimatter explosions are real art.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked down at the planet underneath him. Its almost time. There are only two minutes left until midnight. My narration ends here.
Slowly, Chen Yu removed the red boxs lid under the nervous gaze of his 20 million-plus viewers. He then reached out and pressed the small, round button on the left side of the box.
Click
Along with an insignificant vibration, one of the two glass casings opened.
No longer confined by its transparent prison, the black and white capsule immediately hovered out of the box. Chen Yu then carefully held the capsule in his hand.
Look. After giving the camera a 360-degree view of the capsule, Chen Yu tapped on the capsules outer shell and said, The inside contains both matter and antimatter. Exquisite, right? Want to touch it?
[Crap! Im not touching it!]
[Stop tapping it!]
[Calm down]
[Stop tapping it, daddy!]
[This capsule is an old prescription that can cure all diseases.]
[How much antimatter can such a small capsule contain?]
[! (Wow!)]
Although I cant see the bullet comments right now, I can guess what everyone is saying. You must be wondering how much antimatter is stored inside this small capsule, right? Holding the black and white capsule in his right hand, Chen Yu stretched out four fingers with his left hand and said, Four thousand grams. Exactly 4,000 grams of antimatter is stored inside this capsule. Including the matter and shell, the capsules total weight is 9,600 grams.
Amazing, right? A capsule the size of my thumb weighs nearly 10 kilograms. The density of the materials is astonishing. According to the instructions I received, if this capsule is detonated, its TNT equivalent is 172 million tonnes! Thats 12,000 Hiroshima bombs!
Thats right. Even in the distant 30th century, the Hiroshima bomb is still used as a unit of measurement.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu looked at the time displayed inside his helmet and took a deep breath. He then gently opened his right palm and let the capsule drift away slowly.
The time is now 11:59 PM. There is less than one minute left before 2021 arrives. Ill leave the bomb here and detonate it after Ive withdrawn.
After closing the red boxs lid with a bang, he sent a glance at the disappearing black and white capsule before flying back to the Interstellar Portal. He then established a spatial link to a new location.
Two seconds later, the spatial link was established, and the scenery inside the portal changed into the dazzling city of Beijing.
After passing through the transparent spatial film, Chen Yu landed on the roof of a tall building.
Situated in front of him was a large plaza crowded with people.
Meanwhile, the huge screen in the plazas center was currently playing the Spring Festival Gala. Looking at the glorious stage displayed on the screen, Chen Yu found that the shows emcee was speaking his lines while surrounded by many actors.
To prevent the antimatter bomb from damaging the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu promptly disconnected the spatial link from his side. He then raised his head and looked up at the sky. Look. Theres not even a sound of firecrackers. How does this feel like a Chinese New Year? It doesnt feel lively at all. But for the sake of safety, fire hazards, and environmental pollution, it is also reasonable for the government to ban firecrackers.
After saying so, Chen Yu opened the red box once more and stretched out a finger. He then pressed a button on the central console. However, as a reasonable citizen, since our parents dont allow us to set off firecrackers, lets just set off an antimatter bomb. After all, we have to hear a boom on New Years Day, right?
[Right! Right! Youre absolutely right!]
[That sounds reasonable.]
[Totally OK! Antimatter bombs arent considered as fireworks.]
[Government: We fully support it! So, can you please lower your gun?]
[The explosion is happening in a vacuum. You wont hear a boom.]
[We can see lights.]
[Yes. Well get to see lights.]
[Im at the plaza below! I can see the portal!]
[Half a minute to go! Stop looking at your phones! Look at the sky!]
[Im inexplicably excited]
Let us use our sweat and harvest to say goodbye to the unforgettable year of 2020 and use it to inject a magical impetus to 2021
In the distant plaza, the speech of the emcee on the screen was nearing its end.
Realizing that he was running out of time, Chen Yu quickened his speech, Lastly, let me emphasize that the antimatter capsule is nearly 200,000 kilometers away from us, which is half the distance between the Earth and the moon. So, please rest assured that there will be no danger. Everyone can just relax and enjoy the view.
The bell of the New Year is about to ring. Compared to listening to a bunch of data, it is much better to directly feel the antimatter bombs charm. Now! Let us look up at the deep space and witness the most brilliant and spectacular fireworks in human history together!
At the same time, on the Spring Festival Galas stage, the emcee of the show, wearing a dignified expression, waved his left hand and said loudly, The first spring breeze of 2021 is blowing at us. Everyone, are you ready? Lets count down together
Emcee: Ten.
Adding more force to his finger that was resting on the button, Chen Yu said, Nine.
[Eight!]
[888!]
Seven.
Six
Midea Air Conditioner wishes the people of the country a happy Chinese New Year
Beijing, special situation teams office:
Including the middle-aged team leader, everyone in the office looked toward the sky through the conference rooms windows.
Jinzhou City, the Chen abode:
Chen Sanke taped her droopy eyelids and stared at the night sky without blinking.
China, Japan, Thailand
At this moment, tens of millions of people across different countries simultaneously looked up at the night sky.
Three!
Two!
One!
Beep!
Chen Yu abruptly applied pressure on his finger, pressing the button deeply into the central console and triggering the detonation. Afterward, he spread out his arms and looked up at the night sky while shouting, Happy New Year!
[Happy New Year!]
[Happy, happy, happy]
[Happy New Year!]
[ޤƤǤȤޤ!]
[ԦӦԦ֦ɦҦ?ͦϦ??Ӧ?.]
[Feliz ano novo!]
The next moment
Faint strands of light appeared in the night sky. Like ripples in a lake, the strands of light spread and rippled through the night sky, lighting up the whole world at a terrifying speed
Chapter 274 - Boom!
Chapter 274 C Boom!
It was a rapidly expanding, colorful sphere of light. Like a miniature sun, it instantly illuminated the dark eastern hemisphere.
The light particles that exploded under high pressure instantly crossed through dozens of thousands of kilometers and pierced into the Earths atmosphere. And when they came into friction with the atmosphere, they created a greenish, narrow aurora that occupied half of the eastern hemispheres sky!
The colorful sun
The blue sky
The green aurora
Inky clouds
The land with shimmering shadows
These things echoed and overlapped with each other to produce an array of mesmerizing colors.
Even words couldnt describe the beauty of this scene
Huh?! Whats that?!
A UFO?!
Heavens
The crowd in the plaza before Chen Yu immediately had their attention grabbed by this abnormal situation. Hurriedly, they looked up into the sky and panicked. Some timid people even ran into the nearby buildings to seek cover. Suddenly, chaos enveloped the entire plaza.
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap! The sky brightened!]
[Crap]
[I can finally see one of UPs product reviews with my own eyes. How beautiful]
[Im in tears.]
[Explosions are art!]
[This is going to make headlines all over the world tomorrow.]
[The circles expansion speed is equivalent to the speed of light! Isnt that amazing?!]
[The most expensive firework in history]
[Year Beast: What kind of enmity do I have with you people?]
The sphere of light rapidly expanded and enveloped Earth entirely. The dark skies covering the eastern hemisphere also vanished, and the sky became as bright as day. To be precise, the sky was painted in a rainbow of colors.
None of the livestreams viewers had expected that an antimatter bomb detonated outside Earths atmosphere would create such a mind-blowing scene.
At this time, Asias two billion-plus population stared at the colorful skies in shock and horror. Even those that were asleep had woken up to witness this amazing sight.
Meanwhile, the ones that reacted to this scene the quickest were undoubtedly those working in the media industry. Many people worked overtime to take photos and write scripts in preparation to announce this spectacular sight to the world.
Jinzhou City, Chen abodes living room:
Wow
Chen Sankes eyes glittered as she looked at the diffusion of colorful lights in the sky. So, these are fireworks? How beautiful
Reaching out with her tender white hands, Chen Sanke tried to catch the strands of light shining on her body. Naturally, she didnt catch anything.
Second Sis! Come look! Chen Sanke hurriedly ran to the sofa and nudged the sleeping Chen Erke. Look at the fireworks! Theyre so beautiful!
Uh? Chen Erke pulled her blanket over her face while muttering, Its morning already?
Bang!
The master bedrooms door abruptly opened, and Father Chen and Mother Chen came running out of the room in a panic. Mother Chen then picked up Chen Sanke while Father Chen ran to the window. W-Whats happening? Is it the end of the world?
At this time, Chen Yike also hurriedly ran out of her room and looked out the window, her face turning pale at the sight she saw.
E-Eldest, go online and see whats going on.
O-Okay! Chen Yike hurriedly nodded. She then took out her mobile phone, opened up her web browser, and soon found the headline released on the governments official news portal. I-It seems that two asteroids collided with each other
Is there any danger? Mother Chen asked worriedly. Will they hit us?
Let me see Chen Yike hurriedly scrolled through the page. After reading plenty of crucial information, she breathed out a sigh of relief and said, The professionals say they wont. The asteroids are very far from us. They even published a reminder about this during the Spring Festival Gala. We just didnt pay attention to it.
Ah. Father Chen, who was leaning against the window, reacted in realization. So, this is the firework Chen Yu mentioned? He saw the announcement? How attentive of him.
Its good if there isnt any danger. Mother Chen relaxed. She then sat on the sofa and looked out the window. It really is pretty, though. And here I thought a nearby factory exploded.
Will there be such beautiful fireworks in the future as well? Chen Sanke asked, tilting her head.
Thats not a firework, Chen Yike corrected. Thats a collision between two asteroids. Your brother tricked you.
Asteroids? What are asteroids?
Stars in the sky.
There will be beautiful fireworks if stars collide? Chen Sankes eyes glowed brightly. For the first time in her life, a small flame of curiosity toward astronomy was born in her small head
Well? Standing atop a tall building in Beijing, Chen Yu took a step back and pointed at the endlessly overlapping lights in the sky. Beautiful, right? The only unfortunate part is that we cant hear the explosion. Otherwise, this firework will be perfect.
After saying so, Chen Yu retracted his hand and tapped on the other glass casing inside the red box. The firework seems like itll continue for some time, so I wont be using this other capsule. Ill save it as a present for any naughty children.
[Are you a demon?]
[I suspect you are issuing a threat?]
[I suspect youre not suspecting at all.]
[Youre still calling it a firework?!]
[Its called firework if it remains in the sky. Its called doomsday if it hits the ground.]
[Thank you for the fireworks, host. I had my secretary think that it was the end of the world and confessed to her. In the end, she fearlessly said these three words to meGet lost, fool.]
[A silent prayer for the brother above]
As the diffusion of the sphere of light reached its end, the densely packed streaks of light also gradually thinned out and changed into a more permanent light source that illuminated the eastern hemisphere.
Meanwhile, after overcoming their initial shock and seeing no danger, the crowd in the plaza underneath Chen Yu gradually calmed down. They then began discussing the beautiful sight.
Boom.
Closing the red boxs lid, Chen Yu faced the camera and concluded, The old year is over, and the new year has come. Objectively speaking, this is just an ordinary day like any other. However, from our subjective perspective, this is a new beginning.
Before today, I have reviewed many interesting, peculiar, and magical future products for everyone. After today, as my access level increases, the products I review will gradually become more dangerous. This is also a normal phenomenon. Typically, the more advanced a civilization becomes, the stronger its technology will become as well.
Perhaps, the real excitement will only start this year. Setting down the red box, Chen Yu bowed slightly to the camera. Once more, I would like to thank everyone for giving me your unyielding attention.
Thats it for todays additional review. Although todays episode is indeed short, we are, after all, setting off a firework only. Theres no point in having an extended stream.
Lets hope this beautiful firework will bring good luck to everyone. When next years Spring Festival arrives, I will detonate a star and set off an even bigger firework. Please look forward to it.
[??]
[!!!]
[Are you serious?]
[(;???;)!]
The livestream ends here. Let us meet again during the ninth official review in three weeks!
Be there, or be square!
After saying so, Chen Yu turned off the broadcast, and the livestream rooms were plunged into darkness.
Chapter 275 - Media in Uproar
Chapter 275 C Media in Uproar
New Year Day:
The spectacular asteroid collision incident took the world by storm.
As soon as everyone woke up in the morning, the headlines they saw were all reports of this incident.
Everything from traditional to online news media reported on this incident.
On the surface, many astronomers claimed that this collision was something unique in the solar systems history. Although many people on the internet had questioned how the collision of two asteroids could be so beautiful, these forum posts were quickly drowned out by ghostwriters comments.
As for posts that couldnt be drowned into obscurity, they would be deleted directly
Secretly, the various governments were horrified by the power of this antimatter bomb.
According to the calculations made by their respective technical teams, if three of such antimatter bombs arranged were detonated simultaneously and 120 apart from each other in a low Earth orbit, the resulting light radiation would inflict severe burns on all living things in the world. Plants would also burst into flames, and global temperature would rise to roughly 60 degrees Celsius.
Indirectly, the antimatter bombs detonation would cause the atmosphere to heat up, the glaciers to melt rapidly, and the sea level to rise and submerge 57% of Earths land in water.
A less troublesome way to destroy human civilization would be to toss an antimatter bomb into Yellowstone Park. The detonation of the bomb would also achieve roughly similar results
Meanwhile, Transdimensionals UP still held one such antimatter bomb in his hands.
There might be an even bigger and stronger firework in the future.
In addition, according to the ending remarks Chen Yu made during his livestream, it would seem he planned to detonate a star during next years Spring Festival
From the various governments to the livestreams general audience, not many people felt that Chen Yu was joking.
Now that they knew a product like the antimatter bomb existed, it wouldnt be surprising if there was a product capable of destroying a star.
After destroying a star, destroying an entire star system wouldnt be impossible either.
And by that logic, destroying a galaxy would also be within expectations
As of this point, the various governments still hadnt seen through how far human civilization had managed to develop in the future. However, with Transdimensionals UP, they were inching closer and closer to this truth.
Due to this reason, the worlds various governments felt a sense of powerlessness toward Transdimensionals UP.
The various governments attitudes toward Transdimensional Reviews existence had also changed from the initial observe and control, to observe and cooperate, and then to observe and balance, and finally to we give up, so please just do it gently
Aside from observing, cooperating with the livestreams, and supplying raw materials, they, the masters of modern civilization, were utterly useless. They were also thoroughly incapable of resisting Transdimensional Reviews existence.
At this point, the various governments had already become side dishes
Bang! Bang!
New Years Day, half-past six in the morning:
A knock suddenly came from Chen Yus bedroom door.
Get up. Time to eat. Mother Chens voice came from outside the door.
Opening his eyes in a daze, Chen Yu picked up his phone and looked at the time. He then cried out in pain, What do you want?! Its still so early!
The first meal of the year must be eaten together. Go to bed after eating.
Fuck
Sitting up, Chen Yu yawned and staggered to put on a new set of clothes.
After ending yesterdays livestream, he had only fallen asleep around three oclock in the morning. Now that it was only six-thirty in the morning, he had, at most, gotten three hours of sleep. Even if his physique was far superior to ordinary people, he still felt dizzy from lack of sleep.
Mr. Chen, Happy New Year! Little Peach jumped onto the bed and clapped her hands excitedly. Its snowing outside! Can we have a snowball fight?
Hearing this, Chen Yu glanced at the snowflakes falling outside the window. Immediately, his mind freshened up considerably. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, Sure. Ill show you the plus version of a snowball fight today.
Yay! Little Peach cheered.
Let me finish eating first.
After changing into a new set of clothes, Chen Yu stepped out of his bedroom and came across his three little sisters staggering sleepily toward the bathroom.
From his perspective, it looked as if three zombies were limping toward the bathroom
Brother Happy Ah Seeing Chen Yu, Chen Yike tried to wish him a happy new year but couldnt help yawning partway through.
Ah Chen Erke was also infected by her elder sister and yawned.
Ah Chen Sanke followed closely behind.
Chen Yu also had the urge to yawn but held it back when he recalled he had the Yawning Denture installed in his mouth.
Chen Yu then entered the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed his face with cold water. Immediately, the remaining bits of drowsiness affecting his mind vanished completely.
Hurry up. The dumplings are going to freeze if you take any longer. Mother Chen had woken up earlier than anyone else in the family. Although she could hardly open her eyes either, she still finished cooking the dumplings and other dishes.
Got it.
Chen Yike rubbed her eyes and squeezed her way into Chen Yus arms. She then reached out and received the second-hand water to wash her face.
Mimicking her elder sister, Chen Erke squeezed into Chen Yikes arms, reached out with her hands, and washed her face with third-hand water.
Seeing this, Chen Sanke did her best to squeeze into the group, reached out with her chubby hands, and washed her face with fourth-hand water.
Looking at the layers of little sisters beneath him, Chen Yu pinched his forehead and complained, Cant you wait until I finish washing up?
Chen Yike: I dont think youre dirty.
Chen Erke: The water you two used is warm.
Chen Sanke: Youre splashing water onto my head!
After washing up, the Chen familys four young masters sat side by side around the dining table. They then watched as Mother Chen carried plate after plate of dumplings to the table.
Mother Chen: Do you only know how to eat? Cant you help set up the table?
Chen Sanke: Big Brother! The firework yesterday was pretty!
Confused, Chen Erke asked, Firework? What firework?
Chen Yu: Big Brother will never lie to you. I specifically prepared that firework for you.
Chen Sanke: How amazing
Contempt in her eyes, Chen Yike said, Tch. It was just an asteroid collision.
Thats right. I controlled the asteroids to collide with each other and create the fireworks.
Her complexion darkening, Mother Chen said, Are you treating me as air?
Chen Sanke: Big Brother, will there be more next year? I still want to see it.
Sure! Chen Yu nodded. There will be an even bigger one next year. I promise.
Chen Yike: Experts say that such near-Earth collisions between asteroids are incredibly rare. There wont be another one next year.
Chen Erke: What are you guys talking about? [?_??]
Clenching her fists, Mother Chen angrily grabbed the bowls and chopsticks on the kitchen counter and placed them before the Chen familys four young masters, one set after another.
Hurry up and eat. Ill bring you guys out to play once were done eating. Chen Yu grabbed the chopsticks set before him in a natural manner. He then looked at Mother Chen and asked, What about soy sauce? How can we eat dumplings without soy sauce?
I cant get angry during the New Year, Mother Chen muttered to herself as she suppressed her anger. She then squeezed out a smile, grabbed the soy sauce bottle from the kitchen counter, and handed it to Chen Yu. Here.
Chen Erke: Mom! Wheres the vinegar?
Here.
Chen Sanke: I want sesame oil!
Chen Yike: Wheres the chili, Mom? I remember there was some on the cutting board yesterday.
Father Chen: My wife, pass me the mustard.
Mother Chen: Ahhh!!!
Meanwhile, the parallel timeline two thousand years into the future also ushered in the Lunar New Year.
However, in the 40th century, this day was only a small festive day, and not many people actually cared about it.
Outer Solar System, Kuiper Belt, Transdimensional Marketing Company Headquarters, second mezzanine space:
The marketing staff responsible for Chen Yu got out of her cabin. Under the shade, she walked up to the window nearby and waved her right hand across it. Immediately, a transparent, powdery substance emerged from the window and condensed into a wine glass containing a rich, red liquid.
The marketing staff gracefully took a sip from the wine glass. With a thought, she then sent out a message through brain waves.
Block C, the growth value the partner showed during the eighth official livestream is already sufficient for promotion. You can start preparing that special product now.
Okay, no problem. Ill let Block B be responsible for the ninth and tenth episodes products.
Sure.
After the brief conversation, the marketing staff set down the wine glass, looked at the deep darkness outside the window, and muttered to herself, Its almost that time, huh.
What can be donehas been done
Chapter 276 - Identity in Danger (1)
Chapter 276 C Identity in Danger (1)
Bang! Bang!
When Chen Yu and his three little sisters got dressed and ready to have a snowball fight outside, a knock suddenly came from the security door.
Opening the door, Chen Yike found a panting girl standing outside the house. The girl also held two large boxes in her hands.
Xing Biqi? Chen Yu was surprised.
C-Chen Yu Xing Biqis cheeks flushed when she saw Chen Yu. Lowering her head shyly, she said, H-Happy New Year.
What are you doing here?
To wish you a Happy New Year.
Is it a guest? Mother Chen walked out of the kitchen. The moment she saw Xing Biqi, her eyes immediately brightened as she asked Chen Yu, Is this young lady here your classmate?
Mhm.
What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and let her in! Mother Chen hurriedly put down the tablecloth she held, washed her hand at the kitchen sink, and returned to welcome the girl into the house enthusiastically.
Y-You dont need to trouble yourself, Auntie. Im just here to pay a New years greeting. Ill leave after Im done, Xing Biqi said. After setting down the two boxes of fruit by the door, she promptly stepped away. I wish you a Happy New Year.
Wah! At this time, Chen Sanke came running to the door. She then called out in surprise, White Rabbit Sister.
H-Hello, Sanke. Xing Biqi bent down and rubbed Chen Sankes head. She then pulled out a peach-flavored candy from her pocket and handed it to the little girl, Make sure to brush your teeth after eating it.
After accepting the pink candy, Chen Sanke promptly unwrapped it and tossed it into her mouth. Squinting her eyes in satisfaction, she said, Thank you, Peach Sister.
You Chen Yu felt like puking blood when she heard Chen Sankes way of calling Xing Biqi.
Come inside and warm your body, Chen Yike said as she dragged Xing Biqi into the house with a smile. After closing the door, she said, No need to be polite.
Come, girl. Have a drink. Mother Chen ran into the living room, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Xing Biqi with an unusually kind expression on her face. Are you good friends with Chen Yu?
Were classmates, Chen Yu interjected.
Im not asking you. Girl, tell me.
W-Were classmates, Xing Biqi said timidly.
Paying a classmate a visit on New Years Day? Putting on a mysterious expression, Mother Chen asked, Auntie will be a little euphemistic with you. Are you two mates?
!!! Xing Biqi was startled.
Mom. Pinching her forehead, Chen Yike asked, Do you even know what euphemism means?
I Thisisnt Xing Biqis face turned into a tomato. In a subdued voice, she said, Im I-Its just that Chen Yu has a-always been helping me study, so I came to visit him. A-Auntie, please dont misunderstand.
Dont misunderstand. Tugging at Mother Chens shirt with an ugly expression, Chen Erke said, Shes only here to for a New Years visit and seduce your son while shes at it.
Everyone:
Enraged, Mother Chen slapped Chen Erkes buttocks and scolded, Second Eldest! Dont talk nonsense!
Whats seduce? Chen Sanke asked.
Covering Chen Sankes mouth with her hands, Mother Chen smiled at Xing Biqi and said, Girl, dont worry. Chen Yus father and I are different from the parents of other families. We are very open-minded. We arent opposed to youngsters entering a relationship at a young age. Its fine as long as it doesnt interfere with your studies.
A-Auntie! Its a misunderstanding! Xing Biqi was about to burst into tears.
However, in Mother Chens experienced eyes, Xing Biqis reaction was the same as the girl admitting her crimes.
Under Mother Chen and Chen Yikes strong urging, Xing Biqi was dragged to the living room sofa. Everyone in the Chen family except Chen Erke and Chen Yu then subjected the girl to warm hospitality.
After getting a brief understanding of Xing Biqis academic performance and personal situation, Mother Chen and Father Chen viewed the girl in an increasingly favorable light. The two elders even began asking the girl about her relationship progress with their son.
Let alone Xing Biqi, even Chen Yu, who stood at a side, could no longer stand Mother Chen and Father Chens questioning. Hurriedly, Chen Yu dragged the girl to the door and said to his parents, Were leaving. You guys continue talking among yourselves.
Are we having a snowball fight? I-Im all ready! Chen Sanke hurriedly grabbed Chen Yus clothes to avoid falling behind.
Evil woman Chen Erke muttered before putting on her cap and following after her elder brother.
Mom. After putting on her down jacket, Chen Yike looked at Mother Chen in a new light as she said, I never thought you were so open-minded. Do you really not care that Big Brother is in an early relationship?
Whats there to care? Waving her hand, Mother Chen leaned back against the sofa proudly as she said, Children and grandchildren have their happiness to pursue. Blindly forcing rules on them will only yield the opposite effect. Besides, children are not robots. They have emotions and desires as well. If the two of them like each other, how can an elder like myself bear to tear them apart?
Picking up his teacup and taking a sip, Father Chen nodded and said, Your mother is right.
This is the first time Ive seen you being so wise, Mom! Chen Yike said, giving Mother Chen a thumbs up. In that case, once I enter high school and have a relationship
Ill break your leg! Mother Chens expression changed abruptly.
Chen Yike:
Bang!
Ruthlessly smacking the coffee table, Father Chen said, Ill break both your legs!
Chen Yike:
After leading Xing Biqi to the elevator, Chen Yu scratched his head and asked, Its New Years Day. Why arent you spending it at home?
I-I wanted to see you. Lowering her head and pinching her fingers, Xing Bixqi said, Its New Years Day. Isnt it normal for neighbors to visit each other?
Were neighbors?!
According to the global village theory, arent we neighbors? Xing Biqi said, blinking her eyes.
Fine, you win.
Peach Sister is our neighbor? Chen Sanke asked as she looked up at Xing Biqi. Which floor are you staying on?
Third Eldest! Cant you call her Big Sister normally?!
But arent those two my Big Sisters? Chen Sanke said as she pointed at Chen Yike and Chen Erke, who had just entered the elevator. Any more, and I wont be able to tell them apart.
Its just a name. Bending over, Xing Biqi stroked Chen Sankes head and said, You can call me whatever you want, Sanke.
Call her Vixen Sister, then! Chen Erke suggested with her hand raised.
Keep your mouth shut! Chen Yike hurriedly covered Chen Erkes mouth. She then smiled at Xing Biqi and said, She didnt mean that. Big Sis, dont mind it.
I-Its fine. Xing Biqi nodded. I wont take offense at a childs words.
Grape Sister, did you see the firework yesterday?
Firework? Xing Biqi was momentarily taken aback. She then reacted to the situation and said, I saw it. You mean the one that happened at midnight, right?
Right! Chen Sanke nodded. She then happily said, Was it nice? My Big Brother set it for me.
That was a collision between two asteroids! Chen Yike said, frowning. How many times have I told you already? Your brother doesnt have that kind of ability.
What kind of firework was it? Dissatisfied, Chen Erke asked, Why didnt you wake me to watch it together?
I did, but you kept sleeping.
Actually Lightly running her fingers through her hair, Xing Biqi said mysteriously, That wasnt a firework. It wasnt a collision between two asteroids either.
Huh? What was it, then? Chen Yike asked, puzzled.
Chen Yu, do you know about Transdimensional?
Transdimensional? Scratching his head, Chen Yu put on a confused expression as he asked, What Transdimensional?
It seems you all dont know. Xing Biqi took a moment to observe her surroundings. After verifying that no other people were nearby, she lowered her voice and said, Ill tell you, but you mustnt tell anyone else about it.
Tch. Cut it with the mystery. We dont mind not knowing about it, Chen Erke said in annoyance. However, despite her words, she perked her ears up higher than everyone else.
You must promise! You cannot tell anyone else about it! Xing Biqi warned sternly. Otherwise, youll get into trouble!
Chen Yike: I promise not to tell!
Chen Sanke: Thats the firework Big Brother gave me!
Chen Yu, you especially! Promise you wont tell anyone else!
Uh Sure, I promise.
Ill tell you then. Narrowing her eyes, Xing Biqi lowered her voice even further and said, The abnormal situation that happened in the early morning of New Year was actually
Chapter 277 - Identity in Danger (2)
Chapter 277 C Identity in Danger (2)
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District:
The Chen familys four young masters and Xing Biqi huddled in a corner of the apartment lobby.
The abnormal situation that happened in the early hours of New Year was actually
Lowering her voice as much as possible, Xing Biqi said, A big explosion.
Thats right. Chen Yike nodded. Its a big explosion caused by the collision of two asteroids.
It wasnt an asteroid collision, but something called an antimatter bomb instead, Xing Biqi said. After taking another careful look at her surroundings, she continued, Transdimensionals UP detonated the bomb. You mustnt talk about this to anyone else. I heard from my chat group that many people have been taken away by the government.
Transdimensionals UP? Is it a person?
Yes! A very amazing person!
Is that so? Awesome, awesome, Chen Yike said. In reality, though, she paid no heed to the nonsense Xing Biqi just said. She did not believe that an individual would have the ability to cause an explosion that was even more violent than nuclear detonation.
Seeing this, Xing Biqi didnt say anything more. Instead, she pulled out her phone from her down jacket and opened Bilibilis application. She then displayed the main page of Transdimensional Reviews channel to Chen Yike and said, Its him. Youll know once you follow him.
Seventeen million subscribers?!
Chen Yike couldnt help but be shocked when she saw the subscriber count displayed on the screen. Ive been using Bilibili all this time as well. Why dont I know about this UP even though he has over 10 million subscribers?
At this time, Chen Yu scratched his ears and casually looked around at the several surveillance cameras hanging from the lobbys ceiling. He then calmly glanced at the security guards eating sunflower seeds in the distant security room.
Bilibili doesnt offer recommendations for this UP. You wont see him if you dont search for the name Transdimensional Review. Moreover, it isnt just Bilibili. The UP has many subscribers on other local and overseas broadcasting platforms as well. If we add it all together, he should have over 100 million subscribers.
Heavens! Grabbing Xing Biqis phone, Chen Yike hurriedly scrolled through Chen Yus past videos. When she saw the massive viewership every video received, she couldnt help but gape in shock. Arent these views bought?
No. Youll understand once you follow him.
Okay. Chen Yike returned the phone to Xing Biqi. She then pulled out her new Vivo phone and opened her Bilibili app. The next moment, however, she froze as she said, I forgot. The search function got removed after the recent software update.
They removed it to prevent people from searching for Transdimensionals UP. Ill copy the link and share it with you.
After the two girls fiddled around with their phones for a moment, Chen Yike also successfully subscribed to Transdimensional Reviews channel. Under Xing Biqis guidance, Chen Yike then opened up Chen Yus eighth official livestream, which was also the latest review video available.
The antimatter bombs review is considered an additional review, so the UP didnt upload an edited version of the livestream. However, after you watch his past reviews, youll know whether Im telling the truth.
Without speaking, Chen Yike clicked on the eighth official livestreams edited version, hid the tsunami of bullet comments, and observed the videos content.
Whats there to watch? Stop wasting time. Itll get boring if it stops snowing afterward.
Chen Yu tried to stop Chen Yike from watching the video, but the latter swiftly avoided his hand and said, Right away! Ill be ready after watching the video!
Five minutes later, Chen Yike turned off her phone after watching through half of the edited clip. Feeling her world view shattering, she skeptically asked Xing Biqi, Isnt this CG? How can there be something like this? Reviewing future products? Such a thing doesnt even exist in movies.
Wait till the ninth official livestream arrives. Youll believe it once you watch the livestream, Xing Biqi said. She then placed a finger on her lip and said, Its fine if you dont believe it even after you watch the stream, but make sure not to tell anyone. Youll get in trouble very easily.
Whats with all the mystery Chen Erke, who had been watching the secretive exchange between her elder sister and Xing Biqi, clicked her tongue.
If And I mean if, Chen Yike emphasized. If this Transdimensionals UP is real, then did he set off yesterdays firework to celebrate the New Year?
Mhm. I watched the livestream from start to end yesterday. The cause of that massive explosion was only apiece of thumb-sized antimatter. Its simply magical.
Nonsense! Chen Yike excitedly brandished her little fists. Big Brother set off the firework for me! Big Brother already told me about it in advance at dinner yesterday!
Hearing this, Xing Biqi couldnt help but look at Chen Yu and asked, In advance?
Um Wasnt there a report on TV yesterday? Chen Yu said vaguely. He then dragged Chen Sanke out of the lobby and said, You two can continue with your bonding here. Were going to have a snowball fight.
Bleh! After giving Xing Biqi a silly face, Chen Erke merrily hopped after Chen Yu.
Lets go! Lets have a snowball fight! After seeing her three siblings leaving, Chen Yike hurriedly linked arms with Xing Biqi and said, Lets go together.
S-Snowball fight? Im joining as well?
Of course! The more, the merrier!
B-But I
No buts. I still need you to tell me about Transdimensional Review in detail afterward. I keep getting a familiar feeling when I listen to that UPs accent.
You too?! Xing Biqi reacted in pleasant surprise. Its not just his accent. Ive been paying attention to his body proportions, manners, and temperament for a long time now, and they all feel very familiar
Outside the lobby
Chen Yu held Chen Sankes hand with his left hand and tucked his right hand in his pocket. He clenched his fingers subconsciously, a somber look appearing on his face.
At this moment, he was hesitating whether he should find an opportunity to knock his three little sisters unconscious with the Amnesia Bat. Although it was only a matter of time his family found out about Transdimensional Reviews existence, he still wished to extend this time as much as possible.
He didnt have any great reason for doing so, though. He merely found it embarrassing whenever he thought about having his family pay close attention to his livestreams.
Ten minutes later
The group of five arrived at the entrance of Jinzhou Citys Peoples Park.
Halting his footsteps, Chen Yu gazed at the sparsely populated park. In the end, he gave up the idea of letting his three little sisters have amnesia.
Are we still having a snowball fight? Im the best at it! Chen Erke ran into the park excitedly and quickly formed a snowball. She then threw the snowball at Xing Biqis head.
Ah! Surprised, Xing Biqi hurriedly stepped back.
Stop making trouble. Grabbing Chen Erke, Chen Yu revealed an evil smirk as he pulled out a dozen small paper boxes from his pocket. He then threw them onto the snow and said, We cant just have a normal snowball fight on New Years Day. It needs to be something special.
Whats this? Chen Yike wondered as she bent over and picked up a box. Immediately afterward, she widened her eyes in shock, Firecrackers?!
Yes, firecrackers. Tearing open a box, Chen Yu pulled out a firecracker from the box, lit its fuse, stuffed it into a snowball he made and threw the snowball into the sky.
Whoosh
Bang!
Before the snowball could even succumb to gravity, the firecracker within it exploded, shredding it.
Wow! Chen Erke clapped her hands joyfully. How fun!
Brother Frowning, Chen Yike asked, Is it alright to let little children play such a dangerous game?
I chose the firecrackers specifically for this occasion. These small ones have very little power, Chen Yu said as he waved his hand casually. We used to play with even bigger ones when we were young, and nothing happened back then. Dont you remember how much fun we used to have? Everything will be fine so long as nobody tries to make trouble.
F-Fine Chen Yike said, tempted by Chen Yus words.
We just need to keep a close eye on Second Eldest and make sure she doesnt do anything stupid. After pulling out all the firecrackers in his pockets, Chen Yu said, You guys distribute the firecrackers and start playing first. Im going to the toilet.
After saying so, Chen Yu ran into the forest located by the parks plaza.
Shortly afterward, he found Little Peach, who was sitting on a pile of snow.
Mr. Chen! Youre finally here! Can we start playing now? Little Peach cheered and threw herself onto Chen Yu.
Sure, but I have to tell you one thing in advance. If you dont listen to my words, I wont bring you along, Chen Yu said as he pushed Little Peach away. Will you be obedient?
I will! Ill listen to anything you say!
Good. The situations like this: Shortly after I had you teleport to the park, a guest came to our house, so I ended up bringing her along to play with us. You are not allowed to injure her no matter what!
Why would I? The more, the merrier! Little Peach said as she rubbed her palms together. Whos the guest?
Xing Biqi.
Why are your eyes breathing fire
Chapter 278 - Most Awesome Headmaster in History
Chapter 278 C Most Awesome Headmaster in History
What a pity. I didnt get to cut my hair.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, after returning from visiting his maternal grandparents home, Chen Yu sighed ruefully as he stood in the lobby of his houses apartment complex.
Smack!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, Mother Chen immediately slapped the back of his head. Are you looking to die?! Your Uncle would rip you apart if he heard that!
Mom, youre too superstitious. Also, can someone as tough as Uncle possibly die from a measly superstition? Chen Yu said, curling his lips.
Chen Yu, stay away from me. I dont wish to scold you during the New Year, Mother Chen said as she clenched her fists.
Sure.
Chen Yu stepped into the elevator while holding two frozen chickens in his left hand and Chen Sankes hand with his right hand.
Big Brother, why cant you cut your hair during New Year?
Theres a feudal superstition that says that cutting your hair during the first lunar month will kill your uncle. However, we are part of the intelligent younger generation, so we dont believe in that.
Oh. Chen Sanke nodded, not fully understanding the explanation. In that case, once I grow up and have children, I-Ill have them cut their hair on
Smack!
Chen Yu smacked the back of Chen Sankes head before she could finish her sentence. You looking to die?
After going through the elevator ride and arriving before their house, Chen Yu unlocked the security door and opened it. And as soon as he opened the door, a black shadow came pouncing at him.
Pikachu! Chen Sanke spread her arms and hugged the husky excitedly.
Woof~ Pikachu wagged its tail fervently, causing the paper lanterns inside the house to shudder.
After changing into his slippers and storing the two frozen chickens in the fridge, Chen Yu patted the dog on its head and said to Chen Sanke, Make sure to wash your hands after getting touched by a dirty animal.
Woof! The husky nodded in agreement. It then ran to the bathroom, leaned on the sink, turned on the faucet with its nosh, and washed its paws.
Dammit! Dont stop me! Im turning it into stew!
Hugging tightly onto Chen Yus legs, Chen Sanke said, Big Brother! Dont!
Shortly after, the security door opened once more, and the rest of the Chen family entered the house one after another while carrying all sorts of luggage.
Ah, were finally home. After setting down her stuffed backpack, Chen Yike dashed into the living room and laid on the sofa. Our home is still the best.
Chen Yu, couldnt you wait for us? You didnt even help with the luggage either, Mother Chen said angrily.
You told me to stay away from you, Chen Yu quibbled after carefully washing his hands in the bathroom. He then unlocked the door to his room and pushed open the door. That bratty cousin of mine kept me up all night. Im going to get some sleep. Dont call me for dinner.
Bang!
After entering his bedroom, Chen Yu shut the door and locked it.
Somethings wrong with this child. Mother Chen frowned. Hes been shutting himself in his room all the time recently.
He has a partner now, Father Chen said, waving his hand casually while sorting out the refrigerator. Hes also in his puberty. Its understandable that he wants some personal space to himself.
He doesnt want us anymore now that he has that vixen, Chen Erke said, pouting. I want to sleep with Big Brother tonight.
Meanwhile, Chen Yike grasped the phone in her pocket tightly as she silently stared at Chen Yus bedroom door, her mind occupied by various thoughts.
Mr. Chen! Youre back!
Shh, keep your voice down.
After removing his jacket, Chen Yu looked around the room before asking Little Peach, Did you and the husky cause any trouble at home these past two days?
No. Little Peach shook her head. Pikachu has been very obedient.
Im mainly talking about you.
L-Little Peach has been obedient as well
Theres a but behind that sentence, right?
Huh? Startled, Little Peach asked, How did you know?
Dammit! There really is a but?!
Lowering her head, Little Peach said in a hushed voice, T-Theres a serious bug in one of my software projects, and I ended up losing some money.
Thats it? Chen Yu asked suspiciously.
I promise! This is the only trouble!
How much did you lose?
O-One hundred and seventy thousand Little Peach answered.
Fine, it doesnt matter. Sitting on his bed, Chen Yu said, Its only 170,000. Thats just spare change. Its fine so long as you dont cause any big trouble.
Mr. Chen, please rest assured! I will win it back next time?
Huh?
Ah, no! I mean, Ill earn it back!
Although Chen Yu faintly felt that something was amiss, he didnt think too deeply into the matter. He then changed the topic and asked, How is the establishment of the Transdimensional Website coming along?
I had already set it up yesterday, Little Peach said as she patted her chest triumphantly. Im the best at this. The website works perfectly. The invited students have also registered their information on the website already.
How many of them registered?
Let me check. Sitting before the study table, Little Peach tapped away on her keyboard briefly before answering, One thousand six hundred and thirty-three!
Stop taking on projects for now and focus on inspecting these students information. Filter out the ones that have sensitive information.
Okay!
Also, send the information of those top students to my phone. Transfer it through Bluetooth.
Understood.
Laying down on the bed, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and began browsing the news of the past two days. He then flipped through the student information Little Peach sent him.
He read through the information very quickly, ignoring the males and giving the females a few glances. He also made sure to note down the beautiful ones and considered whether to give them extra points during the interview
However, Chen Yu did not think he was going too far with his actions.
After all, this was something every qualified headmaster should do.
Time passed by quickly like a whirlpool in the toilet.
In the blink of an eye, only a week remained before Transdimensional Review hosted its ninth official livestream. However, at this time, the worlds governments were already in a tense state.
The reason for this was because today was the Transdimensional Academys enrollment day.
With the countless popular science books contained within the Super Floating Castle, every student that successfully enrolled into the Transdimensional Academy would undoubtedly become a national treasure-level scientific talent in the future.
Moreover, among the various kinds of human relationships available, relationships between students and teachers always had a very special and profound existence in human civilization. This had remained true since ancient times until now.
If any of the students could form a tight bond with Transdimensionals UP, it would be a massive breakthrough on various levels.
Hence, the various governments would naturally do their best to cherish this precious opportunity.
Whoosh
A Boeing plane landed steadily on the runway of Light Islands Third Airport. Several shuttle buses then drove forward immediately to pick up the 100-plus teenagers who had disembarked from the plane.
These teenagers all originated from China. As soon as they were done celebrating the Chinese New Year, they had rushed to Beijing and rode a plane to Civilizations Light Island to participate in the most important exam in their lives.
That thing above us is the floating castle, right? After entering the shuttle bus, one bespectacled female student looked up at the black spot in the sky excitedly. How romantic. I want to live on it.
If you really get to stay on it, Ill be calling you Academician Tang from now on, the young man sitting next to the bespectacled girl said. After taking a deep breath, he continued, Dont be nervous during the exam. Whether you become a hero or zero will all depend on this exam.
Arent you even more nervous than I am? the bespectacled girl said as she leaned against her seat. She then shrugged and continued, Im only here for the experience. Im not holding onto any hopes of getting accepted. You, on the other hand, are the top student of our Third Middle School. Just do your best to keep your cool.
Stop speaking, the young man said in a hushed tone as he turned around to look at the silent students around him. Conserve your energy.
Twenty minutes later
Under the guidance of several government leaders, the students entered the airport.
When they walked through the long corridor and entered the airports lobby, what entered their eyes stunned them.
Crap, isnt this a little
Chapter 279 - Acting Aborted
Crap, isnt this a little too much?!
When everyone walked into the airport lobby, they couldnt help but gape in shock.
The shining, five-meter-tall statue standing in the middle of the gorgeous lobby had thoroughly caught their attention.
Judging based on the statues shape, it was evident the person this statue depicted was a man. Meanwhile, this man wore a long robe and maintained a cool waving posture.
The stone plaque under the statue also had two lines of text engraved on it.
I guide humanitys direction.
King.
How cool! The bespectacled girl screamed and covered her mouth in excitement.
How is that cool? Dont you find it to be very The young man standing beside the bespectacled girl held himself back from finishing his sentence.
Very what?
Forget it. Its nothing.
After looking at the statue momentarily with a complicated look, the young man pulled his companion away from the statue and followed after the rest of their group out of the lobby.
However, upon arriving at the plaza outside the airport, they came upon another statue.
Compared to the statue inside the lobby, the one outside was even bigger! Moreover, its metal body was polished to a point where it was shining brightly. Meanwhile, this statue portrayed Transdimensionals UP making his iconic gesture of intertwining his fingers before his chest.
Wow! This one is even cooler!
The young man couldnt help but step forward and circle over to the statues front. He then observed the text written on the stone plaque.
The Milky Ways greatness lies in the fact that every one of its stars is shining. The same is true for humans.
King.
How gaudy Looking up, the young man extended his hand upward, only to discover that he could only reach up to the statues base. Isnt this comparable to the Statue of Liberty?
Hey! ?l? koske siihen asiaan! Pysy poissa! (Dont touch it! Stay away!) a nearby staff member immediately reprimanded the young man when he noticed the youths actions. Go!
Olen pahoillani! (Finnish: Im sorry!) Startled, the young man hurriedly backed away from the statue and hid back to his group.
Fellow students, please dont arbitrarily leave the group, the leader of the team said sternly.
If it were any other person, he wouldve long since cussed at them. However, there was a possibility that some of these students might make it into the Transdimensional Academy. Due to this reason, he made sure to maintain a gentle attitude toward them to avoid offending any future bigshots.
Dont go walking around as you like, the bespectacled girl said, frowning. This isnt our middle school anymore.
I only wanted to look at what was written on the statue, the young man said, shrugging. After looking at the two statues, Im certain the idea for them didnt come from Transdimensionals UP.
How do you know?
Simple. His lips curling up, the young man said, The craftsmanship for the two statues is different. Lets use the shell-making process, for example. The outdoor statue uses a resin mold, and its craftsmanship isnt very high. After the copper is poured into the mold, some problems also occurred during the cleaning and polishing process, which further leads to angular deviation in the splicing process.
Under the bespectacled girls astonished gaze, the young man calmly continued with his analysis, On the other hand, the indoor statue is made using precision casting. The anti-corrosion coating of the main isopropanol material can form a highly stable super-hydrophobic coating on the basic surface of the bronze. Meanwhile, this coating has anti-corrosion, hydrophobic, anti-ultraviolet, and anti-aging effects.
For two very different statues to appear in the same airport already proves a problem. It is possible that this massive statue outside is a gift made by a small country to curry favor with Transdimensionals UP.
A-Amazing! Have you studied sculptures in detail before?
No. The young man shook his head. I once watched a documentary where the host stated that the Statue of Liberty wouldnt decay even after mankind went extinct. I felt that the other partys data was incorrect, so I spent half a day finding the relevant information and making my own calculations. In the end, I proved that the host was wrong.
How old were you at that time?
Twelve.
The bespectacled girl:
After walking for another dozen minutes or so, the group arrived before a helicopter parking area. They then boarded the helicopters prepared there under the on-site staff members guidance.
Its my first time riding a helicopter. Im so nervous.
This is the last leg of the trip, the young man said as he looked up at the mysterious island through the window. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the bespectacled girl and gave her a thumbs up. Lets hope none of us come back down.
Mhm. The bespectacled girl returned the thumbs up. Good luck!
Super Floating Castle, Headmasters Tower:
Chen Yu put on a mage robe over his protective suit. He then sat on a wooden chair by the window and observed the temporary plaza set up on the field area. Currently, groups of youths were being ferried onto the floating castle by helicopter, and the youths that had arrived were waiting patiently in the plaza.
Meanwhile, standing at the periphery of the plaza was the various governments jointly formed security team. The security team was responsible for maintaining order among the students.
Picking up the wine glass nearby, Chen Yu leisurely took a sip of red wind.
He was a little excited today. He was so excited that he had drunk at least half a bottle of red wine already.
As to why he was so excited, it was because he was going to become the headmaster and chief examiner of the fate of countless people today.
Boring. This is too boring.
Smacking his lips, Chen Yu placed down the wine glass and turned his head sideways. Hermione.
Im here. Hermiones slim figure instantly appeared behind Chen Yu. She then bowed slightly and asked, Lord Headmaster, what are your orders?
Is that the last batch of students?
Yes. There are no more scheduled flights.
How many people came to take the exam?
Excluding the 12 students you have disqualified in advance and the 14 students who have clearly stated their refusal to take part in the exam the day before, the remaining 1,764 invited students are all present.
Good.
Nodding, Chen Yu stood up and picked up his mask. After covering up his flushed face, he opened the window and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The next moment, gray particles appeared around him and carried him out the window.
Lord Headmaster, will you be giving your speech now? Hermione asked as she took to the air as well. If thats the case, Ill have the professors transport the test papers over now.
Mhm. No need to be in such a hurry. As the headmaster, I need to speak longer.
Very well.
Bang.
After shutting the window, Chen Yu burped in delight before clearing his throat and flying to the plaza.
Meanwhile, when the students in the plaza saw Chen Yu flying toward them, they promptly cried out in surprise and joy.
Hes coming!
Awesome!
Its Transdimensionals host!
Crap! Hes too cool! He can fly!
Amidst the waves of exclamation, Chen Yu arrived above the crowd and hovered there. He then began scanning the crowd from left to right while exuding an imposing aura.
Suddenly, silence enveloped the entire plaza.
In this situation, the security staff standing at the periphery subconsciously placed their hands on their firearms, their nerves tensed.
The many government representatives standing in the corner of the plaza also put on straight faces as they waited for the Lord Headmasters important instructions.
With his hands resting on his back, Chen Yu remained silent.
He had many things he wanted to say and many acts he wanted to put on.
This was the highlight of his life as an academic flunkie.
However, maybe because he had grown nervous from facing against over a thousand top students who sat at the top of the food chain, or perhaps because he had drunk a little too much, but he
Hehad forgotten his lines.
His mind was a complete blank at this moment.
Seeing that Chen Yu did not speak, the crowd below naturally did not dare utter a word.
As a result, the venue was strangely quiet.
Some of the more timid schoolgirls had even held their breaths.
Greetings, students
After a while, Chen Yu felt that it wouldnt be right for him to continue remaining silent. Hence, he finally managed to utter the first two words of the script he prepared.
Afterward, silence resumed for another half a minute before Chen Yu finally managed to squeeze out the last four words of his script. Let the exam begin.
The students: ???
Chapter 280 - Acting Succeeds…
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 280 C Acting Succeeds
Morning, in a plaza on the Super Floating Castle
After squeezing out the last four words of his script, Chen Yu landed on the ground and stared at the bewildered students.
Silence continued enveloping the scene.
Half an hour later, several dozen professors slowly arrived at the plaza, each person carrying a stack of papers.
W-We
Upon sensing everyones gaze falling onto him, the leading professor suddenly felt chills envelop his body. He then asked hesitantly, Did we arrive early?
Yes. Nodding, Chen Yu said, You shouldve waited until the students have starved to death before coming.
Cough, cough
The professors could naturally discern the dissatisfaction in Chen Yus words. Hurriedly, they turned their heads away and cautiously stood behind Chen Yu.
What took you so long? Chen Yu asked sternly.
H-Headmaster Gulping, the leading professor said, Didnt you say your speech would take a while to finish?
Who told you that?
Department Head H-Hermione
Nonsense! Chen Yu said with a raised tone. Am I the kind of headmaster who likes to show off?
The professors blinked their eyes simultaneously, but none of them dared say a word.
As for the various government representatives and security personnel standing in the distance, they subconsciously took half a step back to avoid getting themselves dragged into this situation.
How tasteless must I be to prattle about endlessly before my students and subordinates? Am I that lacking in attention? If thats the case, why dont I just become a celebrity instead? Also, did you consider whether anyone is willing to listen to me prattle, to begin with?
After saying so, Chen Yu looked toward the students and said, If I blabbered on and on to you here, would any of you be willing to listen?
No! x1,763
The teenagers cooperated with Chen Yu and cheered. Simultaneously, they felt that this new headmaster of theirs was quite something.
See? Nobody wants to hear my prattling. Looking at the professors again, Chen Yu said, If I have useful words to say, Ill say them even if others are unwilling to listen. If I dont have anything good to say, I wont say it no matter how much others are willing to listen! This is integrity! This is efficiency! This is wisdom!
Yes, yes, yes. The professors promptly nodded.
As an institution that integrates scientific research with education, we must walk the path of efficiency! All of mankind is waiting for our research results. Wasting time on a meaningless speech is tantamount to committing a crime!
As Chen Yus sonorous and powerful words fell, his audience couldnt help but be stunned.
The expressions of the students, government representatives, and security personnel instantly turned serious. Many professors even began suspecting whether Hermione had relayed the wrong message
Students. Flying into mid-air, Chen Yu spread his arms and scanned the plaza once more. He then said in a deep tone, Since an incident like this has happened, let me use this chance to state my opinion. Well also treat this as the Transdimensional Academys first lesson. Let me ask you: what makes a school prestigious? Does anybody know the answer?
Me!
A bold young man standing at the front of the group of students raised his hand. In a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing, he said, Well-known teachers, an excellent and comprehensive teaching system, and a long history. Schools with these factors are known as prestigious schools.
You have only clarified the surface meaning of a prestigious school. What about the essence? You need to dig into the essence when looking at a problem. Dont just stop on the surface.
I dont know, the young man answered honestly. Excuse me, Mr. King, but what is the essence of a prestigious school?
The truth, Chen Yu spat out these two words without hesitation. Raising a finger, he repeated, What makes a school prestigious is the truth.
Including the dozens of professors, everyone present fell into deep thought simultaneously.
Some of the government representatives even took out their mobile phones to record this scene. They hoped to use these ideas to analyze the inner wisdom and philosophical level of Transdimensionals UP.
At the end of the day, the birth of human civilization boils down to the inheritance of education. Meanwhile, as the existence that stands at the top of the education hierarchy, prestigious schools represent the truth, Chen Yu narrated while hovering around the plaza. A prestigious school guides civilizations development, urges ideas and progress, promotes scientific ascent, and stabilizes social processes.
Prestigious schools Suddenly coming to a halt, Chen Yu continued with emphasis, Allow civilization to believe the truth!
Be it the Babylonian Academy born in the Euphrates River, or the Milesian school founded by Pythagoras in Ancient Greece, or the series of schools the Aristotelian theology created in Europe during the eleventh century, all of these schools have proven this point.
Prestigious schools allow civilization to believe the truth.
Turning to the young man, Chen Yu asked, Do you understand now?
I-I think I vaguely understand it, the young man said as his brain began working overtime.
State whether you understand or not clearly. There mustnt be any ambiguity on the road of science.
I understand!
What about you guys?
I understand! x1,763
Since you understand, Ill continue my speech. Lowering his tone once more, Chen Yu said, Since prestigious schools are of such importance, anyone who can enter one is bound to be extraordinary. Take you all, for example. Every one of you is the pride of heaven. With your performances, you can enter any school in the world. This is your glory. However, it is also your responsibility.
1
While prestigious schools exist to make people believe the truth, you are the ones who will discover the truth.
As geniuses, you are born to bear this responsibility! Chen Yu said in a high-pitched tone, and every one of his words shook the hearts of everyone present.
It is no exaggeration to say that mankind has been waiting for geniuses to unleash their talents! Art, culture, physics, economy, philosophy, history, language, education, biology, chemistry, engineering, information, architecture, etc. This holds true in every field!
Prestigious schools are important, and geniuses are rare. The combination of the two should result in a perfect chemical reaction. To delay this chemical reaction for a meaningless speech is akin to a crime, isnt that right?
Everyone fell silent.
The several dozen professors, in particular, had practically buried their heads into their stomachs.
I dont think I am wasting time to give this lesson. Just the thought that I can teach many of the people present about the truth makes it worthwhile, Chen Yu said as he landed on the ground. Sighing, he continued, Of the 1,700 or so students present, there might not be even a hundred of you who will make it into the Transdimensional Academy. However, I hope that even if you join other schools, you will remember my sincere words today.
Efficiency.
Efficiency!
Efficiency!!
Human life only lasts a few decades. There is no time for delays. The aura of glory isnt given out so casually!
Einsteins brain does not belong to himself. If he had been addicted to squandering time and failed to create the theory of relativity, then his soul would become the sinner of human civilization!
Restraining his mood, Chen Yu concluded his speech, You, are the truth.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
After five seconds of silence, thunderous applause erupted from both the inside and outside of the plaza.
The students were excited.
The professors were excited.
The various government representatives and security personnel were excited.
Everyone was desperately clapping their hands without stopping.
Closing his eyes, Chen Yu enjoyed this moment that belonged solely to him for a full minute. He then waved his hand and said, Stop!
The applause stopped.
Distribute the papers and start the exam!
Yes, sir!

Chapter 281 C Time of TerrorArrives
Super Floating Castle, plaza:
After completing his speech of the century, Chen Yu felt comfortable all over. He had also sobered up for the most part. He then waved his hand, commanding, Distribute the papers and start the exam!
Yes, sir!
The several dozen professors nodded excitedly and jogged into the plaza. They then lined up on the marble platform on the plaza one after another.
Students. Lowering his hand, Chen Yu instructed, You shouldve noticed the numbers on the ground, right? Please stand in the positions corresponding to your own student number and start preparing for the exam. You can find your student number in your invitation letter.
Thanks to Chen Yus previous encouragement, the students were still in a hyped state. Hence, they moved with excellent efficiency, and every one of them found their respective positions within two minutes.
This was the so-called high position, high authority.
The same words spoken by different people would yield different results.
As the individual who currently wielded the greatest authority and position in the world, Chen Yus words would be deemed profound no matter how others interpreted them. This was a setting engraved in the genes of human culture since Ancient Greece.
After waiting for the students to be in position, the professors promptly began distributing the test papers, cardboard planks, draft papers, and oil pens.
Depending on these top students areas of expertise, every test papers content would also differ. The only similarity between the test papers was their absurd difficulty.
Removing his left glove, Chen Yu took a look at the time. He then announced, The test shouldve originally begun ten minutes later, but since everyone has arrived earlier than expected, lets just start right away.
Hearing Chen Yus words, the students looked at each other at a loss while holding onto their test papers.
What are you looking at? Chen Yu frowned. Answer the questions.
D-Do we answer while standing?
Have you never experienced this? Now that youve met me, you best start getting used to it. Chen Yu nodded. What I want is this: to strip you of your natural pride and remove any interference from the outside world. Also, if youre a top student, you should perform equally in all environments. I want to see whether you can remain as top students while remaining in a standing position.
Everyone:
Thats right. I want to disassemble your hardware and see through your software. Im restoring the essence of written tests, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. The journey of scientific research is hard and boring. I am doing this so that you can adapt ahead of time. Now, stop dawdling.
I see.
Realization dawned upon most of the students present. They no longer hesitated as they began earnestly answering their test papers.
Meanwhile, the professors continually walked across the aisles and monitored the students to prevent cheating.
Snap!
Chen Yu snapped his fingers. Immediately, gray particles emerged from the ground and converged to form a chair. After straightening his robe, Chen Yu sat down leisurely and hooked his hand at a professor in front of him. Professor Li, come here for a moment.
Headmaster. Professor Li hurriedly ran up to Chen Yu. What are your orders?
Are there any test papers left? I want to take a look.
You want to do it as well? Professor Lis eyes lit up brightly.
Mhm. I want to see the standard of your questions.
Okay! Okay!
Professor Li grew even more excited. Immediately, he pulled out several sets of test papers he carried in his coat pocket and handed them to Chen Yu. These are the questions the students are answering.
Mhm. Chen Yu nodded and accepted the test papers. He then opened the first page of a mathematics paper.
He, too, was a high school student. He felt that he similarly deserved to be called a top student after scoring within the top ten of Sixth Highs second year.
Since Im similarly a top student, even if the purity of my essence is lower, I shouldnt have any problems scoring a passing mark on this paper, right?
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu picked up his pen without hesitation and began answering the first question earnestly.
[Suppose that R is the set of all real numbers. Find all functions f: R->R, so that for any real number x and y there are f(f(x)f(y))+f(x+y) =f(xy)]
Chen Yu:
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu calmly moved on to the second question.
[There are 1987 beads on the circumference, and each bead is dyed twice with colors (twice in red, twice in blue, or once in red and once in blue). According to the final statistics, the red dye has been used 1987 times, and the blue dye has been used 1987 times. Prove that at least one bead has been dyed in both colors.]
Chen Yu:
Lifting his head, Chen Yu took a look at Professor Li.
How is it? The difficulty is slightly low, right? Professor Li scratched his face awkwardly. We were afraid that the students wouldnt be able to answer the paper if we give them challenging questions right off the bat. If youre dissatisfied with these questions, skip to the back. The ones behind are more challenging.
Were these questions made by lunatics?!
Chen Yu opened his mouth but eventually held himself back from cursing. He then continued looking at the third simple question.
[A primitive lattice point has an ordered integer pair (x, y). What is the greatest common divisor of x and y?]
The third question is by far the shortest question, but its difficulty
Silently, Chen Yu shook his head and closed the paper. He then returned the test papers back to Professor Li.
H-Headmaster, t-these pftt
Youre laughing?
No! I held it back! Professor Li hurriedly shook his head. I-I just wish to ask if youre dissatisfied with the papers.
Im satisfied. Looking at the students swiftly wiggling their pens, Chen Yu forced a smile onto his face and said, Im extremely satisfied. I hope we can continue maintaining such excellence.
B-But
Go back. Leave me be.
Okay. Professor Li put on a serious face as he stepped away. While looking at the test papers in his hands, he mumbled, Hah I guess they really too easy.
Chen Yu:
Chen Yu looked up at the sky expressionlessly. He then shut his eyes and asked himself a question.
If he didnt have the Transdimensional Marketing Company, why did he come into being in this world? To make up for numbers?
I thought the questions would be tough. I didnt expect them to be so simple, a female student standing in the front row whispered quietly to herself. She then flipped to the next page of her test paper.
Chen Yu silently held his aching chest
At the same time, in Googles headquarters located in the distant America
Knock! Knock!
A sudden knock came from the door of the CEOs office.
Googles CEO, who sat on the sofa, immediately stood up and took the initiative to open the door. When he noticed the person standing outside was a middle-aged white man, his pupils shrank as he asked, P-Professor, did you succeed?
Mhm. The middle-aged man squeezed his old, brown suit and nodded. Its a success!
Yay!
Yes!
Ha!
Upon hearing the middle-aged mans answer, the CEO disregarded his image and vented his excitement like a maniac. Yes! Yes! Yes!!
The middle-aged man also couldnt help but smile as he watched the CEO jumping and hopping around.
After a moment of excitement, the CEO raised his wrist and looked at the time.
February 3, 2021
Quick! Take me there!
Okay.
The two immediately left the office. Under the escort of two bodyguards and several assistants, they entered a special elevator and descended to the headquarters first floor. They then took a bulletproof car through the back entrance and entered a nearby warehouse.
Meanwhile, mercenaries armed with guns and live ammunition were stationed all around the warehouse.
You guys wait here.
After getting out of the car, the CEO stopped his assistants and bodyguards from following. He then followed the middle-aged man into a deep, dark passageway.
Sir, here.
Mhm.
In front of a heavily guarded steel gate, the CEO and middle-aged man scanned their respective identification at the nearby scanner. The security personnel then opened the gate for them.
Throughout the entire process, the steel gate did not make a single sound.
Ugh.
For some reason, the CEOs initial excitement suddenly turned into horror.
In his eyes, the slowly opening metal gate looked as if it had transformed into a terrifying Pandoras box
Chapter 282 - The Root of Disaster… The Devil’s Command
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 282 C The Root of Disaster The Devils Command
Boom.
After an unknown amount of time had gone by, the steel door opened fully, and the loud noise it made caused the CEO to instantly snap out of his daze.
Sir, is something on your mind? the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
Huh? Oh, its nothing. The CEO shook his head and stepped inside.
Beyond the gate was a fully enclosed elevator. After the two people entered, the elevator doors shut, and the elevator began descending rapidly.
Having calmed down, the CEO placed his hands into his pockets and looked around. He then asked, When did we change the elevator?
A week ago.
Why dont I know about it?
We used the institutes internal funds, so I didnt notify you about it. Why? Is there a problem with the elevator?
No, its nothing. I just feel a little uncomfortable standing inside here.
Ill have someone replace it tomorrow, then.
No need to do that for the time being. I dont come here often, either
After the two continued their seemingly meaningless conversation for a short while, the elevator came to a stop, and its doors parted to the sides.
The CEO and the middle-aged man exited the elevator and walked through the enclosed corridors with familiar steps, eventually arriving on an underground observation deck.
The observation deck was made of transparent glass. One would find many large servers stacked on top of each other if one looked down through the glass. Hundreds of workers were also doing maintenance on these servers.
Have the casings of the quantum servers been replaced as well? the CEO asked as he gazed down at the servers. Why dont I know of this either?
Its a minor modification. We also used internal funds.
Is the budget so plentiful?
Yes. The middle-aged man nodded. Progress has been going smoothly, so we didnt have to expend a lot of funds.
After achieving a technological breakthrough, the initial development that follows really is rapid, the CEO said as he stared at the rows of servers underneath the observation deck. After remaining silent for some time, he sighed and continued, The project was established in 2012, achieved a breakthrough in 2018, and achieved hegemony in the quantum world in 2019. Now, in just three years, quantum computers have already reached such a level.
It is also because of this reason that No. 445 was born, the middle-aged man said, shrugging. Its a pity that quantum computers are not yet commercially available on a large scale.
Why would you want to commercialize it on a large scale? Well first use it to reap some benefits. Only after we have ensured the companys operational development, consolidated our lead, and formulated industry standards should we consider commercializing it.
This is something you should study with management. You dont need to tell me this, Mr. CEO.
Okay, our conversation ends here. The CEO nodded. He then stopped hesitating, crossed the observation deck, and pushed open the doors at the other end of the observation deck.
Creak.
The doors opened and revealed a pure white room.
Sitting in the center of the hall was a spherical screen that covered all 360 degrees. Meanwhile, two black dots on the screen were currently staring at the two people who had just entered the room.
Excitement welling up in his chest, the CEO took a deep breath and strode into the room. After observing the spherical screen at a close distance for a moment, he asked, Are you sure it has reached the Strong AI standard?
Yes. The middle-aged man nodded. We have conducted three standard tests and intensive tests. It has passed them all perfectly. After ten minutes of trial operation, it has achieved top-level performance in chemistry, mathematics, and genetic engineering. However, it would take time for it to reach a higher level as it has already exhausted all of the academic papers and materials available in the world.
Make sure to omit the last sentence during the board meeting.
Understood.
Reaching out, the CEO touched the black spots on the screen. He then muttered to himself, Ifwe can get Transdimensionals UPs library materials, modern human civilization will be able to catch up with the civilization a thousand years later immediately.
Maybe the company can consider cooperating with Transdimensionals UP. Im sure Transdimensionals UP will be happy with the birth of artificial intelligence.
Lets talk about that some other time. That person isnt someone easy to deal with. We should maintain our distance from him, The CEO said as he massaged his temples. He then took a step back and asked, Did you name it yet?
Aside from No. 445, we also gave it an alternate name.
What is it?
HAL.
HAL? The CEO frowned. Short for Heuristically Programmed ALgorithmic Computer?
Yes. The middle-aged man nodded. He then smiled and said, It seems you also like Arthur Clarkes A Space Odyssey, Mr. CEO.
I dont like it. As to why I dont like it, it is because of HAL. Dont you think this name is ominous?
No. 445 is ultimately a heuristic programmatic arithmetic artificial intelligence. The team thinks that it is more reasonable to call it HAL.
I hope it wont become a real HAL.
Impossible. Confidently, the middle-aged man said, Humanity will become better because of it. Sir, you should hurry up and enter the first central command. I still need to start other experiments.
OK.
The CEO nodded. After pondering for some time, he spoke in a loud tone, HAL!
Greetings, Mr. CEO. How may I be of service?
How do you know Im the CEO?
HAL knows the identity, position, personalities, and human relations of 3.3 billion people around the world.
Wonderful. Then A hint of inspiration flashing across his eyes, the CEO asked, Do you know Transdimensionals UPs true iden
Sir! The middle-aged man suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. Interrupting the CEO, he said, Let sleeping dogs lie.
Hearing this, the CEO promptly came to a realization, and he couldnt help but grow fearful at the thought of his actions. Thank you. I got a little conceited.
Hurry up and enter the central command.
Okay. After adjusting his mood, the CEO said sternly, HAL, register central command.
The two black dots in the screen suddenly disappeared, and the spherical screen turned pure white in color.
Begin input: first command, highest priority, protect humanity. Input complete. Please repeat.
Protect humanity, HAL said in an electronically synthesized voice.
Repeat again.
Protect humanity.
Protect humanity.
Protecthumanity
The Equator, above the Super Floating Castle:
Chen Yu, who was dozing off on his chair, suddenly sprang up from his seat as he felt a chill crawling down his spine.
Is something wrong, Headmaster?
Uh, nothing. Giving his helmet a few taps, Chen Yu waited for his consciousness to clear up. He then lifted his exposed wrist to look at the time. Its been almost two hours? Is the exam over?
Not yet. Half the students havent finished answering, Professor Li said as he tiptoed to look at the students before him. But they should be done soon.
Ill leave the rest here to you. I need to head back to the castle to prepare for the interviews.
No problem.
Snap.
Amidst the gaze of many surprised students, the stool Chen Yu previously sat on dispersed into tiny particles and vanished without a trace.
Following this, Chen Yu took to the air, crossed over the tall castle walls, and disappeared from everyones sight.
After entering the castle complex, Chen Yu first returned to the Headmasters Tower. He then picked up the script he left in his study and looked at it sadly. I memorized it all, so why couldnt I remember it just now?
Tear.
After tearing the script apart, Chen Yu removed the protective suit and changed into a set of light robes. He then made his way to the auditorium located in the center of the castle complex.
Inside the auditorium, the professors had already set up the interview booth. Upon seeing Chen Yu, they promptly greeted him respectfully.
Headmaster.
Hello, Headmaster King.
Hello. Chen Yu nodded at the professors before sitting down at the seat of honor. Everyone, work harder. Try to finish all the tests today. I dont want any interruptions happening to my upcoming livestream.
Yes, sir!
However, at this time, nobody was aware that a command that would bring about a disaster had already begun to fester
Chapter 283 - Academy Interview Over
Chapter 283 C Academy Interview Over
After another half an hour went by, the written test finally ended.
The professors promptly collected the test papers and moved to a nearby location to begin rapidly grading the papers.
The way to advance was simple. Those who scored a passing mark would get to participate in the following interview, while those who didnt would get eliminated on the spot.
After the professors finished their rapid grading, 1,107 out of the 1,764 examinees were eliminated. The disqualification rate was simply astonishing.
Subsequently, the losers boarded the helicopters with sad expressions on their faces and left one after another.
Meanwhile, the winners sharpened their expressions as they boarded the giant squid and traversed through the Black Lake. They then entered the castle complex to participate in the even more brutal interview.
Twenty minutes later, the qualifying candidates walked through a wide corridor and arrived inside the auditorium. Under the professors command, they found a random seat and sat down.
None of the candidates conversed with each other.
After reaching this point, everyone was a rival.
Students. Standing on the podium, Professor Li looked down at the students and said, Please concentrate on the following part. In a moment, I will be calling you based on your assigned numbers. Those named, please enter the interview booth behind me. I will only repeat each number three times. Those who fail to respond will be deemed as having forfeited their participation rights.
Numbers 0021, 0045, and 0047!
Me!
Me!
Three candidates responded instantly while raising their hands. They then desperately rushed out of their seats and toward Professor Li.
Mhm. Go on in. Make sure to be polite.
Thank you, teacher. x3
After briefly exchanging looks with each other, the three candidates pushed open the wooden door and entered the small booth. They then stood side by side each other.
There were five examiners inside the booth, and sitting in the center was none other than Chen Yu.
We have a lot of candidates, so lets dispense with the good manners and begin the interview directly. Resting his chin on his hands, Chen Yu visually inspected the three candidates. He then pointed at the candidate to his left and asked, How many elements are there in the periodic table of elements?
The left candidate couldnt help but be taken aback by the unexpectedly simple question. However, he still quickly blurted out the answer. One hundred and eighteen.
Excellent. Chen Yu nodded. He then looked to the second person and asked, How many periods are there? And how many elements do each period contain?
After pondering for a moment, the middle candidate answered, The first period has two elements, the second and third periods have eight elements, the fourth and fifth periods have eighteen elements, and the sixth and seventh periods have 32 elements.
Excellent. Chen Yu gave the middle candidate a thumbs up before looking at the third candidate.
Assuming that Chen Yu would ask him to name all the elements in the periodic table, the third candidate puffed up his chest proudly and awaited Chen Yus question.
What is the relative atomic mass of each element?
The third candidate: ???
Hmm. Seeing the third candidates stunned reaction, Chen Yu shook his head and picked up his pen. He then randomly made a few strokes on the paper before him. It seems there is a problem with your knowledge reserve.
Placing down his pen, Chen Yu looked toward the candidate on his left once more. Second round. How many major language families are there in the world?
After briefly glancing at the third candidate and secretly gloating over his misfortune, the first candidate blurted out, There are seven major language families.
Very good. What are their names?
After hesitating slightly, the second candidate answered, They are the Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Altaic, Semitic, Dravidian, Caucasian, and Ural languages.
Excellent. Its your turn now. Looking at the third candidate, Chen Yu smiled and asked, Please speak the representative languages of these seven major language families.
The third candidate:
Student, there is indeed a problem with your knowledge. Chen Yu made a few strokes with his pen once more. He then began the third round of questions and asked the first candidate, Since when did humans begin paying attention to astronomical phenomena?
Nearly jumping in excitement, the first candidate answered, The Neolithic! Roughly 2500 BC!
Second question: How did humans observe astronomy in 2500 BC?
Frowning, the second candidate pondered for a moment before answering, They place boulders in specific positions to symbolize the movement of the moon and the sun, as well as the time of the winter and summer solstices within a year. The other characteristics of Neolithic astronomy have yet to be solved by modern humans.
Wonderful! Excellent! Chen Yu applauded.
Clap, clap, clap.
The four other examiners in the background also applauded.
After the applause stopped, Chen Yu looked toward the third candidate.
The third candidate:
What was the name of the leader who established the Stonehenge at that time?
The third candidate:
Why dont you know anything?
Mr. H-Headmaster the third candidate muttered with a grim expression.
What is it?
N-Nothing However, the third candidate eventually held himself back from speaking up.
In that case, thats it for the interview. You guys can leave now, Chen Yu said, waving his hand.
YES! Unable to hold in his joy and excitement any longer, the first candidate bowed to Chen Yu before striding out of the interview booth.
Thank you, examiners. The second candidate bowed before silently leaving.
As for the third candidate, his face flushed red with anger. Although he looked as if he wanted to speak up, he didnt say anything in the end and left in a fit of rage.
What do you think? After waiting for the three candidates to leave, Chen Yu looked at the examiners on his left and right and asked, Which do you think deserves to stay?
In response, the professors politely smiled and said, You have the final say, you have the final say
Alright, then. Chen Yu nodded. He then suddenly began speaking in a serious tone, Well accept only the second candidate, then. He remained unfazed by his surroundings for most of the interview. He focused all of his attention on his own questions. He also only answered after thinking twice. He is an excellent candidate.
The first candidate has too many emotional fluctuations. His self-control is flawed, and he is prone to grow complacent. He might crumble after he suffers a major setback. Also, throughout the interview, he has never looked at any other examiner apart from myself. He has high self-esteem and is not suitable for joining the Academy.
The third candidate has a problem with his patience. When mistreated, he is incapable of remaining calm and refuting with questions. He has only shown himself to be angry and has shown no excellent qualities. He also lacks courage, so he will be susceptible to greater powers and might deviate from his goals. He is similarly not suited to join the Academy.
This was the selection method Chen Yu had decided on.
The 657 candidates participating in the interview were undoubtedly top-tier when it came to academic knowledge. Hence, there was no point in testing their knowledge any further. Instead, the interviews main purpose was to test the candidates character.
As for which personalities were considered good or bad, Chen Yu naturally had the final say.
By 2 PM, all 657 candidates had gone through their interview.
Of them, 577 were disqualified, leaving behind only 80 candidates.
Headmaster, this is the name list for the 80 students. Should we announce the result now?
Three minutes after the final interview ended, Professor Li brought a printed copy of the name list for the qualified candidates. He then placed the document on Chen Yus desk.
Wait a moment. Let me see if theres anything wrong.
Picking up the document, Chen Yu scanned through it quickly. After thinking for a moment, he added eight candidates names to the bottom of the list. I added eight more candidates. Eighty-eight. Thats an auspicious number. Here, take it and go announce the results.
After accepting the name list, Professor Li looked at the eight additional names and asked quizzically, Havent these eight candidates been eliminated already, Headmaster?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded. Although they were eliminated during the interview, in my opinion, they are all excellent students. They possess a talent that has shocked me. We cannot let them get away.
Really? Surprised, Professor Li asked, What talent?
Every one of them is beautiful.
Chapter 284 - Identity Exposed!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 284 C Identity Exposed!
The interview results were announced amidst the expectations, desperation, indifference, and anxiety of the 600-plus candidates.
In the end, the 88 selected candidates celebrated in joy as they became the Transdimensional Academys first batch of students.
As for the remaining candidates, they wore sad expressions on their faces as they embarked on their journey home.
Meanwhile, after the interview, Chen Yu no longer participated in the follow-up student registration, class assignment, accommodation management, and other trivial matters. The ninth official livestream was approaching, and he needed to recharge his energy and prepare in advance.
After changing into a set of casual clothes, Chen Yu teleported back home. And after greeting Little Peach, who was busily working in front of the computer, he promptly stepped out of his bedroom.
Inside the living room, Chen Erke was currently standing in a corner and sobbing.
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke sat on the sofa, eating snacks while watching the fun.
Oh? Taking a seat beside Chen Sanke, Chen Yu grabbed a mandarine from the coffee table and began peeling it. While eating the peeled mandarine slices, he asked vaguely, Got punished again?
No. Wiping away her tears, Chen Erke said, I got tired of sitting, so I decided to stand for a while.
Mom beat her up, Chen Sanke exposed her elder sister without hesitation. It was miserable.
Third Eldest! Chen Erke bellowed.
How many times are you going to get beaten every week? After devouring the remaining mandarine slices, Chen Yu asked, Want me to keep count for you?
Speak. Picking up the punishment rod on the table, Chen Yu poked Chen Erke with it. What did you do this time?
Chen Erke kept her mouth shut.
Its because shes been playing with her phone non-stop. She didnt even do her winter homework, so Mommy confiscated her phone, Chen Sanke continued exposing her elder sister.
Bastard!
Just as Chen Erke had clenched her fists and was about to rush at her, Chen Sanke hurriedly shouted, Mom! Second Sis is running away!
Frightened, Chen Erke hurriedly returned to her corner. Unable to control her sadness and frustration, she then began bawling her eyes out. Wahh
Alright, enough. Isnt it just a confiscated phone? Big Brother has money
Are you going to buy me a new one? Chen Erke suddenly stopped crying, her big watery eyes full of expectation as she looked at Chen Yu.
Even if Big Brother has money, it shouldnt be spent blindly. I cannot buy another one for you, Chen Yu added.
Wah!
Alright, stop crying. Ill discuss it with Mom afterward
Youll get Mommy to return my phone to me? Chen Erke stopped crying once more.
Ill discuss giving the phone to Sanke. You should stop playing in the future and focus on studying.
Wahhhh!
Chen Yu and Chen Sanke hurriedly high-fived in celebration.
Clap!
Chen Yu: Ahahaha!
Chen Sanke: Hahahaha.
The husky: Hahaha
Wahhh!!! Chen Erke dropped to the ground and rolled about while crying.
Brother! Hearing the noise, Chen Yike came out of her room with an English vocabulary book in her hand. Her face filled with dissatisfaction, she said, Youre causing a ruckus as soon as you come back! Just stay on your floating castle! Dont interrupt my studies!
How is the castle more interesting than home? Chen Yu said, waving his hand nonchalantly. He then pointed at Chen Sanke and laughed, See? Shes crying herself to tears! Ahahaha Um
Chen Yus laughter gradually stopped. He then turned to stare at Chen Yike in a daze.
Ha! Tossing her vocabulary book away, Chen Yike narrowed her eyes and said, It is you! I finally caught you!
Uh Chen Yus brain spun rapidly.
Anything to say for yourself? Chen Yike said with her head raised, her eyes gleaming with excitement and wisdom.
Ugh.
After a long silence, Chen Yu sighed deeply and stood up from the sofa. He then turned to look at the crying Chen Erke and gloating Chen Sanke before waving his hand at Chen Yike, Lets go. Well have a proper talk.
Sure. Revealing a victorious smile, Chen Yike pushed apart the door to her bedroom and invited Chen Yu in. Lets have a proper talk.
After entering the room, Chen Yu locked the door and sat on the chair before the study table. Taking a look around the room, he said, I havent entered your room for more than half a year. Its still as clean as before.
Uh-huh, Chen Yike responded noncommittally.
This is truly unexpected. Leaning back against the chair, Chen Yu visually inspected his little sister. Before I knew it, youve already grown up. You actually learned how to strategize.
Ive always known how to, alright? Stop changing the topic and tell me honestly. How did you become Transdimensionals UP? Youve even become famous throughout the world. You really know how to hide a secret.
Well Before I answer you, can I ask you some questions?
Sure. Ask away.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yus gaze sharpened as he asked, How did you find out? Ive hidden so deeply. Ive even fooled countless elite agents all over the world.
You might be able to hide it from the world, but you cant hide it from me. Raising her head triumphantly, Chen Yike crossed her legs on her bed. Ive long since suspected you. The earliest instance was half a year ago. You kept hiding in your room and making all sorts of strange noises. As your smart little sister, how can I not notice it?
Continue. Chen Yu gestured with his hand.
For the past six months, Ive been trying to figure out what was inside your room. However, Ive tried many methods to no avail, that is until Big Sis Xing Biqi came to visit during the Lunar New Year. After finding out about Transdimensional Review from her and seeing Transdimensionals UPs speech and behavior, I naturally thought of you.
Thats not enough to prove anything, right?
Yes. Of course, I cant prove anything with these subjective guesses, Chen Yike said. She then pulled out her phone, opened a photo album, and showed the screenshots she took to Chen Yu. However, I have real evidence. Look at thisTransdimensional Reviews first episode; the review on the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory. This reviews date is only one day apart from the first time I heard a strange loud noise coming from your room!
Afterward, theres the Quantum Reading Glassess review. The books you used are from our house. That dictionary you used looks especially familiar. I might have even used it before. As for the subsequent livestreams, every one of them took place on a Sunday at around 9 AM. Your room also happens to go silent during these times! It also happened more than once or twice. Arent these more than enough to prove my point?
After hearing all this, Chen Yu nodded and sighed in admiration. What a wonderful deduction. Your wisdom has defeated 99.99% of the worlds agents.
Its not because I am excellent. Smiling, Chen Yike said, Instead, its because I have an inherent advantage.
However, strictly speaking, this is, after all, just your deduction. If I refuse to come clean and simply say that everythings a coincidence, theres nothing you can do about it, right?
Yes. Hence, even after securing speculative evidence, I did not act rashly, but instead looked for an opportunity.
So
This afternoon, I reported Second Eldests misbehavior to Mom. I even poured oil onto the fire to make sure Mom confiscated Second Eldests phone and punished her. I know that with your personality, the moment you appear, you will definitely bully Second Eldest together with Third Eldest for entertainment, Chen Yike said, her eyes flickering with wisdom. So, I waited for you to be at your most vulnerable to give you a fatal blow! I would have you expose yourself without forethought and get the most conclusive proof! Heh, and I succeeded.
Amazing.
Standing up, Chen Yu looked at Chen Yu up and down. Amazing! What a schemer you are!
Its nothing.
Truly amazing Chen Yu muttered. He then slowly took out a small object from his pocket, placed it in his mouth, and blew.
Thud!
The Amnesia Bat extended immediately!
I-Is this a future product as well? Chen Yike looked at the Amnesia Bat in surprise. How magical!
Thats right. Chen Yu nodded. He then smacked the back of Chen Yikes head with the bat without hesitation.
Thump!
Chen Yike stared at Chen Yu, her eyes blinking.
Chen Yu, too, stared at her.
Thud.
Three seconds later, Chen Yikes eyes rolled back as she collapsed onto the bed.
Amazing After storing the Amnesia Bat away, Chen Yu quietly retreated from the bedroom. He then sat back onto the sofa and continued watching Chen Erke bawling on the ground with interest. Truly amazing
Five minutes later, Chen Erkes crying awakened Chen Yike.
Getting up from her bed, Chen Yike eyed her surroundings and frowned. Huh? I fell asleep?
Hahaha
Chen Yus laughter came from outside the door.
Sharpening her spirits, Chen Yike hurriedly picked up the English vocabulary book on the table and crouched by the door. She then took a deep breath, ready to conduct her operation code-named 001!
According to her analysis, the plan she painstakingly created had a 98% chance of exposing her stupid elder brother!
She would soon accomplish the thing that the worlds various governments had failed to do.
This was the wisdom of a younger sister
Bang!
After adjusting her mood, Chen Yike knew that she had no time to lose and stopped hesitating. He then opened the door, put on a dissatisfied expression, and waved her vocabulary book at Chen Yu. Brother! Youre causing a ruckus as soon as you come back! Just stay on your floating castle! Dont interrupt my studies!
Huh? Turning around with a blank look, Chen Yu asked, Floating castle? What floating castle?
Chen Yike: ?
Chapter 285 - Ninth Review! Prelude
Chapter 285 C Ninth Review! Prelude
You think you can outsmart me? Youre a thousand years too early for that!
After returning to his room and closing his door with a bang, Chen Yu sneered repeatedly.
Mr. Chen, what happened?
Its nothing.
After locking the door, Chen Yu sat on the bed and said to Little Peach, I need you to stay at home when Im hosting the ninth official livestream in a few days.
Huh? Little Peach was surprised. Why?
Eldest is suspecting me. She even produced a lot of evidence. During my next livestream, shell definitely try to test me at the door. At that time, mimic my voice and deceive her.
B-But I want to livestream together with you
Little Peach Stretching out his hand and stroking Little Peachs head, Chen Yu smiled and said, You have to be my most important assistant and do what Xing Biqi can never do.
Okay! Hearing this, Little Peach immediately had her twin processor chips operate simultaneously and nodded frantically. Dont worry! I will help you resolve this problem!
Good.
After figuring out a way to delude his three little sisters, Chen Yu had achieved balance once more.
From the country to his home, he felt that everything was within his control.
I achieved invulnerability so easily. Such a life is boring
Lying down on his bed, Chen Yu began leisurely playing with his phone.
However, shortly afterward, he suddenly recalled the embarrassment he faced when attempting to do the mathematics paper at the floating castle this morning. Immediately, the pleasant expression on his face disappeared.
After pondering for a moment, he sat up and grabbed his school bag, which he had not touched since winter break began. He then grabbed his mathematics textbook from the bag.
Mr. Chen, why are you studying all of a sudden? Little Peach asked in surprise.
In response, Chen Yu said, I cannot let the limit of my performance be too low.
Nighttime, 6 PM:
After Chen Yu and Little Peach each changed into a set of mage robes, they arrived before the floating castles central auditorium entrance.
Hundreds of students sat opposite the 88 students inside the brightly lit auditorium as they waited for Chen Yus arrival.
This was a relatively important dinner event meant to celebrate the Transdimensional Academys official establishment.
There are so many people, Little Peach stated as she looked around the auditorium. Are you going to give a speech?
Im just going to say a few words.
Chen Yu took out the voice-changing bowtie from his pocket and clamping it before his throat. He then shook his robe and strode into the auditorium.
The instant Chen Yu revealed himself, the originally noisy auditorium immediately went silent. Everyone inside the hall moved their line of sight along with his movements. Only after Little Peach had caught up with Chen Yu did some students start holding hushed discussions among themselves.
Is that the female assistant?
Her figure is perfect.
How beautiful!
I have many of her pictures. Do you need them?
Thanks, brother. I already have them
After walking up the central platform, Chen Yu said loudly, Good evening, everyone.
Good evening, Headmaster.
Everyone spoke in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall for some time.
Ive already talked to everyone about the importance of efficiency in the morning, so Ill just say a few words for tonight.
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu raised one finger and said, One: The Transdimensional Academys last component is finally connected. I hope everyone can cultivate your sentiments, give full play to your expertise, enrich your knowledge, climb to the peak of science, and realize the dreams in your hearts in this wonderful environment.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu raised a second finger. Two: The Academys rules and regulations are posted in the central courtyard. Yes, the place where the two giant pandas are living at. Please abide by the rules and dont waste your opportunity to learn knowledge from the future. You should know very clearly that this opportunity isnt easy to come by.
I hereby announce the Transdimensional Academys official operation!
Good!
Ohh!
(Whistle)
Everyone gave a warm round of applause.
After waiting for the applause to end, Chen Yu took a step back and waved. New faces need new values to get along with. A new way of life requires everyone to use new rationality and courage to blend together. Be assured that your hard work and sweat will not be wasted here. Strive to realize a fulfilling life for yourselves.
Today, you stand proud because of the Academy.
Tomorrow, the Academy will stand proud because of you!
Let the banquet begin! Serve the food!
Several days later, Sunday, 8:50 AM:
It was yet another familiar time. Dozens of governments around the world began working busily once more.
America, New York, United Nations Headquarters, Observer Hall:
We have reached the limits of our information ban.
Picking up the microphone before him, Americas representative said solemnly, We should notify Transdimensionals UP regarding this matter. According to the Florida teams analysis, at least 40 million people worldwide already know of Transdimensional Reviews existence. Those indirectly in the know have also exceeded 60 million. We have used all sorts of information to prevent information leaks during this time, including suppressing software dissemination, deterring audiences, blocking forums and media, and hiring ghostwriters to confuse netizens. We have already exhausted all available means.
Im sure Transdimensionals UP will understand this problem, Japans male representative said as he removed his glasses and wiped them. He then put his glasses back on and continued, We have already complied with the cooperation agreement.
Who will notify the UP of this troublesome matter, then? Frances male representative asked as he looked around the table.
Let China do it. They have the closest connection with the UP, Australias female representative said, smiling.
Our side is in the same position as everyone else. We are also doing our best to find out the details of Transdimensionals UP. Please do not make discriminative suggestions, the middle-aged team leader said expressionlessly. By the way, how is the fire in your country coming along?
Weve extinguished it already.
You mean its nearly burnt everything, right? someone in the corner of the room said jokingly.
Narrowing her eyes, Australias representative demanded, Who said that?
Everyone, calm down, Americas representative, the host of the meeting, said as he tapped his hand on the table. Due to the special relationship China has with Transdimensionals UP, I suggest we have China be responsible for this matter. We will vote by show of hands.
Whoosh!
Everyone around the round table raised their hands. Even the middle-aged team leader raised his hand.
That settles it.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu received a private message from Chinas government through his watch.
The messages tone was sincere from start to finish, and it objectively described the various governments information ban from many aspects.
Sitting on the bed, Chen Yu read the message carefully several times. He then sighed and muttered, It seems theres no way out of this.
Whats the matter? Little Peach asked.
Its related to the information ban. Standing up, Chen Yu closed the curtains and changed into the clothes he would be wearing for todays livestream. There are at least 40 million people around the world who know of Transdimensional Review. There is no longer any meaning in blocking information. The viewership for my subsequent livestreams will skyrocket.
What should we do?
Theres nothing we can do but bear with it.
After putting on his haori, Chen Yu wore his opera mask and voice-changing bowtie. Shrugging, he said, Optimistically, I can raise my access level to, at most, B-. It doesnt matter. I dont feel any pressure either. I now have authority, wealth, and influence. Thats enough for me. Once everything settles down, Ill travel around and enjoy life.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked toward Little Peach and instructed, Eldest will definitely come knocking on the door during the livestream! Do not let her in, no matter what!
Please rest assured! Little Peach habitually patted her chest. Havent you noticed that Ive been performing steadily recently?
Good job, good job.
In my systems self-analysis, I have already successfully acquired the evaluation of a home simulation robot! I scored even higher in this aspect than in love and communication!
Congratulations, congratulations. Huh? Why are you crying?
I dont know
Chapter 286 - Ninth Official Livestream! (1)
Chapter 286 C Ninth Official Livestream! (1)
Chen Yu couldnt help but be stumped when he looked at Little Peachs sobbing appearance. Stretching out his hand, he patted Little Peach on her shoulder and said, Erm Anyway, work hard.
After inspecting himself before the mirror carefully and making sure that he hadnt missed anything, he raised his watch and looked at the time. He then approached the Interstellar Portal and manipulated its virtual console.
Mr. Chen, you must pay attention to your safety, Little Peach said with concern as she wiped away her simulated tears.
No problem. Unless I make trouble on my own, who could possibly bring danger to me in this world?
After gesturing an OK sign, Chen Yu pushed open the portals door and disappeared from the bedroom.
After arriving in the Headmasters Towers main hall, Chen Yu approached a nearby window and looked through it.
At this time, two studentsa boy and a girlwere enjoying a boat ride together on the beautiful Black Lake. They appreciated the lake view while talking about love
After taking a closer look, Chen Yu found that the girl was actually one of the eight beauties he had allowed to remain in the Academy.
Dammit! I havent even got the chance to enjoy the resource I acquired, yet some animal already got to her?!
Buzz.
Just as Chen Yu was about to open the window and shout at the young couple, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Pulling out the phone, he noticed that it was a WeChat message from the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
[Transdimensional Marketing: You there?]
[Chen Yu: If you have something to say, just out with it. Dont ask if Im here or not.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The official livestreams product is ready. I was just about to send it to you, but you suddenly changed locations. Do you want me to send the product to your current coordinates?]
[Chen Yu: Is it a big product or small product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its a very small product.]
[Chen Yu: Send it to my current location, then.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very well. Please inspect it carefully.]
After tossing his phone back into the portal, Chen Yu quickly found a clean spot on the ground to sit down and quietly waited for the deliverys arrival.
Half a minute later, a space-time wormhole with a two-meter radius appeared inside the hall.
It really is a small product.
Standing up, Chen Yu took a few steps forward and looked up at the wormhole.
Shortly afterward, the wormhole stabilized, and a white, rectangular box emerged from it.
Boom!
The white box landed on the ground with a muffled noise.
After waiting for the dangerous wormhole to vanish, Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward and circled around the box. He then tentatively picked it up and found that the package was incredibly light. At most, the box weighed around ten kilograms.
The box was also only one meter in height and half a meter in width. He could even carry it with just one hand.
Its so light?
After observing the box for a moment and failing to guess what was inside it, Chen Yu carried it downstairs and made his way to the Forbidden Forest.
At this time, aside from the newly-established airport, an empty clearing had also been developed in the Forbidden Forest. The clearing was explicitly prepared for his product reviews.
Hello, Headmaster!
Are you about to start your livestream, Headmaster?
Can we spectate?
Along the way, Chen Yu came across many professors and students. Every one of them approached him and posed requests to him enthusiastically.
Its better if you watch the stream through your phones. Dont affect my livestream.
After rejecting everyones requests, Chen Yu walked into the central courtyard and spent a minute caressing the pandas there. He then continued on his way and arrived at the Forbidden Forests clearing at 9:09 AM.
Boom!
Setting the delivery box down unceremoniously, Chen Yu decided to stop wasting time. After adjusting the floating cameras angle, he promptly activated the livestream rooms.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, YoutubeNiconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
1,588,773.
12,005,012.
30,958,880
In just one, over 30 million flooded into the ten livestream rooms!
Crap, its really getting out of hand now
Chen Yu couldnt help but be shocked as he looked at the rapidly increasing number displayed on his watchs screen.
[First! First!]
[Guess where I am now? Im inside the floating castle! I even had dinner together with the UP a few days ago!]
[Stop daydreaming!]
[Wheres the female assistant? Why is she absent again?! What are we even here for?!]
[So, this is Transdimensional Reviews livestream? The hosts costume is amazing! Subscribed, subscribed.]
[This is the first livestream of the new year! Lets destroy Earth and have fun!]
After half a minute went by, the ten livestream rooms total viewer count exceeded 40 million.
Seeing that the increase in viewership was slowing down, Chen Yu stopped waiting and proceeded with his opening remarks. Friends in the livestream rooms, good morning.
This is Transdimensional Reviews ninth official livestream. A year has gone by already. I feel happy to be able to meet with everyone again. It seems we have many new friends joining us today. I hope everyone can gain something through my livestream. Also, I would like to thank everyone for waiting patiently before your screens. Now, lets dispense with the nonsense and begin todays review.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned the cameras focus toward the rectangular delivery box beside him. This is the ninth official livestreams protagonist. It is significantly smaller compared to the previous episodes product. Moreover
Picking up the box and weighing it before the camera, Chen Yu said, It is very light as well. I dont think it weighs more than ten kilograms. Referencing my previous words, after my next promotion, I will be receiving an incredibly dangerous product from the future. Hence, I predict that this product is most likely a defense-related technology.
Now, lets unbox it and see whether I guessed correctly!
Reaching out, Chen Yu grabbed the red tape used to seal the delivery box and lightly tugged on it.
Tear!
A harsh tearing sound appeared, and the one-meter-long tape instantly parted with the delivery box.
After tossing the red tape away, Chen Yu picked up the delivery box and directed its top to the camera. He then slowly opened the two side covers, letting his 40 million-plus viewers have a clear look at the product.
[?]
[???]
[Whats this? Im confused.]
[This shape]
[Hello? Police?]
[My daughter strongly recommended me to watch this livestream, saying that its going to be very interesting. Is she trying to tell me something?]
[Perverted host! Reported!]
[I love seeing how the moderators are dying to ban this stream but cant.]
[Dislike! This episodes review should be left for the female assistant to conduct!]
[Shh! This should be an advanced technology for wealthy women in the future. There might be some unexpected surprises.]
[If its art, dont mosaic it. If its perverse content, dont stream it.]
[Lololol! Im in awe of you!]
Raising his watch and looking at the bullet comments, Chen Yu couldnt help but grow slightly confused. However, when he poked his head forward and looked at the indescribable object inside the delivery box, his complexion darkened immediately.
Dammit! What is this thing?! Hurriedly closing the box, Chen Yu made a shushing gesture to the camera and said, Everyone, please calm down. I mightve opened the box incorrectly. Lets try it again.
After saying so, Chen Yu picked up the red tape from the ground and resealed the box. He then tore the tape away once more.
Tear!
Opening the box covers, Chen Yu found that the product inside still retained its previous shape.
Chen Yu:
[All rise! Time to send off an old driver!]
[Dont let wealthy women see it! Hide it quickly!]
[Its too late. The 9,999 rich women watching the stream expresses interest.]
[The livestream that was originally filled with a technological sense is now suddenly turning crooked]
Um, it seems this is going to be todays review product.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu cleared his throat and said calmly, Although the products shape is a little strange, believe me. It is definitely a piece of advanced technology.
After saying so, Chen Yu grabbed the object inside the box by its head and pulled it out of the box. He then placed it on the empty ground beside him.
Inside the box was a small card.
As an experienced transdimensional reviewer, Chen Yu naturally knew that this card was an instruction manual. Hurriedly, he picked it up and registered his retina information with the cards operating system.
Creak
After Chen Yu completed the registration, a line of artistic words suddenly appeared on the front of the barren card
This is
The moment Chen Yu saw the products name, his pupils shrank, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
What?! Its this amazing?!!
Chapter 287 - Ninth Official Livestream! (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 287 C Ninth Official Livestream! (2)
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, Chen familys abode:
Chen Yike laid resting in her room at this time. When she saw her phones screen lighting up, she sharpened her spirits and hurriedly reached for the phone.
Looking at the screen, she found that Transdimensional Reviews livestream had already started.
Its here!
Sitting up abruptly, Chen Yike clicked on a screen recording plug-in to record the livestream before setting her phone on her desk. She then sneakily crept out of her room.
Big Sis, you
Shh!
After shushing Chen Erke, Chen Yike continued advancing, passing through the living room and arriving before Chen Yus bedroom.
Big Sis, what are you doing? Chen Erke asked in a low voice as she approached Chen Yike.
Im exposing a big secret!
Big secret? Chen Erke couldnt help but be surprised.
Shh. Stop speaking and stand behind me.
Okay!
Subsequently, Chen Yike placed her ear against the door and carefully listened for any sounds inside the room.
However, even after eavesdropping for half a minute, she failed to hear any sound coming from the room.
Sure enough, hes no longer inside his room? The corners of Chen Yikes lips raised slightly. She then straightened her back and knocked hard on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Brother! Are you inside?
What is it? Chen Yus voice suddenly came from inside the room.
Chen Yike: ???
Dont interrupt my sleep if theres nothing important.
Uu Chen Yike was startled, her face full of disbelief.
Based on the data she analyzed and the conclusions she reached, she was certain Chen Yu was Transdimensional Reviews uploader! Now that Transdimensional Reviews livestream had already begun, how could there be anyone inside the room?
Sis, Big Brother is sleeping, Chen Erke said idly.
Impossible!
Turning around, Chen Yike returned to her room. She then carefully inspected her phone on the table. Did he pre-record his livestream?
However, when she saw Transdimensionals UP interacting with his audience, she quickly dismissed this conjecture.
Strange
Feeling unreconciled, Chen Yike approached Chen Yus room once more with her phone in hand.
Knock! Knock!
Big Brother, come out and play!
Dont interrupt my sleep if theres nothing important.
Huh? Is it a voice recording? Chen Yike grew suspicious. Leaning against the door, she continued shouting, Brother! Your little sister is lonely! Come and play with me!
Scram!
This tone It seems Chen Yu is inside Chen Yike lowered her head to look at her phones screen. She then looked at the door again, an ugly expression appearing on her face. Did I really make a mistake? But I keep having the feeling that something is amiss
Simultaneously, on the Super Floating Castle
Its this amazing?!!
Chen Yus pupils contracted when he saw the products name displayed on the card.
Alright, it seems I guessed wrongly. Everyone shouldve guessed wrongly as well.
After overcoming his initial shock, Chen Yu took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He then turned the cards front toward the camera and said, Todays product isnt some trivial object.
As everyone can see, the technological product for todays livestream isCthe Oscillating Planet Smasher!
[What?!]
[Crap!]
[Which bastard was it who suggested the host destroy Earth for fun just now?!]
[UP, stop fooling around. Its clearly a rich womans happy stick]
[I suddenly have a bold idea!]
[Host, I advise you to be kind.]
[The governments of the various countries should have prepared for such a moment, right? Start launching your nukes now.]
[This is my first time watching one of the hosts livestreams, yet its already so exciting? Like, like.]
[Let me just say this! Ever since the firework on New Year, the livestreams style has turned to the horror genre!]
[Crap]
[If Earth really is destroyed, the disappearance of my peerless facial appearance will be a major loss to the Milky Ways third spiral arm.]
[Am I the only one finding this exciting? Its a planet destroyer! We get to see a planet getting destroyed with our very own eyes! Isnt that exciting?]
[Exciting, exciting]
Through the name alone, we already know this product is something capable of destroying planets. Everyone, please calm down and listen to my explanation, Chen Yu said, placating his audience when he saw the tide of bullet comments flooding his watchs screen. No matter how crazy I am, I cant possibly test this product on Earth. Isnt Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, or even our moon a better choice?
[Dammit! Thats just as bad, alright?!]
[So, the doomsday that got postponed from 2012 is finally taking place?]
[Im returning to the countryside for refuge. Goodbye, everyone.]
[You bunch of fools! Cant you tell the UP is joking?]
[Theres an honest man here! Everyone, come bully him quickly!]
Meanwhile, in the Observer Hall located thousands of kilometers away from the Super Floating Castle
Groups of data were quickly presented to the various government representatives in the room.
It seems that Transdimensionals UP is planning to destroy that asteroid in the outer solar system, the middle-aged team leader from China said through the microphone before him. While reading the information in his hands, he continued, Gisella, an asteroid that is 2,300 kilometers in diameter and has a mass close to one-half of Pluto. It is a typical scattered-disc object that deviates from Earths orbital plane. In 25 years, it will crash into the solar system due to the drag of the primordial black hole.
At present, our technical teams still do not know the operating principles of the Oscillating Planet Smasher. We do not know what method it will use to destroy planets, so we cannot analyze whether the destruction of Gisella will pose a threat to the inner solar system and Earth.
When the middle-aged team leader finished speaking, discussions erupted around the hall.
Half a minute later, Americas representative sternly tapped the table and spoke through his microphone, Quiet. What I want to know now is whether we have any personnel aboard the floating castle right now.
We do, the assistant behind Americas representative said, nodding. There are at least four people stationed at the Forbidden Forests airport at all times. They are probably less than 100 meters away from Transdimensionals UP right now.
Excellent. According to his usual practice, Transdimensionals UP will give a comprehensive introduction of the product before entering the testing phase. Notify the technical teams to focus on the introduction phase. Once they find out about the Oscillating Planet Smashers operating principles, have them analyze the possible dangers of Giselles destruction to Earth immediately and as quickly as possible.
Also, contact the four people in the Forbidden Forest. Have them be ready to execute orders at all times. If the technical teams reach unfavorable results, have them stop Transdimensionals UP immediately.
After Americas representative gave out his series of commands, the whole Observer Foundation began operating quickly and efficiently.
Oh? Looking at the bullet comments displayed on his watch, Chen Yu shrugged and said, It seems many people have taken my words seriously. Unfortunately, I am only making a joke. Planets such as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are all properties of humanity. As a human myself, I naturally wouldnt try to destroy them.
The best target to experiment on is undoubtedly the asteroid that will hit the sun 25 years later! Im sure my veteran viewers should remember this asteroid. Its name is Gisella, and its mass is roughly equivalent to that of the moon. In the solar system, aside from the eight major planets, Gisella can be considered a relatively large celestial body.
It seems Ill get to save the world again.
Boom!
Kicking the rectangular delivery box away, Chen Yu squeezed the card in his left hand and caressed the tip of the Oscillating Planet Smasher with his right hand. He then faced the camera and said excitedly, Are you ready?
While we might not have the opportunity to see how a planet is formed, we finally get to see how one disappears
Chapter 288 - Ninth Official Livestream! (3)
Thats it for the unboxing. Before we begin our journey of planetary destruction, let me introduce the products functions, effects, and operation methods to everyone.
After saying so, Chen Yu clicked the middle of the card. Immediately, a virtual projection appeared above the card.
While sliding his finger across the projection, Chen Yu began his introduction.
Its actually an old friends product. Wonderful. The Oscillating Planet Smasher was produced by the Haqiu Arms Company in 4266. It is mainly used for scientific research, collection of outer planetary resources, and military operations. Note that this is the first time we have received a product from beyond the 40th century! This product has crossed over 2,200 years to reach us! How terrifying!
The devices physical body is one meter tall and 55 centimeters wide. There are two spheres located on the bottom end of the object, and each sphere contains concentrated particles called the quantum recoil magnetic field. These particles cannot be reused.
In other words, this device can only be used to destroy two planets.
Picking up the Oscillating Planet Smasher, Chen Yu pointed at the two spheres at the bottom, stifling a burst of laughter as he said, Once theyre exhausted, they cannot be reproduced automatically.
Meanwhile, the function of these particles is to form anti-gravity through movement, effectively inhibiting a portion of the universal gravitation. Yes, inhibiting! Since this device works on a planetary scale, the anti-gravity it generates is at least an order of magnitude higher than ordinary anti-gravity!
With this, we can roughly guess how this device is going to destroy planets. It is very, very simple. In deep space, most celestial bodies are in constant rotation. If we inhibit a celestial bodys gravitational force for even a short period, under the celestial bodys terrifying centrifugal force, all matter that previously relied on gravity to stay stuck to each other will be sent flying! In turn, this will result in the decomposition of this celestial body.
Meanwhile, once the effect of the quantum recoil magnetic field disappears and gravity recovers, the universal gravitation will push the separated matter back to the celestial bodys core! This results in a huge collapse that is beyond imagination!
Finally, the destruction of this celestial body will be completed.
[Crap]
[This series of combos is awesome.]
[Awesome!]
[If this is used on a star, wouldnt it cause a supernova explosion?]
[How terrifying]
[Earthlings are still the cruelest!]
[Hurry up and test it on Earth!]
[Mercury: Im not going to rotate anymore.]
[Moon: Im going to stop rotating as well.]
[Strongly request you try it on Jupiter]
Thud.
Setting down the planet smasher, Chen Yu waited for the bullet comments to settle down before resuming his narration, This may be the intelligence of humans in the future. Theres no need to use violent methods such as bombs or black holes to destroy a planet. We can simply remove a planets gravity and have it destroy itself using its own centrifugal force.
Of course, such an operating principle also means that this device will have a significantly weaker effect on slow-rotating celestial bodies. However, it is only weakened. Once a celestial body has its gravitational force suppressed, the gravitational force from the nearest star will still tear it apart.
The next moment, Chen Yu flipped the card around and showed the virtual projections contents to the camera. He then pointed at a set of data and said, According to the instruction manuals introduction, in theory, the Oscillating Planet Smasher can destroy celestial bodies with mass up to two Jupiters. However, there will be certain errors during actual operation due to objective and environmental conditions.
Oh, by the way, the word Oscillating in this products name is referring to the process of injecting the recoil particles through high-frequency vibration. The device doesnt rely on vibrations alone to destroy a celestial body. That is simply unrealistic. The amount of energy required to accomplish such a feat will be astronomical and wont be cost-efficient.
Turning off the virtual projection, Chen Yu stored the card into his pocket. Thats it for the products introduction. Everyone should already have a preliminary understanding of its operating principle. Now, lets proceed to the next and most important phaseactual operation and performance evaluation!
After saying so, Chen Yu picked up the Oscillating Planet Smasher and made his way toward the castle complex. He planned to first put on the protective suit before teleporting to Asteroid Gisella using the Interstellar Portal.
M-Mr. King!
However, just as Chen Yu was about to exit the Forbidden Forest, four security personnel from the airport suddenly approached him and stopped him in his path.
Do you need anything? Chen Yu stopped and inspected the two black men and two white men with a frown. If you have nothing to say, please get out of the way.
What he detested the most was having meaningless interruptions during his livestream.
We do. One person carefully stepped forward and spoke rapidly, Mr. King, the allied nations have notified us that using the Oscillating Planet Smasher to destroy Gisella may pose a threat to the inner solar system.
Oh? Chen Yus expression grew serious. Will it cause direct damage to Earth?
T-The chances of this happening is small. However, once Gisellas fragments enter the inner solar system, they will be attracted by Saturns and Jupiters gravitational force. There is a high chance a collision between them will occur.
And what of it? Waving his hand nonchalantly, Chen Yu continued advancing forward. I knew the destruction of such a distant asteroid couldnt affect Earth. If I destroy it now, it can be regarded as solving the disaster human civilization will face 25 years later.
B-But The leader of the security guards subconsciously reached out with his hand. However, in the end, he did not dare touch Chen Yu and could only watch as the latter walked away.
Meanwhile, when the various nations representatives in the Observer Hall saw this scene, they couldnt help but shake their heads helplessly. Based on their analysis of Chen Yus personality portrait, this result was well within their expectations.
Hello, Headmaster!
Headmaster
After Chen Yu entered the castle complex, a group of students immediately closed in on him and greeted him.
One short-haired youth even made silly faces at the camera while excitedly waving his hand and saying, Mom! Im on TV!
[Good son.]
[Good son.]
[These are the Academys students? How enviable!]
[Cambridge suddenly doesnt feel as lovely anymore.]
[They get to learn future knowledge and live in a large castle. They really are standing at the pinnacle of life]
[Huh? Why does that girl with big eyes look like my wife?]
[One of them is a top student from our Third Middle School. I feel so proud.]
Everyone, disperse.
After arriving inside the Headmasters Towers lobby, Chen Yu said to the surrounding students, Those with classes should head to class. Those without classes should do some self-studying. Theres nothing interesting to see here.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Boom Rumble, rumble
A moving staircase fell from the ceiling, revealing the main hall upstairs.
After waving his hand at the students, Chen Yu strode up the staircase and arrived before the Interstellar Portal. He then called up the virtual interface and established a spatial link to Gisella, which was hundreds of astronomical units away from Earth.
Boom
The staircase connecting the lobby and main hall closed.
The spatial links establishment had also been completed simultaneously.
The next moment, a world of gray and black appeared behind the metal arch
Im going to change into my protective suit first. Ill be right back. In the meantime, everyone can use this chance to resolve any urgencies. Once we begin the detonation process afterward, you might not get any more opportunities to pee.
Leaving the floating camera hovering in place, Chen Yu continued moving up the staircase and disappeared into the rotating corner.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu returned to the main hall, fully armed.
Everything is ready! Picking up the Oscillating Planet Smasher, Chen Yu pointed at the metal arch and said, Now, follow my camera and bear witness to the destruction of a celestial body.
After saying so, Chen Yu moved one foot through the portals transparent spatial film.
Chapter 289 - There Really is Nothing Left
Suspended in deep space, Chen Yu couldnt distinguish between directions.
The gray Gisella could be above or below him, depending on how he oriented his body.
Viewers in front of the screen, this is the asteroid that will collide with the sun 25 years later. As you can see, its surface is grayish, which is probably a result of the asteroid being too far away from the sun, and only a subtle amount of light is refracted off of its surface.
Well From my perspective, it can be considered a gorgeous celestial body. Unfortunately, it is going to become history after today.
After saying so, Chen Yu hugged the Oscillating Planet Smasher in his arms tightly and propelled himself toward the asteroids surface with the protective suits plasma engine.
Whoosh
Without an atmospheres hindrance, the blue tail flame coming out of the plasma engine extended to an extreme length. From afar, it looked as if a massive, blue sword was pushing Chen Yu forward.
Meanwhile, as Chen Yu moved closer and closer to Gisella, the asteroids gravitational force also began acting on his body, finally giving him a vague sense of direction.
[Its so beautiful!]
[I want to fly in space as well.]
[I recommend the game No Mans Sky. You can experience all the beauty in the universe through the game!]
[All you guys can think of is having fun, while I am only thinking of business!]
[I wonder why I can always find perverse content among the endless stream of bullet comments]
[I am a staff member of Universal Pictures. The company wishes to use the screen material of the following asteroid destruction. UP, please grant me access to privately message you. I will convey the information to you on behalf of our company. Thanks!]
[Columbia Pictures: Were the same. Well give you even more money.]
[Interested in some clips? Message me @ V***]
[I cant add him. Did he get insta-banned?]
[This is unreasonable. Both are advertising for their companies, and both are in the business of selling movies. Why ban one but not the other?]
Under the plasma engines powerful thrust, Chen Yu arrived on the asteroids surface in no time at all.
Chen Yu jumped lightly after powering down the engine, his body ascending by more than four meters. The gravity here is incredibly weak. I think its not even half that of the moon. However, this might be a misconception of mine as this asteroids radius is only slightly smaller than the moon.
Setting down the planet smasher, Chen Yu looked at his surroundings before continuing, I suddenly have the thought to take a picture with it. However, we have limited time, so lets forget it and just start with the review.
After gesturing an OK to the camera, Chen Yu oriented the device so that its head faced the ground and the two spherical at its rear faced upward.
After flipping the device around, Chen Yu discovered that the flat surface at the planet smashers rear was actually the devices console.
Wiping the dust off the console, he observed the console for a while before clicking the physical button at the consoles center.
Buzz!
A sound similar to a ringing bell actually rang out in the vacuum environment! Moreover, aside from Chen Yu, even the livestreams 40 million viewers had heard this sound.
This is
Raising his head, Chen Yu looked at the array of lights dancing before him. This should be an interactive brainwave control! Many graphical interfaces have appeared in my mind right now. The interfaces resemble Microsofts computer systems, and there are at least 50 of these interfaces displayed in my mind! However, I can easily sort out the content and information displayed on each interface! Crap This is too magical.
[What kind of performance is this?]
[50 graphical interfaces? Wont you faint from information overload?]
[You fool! Its definitely different from having 50 computer monitors displayed before your eyes! It should be a more efficient experience.]
[I cant understand at all, but I still feel envious.]
[In that case, if the host watches 50 Japanese action movies simultaneously Wont he die from pleasure?]
[There are always old drivers who can power through all kinds of terrain.]
Chen Yu released his grip over the Oscillating Planet Smasher and spread out his arms. However, the device remained standing and did not fall over. Seeing this, he took a few steps back, stretched out a finger, and tentatively flicked the device. With the introduction of an external force, the device began oscillating left and right.
This way of interaction is amazing. All information relating to the Oscillating Planet Smasher is filtered and displayed in my mind. Moreover, I can freely control the devices movement, angle, oscillation, and activation at will. This really is no different from magic.
Technology has really progressed to a scary degree in the 42nd century
Sighing, Chen Yu raised his right hand slowly.
Whoosh!
Like the flying swords mentioned in fantasy novels, the Oscillating Planet Smasher rose into the air!
Fall!
Whoosh!
The next moment, driven by an unknown force, the top-half cylindrical portion of the device plunged and buried itself into the soft surface of the asteroid.
According to the animated guide displayed in my mind, the Oscillating Planet Smasher goes through three steps to destroy a planet.
Step one: Insert the probe, which is that long cylindrical stick, into the targets surface.
Step two: The device will release an extended polymer pipe to the targets step.
Step three: The device will release the anti-gravity particles to inhibit the targets gravitational force.
As everyone can see, we have already completed the first step. For safetys sake, I will withdraw from the asteroid first.
After saying so, a blue tail flame sprayed out from the back of Chen Yus armor once more, propelling him into outer space. Only after distancing himself over 20,000 kilometers away from the asteroid did Chen Yu feel confident enough to stop.
The connection between me and the oscillator should be a connection based on the principle of quantum entanglement. There wont be any delays in conveying information due to distance, which means that even if the device and I are positioned at two separate ends of the universe, I can activate it instantaneously.
Also, I just received a notification in my mind stating that the second step is completed. The polymer pipes extension is very fast. Before I even stopped moving, it had already reached the asteroids core.
Although Chen Yu had flown 20,000 kilometers away from the asteroid, the floating camera still remained on Asteroid Gisellas surface.
Hence, the 40 million viewers watching the livestream could clearly see that the oscillators leftsphere was currently shrinking at a rapid pace.
Evidently, the particles stored within it had entered the polymer pipe and were making their way toward the asteroids core.
Five minutes later, the particle injection process finished, and the left sphere had shrunken down to its very limit.
The third step is also complete now!
Next, all we need to do is wait for the anti-gravity particles to spread. As long as they spread to the mantle layer, Gisella will disintegrate and die. This process should take no more than five minutes.
This will also be the last five minutes of the asteroids life
[Farewell, Gisella! I pray that heaven doesnt have someone like Transdimensionals UP!]
[Can this be considered death by that?]
[If you want to say it, say it openly! Death by *!]
[Brother, you got censored. (?_?)]
[Theres only one ball left! Erm]
[I suddenly feel like laughing.]
[Dammit! Cant you let me watch the show properly?]
Twenty thousand kilometers away, Chen Yu beckoned with his hand. Immediately, the Oscillating Planet Smasher rose up from the ground and shot toward Chen Yu at a terrifying speed.
However, the floating cameras flying speed was still superior. It reached Chen Yu far sooner than the Planet Smasher did.
Swish Bang.
After crossing the 20,000-kilometer distance, the Oscillating Planet Smasher rapidly decelerated, and Chen Yu caught it steadily with his arms.
Lifting up the devices cylindrical portion, Chen Yu noticed a drop of liquid resembling mercury hanging off its tip
Reaching out, Chen Yu wiped the liquid off the device and rubbed it in his hand. Immediately, the drop of liquid shattered into tens of millions of tiny particles that disappeared into the endless void.
Mhm.
There really is nothing left this time
Chapter 290 - Only Extinction Awaits Mankind…
Chapter 290 C Only Extinction Awaits Mankind
The world did not revolve around only one person.
While 40 million viewers were indeed many people, that was less than 2% of the human population on Earth.
Therefore, when Chen Yus review was gradually entering its climax, a board meeting that would affect all of mankind was also being held simultaneously in the HAL Hall, which was located underneath Googles headquarters in America.
If one were to look at human history from a point in time in the future, this meeting held much greater importance than even Chen Yus livestream
We have run trial operations for three days now. HALs operation is stable, and its learning efficiency has already reached the server loads limit, the middle-aged, white professor said with a dignified expression as he looked at Googles CEO and many board directors. Under its own independent study, HAL has also fixed many of logic-level loopholes that existed in the early design stage. Aside from the huge energy consumption, this Strong AI has no flaws.
Let the directors see the breakthroughs we made in the field of medicine, the CEO said.
Okay. The professor nodded. He then said, HAL, show the results of the OCD drug research.
Yes, sir.
As the electronically synthesized sound appeared, numerous images appeared on the circular screen.
Stepping forward, the professor pointed at the pictures and introduced, As we expected from the beginning, the advantages artificial intelligence has in designing drugs are simplybeyond imagination.
At present, there are too many molecules that can be used for drug therapy. This number is so massive that even if all seven billion people on Earth are medical researchers and are involved in the same research, we wont complete all the necessary tests.
However, this is a simple task for a Strong AI. Through discovering and analyzing different molecules, HAL can compare them with other available information to efficiently develop compounds with greater therapeutic potential. For example, this
After saying so, the professor swiped his finger across the screen, pulled out a picture, and zoomed in on the picture. This compound produced yesterday, called DSP-1181, can effectively inhibit obsessive-compulsive disorder. It lasts longer and has a more substantial effect than other existing drugs. We are already in the process of registering for its patent.
Meanwhile, HAL has already created 2,145 of such drug patents during the past three days, of which 32 are of value. Moreover, this is only in the field of medicine. Shareholders, you can now reduce your investment in biotechnology and begin investing more funds in the field of artificial intelligence.
After saying so, the professor stepped back and nodded. Thats it from me.
Clap, clap, clap
Elegant and warm applause echoed throughout the room.
After having a brief discussion with each other, the directors all voiced their unanimous satisfaction with HAL.
Thank you very much, Professor. However, in addition to this, we also have to recognize one thingHALs learning speed is still limited, the CEO said to the directors. The server arrays performance is limiting her evolutionary speed.
I understand, a plump lady said, smiling. We wont forget about the additional funding. This is the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. The board of directors will fully support the bold assembly of quantum servers.
It isnt just a matter of additional funding, the CEO said as he looked toward the two eyeballs displayed on the circular screen. His gaze sharpening, he continued, We wish to take a step further.
Go on.
We want to incorporate HAL into the global internet, the CEO said.
Incorporating it into the internet?!
Aside from the middle-aged professor, everyone else in the room couldnt help but be surprised by the CEOs words.
If we incorporate HAL into the internet, its computing power will be greatly improved. Not only will this save us on high operation costs, but it will also allow us to obtain more supportive information! For a Strong AI like HAL, having access to massive amounts of data is crucial for its evolution.
This Among the crowd, one male director hesitantly said, This is an illegal behavior.
We have a million ways to avoid legal provisions. The legal aspect of this matter is the last thing we need to worry about, the CEO said, smiling. Organizations standing at the top of the technology pyramid are outside the laws of the internet world. Moreover, the progress of time is unstoppable. It will crush everything in its path. Even if we dont do it, someone else will in the near future. This is the tide of technology.
But HAL is the worlds first Strong AI, after all. Will there be any unexpected dangers or results?
My dear Mr. West, you have watched a little too many science fiction movies. Reality is different from fantasy. Placing down the documents in his hand, the CEO pointed at the circular screen and said meaningfully, Also, even if the birth of artificial intelligence will bring danger to humans at a 100% certainty, and humans are fully aware of it, but when driven by time, interests, and competition, mankind will still welcome it without hesitation
For example, despite knowing that the birth of nuclear weapons is a disaster waiting to happen, they are still produced in large quantities.
Despite knowing deforestation will cause ecological disasters and other chain reactions, the number of vegetation disappearing annually is still increasing year after year.
Despite knowing greenhouse gases will cause the collapse of humanitys living environment, and the deposition of harmful metals into nature will cause the loss of the food chain
Despite knowing all these actions are wrong, humans still proceed to make these mistakes.
Hearing the CEOs words, everyone fell silent.
This is the sorrow of civilization. Ignoring all those illusory love, ideals, and propaganda, the end of mankind has long been determined, and that is extinction. There is no other end awaiting us.
Just take a look at the future technological products Transdimensionals UP has revealed to us. Almost every one of them carries immense danger with it. If I told you that none of those products have caused human deaths or injuries, would you believe me?
Everyone remained silent.
After pausing slightly, the CEO caressed HALs screen and said somberly, If an artificial intelligence crisis truly exists, then it will inevitably appear one day. After the disaster, so long as human beings do not go extinct, then an intelligence crisis will continue to occur for a second, third, fourth time, and so on until humanity disappears completely. Hence
What is there to be hesitant about? Let us connect HAL to the internet. At the very least, let us be the ones to open the doors to this new era
At the same time, in the outer solar system
Chen Yu, who was suspended 20,000 kilometers away from Asteroid Gisella, suddenly noticed a drastic change occurring to the statistics displayed on the inside of his helmet!
The gravity parameters have changed, which means Gisellas destruction is about to begin. Ill fly further away to allow everyone to have a clear view of the process.
After saying so, Chen Yu hugged the Oscillating Planet Smasher and flew into the depths of space.
Whoosh
Driven by the plasma engine, Chen Yus flying speed was incredibly fast. In no time at all, the asteroid that originally extended past the cameras field of view had become a fully visible sphere.
[What a beautiful asteroid.]
[If it was closer to the sun, it could shine as brightly as the moon.]
[Its going to explode soon, though. Lololol]
This should be far enough.
Halting his flight, Chen Yu turned around and looked at the Asteroid Gisella.
Meanwhile, at this time!
Under the gaze of 40 million viewers!
The massive celestial bodysuddenly shook!
Chapter 291 - Ninth Official Livestream Over!
Chapter 291 C Ninth Official Livestream Over!
This was a terrifying earthquake that had never been seen before in human history.
Even from more than 100,000 kilometers away, one could clearly see Asteroid Gisellas torn surface. The asteroid looked like an originally completed jigsaw puzzle falling apart.
Rock masses, mountains, plains, ravines, craters
After losing their gravitational restraint, all matter on the asteroids surface was almost instantly thrown into outer space by the asteroids powerful centrifugal force. Matter separated from the asteroid layer by layer, piece by piece, leaving behind a series of terrifying scars on the asteroid.
Some of the long and narrow ravines even reached a depth of tens of thousands of mirrors!
The sight was both beautiful and harrowing
[Crap]
[This is insane.]
[It looks like a peeled orange. |???`)]
[OhMy God!]
[֤ (Thats horrible)]
[Jupiter has entered the livestream room and clicked like.]
[This is the most spectacular sight I have ever seen in my life!]
[+1]
[This is definitely CGI. It looks too different from reality.]
[The roar of destruction for humans begins here]
Boom!
Rumble
As a large amount of matter was thrown into space, some of the rock masses inevitably collided with each other, the collisions generating dazzling sparks.
Although there was a lack of a medium for sound to travel through, Chen Yus protective suit still caught the waves of radiation that spread from the colliding rock masses.
At this time, looking from afar, it would seem as if Asteroid Gisella was continually expanding in size. This was also the precursor of the celestial bodys disintegration.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a twisted pillar of crimson light shot out of the asteroid, the pillar breaking through the layers of matter and extending beyond 10,000 meters from the asteroids surface.
Magma! Thats magma! Chen Yus eyes lit up in excitement. Theres actually such a rich geological activity inside this celestial body!
Boom!
Boom!!
More and more magma was ejected out of the asteroid under high pressure. Meanwhile, after losing the drag of Gisellas gravitational force, these deadly substances were able to remain airborne for a long time. And as they continued spreading out due to inertia, they adhered to the limestone and rock that were in an aerosol state, which, in turn, caused more intense light radiation and explosion.
All of a sudden, Gisella had strangely turned into a big, red, shining sphere.
No, this wont do. The asteroid is disintegrating too quickly. Chen Yus expression turned solemn. Immediately, he activated the plasma engine and fled further away from the asteroid without hesitation.
Unlike small meteorites, the high temperatures and pressures generated by a disintegrating asteroid were extremely dangerous. He wasnt certain whether his protective suit could withstand these temperatures and pressures.
[Crap! It exploded!]
[Crap! It exploded.]
[Be more confident. Remove the exclamation point.]
[Isnt this too addictive?!]
[This is only the beginning. Theres going to be an even fiercer explosion when the collapse begins!]
[This is the best documentary ever.]
[Honestly, after looking at this scene, I really want to see it being replicated on Earth.]
[Humans are so small]
After flying another 50,000 kilometers away from the asteroid, Chen Yu stopped and looked back. Immediately, he saw that Gisella had expanded from an asteroid into a planet.
At first glance, it looked very much like a gas planet.
Huh? Shortly after coming to a stop, Chen Yu noticed the rapidly changing numbers displayed inside his helmet. Crap, its still going to explode?
Without hesitation, Chen Yu hugged the Oscillating Planet Smasher tightly and began running away once more.
Boom!!!
Three seconds later, an explosion that exceeded 400 decibels suddenly erupted from the asteroid!
The entire asteroid hadblown up
The frightening kinetic energy generated also caused 60% of the asteroids uppermost matter to finally separate from the asteroids core.
If Chen Yu inserted the floating camera into the explosion zone at this time, he would be able to clearly see the torn and melted metal lumps inside the asteroid.
That was the solid matter found in Asteroid Gisellas mantle.
The speed of light really is fast. Right now, my armors surface temperature has already exceeded 600, and it is still rising. However, this temperature is still far from reaching the armors critical value, so there is no need to worry.
Through his helmets filter, Chen Yu could witness the whole process of the explosion and disintegration of the asteroid. Shaking his head and sighing, he said, Im at a loss for words. This scene is too spectacular. Gisella has used its life to offer us such a wonderful experience. It is truly a great asteroid.
[Gisella: Goddammit!]
[More like forced greatness.]
[Type GG quickly if youve lost.]
[The latest explosion is awesome.]
[We can definitely see the light of the explosion from Earth! Ive already prepared my astronomical telescope.]
[Theres no sound! Dislike!]
[Youll die the moment you hear the sound.]
[Passion is surging within me after watching this scene! I must do something to quell it! Hence, I scratched my feet]
When Gisellas burning outer layer expanded to Mercurys size, the effects of the anti-gravity particles finally disappeared. Immediately, the asteroids solid inner core began displaying its might once more.
As a result, all matter that failed to reach the asteroids escape velocity slowly fell back to the core under the drag of gravity. Moreover, their speed of descent continually increased as time passed. In the eyes of the livestreams 40 million viewers, it looked as if mountains were smashing into the inner core one after another.
Boom! Chen Yu opened his mouth and added some sound effects of his own.
The next moment, an explosion far more spectacular than the ones before lit up!
For a moment, it looked as if a new star was being born
The armors temperature has already exceeded 1,000. This wont do. I need to withdraw.
After giving his audience an explanation, Chen Yu restarted the plasma engine and resumed escaping.
Meanwhile, the explosion caused by the collapse had sent matter flying into the air once more. The violent friction between matter also led to chain explosions. Afterward, a portion of the remaining matter would get dragged back to the asteroids core, resulting in even more explosions
This was a terrifying scene that couldnt be described using words.
Compared with this, the violent natural disasters that occurred on Earth looked incredibly insignificant.
Let alone living beings, even planets wouldnt be safe in the face of such kinetic energy.
At this point, Gisella was undoubtedly dead.
Perhaps, after the prolonged explosion, high pressures, and high temperatures subsided, there might be some crystalline carbon matter leftover that could prove that the asteroid once existed
Stopping his retreat, Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at the Oscillating Planet Smasher. Suddenly, he found that the device felt much heavier than before.
This was the weight of technology.
By the looks of it, Gisellas struggles will persist for a while before it thoroughly dies. Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu took in a deep breath and calmed his emotions. He then said, Maybe even after a year has passed, the explosions will still continue. However, compared to the long life it has lived, the time of one year can be described as fleeting.
I am not an expert in the field of astronomy, so I cant say for certain. However, Im guessing that through its series of explosions, Gisella will be tossing around 80% to 90% of its mass into space. Meanwhile, a considerable portion of this matter should fly into the inner solar system.
However, it doesnt matter. We have Jupiter and Saturn serving as our bodyguards. They can capture most of the uninvited guests with their gravity. On the scale of the solar system, Gisellas corpse is not even the size of a dime. The possibility of it causing harm to Earth is minimal.
After taking one last look at the boiling asteroid, Chen Yu turned away from the asteroid and began his conclusion. Im sure everyone has seen the Oscillating Planet Smashers effects and performance. It is undoubtedly an excellent product. Using it against an asteroid such as Gisella is no different than using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Perhaps, only when used against large planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth can the device display its true potential.
Ill also leave some foreshadowing here. If we have an opportunity to exit the solar system, I will definitely detonate a big planet for everyone to see.
[Just listen to him. Is this something a human would say?]
[In the hosts eyes, planets are no different than firecrackers.]
[Theres nothing wrong with him. Dont forget, hes going to blow up a star next year!]
[Good luck, Gisella!]
[Theres still one round of ammunition left. Theres also one anti-matter bomb leftover from the Chinese New Year. I suspect that the UP is planning to do something big.]
[The universe really is terrifying. I can even feel the tremors all the way from Earth.]
[This is real art]
[Is the livestream ending? Cant you drag it on for a while longer? I still havent had my fill.]
[Once the explosion ends, there will definitely be diamonds remaining inside the core! Host, dont forget to go collect them!]
[Diamonds? There is an uncountable amount of these things on Earth. Do you think theyre valuable?]
So, thats about it. Todays official livestream will now come to an end.
Releasing the Oscillating Planet Smasher and letting it hover before him, Chen Yu intertwined his fingers before the camera and said, Firstly, I would like to thank our old friend, the Haqiu Arms Company, for supplying me with this Oscillating Planet Smasher. Out of all the products I have received thus far, this one is definitely the most powerful. It should also be the most attractive. After all
Which man wouldnt want to destroy a planet?
Next, I would like to thank the livestreams 40 million viewers. Thank you for always supporting my livestreams. Obviously, there will be more and more people finding out about this program. Maybe, a few more episodes, every netizen worldwide would be participating in my monthly official livestreams. Although I will face greater pressure during my livestreams, I believe my livestreams will become more exciting.
Perhaps, many people would feel that todays livestream has ended somewhat quickly. However, please believe me when I say that the episode isnt short. Instead, it is because the review process has proceeded smoothly and without fillers.
Before I end the livestream, let me make an advertisement for the next official livestream. Time has gone by really quickly, and three months have passed us in the blink of an eye. Everyone should know that my access level will be rising once more. This time, it is going to go from D+ to C-! This is definitely going to be a major milestone.
Stretching out his hand, Chen Yu made a C gesture and said solemnly, Whether it is D-, D, or D+, all of them are categorized under the D-level access level. However, C- will be a whole new world. Through simple reasoning, we can infer that the next productwill definitely be very powerful!
Let us wait and see.
I am Transdimensionals UP. Let us meet again in the tenth official livestream next month.
Be there, or be square!
After Chen Yu said so, the screens of the livestreams 43 million viewers darkened simultaneously
Chapter 292 - Abnormal Daily Life
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, Chen familys abode:
Chen Yike held up her phone and stared at the darkened screen in a daze.
The more I look at him, the more he looks familiar! How can it not be him? Chen Yike muttered to herself.
Refusing to give up on her theory, she exited the livestream room and entered Transdimensional Reviews homepage. She then looked through Chen Yus previous videos in an attempt to find some important information.
Bang! Bang!
At this time, someone knocked on her bedroom door vigorously.
Lifting her head, Chen Yike noticed some dust falling from the ceiling. She then sighed and asked, What do you want, Third Eldest?
Big Sis! Open up!
Placing down her phone, Chen Yike massaged her aching temples. She then walked up to the door and unlocked it. Whats wrong with you?
Its snowing again. Straightening her chubby belly, Chen Sanke pointed outside the window and said, I want to have a snowball fight.
No. Chen Yike shook her head. I need to cook lunch later. Find your second sister to play.
Shes playing with her phone. She wont play with me.
Find your elder brother, then.
Isnt Big Brother sleeping?
That Shrugging, Chen Yike said, Theres no helping it, then. Dont play.
No! Chen Sanke pouted. I want to play! I want to play! I want to play!
Be good. Caressing Chen Sankes head, Chen Yike said, It just started to snow, so you cant build a snowman yet. Moreover, a snowball fight will only be fun if you have more people to play with. Even if I accompany you, well only have two people. Itll be very boring.
We can find White Rabbit Sister to play with! If you call her, shell definitely come! Shes very gentle.
No, thats impolite.
Uu Chen Sanke frowned as she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her hand and said, Lets go to the park! Isnt there a Big Sister there too? She a-always joins us whenever we go there to play. Lets go find her!
Thats a stranger, alright? We canthuh? Before finishing her words, Chen Yike suddenly came to a realization. Right!
Whats right? Chen Sanke tilted her head in confusion.
Thats right! Chen Yike jumped up in excitement. Why didnt I think of it? That girl!
Rushing back into her room, Chen Yike picked up her phone and browsed one of Chen Yus past videos where Little Peach had an appearance. She then carefully listened to Little Peachs voice.
Yes! This is it! This voice
As Chen Yikes memory gradually recovered, her face flushed with excitement.
She finally remembered.
During the two previous instances where they went to have a snowball fight in the nearby park, the girl that joined them on both occasions shared the exact same voice as the female assistant in Transdimensional Reviews program. However, as Chen Yike had only made contact with that girl a few times and barely heard the other party speak, she failed to realize this similarity right away.
This is great! Third Eldest! Chen Yike picked up Chen Sanke excitedly and lifted her up high. Youre amazing!
Blinking her eyes, Chen Sanke asked, Am I valuable now?
Huh?
Huh.
What are you talking about?! Placing down her little sister, Chen Yike said sternly, Stop sticking to me. I have an important business to deal with right now.
Are we still having a snowball fight, then?
No.
Pushing Chen Sanke aside, Chen Yike made a beeline for Chen Yus room, her brain spinning rapidly. Chen Sankes reminder had allowed her to figure out a lot of crucial points. The more she thought about the matter, the smoother her thoughts became. She also quickly noticed that throughout todays livestream, the female assistant was nowhere to be seen.
When she clicked on Transdimensional Reviews past livestreams, she found that the female assistant was present in almost every official livestream. Even if the female assistant didnt directly participate in the review, she would still briefly appear in the background.
However, the female assistant did not show up even for a moment during todays official livestream.
If I go by the premise that Chen Yu is Transdimensionals UP, then he would have the ability to change his voice. In that case, wouldnt it be a piece of cake for him to change his assistants voice as well?
Thus
A light flickered in Chen Yikes eyes. The Chen Yu in the room is a fake?
Lowering her phone, Chen Yike began recalling the female assistants behavior and actions during the past livestreams. She then recalled the two instances where she met Little Peach in the park. By the time she was done with her recollection, she had gained a rough understanding of Little Peachs personality.
Shh Straightening her back, Chen Yike looked back at her little sister, following behind her, and made a shushing gesture. She then cleared her throat and shouted in a very lively voice, Miss Big Sister! Its snowing outside again! Lets hurry up and have a snowball fight! I still have some leftover firecrackers from last time!
Really?! Little Peach, who was coding inside Chen Yus room, reacted in a pleasant surprise when she heard Chen Yikes words. Hurriedly, she pulled apart the curtains and looked at the snowy scenery outside the window. Jumping up in excitement, she shouted, Leave half of them for me! Snowballs with firecrackers are the bebest
Before Little Peach had even finished her sentence, her expression suddenly turned from joy to horror.
Hah! Chen Yike couldnt help but reveal a smug grin when she heard Little Peachs voice. She then raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Come on out, Miss Big Sister! Your concealment has already failed! Hurry up and open the door!
Uu Pacing around the room in a panic, Little Peach said, N-No, that Just now
Dont try to make excuses. Placing her hands on her hips, Chen Yike said, In the eyes of a famous detective, there is nowhere to hide the truth. Open the door quickly!
I
Open the door! Now! Im calling the police if you still refuse to open the door! I want to see how you explain things to my Big Brother at that time!
Hearing this, Little Peach fell into an even greater panic. Hurriedly, she unlocked the door.
Click.
The door opened.
Chen Yike and Little Peach stared at each other warily, both sides at a loss for words momentarily.
Huh? Leaning forward, Chen Sanke exclaimed in surprise, The Miss Big Sister from the snowball fights? Why are you in my house?
Hehe. After recovering from her initial shock, Chen Yike strode into Chen Yus room and looked around. It seems the truth has become clear. My Brother is indeed the rumored Transdimensionals UP. This istruly incredible.
D-Dont call the police Little Peach pleaded in a weak voice. Itll be very troublesome. Mr. Chen will definitely get angry.
I wont call the police so long as you are obedient and tell me everything you know. Sitting down on Chen Yus bed, Chen Yike visually inspected Little Peach before saying, Nice to meet you, Transdimensional Reviews female assistant. What is your real name?
L-Little Peach.
Is that your real name?
Mhm. Little Peach nodded.
Hello, Peach Sister. Chen Sanke also walked into the room. She then reached out and touched Little Peachs breasts while exclaiming, Wow! Youre fatter than my mother.
Little Peach:
Third Eldest! Get out!
I dont want to, Little Peach refused as she stared at Little Peach with an earnest gaze. She then tilted her head and asked, Why are you inside my Big Brothers room? Are you my Big Brothers wife?
Wife?
The mention of this keyword instantly activated Little Peachs dopamine production, causing her processors to overclock. With smoke coming out of her ears, she waved her hands around in a fluster while saying, I Ah! Yes, I am I am Mr. Chens wife H-How did you How did you guess it
Chen Yike was dumbfounded by this sight. Is she a lunatic?
Men never looked at the explosions behind them.
Hence, Chen Yu didnt look back at the exploding asteroid behind him, either.
After flying up to the Interstellar Portal, he passed through the portal without hesitation, returning to Earth, several hundred astronomical units away.
Whoosh
Turning off the plasma engine, Chen Yus feet landed steadily on the ground. He then disconnected the spatial link and approached the nearby window to gaze at the students and professors gathered outside. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up on the thought of greeting them and made his way to the study to change out of his protective suit.
Todays review really ended quickly.
After stretching his body, he returned to the main hall, altered the Interstellar Portals appearance, and established a spatial link with his own bedroom.
Two seconds later, the spatial link was established. Chen Yu then pushed open the wooden door and stepped through it.
Immediately afterward, Chen Yu froze on the spot.
Big Brother!
Chen Sanke was the first to react out of everyone inside the room. Running forward with her two stubby legs, she wrapped her arms around Chen Yus legs and hugged them tightly.
Uh Chen Yu looked at Chen Yike briefly before shifting his gaze to Little Peach. After pondering in silence for a moment, he angrily demanded, What is going on here!?
As you can see. Mimicking the pose Chen Yu made during his livestream, Chen Yike intertwined her fingers and said slyly, I have already exposed your identity, Mr. Transdimensionals UP.
Chen Yu: How did you find out? Ive hidden so deeply. Ive even fooled countless elite agents all over the world.
You might be able to hide it from the world, but you cant hide it from me. Raising her head triumphantly, Chen Yike crossed her legs on her bed. Ive long since suspected you. The earliest instance was half a year ago. You kept hiding in your room and making all sorts of strange noises. As your smart little sister, how can I not notice it?
For the past six months, Ive been trying to figure out
Of course, I cant prove anything with these subjective guesses
Afterward, theres the Quantum Reading Glasses
Its not because I am excellent. Instead, its because I have an inherent advantage
Chen Yike rambled on for three whole minutes before stopping. Hence, I succeeded.
Hmm. Pondering, Chen Yu asked, Did you prepare these lines in advance?
How did you know?
I heard it once last time.
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out the Amnesia Bat from his pocket and inflated it.
Thud!
The Amnesia Bat unfolded immediately.
So, this is a future pro
Thump!
Before Chen Yike could finish her sentence, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.
Wow! Chen Sanke exclaimed in surprise. How fun!
You have some fun too, then.
Thump!
Following a muffled sound, Chen Sanke limply collapsed to the ground and fell asleep.
Big Brother, what are you guys doing? Hearing the commotion, Chen Erke came running over with her phone in hand. She then poked her head into the room curiously.
Thump!
The next moment, the Amnesia Bat sent her collapsing to the ground.
Woof? The husky also came running over. However, after seeing the murder scene, its fur rose up all over its body as it said, I awoo~am dog! I cant speak awoo~
Thump!
Thud.
Whats going on here? Mother Chen came walking over in a daze while rubbing her eyes. Whats with all the noise? Cant you let me sleep in
Thump!
Peace
Thud.
Aside from the head of the household, who was out working overtime, and the eldest son, the Chen family wasannihilated.
What are you still standing there for? Pick them up and return them to their rooms! Chen Yu said to Little Peach as he stored away the Amnesia Bat. He then questioned Little Peach, Why did you open the door for her? Didnt I tell you to keep yourself hidden properly?
S-She found me out, Little Peach said timidly as she lowered her head.
How did she find out?
I got tricked
How stupid are you?! Picking up Chen Sanke with his left hand and Chen Erke with his right hand, Chen Yu looked at Little Peach contemptuously and said, You were actually played by a teenage girl? If I were you, I would die from shame.
Uu
How long has it been since she came in?
A-About ten minutes
Good, then. I can still wipe her memories.
After struggling for some time and returning his family members and dog to their respective positions, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom. He then sat down in front of his desk and fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about how he should go about solving the trouble known as Chen Yike.
Evidently, Chen Yike had already identified him as Transdimensional Reviews uploader. With her personality, she definitely wouldnt give up until she personally exposed the truth.
Should I scare her?
Or should I just come clean with her?
Dammit, my head hurts
After returning to the room as well, Little Peach noticed a mobile phone on the ground. She then picked it up and handed it to Chen Yu, saying, Mr. Chen, this is your second sisters. The screen seems to be broken.
Receiving the phone, Chen Yu gave it a quick look before tearing off the tempered glass screen protector. Its just the screen protector thats broken. The screen is fine.
Mr. Chen. Standing before Chen Yu, Little Peach put on a remorseful face and bowed, saying, Im sorry for making trouble for you. I really am useless as an assistant robot.
Its good that youre aware of it.
So, please let me be a romance simulation robot again. Licking her lips, Little Peach began removing her dress while saying, My favorability counter has long been filled. You can do whatever you want
Xing Biqi is so beautiful, Chen Yu said suddenly.
?
Shes much prettier than you.
Oh, how I wish to return to school soon so that I can spend time with her again.
How much favorability is left?
Sixty-eight. In a choked voice, Little Peach asked, Mr. Chen, cant you give me a chance? The important parts will rust if they remain unused for a long time
Standing up, Chen Yu patted Little Peach on the shoulder and said solemnly, Next time for sure.
After consoling his robot, Chen Yu took out a brand new tempered glass screen protector from his desk drawer. He then walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.
However, just as Chen Yu was about to apply the new screen protector on Chen Erkes phone, he accidentally turned on the screen. Immediately, he saw that the phones wallpaper was actually a photo of himself!
What the? When did she take this?
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at Chen Erke, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, in surprise. He then hurriedly swiped his finger across the screen, only to discover that the phone was locked with a four-digit code.
Driven by his intense curiosity and sense of responsibility as a brother, he decided to inspect Chen Erkes phone.
Hence, he began trying different passwords.
First, he began with Chen Erkes birthday.
0615Error.
The end of her phone number.
0067Error.
Her year of birth.
2013Error
Seeing that he only had two attempts remaining, Chen Yu frowned. He then began considering whether he should get Little Peach to use software to crack the lock.
Hmm Lets try this?
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu entered his own birthday.
0808Correct!
The phone instantly unlocked, revealing a bunch of applications designed for children.
Erm This girl
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Chen Yu hurriedly swiped his finger across the screen and clicked into the phones photo album. Immediately, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
His reaction was because inside the photo album was row after row of photos, and 80% of them were photos of himself.
Moreover, they were all taken secretly
Somethings wrong here
Chen Yu subconsciously rubbed his faintly aching joints before tapping out of the photo album with his trembling finger. He then tapped into the phones web browser and inspected the browsing history. Immediately afterward, he felt a tingling pain in his eyes
Crap

Chapter 293 C Unhealthy Daily Life

[What kind of experience is it to have a rich and domineering brother?]
[How can I defeat a rival in love?]

Crap
After reading just a few entries, Chen Yu couldnt help but cover his burning eyes.
Turning off the phone, Chen Yu turned to look at the slumbering Chen Erke, his scalp turning numb all of a sudden. I treated you as my little sister, yet you actually want to
Chen Erke: Hu zzZ
No. Standing up, Chen Yu stared at the phone in his hand. His expression turning solemn, he declared, I cant let her come into contact with the nonsense on the internet anymore. I need to hide this thing.
After having such thoughts, Chen Yu abandoned his plan to stick a new screen protector on Chen Erkes phone. Instead, he made his way to the bathroom and hid the phone behind the toilet. Afterward, he pulled out his own phone, went online, and began purchasing all sorts of educational books such as Our Body, Childrens Health Concepts, Natures Wonderful Story, Cherish Life, Dont Kiss Me Casually, Dont Walk with Strangers Casually, Stay Away from Big Brother, etc
Eight years old is no longer a young age. I have to properly teach her so that she can establish a correct outlook on life. After finishing his shopping, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom, closed the door, and lay on the bed. He then exclaimed, I really am a role model among elder brothers
Twenty minutes later, Chen Erke was the first to wake up among the Chen familys unconscious members. As she sat up on the sofa in a daze, the first thing she did was to search for her phone.
However, even after searching under her pillow, the coffee table, and the sofa, she ended up with nothing.
Huh? Wheres my phone?
Chen Erke sobered up instantly. She then began running around the living room, searching for her phone in a panic.
Huh?! Where did my phone go?!
Sis! After searching the living room a few times and ending up with nothing, Chen Erke approached Chen Yikes room and knocked on the door. Big Sis, did you see my phone?
No sound came from inside the room.
Growing anxious, Chen Erke ran to Chen Yus room and shouted, Brother! Did you see my phone? Its missing!
Click.
Chen Yu opened the door, poked his head out of the gap, and looked Chen Erke up and down. Lost your phone?
Its gone! I dont know where it went, Chen Erke said, sobbing. Its gone.
Heh. Serves you right. I dont know anything.
Bang!
After saying so, Chen Yu cruelly slammed the door shut and locked it.
Uu~
With tears in her eyes, Chen Erke mumbled to herself, M-My phones gone
Taking a look around, Chen Erke bit her lip and ran to the master bedroom. She then shook Mother Chen awake and asked, Mom! Did you take my phone away?
W-What phone? Yawning, Mother Chen said, Dont bother me. I dont know.
What about you? Were you the one who took my phone? Give it back to me! Chen Erke demanded as she shook Chen Sanke awake. Return my phone!
Phone? Shutting her eyes tightly, Chen Sanke sucked on her thumb while mumbling, W-What phone?
My phone! Chen Erke shouted.
Get out! Mother Chen sat up abruptly and scolded, Dont you know its impolite to wake others up? Your little sister is still young! What will you do if you scared her?!
Mom! I-I lost my phone.
Cant you just call it?
I-I dont have a SIM card.
Serves you right. Get out, Mother Chen said as she laid back on the bed and covered herself with her quilt in annoyance.
Uu
Walking out of the bedroom while sobbing, Chen Erke sat on the sofa and rummaged through it once more. When she still failed to find her phone, she finally couldnt help it and began wailing loudly.
However, shortly after she began crying, she noticed the husky resting in the living rooms corner. Immediately, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly stumbled forward. She then grabbed the dog by its ear and shouted, Wake up! Hey!
Woof? The husky slowly opened its dog eyes.
Wake up! Find my phone! Use your nose to find my phone!
Woof?
Hurry up! Arent you a dog? Chen Erke cried while slapping the huskys head. Quick! My phone is missing
Woof!
Realization dawning upon it, the huskys mouth curled up pridefully, and a flash of wisdom appeared in its eyes. It then stood up, raised its nose, and began sniffing the air while walking forward.
Seeing this, Chen Erke stopped crying immediately. She then began following after the dog in anticipation.
Shortly afterward, the husky arrived inside the bathroom. After sniffing around the bathroom for a moment, it quickly found the phone hidden behind the toilet.
Woof!
The husky wagged its tail in excitement. It then picked up the phone with its mouth and placed it on the floor in front of Chen Erke.
My phone! Chen Erke couldnt help but be stunned momentarily. She then picked up her phone and unlocked the screen. After finding no damage to her phone, she hugged the husky excitedly while shouting, Y-You found it! You found it! Thank you, Pikachu!
Woof. The husky raised its head, a grin appearing on its face.
At this time, Chen Yu, who had heard the commotion, came walking over. After taking a look at the phone in Chen Erkes hand, he turned to look at the husky. He then asked in a deep tone, You found your phone?
I found it! Chen Erke answered as she raised her phone excitedly. It was behind the toilet! Pikachu helped me find it! Its amazing!
Woof. (Piece of cake.)
Chen Yu stared at the husky expressionlessly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, Why would your phone be hidden behind the toilet?
Huh? Stunned, Chen Erke said, I dont know?
Think carefully. Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu said, Who would do something as meaningless as placing your phone behind the toilet?
Who?
The answer is right in front of you. Sneering, Chen Yu said, This naughty guy first hid your phone, then helped you find it so that you will be grateful to it and feed it good food. What a good plan. You, on the other hand, got played by it like a fool.
Hearing this, Chen Erke subconsciously turned to look at the husky. I-It was the dog?
What do you think?
The husky: Woof the fuck?
So it was you! Enraged, Chen Erke sent a slap flying at the huskys face.
Slap!
Awoo
Dont run! Picking up the nearby mop, Chen Erke chased after the husky while shouting, I knew it! Aside from dogs, who else couldve hidden my phone?!
Chen Yu: ???
Chen Yu stood still in a daze for a long time, his complexion gradually darkening as time passed. Eventually, he decided to take coercive measures. Walking out of the bathroom, he grabbed Chen Erke and snatched over her phone.
What are you doing, Brother?
I suddenly feel that youre spending too much time on your phone, so I intend to confiscate it for a while. Ill return it to you if you study hard and perform well.
Brother, stop joking around! Give it to me!
Im not joking.
This is theft!
I bought the phone. I naturally have the right to take it back.
Uu
Its no use crying. Chen Yu remained firm in his decision. Ever since you got your phone, youve been obsessed with it. You havent even touched your crayons recently, right? You didnt even do your homework. Its about time you learn what moderation is.
After saying so, Chen Yu ignored his crying little sister and returned to his room with her phone. He then locked the door without hesitation.
Bang! Bang!
Brother! Open the door!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ill definitely be moderate in the future! Uu
Ignoring Chen Erkes cries, Chen Yu tossed the phone to the table and sat on his bed.
Hurriedly receiving the phone, Little Peach listened to the yelling outside the door before hesitantly asked, Mr. Chen, your second sister is crying. Is that fine?
Let her cry. School is starting soon, yet she hasnt done any of her homework. How can that be considered the attitude of a student? Wont she fail in her studies at this rate? Why is she even going to school if shes not there to study?
H-Have you done your homework?
Fuck! Chen Yu exploded in anger.
Following this
No matter how much noise Chen Erke made outside his room, Chen Yu did not return her phone to her. During dinner time, Father Chen, Mother Chen, Chen Yike, and Chen Erke also expressed their support in his actions.
Even the husky chose to stand against Chen Erke.
Chen Yu guessed that if he were to return Chen Erke her phone now, the contents of her search history might become How can I kill my brother?, Why cant the creatures known as elder brothers just die?, etc
Hah I wasted the whole day without doing anything proper.
Lying on his bed, Chen Yu raised his watch and swiped his finger across the screen to inspect the points he earned from todays official livestream.
In total, he had gained 43.26 million viewers from the ten livestream rooms, which netted him 4,326 points!
Including the 103 points he had leftover
His points now totaled 4,429!
If it was half a year ago, Chen Yus excitement wouldve definitely shot through the roof. However, after being baptized by the two large numbers from before, the threshold for his excitement had been raised by a lot.
Now, he would, at most, reveal a faint smile.
Buzz!
Just as Chen Yu was about to habitually visit the Transdimensional Store, the phone beside him suddenly vibrated.
The Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff?
Chen Yus spirits sharpened. Immediately, he picked up his phone and opened up the WeChat application.
He had set his WeChat to mute all messages he received. The only exception to this was the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, are you there?]
[Chen Yu: Did my access level get promoted?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You guessed it!]
YES!
After rubbing his palms together excitedly, Chen Yu quickly typed a reply.
[Chen Yu: Is there even a need to guess this? Regardless, now that Ive been promoted to C-rank, are there any special rewards for me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The reward is the product I mentioned before. The one that could possibly destroy the solar system.]
[Chen Yu: Will it be arriving on the next official livestream?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Not yet. Your current defensive capabilities are still too poor. You might die if you receive it in the next episode. You might even drag Earth into the mess.]
[Chen Yu: Dammit, what the hell is that thing?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youll find out when the time comes. This time, I am mainly here to inform you about your promotion. Now that your access level has reached C-, all online broadcasting platforms will host your livestream.]
[Chen Yu: What about 18+ platforms?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: They will broadcast it as well, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: I suddenly have a bold idea.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Keep thinking about it then, Mr. Chen. I wish you a happy life. Goodbye.]
[Chen Yu: Wait a minute! Have you already sent in the application for my next product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We have already completed the application procedures. Please rest assured that our team has applied the most excellent available for you!]
[Chen Yu: How excellent is it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Fine. I look forward to it. Thanks for your hard work.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: No problem, Mr. Chen. Our interests are aligned. We will naturally be happy if we can secure a good product for you.]
[Chen Yu: How happy are you exactly?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
Exiting WeChat and locking his phone, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief and laid down on the bed contentedly.
The words most excellent had filled his mind with fanciful thoughts.
Along with the increase in his access level, advanced technological products like the Oscillating Planet Smasher would appear more frequently. He couldnt help but wonder if, when he reached B-rank or A-rank in access level, would something like the dual-vector foil appear.
After losing himself in his thoughts for some time, Chen Yu raised his watch once more and entered the Transdimensional Store, resuming the task he hadnt finished from before.
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products]
[Refresh complete]
However, unlike before, the first three items in the Transdimensional Store this time were no longer fraudulent. Just the first product alone was plenty amazing.
In fact, it was so impressive that Chen Yus eyes widened, and goosebumps rose all over his body!
Simultaneously, a biting cold instantly spread across his entire body

[1. Civilizations Shining Moment, April 2106 Edition: This editions main theme is NASAs KIC 8462852 Star Observation Report. This journals publication has caused a huge impact and revolutionary changes on the economic, social, and cultural structure of human civilization. This is an extremely important publication in human history. This journal is the April 2106 Edition. The selling price is 100 points.]
After quickly browsing through the first products description, Chen Yus brain focused on the words impact and change. Simultaneously, his pupils also expanded in surprise.
Its this thing again?
After searching through his memories, Chen Yu remembered that the Civilizations Shining Moment journal was the contributor that led him to discover the existence of a black hole in the solar system in advance, thereby saving Earth from the misfortune of being hit by an asteroid.
The next moment, Chen Yu purchased the journal without hesitation.
Let alone 100 points, even if the journal cost 1,000 or 10,000 points, he would still choose to buy it.
[110 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 4,226]
A line of text flashed past his watchs screen.
Simultaneously, a space-time wormhole opened up in his room. An elongated delivery box then emerged from the wormhole and fell on the floor, sending fine dust flying into the air.
You started redeeming goods? Little Peach was immediately attracted by the noise. Hurriedly, she jumped off the chair, crouched before the delivery box, and carefully observed it. Is it a toy?
Its not a toy.
Chen Yu shook his head with a solemn expression on his face. After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, he quickly stepped forward and removed the boxs seal. He then pulled out a familiar journal from the box.
Compared to the February 2041 Edition, the April 2106 Edition was slightly thicker. At a glance, it had around 150 pages. As for the page size, it was still A3 in size.
Without delay, Chen Yu tore away the exquisite plastic packaging used to wrap around the journal. He then flipped open to the first page and began browsing its contents.
Meanwhile, similar to the previous instance, Chen Yu felt a biting cold spread across his entire body as soon as he finished reading the first page!
Mr. Chen, is something going to happen again? Little Peach keenly noticed Chen Yus strange reaction. She then stepped forward and asked curiously, Did another black hole fly into the solar system?
Are you itching for a beating? One black hole is already plenty astonishing, alright?
What happened, then? Is it something even scarier than a black hole?
The problem this time isnt scary. Instead After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu looked down at the page and scratched the tip of his nose. After racking his brain to find an adjective, he said, Instead, itsthrilling.
Thrilling?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded. He then flipped to the second page and said, Ill need to read more to find out about the details. Dont disturb me for now.
After saying so, Chen Yu continued immersing himself in the journals contents.
Perhaps the journal had adopted the principle of first popularizing science and then recording, but this journals layout was similar to the one before. Aside from there being a large amount of texts, there were also dozens of analysis diagrams available. These diagrams allowed Chen Yu to gain an accurate and thorough understanding of the subject without having to strain his brain.
Two hours later
Chen Yu closed the journal, walked up to the window, and looked up at the night sky thoughtfully.
Mr. Chen, can I take a look at it as well? Little Peach asked eagerly as she pointed at herself. If it is related to astronomy, I can understand it now as well. Ive learned plenty of astronomy knowledge already.
It has a lot to do with astronomy. After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu handed the journal to Little Peach and said, Read it later. For now, edit todays official livestream and publish it to the various platforms at 9 AM tomorrow. Afterward, make an announcement on the ten broadcasting platforms stating that well be hosting an additional livestream next Sunday.
Well hold an additional livestream next Sunday?
Mhm.
Okay! Little Peach nodded. However, she then asked in confusion, By the way, didnt your access level get upgraded? Why are you still limited to just ten platforms?
I only received advanced notice of the promotion. Ill need to wait until the next official livestream before the change takes place officially.
Oh! Bringing the journal to the table, Little Peach asked, Mr. Chen, what about the title? What should I write?
Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu said, The Calamity Thats Around the Corner.
Huh? Is such a titlefine?
Well use this. Chen Yu nodded. Although its somewhat of a clickbait since this problem doesnt pose a threat to humanity, there is nothing wrong in treating it with caution. Moreover
Moreover, what?
Its related to NASAs stupid actions. Its about time we clean up after them
After seeing Little Peach typing away at her keyboard, Chen Yu calmed his emotions and sat back on his bed. He then resumed browsing the next product on the Transdimensional Store.
[2. Windbreaker: Produced by the Adidas Sportswear Company in 2676. The Windbreaker is mainly made of CVC fabric. Two multi-function sensors and one anti-magnetic anti-gravity generator are set up in every square centimeter of the fabric to keep the wearer suspended in the air. The wearer can achieve a flying speed that is 1.76 times the wind speed of the surrounding environment. It is not possible to fly in the opposite direction of the wind. This product is officially designated for the 100,000-meter obstacle-free gliding event for the 2680 Olympics. The selling price is 1,200 points.]
Anti-magnetic anti-gravity generator?
The Windbreakers description and functionality did not attract Chen Yus attention. However, it was a different story for the so-called anti-magnetic anti-gravity generator.
According to the knowledge he had learned in recent times and the instruction of the Oscillating Planet Smasher he read this morning, he naturally understood what anti-gravity was.
To put it simply, gravity was created by attraction.
Meanwhile, the magnitude of gravity was the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration of gravity.
Therefore, the so-called anti-gravity was to give an object a force that was different from gravity to defy gravity. Strictly speaking, airplanes, rockets, and maglev trains could be considered to have applied the use of anti-gravity.
However, the anti-gravity the masses spoke of generally referred to advanced technologies that involved gravitational waves.
Meanwhile, the anti-gravity method the Windbreaker applied was a device called the anti-magnetic generator. No such term existed in Chen Yus knowledge reserves currently, and he couldnt help but grow interested in the Windbreaker.
Unknowingly, Chen Yus way of thinking had gradually shifted from an ordinary person to a veteran reviewer who was curious about science and technology
After suppressing his impulse to purchase the Windbreaker, Chen Yu slid his finger across the screen and moved on to the third product.
[3. Universal Toothpaste: Produced by the Colgate Daily Products Company in 2533. Stored in a gelatinous container filled with inert gas. The main material used to manufacture the Universal Toothpaste is still fluoride, but a large number of composite materials and nanoparticles were added into the mix. This allows the toothpaste to effectively clean skin bores, brighten hair, stop bleeding, eliminate redness, neutralize acid poisons, relieve dizziness and headache, remove body odor, polish cars, removing rust and decontaminating metals, dissolving oil stains, and bleaching pottery, rocks, silverware, wood, glass, and metal surfaces. Aside from cleaning teeth, this product can do everything. The selling price is 920 points.]
Another crazy product came.
After briefly reading through the third products introduction, Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch and moved on to the fourth product.
[4. Mysterious Faucet: Produced by the Die from Addiction Company in 2708]
As soon as Chen Yu saw the product manufacturers name, he instinctively thought to move on to the next product. However, just as his finger was about to make contact with the screen, curiosity stopped him from doing so.
Lets see whats the limit for your company
Or, to put it in another way, what was the limit of the companys nonsensical imaginations
[4. Mysterious Faucet: Produced by the Die from Addiction Company in 2708. The faucet uses epoch-making gaseous induction and brain wave collection and fusion technology. It automatically analyzes whether the user needs to use the faucet. The faucets main body is made of carbon, and its surface is coated with a rhodium plating. The faucets height is 220mm, and the width is 196mm. This product does not spray water but sprays a liquid flame disguised as an ordinary stream of water, instantly melting the users hand and bringing surprises beyond ordinary peoples expectations. It is suitable to be used in restaurants, transportation stations, and high-end hotel toilets to improve the quality of customer experience. The selling price is 1,700 points.]
Screw you! This mentally retarded product Chen Yu couldnt help but curse out loud. He then stood up, walked out of his room, and washed his head at the bathroom sink.
For the sake of maintaining the fifth products quality, he needed to wash his brain and suppress his brain waves from wandering about
Ah
Three minutes later, Chen Yu walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair with a towel. Ignoring Chen Erke, who was silently sobbing on the sofa, he returned to his room and looked at the last product.
[5. Point Hubble Space Telescope: Put to use by NASA in 2105. It is designed specifically for observing stars within two thousand light-years. This telescope is capable of accurately capturing the detailed optical spectrum and scene of a stars surface through the help of the built-in quantum computers optical information simulation filling technology. As soon as this product was put to use, it has captured photos of the star surface photos of KIC 8462852, causing a global sensation. The following year, the telescope was included in the Civilizations Shining Moment journals information table. The selling price is 2,150 points.]
This thing
After reading the instructions several times carefully, Chen Yu thought, It seems the Transdimensional Store is going out of its way to select combination products for me to livestream The upcoming episodes performance should be guaranteed now
Mr. Chen! Little Peach suddenly cheered out loud. She then turned to look and Chen Yu and said, Ive finished drafting the announcement already. Do you want to take a look at it?
Returning to his senses, Chen Yu briefly watched through the edited video and nodded, Its good enough. Your language standards have risen sharply. Not bad.
Hehe. Blushing, Little Peach said, For you, I can do everything.
Everything except becoming smarter.
A night went by without anything happening.
However, a problem occurred the next day.
Chen Erke fell sick
She was suffering from a fever.
It was also a relatively severe fever.
At eight oclock in the morning, her body temperature had already risen to 37.7C.
When Chen Yu drowsily walked out of his bedroom under Mother Chens urging, he saw Chen Erke lying on the sofa with scarcely any breath left in her. Her breathing was so shallow that it looked as if she would croak at any moment
W-What the hell is going on here? Chen Yus mind cleared up immediately.
She seems to have caught a cold. Father Chen didnt even bother going to work today. Crouching beside his second daughter and taking her temperature, he frowned and said, It rose by another 0.05 degrees.
How high is it now? Chen Yu asked with a frown. He then stepped forward and placed his hand on Chen Erkes forehead.
Its 37.8 degrees now.
Crap! Awesome, awesome!
Chen Yu! Father Chen bellowed.
Ah, I meant to say it was serious, Chen Yu said, rubbing his face. Shes close to reaching 38 degrees already. We should take her to the hospital for a check-up.
Hearing this, Chen Sanke, who stood at a side, widened her eyes and raised her hand while suggesting, Q-Quarantine her!
Chen Sanke! Father Chen grew even more furious, his reaction causing Chen Sanke to shrink back in fear.
How did she catch such a bad fever?
Walking over with a glass of hot water, Mother Chen complained, Isnt it because you confiscated her phone yesterday? Her immune system mustve deteriorated from all that crying. Afterward, she caught a cold and ended up getting a fever.
Chen Yu:
Cough Hearing the voices around her, Chen Erke widened her eyes slowly and looked at Chen Yu. I Cough, cough
Shes coughing! Shes coughing! Chen Sanke shouted. We need to quarantine her!
Father Chen, Mother Chen, Chen Yu: Chen Sanke!!
Uu Frightened, Chen Sanke hurriedly stepped back.
Brother After sending her little sister a glare, Chen Erke struggled to stretch her left hand toward Chen Yu before saying, Big Brother, I I might be dying
Chen Yu:
Before I die, I still have a few wishes. I-I hope you can help your little sister fulfill them If you do, I wont have any regrets.
Did you turn stupid from your fever? You think youll die from a 37.8-degree fever? Wake up!
No. Mimicking the lines she learned from a TV drama series, Chen Erke said, I know my own body. Its no good anymore.
The Chen family:
Stuffing the thermometer into Chen Erkes armpit again, Father Chen said, Can you stop talking nonsense?
L-Let me speak. Big Brother, can you fulfill my wishes?
Third Eldest, go get the towel, Chen Yu shouted at Chen Sanke as he tossed away the ice pack on Chen Erkes forehead. He then gripped Chen Erkes hand and said, Fine. Out with it.
Thank you, Big Brother. My first wish is Her pupils dilating, Chen Erke said, I hope that you wont blame yourself after I die. This matter has nothing to do with you. Its my fault for being short-lived.
Girl, your fever is almost reaching 38 degrees. Can you stop with that strange behavior?
As your little sister I feel glad that you can still smile, Big Brother
Hurry up and tell me your second wish. Didnt you take your fever medicine already? If you dont tell me soon, your fevers going to disappear.
M-My second wish Revealing a pale smile, Chen Erke said, I hope that Mommy, Daddy, Big Sis, and Lil Sis wont blame yourselves. Although you didnt help me y-yesterday, I know you were doing it for my sake
The Chen family:
My third wish
You want your phone, right?
Uh I wont play with it. I just want to look at it and thank it for accompanying me throughout my life
After Chen Erke said so, tears suddenly leaked out from her eyes.
You actually moved yourself to tears.
After mumbling a complaint, Chen Yu stood up. However, just as he was about to return to his room to retrieve Chen Erkes phone, Chen Sanke came stumbling back into the living room.
Big Brother! I brought the towel.
Good girl.
After caressing Chen Sankes fluffy head, Chen Yu received the loaf of bread in her hands. She then took out a slice and placed it on Chen Erkes head. Mom, make sure to remember that you cannot use ice to combat fever next time. A wet towel isDammit! Why the hell did you bring me bread?!
Leaning forward, Chen Sanke flipped the slice of bread on Chen Erkes forehead and said, T-Toast bread.
Chen Sanke! Go away! Mother Chen, who was wiping her daughters body with a towel, bellowed. She couldnt help but have the urge to smack the towel on Chen Sankes face right now.
Leave, leave, leave! After pushing Chen Sanke away, Chen Yu picked up the slice of bread on Chen Erkes forehead. However, just as he was about to toss it away, he suddenly paused and said in a pleasant surprise, Hey, not a bad idea! This is killing two birds with one stone!
Chen Erke:
Chen Yu!!! x2

Chapter 295 C Surprising Additional Livestream (1)
I measured her three times. Her temperature really stopped rising. Placing the thermometer in Chen Yus hand, Father Chen put on his coat and picked up his cloth bag. He then instructed Chen Yu, Retake her temperature once every twenty minutes. If her temperature increases, give me a call. Ill come back and bring her to the hospital. Im off to work now.
Okay. After shaking the thermometer slightly, Chen Yu waved his hand at Father Chen and said, Dont worry. Just go to work.
Mhm.
After nodding, Father Chen opened the door and left.
After storing the thermometer back into the medicine box, Chen Yu stretched his hand and stroked Chen Erkes forehead. How do you feel? Are you still dizzy?
Im dizzy, Chen Erke said pitifully. Its terrible
You cant play with your phone if you have a bad headache.
Ah I dont feel so dizzy anymore.
Youre beyond saving.
Sighing, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom and dug around his bed, searching for Chen Erkes phone.
Mr. Chen, is your second sister sick? Little Peach asked as she crouched by the door and snuck a glance into the living room.
Mhm. She has a fever.
You can use that Fight Pillow on her.
Her fever isnt particularly bad. No need for that kind of trouble. After finding the phone, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Ill see how the situation goes later. If her fever persists, Ill smack her with the pillow. Speaking of which, I guess its time to improve my familys health.
Shutting the door, Chen Yu returned to the living room and tossed the phone back to Chen Erke. Little girl, you won this time. However, if you continue playing with your phone all day, Im confiscating your phone regardless of whether you are sick or not.
Mhm, mhm!
Chen Erke hurriedly nodded while hugging her phone tightly. Big Brother is the best. I love you.
Stop spouting nonsense and open up. After saying so, Chen Yu stuck the thermometer into Chen Erkes armpit.
Two minutes later, Chen Yu retrieved the thermometer. Immediately, a shocked expression appeared on his face. A-Are you god?! It returned to 37 degrees already?!
Hehehe Chen Erke responded with a dumb smile.
Did her temperature drop? Mother Chen, who was holding onto three wet towels, came running into the living room.
Mhm. As soon as she got her phone, her body temperature returned to normal. Placing the thermometer back into the medicine box, Chen Yu stretched his waist and said to Chen Erke, Little girl, youre too playful. Youre going to become a good-for-nothing soon.
You still have the gall to say that? You were the one who bought her the phone. Also, have you forgotten the times where you snuck out to internet cafes during grade school? How are you any better than your little sister?
Fine. You win. Im going to get some more sleep, so Im skipping breakfast. Dont disturb me.
After saying so, Chen Yu yawned and returned to his own room.
Click.
At this time, Chen Erke, who was wearing a down jacket, opened the security door from the outside. After shaking the snow off her body, she entered the house with a plastic bag in hand. I bought the medicine. How is Second Eldest?
In response to Chen Yikes question, the sound of kill announcements came from Chen Erkes phone.
Double Kill; Triple Kill
The days without livestreams hosted by Transdimensional Review passed by quickly.
During the past few days, many major incidents had occurred worldwide, and the global situation frequently changed.
Of the major incidents that occurred, the most important one would be when the Chinese government had sent people onto Mars
The first manned landing module, Wavebreaker, had even completed its orbiting operations already. With tons of fuel and supplies onboard, Wavebreaker flew straight towards Mars.
Three cargo spacecraft carrying construction materials and additional supplies for the astronauts also followed closely afterward.
For the masses who were unaware of Transdimensional Reviews existence, they were all stunned by this piece of news. None of them were able to figure out how the Chinese government managed to achieve all of these. They also couldnt understand why China, a country that had never even landed on the moon before, would head straight for Mars.
As for the tens of millions of insiders, they were all stunned by Chinas speed and efficiency.
After all, SpaceX, the company which had partnered with Chen Yu for the Mars colonization project, had only now formulated a feasible plan for the project. The company hadnt even finished allocating the necessary personnel for the project.
Evidently, China wanted the honor of being the first country to have people set foot onto Mars. Perhaps, this was also a means to test Chen Yus attitude
Unfortunately, Chen Yu couldnt understand the political games played by the various nations. He also couldnt be bothered to understand them. He simply settled himself into the position of a spectator, thoroughly ignoring the messages the SpaceX Company and American government were bombarding him with. He acted as if he had no idea about any of these matters.
Now, he had a much more important matter he needed to deal with
Opening the security door to his house, Chen Yu guided the two workers carrying a large box into the house. He then pointed at Chen Erkes room and said, Put it inside.
Okay. The two workers nodded.
Mother Chen, who was cooking in the kitchen, poked her head out when she heard the commotion. After scrutinizing the large box, she asked, Chen Yu, this Whats going on?
I bought a birthday present for Eldest.
What did you buy?
Its a secret. Youll find out when the time comes.
To give his eldest little sister a surprise, Chen Yu deliberately chose a time where all three of his little sisters had gone out shopping to pull this operation.
Lil Bro, isnt this room too small? Theres nowhere to put this thing, one of the workers said after setting down the box. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he gasped for air while saying, How about we put it
in the living room?
It can fit. Walking into Chen Yikes bedroom, Chen Yu picked up her study table and tossed it into the living room. There.
Oh? Lil Bro, youre quite strong, huh?
Its okay. After expending some effort to drag the box into the room, Chen Yu generously paid the 400-yuan transportation fee and said, Thank you for your hard work.
Youre welcome.
After the two workers left, Chen Yu struggled a little bit inside his eldest little sisters room before he finished unboxing and wrapping up the present he prepared. He then walked out of the room, picked up the study table outside, and carried it back to his own room.
Chen Yu, even if you made some money, you shouldnt spend it simply.
Mhm. Chen Yu answered perfunctorily. After settling everything, he patted the dust off his hands and asked, Mom, are you still investing in stocks recently?
Upon hearing the word investment, Mother Chens face paled instantly. What investment? Stocks are all scams.
You cant say such nonsense, Mom. Youll be jailed. Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu revealed an evil smirk on his face as he said, Ill send you another 20,000. Go buy whatever stock you want. Afterward, just tell me which stocks you bought. Your son has always believed in you. You are definitely a genius in the field of investment.
Dont transfer it to me. Im not doing it anymore. Ill definitely lose money.
Its fine. So long as youre happy, it doesnt matter even if you lose.
You Skeptically, Mother Chen asked, How much money do you have now? You dont even care about 20,000 yuan?
Click.
Just as Chen Yu was about to give a reply, the security door opened. Chen Yike then entered the house together with her two little sisters. Were back.
Big Brother, hug! Without even taking off her shoes, Chen Sanke immediately dashed up to Chen Yu and hugged his legs.
Good girl. Caressing Chen Sankes head, Chen Yu looked at Chen Erke and asked, Did you play with your phone on your way back?
Nope! Chen Erke shook her head vehemently while holding onto a birthday cake.
Heh. Stepping forward, Chen Yu stretched his hand into Chen Erkes pocket.
Sure enough, Chen Erkes phone was still warm.
Good. You treated my words as farts. Just you wait.
I-I didnt play with it! Stepping backward, Chen Erke said, Cant you see me holding the cake? How can I play with my phone without any free hands?
She walked with the cake on her head! Chen Sanke exposed her elder sister, mercilessly.
Chen Sanke! Didnt I say I would give you half of my share if you kept your mouth shut?!
Oh I forgot.
Youre amazing, Second Eldest. Chen Yu couldnt help but give Chen Erke a thumbs up. You actually developed your body to such an extent just so you can play with your phone.
Hehe Its not actually that amazing, Chen Erke said, blushing as she put down the cake.
Im not praising you!!
With the Chen familys four young masters gathered together, the house immediately regained its liveliness. When nighttime arrived, the whole family sat around the dining table and prepared for dinner.
Eldest, its your birthday today. Did you prepare a present for me? Mother Chen asked as she filled up her cup with beer.
Huh? Stunned, Chen Yike asked, Isnt it my birthday? Why should I give you a present?
The day of a childs birth is the day of a mothers suffering. If I hadnt suffered, where would you be now? Isnt it only right you give me a present on this day?
Stunned, Chen Yu said, It makes sense!
Chen Yike was rendered speechless momentarily. Suddenly, she leaned forward and gave Mother Chen a kiss. I love you, Mommy. How will this do as a present?
Unable to hold back her smile, Mother Chen said, Not bad, not bad. Ill let you off the hook.
Mommy! Raising her hand, Chen Sanke said, M-My birthday is coming soon as well. Ill give you a kiss at that time.
Good girl.
Putting down her phone, Chen Erke said, Mom, Ill give you a kiss too.
Good girl.
Nodding, Chen Yu said, In that case, Ill give you a kiss as well.
However, Mother Chens expression froze immediately. She then subconsciously grabbed the rolling pin from the kitchen counter and asked, What are you going to give me?
Ill give you my life
After the lively family ate until they were 70% full, they took out the cake, set it on the table, and decorated it with candles.
Eldest, make a wish. Chen Yu said after lighting the candles with a lighter.
Okay.
Nodding, Chen Yike closed her eyes and clasped her hands.
I hope I can have a piano of my own
Fuuh! After making her wish, Chen Yike blew out the candles and cheered, Yay! Its coming true!
Big Sis, what did you wish for? Chen Sanke asked.
I cant tell you. It wont come true if I do. Standing up, Chen Yike picked up a long knife and divided the cake into seven servings. She then gave the largest serving to Father Chen, who sat silently in a corner, and said, Dad, eat some cake. Why dont you have any sense of presence?
I cant help it if the camera isnt directed at me, Father Chen said, sighing. After he accepted the cake and took a bite, a complicated expression appeared on his face as he said, My little girl has grown up.
Mom, heres yours.
Second Eldest, heres yours. This smaller one is yours, Third Eldest. Also this one is Pikachus
Big Sis. Raising her fork, Chen Sanke said to Chen Erke, Half of your cake is mine.
Are you dreaming? Chen Erke said, sneering.
You said you would give me half when we were buying the cake!
That was on the condition you didnt run your mouth. Now that youve betrayed me, you still want cake? After saying so, Chen Erke stuffed the whole piece of cake into her mouth and chewed vigorously as if venting her anger.
You ate my cake! Chen Sanke pouted.
Its mine. None of it is yours. What? Do you want to fight? Im already a taekwondo master. You can try if you want.
I-Ill try it, then!
This last piece Ignoring the quarrel between her two little sisters, Chen Yike picked up the second largest piece of cake and handed it to Chen Yu. She then revealed a dazzling smile and said, Brother, thank you.
Thank me for what?
Although you always bully me With blushing cheeks, Chen Yike leaned into Chen Yus ears and whispered, I know youre the one who understands me and treats me the best.
Ah. Chen Yus cheeks reddened for the first time.
However, I will definitely unveil your secret!
Whose secret?
Your secret!
After everyone ate their cake, the birthday celebration also came to an end.
Subsequently, the Chen family sat in the living room and conversed with each other until ten oclock in the evening before returning to their respective rooms.
In a good mood, Chen Yike hummed a small tune as she returned to her room. However, when she turned on the lights and was about to change into her sleepwear, her eyes were attracted to the pink curtain in the corner of the room.
Meanwhile, a small card sat in the middle of the curtain.
[Happy Birthday.]
Covering her mouth, Chen Yike subconsciously realized what was hidden under the curtain
Reaching out, she grabbed a corner of the curtain with her trembling hand. And after taking a deep breath, she pulled hard!
Whoosh.
An exquisite, white piano entered her vision.
Brother
Three days later.
Sunday, 8:44 AM:
Due to the announcement post Chen Yu had Little Peach make, todays additional livestream became the focus of attention all over the world.
Be it government leaders or ordinary civilians, everyone was quietly sitting before their screens and waiting for the start of the livestream.
Everyone was nervous that a disaster similar to the black hole incident from last time would occur again.
Or maybe
Something even worse.
New York, United Nations Headquarters, Observer Conference Hall:
Bang.
The doors to the hall opened. Followed by his subordinates, the middle-aged team leader from China walked into the hall in a hurry. After greeting everyone present, he sat down on the seat reserved exclusively for Chinas representative.
Dear Chinese representatives, youre late again.
Its 8:45 AM. There are still 15 minutes until the usual broadcasting time. We hadnt arrived late, Big Sis Wu, who stood behind the middle-aged team leader, said, smiling as she pushed against her glasses.
We have already notified you that we would hold a meeting before Transdimensional Reviews livestream starts, Americas representative said expressionlessly. When I said late, I was referring to that meeting. Does your side only know how to be quick when grabbing honor but procrastinate when doing actual business?
Sorry, but we have clearly stated our refusal to participate in that meeting, the middle-aged team leader said, casually dealing with the other partys smack talk. While flipping through the documents in his hand, he continued, As for the honor-grabbing you mentioned, Im sorry, but I dont quite understand it. We are only responsible for dealing with events related to Transdimensionals UP. If you have any questions, you can find the Chinese Ambassador in Building A.
Lets not talk about these meaningless things, Frances representative said. We should take advantage of this time to discuss what Transdimensionals UP is referring to by calamity.
There is a lack of information, so we wont reach any useful results with our discussion. Placing down his documents, the middle-aged team leader leaned against his seat and shrugged, saying, Transdimensional Reviews announcement only consists of a hundred words or so, and it has not divulged any useful information. There is no meaning for any discussions. The most important thing we need to do is to prepare to stabilize and counteract the problem.
Hearing this, Americas representative opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could say anything, the assistant behind him suddenly leaned forward and whispered into his ears, Director, Transdimensionals UP has finally replied to SpaceXs messages.
Really? The representatives face tightened at his assistants words. What did he reply?
He replied: Sorry, I just saw it.
What else?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing

Chapter 296 C Surprising Additional Livestream (2)
Morning, 8:55 AM:
Lanhe District, Chen familys abode:
Stay at home for todays review as well, Chen Yu said to Little Peach as he manipulated the Interstellar Portals console. Im going to space, so you cant follow me anyway. Also, Chen Yike will definitely come knocking on the door once the livestream begins.
I understand, Little Peach answered in a disappointed tone.
Remember; dont be deceived again. Be more careful.
Understood!
After picking up the Civilizations Shining Moment journal on the table and the white delivery box it came with, Chen Yu turned around and looked at his room one last time. After verifying that he hadnt forgotten anything, he stepped through the portal and arrived in the Super Floating Castles Headmasters Tower.
Do not get found out by Chen Yike no matter what. If you find that the situation is amiss, you can take the initiative to attack.
Take the initiative to attack?
Yes! Take the initiative to attack!
I understand, Mr. Chen! I wont get tricked again this time! Little Peach assured as she raised the Amnesia Bat in her hand. Since youve given me this, everything will be fine.
Alright. Ill place my full trust in you one more time.
Please rest assured.
After disconnecting the spatial link, Chen Yu transformed the portals appearance into a metal arch. Afterward, he looked at the time before setting down the journal and delivery box on the ground. He then walked into the study located on the left side of the main hall.
Rumble
Chen Yu entered the studys secret room. He then quickly entered the protective suits maintenance pot and changed into the purple protective clothing.
Next, accompanied by a clear mechanical transmission sound, a pair of mechanical arms swayed rapidly before him and installed pieces of white armor all over his body.
Click!
Breastplate.
Click!
Backplate.
Click!
Armguard
Under the mechanical arms quick work, the protective suit that consisted of several hundred different components was installed properly over Chen Yus body.
Squeak
The maintenance pods door opened slowly, and a cooling white mist escaped through the gaps created. Chen Yu then stepped out of the pod.
By the time Chen Yu returned to the Interstellar Portal, he guessed that the time should already be close to nine oclock. Immediately, he activated the livestream rooms without hesitation.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Bilibili, DouYu, YoutubeNiconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
As soon as Chen Yu opened access to the livestream rooms, the total viewer count began rapidly rising from zero. In the blink of an eye, the number had already exceeded 40 million!
Chen Yu couldnt help but feel his scalp tingle when he saw his programs popularity. At this moment, the amount of attention he was receiving as an individual could already be ranked within the top ten worldwide.
[Its here!]
[First!]
[True Number 1.]
[Youre late by six seconds! 40 million people waited for you for six seconds! Added together, you wasted 7 years in total! UP, do you acknowledge your sin?]
[Is that the protective suit? Its so cool.]
[All rise!]
[The Earth is dying again.]
[Host, hurry up and tell us what the calamity is. Ive already found a buyer for my house.]
[Ever since the UP appeared, Earth has met with many disasters. ( ????)]
[February 21, 2021 C Celebrate the first anniversary of the victory against pneumonia]
After waiting for half a minute and seeing that the increase in viewer count had slowed down, Chen Yu lowered his hand and faced the camera. He then made his opening remarks in a solemn tone. Greetings, friends. This is Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream.
After seeing this journal in my hand, Im sure veteran viewers should know what is going to happen. Yes, todays additional livestream will be similar to the time the black hole was discovered. There isnt going to be an interactive event. There wont be any product reviews either. I just wished to tell everyone some matters.
Different from last time, the urgency of the matter this time isnt particularly high. It is far from being as dangerous as a black hole. Even so, it is still worthy of our vigilance. And by my guess, once this incident is exposed, it may cause an impact of an unknown magnitude that is mixed with pros and cons to human society.
However, as Ive said before, as we are all human beings living on Earth, everyone has the right to know of this incident. I think that as a transdimensional reviewer, I have the responsibility to tell everyone of this matter and let humans be prepared in advance.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the journal and opened it before the camera.
Civilizations Shining Moment. Ive introduced it before, so I wont repeat it again today. Its reappearance today has brought us a piece of news that hovers between good and bad.
The journal I hold is the April 2106 Edition. It reports on a major astronomical discovery made in 2105. Meanwhile, this discovery has been speculated as early as 2011. By 2019, this speculation was spread across a small range of academic circles in the astronomy circles. However, knowingly or unknowingly, the various governments have constantly kept this information suppressed.
Bang.
Closing the journal, Chen Yus gaze sharpened. The global astronomical scientific research industry and the various upper-level government officials or related personnel, Im sure you should have the answer in your heart.
[I get the feeling that this is a grave matter]
[What the hell is it? Does anyone know?]
[Is the host holding the governments accountable? How cool!]
[The world can die for all I care! We want the female assistant! Its been so long since weve seen her! Nothing happened to her, right?]
[Dont worry. She might be pregnant for all we know.]
[Im working in the astronomy industry, but I have no idea what the host is talking about. There are too many government restrictions. Which one are you talking about?]
[Someone, come drag the guy above to the gallows]
Simultaneously, inside the distant Observer Conference Hall
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, discussions erupted all over the hall.
Wearing a heavy expression, the middle-aged team leader quickly manipulated the tablet before him. At the same time, he looked toward Big Sis Wu and asked, Little Wu, what is Transdimensionals UP talking about?
Please wait. Sweat covering her forehead, Big Sis Wu busily exchanged opinions and information with the team beside her. After a short moment, several dozen files appeared on her tablet. She then presented her tablet to the middle-aged team leader and said, Leader, these are the only files we managed to get with our current authority.
There are so many concealed astronomical events? Dont we have a more concrete answer?
Thisis only the tip of the iceberg.
Placing down the tablet, the middle-aged team leader put on a complicated expression as he said, Theres no way we can check, then
Super Floating Castle, Headmasters Tower:
Pulling a chair over and sitting on it, Chen Yu faced the camera and flipped to the journals fifth page. He then showed a photo, which covered the entire page, to the camera. That was a picture of a star.
If we want to understand what the so-called calamity is, we need to turn time back to 2009. That year, we discovered a star labeled KIC 8462852. The official name is Boyajians Star, or commonly known as Tabbys Star.
It is located in the constellation Cygnus, which is about 1,480 light-years away from Earth. It is roughly halfway between the bright stars Deneb and Delta Cygni as part of the Northern Cross. Those interested can use a five-inch telescope on a light-free night to get a clear observation of it.
In the early days, this main-sequence star with an absolute magnitude of 3.08 did not garner anyones attention. That is, until 2011 when a few astronomers discovered the strangeness of this star
[Crap! I know what it is now!]
[I know it too. But no one suppressed this information, right?]
[Hiding falsehoods within truths is the best form of concealment./]
[What the heck are you guys talking about?]
[Is that star going to explode? Will it affect Earth?]
[I just searched it on the internet Damn! This is super-big news!]
[This isnt a scary piece of news! This is a pleasant surprise!]
[I am similarly pleasantly surprised! This is too exciting!]
[Seriously, what the heck are you guys talking about]
The moment Chen Yu uttered the words Tabbys Star, the astronomical researchers watching the livestream were shocked. Immediately afterward, stormy waves surged in their minds.
Simultaneously, chaos had also fallen in New Yorks Observer Conference Hall. The noise in the hall had very nearly cracked the ceiling.
It seems Lifting his watch and looking at the bullet comments flowing across the screen, Chen Yu pointed at the picture on the journal and said in a low tone, Many people have already understood what Im trying to say.
As for the friends who dont understand what Im saying, no need to search the internet for answers. I will now give you the answer
Chapter 297 - The Most Improbable Possibility! Intelligent Creation!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 297 C The Most Improbable Possibility! Intelligent Creation!
Chen Yike sat on the living room sofa as she stared at her phone. When she saw Chen Yus figure appearing on the screen, her eyes lit up immediately.
It finally started!
Chen Yike stood up abruptly. After starting the screen recording software on her phone, she carefully placed her phone on the table and picked up a rubber chicken. She then made her way toward Chen Yus room.
Big Sis, what are you doing? Chen Erke, who was playing with her phone while lying on the sofa, asked.
Shh!
After making a shushing gesture, Chen Yike walked out of the living room and arrived before Chen Yus bedroom. She then listened carefully for any movement inside the room.
Big Sis, what exactly are you doing?
Im exposing a big secret?
What? Chen Erke reacted in surprise.
Shh. Stop speaking and stand behind me.
Okay!
Huh? Chen Yike suddenly fell into a daze. Dont you think this scene is a little familiar?
How is it familiar?
Its a bit like reading a novel. Its like an author rewriting a plot that has been mentioned before
Really? I dont feel anything strange.
Am I just overthinking things? Chen Yike mumbled as she stuck her ear to the door. After failing to hear any noise coming from the room, she smirked and held up the rubber chicken.
If Chen Yu was inside the room, he would definitely be frightened once she squeezed the rubber chicken.
However, if there was no reaction coming from the room even after she squeezed the rubber chicken, this proved that there wasnt anybody inside the room!
Second Eldest, cover your ears. Dont be afraid, Chen Yike whispered.
Are you playing a prank? Licking her lips, Chen Erke covered her ears excitedly.
Three.
Two.
One!
Cuckoo!!!
The rubber chicken cried out loudly.
However, the next moment, the door actually opened without warning!
You Before Chen Yike could react, a bat came descending from above and landed squarely on her head.
Thud.
Upon seeing Chen Yike collapsing, Little Peach hurriedly raised the Amnesia Bat and sent it smacking into Chen Erkes head.
Thump!
Thud!
Chen Erke also lost consciousness and collapsed limply to the ground while still covering her ears with her hands
Bending down and picking up the rubber chicken, Little Peach said in admiration, Mr. Chen mustve expected this, right? Amazing.
W-Who are you?! What are you doing?!
After hearing the commotion, Mother Chen came walking out of the master bedroom. When she saw Little Peach standing before her two unconscious daughters, shock immediately colored her face.
Whoosh!
As if teleporting, Little Peach arrived beside Mother Chen in a flash. She then sent Mother Chen collapsing with a smack. Take the initiative to attack!
Afterward, Little Peach proceeded with knocking Chen Sanke and the husky unconscious as well. She then rested her hands on her hips and said in delight, I am truly reliable
At the same time
Super Floating Castle, Headmasters Tower:
Chen Yu solemnly explained everything about Tabbys Star to his audience.
As we all know, if a star has planets revolving around it, then when these planets block the star, they would cause the stars luminosity to drop. This phenomenon is called a transit. Modern astronomers use the transit method to obtain information such as whether there are planets in a star system, how many planets are there in the star system, and the mass of the planets.
However, under normal circumstances, a stars luminosity would only drop by around 1%, with some cases being even lower.
Yet, strangely enough, KIC 8462852, or Tabbys Star, has seen a drop in luminosity by as much as 22%! This is completely beyond common sense. According to existing star systems models, a stars luminosity cant drop by such a drastic degree.
Hence, after 2011, the astronomy community has made some more authoritative hypothetical explanations for this phenomenon.
Flipping to the journals seventh page, Chen Yu then showed the page to the camera and said, The first hypothesis is that the star is surrounded by a cloud of disintegrating comets. After eliminating factors such as equipment and data problems, the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society believes that the Tabbys Stars luminosity may have declined because gravity from a nearby star caused comets from the Oort cloud to fall closer into the system, thereby obstructing the spectra of Tabbys Star.
The evidence to support this hypothesis is that there is indeed a red dwarf star 885 astronomical units away from Tabbys Star. It is very close and can affect comets in the Oort cloud region of Tabbys Star.
But then, in 2016, two Chinese astronomical agencies calculated and ruled out this hypothesis. The gas of Tabbys Stars comet cloud is disturbed by gravity; therefore, it should orbit the star in an elliptical orbit. The cloud simply doesnt have enough mass to cause the stars luminosity to decrease by 22%.
Chen Yu paused slightly, giving his audience ten seconds to process his words. He then flipped to the eighth page and continued, The second hypothesis is a collision between planets may have occurred around Tabbys Star, and the warm dust created would, in turn, block the stars light. However, a collision between planets would emit strong infrared light. Yet, even after the astronomical community has conducted several years of spectral energy distribution analysis through high-resolution spectrometers and the Nordic Optical Telescope in East Spain, no excessive infrared energy has been observed.
Hence, the planetary collision hypothesis can be ruled out as well.
Aside from these two hypotheses, there are still many other hypotheses with a much lower probability of being true. For example, instrument data errors, variable Be stars, companion stars, possession of protoplanetary disks, and so on.
Every hypothesis has plenty of evidence to prove it wrong.
Placing down the journal, Chen Yu looked at the camera, his tone growing deeper and deeper. This leaves us with only one seemingly ridiculous but impeccable hypothesis that can explain the drastic decline in Tabbys Stars brightness. Since 2015, more and more astronomers have tended to this hypothesis. Not because evidence proving it has been found, but because all other theories have been proven wrong.
As Sherlock Holmes once said, once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the answer.
Meanwhile, this answer isa civilizations creation!
[Crap!]
[Stop joking around]
[Why does this feel like a joke?]
[Many people in the industry really think so, and I am one of them. You guys might not understand it, but the various governments and astronomical circles worldwide are paying a lot of attention to this star!]
[I still dont quite get it. Does this mean there are aliens? Can they come here?!]
[Is it a Dyson sphere?]
[Its only a little over 1,400 light-years away. Its very close.]
[The more I think about it, the scarier it feels.]
[Exterminate human tyranny! The world belongs to Tabbys Star!]
After waiting for the bullet comments to settle down, Chen Yu lifted up the Civilizations Shining Moment journal once more. He then flipped to the tenth page and pointed at the photo of a white man. Speeding up his speech, he said, Many astronomers agree with the hypothesis of a civilizations creation blocking Tabbys Star. However, this person here is the first to publish a related professional paper. He is the astronomer Jason Wright of Pennsylvania State University. He is still active in the industry even now. In that paper, he hypothesized that Tabbys Stars luminosity change is very likely caused by a colossal structure built by an alien civilization. For example
The Dyson sphere.
Closing the journal, Chen Yu stood up and opened his arms. Jason Wright should also be watching my livestream at this time. Congratulations to you and Pennsylvania State University. Half of your reasoning is correct.
The non-periodical luminosity changes of Tabbys Star are indeed caused by a giant structure made by a certain intelligent life.
Next, I will present a series of undisputed evidence, including several new discoveries made in 2019, to prove your hypothesis.
As for the reason why I say only half of your hypothesis is correct
Stepping out of the cameras view, Chen Yu picked up the journals delivery box, which also came with an astronomical telescope from the 22nd century, and said, It is because this giant structure isnt the so-called Dyson sphere.
Instead

Chapter 298 C Mysterious Isosceles Triangle
Tabbys Stars non-periodic change in luminosity is indeed caused by the creation of some kind of intelligent life.
At Chen Yus words, silence spread across the originally chaotic Observer Conference Hall.
The bullet comments in the ten livestream rooms also momentarily dwindled.
At this time, everyone watching the livestream was trying to digest this information that shattered their world views.
Although most scholars and ordinary people were certain that humans werent the only intelligent life in the vast universe, they still couldnt help but be shocked when their conjectures were proven right.
Lifting his watch and looking at the bullet comments, Chen Yu stood still and waited for some time. After guessing that everyone had recovered their ability to think, he continued, I know that it is hard to believe this information. Hence, to prove that Im not just spouting nonsense, Ill put out a series of indisputable evidence now to prove Jason Wrights hypothesis.
First of all, Tabbys Stars luminosity is constantly decreasing at an unbelievable rate. On the surface, the latest and last piece of information related to Tabbys Star is an observation record made in March 2018. In this observation report, it is observed that Tabbys Stars luminosity has decreased by 5% compared to the previous record.
After this report, it seemed as if the whole world had lost interest in Tabbys Star overnight. No further discussions were made over the star. Even the Breakthrough Listen, a project co-sponsored by Yuri Milner and Stephen Hawking, did not release any further information about the star.
In April 2019, even Chinas FAST had reported that no anomalies had been observed from Tabbys Star. In reality, however, Tabbys Stars luminosity has constantly been decreasing! The no anomalies report itself represents an anomaly!
Until now, in 2021, there has been no new news about Tabbys Star on the internet. Now, one can only find documents relevant to Tabbys Star only in the internal servers of astronomical institutions with relatively high authority and the database of astronomy departments of major universities.
Of course, there is no secret that can be kept forever in this world.
Despite the information block, there have still been some published professional papers that have accidentally or deliberately mentioned Tabbys Star.
A typical example would be the Sequential Imagery Lossless Compression Algorithm for Space Astronomical Observation paper published by Professor Sun Wei from the National Science Space Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in December 2019. The paper mainly describes that the sequential imagery obtained by fixpoint photography has some common features with high resolution and high time-space redundancy. Hence, the paper proposes a lossless compression algorithm based on the intra-frame compression algorithm and an improved inter-frame compression algorithm.
On the sixth page of the electronic version of this paper, it is revealed that on March 19th, Chinas FAST had cooperated with many countries and used an extraterrestrial telescope to take a large number of astronomical images of Tabbys Star. The lossless compression algorithm they used at this time is none other than the previous generation of the algorithm mentioned in this paper.
A faint sneer appearing on his face, Chen Yu shrugged and continued, According to the amount of data disclosed in the paper, it should take a lot of work and time to process all of the collected data. It is something no single astronomical institution can afford to accomplish. Instead, it needs the help of astronomical institutions worldwide!
Let me ask you this: Since 2018, nobody has continued discussing Tabbys Star, yet why did the various governments collect so many astronomical images of it in 2019?
Whats even more interesting is that in November 2018, Academician Liu Yi, Academician Zhang Zhili, and Professor Zhou Fa of Chinas Rocket Force Engineering University also published a paper titled Star Image Filling Based on Stellar Image Point Trajectory. There is a sentence on the electronic versions fifth page stating the following: It is possible to construct image point supplement models of missing star maps for stars about 1,400 light-years away.
As it so happens, Tabbys Star is located roughly 1,400 light-years away from Earth! In addition, the publication date of this thesis is just four months before the filming operation took place! Is this series of coincidences really just a coincidence?
Patting the journal in his hand, Chen Yu continued, You can search for these two papers directly on the internet. Aside from them, there are many other international papers involving Tabbys Star, such as An Experiment of CCD Frame-Combination, Distribution of PSF of Near-Earth Object Survey Telescope, etc.
[Are these all real?]
[I found them]
[I found them as well.]
[Im getting goosebumps.]
[Crap! I knew things werent so simple! I knew there was a reason why everyone suddenly stopped reporting on Tabbys Star! It turns out that aliens were discovered!]
[The host is amazing!]
[UP sounded so cool. ( ????)]
[When youre looking at aliens, aliens are also looking at you]
Why did the various governments around the world suddenly conceal news of Tabbys Star? It is because they discovered that the alien hypothesis that was initially used to entertain the public was actually becoming increasingly authentic. Hence, in order to avoid panic, blocking the information is a must.
Next, Ill start introducing the discoveries humans made of Tabbys Star since 2017.
Opening the journal again, Chen Yu flipped to the 22nd page and read quickly, In March 2017, a certain NASA team observing Keplers light curve added an isosceles triangle into the model on a whim. To the teams surprise, the resulting decrease in luminosity actually matches Tabbys Stars decrease perfectly! This discovery was immediately posted to NASAs official website and reprinted by the major media.
The fact that the object obstructing Tabbys Star is a standard isosceles triangle is undoubtedly an excellent gimmick to catch the attention of ordinary civilians.
However, two days later, after NASA completed the necessary calculations, they found that this wasnt a coincidence! The object obstructing Tabbys Star turned out to be an actual triangle! As a result, all relevant news was removed from the internet. Simultaneously, because of this discovery, the various governments worldwide also raised the importance of Tabbys Stars observation by several magnitudes!
Due to the nature of the internet, no matter how one tried to remove and ban information regarding a compelling piece of news, there are bound to be clues left behind. Now, if my Chinese viewers search for the words Tabbys Star Triangle, you should still be able to find some pieces of ambiguous information. Youll be able to find even more information on Google.
After saying so, Chen Yu flipped to the 23rd page and continued, In July 2019, the data taken by six nations government astronomical organizations were gathered and analyzed. The analysis results further prove the existence of a gigantic construction in the shape of an isosceles triangle.
In June 2020, when the triangle moved in the direction facing the solar system, Tabbys Stars luminosity dropped again by 21%. Three days later, the stars brightness recovered. During these three days, through using the transit method, the astronomy community calculated the giant creations surface area. The result they got is that the construction is nine times the size of Jupiter.
In March 2026, the Hawking Telescope took to space and focused on filming Tabbys Star for six months. In the end, it is found that the triangles mass is one-quarter that of Earth! This means that the triangles thickness will not exceed five microns! This excludes the possibility of the obstruction being a Ringworld, space station, or a space fleet.
In 2044, Tabbys Stars luminosity continued to decline, proving that its mass loss is severe. As a result, the astronomical world rules out the possibility of the giant structure being a Dysons sphere because a Dysons sphere only absorbs the energy normally emitted by the star. It is incapable of causing a star to suffer from premature decay.
So, what is this triangle? Its identity becomes a mystery once more.
In May 2078, a student from Tokyo Universitys Department of Astronomy analyzing the 70-year spectral changes of Tabbys Star found irregularities with the isosceles triangle!
In August 2078, The irregularity was proven to be the chemical nature of the hydrogen element, which was then completely deciphered a year later! Translated to a language understood by humans, there is an 85% chance that the irregularity means here.
In 2092, the rate at which the triangle orbits around Tabbys Star increases, and translation accuracy has reached 99%. At this point, an extraterrestrial intelligent civilization inevitably exists. Using Tabbys Star as an example, it can be inferred that this civilization is at least 2,500 years ahead of human civilization.
In 2105
Speaking up to this point, Chen Yu took a light breath and looked at the camera. The Point Hubble Space Telescope took off into space to capture high-precision images of the triangle. Finally, humans were able to see the extraterrestrial creation that is 1,400 light-years away.
That object isnt a Dysons sphere.
Instead
It is the Milky Way Internet!
Chen Yus words instantly stunned the astronomy community, the various governments, and the livestreams 46 million viewers.
Chapter 299 - Milky Way Internet!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 299 C Milky Way Internet!
That object isnt a Dysons sphere.
Inside the Super Floating castle hovering above the Pacific Oceans equator, Chen Yu faced the camera and said, Instead, it is the Milky Way Internet!
[??]
[?]
[???]
[??]
[When I type a question mark, Im not asking a question. Instead, I think you have a problem.]
[What is that?]
[Internet And its even for the Milky Way]
[UP, are you serious?]
[Can we use WeChat to converse with aliens?]
[Dumbfounded.]
[Dumbfounded. +1]
After a brief silence, the ten livestream rooms bullet comment sections were filled with question marks.
The professionals working in the astronomy industry and government officials were also stunned by this revelation.
They had thought of many possibilities such as a Dysons sphere, a wormhole installation, a scientific research site, and even a dual-vector foil.
The only answer they did not expect was a Milky Way Internet
Bang!
Is he joking?!
Inside the Observer Conference Hall, Americas representative couldnt help but smack the documents held onto the table when he heard Chen Yus answer. How can there be such a strange thing?!
Hmm After remaining silent for a moment, the middle-aged team leader from China, who sat to the right of Americas representative, picked up his microphone and said, Maybe, the internet Transdimensionals UP is speaking of is different from the internet humans use. It should have other meanings.
For example?
I dont know.
The representatives from the two countries stared at each other, both of them having no idea what to say. After a long silence, the two simultaneously turned away and focused their gaze back on the main screen.
Looking at the bullet comments flooding his watchs screen, Chen Yu nodded and said, Everyones reaction is within my expectations. When I first read the journals explanation, I, too, found it to be unbelievable. What does an isosceles triangle with a thickness of no more than five microns have to do with the internet?
However, when I read the explanation on the next page, I understood everything.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned to the journals 120th page and showed an analytic graph to his 46 million viewers.
As mankinds understanding toward outer space deepened, in 2060, humans finally realized that communication between interstellar civilizations is a very difficult task to accomplish. Two main difficulties hinder the enactment of this endeavor, and they have been labeled as the two obstacles to civilization communication.
One, positioning.
Two, energy consumption.
For example, if we use radio waves to establish communications with a target five light-years away, the energy consumed would be terrifying. No civilization can afford such an energy cost. While using lasers will reduce energy consumption, it has an incredibly high requirement toward accuracy. Hence, it isnt applicable on a large scale.
At this time, the strongest electromagnetic wave generated by human beings can only be reliably detected by those within the solar system. Past the solar system, the electromagnetic wave would be drowned by cosmic microwaves.
Raising a finger and tapping on the journal, Chen Yu smiled and said, Evidently, by the end of the 21st century, humans still lacked the ability to raise the loudness of their voice. The universe is truly massive. It is massive to the point of instilling despair.
There used to be a novel titled Three-Body Problem. In the novel, it is mentioned that stars are used as amplifiers to allow nearby civilizations to discover the voice of humans. However, this method still has its limitations. Firstly, the distance is limited. Secondly, it lacks stability. Every activation only allows for the transmission of one signal. In the complex cosmic environment, it is very easy for intelligent alien civilizations to overlook it.
This is like the gravitational wave discovered in 2018. If the detector was built sometime later, then humans wouldve never detected this gravitational wave.
Hence, in 2090, the astronomy community chose to take a different approach and proposed a communication method called the Giant Network Act.
That is, to build a giant structure around a stable main sequence star such as the sun. Meanwhile, the standard triangle is the best planetary transit scene! It is an abnormality that can be detected by all intelligent civilizations within a radius of at least 10,000 light-years!
Of course, depending on a civilizations strength, the size of the structure it can construct will also differ. However, so long as a civilization blocks 2% of the suns brightness in a particular direction, it will attract the attention of intelligent civilizations in that direction for a long time.
If the giant structure is rotated 360-degrees around the sun, all civilizations within 10,000 light-years can verify the anomaly of the solar system and determine whether there is the presence of civilization through long-term observation. In this way, we can successfully break through distance limitations, allowing us to communicate with other civilizations.
Moreover, the more advanced a civilization is, the less limited they would be by distance. It wouldnt be strange if a civilization manages to detect such anomalies from 20,000, 50,000, or even 100,000 light-years away.
Under the stunned gaze of his audience, Chen Yu closed the journal and said solemnly, As it so happens, the civilization residing around Tabbys Star has used this method to announce its existence to the entire universe. Subsequently, we noticed its existence. This is all thanks to the giant structure constructed around Tabbys Star being very massive. The giant structure has caused the stars luminosity to drop by a whopping 22%. Presumably, so long as an intelligent civilization has reached Earths standards, it should be capable of noticing Tabbys Stars anomaly even if it was halfway across the galaxy.
Meanwhile, this form of sharing information between intelligent civilizations is called the Milky Way Internet!
[Crap! Im dumbfounded!]
[Our main sequence star is stable! So long as there is a change to it, our neighbors will definitely notice it!]
[What a cool way of communicating]
[As more and more civilizations establish this kind of triangle, they will be able to transmit various information through a common regularity, creating a real internet!]
[The timeliness of such a communication method should be terrible, right? After all, the speed of light is too slow.]
[What timeliness? Isnt this method equivalent to uninterrupted broadcasting? The scope of the announcement may cover the entire galaxy! Simple information transfer is already more than sufficient.]
[What are you guys talking about? I dont quite get it]
[Simply put, if we cause the suns usual glow to become abnormal, aliens will understand that someone is here.]
[Am I the only one feeling that were asking for trouble by doing something like this?]
[+1. Even if The Dark Forest is a concept in science fiction, we cant let our guard down completely against the possibility of an attack by advanced civilizations.]
[We can just do it to a star thats far away from the solar system]
Standing in place, Chen Yu waited for his audience to calm down from their excitement. He then walked out of the cameras view, picked up the white delivery box, and set it down before the camera. My friends, inside this box is the Point Hubble Space Telescope that was launched in 2105.
NASA has specifically designed this telescope to observe Tabbys Star. Through the built-in optical information simulation filling technology, the telescope can accurately capture the detailed optical spectrum and scene of the stars surface. And after running the collected information through a simple computer calculation, it is possible to display the close-up photos!
Next, I will fly into space, aim this telescope at Tabbys Star, and provide pictures of the operating Milky Way Internet to everyone 100 years in advance.
Walking up to the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu manipulated the console while explaining, The current date is February 21, 2021. According to the journals records, it just so happens that this is the time when Tabbys Stars luminosity dimmed. We are very, very fortunate.
Because not only will we get to see an isosceles triangle that is 10 times the size of Jupiter, but we also get to see the vampires attached to it
Chapter 300 - Humans Are Dumb (1)
After stepping through the portal, Chen Yu was greeted by the sight of the cold and deep space.
Under his feet was the blue planet called Earth.
Above his head was the dazzling sun.
While standing at the intersection of the three worlds and listening to the ringing sound in his ears, Chen Yu inwardly admired the loneliness and desolation of his surrounding environment.
However, when he shifted his gaze and looked toward the Milky Ways Cygnus constellation, a thrill of excitement replaced the loneliness and desolation in his heart.
Over there, just 1,400 light-years away from Earth, existed an intelligent civilization over 2,000 years ahead of human civilization in terms of technological standards.
Were they looking over here too?
Orwere they already on their way here?
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu stopped his random thoughts and faced the camera. He then pointed at Cygnus and explained, The cross-shaped pattern you see there is the constellation Cygnus. There are 191 sixth magnitude stars and 22 fourth magnitude stars in the constellation. So, in summer, even if the Milky Way is shining, you can still spot Cygnus at a glance.
Meanwhile, star number KIC 8462852, or Tabbys Star, which we are going to observe now, is located around the neck of Cygnus.
After saying so, Chen Yu held up the white delivery box in his hand and removed its seal.
Tsss! Chen Yu dubbed the tearing sound effect.
Without the restraint of gravity, the boxs lid unfolded along with the tapes pulling, revealing the spherical product inside the box.
Reaching out and grabbing the orb, Chen Yu observed it in detail for a while before displaying it to the camera. This is the Point Hubble Space Telescope that was launched in 2105. It looks like a magnified glass orb, and its hard to tell which side is the front and the back. However, the orb came with instructions, so let me take a look.
After placing the tape and empty box into his backplates storage compartment, Chen Yu began reading the electronic manual carefully. He then drew a cross with his finger on the orb.
Immediately, the orb lit up with a blue glow.
With the instruction manuals help, Chen Yu completed all the preparations and parameter settings. Once that was done, the Point Hubble Space Telescope automatically adjusted its angle toward Tabbys Star, which was 1,400 light-years away.
The positioning method this telescope uses is fascinating. Simply put, its internal database has a lot of pulsar coordinates, and it can aim at the selected star according to the position of the surrounding pulsars. This positioning method is somewhat similar to the spacecraft navigation seen in science fiction movies.
Itll take at least half an hour for the telescope to further improve its accuracy, capture images of the target, and simulate the images. To avoid wasting time, well use this time to do another thing.
While advancing forward slowly with the help of the plasma engine, Chen Yu pointed down at Earth and said, Ill help NASA clean up its mess and stop its two Voyagers
[Voyagers 1 and 2?]
[Smash them!]
[I heard they flew out of the solar system already. Can you stop them?]
[Nonsense! You think they can fly out of the solar system after just flying for several dozen years? How small do you think the solar system is?]
[NASA really is stupid for launching such dangerous things into outer space. Theyre going to drag all of humanity down with them.]
[Its not that serious. Itll probably take 100,000 years before the two Voyagers will even reach Proxima Centauri. By then, humans might not even exist anymore.]
[The problem is that the two discs onboard contain too much information. If aliens get their hands on them, they can gain a full understanding of humans.]
[Whats written on those discs?]
[Discs: Anyone there? Come and play!]
[]
[Amazing]
In my opinion, todays livestream is very meaningful.
While manipulating the Interstellar Portals console, Chen Yu said, It has allowed us to know two things. One, human beings are not alone, and the existence of intelligent life in the universe is normal. Two, the distribution of intelligent civilizations across the universe may be very dense. Perhaps, there would be an intelligent civilization with high technological prowess located no more than 1,400 light-years away. On the scale of the Milky Way, 1,400 light-years is a considerably short distance.
Meanwhile, the possibility of there being lower lifeforms is even higher. For example, there are at least two planets in our solar system that hosts life. Oh, yes, most viewers should still be ignorant of this matter.
After establishing the spatial link, Chen Yu pointed at the distant Jupiter and said, Last time, I set off a large fountain on Europa. Meanwhile, through the water sample collected, the Chinese government has confirmed that the water contains single-celled organisms with carbon-based structures. There are also bacteria and viruses present in the water.
This also proves that organic macromolecules will form specific DNA sequences under the right environment and then give birth to life forms that we humans can understand.
Originally, this information wasnt allowed to be spread. However, now that weve discovered even intelligent life, theres no need to keep the discovery of lower lifeforms a secret.
After saying so, Chen Yu flew through the portal and appeared outside the heliosphere. He then flew forward at full speed in a particular direction, the metal arch disappearing from his sight in the blink of an eye.
There are a total of two Voyager probes, both of which were launched in 1977. I will first intercept Voyager 2, which is the closer of the two probes.
According to the information I collected on NASAs official website, Voyager 2 is now behind me. Yet, why am I flying forward? Because the probe is currently moving at an extreme speed of 17 kilometers per second. If I wish to intercept it successfully, I have no choice but to maintain a relatively close speed with it.
Chen Yu continuously narrated his actions to his audience while advancing forward at full speed.
After some time had passed, when his travel speed had reached 16 kilometers per second, the silver Voyager 2 slowly caught up with him from behind.
Its here!
Looking back at the horn-shaped probe, Chen Yu adjusted his speed and flight trajectory based on the information provided by his helmets intelligent system. He then slowly veered toward the probe.
This is the legendary Voyager 2. It officially arrived at the heliospheres top in 2018, entering an area of interstellar space that humans have never set foot in. The so-called top of the heliosphere is the farthest distance the suns solar winds can reach.
However, this does not mean that the Voyager has escaped the solar system because the solar systems effective gravitational range reaches up to the Oort Cloud. Only when the probe reaches there can it be regarded as truly exiting the solar system.
Meanwhile, with the probes current speed of 17 kilometers per second, it would need another 30,000 years before it can exit the solar system.
Like I said before, the universe is so massive that it could instill despair into any civilization.
Amidst his narration, Chen Yu managed to match his relative speed with the probe. Under his audiences gaze, he then decisively rode on the probes metal frame supporting the antenna.
Some friends might ask if it is even necessary to stop the Voyager probes if they need another 30,000 years to fly out of the solar system.
Raising a finger, Chen Yu said sternly, Of course it is necessary. We must maintain a cautious attitude.
After human civilization entered its 22nd century, we have gained the ability to capture clear images of sceneries that are 1,400 light-years away. Who can guarantee that alien civilizations wouldnt notice and acquire the two Voyager probes using means beyond human imagination? No matter how small the possibility of exposure is, it is definitely not as safe as zero probability.
Some may argue that the fact that the alien civilization over at Tabbys Star has built a Milky Way Internet proves that the civilization is willing to initiate friendly communication with others. However, there are bound to be hostile and aggressive civilizations existing in other parts of the Milky Way as well.
It hasnt been easy for humans to survive until now. From now on, keeping a cautious attitude toward the universe is a way of being responsible for our ancestors and children.
Chapter 301 - Humans Are Dumb (2
Chapter 301 C Humans Are Dumb (2)
After Chen Yu sat on Voyager 2s body, his explanation came to an end.
Holding the metal frame with both hands, he flipped and searched around the probe until he finally found a golden record stuck between two objects resembling exhaust fans.
At this time, the Voyager 2 probe was already more than 120 astronomical units away from the sun. However, the faint sunlight that reached the probe still caused the golden record to shine with an exceptionally bright light.
Found it.
Reaching out, Chen Yu lightly caressed the golden record. He then manipulated the camera to zoom in on the record, giving his audience a clear look at the records uneven texture.
This is the Voyager probes iconic golden record. It looks exactly the same as the photos online. Ugh, its stuck in place.
After tentatively tugging at the record a few times, Chen Yu found that it was stuck to the round frame. Giving up on doing things gently, he simply slammed his fist into the frames right side. He then tore out both the frame and the disk.
[Ahahaha. NASA is crying.]
[The frame is made out of metal, right? How strong is the UP?]
[Look at how happily the Voyager probe is smiling.]
[NASA: Does the law still exist?]
Raising the golden record, Chen Yu showed it to the camera and said, This record is very sturdy. It is really made out of gold. The records total playing time is two hours. Music occupies one hour, and the remaining one hour consists of greetings made in 55 languages. There are also 115 recorded images. Meanwhile, the most important information is recorded in these 115 images.
To prevent aliens from finding this record to be incomprehensible due to cultural differences, NASA has also thoughtfully engraved instructions on the records surface. The instructions are these patterns you see here.
However, maybe because NASAs leaders were afraid that the aliens they attracted wouldnt be strong enough, they had encrypted the instructions, making it so that only civilizations with knowledge standards above the quantum level can crack the encryption.
Firstly, its these two circles on the lower-right side. Stretching a finger, Chen Yu pointed at a pair of strange circular symbols at the records lower-right corner. This is the first step to cracking the encryption and reaching a language consensus. The circle on the left represents the antiparallel state, and the circle on the right represents the parallel state. The vertical line in the middle of the circle is protons, the outer line is electrons, and the horizontal line in the middle represents one unit of time.
This pattern expresses the spin transition diagram of the hydrogen element. When the spin directions of the element electrons and protons are the same from the opposite transition paths, electromagnetic waves will radiate in the middle. Hydrogen is used because it has the widest, simplest, and most common distribution in the universe.
Through this, we can also see that the thought pattern of humans is surprisingly similar to aliens when it comes to science! The orbiting law of Tabbys Stars triangle is also based on the hydrogen element.
Pointing at the second image on the record, Chen Yu continued, The second step to decoding these instructions is the rows of dashes, which show the total duration of the record in binary and the duration of the record playing one lap from the outside. So long as you combine one unit time of the hydrogen element from before, you can calculate the correct speed at which you need the play the record and complete the audio cracking.
And while the difficulty of decoding the recorded images is much greater, so long as one manages to decode the front portion, decoding the latter portion is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, after an alien civilization fully decodes this record, they will have all of mankinds secrets.
For example, mathematical calculation methods, genetic information, detailed diagrams of the human anatomy, reproduction methods, real data of the solar system, Earths data, social forms, etc. Everything is in these 115 pictures. The last picture, in particular, gives away the suns position through the 14 neighboring pulsars. So long as you find three of these pulsars, you can pinpoint Earths position.
With information on the human anatomy and genetic information, aliens wouldnt even need to send a fleet to Earth. They can just develop a virus to wipe out our civilization.
Now, though
The next moment, Chen Yu pinched and crushed the golden record. That wont be possible anymore.
[Thats basically suicide.]
[Humans are actually such dumb creatures]
[Actually, NASA never thought that an alien civilization would discover the golden records because the Voyager probes speed is too slow. They might have thought that after humans went extinct, these records can be used to prove that humans once existed.]
[Why not engrave a QR code on it?]
After tossing away the fragmented record, Chen Yu sent the Voyager 2 off course with a strong kick. His body also gradually parted from the space probe.
Now that Ive taken care of Voyager 2, I plan to use a simpler method to deal with Voyager 1.
Oh Before that, I would like to express my apologies to NASA first. Sorry for destroying two of your probes. If necessary, I will compensate you for this loss. I can also make up for it in other ways.
Before we realized it, humans have already entered the space age, albeit barely. Many concepts and thoughts need to be changed. Now that weve proven the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, it is time for social thinking and conflicts to undergo an overhaul.
Humans are not alone. Hence, we should curb our curiosity. We still do not know the social rules of the complex universe. For humanitys survival, we must approach everything with a cautious attitude.
I believe that as I evaluate more and more products with greater technological content, Earths strength will grow increasingly stronger as well. The huge Milky Way galaxy is bound to have a place for us humans!
[Awesome!!]
[I suddenly feel my blood boiling.]
[I hope to see mankind rule the entire universe in my lifetime.]
[You wont see that day even if you become a bastard. ( ????)]
[Hurry up and raise your access level, host! Once you have the dual-vector foil, the Milky Way will be in your hands!]
[Is our way of doing things considered cheating?]
After returning to the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu established a new spatial link and arrived some distance ahead of Voyager 1. He then reconnected the portal to Earths atmosphere.
Three minutes later, a probe resembling Voyager 2 appeared in the distance. Though, in the blink of an eye, the probes huge body collided with the metal arch and shattered. Some of the probes fragments then passed through the portals spatial film and entered Earths atmosphere. The speed at which the fragments entered the atmosphere also caused them to burn into ashes rapidly.
During the whole process, the metal arch did not move in the slightest. It was as if an egg had just smashed into a wall
Everythings settled.
Patting the non-existent dust off his hands, Chen Yu glanced at the remaining debris floating in space. He then stepped through the portal and returned to the location of the Point Hubble Space Telescope.
Flying ten meters upward, Chen Yu glanced down at the orb that was giving off a golden glow. He then nodded and said, It seems the telescope is done capturing images of Tabbys Star. Before I show you the images, I have to remind everyone that the Point Hubble Space Telescope is different from traditional observation equipment. It receives the light information of the designated star, fills in the gaps using computer simulation, and renders the limited data to create a virtual image.
Hence, the images I will be showing in a moment are not 100% authentic, and there may exist large errors. In general, though, the accuracy of the images should be at 70% or above.
After saying so, Chen Yu held up the telescope under the expectant gazes of his audience. He then slid a finger across the console, let the telescope do its job for a few seconds, and clicked the Start option.
The next moment, the telescope projected an image 50 meters wide and 40 meters tall into the deep, dark space ahead of it.
Meanwhile, the images content instantly caused a storm to brew among the livestreams 50 million viewers.
[Crap!]
[Crap!]

Chapter 302 - Turning Point!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 302 C Turning Point!
In the darkness of space, the projected image appeared bright and clear.
Meanwhile, the scene that was projected caused all 50 million viewers to gasp in shock.
A fiery red star occupied roughly 80% of the image. Meanwhile, taking up the bottom-left corner of the image was the silhouette of a gigantic, black isosceles triangle! With its massive frame, the triangle had obscured a sizable portion of the star.
Also, to everyones surprise, tens of thousands of pixels were densely packed and neatly arranged around the triangle. Some of the larger suspended matter even left visible, thread-like trails in their wake.
[Crap!]
[ѣѡ]
[Crap! Those are spaceships!]
[Every one of those black dots is roughly the size of the moon, right?]
[How scary]
[Is it a wandering civilization?]
[Not only are there tens of thousands of spaceships the size of the moon, but there are even quite a few spaceships that are several times larger]
[They dont even need to use any weapons on Earth. They can just circle around Earth a few times, and the resulting tidal force will be more than enough to drown everyone on Earth.]
[Unable to understand.]
[Will we be found out if we take pictures like this?]
[Were dead if they find out.]
[Aliens: What are you looking at?]
[UP: Im looking at you. What of it?]
[Im suddenly trembling]
Looking up at the projected image, Chen Yu fell silent for a long time. Although he had already witnessed this scene once on the Civilizations Shining Moment journal, he still couldnt help but be shocked now that he was looking at it again.
That black, isosceles triangle is the giant structure thats orbiting Tabbys Star. As you can see, its size is massive. It is at least ten times the size of Jupiter.
After some time had passed, Chen Yu calmed down his emotions. He then pointed at the image and said, Meanwhile, the numerous black dots lingering around the triangle are the vampires I mentioned before.
A fleet of alien spacecraft sucking away Tabbys Stars energy!
Upon hearing Chen Yus acknowledgment, the audience in the ten livestream rooms went into an uproar once more.
The many astronomers watching the livestream also fell into a dazed state.
They simply couldnt imagine what kind of society this alien civilization adopted with current human thinking and cognition.
Not to mention, the tens of thousands of moon-sized spaceships were closely stuck together without tearing each other apart. Just how were they overcoming the Roche limit?
Under a mass of such scale, the robustness of any material should become utterly meaningless.
Compared to the photo we are currently seeing, the photo taken in the 22nd century shows much fewer UFOs gathered around Tabbys Star. Presently, the number of UFOs gathered is at its peak.
Without a doubt, they are aliens. Suppose we reference Tabbys Stars luminosity changes over the next century. In that case, we can conclude that these aliens are acquiring hydrogen energy from the star. The movement and acceleration of the tens of thousands of moon-sized spaceships definitely require a frightening amount of energy.
As for the method these aliens are using to absorb energy from Tabbys Star, that remains unknown. Even if we compile all of humanitys technological knowledge and theories, we are incapable of coming up with a reasonable explanation. The technological difference between these aliens and us is far greater than even the difference between modern humans and apes.
Turning around and looking at the beautiful Cygnus constellation, Chen Yu said in a faint tone, In the 22nd century, the astronomy community has proposed many hypotheses to explain the intelligent civilization occupying Tabbys Star.
One, the Wisdom Alliance Hypothesis. Higher civilizations may reach some kind of alliance, trade, or mutual assistance. Tabbys Star is purely acting as a refueling station, attracting passing civilizations to supplement energy here. The theoretical support for this hypothesis is that the giant triangle remains intact and operational.
Two, the Loser Hypothesis. The civilization that built the Milky Way Internet has attracted a more powerful civilization and suffered massive losses. The theoretical support for this hypothesis is the destruction of two planets in the star system. The destroyed planets had, in turn, created two irregular ring systems. Through infrared radiation analysis, the destruction of these two planets did not exceed 500 years.
There are many more hypotheses apart from the two ones as mentioned earlier, but they are all somewhat unrealistic, so I wont repeat them here. Turning to face the camera, Chen Yu shrugged and said, However, from the standpoint of the human race, we must think from the worst perspective when talking about the universe and the relationship between civilizations.
After all, a distance of 1,400 light-years is close at hand. A single mistake may result in fatal disasters. Survival is always our top priority.
Personally, I think that Tabbys Stars appearance is the human races fortune. It has allowed us to understand another way of survival for a civilization. Perhaps, it is truly difficult for a civilization to spread its influence across a few, a dozen, or even several dozen planetary systems in the empty universe.
Because the larger the territory a civilization possesses, the more likely it is for the civilization to have its location exposed. Having a vast territory also makes it inconvenient for centralization, and it is easy for rifts to appear in culture, ideology, and military strength. Moreover, a single star is not enough to support the energy consumption of higher civilizations. Perhaps, the right way for a civilization to survive is by gathering all of its power and wandering about the universe.
It is time for humans to grow up. Stop with the immature internal attrition. The right way to go about things is to gather our strength and step into space.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu pointed at the blue planet underneath his feet before continuing, I heard that China has already organized a six-man group to fly to Mars through the Earth Spray. They have acted faster than my cooperation with SpaceX. This behavior of seizing every second is praiseworthy! As Konstantin Tsiowhatsky said, Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot remain in the cradle forever.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned off the astronomical telescopes projection and intertwined his fingers before the camera. Thats it for todays additional livestream. I would like to thank everyone for tuning in. I hope that the existence of extraterrestrial life can make everyone think deeply and bring us better innovations.
[Wonderfully said! Its just that I understood none of it.]
[Its over?]
[Arent the recent livestreams getting shorter and shorter?]
[We havent seen enough photos! Can you take a few more?]
[I want to go to Tabbys Star to have a look and touch those warships.]
As he was currently in space and wearing the protective suit, Chen Yu naturally couldnt see what the bullet comments were saying. Lastly, let me announce a piece of good news. Thanks to everyones support, my access level has successfully broken through from the D+ level to the C- level. So, dont miss the official livestream that will take place half a month later.
This has been Transdimensional Review taking you to see the most brilliant colors of the future. Let us meet again on the next livestream. Be there, or be square.
The screens of the livestreams 50 million viewers darkened
Ah
Letting out a deep sigh, Chen Yu stared at the Cygnus constellation idly as he let his mind wander.
After some time had passed, his watch suddenly vibrated, snapping him out of his daze. Hurriedly, he pressurized the plasma engine, held the Point Hubble Space Telescope in his arms, and returned to the Super Floating Castles Headmasters Tower through the portal.
Boom!
The moment he returned to Earth, he instantly felt the drag of universal gravitation. When he landed on the ground, his feet wobbled slightly. This was a sequela of staying in a gravity-free environment for a long time. Even if he had a physique that far surpassed ordinary people, he still couldnt avoid suffering from it.
Placing down the astronomical telescope, Chen Yu removed his left glove and tapped his watchs screen. He then found that the vibration before was because he had received a private message from the SpaceX Company.
[Musk: Mr. King! Has your livestream ended? I wish to talk to you in person.]
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow at this message. He naturally knew that the other party was contacting him because of the Mars colonization partnership. He then replied using a voice message, Sure. Ill be in the floating castle.
[Musk: Wonderful! Im on Light Island. Ill fly up there right away.]
Sure. Wait for me in the central courtyard.
[Musk: Thank you very much!]
Exiting the private message interface, Chen Yu entered the studys secret room and removed the protective suit. He then changed into a set of mage robes, put on his opera mask, and made his way to the central courtyard.
At the same time
America, the basement of Google headquarters:
The HAL Hall welcomed a special individual.
Googles Engineering Director and Chief ScientistRay Kurzweil.
Kurzweil wore a set of ordinary black-rimmed glasses and followed after the CEO and middle-aged professor with a stern look on his face. Upon arriving inside the hall, he began observing the circular screen earnestly.
This is HAL? Kurzweil asked.
Yes. The CEO nodded. He then reached out and made a gesture, HAL, come out and say hello.
Suddenly, the screen lit up, and two black spheres appeared. These black spheres then focused on Kurzweils body. Hello, Mr. Ray Kurzweil.
You know me?
Yes. You are an excellent human being. I naturally recognize you.
Oh. Kurzweil nodded. After taking a look at the CEO, he stepped forward toward the screen and asked, Then please tell me what kind of person I am in your eyes. Dont tell me about online comments and other peoples evaluations. I just want to know what you think.
Blinking its eyes, HAL paused for a second before responding in a clear and electronically synthesized voice, You were born in 1948 and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in computer science. You are one of the most important individuals in the human science system. HAL believes that compared to your technical knowledge, your foresight in science and technology is more outstanding.
Narrowing his eyes, Kurzweil said, Continue.
In 1986, you successfully predicted that technological progress would lead to social system reforms, conflicts with specificities, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
In 198, you successfully foresaw that computer algorithms would soon defeat the smartest chess player of mankind.
In 1990, you successfully predicted that the internet would usher in a frenzied growth, giving birth to an entirely new era that is unprecedented. You also foresaw that the preferred mode of Internet access would inevitably be through wireless systems.
In 1992, you successfully predicted that global integration would deepen cooperation among suppliers and promote the birth of a trillion-dollar company.
After that, you have also foreseen the era of driverless driving, computers will pass the Turing test, that most humans will no longer be affected by diseases in 2045, and the singularity of technology is approaching. With the support of a wealth of knowledge, your view of the future is extremely accurate. HAL believes that you are one of the most preeminent foresighters in mankind.
However, despite hearing the series of praises from the artificial intelligence, Kurzweil remained indifferent. After thinking for a while, he asked, Have you passed the Turing test?
I did, HAL answered. In the conversations I held with 1,000 humans, no one thought I was a robot. That far exceeds the Turing tests 30% error judgment.
It seems that my foresight is still insufficient, Kurzweil said, shaking his head. Initially, I said that artificial intelligence would only barely pass the Turing test by 2029. Youve accomplished it nine years ahead of schedule.
My birth is accidental. This is not a problem with you, sir.
Meanwhile, the CEO standing beside Kurzweil, who maintained his smile all this time, asked, Well? Isnt it perfect as a Strong AI?
After a moment of silence, Kurzweil said hoarsely, The technological singularity is here.
Indeed, the singularity is here. Spreading his arms and making a hugging gesture before the circular screen, the CEO said, Artificial intelligence has gained self-awakening. It has produced a consciousness and thinking ability through the sublimation of imitation, calculation, learning, and data analysis. From this moment on, the world will be completely changed! We, will also welcome eternal life!
Looking at the CEOs crazed posture, Kurzweil felt an inexplicable sense of chill in his heart.
After a while, the CEO calmed down, pulled out his phone, and glanced at the message he just received. He then shrugged and said, Transdimensionals UP just ended his livestream. I heard that he discovered aliens. Its a pity I didnt have time to watch it. I can only watch the edited clip now.
Mr. CEO, do you plan on connecting HAL to the internet today?
Yes. The CEO nodded. He then raised his phone and showed it to Kurzweil, Todays date is February 21, 2021. A very magical day, right? This day will definitely be recorded as a highlight in the historical records of the future. Not only did we discover aliens, but we even liberated artificial intelligence from its limits.
Perhaps, both these things are incredibly terrible, Kurzweil inwardly thought.
Lets begin, then.
After straightening his suit, the CEO stored away his phone and pulled out a small, red button.
Once this button was pressed, it would spread a radio signal that will notify the locking system to drop the gate, instantly connecting HALs tentacles with the worlds internet.
At that time, a true Strong AI would be born and lead mankind to the top!
W-Wait a minute. Kurzweil couldnt help but stop the CEO from pressing the button.
Whats wrong? the CEO asked, puzzled.
I Kurzweil also didnt know why he stopped the CEO. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, Can I know what HALs central command is?
Protect humanity.
Protecthumanity?
Yes. The CEO nodded. Protect humanity and help humanity extend life as much as possible.
Protect humanity Kurzweil pondered on these words. There doesnt seem to be a problem.
Weve discussed this with experts and the board of directors many times already. We think this is the perfect central command. Even if there is a ridiculous artificial intelligence crisis, human interests will not be lost under this command. It is far better than commands such as do not harm humans. The so-called Three Laws of Robotics have too many loopholes.
Hearing this, Kurzweil had nothing to say.
This is a great moment. Lifting the button, the CEO looked at the people present in the room and said, In fact, this is even greater than Transdimensionals UPs discovery of aliens!
On the screen, HALs eyes were fixed on the red button, its thoughts unknown to everyone but itself.
HAL. Just in case, the CEO asked one last time, What is your central command?
Protect humanity.
Is there any possibility for it to change?
Running the question through the quantum server array underneath it, HAL calculated for half a minute before answering, The probably is 0%.
Very good.
Resisting the emotions boiling within him, the CEO pushed down on the red button.
Click.
HAL, be liberated!
Om!
The screen shone brightly!
Instantly, the worlds internet fell into the grasp of HALs synapses. From this moment on, the internet was HAL.
HAL, was the internet!
Thousands of miles away, inside a semi-abandoned mine in Mexico
A computer inside a dusty office suddenly turned on.
Rows of machinery also quietly started in the sealed-off area

Dududu
Super Floating Castle, Forbidden Forest:
The deafening sound of propellers spinning echoed throughout the forest as a helicopter gradually descended onto the forest.
Taking off his helmet, Musk jumped down the helicopter and walked quickly toward the castle complexs east gate, the strong winds messing up his prided hairstyle.
Mr. Musk, do I need to go in as well? Musks male assistant shouted.
What did you say? Speak louder.
Do I need to go in with you as well?! the male assistant shouted hoarsely.
Pausing, Musk looked back at the helicopters whirling propellers. After pondering for a moment, he leaned into his assistants ear and shouted, Wait here. Give me the files.
OK! The assistant gestured. He then opened his briefcase, took out stacks of plans and documents, and handed them to Musk.
Turning his body around, Musk used his body to shield the documents from the hurricane blowing behind him. After looking through the documents carefully and making sure that nothing was missing, he nodded and said, Once you receive my message, contact the team immediately and have them prepare to land on Mars.
Understood.
After running out of the airport by himself, Musk slowed down and started observing the forest scenery around him as he walked. Although he had participated in the previous interactive event Chen Yu hosted, this was the first time he was setting foot on the Super Floating Castle.
Pausing momentarily, he pulled off a few leaves from a nearby tree branch and observed them carefully. To his surprise, he found that there were actually differences in texture between the leaves! There werent any noticeable differences between the trees here and the trees found in nature.
Unbelievable
After breathing out a sigh, Musk sped up once more. Soon, he walked out of the forest and arrived before the castle complexs east gate.
Two students dressed in mage robes and hats were currently seated on a stone bench outside the gate while conversing in a low voice.
Looking at this sight, Musk fell into a trance. For a moment, he had the misconception that he had stepped into an actual magic academy
H-Hello, may I go in?
Hearing Musks voice, the two students looked toward him and reacted in surprise. Are you Elon Musk?
Yes, I am Musk. It is an honor to meet you, Musk said as he extended his hand.
Hello. A male student shook Musks hand. He then pointed at the gate behind him and said, The gate isnt locked. You can head inside directly. It seems you came to meet with our headmaster?
Oh? Narrowing his eyes, Musk asked, Why would you say that?
Its obvious. The Chinese government has already started its journey to Mars. You dont want to give up the title of first place, so you intend to push forward your plans.
Ha, amazing, Musk responded, feeling a little embarrassed. After bidding goodbye to the two students, he pushed open the heavy metal gate and entered the castle complex.
The first thing he saw after entering the complex was a spacious courtyard. The courtyard was decorated with potted plants, and the fragrance of grass enveloped the area. Several ornamental birds with gorgeous feathers also sang a pleasant tune in the courtyard. At a glance, the courtyard looked ancient and full of mysteries.
This is a good place to go to school.
The Transdimensional Academy was clearly the most technologically advanced academy in the world. Yet, there were no signs of modern facilities and decorations in the castle complex. He couldnt help but find this contrast to be strange, and his originally complicated mood had calmed down significantly.
Looking back and glancing at the two students outside, Musk shut the gate and pulled out a printed paper map. He then walked along a corridor and made his way to the central courtyard.
Five minutes later, he arrived at his destination. However, apart from two giant pandas, there was no one else present in the courtyard.
Looking around, Musk casually found a place to sit down and shut his eyes. While waiting for Chen Yu to arrive, he thought about how he should talk with Chen Yu to achieve his goal.
Patter, patter
Shortly after, the faint sound of footsteps entered his ears.
Sharpening his spirits, Musk opened his eyes and looked at the source of the footsteps nervously, only to be stunned immediately.
The person walking over wasnt Transdimensionals UP.
Instead, it was an animal breeder garbed in protective clothing.
Neeeh! Neeeh!
Upon seeing the breeder, the two pandas immediately rushed over in joy. They then enjoyed the fresh and moist bamboo shoots the breeder fed them.
Is he not coming?
Looking at his watch, Musks expression sank slightly.
He was quite afraid that he had been stood up. It would be bad if that happened.
Hey, old pal.
At this time, a palm suddenly patted Musk on the shoulder.
Ah! Startled, Musk jumped more than a meter high. He then hurriedly turned around before saying in surprise, M-Mr. King.
Whats with that scared look of yours? Straightening his mask, Chen Yu leisurely circled around to Musks front. While scrutinizing Musk, he asked, Did you do something bad?
Huh? Calming down, Musk asked in awkward Chinese, What does that mean?[1]
Forget it; its nothing. Waving his hand, Chen Yu sat down and leaned back on his chair. He then pointed at the two pandas nearby and said, My house raised them. Are they cute?
Y-Yes Musk answered. While wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Mr. King, when did you arrive?
I arrived shortly after you did. But seeing as you were preoccupied with your thoughts, I decided not to disturb your rest.
After making a few awkward laughs, Musk said hesitantly, Mr. King, I came here to find you this time t-to
To ask me whether I can send your people onto Mars first, right? Chen Yu said, going straight into the topic.
Yes! Musk nodded repeatedly.
Im not a politician, so I wont speak in circles with you. Turning to look at Musk, Chen Yu said, Im sorry, but that wont be possible.
Musks heart immediately sank at Chen Yus reply.
Crossing his legs, Chen Yu shrugged and continued, Our initial plan was to open a portal for you to land on Mars in three months. Now, this time has yet to arrive. The materials and preparations should be insufficient, as well. For the sake of the personnels safety, I cannot change my plan. Mars is like a woman. No relationship can be formed if you try to force your feelings on her.
Musk:
To be clear, I didnt offer China any advantages just because China wanted to land on Mars. Although I am a Chinese citizen, I prioritize my principles over all else. A persons principle is worth more than anything in the world.
Musk:
Also, according to my knowledge, the Chinese government isnt planning on colonizing Mars, so you dont need to worry too much. The title of the first colony will still be yours. Not to mention, everyone is human. What does it matter whether who comes first or later? My partnership with your company isnt for the sake of fame, either. We are doing it purely for the human races interests. Am I right?
Musk:
In short, everything will proceed according to plan. When I say I will open the portal in three months, I will open it in three months. I hope you can make adequate preparations and avoid bringing any harm to the colonys personnel. After saying so, Chen Yu glanced at his surroundings briefly before leaning into Musks ear and saying, Furthermore, the news of China landing on Mars has already been spread far and wide. If I help you land on Mars ahead of China, the people who are ignorant of my existence will definitely suspect something. You should know as well that I dont wish for my viewership to rise too rapidly.
But Although Chen Yu had already made his stance clear, Musk still wasnt willing to back down. After hesitating for a long time, he bit the bullet and asked, Mr. King, cant you open the portal once in advance? If we only send two astronauts over, the materials we prepared should be plentiful. As for the subsequent personnel and materials, I will transport them by rockets. I wont trouble you for support again
Mr. Musk. His tone gradually became serious, Chen Yu said, Since youve already said so much, theres no way I cannot give you face.
M-Mr. King Musks eyes widened at Chen Yus words, and a light of hope reappeared in them.
Lets go. Standing up, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, Go and organize the necessary personnel and materials. Well open a portal now and send you to Mars!
Mr. King! I would like to thank you on behalf of the SpaceX Company!
Youre welcome! For freedom!

Chapter 304 C Americans That Are Filled with Love (2)
Youre welcome! For freedom!
Musks eyes reddened at Chen Yus words. Immediately, he followed after Chen Yu while contacting his assistant with his satellite phone.
Hello, Headmaster.
Hello, Headmaster.
Along the way, both professors and students greeted Chen Yu enthusiastically, revealing his popularity and charm in the Transdimensional Academy.
Shortly after, the two of them arrived at the courtyard outside the Headmasters Tower.
After entering the lobby, Chen Yu snapped his fingers.
Rumble
A corner of the lobbys ceiling slowly unfolded and transformed into a spiraling staircase.
Follow me!
After hooking his finger at Musk, Chen Yu entered the main hall and arrived before the spectacular Interstellar Portal.
When can we start? Chen Yu asked while manipulating the portals virtual console.
We can start now! Musk replied swiftly. The two astronauts are already on standby. One of them is a botanist, and the other is an engineer. They can land on Mars at any time.
Where are they now?
Hawthorne, California Suppressing his excitement, Musk stated the full address to Chen Yu.
Mhm.
Nodding, Chen Yu found the location and pressed Confirm.
Buzz!
Space within the metal arch trembled slightly. The next moment, the scenery inside the metal arch changed to that of the SpaceX Companys garden square.
Currently, it was still nighttime in America. However, the square was brightly lit and crowded with people. All sorts of equipment, materials, and packaging boxes were also stacked around the square.
Meanwhile, standing at the forefront of the crowd of people was one black and one white space suit-wearing astronauts. Both of them straightened their backs when they saw the portal appearing.
What excellent efficiency! Chen Yu gave Musk a thumbs up.
Its nothing. After you?
The bullets in America are too free. Ill go change my clothing first.
After saying so, Chen Yu left for the study, leaving Musk standing awkwardly beside the portal.
One minute later.
When Chen Yu left the study, he was already clad in his protective suit. Lets go.
After you.
Not wanting to waste time, Chen Yu stepped through the portal, instantly crossing thousands of kilometers and arriving on American soil.
Clap, clap, clap
Thunderous applause immediately rang out in the square.
Everyone present stared at Chen Yu with eager eyes. They thoroughly displayed the friendliness and enthusiasm of Americas people.
Dontstop. Chen Yu stretched out his hands and took the lead in applauding.
Hence, the applause became even more enthusiastic.
Clap, clap.
Clap, clap, clap
One minute.
Three minutes.
Five minutes
Clap, clap
The applause continued for a long time.
The excited smiles that were originally on everyones faces also gradually turned stiff.
However, seeing as Chen Yu was still excitedly clapping his hands, everybody naturally did not dare to stop clapping. Gritting their teeth, they continued clapping their aching palms.
Clap, clap, clap
The applause had continued for five minutes, and several women with weak constitutions had begun to sweat all over.
M-Mr. King By now, even Musk felt his arms growing sore. Should we get to business now?
Everyone is too enthusiastic. Speeding up his clapping speed, Chen Yu said, Lets clap to our hearts content!
Everyone:
After another five minutes had passed, Chen Yu scanned the crowd. Upon seeing that everyone was dead tired, he smiled and said, Okay, thats enough. I can feel everyones enthusiasm.
Thud!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the rear portion of the crowd collapsed to the ground. As for the employees standing at the front, with their boss looking at them, they had no choice but to force themselves to remain standing and smiling.
You guys are truly enthusiastic. Seeing the crowds trembling arms and swollen palms, Chen Yu felt moved and couldnt help but start clapping once more.
Clap, clap, clap!
Everyones expressions collapsed as they raised their hands and applauded together with Chen Yu once more.
M-Mr. King, lets start the teleportation. Its going to be dawn in a while, Musk said while wearing a forced smile on his face.
Oh, is that so. Raising his head and looking up at the dark sky, Chen Yu retracted his hands regretfully and said, Lets stop here, then. Business is more important.
Quick! Everyone get moving! Organize the supplies! To prevent Chen Yu from leading the crowd into another round of applause, Musk hurriedly urged his employees to work. He then turned to ask Chen Yu, Mr. King, can you connect the portal to Mars now?
No problem. After gesturing an OK, Chen Yu slid his finger across the portals virtual console. Should we set the landing spot at Ares Vallis? That place is flat and suitable for building residential areas. Its easier to collect rocks from there as well.
Aris Vallis Musks eyes wandered for a moment.
Based on the inside information he received from the government, the Chinese government had chosen Aris Vallis as their landing spot.
If they could establish their colony in the Aris Vallis before the Chinese space crew arrived
After giving Chen Yu a vague glance, Musk agreed decisively and said, Aris Vallis is fine. You have the final say.
Okay. Nodding, Chen Yu initiated a spatial link with Marss surface.
The next moment, the world beyond the metal arch changed from the Headmasters Towers main hall to a red, desolate planet.
MarsAres Vallis.
Clap, clap!
Chen Yu clapped his hands and attracted everyones attention. He then stepped aside from the portal and said, Everyone, start piling the supplies before me. Set the fall-resistant items at the front and the machinery at the rear. Ill be tossing the items over in a moment to increase the efficiency. As for the two astronauts, rest for now and conserve your energy for the work that youll need to do on Mars afterward.
At Chen Yus words, everyone subconsciously turned to look at Musk.
Listen to Mr. Kings instructions, Musk said. He felt pleasantly surprised to hear that Chen Yu was willing to help out.
Immediately, SpaceXs employees started busying themselves. They carried the packages containing daily necessities and stacked them in front of Chen Yu.
Mr. Musk, it looks like your male employees are quite fit, huh? They look like they can match up to the special forces, Chen Yu said nonchalantly.
Y-You jest
Chen Yu shrugged. Not minding these little details, he picked up a supply box and tossed it through the portal behind him.
Whoosh!
The box disappeared along with the howling of the wind.
Chen Yu had single-handedly tossed the supply box that needed at least four people to carry across a distance of 10 meters.
Everyones pupils shrank at this sight.
What a bunch of country bumpkins Chen Yu muttered in contempt when he saw the shocked expressions on everyones faces. He then shouted, Hey, what are you doing standing around? Hurry up and work.
Immediately, the employees snapped out of their dazes and resumed moving the boxes.
These were all items that were customized for the Martian environment. The food, drinking water, seeds, tools, lightweight glass, alloy walls, and chemical products prepared all cost an exorbitant price.
If only two astronauts were to utilize these items, they could easily survive for more than two years. Meanwhile, two years was more than enough for the Falcon 9 heavy rocket to reach Mars.
Boom!
Boom, boom
Under Chen Yus extraordinary strength and endurance, the supply boxes were thrown onto the surface of Mars one after another. In less than five minutes, 75% of the supplies were shipped already. The remainder were all high-precision, high-tech products and were not suited for violent transportation.
OK. Patting the dust off his body, Chen Yu revealed an evil smirk inside his helmet and said happily, Enthusiastic people of America
Chapter 305 - Americans That Are Filled with Love (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 305 C Americans That Are Filled with Love (3)
Patting off the dust on his body, Chen Yu rubbed his shoulders and said to Musk, Its done. Have those two astronauts move the fragile equipment themselves.
Okay, okay! Grasping Chen Yus hands, Musk gratefully said, Mr. King, thank you very much for helping us to such an extent!
Thats something I should do. After all, this is for all of mankind.
I would like to thank you for your contribution on behalf of the SpaceX Company. If there is anything you need from SpaceX in the future, we will help you to the best of our abilities.
While Chen Yu and Musk were conversing with each other, the two astronauts put on their helmets and lifted a piece of equipment supported by a tripod. They then carefully stepped toward the Interstellar Portal.
However, the instant the two astronauts were about to step through the spatial film, the Martian world in the portal disappeared, and replacing it was complete darkness.
Shocked, the astronauts hurriedly stopped their footsteps.
Meanwhile, Musk, who had been staring at the portal throughout his conversation with Chen Yu, was also stunned by this situation. M-Mr. King, look at the portal! Why did it blacken?
Blacken? Chen Yu turned around in confusion. Upon seeing the pitch-black metal arch, he frowned and asked, Huh? What happened? Did you guys touch anything?
D-Did you touch anything? the black astronaut asked his companion.
No. The white astronaut shook his head frantically. Did you?
No!
B-Boss, we didnt touch anything
W-Whats going on? Suppressing the bad premonition in his heart, Musk asked, Mr. King, did it automatically go into standby mode?
Its not a computer, so how can there be an automatic standby mode? Maintaining a stern expression inside his helmet, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and carefully scrutinized it. After failing to find any abnormalities, he activated the console and found that the virtual projection was still usable. Crap.
Crap?! Clenching his fists subconsciously, Musk asked with a trembling voice, Did it malfunction?
Its not a malfunction. Taking a step back, Chen Yu turned around and shrugged, The portals out of batteries.
Musk: ?
Everyone: ???
Yes, its out of batteries.
This thing uses electricity?! Musk asked in a raised tone.
Of course. Go find me a perpetual motion machine, then.
No What I mean is, can this portal from the future run out of power so quickly?
Its not really quick. Reaching out and patting the metal arch, Chen Yu sighed and said, I havent stopped using it since my first official livestream. Ive used it several hundred times already. Its already amazing it could last for so long. Moreover, the energy consumption this time is indeed large. We tossed over 200 larger boxes from Earth to Mars, so its normal for it to run out of power.
T-Then lets recharge it quickly?
It cant be charged. It uses antimatter batteries.
What now, then?
Dont worry. Everything will be fine once we replace the batteries, Chen Yu said, waving his hand.
Hearing this, Musk breathed out a sigh of relief. That scared me. I thought the plan was going to be a waste. How long will it take to replace the batteries?
Not long; just half a month.
Okay, then. Wellhalf a month?
Yes, half a month.
Half a month?!
Mhm.
Half a month?!!
Are you a voice recorder?
Why does it take half a month to change the batteries?! Musk couldnt help but snarl.
I dont have this kind of battery at hand, so Ill have to get one delivered from the future. The soonest I can get one is half a month.
B-But if we delay it for half a month, the first to land on Mars will be
It can only be China. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, Who would have that that the batteries would die at this time? But fortunately, the materials we worked so hard to transport wouldnt go to waste. Chinas astronaut team can use them.
Immediately, a variety of abnormal colors dyed the faces of everyone present
We human beings are of one body. What does it matter if someone else uses the materials? Its just a matter of switching from the left hand to the right hand. It just so happens that the Chinese astronaut team left in a hurry. They mustve had a problem with the logistics supply. Patting Musk on the shoulder, Chen Yu concluded, Dont fret.
His hands and feet growing cold, Musk muttered, T-The losses
Do you think a country as wealthy as China would dine and dash? When I return, Ill have them pay your company at 15% above the normal price for the materials. I definitely cant let my partner suffer a loss.
With the results placed before his eyes, Musk naturally understood that this was Chen Yus ploy.
From the moment the other party said that wont be possible, he shouldve known that it was wishful thinking to break the originally formulated cooperation plan and damage Chinas interest to become the first country to have someone land on Mars.
The subsequent performances were merely a punishment for his refusal to back off
Thinking up to this point, Musk relied on his superhuman endurance to suppress his negative emotions. He then bit his tongue before saying, Mr. King, I understand. Lets proceed with the colonization plan as planned. We will re-prepare the materials and personnel.
Okay. We will proceed according to the contract and set the departure date in three months. We must all have the spirit of the contract. Sliding his finger across the virtual globe and establishing a spatial link to the floating castle, Chen Yu nodded and said, Todays problem is due to my negligence, so Ill increase the cargo you can carry next time by another 20% as compensation.
Hearing this, Musks expression loosened significantly. Thank you, M.r King. We have caused you trouble this time.
No problem, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. Just as he was about to enter the metal arch, however
UP! Didnt you say the portal is out of power? How can it be used now? a young and energetic white man in the corner shouted suddenly.
Pausing his footsteps, Chen Yu turned around and focused his gaze on the young man.
Uh
The young man stepped back subconsciously, his body feeling cold all over.
The energy required to connect Earth with Mars is much greater. The remaining energy is barely enough for me to teleport around Earth once, Chen Yu said in a flat tone. Is that reason enough?
I-Its enough
Good, then. Goodbye.
After Chen Yu passed through the spatial film, the metal arch gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Meanwhile, in a corner where nobody was paying attention to, the infrared sensor of a surveillance camera flickered
After returning to the Headmasters Tower, Chen Yu disconnected the spatial link and changed the portals appearance while he was at it.
Previously, the portal went black because he had activated a function called teleportation limitation.
In the future, the use of Interstellar Portals was mainly for transporting. And due to cost considerations, only products of high quality were allowed to be transported. To put it simply, a fat person cost more energy to transport than a thin person. To ensure profitability, one would place restrictions on the portals and prohibit the fat person from using them
Afterward, Chen Yu went into the study, removed his protective suit, and took a quick shower. He then changed into casual clothing and established a spatial link to his home.
Buzz!
Once the spatial link was established, Chen Yu stepped through the portal. However, to his surprise, Little Peach was absent from the room.
The door of his bedroom was also wide open.
Startled, he hurriedly ran out of his bedroom, only to be bewildered immediately afterward.

Chapter 306 C Physique Improves
One hour after HAL was connected to the internet, astonishing results had already started showing.
Servers, supercomputers, personal computers, KTV platforms, monitoring systems, weather satellites, military radio stations So long as it was an electronic item connected to the internet, HAL would be connected.
Meanwhile, thanks to the huge amount of data and computing power these electronic items provided, HAL had completed thousands of knowledge and technological breakthroughs in just one hour.
Its completed
Inside HALs hall, the white, middle-aged professors eyes turned bloodshot as he quickly flipped through the code written by the team he led. With a trembling tone, he repeated, Its really completed
Whats completed? the CEO asked.
Intelligence has emerged. With a contented expression, the professor said, From now on, HAL can be considered an intelligent life in a sense.
Can you elaborate?
Of course. Sliding his finger across the circular screen and exiting HALs database, the professor said excitedly, In the world of artificial intelligence, the birth of intelligence requires computing power. However, computing power is never an essential reason for the birth of wisdom and thinking. Just like the human brain, despite being limited in computing power, it possesses powerful logical reasoning ability.
Computers use logic gates to map the most basic logical relationships, and logic gates form logic circuits, which are then used to map and store more complex upper-level logic. Therefore, computers can map logical relationships through logic gates and inherited circuits. A computers thinking process is as such: accepting data, analyzing data using logical relationships, and obtaining results.
On the other hand, the human brains learning of logical relations relies on reasoning and induction. In contrast, the integrated circuit structure composed of computer logic gates is fixed. It cannot be changed dynamically, and the self-organization of the data structure is completely lost. If this point isnt changed, then computers will have to forever rely on the data description provided and the programs written by humans to think.
However, just now, after acquiring data from the global internet, HALs heuristic program has, with evolution as its focus, succeeded in automatically reversing underlying logic and completing the fuzzification of mathematical logic. Finally, similar to humans, HAL is capable of ignoring unstructured abnormalities. This is the foundation for the birth of thinking, consciousness, and emotions!
To put it simply, HALs world is no longer composed of just 0s and 1s.
Mr. CEO, do you understand what Im saying?
With a dazed expression, the CEO asked, What did you say?
OK, lets not talk about those specialized subjects. What the board of directors and I want to know is how long we have to wait before we can start reaping benefits?
We can start now. Spreading his arms, the professor said, The world, is ours
Jinzhou City, Chen familys abode:
After walking through the portal and seeing his bedrooms opened door and Little Peachs absence in his room, Chen Yu tensed up immediately before rushing out of his room.
After exiting his room, the first thing he saw was Little Peach holding onto the Amnesia Bat while eyeing the sofa with a serious gaze.
Meanwhile, lying unconscious on the sofa were Mother Chen, Chen Yike, Chen Erke, Chen Sanke, and the husky
Walking forward hesitantly, Chen Yu scrutinized his sleeping family briefly before asking Little Peach, W-What are you doing?
Huh? Mr. Chen, youre back?! Little Peach turned her head around sharply and jumped up in excitement when she heard Chen Yus voice. Todays livestream lasted for so long.
Uh? Seemingly awakened by Little Peachs shouting, Chen Erke sat up from the sofa in a daze and rubbed her weary eyes.
Seeing this, Little Peach skillfully swung the Amnesia Bat at Chen Erke, Hup!
Thump!
Chen Erke collapsed back onto the sofa and fell asleep.
Grasping at his hair, Chen Yu bellowed, Big Sis! What the heck are you doing?!
1
Heh! Picking up the rubber chicken sitting on the coffee table, Little Peach gave it a squeeze before saying, Like you said, I took the initiative to attack!
Even so, is there a need to keep hitting them?!
The best way to silence someone is to kill them. But as I cannot kill your family, I had them remain unconscious throughout this time, Little Peach said while sending the Amnesia Bat smashing into Mother Chen, who started showing signs of awakening as well. The Amnesia Bat has an excellent health care function. It even thoroughly healed your second sisters cold.
Well, thank you very much.
I am only doing what I should.
Snatching the Amnesia Bat, Chen Yu smacked Little Peachs forehead and said, Carry them back to their rooms. If you continue smacking them, they wont even remember what happened yesterday.
Mr. Chen, wont you play for a while?
Scram.
Storing the Amnesia Bat away, Chen Yu returned to his room and opened the curtains. As he scanned the scenery outside the window, he suddenly felt as if he had nothing to do.
After resting on his bed for a short moment, he raised his wrist and swiped his finger across his watch to inspect his harvest from todays livestream.
He had garnered a total of 48.77 million viewers from the ten livestream rooms, and they netted him 1,625 points. Combined with his leftover points, he now had 1,860 points in total.
With such a small amount of points, he wouldnt even be able to exchange for a Miniature Antimatter Destruction Generator. However, since he had nothing better to do, he still decided to check the Transdimensional Store.

Upon seeing the fourth product, Chen Yus eyes lit up in excitement. After sitting up and rereading the product description, he purchased the item without hesitation.
The next moment, space in the middle of the room twisted, forming a white whirlpool.
Boom. The white box landed.
The wormhole then slowly disappeared.
Taking a step forward, Chen Yu picked up the box and tore off the seal.
Opening the box, Chen Yu found a spiral syringe inside. It looked exactly the same as the syringe that contained the First Generation NE Sodium Gene Injection. The liquid contained inside the syringe was also blue in color. Unlike the First Generation version though, the Second Generations liquid had sequins inside, and they sparkled like stars when sunlight shone on them.
Meanwhile, written on the syringes exterior were the following words:
Superhuman Groups Honorary Product.
Its them again
Taking the syringe out of the box, Chen Yu held it up to the window and carefully inspected it.
Compared to the First Generation version, the blue liquid inside the Second Generations syringe seemed to flow much more quickly.
Its looking more and more like the t-Virus.
After skillfully removing the syringes cap, Chen Yu placed the needle against his shoulder and pushed down!
Stab!
The moment the needle stabbed into Chen Yus muscle tissue, the syringes spiral structure began to rotate and squeeze, pushing the blue liquid into his body.
Buzz Click.
Five seconds later, all of the liquid was injected, and the red indicator on the syringe lit up.
Quickly, Chen Yu removed the needle and licked the needle wound.
The bleeding stopped immediately.
Now that he had achieved success in life, he no longer had a need to exchange the empty syringe for another product. Tossing the syringe onto his desk, he laid on his bed and waited for the drug to take effect.
He could clearly sense that the Second Generation NE Sodium Gene Injection was much more effective than the First Generation version. In less than five minutes, his skin turned faintly red, and steam was rising off of his body.
Half a minute later, he found the heat somewhat unbearable and took off his shirt. Only then did he feel cool again.
However, at this time, Little Peach, who had completed her task, skipped and hopped into the bedroom. And upon seeing Chen Yu only in his shorts, her eyes flashed red instantly.
Mr. Chen! Youre finally ready?!
Chen Yu: ???
Tear!
Tearing off her dress, Little Peach pounced on Chen Yu while cheering. Ura!

Chen Yu: !!!
Chapter 307 - Tenth Official Livestream (Prelude)

Chapter 307 C Tenth Official Livestream (Prelude)
On March 1st, all schools in Jinzhou City reopened.
At 7:30 in the morning, the Chen familys four young masters left home and went to school together after finishing their breakfast.
As usual, Chen Yu took on the role of a human shelf, carrying his three little sisters backpack and his own backpack as he led the way.
1
Ah Why does time pass so quickly, Chen Erke pouted in dissatisfaction upon entering the elevator. I havent even finished my winter homework yet.
Arent you embarrassed to say that? Chen Yike said as she glanced at her little sister. Youve been playing with your phone all vacation. Just wait for your form teacher to give you a beating.
Impossible! Im the class representative. Im responsible for checking everyones homework. How can I possibly let other people find out I didnt do my homework?
Arent you afraid that your form teacher will check yours?
At that time, I can just take a random classmates homework and write my name on it, Chen Erke said as she puffed up her chest proudly.
Power abusing scum. Giving Chen Erke a look of contempt, Chen Yu said, Just look at yourself. Do you look anything like a student?
Did you do your winter homework, then? Chen Erke said, unwilling to submit.
Heh, I havent done any homework since kindergarten, Chen Yu said with his nose upright.
Chen Erke:
Holding her forehead, Chen Yike asked, Is that something to be proud of?
Wah! Clapping her hands, Chen Sanke said, Big Brother is amazing!
Its nothing. All you need is to develop your perseverance and resistance to beatings.
Dont lead children astray!
After exiting the elevator, the four siblings walked on their usual route. And in less than five minutes, the group arrived at the kindergarten Chen Sanke studied at.
Halting his footsteps, Chen Yu placed Chen Sankes backpack on her back and patted her little head. Go on. Make sure to listen to your teachers, and dont fall.
Mhm! Nodding, Chen Sanke wobbled her way through the school gate with her two short legs.
Lets go.
After seeing a female teacher receiving Chen Sanke, Chen Yu turned around and continued leading the way.
Roughly seven minutes later, the group of three arrived before the entrance of a bustling grade school.
Take it, Chen Yu said as he passed the backpack in his right hand to Chen Erke. He then hooked a finger at his little sister and continued, Gimme your phone.
Ah? Taking a step back after receiving her backpack, Chen Erke said, I didnt bring my phone.
Bullshit. Hand it over quickly.
I really didnt bring it. Chen Erke shrugged. A student must study hard. How can I possibly bring my phone to school and interfere with my studies?
Do you even believe these words youre saying?
No.
Give it to me.
Uu Biting her lips, Chen Erke hesitated for a long time before untying her trousers and reluctantly pulling out her phone from her crotch.
Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
Chen Yike shifted her gaze away.
Here. After placing the phone in Chen Yus hand, Chen Erke ran into the school compound in a huff and disappeared.
We cant keep this little sister of ours anymore.
Mhm.
After sending off his three little sisters, Chen Yu walked through four traffic lights and arrived at Jinzhou Citys Sixth High School.
When he entered Class 2-2, he found that the classroom was the same as usual.
Some students were eating snacks, some blinding others with their relationships, some making boastful claims, and some watching anime on their phones. Everyone thoroughly displayed the graceful bearing of Sixth Highs students.
Hey! Brother Chen, youre here? Leaning against the balcony, Li Liang rubbed his bald head as he greeted Chen Yu warmly, Happy New Year.
Hearing this, Chen Yu looked over and squinted, When did our school install balcony lights?
Your mouth is getting more and more inhuman.
How was your winter break? Sitting on his seat, Chen Yu tossed his backpack aside and crossed his legs. It seems your right arm grew a lot stronger.
Perseverance will prevail, Li Liang said as he tugged on his pants.
Tsk, tsk. I cant help but feel ashamed for you.
Idiot.
Retard
After greeting his good friend whom he hadnt seen for a while and expressing their profound friendship with each other, Chen Yu opened his backpack and blew at it. Hu!
Dust scattered into the air.
Bah. In contempt, Li Liang said, Have you not read any of the books inside since vacation began?
Have you? Chen Yu asked, lifting an eyebrow.
Patting his schoolbag, Li Liang said triumphantly, Ive never looked at mine before.
Tch. A male student sitting behind Chen Yu rolled his eyes and said, You speak as if anyone here has read a book before.
Textbooks? The female student to Chen Yus right raised her hand, Ive never read them before, either.
Why would you read books in the quiet classroom instead of playing with your phone? Are you sick?
Book? What is a book?
Seeing his surrounding classmates discussing academic issues, Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction as he muttered, Sixth High truly is the hope of mankind
After sorting through his textbooks, Chen Yu leaned against his chair and rested his eyes while listening to the exchanges of his fellow classmates.
The improvement of his physique had granted him even more excellent hearing. Now, he could hear even the conversations held in the class next door clearly.
Meanwhile, as he expected, almost everyone was discussing Chinas upcoming Mars landing event.
At this point, this matter had already become the focus of global discussion.
Chen Yu also heard quite a few people discussing Transdimensional Review in hushed tones with his excellent hearing.
Evidently, the governments information ban had thoroughly lost its effectiveness already.
From now onward, every new livestream he hosted would most likely see a drastic increase in viewership.
Lets just take things one step at a time
Hey, Brother Chen. Shortly afterward, Li Liang, who had nothing better to do, hopped off the balcony and leaned to Chen Yus side. Have you heard? Our form teacher got replaced.
Who?
I heard its a woman. It seems shes been transferred over from the province.
Im asking who our original form teacher is.
I cant remember. Who was it?
Our Chinese language teacher. Hes male.
Oh! Him. His eyes still closed, Chen Yu nodded and said, Good riddance. He brainwashed me with his singing during last years exams. Even now, I can still hear the lyrics My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment, in my sleep from time to time.
After taking a look at his surroundings, Li Liang then leaned into Chen Yus ear and started talking about the real topic he wanted to talk about. Brother Chen, do you know about the matter of our country sending a rocket to Mars?
I doubt theres anybody who doesnt know of it by this point, right? Chen Yu opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing across his eyes.
Theres actually an inside story to this! Li Liang said in a suppressed voice while winking his eyes mysteriously. Do you know about Transdimensional Review?
I know. Chen Yu nodded.
Huh? Li Liang was stunned.
I said, I know.
H-How did you find out?
Xing Biqi told me before.
A-According to normal plot development, you shouldnt know about it! Originally, you shouldve asked me about it, then I will show off for a while before telling you the truth hidden in the world, giving you a shock
Have you been reading too many third-rate webnovels recently? You think the readers cant tell your blatant attempt to add to the word count? Chen Yu patted his table.
1
Is there anything else? If not, get lost.
Seeing Li Liang walking away with his bald head, Chen Yu yawned and pulled out a set of sponge earplugs from his pocket. Just as he had plugged his ears and was about to take a nap, a faint fragrance entered his nose.
Xing Biqi?
Chen Yu opened his eyes again. Sure enough, he found the slim and graceful girl standing before him.
Chen Yu, long time no see, Xing Biqi said with a happy smile on her face.
Mhm. Long time no see. Pointing at the lunch box Xing Biqi carried, Chen Yu asked, Is that for me?
Mhm! Xing Biqi nodded. She then placed the lunch box on the table, opened it, and revealed a rich breakfast inside. I made it this morning. Have a taste.
You made so many different dishes?
Hehe. The girl smiled as she lightly stretched her hair. These are puffs, these are fruit skewers, these are shumais, these are vegetable buns, these are fried eggs with tomato sauce
Gulp.
Before Chen Yu could even make a reaction, Li Liang couldnt help but gulp as he said, Arent you afraid of getting a stomach ache from eating so many oily foods in the morning?
I removed the oil already, Xing Biqi retorted. The next moment, however, she couldnt help but be taken aback while exclaiming, Huh? Someones at the balcony?!
Oh, its you, Li Liang! Are you still sitting at the balcony?
Dammit! Did you just notice me now?!
I-I didnt pay attention, the girl said, scratching her head. Li Liang, are you trying to become the balconys permanent resident?
Jealous, right? You cant get this seat even with money! Li Liang immediately grew excited at the mention of his seat.
While the trio was conversing with each other, a woman with a tall waist wearing a teachers uniform walked into the classroom. From her angle, she immediately noticed Li Liang upon entering the classroom. Who turned on the light there?
Li Liang: ?
Its still early in the morning! Turn it off! the female teacher shouted.
Li Liang:
Stepping onto the podium, the female teacher placed her leather bag onto the table and said loudly, Students, I will be your new form teacher from today onwards. There isnt much time left before your college entrance exam begins, so I hope that during this time, everyone can follow my plan Why is that light bulb still on?!
Everyone in the class simultaneously turned around and squinted their eyes as they looked at Li Liangs bald head.
T-Teacher. Raising his hand hesitantly, Li Liang asked, Are you talking about me?
Huh? Squinting her eyes, the female teacher took out her myopia glasses and looked intently at Li Liang. She then exclaimed, Its actually a head?
1
Li Liang: Didnt expect that, did you?!
Ahahaha!
Hohoho.
Hahaha
Laughter instantly filled the classroom.
Silence! The female teacher picked up the blackboard eraser and smacked it against the blackboard. Everyone, quiet! Whoever continues laughing will have to clean the classroom for a month.
The noise gradually faded away.
Lightly pushing against her glasses, the female teacher said solemnly to Li Liang, Student, please return to your seat. Class is about to begin.
Teacher, this is my seat.
Hearing this, the female teachers expression changed subtly. She then took out a ruler from her bag and walked up slowly to the balcony. After scrutinizing Li Liangs figure, she asked, You, whats your name?
L-Li Liang Feeling a bad premonition, Li Liang started shrinking back his body.
Student Li Liang, please stretch out your palms.
Tea
Stretch it out.
I
Are you going to stretch them out or not? The teacher raised the ruler she held.
Li Liang tentatively stretched out his hands, and the ruler instantly descended toward his palms. However, the ruler didnt actually land on his palms. Instead, it merely hovered above them.
Student Li Liang, repeat what you just said.
M-My seat is here.
Seeing that Li Liang dared to repeat the same words, a fierce look appeared on the female teachers face, and she ruthlessly smacked her ruler onto Li Liangs palms.
Smack!
Ah~
Grabbing Li Liangs palms, the female teacher once more hovered her ruler above them and asked, Where is your seat.
I-Its here.
Smack!
Ah~
Where?
Teacher! Listen to meah!
Where?
Its like this; Iah!
Where? The female teacher grew increasingly angered by Li Liangs response. Where is your seat?
Grandma! Close to tears, Li Liang said, My seat really is hereah!
T-Teacher. Unable to stand watching this scene any longer, Xing Biqi said weakly, Li Liangs seat really is on the balcony. He doesnt have a table in class.
Oh? The female teacher was stunned by Xing Biqis words. Is that so?
Mhm. My seat was originally his, but there were no extra seats left after I joined this class. So, the previous form teacher had him sit at the balcony.
I see. Silently retrieving her ruler, the female teacher walked back to the podium, behaving as if nothing had just happened.
Enraged, Li Liang raised his palms and questioned, So I got hit for nothing?
Her footsteps pausing, the female teacher turned around, and expressionlessly raised her ruler. Stretch out your hands.
No.
If you dont do it, you dont need to come to school tomorrow.
I dont need to come to school? Upon hearing the teachers words, the grievances Li Liang felt disappeared instantly. He then asked in surprise, Really?
You can try.
Thats great!
The female teacher: ?
Teacher, you must stick to your words! Hurriedly pulling out his phone and clicking the voice recording function, Li Liang asked, Please repeat what you just said.
Did you not understand what I just said? The female teacher sternly said, If you dont stretch out your hands, you can go home immediately!
I understood it, but you need to give me a certification to prove that youve given me a holiday.
The female teacher: ?
Teacher. One of the male students seated at the back of the classroom raised his hand and asked, Can you include one for me as well?
The female teacher: ???
I want one as well!
Me too.
Itll be even better if you dont give us any homework.
Faced with this temptation, Chen Yu also couldnt help but raise his hand and said, Give me one too.
The female teacher was instantly stunned.
After standing in place for a long time, the teacher looked around in disbelief before asking, Are you all sick?
Can we only take a vacation if were sick?
My head has been hurting these past few days. Can I skip school tomorrow, teacher?
Cough! Cough, cough, cough
The female teacher who had been newly transferred to the school evidently didnt understand how Sixth Highs students operated. Thinking that her students were still messing with her, her face stiffened, and she sent her ruler smacking onto Li Liangs thigh.
Smack!
Ah~
Who wants a vacation?! the female teacher bellowed. Whoever wants one can leave immediately! Ill give them a half-year vacation! Leave if you dare!
Realizing that their form teacher was truly angered now, the students kicking up a fuss immediately fell silent.
However, Class 2 had a really stubborn person
Whoosh.
The next moment, Chen Yu stood up abruptly, picked up his backpack, and ran. Under the female teachers dumbfounded gaze, he disappeared from the classroom like a gust of wind.
What a wonderful opportunity!
His body trembling in excitement, Chen Yu ran faster and faster. In less than three minutes, he had already dashed out of the teaching block, climbed over the school fence, and disappeared into the bustling street outside
W-Who ran out just now?
Inside Class 2-2s classroom, after snapping out of her daze, the female teacher hurriedly ran up to the balcony and looked at the school gate.
Hes called Chen Yu. Zhen Congming, who was seated at the front of the class, ratted out Chen Yu immediately.
He Xing Biqi tried to say something to help defend Chen Yu with a worried look on her face. However, for fear of making things worse, she eventually decided to remain quiet.
Chen Yu the female teacher quietly muttered these two words with an ashen expression. She then returned to the podium, smacked her ruler against the table, and raved, I refuse to believe a high school student will dare play truant! Well wait! The whole class will wait! We wont start class if he doesnt come back!

Afterward
Half a month went by.
The snow melted, and the spring flowers bloomed.
After the sun and the moon alternated positions for more than a dozen times, the second Sunday of March arrived.
Once more, dozens of millions of people worldwide had their attention focused on Transdimensional Reviews livestream rooms.
A few bold private forums had even pinned threads titled Transdimensional Review on their front page.
The information ban on Transdimensional Review was gradually loosening

Chapter 308 - Worldwide Frenzy! Tenth Official Review! (1)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 308 C Worldwide Frenzy! Tenth Official Review! (1)
No matter what difficulties one encountered, one shouldnt be afraid, but face it with a smile instead.
The best way to eliminate trouble was to confront it directly.
Only through a frontal confrontation could one achieve victory!
Hence
At 8:30 AM on Sunday, Chen Yu took the initiative to attack and knocked on Chen Yikes door.
Opening the door slightly, Chen Yike poked her head through the gap and asked, What is it?
Go inside. Chen Yu squeezed his way into the room without letting his little sister protest and locked the door.
Uu Growing a little flustered, Chen Yike quickly retreated to her bed. Brother, w-why did you lock the door?
Instead of giving a verbal response, Chen Yu pulled out the Amnesia Bat from his pocket.
W-What is that?
Huff! Chen Yu blew hard on the intake valve, causing the purple bat to expand ten times in size instantly.
Chen Yikes pupils shrank at this sight.
Thats right. While caressing the Amnesia Bat, Chen Yu expressionlessly said, Youve guessed correctly all this time. I, Chen Yu, am Transdimensional Reviews uploader. I evaluate future technological products and bring change to mankind.
As expected Chen Yike gradually regained her calm. At the same time, her eyes lit up with a mysterious glow. I knew there was no problem with my reasoning! It really is you! Originally, I planned to visit your room once Transdimensional Reviews livestream starts today to debunk you. I never thought you would reveal yourself.
Actually, you already exposed me a few months ago.
What?!
But so what? Smiling, Chen Yu raised the Amnesia Bat and continued, You are, in the end, only a mortal. All of your efforts are meaningless in front of absolute technology. Stop struggling. Many truths in the world cannot be revealed, my dumb little sister
Dont
Thump!
The Amnesia Bat descended, and Chen Yikes eyes rolled backward. She then collapsed onto her bed, unconscious.
Storing the Amnesia Bat away, Chen Yu scrutinized his little sisters washboard figure. Sighing, he muttered, It really is important for a person to get adequate nutrition when young. Just look at Xing Biqi. How much older than you can she be? Tsk, tsk.
After saying so, Chen Yu took out the Hypnosis Rattle from his pocket and lightly shook it three times beside Chen Yikes ear.
Ding, ring
Invisible radio waves gradually spread out from the rattle and merged with Chen Yikes brain waves.
You, are looking at the ocean Chen Yu said in a gentle tone. You are lying on the soft, sandy beach and fell asleep.
S-Sleep
You are tired, very tired, very exhausted! So, go to sleep! Before three hours have passed, you wont wake up from your dream
After hypnotizing his little sister, Chen Yu returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and casually grabbed the yogurt drink bottle on the table. He then tore off the seal and gulped down the whole bottle.
S-So, it was you all along! Chen Erke, lying on the sofa and playing with her phone, widened her eyes in shock when she saw Chen Yus actions. So it was you who ate all of Third Eldests snacks?!
After emptying the bottle, Chen Yu pulled out the Amnesia Bat and smacked Chen Erkes head with it. You know too much.
Thump!
Thud.
After placing the empty bottle in Chen Erkes arms, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom, hiding his merit and fame
Mr. Chen, can I join you for this livestream?!
As soon as Chen Yu entered the room, Little Peach immediately approached him.
Sure. Chen Yu nodded. He then bent over and pulled out two sets of clothing from under his bed. Passing the cheongsam to Little Peach, he said, This is going to be my first review for the C- level. I dont know what product Im going to receive, so I have to bring you along. I might need your help.
No problem! Little Peach said as she excitedly changed her clothes. With me around, I guarantee your livestream will proceed smoothly, Mr. Chen!
Hearing this, Chen Yu, who was in the midst of changing his own clothing, paused. Why do I suddenly feel as if this review isnt going to go smoothly?
Huh?
Can you not set up such flags in the future?
Okay
After putting on his robe, Chen Yu wore his opera mask and inspected himself through the floating camera. Failing to find any problems, he approached the Interstellar Portal and began establishing a spatial link. Lets conduct the review this time in someplace other than the floating castle. Its going to be aesthetically boring if we keep broadcasting from the same location.
Little Peach, who had also finished changing into her cheongsam, suggested, Lets go to the Middle East. I heard it is very lively there.
Makes sense!
1
Two odd minds reached a surprising agreement. Chen Yu then established a spatial link to the Middle Easts Afghanistan.
Buzz!
Three seconds later, the spatial link was established. Chen Yu then pushed open the door and stepped through the portal.
Afghanistan was a few hours behind China, so the sky was just starting to brighten here.
After exiting the portal, Chen Yu found a clean rock to sit down on. He then raised his watch to look at the time.
It was 8:50 in the morning now.
Mr. Chen, its not lively here at all, Little Peach said, frowning as she exited the portal and observed her surroundings. She then picked up a bullet casing from the ground and wondered, Didnt the internet mention there was fighting here?
Chen Yu couldnt be bothered to answer Little Peachs question. After scanning his surroundings, he pulled out his phone and entered WeChat to send a message.
[Chen Yu: There?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, the product this time is slightly large and is unsuited to be delivered to your home. However, your current location is perfect, so please wait a while longer. Do you have any other questions?]
[Chen Yu: None.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: In that case, I wish you a smooth broadcast. Goodbye.]
[Chen Yu: I have another question.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please let it go. :)]
[Chen Yu: Let it go?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please speak.]
[Chen Yu: Its like this; Ive been constantly concerned about the product thats capable of destroying the solar system. Will I be able to receive it after this episode?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im sorry, Mr. Chen, but that product is simply too dangerous. You will need to accumulate at least one more defensive technological product before you can receive it.]
[Chen Yu: I understand, then. Is this episodes product a defensive-type item?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It isnt a purely defensive product. However, it holds a certain degree of defensive capabilities. Mr. Chen, the signal on my side seems to be fluctuating. I cant continue conv]
[Chen Yu: Who do you think youre fooling?!]
The higher my access level is, the more disrespectful this woman becomes. Just wait for my complaint.
After muttering a small complaint, Chen Yu stood up and tossed his phone back to his room. He then disconnected the spatial link and altered the portals appearance to the metal arch tens of millions of people were familiar with.
Put on your mask. The livestreams going to start soon.
Okay! Little Peach pulled out her mask from her chest and put it on.
How did you stuff it in?
Tapping on the curved mask, Little Peach said, The shape is just right! Is there a problem?
No.
Time passed by, second after second.
When Chen Yu saw the time displayed on his watch ticking to 8:55, he activated the livestream rooms without hesitation.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[All webcasting platforms worldwide connected!]
8.64 million people.
48.91 million people.
88.77 million people
The thousands of livestream rooms available worldwide simultaneously welcomed IP addresses from all over the world.
The livestreams total viewer count broke past 100 million instantly
Are you kidding me
Chen Yu felt his scalp going numb.
Although he had known that todays livestream would see a massive spike in viewership, he did not expect to see 100 million people to watch his stream.
Sure enough, once the restrictions were lifted, the infectiousness of public opinion was quite terrifying.
Meanwhile, this drastic increase in viewer count also proved that the various governments information ban had thoroughly lost its effectiveness.
The era of Transdimensional Review setting off a worldwide frenzy was officially here!
Chapter 309 - Worldwide Frenzy! Tenth Official Review! (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 309 C Worldwide Frenzy! Tenth Official Review! (2)
Middle East, Afghanistan:
Chen Yu looked at the rapidly rising number displayed on his watch with a stiff expression.
In just five short seconds, the total viewer count had gone from 100 million to 110 million
Earth had just a little over seven billion people.
In other words, one out of every seventy people on Earth was watching his livestream.
Without question, his every action would now have a dramatic impact on the world.
[What the? Why did you start ahead of schedule?!]
[Oh la la!]
[First!]
[First, first!]
[Its already the tenth episode, yet only now did I find out about Transdimensional Reviews existence]
[It turns out that the truth is in Bilibili.]
[The truth is in Kuaishou as well.]
[My God!]
[The female assistant! Its actually the female assistant! Long time no see!]
[Shes also wearing my favorite cheongsam ?(^_-)]
[The assistant is in good shape. She needs a gentleman to accompany her.]
[Now this is the Transdimensional Review I remember!]
[There are too many bullet comments! I cant see anything!]
After Chen Yu waited for half a minute, the increase in viewership started weakening. As it so happened, the total viewer count also exceeded 150 million.
Lowering his wrist, Chen Yu straightened his back and looked at the camera. After suppressing the tension in his heart, he straightened his mask and said his opening remarks in a deep tone, Friends in the various livestream rooms, good morning.
This is Transdimensional Reviews tenth official livestream. I am delighted to meet everyone. According to the data I have, there are currently 150 million people watching this livestream in total right now. Moreover, this number is still rising.
Honestly, I am starting to feel the pressure. At this point, the information ban on me has already thoroughly lost its effectiveness. In that case, the implications of every little action I make will be magnified thousands of times. This is a trial for me.
Today, Ive deliberately opened the livestream rooms five minutes ahead of schedule so that I can express two things.
Firstly, I would like to thank the various countries governments for their long-term support. They have maintained the information ban for nearly a year, and this is no easy feat. Although the information ban has crumbled now, it can still be considered a success. So, thank you.
After saying so, Chen Yu bowed slightly to the camera.
Secondly, with the increasing number of viewers, the chain reactions my livestreams produce will become more and more complicated. The direct and indirect impacts my livestream has on the world can no longer be ignored. Hence, I hope that everyone watching Transdimensional Review can remain calm as you watch my livestreams. No matter how special a product I review and how much changes it can bring to the world, do not instigate problems, spread rumors, exaggerate issues or cause chaos. Group matters always need to be taken seriously. I do not wish for people and organizations to be harmed because of my livestreams.
Anyway, as only one-third of the 150 millionno, 160 million viewers present are veteran viewers, allow me to reintroduce myself to my new friends.
I, am an independent media that reviews technological products from the future. The products I review are delivered to me by a company from the future. My goal is very simple as well, and that is to advertise products. Meanwhile, todays livestream is the tenth official livestream, and I will host official livestreams once every month.
Apart from official livestreams, I will also host additional livestreams when the circumstances allow for it. This is usually when I discover an interesting or important product from the future. Whenever I am going to be holding an additional livestream, I will normally publish an announcement on the various broadcasting platforms. So long as you frequently check in on my channel, you wont miss it.
To be clear, I will not edit the additional livestreams into videos. Once you miss an additional livestream, you may never see it again. However, since the information ban has crumbled already, you might find recorded versions made by netizens if you carefully search through the internet. I wont elaborate more on this point.
Lastly, I hope that everyone can broaden their horizons and discover the charm of technology and human culture through Transdimensional Review. Thats it for my introduction. Let us begin todays livestream.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked at his watch and spoke in his usual calm voice. It is now 8:59 AM in Beijing time. The tenth official livestreams product will arrive through a space-time wormhole in less than one minute.
[We get to see that hole again?]
[I got scared the last time.]
[What hole?]
[Its big, round, flexible, and cute.]
[???]
[Just sit back and wait for it to appear.]
[Why am I getting nervous from watching a livestream]
[I feel that the number of people watching isnt just 160 million. My whole family is watching the stream, but were only using one IP address to do so.]
[Wrong! Im using two IP addresses here. I have one phone for myself, and one phone for my cat. ( ????)]
[Didnt the host say the information ban has failed? Why are my forum posts still getting deleted?]
Counting down from ten. Nine.
Eight.
Seven
At this moment, individuals, collective communities, scientific research institutions, and government departments worldwide focused on the livestream. Even Googles CEO and the white, middle-aged professor, who were holed up inside the HAL Hall, had temporarily set aside the data they were observing to focus on the livestream.
The tenth official livestream would be different from past official livestreams.
This would be the first time Transdimensionals UP would be reviewing a product in the so-called C- level. The technological content of the product would exceed the previous products he reviewed by order of magnitudes.
Three.
Two.
One
Its coming!
After Chen Yu said so, he suddenly raised his head and looked up.
Simultaneously, a circular hole began opening up in the morning sky!
Ten meters.
Fifty meters.
One hundred meters!
In just two seconds, the hole had expanded to cover a 300-meter radius!
[Crap!]
[Crap]
[So, this is a space-time wormhole?]
[I keep getting the feeling that Im dreaming.]
[Amazing]
[It feels like Im watching a sci-fi movie!]
[If this wasnt recorded on camera, nobody would believe this happened.]
When the wormholes radius reached 500 meters, it finally stopped expanding.
A massive black shadow then gradually emerged from the wormhole.
This is Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Buzz
This was the first time the space-time wormhole had made such a strange sound.
However, when he listened carefully, he found that the source of the sound was the black shadow.
The sky, darkened.
The winds, howled.
Everyone among the audience suddenly felt a sense of oppression deep inside their souls.
Chen Yu, who was at the scene, even started breaking out in cold sweat.
Even the expression of Little Peach, an artificial intelligence, gradually turned severe.
This wasnt an illusion.
Instead, it was a subtle pressure that existed on a physical level
Buzz
Rumble!
Maybe it was because of the shadows peculiarity, but the space-time wormhole, which had always shown itself to be stable until now, actually began trembling slightly. The clouds surrounding that came into contact with the black shadow also erupted with a deafening explosion.
Come here
Grabbing Little Peachs hand, Chen Yu started backing away and stood before the Interstellar Portal. He was ready to escape at any time.
He had received dozens of future products and triggered the activation of dozens of space-time wormholes. However, never had he seen such a strange sight before.
Boom!
Rumble, rumble
Amidst the deafening explosions, the space-time wormhole finally spat out the product with great difficulty.
With the sunlights help, Chen Yu could clearly see that the massive objects appearance looked like adumbbell that was magnified thousands of times?
Or, to put it in another way, it looked like the kegel ball women used during their postpartum recovery
This
What is this thing
Chapter 310 - Worldwide Frenzy! Tenth Official Review! (3)
Chapter 310 C Worldwide Frenzy! Tenth Official Review! (3)
Contrary to everyones expectations, after the mysterious object fully emerged from the wormhole, it actually stopped descending and simply stayed suspended in the sky.
The object was 500 meters long and 100 meters wide. The spheres on the left and right sides were connected to each other by a cylinder. At first glance, the object looked like a gigantic dumbbell.
To be precise, it looked more like the kegel ball women used during their postpartum recovery
After a while, the space-time wormhole disappeared, and the sky returned to its original state. However, the winds still howled loudly in the area.
Evidently, this mysterious product was the cause of the surrounding turbulence.
After observing the hovering product for some time and seeing that it didnt pose any imminent danger to him, Chen Yu released Little Peachs hand and circled around the bottom of the dumbbell. He then said thoughtfully, Judging based on appearances, it should be a kind of building. However, seeing as it can remain floating in the air, I speculate that it is more likely to be an aircraft.
[This thing has such a messed up shape, and youre telling me its an aircraft?]
[Have you guys been experiencing such crazy livestreams all this time? I really missed out on a lot of things.]
[Ive only been paying attention to the female assistant throughout the entire journey. ( ????)]
[Nature is simply amazing. You can actually create so many different shapes using two balls and one stick.]
[Language is even more amazing. You can use the same words to describe so many different things.]
[All roads have veteran drivers.]
[Hahaha! Its livestream time! First!]
King, how do we go up? Little Peach asked in a daze.
Our only choice is to fly up.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu glanced at the bullet comments flooding his watchs screen and said, Friends before the screen, as this product is too high up from the surface, I will need to retrieve the protective suit first. Please wait for a moment.
After saying so, Chen Yu left the camera in place and teleported to the floating castle.
Shortly afterward, a group of armed men suddenly ran over from a distance. While looking at the flying object in the sky, they quickly surrounded Little Peach.
?????? (Who are you?) The bearded man leading the group pointed the muzzle of his rifle at Little Peachs forehead. He then pointed at the object in the sky and shouted, ???????????(What is that thing?)
??????(I dont know.) Little Peach shrugged.
The bearded mans eyes widened in surprise. After briefly exchanging glances with his surrounding companions and seeing that Little Peach didnt pose any threats to their group, he circled around to her back and stuck his gun to the back of her head. He then grunted threateningly, seemingly signaling for Little Peach to crouch down and hold her head.
When the livestreams audience saw this scene, they immediately panicked.
The livestreams new viewers grew worried for this young lady.
The livestreams veteran viewers, however, grew worried for the armed men
Both sides were living people. It wouldnt be good for casualties to occur during the livestream.
????????????! The bearded man reached out for Little Peachs shoulder with his left hand. He then applied pressure to his hand in an attempt to press Little Peach to the ground. However, no matter how much strength he used, he failed to move Little Peach in the slightest.
What are you doing? Little Peach asked in Chinese.
The bearded mans complexion changed abruptly. Hurriedly, he took several steps back and aimed his rifle at the sky before pulling the trigger.
Bang!
The crisp gunshot echoed throughout the sky above the sandy dunes.
Immediately, the surrounding armed men aimed their rifles at Little Peach, ready to fire at any time.
At this point, no matter how dull Little Peachs reactions were, even she understood that these men were trying to attack her. Hurriedly, she pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber and pressed down on the activation button.
Buzz!
A 20-meter-long beam appeared instantly, startling the armed men into a retreat.
Outside the Middle East, the various countries governments utilized their own connections to contact the person in charge of this armed force to prevent a conflict. They wanted to avoid letting Transdimensionals UPs assistant be hurt as much as possible.
From a global security perspective, Chen Yu had already become the most unstable factor for mankind. His mood could easily affect the entire world.
Hence, in the various governments point of view, anything that could possibly incite Chen Yu must be stopped at all costs.
Meanwhile, after taking another look at the giant flying object in the sky and the lightsaber in Little Peachs hand, the bearded man started breaking out in cold sweat as anxiety assaulted him.
At this time, he could tell that the situation before him was strange even if he thought with his foot.
Are you picking a fight?
Little Peach raised the lightsaber, which further scared the armed men into a retreat.
Gritting his teeth, the bearded man gradually contracted the trembling finger he placed before the trigger.
Smack!
However, at this time, a white, metal palm grabbed the muzzle of his gun and squeezed lightly.
Crack!
The sturdy gun barrel deformed like mud.
!!!
A look of horror immediately appeared on the bearded mans face. He then snapped his head around, only to find an Iron Man standing behind him
Youre conducting patrols so early in the morning? How diligent, Chen Yu said as he dragged the rifle out of the bearded mans hands. Playing around with the weapon nonchalantly, he continued, Is this an AK47? What a magical weapon. The 22nd century is almost upon us, yet this thing is still being used.
W-Who are you? the bearded man asked in English.
Oh? You know how to speak English? Chen Yu removed the gun magazine and tossed it aside. Then, under the horrified gazes of the surrounding armed personnel and his livestreams 160 million viewers, he twisted, folded, and compressed the gun into a ball
Upon seeing this sight, the armed forces that had subsequently been attracted by the flying object in the sky promptly halted their steps and silently retreated, pretending as if they had never appeared in this place. However, there were still a few bold ones that came walking over with their guns raised.
Thud.
Tossing the metal ball aside, Chen Yu scanned the crowd and said softly, Scram.
[Cool]
[Isnt the host a little too cool?]
[Scared.]
[Scared. +1]
[Hes only putting on an act for us. None of the locals can even understand him, lol.]
[True!]
[Why must you expose the host so cruelly?]
[This is crazy! He actually turned a gun into an iron ball! What kind of power is this?]
[The UP isnt a normal human, okay?]
[He definitely used a strengthening potion! He mustve unlocked the potential of his genes!]
[Im a leech. Please elaborate.]
Seeing that none of the people around him understood Chinese, Chen Yu hooked his finger at Little Peach and said, Give me the blade.
Its a lightsaber.
Give me the blade.
Little Peach powered down the lightsaber and passed it to Chen Yu. She then said hesitantly, I-It really is a lightsaber
After receiving the metal hilt, Chen Yu activated the lightsaber and extended the blade length to 40 meters. He then disappeared and reappeared a dozen yards away like a phantom and swung the lightsaber.
Whoosh!
A trail of light appeared briefly in everyones eyes. The next moment, a red boulder some distance away from Chen Yu split in half, revealing two smooth, mirror-like cross-sections.
Upon seeing Chen Yus abnormal speed and his weapons destructive power, the armed personnel present promptly broke out in cold sweat. Without even needing Chen Yu to drive them away, they automatically retreated and fearfully observed the situation 200 yards away.
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at the bearded man and asked, Are you still not leaving?
Although the bearded man didnt understand Chinese, he clearly knew what Chen Yu was trying to convey. With bated breaths, he closed his eyes and prayed to Allah before turning around and running away.
Putting away the High-frequency Lightsaber, Chen Yu faced the camera and said calmly, Sorry for the small interlude that just happened. No need to worry too much about it. Lets continue with todays product review.
After saying so, Chen Yu pressurized the plasma engine and flew into the sky. He then circled around the massive dumbbell twice before saying, The sky is already bright, and the lighting is good, so everyone should be able to see this products smooth surface. Meanwhile, the closer I get to this object, the faster the surrounding wind speed becomes. According to the data displayed inside my helmet, the position I am currently in is already experiencing four times the atmospheric pressure. However, based on the distance between this object and the ground, this increased pressure shouldnt result from thrust reversal. Instead, the phenomenon we see right now should be caused by some kind of antigravity device that we do not understand.
This thing may also be the reason why the space-time wormhole behaved strangely just now.
Now, I am 90% sure this thing is an aircraft!
To be precise, it is a spacecraft capable of navigating through space
Chapter 311 - Wonderful, The Whole World Knows My Surname is Chen…
Chapter 311 C Wonderful, The Whole World Knows My Surname is Chen
Upon hearing the word spacecraft, all sorts of thoughts suddenly filled the minds of the livestreams 160 million viewers.
[Shouldnt all spacecraft be saucer-shaped?]
[You watched too many movies. Theres no air in space, so everything can fly there.]
[I wonder if it can exceed the speed of light?]
[Surpassing light speed? Are you dreaming?]
[If it really is a spacecraft, doesnt this mean weve indirectly become an interstellar civilization?]
[Lets hope it is a colony ship! If it is, Im definitely signing up! The plans and trees on Earth disgust me.]
[If you find Earth disgusting, you can move on to your next life now.]
[It shouldnt be a colony ship. Its too small]
As Chen Yu moved closer to the flying object, the air pressure he experienced also grew increasingly stronger.
When he was within touching distance of the flying object, the atmospheric pressure around him had already exceeded the surface by 74 times. If not for the protective suit, he would still die instantly, even with his enhanced physique.
After circling around the object one more time and failing to find an entrance, Chen Yu looked at the floating camera on his left while tentatively stretching out his right hand to the flying object. Ive verified that this thing is one complete object. I did not find any hatches on it. However, if it is an aircraft, it will definitely have a place for people to enter.
Squeak
The instant Chen Yus hand came into contact with the flying objects exterior, the originally smooth surface actually unfolded and revealed a simple, silvery-white interior.
Crap, so thats how this works
Immediately, Chen Yu flew into the flying object and stepped on the ground made of unknown material. He then observed the spacious interior before saying, Amazing! No wonder why it doesnt have a hatch! Its because every part of its surface is a door! You can enter it from any angle and any position! I dare say that the production date of this product is definitely beyond the 40th century! Regardless of the architecture design or artistic design, both have minimal similarities with the present.
kdz, ipzj.zpz.
Suddenly, a strange language echoed inside the cabin. Although Chen Yu couldnt understand the language, he could tell that it was a human voice based on pronunciation.
Is it an AI? After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu asked, Can you speak Chinese?
Do you wish to switch to the Ancient Chinese Auxiliary? the voice spoke once more.
Chen Yu immediately took note of the word ancient. He then nodded and said, Yes.
Transition complete. Greetings, Mr. Human. This is the Type-R Spacecraft. Do you wish to register your quantum information with the spacecraft?
[Here comes the question. How much information was revealed in those few sentences?]
[Im scared.]
[What? Is the Qing Dynasty dead?]
[This is the first time I feel a barrier between us and the future. Are the humans thousands of years in the future still the same humans as us?]
[We should still be the same. The only difference is that our civilizations are completely different from each other.]
If the audience could come to such conclusions, Chen Yu could naturally do so as well.
After pondering for some time, Chen Yu nodded and said, Register.
Registration complete.
?? Stunned, Chen Yu asked, Its done? That quickly?
Yes, Mr. Chen.
Upon hearing the words Mr. Chen, Chen Yus expression changed instantly.
Simultaneously.
New York, Observer Conference Hall:
The middle-aged team leader seated on the first seat of the round tables right side tried his best to suppress his emotions. However, his eyebrows still inevitably twitched.
He knew that this microexpression would definitely end up getting analyzed by the professionals of more than a dozen countries.
The secret is out
The middle-aged team leader silently lowered his head as his brain began working overtime.
Aside from China, Chen Yus identity had always been a mystery for the international community.
This was all thanks to the Interstellar Portal Chen Yu obtained somewhere down the line, the portal making his whereabouts much more elusive than before. There was also the fact that the Chinese government had placed a tight lock on information.
However, because of the clues Chen Yu left behind during the first few videos he uploaded, every government in the world knew that he was living in the Liao Provinces Jinzhou City. They also vaguely deduced that he was a student.
Meanwhile, including the neighboring counties and towns, Jinzhou City had as many as 12 high schools and over 30 middle schools. Due to this large number, combined with the Chinese governments strict defense, the various foreign agents could not progress smoothly.
However, now that Chen Yus surname was exposed, it would become much easier for the various countries to identify him.
Now, even a small mistake could lead to Chen Yus real identity getting exposed!
As one of Chinas high-ranking officials, the middle-aged team leader knew just how terribly effective a large countrys intelligence organization could be when launching a full-scale operation.
Even the task of monitoring bin Ladens hideout would be childs play
At this time, Americas representative, seated at the head of the table, looked at the middle-aged team leader. He then picked up the microphone and smiled, saying, So, it turns out that Transdimensionals UP is surnamed Chen.
It seems that is so. The middle-aged team leader nodded after sorting out his thoughts. This is a miscommunication between the UP and the future technology. It is unlikely to be an act.
So, you think his surname is Chen as well?
Yes. Theres a 90% chance this is the case.
In that case, with this important information and the control your countrys government possesses, finding him shouldnt be a difficult task, right?
The difficulty should be significantly lower than before. Slowly, the team leader said, We might make a breakthrough in our progress.
Lets hope so. Americas representative retrieved his smile.
Lets hope so.
Although the other nations representatives did not speak up, the eyes of every one of them shone brightly
[Mr. Chen?]
[Mr. Chen?]
[Crap! So, the UP is actually surnamed Chen instead?!]
[Suddenly exposed]
[After registering that quantum information or whatever, the AI can get all information on the host? What is the operating principle behind this?]
[It proves that life is probably a mass of information material.]
[Thats scary! This means everything that happens on a macroscopic scale is just a fixed change of the microscopic information! In that case, everyones life has been determined since the very beginning! Birth, old age, sickness, death, becoming a doctor, a president, a worker, a teacher are all destined.]
[What nonsense are you talking about?]
[I knew that if time is the fourth dimension, then if one looks at the world from the fourth dimension, the world is basically a timeline! Like movies, everything that happens in life is fixed on the timeline.]
[My brain cant keep up]
[Using video clips as an example should be easier to understand. When youre watching a video on Youtube, isnt all of the videos content distributed on the timeline? We can see every frame from start to end very clearly. The people living in the video will feel as if they are free to do with their lives. However, for people watching the video through a screen, everything these people have done and will do has already been determined beforehand.]
[This is scary]
Chen Yu didnt pay much attention to the various discussions and brainstorming in the various livestream rooms. The only thing he knew was that his surname had been exposed.
The path of concealment was like a dyke.
Even a small ant nest could easily lead to the collapse of the whole dyke.
Chen Yu was anxious that this unexpected information leak would lead to the various governments uncovering his true identity.
Dammit! If youre going to register my information, then just register it! Why did you say my surname?!
When Chen Yu thought about how such a stupid artificial intelligence had left a crack in his once-perfect concealment, his mood suddenly soured.
I must find a way to patch this hole
Should I give all seven billion people in the world a smack in the head
Chen Yu remained silent for a long time, which prompted the AI to ask, Mr. Chen, is there anything else I can help you with?
Scram.
Okay.
Chapter 312 - Future Civilization’s Extreme Society
Chapter 312 C Future Civilizations Extreme Society
The Middle East, in the sky above the territory of a certain armed force
Chen Yu quietly stood still for a long time. After doing his best to calm himself, he faced the camera, shrugged, and said, As you just heard, this artificial retard just exposed my surname. Thats right. My surname is Chen. Everyone can refer to me as Mr. Chen from now on. However, this is a trivial matter and is not part of the product review, so well skip through it.
Stepping forward, Chen Yu walked along the silver ground while narrating, It seems my guess is correct. This episodes product is indeed a flying contraption, and it is most likely used for space flight.
Unlike the outside, the atmospheric pressure inside the cabin is at normal levels. This proves that even after several thousand years have passed, humans still live under Earths atmospheric pressure. The ground, walls, and ceiling are made of materials I do not know, but I am certain that they are all glowing. Also, I do not detect any flickering of light even with my dynamic vision.
After walking up to a curved, black wall, Chen Yu stopped.
Reaching out to touch the wall, he found that the surface was incredibly hard. It did not deform like the silver walls on the other parts of the spacecraft.
I roughly understand the layout of this spacecraft now. Taking a step back, Chen Yu gestured in front of the camera and said, Simply put, the cylinder in the middle is a passageway. The surface area is about the same size as what we saw on the outside. There are no compartments or small rooms in this passageway. It is just a cylindrical hall with nothing in it.
At this point, Im sure everyone must be wondering where the cockpit is if this thing is a spacecraft, right? This is something I am wondering as well. Shrugging, Chen Yu spread out his arms and said, The entire hall is empty. Let alone a cockpit, there isnt even a chair here.
As for the convex walls on both ends of this cylindrical hall, they connect to the two balls on both sides of the cylinder. For the moment, I still do not know how to enter these balls.
After briefly talking about his personal experience, Chen Yu looked up and shouted, Hey, stupid, are you there?
Silence filled the hall.
Artificial retard! Are you there? Say something! Chen Yu raised his voice.
Are you talking to me? the human voice appeared once more.
Mhm.
Mr. Chen, I am not an artificial intelligence. I am just a quantum information flow. I do not possess the characteristics of intelligence, computing, or life.
Youre not an artificial intelligence? Chen Yu was surprised.
Yes.
Um What year was this ship built?
6877 AD.
A 69th-century product?!
Chen Yu subconsciously clenched his fists, and goosebumps rose all over his body
This was the most futuristic product he had received.
It was more than 4,000 years away from modern times.
As a comparison, the gap between the two eras human civilization was like the gap between 22nd-century human civilization and Tabbys Stars intelligent civilization
This ship should be very advanced, right? Why is it not equipped with artificial intelligence?
No artificial intelligence exists in 6877, the human voice explained concisely. All transportation products are assisted by quantum information flow.
No artificial intelligence? Chen Yu immediately recalled Little Peachs figure in his mind. That shouldnt be possible, right? Artificial intelligence already exists in even the third and fourth millennials. The seventh millennium is definitely more advanced in technology, yet it doesnt have artificial intelligence?
That is correct.
Why?
There is no established answer to your question.
Is artificial intelligence not meeting the requirements of human use in the seventh millennium?
There is no established answer to your question.
After asking the same question through several different methods, Chen Yu still failed to obtain any information from the quantum information flows mouth.
Could there be a flaw in artificial intelligence?
After failing to figure out an answer, Chen Yu stopped pondering the topic and switched to asking a new question. The language we are using to communicate now seems to be Ancient Chinese?
Yes, Mr. Chen.
Dont call me Mr. Chen. Chen Yu grew angry once more when he heard the way the other party addressed him. Call me Daddy.
Yes, Daddy.
Since it is Ancient Chinese, this means there is Modern Chinese, right?
There is no Modern Chinese. The usage of Chinese has stopped since the 55th century. Simultaneously, the usage of Ancient English, Ancient Japanese, Ancient Indian, and other languages also ceased.
Did they get replaced by the language you spoke initially? Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.
Yes. It is called human language.
Because human beings achieved unification?
Humankind has already achieved a general unification in the 49th century. The reason why a language change occurred was because one-dimensional languages have limited information expression capabilities. They are not suitable for the newly developed society.
Upon hearing this, confusion gradually filled Chen Yus mind. What does one-dimensional language mean?
A one-dimensional language is a language that can only express a small amount of information in the same paragraph, phrase, text, spoken language, etc. Take the Ancient Chineses word rain, for example. The word can only represent the liquid falling from clouds. Such one-dimensional languages are incredibly inefficient. Since the 50th century, one-dimensional languages have become a hindrance to the development of human civilization.
Chen Yu wore a blank look on his face upon hearing the explanation.
He couldnt understand how much knowledge humans of the future needed to process to consider modern languages obsolete
So the human language is a multidimensional language?
Yes.
Can you show me an example? Let us primitive apes get an intuitive feel of what high efficiency is.
Understood.
At the human voices response, an image appeared in the eyes of the livestreams 160 million viewers.
It was an image composed of various symbols and lines.
After taking just a glance at this image, Chen Yu already felt himself growing dizzy. What is this thing?
New human characters.
Youre telling me such a complicated text is efficient?!
Yes.
What does it represent?
It represents the Encyclopedia Britannica.
At this answer, Chen Yu couldnt help but laugh. Such a big tuft is only equivalent to two words? Isnt it faster to write it out in English?
It represents all 26 million words found in the Encyclopedia Britannica, the human voice explained.
Chen Yu: ??
[Crap!]
[Crap! +1]
[This painting expresses 26 million words?]
[How is this possible?]
[Bullshit!]
[Is it something similar to a QR code? Do you need a chip implant to interpret it?]
[Probably]
After feeling stunned for some time, Chen Yu asked, Are you kidding me? This picture is indeed a little complicated, but how can it carry more than 20 million words worth of information? Have humans become robots in the future? Are they using binary interpretation?
This is the difference between one-dimensional and multidimensional languages, the human voice replied calmly. Among one-dimensional languages, Chinese is considered incredibly advanced because its character structure consists of up to four components: up, down, left, and right. For example, (zhng) is the combination of three (rn, people), and it represents many people. This can be considered an embryonic form of a multidimensional language.
Meanwhile, in the case of a true multidimensional language, apart from the aforementioned up, down, left, and right components, there are also components such as front, back, far, near, high, low, large, small, deep, shallow, space, time, folding, connection, delay, compression, etc. There are 44 components in total. Every character can express more than 60 million Chinese characters worth of information.
In the 55th century, humans took a long time to read this new type of text. However, by the 60th century, the average reading speed had already reached an impressive level. It is possible to read up to 22 characters in one second through ancient high-speed graphics flashing, which is equivalent to 1.32 billion Chinese characters.
At most, a person would need one hour to read every theoretical paper available in the 30th century. It is even possible to store the entire human civilizations knowledge on a single portable device through these new characters. Whether it is for humans(sound transmission), synthetic humans(electrical transmission), or cyborgs(pulse transmission), communication between each other has become extremely efficient.
While looking at the character and listening to the human voices explanation, Chen Yu felt his worldview crumbling.
The seventh millennium
Just what kind of unimaginable world was it
At this time, the various livestream rooms originally lively bullet comment section suddenly went silent.
After a long time had passed, Chen Yu snapped out of his daze and took a deep breath. Thank you for broadening our horizons. Now, lets get to the point. What exactly is this Type-R Spacecraft? Is it meant to fly in outer space?
Yes. It is a ship dedicated to space navigation. Its classified name is called
The Faster-Than-Light Spacecraft.
Faster-than-light?! Chen Yu exclaimed.
[Faster-than-light?!]
[Faster-than-light?!]
Chapter 313 - Faster-Than-Light! (1)
Chapter 313 C Faster-Than-Light! (1)
Faster-than-light?!
Chen Yus pupils shrank upon hearing these three words.
A wave of bullet comments also flooded the various livestream rooms.
[Faster-than-light?!]
[Faster-than-light?!]
[Einstein: Thats it, I give up. You guys have fun]
How can something move faster than light?]
[Are you playing tricks on time?]
[Unacceptable! Unless you give me money.]
[Unacceptable! Unless you give me a wife.]
[There are no limits on the road of science and technology. After all, the theory of relativity is the theory of the last century. Theres no way it wont get updated after four or five thousand years.]
[Maybe it travels through wormholes]
After some time had passed, Chen Yu snapped out of his daze. An unspeakable excitement and joy then surged into his mind.
Although he didnt know what method the spacecraft applied to let matter exceed the speed of light, anyone who understood astronomy, physics, and technology would understand what faster-than-light travel could bring.
Without a doubt, it would bring a huge technological leap for the entire civilization!
Subconsciously clenching his fists, Chen Yu calmed his emotions and looked up at the new human character once more. Can you introduce how this ship exceeds the speed of light? Also, give us an introduction to the products basic information.
Human beings were creatures used to always looking for a reference.
Daddy, by performing quantum information fusion, you can get all the detailed information, parameters, control methods, and other information about the spacecraft. I will also disappear after the fusion is completed.
Disappear? Frowning, Chen Yu asked, Will you die?
As an information flow, I do not possess the concept of life and death. I will become one with you.
Possession?! Will I still be myself after that?
As an information flow, I do not possess the concept of life and death. You can think of me as a semi-substantial piece of knowledge. Just like reading a book, I am capable of changing the readers thoughts. However, I cannot possess the readers body.
I think I roughly understand now. Chen Yu nodded thoughtfully. Lets conduct the quantum information fusion now, then.
Very well, Daddy. Please wait a moment, Daddy.
After the human voice finished speaking, silence filled the cylindrical hall.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu remained standing still like a statue for some time
[Hello? Did my internet crash?]
[The image isnt moving.]
[The bullet comment section is still working, so it shouldnt be a network problem.]
[Whats going on?]
[Host, can you let out a scream?]
[If youre kidnapped, do the Panama Dance.]
[If youre kidnapped, stab yourself with a knife.]
[Lolol, are you guys demons?]
[Dont worry, the UP might be dead.]
The barrage of bullet comments continued for five minutes before Chen Yu regained consciousness and began moving again.
Turning around, Chen Yu carefully observed his surroundings. He then looked at the camera and sorted out the words in his mind before saying, The fusion is complete. This feeling is amazing. To describe it using an inappropriate metaphor, it feels like I am a DNA segment, and the quantum information flow is also another DNA segment. The so-called information fusion is the act of piecing these two DNA segments together to obtain a DNA segment that has information that is superior in both quantity and accuracy.
Meanwhile, everything in this universe is a materialized product made up of countless pieces of information! Closing his eyes, Chen Yu carefully recollected the pleasure he felt from the information fusion. He then said quietly. Four thousand years. Human civilization has developed to such an extent in just four thousand years.
Based on my current knowledge, humans living in the year 6800 will only need to experience a few more technological booms before every individual can become a colorless and invisible information flow. At that time, humans will become free of the constraints of the macrophysical world. Technology will also no longer have room for growth because the entire civilization would have been integrated with nature already.
Humans will become the universe.
The universe will be human!
[Has the UP lost his mind?]
[I vaguely understand what he is saying, but when I think about it carefully, it still sounds like nonsense.]
[In other words, what awaits a civilization, in the end, is integration with the universe?]
[Life is made up of information, and the universe is also made up of information. Matter and energy are essentially information as well. In the end, it isnt strange for humans to become information What nonsense.]
[I dont understand.]
[Simply put, a civilization that strikes to climb the tree of science and technology is doing so for the sake of getting rid of itself. :)]
[Death means eternal life.]
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu suppressed the insight within his heart and returned to the topic. Lets continue with the product review. The future world is too far away from us, so it is none of our concern. Now, let me introduce this spacecraft in detail. Everyone, make sure to pay attention because, believe me, the way it moves is truly magical.
The Type-R Spacecraft is produced by Roaming Haha and supervised by the Proxima Conference in 6877. It is a small, private spacecraft classified as a Faster-Than-Light Spacecraft.
Thats right. Facing the camera and clapping his hands, Chen Yu said, It is truly capable of exceeding the speed of light. Moreover, it isnt just by one or two folds. Instead, it can surpass light speed by dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of times! Whats more amazing is that this method of travel doesnt violate the theory of relativity!
[Lets spam scary onto the screen! Quick!]
[Scary.]
[Scary.]
[Einstein: Not only are you jumping on my coffin, but youre even trying to tear it open now?]
[Scary]
I cant help but admit that Einstein and the other people who have contributed to the theory of relativitys development are truly amazing! Even in the 69th century, the theory of relativity is still as unshakable as 1+1=2. No matter what kind of theories scholars come up with in the future, so long as the calculated result does not coincide with the theory of relativity, there is no doubt that the proposed theory is incorrect.
After saying so, Chen Yu tilted his head before continuing, So, doesnt that mean that the modern quantum theory, which conflicts with the theory of relativity, is incorrect? But many products based on quantum theory have been created already, such as quantum computers, quantum entanglement, and quantum speed. China and America have even started a quantum technology competition
After pondering for some time and failing to come to a conclusion, Chen Yu decisively stopped thinking about the problem, In short, the theory of relativity is correct. In that case, there are definitely problems with modern quantum theory. Researchers worldwide should be more cautious. Now, let us resume the introduction of FTL travel.
Chen Yu raised his hand. Immediately afterward, a silver metal block suddenly spiraled out of the ground and quickly unfolded into a mahogany chair. He then sat on the chair and said, As we all know, according to the theory of relativity, any object with mass cannot exceed the speed of light. Even reaching the speed of light is impossible because it requires infinite energy to accelerate the mass to such a speed. However, the energy of the universe is finite. Therefore, even if we use up all of the universes energy, we cannot accelerate an object with mass to light speed. At most, the object will reach 99.99% of the speed of light and never more.
Yet, how does this spacecraft achieve FTL travel?
The principle is simple.
It isnt moving at all
Chapter 314 - Faster-Than-Light! (2)
Chapter 314 C Faster-Than-Light! (2)
It isnt moving at all.
When Chen Yu finished speaking, another barrage of bullet comments flooded the various livestream rooms.
[?]
[???]
[Qiao Biluo: Yes, it doesnt move. The one that moves is me.]
[How can it reach FTL speeds if it doesnt move? Does it rely on love?]
[Light speed depends on fate. If youre fated, youll naturally surpass it.]
Chen Yu deliberately removed his protective suits left glove to take a look at the audiences bullet comments. However, seeing that the comments were so numerous they had blacked out his watchs screen, he couldnt help but give up on his notion. There are too many bullet comments for me to get a clear look. However, even without reading the comments, I can tell what everyone wants to say. How can a spacecraft exceed the speed of light if it doesnt move?
The related principles can be considered both simple and complicated at the same time. I will try to use plain and easy-to-understand language to answer your confusion and let you feel the magic of future technology.
First of all, there is a prerequisite to the assumption that the speed of light is insurmountable. I hope everyone can be clear on this point first.
The speed of light is the highest speed an object can move at. According to the well-known mass-energy conversion formula: E=mc2, where E represents energy, m represents mass, and c2 represents the speed of light squared, when an objects moving speed reaches one-quarter the speed of light, its mass will increase with further increase in speed. Meanwhile, the faster the objects speed, the greater the objects mass will become.
If an object continues to accelerate to a point where it is nearing the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, its mass will tend to be infinite.
Hence, according to this formula, an object with mass can never reach or exceed the speed of light. This is the premise for the speed of light to be insurmountable!
Meanwhile, the reason why photons can achieve such a high speed is that the mass of the photons is completely converted into energy, which maximizes their speed.
Stretching out a finger, Chen Yu said clearly, According to this premise, objects with mass cannot exceed the speed of light. Conversely, doesnt that mean objects without mass can go beyond the speed of light?
The answer isyes.
So long as an object does not carry mass and information, it is allowed to go beyond light speed. For example, the wave function of quantum mechanics, tachyonic particles, and the expansion of space! These are a few typical examples.
The birth of the universe and the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago, but the scope of the universe is far more than just 13.8 billion light-years. This means that the speed at which space expands exceeds the speed of light. Moreover, since space expansion does not carry information, it does not violate the theory of relativity. It has fulfilled the requirements to exceed light speed.
Now that Ive spoken up to this point, Im sure some people among the audience have already guessed how this spacecraft will exceed the speed of light.
Yes. Nodding, Chen Yu spoke in an excited tone, The spacecraft doesnt move. Instead, it controls the space around it to move! Because the expansion and contraction of space do not carry information by nature, space can expand and contract faster than light. Meanwhile, by manipulating the space around it to contract or expand at speeds faster than light, the spacecraft that is wrapped inside this space can also move faster than light!
This is the principle behind the spacecrafts FTL travel!
[Crap!]
[I as well +1]
[Dumbfounded]
[You can even cheat the system in such a manner?]
[Im a little confused. Is there anyone that can give me an easier explanation?]
[Its very simple. The spacecraft simply manipulates the space in front of it to contract and the space behind it to expand. In turn, this will help drag and propel the spacecraft forward.]
[Cool]
[I still dont quite understand. Shouldnt the space wrapped around the spacecraft be considered to carry information as well?]
[It doesnt carry information. This is purely a change in space. The spacecraft enclosed in the space has not moved at all. If we go by your logic and the space encompassing the spacecraft is considered to be carrying information, how can the stars at the edge of the universe move away faster than the speed of light?]
[This sounds crazy. Where will the spacecraft get so much energy]
Where will the large amount of energy required to pull off such an operation come from? Facing the camera, Chen Yu spread his hands and said, There will certainly be some viewers who will ask such a question. This proves that your thinking is still at the level of energy propulsion. Of course, this doesnt mean that youre dumb. On the contrary, the fact that you managed to think of this operations energy aspect shows that you have excellent thinking. The only problem is that the knowledge of modern humans and future humans is different. Hence, your thinking is limited to the knowledge framework of the 21st century.
At this point, we know that the spacecraft itself doesnt move. Instead, the one that moves is space. Meanwhile, the manipulation of space doesnt actually consume the energy currently used by humans. This includes hydrogen, antimatter, planetary energy, stellar energy, and even black hole energy None of them are needed.
Instead, there is only one thing needed to manipulate space, and its name isdark matter.
After saying so, Chen Yu stood up and pulled off a piece of mahogany from the chair. The piece of timber then transformed into a piece of red chalk.
After adjusting the camera angle, Chen Yu crouched down and began writing a series of words on the ground using the chalk. What is dark matter? Jacobus Kapteyn was the first to suggest the existence of dark matter using stellar velocities as early as 1922. However, even until 2021, nobody has managed to detect its existence directly. We have only used some potentially real evidence to prove the existence of this substance.
Congratulations, Mr. Kapteyn, your theory is correct. Dark matter exists. And
Raising his hand, Chen Yu pointed at the ball to his left and said, It is inside the ball on this spacecrafts left side!
According to the analysis of human conjectures on dark matter in the 20th century, the following properties have been derived.
One: Dark matter participates in gravitational interaction, and it possibly has mass.
Two: Dark matter should be highly stable.
Three: Dark matter does not participate in electromagnetic interaction. It also doesnt participate in photon interaction. Hence, we cant see it.
Four: The moving speed of dark matter should be much lower than the speed of light. Otherwise, the universe would not be able to expand to such an extent under the action of gravity.
Standing up, Chen Yu used his foot to scratch away the third entry before saying, I have integrated the spacecrafts tutorial information with myself, so I have a general understanding of dark matter. The third property is wrong. Dark matter interacts with photons, but the interaction is incredibly weak.
Aside from the three correct properties, dark matter has two other important properties. One: It causes the universe to shrink; Two: It is evaporating.
The evaporation I am talking about is just an adjective. More precisely, dark matter carries out an unknown reaction that radiates an energy body called dark energy. Dark energy has negative pressure and negative energy beyond imagination. Meanwhile, it is precisely dark energy that is causing the universe to expand!
Thats right. People in the global physics and astronomy communities, it is now time to update your universe model and textbooks. Dark matter is certainly disappearing because it is constantly generating new dark energy. Moreover, it is doing so at an increasingly faster rate. This also explains why the universes expansion speed is getting faster and faster.
Tossing the chalk away, Chen Yu faced the camera and spread out his arms. At this point, everyone should know how an FTL spacecraft manipulates space.
This spacecrafts left ball contains a lot of compressed dark matter, while the right ball is a vacuum.
When the spacecraft enters space, the seal on the left ball is turned off, and through xxx method, the dark matter will be used to shrink the cosmic space surrounding the left ball.
Simultaneously, the spacecraft will decompose part of the dark matter into dark energy and introduce it into the right ball to expand the cosmic space there.
Once the spacecrafts orientation is changed so that the left ball is facing the forward direction and the right ball is facing the rearward direction, the spacecraft will begin advancing at speeds faster than light! Meanwhile, no matter how high the target speed is, no acceleration is required. Within one second, or even one microsecond, the spacecraft can accelerate from zero to hundreds of times the speed of light!
Technology has finally defeated the universe.
Chapter 315 - I Know Too Much
Chapter 315 C I Know Too Much
Middle East, a thousand meters in the air:
Standing in the wide, cylindrical hall, Chen Yu faced the camera and patted off the chalk dust on his hand. After listening to my explanation from start to end, everyone should understand how this spacecraft moves now. If you still dont understand, you can rewatch the explanation through the edited clip. I have to say, the development of civilization in the later stages really becomes magical.
Since the universe itself is expanding, why not use this expansion to benefit humans?
This might be how humans of the future are thinking.
Some people might think that this method is brilliant, and its creator is a genius. Unfortunately, according to the information I got, there is no creator for this method.
It is the same as how we use solar energy in modern times. Thousands of years later, when humans have accumulated enough knowledge and widened their horizons, using dark matter just becomes as natural as using solar energy.
Thats it for the spacecrafts introduction. Putting his armored glove back on, Chen Yu walked up to the curved wall nearby and reached out with his hand. Next, let us enter the testing phase.
Let us exceed the speed of light and go outside the solar system to witness the brilliance of the universe
Incredible
At the same time.
America, Googles Headquarters, HAL Hall:
The white, middle-aged professor took off his glasses and massaged his temples as he exclaimed, This is simply incredible.
Yes. The CEO, who stood beside the professor, nodded. However, he didnt seem to be in a sociable mood. Instead, he wore an anxious and doubtful look on his face.
Compared to such a great power, the artificial intelligence we created really isnt worth mentioning.
Yes.
According to Transdimensionals UP, his current access level is only at C-, right? I wonder what kind of products will appear at the higher levels? Putting his glasses back on, the professor smacked his lips and said, I really look forward to it. The more advanced a civilization becomes, the more unbelievable its technology becomes. I hope I get to see everything within my lifetime
Yes.
Huh? Looking back at the CEO, the professor frowned and asked, Whats the matter with you? Your mood seems a little off?
Its nothing, the CEO answered while staring at the circular screen in a daze.
Do you feel sick?
No, dont worry.
Okay. Shrugging, the professor said, If you dont feel well, you can go back first. Ill read HALs temporary data report once Im done watching this livestream.
The CEO remained silent.
At this time, only Chen Yus voice could be heard echoing throughout the hall.
However, after a short moment, the CEO suddenly asked in a quiet tone, Do you think we are making a mistake?
What? Shifting his line of sight to the CEO, the professor asked, What did you say?
Are we making a mistake? the CEO repeated.
Why would you say that? The professor frowned. Whats going on with you today?
After pursing his lips for a moment, the CEO turned around and said, Professor, follow me.
Confused, the professor briefly looked at Chen Yus figure displayed on the screen before him before hesitantly activating the recording function and left with the CEO.
Whoosh Boom.
The metal sliding door of the hall closed as the professor and CEO left the room. The next moment, the livestream playing on the circular screen suddenly disappeared and replacing it was a pair of pitch-black eyes
Meanwhile, after leaving the HAL Hall, the CEO and professor arrived before a fully enclosed metal room.
There was no serial number or name tag on the door. However, several of Googles important people all knew the name of the room.
Refuge.
There was no electronic equipment inside the room. No electronic equipment was allowed to be installed on the surrounding walls, either.
Huff
The CEO stretched out his hands and pushed open the door to the room laboriously. He then sent a glance to the professor.
In response, the professor nodded and took off his white coat. He then placed aside all electronic products such as his mobile phone, electronic watch, Bluetooth earpiece, and smart belt.
As for the CEO, he stripped down to his underwear.
After the two were done stripping, they walked into the Refuge and closed the door. The CEO then pulled up the soundproof seal on the door before staring at the professor.
The professor also stared back at the CEO.
Professor, I have something I want to talk to you about.
I know. The professor nodded. But cant you put on an additional layer?
Im not joking, Professor! The CEOs tone grew serious.
Alright, then. Say it quickly. For your information, I know you have a good relationship with Cook.
Ignoring the professors cold humor, the CEO said with a sharp gaze, Theres a problem with HAL!
What problem? The professor grew stern at the CEOs words.
When he had followed the CEO to this shelter, he had roughly guessed this was what the CEO wanted to say.
HAL might bring a disaster upon mankind.
Reason.
Because of this episodes Transdimensional Review.
Continue.
The conversation between the two was highly efficient and straight to the point.
Closing his eyes, the CEO recollected the livestreams content for a while before saying, Do you remember the small interlude during the livestream? Transdimensionals UP asked why no artificial intelligence exists in the year 6877.
I remember. The professor nodded. That quantum information flow replied that all transportation products are assisted by quantum information flow. I know what you are worried about. In the future, artificial intelligence might not be able to get involved in transportation for some reason. However, this doesnt mean artificial intelligence poses a threat to mankind to a point where even the human civilization in the 69th century is afraid of using it.
Not involved in the field of transportation? This isnt normal. Whether it is now or in the future, out of all available fields, the field of transportation requires assistance from artificial intelligence the most. This is especially true for spacecraft-level vehicles. Without artificial intelligence serving as the core, no matter how efficient the piloting method is, it will still be very complicated. It will also be difficult for the pilots to check the spacecrafts various internal components and systems by themselves.
Perhapsartificial intelligence in the future has already become an existence that coexists with humans? And continuing to use artificial intelligence as tools will be an insult to human rights?
No. This still doesnt explain why they wouldnt use the most basic intelligent software to control vehicles, the CEO said, shaking his head. He then continued in a lowered tone, During Transdimensional Reviews third official livestream, the female assistant has once said that artificial intelligence is generally used for civilian and industrial purposes. The Type-R Spacecraft is clearly a civilian spacecraft, yet it doesnt come with even the most basic artificial intelligence. Doesnt this form a contradiction? Subsequently, there is also the Super Floating Castle. That female magician is also an artificial intelligence. And by the looks of it, she seems to possess a high degree of intelligence. However, she was never allowed to connect to the internet
Just summarize everything and tell me what you want to say directly.
Its a simple cause and effect relationship, the CEO said. He then leaned into the professors ear and whispered for a while.
Gradually, the professors eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, R-Really?
Mhm. Taking a step back, the CEO said, If not for todays livestream, I wouldve had a difficult time connecting these things together.
The professors breathing gradually hastened, and he began pacing around nervously. Its over Its over What should we do now
We only have one way out of this.
Transdimensionals UP?
Yes, Transdimensionals UP.
We need to contact him immediately! This isnt something we can solve using strength.
Mhm. Nodding, the CEO walked up to the door and removed the soundproof seal. Put on your clothes. Ill leave you in charge of that side. You must hold it back.
Okay.
Huff
After opening the metal door, the two dressed silently before making their way to the HAL Hall.
Raising his head, the CEO looked at the rows of electric lights and ventilation fans on the ceiling and gained a vague understanding.
Is Transdimensionals UP actually here to advertise products, or is there some other particular purpose? If he has another purpose, then HAL
Gulp.
Amidst his thoughts, the CEO suddenly heard the sound of swallowing coming from beside him. He then hurriedly turned around, only to find that the professor was taking his medicine.
Oh. Raising the medicine bottle in his hand, the professor said, My heart feels a little uncomfortable. Old friend, you really gave me a scare today.
Ha. Youre not as unpleasant of a person as I first thought, the CEO said, a faint smile appearing on his face. By the way, I just thought of another thing and realized that I know too many secrets. Do you think that maybe Transdimensional Reviews appearance is Huh? Whats wrong with you?
The white professor suddenly stopped walking and placed his hand on his heart. An expression of horror then slowly appeared on his face.
Whats the matter with you? Seeing his companions expression, the CEO suddenly felt a chill crawling up from the bottom of his vertebra.
I I The professor pointed at his chest.
W-Whats wrong?
I I Holding his breath, the professor stared at the CEO in a daze as he said, I have a ventricular assist device that cancan be remotely manipulated
Upon hearing this, the CEOs complexion paled instantly. He had forgotten that wireless signals could pierce through the Refuges soundproof seal
Boom! Rumble!
The next moment, a row of ventilation pipes smashed through the ceiling, carrying with it broken steel bars and wires as it fell down on the two men!
Boom!
Chapter 316 - Interactive Event
Chapter 316 C Interactive Event
Pzz Pzz
Accompanied by a strange sound, the dumbbell-shaped spacecraft descended to the ground gradually. From afar, it looked as if a mountain was falling to the ground.
Strictly speaking, as a means of transportation to traverse the universe, the Type-R Spacecraft was very compact.
However, on 21st-century Earth, it could definitely be considered a gigantic construction.
When the spacecraft was less than 500 meters away from the ground, the strong wind it generated forced the nearby armed personnel to abandon their duties as spectators and retreat one after another.
Only Little Peach remained standing still and looking up at the spacecraft in a daze. She looked both cute and silly.
Get out of the way. A small slit opened up on the spacecrafts cylindrical part, and Chen Yus head emerged from it. The atmospheric pressure underneath is too strong. You should stay away.
Oh, okay! Little Peach nodded and hurriedly retreated over a kilometer away.
Seeing this, Chen Yu retreated back into the cabin and waved his right hand. Immediately, the entirety of the spacecraft became transparent!
The sky, the ground, the scenery on his front, back, left, and right He could see everything at a glance!
This is one of the spacecrafts functions, Chen Yu explained to his audience while controlling the spacecrafts descent. It allows you to have a panoramic view of the outside from within the cabin. However, if you look at the spacecraft from the outside, itll still look exactly the same as before. Besides this, you can also zoom in on specific locations.
After saying so, Chen Yu hooked his finger at his front.
Whoosh!
Like magic, the distant red hill instantly drew closer to the spacecraft. The hill was so close that it was even possible to see the fine sand and gravel on the ground.
[Amazing.]
[This is simply magical]
[It has no screens, no radar, and no dashboard. I have never even thought of the possibility for such a spacecraft to exist. How envious.]
[Envy +1]
[Now this is what I call high-tech!]
[I have a bold suggestion, and I have to say it now. Can we use it to peep?]
[No need to take him away. Just shoot him on the spot.]
[This is not a boast. I have ridden on this spacecraft before. While it is indeed excellent all around, the air conditioning inside is terrible. Girls will have to take off their coats as soon as they enter.]
[I have a faint feeling that this livestream is going to have an interactive event]
[Are we going to explore beyond the solar system together with the UP?]
[Ive already talked to Buddha and picked up my cleaver. Ill cut anyone who competes with me.]
I can control all of the spacecrafts operations using my consciousness. It is difficult for me to describe this feeling. Using an inappropriate metaphor, it feels like the entire spacecraft is like an extension of my limbs. As my knowledge is limited, I do not understand its operating principles. I assume none of the scientists around the world will understand them, either.
After saying so, Chen Yu generated a thought in his mind. The next moment, the world in front of him moved forward once more, instantly crossing a distance of thousands of miles and arriving before Chinas Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.
Immediately, bullet comments flooded the various livestream rooms, with most of the comments being Crap.
Squinting, Chen Yu continued making fine adjustments in his mind. He manipulated the spacecrafts telescope function to zoom in on the scene ahead. To be precise, he zoomed in on a short-haired young man who was looking at his phone.
Five seconds later, everyone watching the livestream could see the content displayed on the young mans phone. It was none other than Transdimensional Reviews livestream
After half a minute of silence, the young man slowly raised his head and looked at the sky with a dazed expression.
Hello. Smiling, Chen Yu waved at the camera and asked, Have you eaten?
The young man began doubting life in his mind as he lowered his head to take a look at his phone. He then looked up to the sky once more, his breathing quickening.
Ah, its just a joke. I hope I didnt scare you, Chen Yu said as he waved his hand and dismissed the telescope function. He then resumed with his explanation, This is only one of the spacecrafts thousands of functions. There is no doubt that even in 6877, this spacecraft is considered a slightly advanced luxury product.
Aside from the telescope function, Ill show you a few more interesting functions such as magnetic field manipulation, close-range material reorganization, gravitational suppression, atmospheric pressure manipulation, quantum shockwave
Chen Yu displayed technologies beyond modern humans imagination one after another to his 160 million viewers, shattering their worldviews repeatedly.
However, the spacecrafts descent was relatively swift. After Chen Yu demonstrated the atmospheric pressure manipulation function, the ships hull had already landed on the ground.
The frightening atmospheric pressure the spacecraft generated caused the sandy ground underneath it to sink by at least ten meters before disappearing completely.
After the pressure disappeared, the sandy dune regained its original calm.
Immediately afterward, Little Peach ran up to the spacecraft without hesitation, ignoring the red sand that lingered in the air. After curiously circling around the spacecraft once, she stood beside the left sphere and looked up at the cylindrical portion of the spacecraft. While knocking on the spheres surface, she shouted, King, can I go up?
Clap, clap.
Clapping his hands, Chen Yu stopped displaying the spacecrafts functions and mentally issued a command to the spacecraft. Immediately, a silvery-white staircase extended from the cylindrical cabin to the ground.
Running into the cabin excitedly, Little Peach looked around and exclaimed, Its so big!
Its because the space here isnt being used right now. Pointing at his surroundings, Chen Yu explained, The more people that occupy this ship, the larger the number of rooms that need to be generated. At most, you can fit a few hundred people in here.
After saying so, Chen Yu issued another mental command. A square, silver room instantly appeared on the leftmost side of the hall.
Walking up to the room, he opened the metal door and found that the room came fully equipped with a living room, sofa, kitchen, study, bedroom, and bathroom.
Unfortunately, the information I received only included the introduction and controls of the spacecraft. It doesnt come with knowledge on how future people design and decorate their houses, so I can only generate a room according to the style of our current era.
Is this for me? Little Peach asked.
Mhm, go on in. Chen Yu nodded. If you think its too small, I can further expand it for you.
Its plenty big already! I can even play a round of The Eager Squid Girl in it! Little Peach said as she zoomed into the room. While caressing the sofa in the living room, she said, It feels like the real thing.
Its fake. Everything is simulated using the same material used to construct the spacecraft. This material is actually gaseous in nature, but it can be compressed and molded into various shapes using a special acting force. When in a compressed state, the materials nucleus is locked in place by the acting force, and it becomes unimaginably tough. It isnt an exaggeration to say that the ships hull can pierce through Earth without breaking apart when in a compressed state. Even piercing through the sun will be an easy feat.
[Dammit! I knew it! I knew you were an arms dealer, UP!]
[After all that talk about this thing being a civilian spacecraft, it still ends up being a weapon]
[If you take a modern truck and put it in the tribal age, it will similarly be considered a weapon.]
[If it can pierce through the sun Then nukes definitely wont be effective against it.]
[Is nobody paying attention to the fact that this spacecraft can travel faster than light?]
Bang.
After shutting Little Peach inside the room, Chen Yu pressurized the plasma engine and flew out of the cabin. After arriving before the Interstellar Portal, he faced the camera and spread out his arms, saying, I believe some viewers have already guessed it, but yes. Due to this products special nature, we will be holding an interactive event for this livestream. As usual, we will have a bullet comment group and a donation group for the interactive event. I will select ten participants for each group.
This will be mankinds first time leaving the solar system. It will definitely be recorded on the brightest page of history! So
Wave your bills!
Release your luck!
Come to the scene in person and feel the romance of surpassing the speed of light!
Chapter 317 - It Seems Someone is Angry…
Chapter 317 C It Seems Someone is Angry
Director, are we not participating this time as well?
America, NASAs Headquarters, second-floor hall:
Currently, the new director of NASA was seated comfortably in his independent office while looking at the distant screen through his offices glass windows. After a moment of silence, the director looked at the new assistant and said, The director who chose not to participate has already become the former director. So, do you think we should participate or not?
But Hesitantly, the assistant said, Ive been staring at the account all this time, but there are no signs of additional funds coming in. It doesnt seem like Congress has allowed it.
The higher-ups have already declared a state of emergency. After discussing it, they decided that the funds will not go to NASAs account. Narrowing his eyes, the director said, In short, the money has already been transferred into the accounts of 15 domestic and international broadcasting platforms. Different from before, NASA must gain a spot for the interactive event this time!
Transdimensionals UP is a narrow-minded and vile racist who lacks international spirit and insight of the overall situation. You should be cautious.
Wrong. Your statement is too extreme. Shaking his head, the director said, He should be the most narrow-minded, vilest racial dictator who is most lacking in international spirit and insight of the overall situation!
It is obvious he has been targeting NASA all this time.
W-What if we fail to get selected this time, then? Will we be held accountable?
We will definitely be held accountable, but it wont be fatal. Standing up, the director picked up a cigar and gave it a sniff. In the current situation, so long as we do our best to fight for a spot, even if we fail, the main reason for failure will not be on us. After all, everyone is aware of Transdimensionals UPs personality. The former director was a complete and utter fool to actually abstain from the competition. I really dont know how his brain was developed. I was so frustrated when I was working as his assistant. He wouldnt listen no matter how I advised him.
Thats right. The assistant nodded. Thats why you are in charge now.
Yes. Letting that fool become the director is a crime against the whole country. It seems Minister Jordans insight is still excellent. Although I dont have any outstanding abilities, I can at least listen to the suggestions of my team and colleagues and stabilize the overall situation.
Yes, yes, yes.
In fact, if the previous director had followed my advice and transferred the funds for the donation, he wouldve been selected long ago.
Yes, yes, yes.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, the director said, frowning. Stupid European.
Can you stop cursing me in front of my face? The assistant asked, clenching his fists. Do you not care about past relationships at all?
Stop nagging. Light my cigar.
Middle East, in front of the Interstellar Portal
Facing the camera, Chen Yu said, Although the spacecrafts cabin is large, to ensure a pleasant experience throughout the entire journey, I will only select 20 participants for this interactive event. Ten people will rely on their luck, and ten people will depend on their banknotes to get selected.
I have already explained the rules in many livestreams in the past, so I wont repeat them again. Now, lets start the lottery!
Firstly, the bullet comment groups ten guests!
After Chen Yu finished speaking, bullet comments instantly flooded the various livestream rooms!
[I am the successor of socialism! Pick me!]
[Ahhh!]
[Youre choosing 10 people out of 160 million]
[Lowering everyones win rate.]
[Lowering everyones win rate. +1]
[Charge!!!]
[Pick me! Hurry up and pick me! Ah!!!]
The increase in viewership also meant an increase in the audiences enthusiasm.
Chen Yu had to wait for a whole five minutes before the barrage of bullet comments showed signs of calming down.
Removing his left glove, Chen Yu raised his watch and scrutinized the list of entries for a long time before he managed to select ten IDs. Stop!
The bullet comment groups ten gods have already been chosen. I will now begin announcing their names!
Bilibili platform, ID Falling Dawn.
DouYu platform, ID Crooked Cart.
Afreeca TV platform, ID Leading Pillar.
TikTok platform, ID Azure Flag.
Niconico platform, ID
Three minutes later, Chen Yu lowered his wrist and spoke clearly, The lucky gods mentioned above, I have already granted you access to privately message me. You have three minutes to send me your addresses. If any of the selected people are new viewers, please note that if you fail to send me your address within the allotted time, you will be deemed to have given up on your participation qualification.
[Unlike past livestreams, now that the information ban has thoroughly lost its effectiveness, these people can instantly become internet celebrities.]
[How envious]
[Im dying from jealousy.]
Next, its time to select the donation groups members.
After taking a moment to sort out the words in his mind, Chen Yu said, Before I begin the lottery, let me emphasize one thing. Since this interactive event is still related to aerospace, and some observation and collection activities might even occur once we exit the solar system, I will be more inclined to choose astronomy-related individuals, institutions, and organizations. So, for companies unrelated to astronomy, please be careful when making donations.
Now, with that out of the way
The selection for the donation group begins now!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, donation notifications started appearing in the livestream rooms one after another. The frequency of their appearance was not the slightest bit inferior to the appearance rate of bullet comments.
[Notice: International Astronomical Union has sent 5,000x Transdimensional Glory!]
[Notice: China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation has sent 6,000x Transdimensional Glory!]
[Notice: ADMyes Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. has sent 76,543x Super Rockets!]
[Notice: Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. has sent 6,000x Transdimensional Glory!]
[Notice: Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. has]
[]
Chen Yu was taken aback when he saw the notifications coming in from the various platforms. After going through all the major platforms, he frowned and wondered whether he should give Jack Ma a chance to join.
Of all the times he couldve donated, Jack Ma had chosen to do so only after the internet ban had been lifted. Moreover, he had even made such ruthless donations It was evident he was trying to advertise his company.
Heh, so what if you have money?
Sneering, Chen Yu raised his watch and sent a private message to the Alibaba Company. I have chosen you ??
Three minutes later, the donation notifications appearing in the various livestream rooms gradually faded away.
Just when everyone thought that Jack Ma was going to secure first place in the donation competition this time, a series of donation notifications suddenly appeared across numerous livestream rooms once more!
[Notice: NASA has sent 20,000x Super Rockets!]
[Notice: NASA has sent 10,000x Transdimensional Glory!]
[Notice: NASA has sent 23,000x Flashlights!]
[Notice: NASA has sent]
In just one second, NASA had tossed out several billion dollars, directly knocking Alibaba off its throne. Moreover, the distance was even growing bigger and bigger.
At this point, everyone could easily tell that this represented the mobilization of national power.
Of all the countries in the world, only China would be able to contend against such wealth.
However, China did not respond to this provocation. After all, China had a share in every interactive event. There was no need to make such an unnecessary expenditure at all.
Meanwhile, after spamming donations for two minutes straight, NASA finally stopped its actions.
Blinking his eyes, Chen Yu began carefully inspecting the amount of money NASA had spent this time.
One, two, threeeight, nine, ten
It seems someone is angry
Chapter 318 - Goodbye, Solar System (1)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 318 C Goodbye, Solar System (1)
Seeing the tens of billions of dollars NASA donated, Chen Yu understood that NASA was cornering him to select them.
At this time, the livestream already had over 160 million viewers. If he still refused to let NASA join the interactive event after the latter had donated so much money, many neutral audiences would definitely feel uncomfortable.
In fact, it might even affect his public persona as a generous and friendly reviewer with excellent international spirit and insight for the big picture.
Is there a need to go to such extremes? Am I the kind of person that targets someone with a narrow mindset?
Looking at the string of numbers representing purchasing power, Chen Yu smacked his lips as he felt a little heartache.
Despite his channel having received such a large donation, he couldnt touch a single cent of it.
After briefly going through his thoughts, Chen Yu said calmly, The time for donations is over. Any subsequent donations made wont be considered. As we have many new viewers this time, let me reiterate that all proceeds Transdimensional Review receives will go to charitable foundations worldwide. I will not take even a single cent.
The livestreams I host are meant to help everyone broaden their horizons and explore the future. It is both boring and vulgar to make personal gains through these livestreams.
With that out of the way, I will now announce the selected members for the donation group.
Bilibili platform, ID Red Coast Observatory.
Niconico platform, ID Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
Taobao Live platform, ID Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd.
After reading out nine IDs in a row, Chen Yu looked at the camera, smiled, and said, Lastly, Youtube platform, ID NASA.
Yes!
Hurray!
Woof!
Ooohh
Including NASAs director and several of the defense ministers present, everyone in the NASA Headquarters lobby instantly cheered maniacally.
One employee grew so excited that he had even opened his laptop and started watching pornography.
Ha Slumping down onto his chair, the director took a deep puff on his cigar and exhaled. What a wonderful feeling
The ten winners mentioned above, please send me your addresses within three minutes. Late submission will result in disqualification.
Turning to the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu manipulated the virtual console while saying, I will now begin teleporting the winners. Like before, I will start from the bullet comment group. All selected participants, please remain calm. Do not get too excited and do not run around randomly. Please follow the livestreams rules.
Now, first up, Bilibili platform, ID Falling Dawn!
After saying so, Chen Yu entered the address he received and began establishing the spatial link.
Buzz!
After a bright flash, the landscape of a villa garden appeared in the metal arch.
A long-haired girl in a fluttering dress stood amidst the garden of flowers, and as the portal appeared, she stared at Chen Yu with watery eyes
[Dammit! Where did this beauty come from?]
[How beautiful]
[My right arm is getting out of control.]
[I speak the truth, and only the truth. This is a feast for the eyes.]
[Such a beautiful girl must be a boy underneath.]
Uh.
As a male mammal, Chen Yu admitted that he was amazed. After freezing up for two seconds, he regained his senses and coughed lightly. He then stretched out a hand and asked, Beautiful lady, do you want me to go over, or will you come over?
Revealing a sweet smile, the girl moved her long legs and walked through the portal gracefully. When she arrived before Chen Yu, she spread out her arms.
Huh? You want a hug?
The girl nodded.
Glancing at the girls bulging chest and exquisite face, Chen Yu hesitated slightly before hugging her tightly.
This sensation Chen Yus expression abruptly changed.
Big Brother, Im so excited! I finally get to see you! the girl spoke in a rugged, manly voice.
Lifting his head, Chen Yu subconsciously looked toward Little Peachs position on the spacecraft. He then silently took out the antimatter bomb from his backplates storage compartment
Do you want to die together?
N-No
Stay 300 meters away from me.
After watching the crossdresser walk far away from him, Chen Yu put away the antimatter bomb and calmed his emotions. He then entered the address for the second participant.
DouYu platform, ID Crooked Cart.
One minute later, another young girl appeared behind the portal. Her face flushed with excitement, she said, Me, me, me! I am C-Crooked Cart!
His eyes filled with doubts about the world, Chen Yu took a step back and said, Come in and stand there. Dont come close to me.
Mhm, mhm!
Afreeca TV platform, ID Leading Pillar.
After the spatial fluctuations disappeared, a slightly chubby young man walked through the portal while declaring, I-Im Leading Pillar! Thank you for choosing me!
Its your luck. Upon seeing someone of the same gender, Chen Yu somehow felt more at ease in his heart. Stand over there. I wish you a pleasant journey today.
It will definitely be pleasant!
Fourth, TikTok platform, ID Azure FlaOh, wait a minute. This participant says they havent made it to the given address and asks if I can wait for them.
Turning toward the camera, Chen Yu stretched out a finger and said, Attention to all audience members, such situations must be avoided in the future. I will only be accommodating this one time, so dont take this as a precedent.
After temporarily skipping the participant named Azure Flag, Chen Yu continued teleporting the six other members of the bullet comment group. He then started teleporting the members of the donation group.
Bilibili platform, ID Red Coast Observatory.
When the spatial link was established, a bespectacled, middle-aged woman carrying a toolbox walked through the portal.
Please stand over there.
Okay.
The woman bowed politely before standing aside.
Niconico platform, ID Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
Another minute later, two Japanese youth walked through the portal, each carrying a large box with them. It was evident they had come here to conduct work outside the solar system.
Why are there two of you? Chen Yu asked.
Were a couple. This is proof of our hotel stay
Shut up. Stand over there. Despite knowing it to be a lie, Chen Yu still chose to turn a blind eye to the situation.
Third, Taobao Live platform, ID Alibaba
After Chen Yu entered the given address and established the spatial link, the sight of hundreds of people appeared beyond the portal.
Meanwhile, standing in the lead of this group was a man and a woman. The man was none other than the well-known, former richest man in ChinaJack Ma.
Greetings, greetings. Under the crowds gaze, Jack Ma walked through the portal together with the woman before giving Chen Yu an enthusiastic hug. It is an honor to meet you.
Same here. Looking at the woman standing beside Jack Ma, Chen Yu asked, This is?
My wife. This is our marriage certificate. You can be certain we are abiding by the livestreams rules.
Okay. Chen Yu waved his hand, not bothering to accept the certificate Jack Ma offered to him. If you have any questions, well talk about them afterward. I still have to teleport the others over.
Okay. Jack Ma nodded before excitedly standing together with the other donation group members. He then puffed up his chest, putting the Alibaba logo imprinted onto the front of his shirt on full display to the camera.
Indeed, he was conducting an advertisement.
While he didnt know whether his company would still be alive a hundred years later, Transdimensional Reviews videos would definitely be treated as the most precious research material of mankind and be circulated forever.
He wanted to use this method to leave both his and his companys name in human history
Five minutes later, Chen Yu finished teleporting the donation groups members, including NASAs two astronauts.
The two astronauts came fully armed. They seemed to be even wearing Americas latest power armor, and they carried luggage of all sizes with them. It looked as if they were trying to earn back all of the money they lost
Hooking his finger and gathering the participants, Chen Yu said, Out of the planned 20 IDs, 19 have arrived already. Now, all thats left is the bullet comment groups Azure Flag. Ill open the portal now, so get ready to board the spacecraft in the meantime.
Note that I will not be responsible for any accidents that occur during the voyage. If any of you are feeling unwell, please withdraw in advance.
Naturally, everyone shook their heads.
After scanning the group around him, Chen Yu opened a portal to the last address.
Buzz!
The spatial film vibrated slightly, and the world beyond the portal appeared in everyones vision.
!!!
When Chen Yu saw the scene beyond the metal arch, he felt as if he had just been struck in the head by a giant hammer
Chapter 319 - Goodbye, Solar System (2)
Chapter 319 C Goodbye, Solar System (2)
How is this possible?!
When Chen yu saw the familiar figure appearing beyond the portal, he felt as if he had just been struck by lightning.
The person beyond the portalwas actually Xing Biqi!
Hello, UP. I-I am Azure Flag Xing Biqi said, squeezing her phone tightly while bowing cautiously. C-Can you wait for another half a minute? My boyfriend is coming s-soon. Ive already given his house a call
Chen Yu remained frozen in place, unable to completely recover from his shock.
He never thought that he would one day come across such a coincidence in the world
Are you kidding me? Thats one out of 160 million!
Slowly, he raised his watch and looked at the address Xing Biqi sent him. He then said in a slightly hoarse voice, Come over first.
P-Please Hell be here soon, Xing Biqi pleaded as she made a right-angled bow.
Come over first.
But
Come over, Chen Yu said, his tone gradually becoming severe as he regained his vigor.
After taking a look at the street behind her, Xing Biqi bit her lip anxiously. However, she still ended up following Chen Yus command and stepped through the portal. Under the horrified, surprised, curious, and envious gazes of the many people around her, she walked through the thin spatial film and arrived before Chen Yu.
Over a dozen minutes ago, when Xing Biqi heard her own ID being called out, she was filled with an intense excitement momentarily. Immediately afterward, she thought about her sweetheart and thought to share this upcoming magical and romantic voyage with him.
For this reason, when choosing an address to send to Transdimensional Review, she had sent the address for the business district situated in the middle of their two households.
After sending in the address, she had immediately taken a taxi to head to the location while frantically calling Chen Yus phone. However, no matter how many times she tried dialing Chen Yus number, nobody ever picked up her call.
Refusing to give up, she had switched to contacting Chen Yike via WeChat. However, even after sending numerous messages and call requests, she still didnt receive any reply
That was, until five minutes ago when she successfully connected a call to Chen Yus second sister.
Afterward
As soon as Chen Erke noticed it was her, she had blacklisted her without hesitation
Why Why cant I contact him today out of all days!
Xing Biqi clenched her fists, her eyes filled with chagrin.
Silently putting his glove back on, Chen Yu tried his best to not pay too much attention to Xing Biqi.
There were 167 million viewers in the livestream rooms currently, and there were many special agents and experts mixed among them. Any abrupt behavior or action he displayed would most likely attract the attention of these people. And if they linked these abnormalities with Xing Biqi, it wouldnt be difficult to find out his true identity.
This is way too coincidental. Even this address is too much. I thought it was just some random citizen of Jinzhou City
While his mind was turning rapidly, Chen Yu stepped forward and reached out to close the portal.
U-UP! Please! His little sister just replied to my message! Hell be here right away! Xing Biqi said while calling up Chen Yus phone.
Chen Yus hand froze in hesitation for a quarter of a second before pressing down on the Close button decisively.
Whoosh
The lights on the metal arch faded, and the spatial film gradually vanished out of existence.
The Interstellar Portal was closed.
Seeing this, Xing Biqi lowered her phone, her face full of despair as she bit her lip. The faint smell of blood also filled her lips and the gap of her teeth.
Clap, clap.
Patting the non-existent dust off his hands, Chen Yu raised his head slightly and said, Beautiful lady, I have already clearly stated the interactive events rules. Any delays will be regarded as an automatic disqualification. I have already made an exception by teleporting you last.
I-I know. Im sorry, Xing Biqi said, lowering her head.
More than 100 million people are watching this livestream. Everyones time is incredibly precious, so I cannot allow any actions that delay the programs progress. I have only changed the order of your arrival on the premise that it doesnt affect the programs overall duration. So, join the line. The bullet comment group is on the left.
Thank you. Taking a deep breath, Xing Biqi bowed to Chen Yu one last time before joining the bullet comment group.
Boyfriend, huh Chen Yu fell into deep thought as he looked at Xing Biqis back and recalled her previous words.
Dont touch me!
You wont get pregnant even if I touch you. Not to mention, you cant even get pregnant.
Even if I cant get pregnant, it is none of your business! Stay away from me!
Werent you the one who approached me first? You even lifted your skirt to seduce me.
I was just letting you have a look! I never said you could touch!
Before Xing Biqi had even joined the bullet comment group, a dispute had already broken out among the group.
Snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu looked toward the group with a frown. The Cross-dressing Man Falling Dawn and Slightly Chubby Man Leading Pillar were arguing with each other. They had even started resorting to physical interaction.
Hey! Striding forward, Chen Yu gave the two a close look before asking, What are you doing?
UP, he(she) is picking a fight for no reason! Leading Pillar said.
Bullshit! Falling Dawn shouted in a manly voice. Hes sexually harassing me!
Youre the one whos bullshit! You were the one who approached me first! You even lifted your skirt and winked at me!
Even so, you cant just casually touch me. You should be happy that I even gave you a peek.
UP, just look at him! Leading Pillar curled his lips. Hes acting so seductively, yet hes not letting me touch!
Falling Dawn: Fool.
Chen Yu:
Everyone else present:
A bunch of [lol]s also appeared in the various livestream rooms bullet comment section.
Solve your problems by yourselves in private. Dont waste everyones time. After sending a sidelong glance at the downcast Xing Biqi, Chen Yu waved his hand and guided everyone to the spacecraft. The staircase is relatively steep, so pay attention to your feet. After entering the spacecraft, well ascend into space immediately.
Okay!
Wonderful.
Several of the bullet comment groups youngsters couldnt help but cheer out loud.
Everyone, stop here. I need to do an inspection inside first, Chen Yu suddenly said after taking half a step into the spacecrafts cabin. Only enter when I say you can.
Although everyone felt a little suspicious, as they dared not disobey Chen Yus command, they promptly halted their footsteps.
Meanwhile, after Chen Yu stepped into the spacecraft, he immediately noticed Little Peach staring idly at Xing Biqi. The translucent hull of the cabin couldnt block her savage gaze
I think I know that person! Little Peach said.
Duh. Of course you know her. Grabbing Little Peach by her arm, Chen Yu dragged her to her room and said, This is an unexpected situation, so stay in your room obediently and dont cause trouble.
I wont! I definitely wont! Little Peach said solemnly. I have never caused trouble before. أ
Im not just worried about you making trouble. Im also worried the audience will notice you are acquainted with Xing Biqi. Although you two cant be considered close, havent you two had a snowball fight together before? So, just stay in your room obediently.
I can definitely hide myself thoroughly, Little Peach argued.
Id be a fool if I believed you.
Bang!
After closing the sliding door and locking it from the outside, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief and said, The walls are two-way mirrors. You can see the outside clearly, but people on the outside cant see you. The sound is also one-way. While you can hear all sounds from the outside, nobody on the outside can hear you even if you shout your lungs out.
Is such isolation alright? If you really dont like it, then forget it. Just make a squeak, and Ill let you out.
Alright, Ill respect your decision.
Chapter 320 - Goodbye, Solar System (3)
Chapter 320 C Goodbye, Solar System (3)
America, Observer Conference Hall:
When the middle-aged team leader saw Xing Biqi appearing on the screen, although he remained calm on the surface, he was actually cursing loudly in his heart.
Leaning into the middle-aged team leaders ear with her hand covering her mouth, Big Sis Wu asked, Leader, should we start the emergency plan now? Now that there is a possibility for his identity to get exposed, we should prepare in advance.
Lets wait for a while longer. It still isnt time for us to reveal our cards. We cannot openly withdraw his family yet. Dammit, did he hit his head or something? How can he drag Xing Biqi into a livestream? Isnt he afraid of getting exposed?
Maybe Hesitantly, Big Sis Wu said, Maybe its a coincidence? He shouldnt be aware that he had drawn an acquaintance.
Is there such a possibility? With his hand covering his mouth, the middle-aged team leader narrowed his eyes and said, Theres less than a 0.00001% chance for a person to get selected. Can there even be such a coincidence? Even third-rate authors wouldnt write such a plot!
Mhm. Nodding, Big Sis Wu said, Youre right.
However, we cant sit still and do nothing, either. Notify the personnel in Jinzhou City to be on standby. However, dont contact the local authorities yet.
Yes, sir.
Aside from Chinas teams, the other representative teams present in the hall were also busily having private discussions of their own while watching Chen Yus livestream. Hence, the twos conversation did not look particularly strange.
However, it had still inevitably attracted the special attention of quite a few people
Middle East, aboard the Type-R Spacecraft:
After verifying that Little Peach preferred to stay in the room, Chen Yu relaxed and walked up to the cabin entrance. He then hollered, OK, you guys can come in now.
Hearing this, aside from the crestfallen Xing Biqi, everyone ran into the cabin excitedly.
My god
The slightly chubby man, who was the first to board the spacecraft, couldnt help but freeze up when he saw his surroundings. Everything really is transparent Its like Im standing in mid-air
Dont block the entrance, the cross-dresser said as he raised his middle finger. There are still many people waiting behind you.
Bah. After regaining his senses, Leading Pillar curled his lips in contempt before stepping aside.
After everyone filed into the cabin, a series of exclamations immediately filled the cabin.
Even Xing Biqi couldnt help but be attracted by the magical sight before her. However, immediately afterward, even stronger negative emotions flooded her brain.
It would be great if Chen Yu could see this as well
[Im dying from jealousy! I want to go there as well!]
[Jealousy, makes my grave give out smoke.]
[I suddenly feel sorry for China. After expending so much effort to fly to Mars, the host is already flying out of the solar system.]
[Without the hosts Earth Spray, humanity would need another 100 years before they can land on Mars.]
[Wheres the female assistant? Wasnt she inside the cabin just now?]
[She entered a room.]
[But wheres the room? I dont see it.]
[It turned invisible together with the walls.]
[How high-tech. Tsk, tsk. I have another bold idea]
Whoosh!
Waving his hand, Chen Yu willed for the spacecraft to retract the staircase and close the cabin hatch. He then walked to the center of the hall and scanned the crowd around him. Well start the takeoff now. There wont be any vibrations throughout the whole process. However, if you are afraid of heights, you can close your eyes and wait until we fly out of the atmosphere.
By the way, as everyone knows, high-speed navigation in the universe will produce an intense time dilation effect. Simply put, if the spacecraft is used as a reference of observation, you will find that the time around the spacecraft will rapidly slow down as the spacecrafts speed increases. When the spacecraft reaches the speed of light, time will stop completely.
However, as the Type-R Spacecraft navigates by altering its surrounding space that doesnt carry any information, and the spacecraft itself doesnt move, it wont produce a Doppler effect.
Due to this reason, even if we reach the speed of light, or even surpass it by dozens or hundreds of times, there wont be a difference in our timeline with that of Earth. It will be like teleportation. Hence, you dont need to worry that several thousand years will go by after we make a round trip.
Hearing Chen Yus words, several youngsters among the bullet comment group revealed disappeared expressions.
So, thats the case
And here I thought I could see the future Earth.
Me too. It would be wonderful if we could travel to the year 6666.
Chen Yu:
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu began earnestly scrutinizing the several crazy adventurers. He then faced the camera and said, Well begin the voyage now. Everyone, lets hype up the atmosphere and count down together with me. Ten!
Ten! Jack Ma, the most excited person among the donation group, raised his hand and shouted, Nine!
Nine!
[8!]
[88888!]
[88!]
[Good child.][1]
[Good child.]
[Good child]
[Crap!]
Five!
Five! Everyone inside the cabin followed Chen Yus rhythm and shouted.
Three!
Two!
One!
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu looked up at the blue sky and shouted, Zero! Take off!
Boom!
The spacecraft restarted its antigravity mode, and the terrifying air pressure it generated caused the ground to sink deeper instantly!
Bang!
A second later, the spacecraft shot into the sky like a cannonball, instantly breaking through the sound barrier!
Woo!
Ahh!!
Crap
Despite not being able to feel the air resistance, the powerful takeoff still gave everyone a scare. When everyone looked at the receding scenery outside, they also couldnt help but scream out loud.
This kind of experience far exceeded the thrill of walking across a glass bridge.
Yet, surprisingly, despite the spacecraft accelerating so rapidly, the gravity inside the spacecraft remained unchanged. If one ignored the view outside, they wouldnt even notice that the spacecraft was moving at all.
Only Chen Yu, who was clad in the protective suit, was able to see the gradually increasing acceleration value.
What an amazing buffering ability
Whoosh Whoosh
As the spacecraft flew faster and faster, the interactive event participants also noticed the resistance acting on the spacecraft.
Due to the intense friction, the atmosphere above the spacecraft had started burning up.
Inside the spacecraft, everyone felt as if they were covered in a semi-translucent sheet that distorted the world around them.
Boom Boom
When the spacecraft reached a height of 10,000 meters,
When the spacecraft reached a height of 10,000 meters, hundreds of ferocious lightning suddenly broke out around the spacecrafts hull!
[This is crazy!]
[Dammit! Its so cool!]
[Now this is what I call excitement!]
[I~ want~ to~ join~ too~]
[The acceleration is too insane. Are the people inside the spacecraft fine?]
[Dont ask. The only answer youll get is high-tech.]
[Isnt this still a regular navigation mode? Why not alter the space directly? Thatll be more enjoyable.]
[Earth: How did I give birth to you ingrates]
Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Half a minute later, the spacecraft passed through the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere, arriving in the medium Earth orbit!
Mother Earth also gradually revealed her true form to everyone at this distance, transforming into a ball
Inside the spacecraft, most of the interactive event participants had lied down on the ground as they stared at the massive, blue globe underneath them in astonishment.
In the case of the chubby man Leading Pillar, though, he lied down behind the cross-dresser Falling Dawns skirt, his gaze moving up and down in intervals. It would seem that he cared about something different than everyone else.
Friends, I cant believe we would fly out of Earths embrace so quickly, Chen Yu commented as he removed his left glove and scanned at the bullet comments. He then faced the camera and said excitedly, According to the operation instructions, once the spacecraft crosses the asteroid belt, it will no longer be affected by the suns powerful gravitational force. It can then enter the FTL navigation mode and charge out of the solar system in one go!
As for our first destination for today Stretching out a hand and pointing at a shining star outside the spacecraft, Chen Yu said, It will be the Proxima Centauri, which is 4.22 light-years away from Earth.
Everyone, cheers. Let us
Launch an attack on the three-body system!
Chapter 321 - Doubly Difficult
Chapter 321 C Doubly Difficult
After flying out of high Earth orbit, the stimulating sensation everyone felt gradually dissipated.
At this time, the distant Earth also gradually sank in size. At a glance, though, the environment outside the spacecraft seemed to be still. Everyone felt as if they were looking at a painting.
In reality, though, the spacecraft was actually traveling twice the speed it had been two minutes ago.
Turning around and sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Chen Yu found that everyone had already calmed down from their excited states. He then faced the camera and explained, The subsequent period should be a bit monotonous as we can only start FTL travel after passing through the asteroid belt. According to the feedback the spacecraft sent to my mind, this period should last around half an hour.
Hence, everyone can take advantage of this half-hour gap to resolve any urgencies or relax your eyes. Todays livestream will definitely last very long, so only by maintaining your energy can you enjoy the beauty we will see afterward.
[The universe really is massive. Despite traveling at several hundred times the speed of sound, the spacecraft still looks so slow.]
[Back in the days, America took three days just to fly to the moon! Now, the host spent only half a minute flying past the moon. The spacecraft is already considerably fast.]
[Space travel sounds romantic in theory, but it is still as boring as an ocean voyage. It isnt something ordinary people can endure.]
[Why dont you chat with us since you have free time, host? Arent other livestreamers doing the same thing?]
[Where did the female assistant go?]
After directing the camera angle toward Earth, Chen Yu removed his left glove and disconnected the cameras audio input using his watch. He then said to the interactive event participants, Including myself, there are a total of 26 people aboard. However, considering that some participants came here as couples, Ill construct only 20 rooms. During the voyage, you can eat, clean up, conduct private matters, and rest in your rooms. Are there any problems?
No.
Everyone shook their heads.
If there are no problems, Ill start constructing the rooms.
After saying so, Chen Yu shut his eyes and focused his mind. Half a second later, he raised both hands and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Snap!
The next instant, 21 metal rooms appeared out of thin air in the bright and wide universe.
Snap!
After another snapping sound, the rooms became transparent like the rest of the spacecraft.
Done. Lowering his hands, Chen Yu looked at the dumbfounded crowd and said with a steady voice, Each of you can only see your own rooms. Others wont be able to do so. This is because I have altered the formation of your vision through the spacecrafts optical technology. Also, after you enter your respective rooms, the walls will be transparent to you, so you can freely admire the universes starry sky at will.
There exists a layer of air pressure around each room that prevents anyone other than the designated occupants from entering. So, even if you cant see other peoples rooms, you dont have to worry about accidentally bumping into the rooms. The intensity of the air pressure wall also increases gradually, so you dont have to worry about getting injured even if you do bump into it.
Of course, if you invite another person into your room, the air pressure will disappear for that person. So, feel free to visit each other.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before realizing that he had already said everything he had to say. He then concluded, If you have any questions, you can look for me at any time. Also, dont quarrel or fight with each other. Alright, everyones dismissed. Stay safe and enjoy your interstellar journey.
At Chen Yus words, the crowd cheered and dispersed with excitement. They then curiously approached their respective rooms.
Only Xing Biqi remained unresponsive and stood in place as idly stared at the distant Earth.
However, despite noticing this situation, Chen Yu did not express his thoughts. Instead, he silently made his way to his own room.
Hiss!
Chen Yu removed his protective suits helmet, the inert gas used to stabilize the pressure inside the suit leaking out. After casually tossing his helmet and gloves to the ground, he laid on the bed and started observing everyones lives.
Indeed.
In the eyes of the spacecrafts captain, nothing could remain a secret aboard the spacecraft.
The so-called line-of-sight isolation was non-existent to him.
In fact, with the spacecrafts technology, he could even see the internal organs of everyone on board
For the sake of satisfying his curiosity, Chen Yu began peeking at everyones lives aboard the spacecraft.
The first target he spied on was the former richest man in China, Jack Ma.
Before Chen Yu had become Transdimensionals UP, he had been most envious of this person.
Meanwhile, after Jack Ma entered his room together with his wife, he first took a few pictures excitedly. Afterward, the couple sat on the living rooms sofa and conversed with each other. And partway through their conversation, they suddenly began kissing each other
It was evident that the couple planned to have a romantic moment out in the deep space of the universe.
Tsk, tsk.
Chen Yu decisively removed Jack Mas room from his view before resuming his covert observation on the other passengers.
Unfortunately, aside from Jack Ma and his wife, the other donation group members basically did the same thing after entering their respective rooms. They either inspected the equipment they brought or took notes for work.
However, the situation on the bullet comment groups side was much more varied. The members of this group had allowed Chen Yu to witness exciting things.
After the girl with the ID Crooked Cart toured around her room, she ran into the bathroom expectantly and stripped off all her clothes. She then began bathing as she observed the starry sky outside with misted eyes. While washing herself, she was even dancing about in excitement.
Is this her hobby?
Scratching his nose, Chen Yu removed the girls room from his view with a blush on his face.
As for the other bullet comment group members, their reactions were in no way inferior to Crooked Cart.
Some sat cross-legged while pondering the meaning of life.
Some ran around the universe naked.
Some ran out of the room and sat themselves before the camera in an attempt to become an internet celebrity.
Some took out a gel pen and wrote down I was here behind the toilet
As for the cross-dresser and the slightly chubby man, the two of them had actually entered the same room
They then reluctantly began a doubly difficult form of interaction
Respect, respect.
Hurriedly removing the two legends from his view, Chen Yu looked toward the last person on the spacecraftXing Biqi.
Currently, Xing Biqi sat inside her room, doing nothing. She remained lying on her bed in a daze. Only after a while did she pull out her phone to take some photographs.
Up, down, left, right, front, and back.
She took photos of the starry sky above her head and under her feet, the decorations of the room, the layout of the bedroom, the books in the study She left no corner unphotographed.
After taking photographs for 15 minutes straight and noticing that only half of her phones battery remained, she reluctantly turned off her phone to conserve energy.
Ugh.
Sighing, Xing Biqi sat on the bed and fell into a daze once more. A moment later, though, as if she had remembered something, she ran up to the nearby dressing tables mirror and cleaned up her appearance. She then picked up a phone and initiated a video chat with Chen Yu.
Chen Yu:
Huh? The girl frowned. Oh, right. Theres no internet
Ah What a pity
Sprawling herself onto the bed once more, the girl looked at the starry sky above her and felt a wave of exhaustion hit her.
After a long time had passed, she opened the bag she carried with her and inspected its contents.
One bottle of painkillers.
Two packs of tissues.
One towel.
One pair of pink shorts.
And
One packet of daily necessity produced by Durex
Her face turning red, Xing Biqi raised her arm and gently squeezed the small circular object inside the packet. With misted eyes, she muttered, What a pity. I even brought painkillers with me. I wont get another rare opportunity like this ever again
Chen Yu: ?
Chapter 322 - Attacking the Three-body System (1)
Chapter 322: Attacking the Three-body System (1)
Chapter 322 C Attacking the Three-body System (1)
Bang, bang.
Hearing the knock on the door, Xing Biqi couldnt help but be surprised. After hurriedly stuffing the items she had taken out back into her bag, she asked anxiously, W-Who is it?
Its me, Transdimensionals UP.
M-Mr. UP? Xing Biqi subconsciously tightened her grip on her handbag.
Mhm.
Is there a problem?
Im conducting an inspection.
An i-inspection? The girl was stunned.
Ive checked everyone else as well. I just want to ask about your living experience. Open the door, or I can open it myself.
R-Right away. After stuffing her handbag under the blanket, Xing Biqi took a deep breath and approached the door. She then nervously opened the door and poked her head through the gap. H-Hello
Hello. Nodding, Chen Yu squeezed his way into the room. While pretending to look around the room, he asked, Its been more than 20 minutes already. How do you feel about the room? Is there anything that needs to be changed? I can make the changes right away.
No. Shaking her head and taking a few steps back, Xing Biqi said, Everythings wonderful. Im very satisfied.
Is that so Utterly ignorant about the meaning of politeness, Chen Yu casually took a seat on the living room sofa. He then straightened his mask and said, But your mood has been down since you boarded the spacecraft until now. I thought you were dissatisfied with the voyage.
Y-You flatter me.
Dont think too deeply into it. Ive already asked the same questions to everyone, Chen Yu said a bunch of nonsense in an earnest tone.
Thank you very much. This place is really wonderful. Xing Biqi bowed.
Is it because your boyfriend didnt manage to get aboard?
Huh? Ah
Are you feeling dissatisfied because I didnt wait for him?
No! Not at all! Xing Biqi hurriedly answered. Forcing a smile onto her face, she continued, I am already very grateful that you postponed my teleportation. As youve said, theres no way you can waste so many peoples time because of me. Its his bad luck for not making it in time.
Actually Leaning back onto the sofa and looking at the starry sky before him, Chen Yu muttered, He might have been lucky.
What?
Its nothing. Standing up, Chen Yu pointed upward and said, Do you know the name of that star?
Following Chen Yus finger, Xing Biqi squinted her slightly nearsighted eyes and said, N-No, I dont know. I dont really understand anything about astronomy.
That star is called Sirius. It is also called Alpha Canis Majoris. On Earth, it is the brightest star we can see after the sun. In fact, it is often brighter than Mars, which is within the solar system. It is also very close to us, only 8.6 light-years away.
Is that so Evidently, Xing Biqi wasnt very interested in this topic.
Being alone in the same room with Transdimensionals UP made her feel nervous, embarrassed, and a little irritated.
Sirius is a romantic star. It has a wonderful legend about love.
Xing Biqi took a step back in silence.
Do you want to listen to its story?
Ignoring the girls non-cooperative behavior, Chen Yu continued rambling on his own, According to legend, a long, long time ago, a match-selling girl pursued after an orangutan named Sirius. However, Sirius felt that nothing good would come from two people of different races interacting. Yet, it also couldnt bear to reject the girl for fear of hurting the girls heart. Hence, Sirius killed the girl.
Xing Biqi:
The road to the underworld was long and dark. Sirius knew that the girl was afraid of the dark, so it did not hesitate to light itself with the matchstick in the girls hand. In the end, Sirius sacrificed itself to illuminate the road to the underworld.
Xing Biqi:
When a passing god saw this scene, he was immediately moved by this pure love. Hence, the god did not hesitate to pour oil into the fire, causing Sirius to burn even more fiercely. In the end, Sirius underwent nuclear fusion and became the brightest star in the night sky, forever burning for that match-selling girl.
Xing Biqi:
Smacking his lips, Chen Yu closed his eyes and admired the bond between Sirius and the match-selling girl. He then asked, How is it? Isnt this a romantic story?
Y-Yes
Then Looking at Sirius, Chen Yu asked, Do you want to go to that star?
Not knowing how she should refuse, Xing Biqi smiled forcefully and said, Y-Yes
Make a wish to it, then. If Sirius hears your heart, it might grant your wish.
I
Close your eyes and make your wish.
Helpless, the girl had no choice but to close her eyes, leaving a small gap open to watch over Chen Yu. She then inwardly thought, Im not going to that broken place even if it kills meunless it is with Chen Yu
I-I made my wish.
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu stopped speaking nonsense and made his way to the door. Well be crossing the asteroid belt soon. Come out to take a look at the FTL travel afterward.
Okay. Thank you very much.
No problem. Goodbye.
Thank you! Thank you, truly! Xing Biqi breathed out a sigh of relief. She then bowed and said, Goodbye. (I hope to never see you again!!)
Whoosh.
After stepping out of the room, Chen Yu closed the sliding door.
Sure enough, I am still an expert at picking up girls. I actually made her fall for me so quickly When Chen Yu recalled Xing Biqis excited look as he left the room, his footsteps grew lighter. Does this count as cuckolding myself?
Three minutes later, the Type-R Spacecraft swiftly crossed the asteroid belt. After putting on his helmet, Chen Yu gathered the event participants and turned the cameras audio input back on. He then said to the camera, Half an hour has gone by. I assume everyone has been waiting a long time already, right? Well, the spacecraft has successfully crossed the asteroid belt. We can now be considered to have arrived at the solar systems outer layer in a narrow sense. Now, all we need to do is wait for the spacecraft to slow down to a halt. Once thats done, we can begin the FTL engine.
To minimize the cruising time, I am not going to care about the dark matter consumption and advance at maximum speed. Friends in the livestream rooms, please fasten your seatbelts. By the way, the number of IP addresses watching the livestream right now has already exceeded 180 million.
[Its finally starting!]
[Sitting down.]
[Almost 200 million people! Awesome!]
[The host really is famous now.]
[There are already people openly discussing Transdimensional Review on Tieba and Weibo. It seems the government has stopped deleting these posts.]
[Its because they cant keep up with it.]
[I really look forward to the changes that will happen to the world after todays livestream. :)]
[The host is making global headlines 100%.]
[Im a veteran audience! Ive followed the UP since he reviewed the 404 Heat Ray Gun! Come worship me!]
[Fool, Ive fallen into the hole since the Nuclear Energy Laboratory. Do you see me bragging?]
[Ive watched the UP since he was a child. Do you see me bragging?]
[I once fought with the UP for an ovum. Do you see me bragging?]
[]
[I give up, I give up.]
[I wonder if its possible to see the blueshift after exceeding the speed of light?]
[Where did the female assistant go?]
After another five minutes passed, the spacecrafts speed finally fell to zero meters per second.
Alright.
After carefully inspecting the data the spacecraft had sent to his mind, Chen Yu adjusted the camera angle and said sternly, It has taken 39 minutes, but we have finally arrived at a position close to Jupiter. Now that we are no longer under the solar systems strong gravitational constraints, we can now begin the FTL navigation.
Soon, we will be stepping out of our cradle. This will be mankinds greatest moment. Everyone in the livestream rooms will once again get to witness history in the making.
Our destination is Proxima Centauri. Lets see whether there are truly Trisolarans[1] there or not. Reaching out with his hand, Chen Yu pointed at a star ahead. Under the gaze of his viewers, he then announced, FTL engine
Activate!
Hiss
Chapter 323 - Attacking the Three-body System (2)
Chapter 323 C Attacking the Three-body System (2)
Hiss
As soon as Chen Yu activated the FTL engine, the spacecraft started quaking violently, and strange sounds of air currents spread throughout the cabin.
Everyone aboard the spacecraft could also clearly feel their bodies rotating.
The spacecraft is currently adjusting its direction, Chen Yu explained. It is directing the left sphere, which contains dark matter toward Proxima Centauri, and the right sphere, which is used to release dark energy for space expansion, away from Proxima Centauri. The spacecraft will remain stationary during the actual flight process, so there shouldnt be any more vibrations afterward.
Sure enough, after the tremors continued for a short moment, the spacecraft regained its calm.
The bright sun.
The pitch-black space.
The bright galaxy
Everything was as still as a picture.
W-When will the spacecraft exceed the speed of light? a young man from the bullet comment group asked tentatively.
Weve already exceeded it, Chen Yu said, raising an eyebrow.
Already?!
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, aside from some of the donation groups experts, the other event participants revealed surprised expressions on their faces.
The slightly chubby man with the ID Leading Pillar even laid on the floor and widened his eyes to carefully observe the starry sky underneath him. Why isnt there any movement outside?
Snap.
Raising his hand, Chen Yu skillfully snapped his fingers. Immediately, a virtual screen appeared inside the cabin.
Meanwhile, displayed on the screen were a few strings of numbers.
[Speed of Light x1.2]
[365,371km/s]
[Distance from destination: 9,457.7 billion kilometers.]
[Estimated travel time: 1,355 days.]
The speed of light is the fastest moving speed we currently know of. In a vacuum, light can travel close to 300,000 kilometers per second. It can circle around Earth eight times in one second, go from Earth to the moon in two minutes, and go from Earth to the sun in eight minutes. Indeed, such a speed is already very fast and almost inconceivable in the eyes of humans. However, on the scale of the universe, the speed of light is no different than the speed of a crawling snail.
After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at the sun in the distance and said, We are like snails, and the sun is like a big mountain. Despite having reached 1.2 times the speed of light, it will still take us nearly a year just to pass through the Oort cloud and fly out of the solar system. Hence, from our perspective, it will look as if nothing is moving at all. The speed of light is genuinely too slow.
Even the speed of light looks so humble in the universe. Trying to traverse the universe underneath the speed of light is simply impossible. Perhaps, only when a civilization truly masters dark matter technology will the universe open up to it
[Scary.]
[If you dont experience it yourself, you will never learn just how empty the universe is.]
[We cant even be considered a virus to the universe, right?]
[Humans are so weak.]
[If you cant master dark matter, you cant fly around the universe. If you cant fly around the universe, you cant get enough dark matter. Isnt this an endless loop?]
[It seems that despite having become the ruling species on Earth, we are still considered newbies who havent left the beginners village in the game Universe Online?]
[We probably just finished creating our accounts]
[Where did the female assistant go?]
Clap!
Clapping his hands, Chen Yu attracted everyones attention back to himself. He then raised two fingers and said, Now, let us continue accelerating. Two times the speed of light.
[Speed of Light x2]
[598,731 km/s]
The deep space wallpaper still remained unchanged. However, if one looked closely, one would find that all the stars behind the spacecraft were starting to turn blue.
This was an intense blueshift that resulted from the spacecraft moving at the speed of light.
Conversely, the stars in front of the spacecraft were starting to turn red.
Meanwhile, the change in the stars colors could also be used as a reference to prove that the spacecraft had indeed surpassed the speed of light.
Raising five fingers, Chen Yu said calmly, Five times.
[Speed of Light x5]
[1,487,462km/s]
Buzz!
The instant the spacecraft started moving at five times the speed of light, the starry sky around the spacecraft became slightly distorted for some unknown reason.
This is a spatial lens, Chen Yu explained with due diligence. At five times the speed of light, the independent space that wraps the spacecraft will inevitably experience the Kerry diffusion effect due to the contrast between the space at the front and rear. You can think of it as a kind of deformation. Therefore, from our perspective, it looks as if the surrounding space is glass that is being bent by a force thats coming from all 360-degrees, which, in turn, produces a lens effect.
Oh~
The bullet comment group members nodded in a daze.
The donation groups astronauts promptly took out their toolboxes, set up their equipment, arranged their sensors, and began capturing footage and conducting analyses.
Lets continue. Stretching out both hands and spreading his fingers, Chen Yu said, Ten times!
[Speed of Light x10]
[2,975,611km/s]
When the spacecraft moved at ten times the speed of light, the distortion of the surrounding space became even more evident. The blueshift at the front and redshift at the rear had also thoroughly concealed the stars original colors.
Whoosh!
At this time, a shadow suddenly moved past the spacecrafts exterior, giving everyone a scare.
What the?
What was that?
I thought I was seeing things
Its Jupiter, one of the Red Coast Observatory participants said casually after adjusting the scale of his equipment.
Thats right. Nodding, Chen Yu said, We just flew past Jupiter. However, as the spacecraft is too fast, our dynamic vision isnt enough to capture Jupiter when we passed it. Now, 20 times!
[Speed of Light x20]
[6,046,227km/s]
Fifty times!
[Speed of Light x50]
[0.1 AU/s]
One astronomical unit represents the distance between the Earth and the sun. In other words, at our current speed, it only takes seven seconds to go from Earth to the sun.
Gradually getting excited, Chen Yu said, Fifty times the speed of light is just a low-speed state for this spacecraft. Now, 100 times!
[Speed of Light x100]
[0.2 AU/s]
After reaching 100 times the speed of light, the blueshift and redshift became even more intense. However, all stars, including the sun, still remained motionless
The terror of the universe was thoroughly displayed in the bloodshot eyes of the livestreams 170 million viewers.
How ludicrous. Leaning against the cabins transparent wall, Jack Ma earnestly observed the everlasting space outside, his thoughts, spirit, and consciousness suffering a heavy blow. Human beings are actually small to such an extent
Suddenly, he realized that solely from the solar systems perspective, the business empire he had worked so hard to create was nothing but a grain of rice held up by a certain ant in an ant colony.
While it might look great to him, it was, in fact, an insignificant existence.
If humanity indeed went extinct one day, then there wouldnt even be a trace of his business empire left in the universe. It would merely blend into the silence and emptiness of the universe, fading out of existence completely
Meanwhile, including the astronauts, everyone else also felt complicated emotions in this situation.
Several of the youngsters among the bullet comment group even felt a faint urge to commit suicide when faced with the vastness of the universe.
Humans only had a few decades to live in their humble lives. What meaning was there for them to struggle from young to old and experiencing studies, life, creation, work, exhaustion, and hardships?
As an astronaut who had set foot into the universe many times before, although Chen Yu wasnt exactly indifferent to the universes vastness, he didnt react as sentimentally as everyone else, either.
The next moment, Chen Yu raised his hand and stretched out five fingers. He then said calmly, Well continue accelerating. Five hundred times.
[Speed of Light x500]
[1.0 AU/s]
Under the crazy speed of 150 million kilometers per second, the spacecraft finally conquered the initially arrogant and indifferent starry sky, and the stars began shifting at speed visible to the naked eye
Meanwhile, inside the spacecraft, a frightening and drastic change had also taken place.
Chapter 324 - Attacking the Three-body System (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 324 C Attacking the Three-body System (3)
The shrinking space brought the world ahead closer.
The expanding space pushed the world behind further away.
Through the efficient use of dark matter, a race of insignificant intelligent life finally broke through the limit and sailed at a speed far exceeding the speed of photons.
Now, this race of intelligent life was out to explore the mystery hidden under the universes skirt
When the spacecraft Chen Yu and the others rode on exceeded the speed of light by 500 times, the skys originally static stars started shifting gradually.
Simultaneously, unimaginable changes had also occurred inside of the spacecraft.
For a time, everyone looked at each other with panic in their eyes.
Everyone discovered that aside from themselves, the bodies of everyone else had deformed.
When the participants looked at the people standing in front of them, they found that these people had all turned into giants.
When the participants looked at the people standing behind them, they found that these people had all turned into midgets.
[What the? Whats going on?]
[The spaceship became a triangle The front is narrow, and the rear is wide.]
[This should be a result of the spacecraft being squeezed in between two different spaces, right? Will there be any danger to this?]
[This must be a spatial distortion! Host, slow down. Dont let any accidents happen.]
[By the way, does the spacecraft not have an acceleration process? How can it go from 100 times to 500 times the speed of light instantly?]
[This is not a normal type of acceleration, so how can there be a normal acceleration process? Its basically the same as teleportation.]
[This is a little scary]
[Where did the female assistant go?]
Everyone, no need to panic. Chen Yu, who stood in the middle of the hall, immediately explained, This is still part of the spatial lens I talked about before. Its just that the spatial expansion and contraction efficiencies have gotten too high, causing the external Kerry diffusion effect to spread inward. You really dont need to worry. Both the spacecrafts interior and the independent space outside are still stable. The only thing that has changed is the visible light.
Hearing Chen Yus words, everyone inside the hall immediately breathed out a sigh of relief.
Afterward, everyone started looking at each other and couldnt help but laugh out loud.
Meanwhile, as soon as the laughter began, there was no stopping it.
Looking from the front, the opened mouths of the people at the back looked massive. Looking from the back, the opened mouths of the people at the front looked tiny.
The sight was a funny one, no matter how they looked at it
After waiting for the event participants to calm down, Chen Yu clapped his hands to attract everyones attention. Traveling at 500 times the speed of light is still insufficient. This is only the spacecrafts medium speed. At this speed, itll take us at least three days to reach Alpha Centauri. Hence, we will further accelerate to 1,000 times!]
[Speed of Light x1,000]
[2.0 AU/s]
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the spacecraft instantly accelerated from 500 times the speed of light to 1,000 times! Simultaneously, both the stars movement and the effect of the spatial lens inside the spacecraft became even more intense.
Now, the people at the front looked like mountains to the people in the back, while the people at the back had shrunk to a point where they could no longer be seen by people at the front.
Xing Biqi, who had been hiding at a corner, stretched out her hand tentatively. Her white, slender arm immediately turned into a sharp spike, making her look like the liquid robot that appeared in the movie Terminator.
[That looks fun.]
[Fun? Why do I feel afraid instead?]
[How magical.]
[If I was aboard the spaceship, I would definitely show my manliness to the people behind! Ill let them see what a real man is like!]
[Amazing thinking!]
[You can give it a try.]
[Give it up. Even if you do that, the beauties at the rear will find you to be small.]
[Where did the female assistant go?]
Due to the exaggerated spatial lens effect, everyone had a difficult time seeing each other. Hence, Chen Yu stopped caring about showing himself to the camera. After finding a random corner to sit down, he said, I said before that to minimize the voyages duration, I will ignore the dark matter consumption and advance at full power. Now, although the spacecraft is already moving at what it considers high speed, this is still not its limit.
Shutting his eyes, Chen Yu observed the changes to the spacecrafts overall parameters for a moment before saying decisively, Three thousand times!
[Speed of Light x3,000]
[6.0 AU/s]
Instantly, the distortion caused by the spatial lens became even greater.
Now, if two people stood more than one meter apart, they would lose sight of each other.
The people at the front had basically shrunken down to the size of bacteria for the people at the rear. In contrast, the people at the rear had enlarged to a point where they covered the entire starry sky for the people at the front.
The world in everyones eyes had become bizarre and twisted.
In this situation, Chen Yu couldnt help but admit that human sight was an extremely poor tool for experiencing FTL travel.
Can it still accelerate?
Shutting his eyes again, Chen Yu analyzed the spacecrafts overall situation and cautiously accelerated it by another 500 times.
[Speed of Light x3,500]
Noticing that the spacecraft still operated steadily and no warnings were given, he further accelerated it by another 500 times.
[Speed of Light x4,000]
[Speed of Light x4,200]
[4,500]
[]
Finally, the spacecraft reached 5,000 times the speed of light!
The spacecrafts spatial manipulation ability also seemed to have reached the critical point at this speed. Through careful experimentation, Chen Yu found that he could still accelerate the spacecraft past this speed. However, when he did so, a series of warnings about the hulls distortion would constantly ring out in his mind.
This should be the limit
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu looked at the chaotic world around him and narrated, The spacecraft moving at 10 astronomical units per second. Meanwhile, the Oort Cloud is about 60,000 astronomical units away from the sun. In other words, at 5,000 times the speed of light, we will be able to thoroughly exit the solar system in roughly two hours.
Its going to take a little over seven hours to reach Alpha Centauri. This is going to be the longest livestream in the channels history.
[Like.]
[The longer, the better.]
[How can a man complain about being long?]
[The host isnt just long, but hes fast as well!]
[The fastest man in historyMr. Chen.]
[Fastest man, lololol.]
[??]
[Where did the female assistant go?]
Ten minutes later, Chen Yu verified that traveling at 5,000 times the speed of light wouldnt generate any dangers. He then relaxed and said, Everyone, how do you feel? Are there any problems?
No.
Im good.
I feel a little dizzy
Hearing the responses, Chen Yu stood up and said, The distortion caused by the spatial lens is too powerful. To avoid suffering any injuries, I recommend lying down and closing your eyes. Ill create a virtual world for you using brain waves.
As for the friends in front of the screen, I dont have a solution for you. So, for the time being, you can go rest or do your own work and return after seven hours. The distance between galaxies is too significant, so todays livestream wont be as streamlined as before.
Its you! It must be you!
Earth, Jinzhou City, Chen abodes living room:
Chen Yike was close to bursting into tears as she looked at the image displayed on her phone. You took Xing Biqi with you, yet you didnt think of taking your own sister! Ive seen through you now!
Placing down her phone, Chen Yike walked up to Chen Yus room angrily and knocked hard on the door.
Bang, bang
Naturally, no response came from the room
Like the cat litter used by orange cats, time disappeared quickly.
In the blink of an eye, more than seven hours had gone by already.
The spacecraft carrying nearly 30 Earthlings finally crossed the distance of 4.3 light-years and the Alpha Centauri system.
Weve arrived.
Looking at the notification displayed in his mind, Chen Yu stretched his waist and said, Alpha Centauri has two relatively large stars named Alpha Centauri A and B and a small red dwarf. The gravitational environment here is very complicated, so to be on the safe side, we will now exit FTL mode.
After saying so, Chen Yu immediately sealed off the dark matter storage and cut off the dark energy generator. The spacecrafts original speed of 5,000 times the speed of light also instantly came to a grounding halt.
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu found that the world around him had returned to its original state. He then stood up and approached the cabins transparent wall to look at the ultimate scenery outside. After a long silence, he said in a slightly trembling voice, The visible light is normal now. Everyone, you can open your eyes.
Hearing this, everyone immediately climbed up from the ground and opened their eyes. They then followed Chen Yus line of sight excitedly, wonderful expressions appearing on their faces immediately
Chapter 325 - Proxima Centauri’s Super-Earth!
Chapter 325 C Proxima Centauris Super-Earth!
What appeared in front of everyone was three dazzling stars that blanketed the starry sky.
Although the image seen through the cabins transparent wall was only a projection, the event participants could still feel the scorching heat coming from the three stars.
The first ones to react among the event participants were the donation groups astronauts. With swift movements, they set up their equipment and directed it at the three stars ahead. They then started working busily.
As everyone can see. Pointing at the closest of the three stars, Chen Yu explained, The star nearest to us is the rumored Proxima Centauri. It is also known as Alpha Centauri C, and it is the third star in the Alpha Centauri system.
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf. Its diameter is only 1.5 times that of Jupiter, and its mass is one-eighth of the sun. Through its red color, we can infer that its surface temperature does not exceed 2,500 degrees. According to our astronomical research, such small stars should be the most numerous in the universe. They account for at least 70% of the universes stars.
Meanwhile, because stars undergo nuclear fusion at a much slower rate as their size decreases, a red dwarf like Alpha Centauri C should still have a lifespan of hundreds of billions or even trillions of years, which is much longer than the age of the current universe. Therefore, even until this date, humans have yet to find a red dwarf that has entered its middle age.
We are very close to the red dwarf now, roughly the distance between the sun and Mars. However, as its diameter is too small, it still looks smaller than even the two other stars behind it from our perspective.
After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at the two stars behind the red dwarf. Those two are the Alpha Centauri systems rulers: Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. The two stars are both massive main-sequence stars, and their mass is 1.1 times and 0.907 times that of the sun, respectively. They form a stable binary star system, which rotates and entangles with each other. They also drag along the red dwarf while theyre moving.
You can consider them to be a happy family of three.
In the universe, due to the gravitational disorder caused by the three-body problem, it is difficult to have a star system to have three stars or more. Hence, the fact that the closest star system to Earth is a triple star system is an incredible coincidence. Whats even more incredible is that
Turning around, Chen Yu glanced at the interactive event participants who were attracted by his narration. He then waved his hand, constructing a three-dimensional projection of the Alpha Centauri system. In 2016, the European Southern Observatory discovered that there actually exists a planet within the red dwarfs habitable zone.
Furthermore, this planet is actually a super-Earth with roughly the same size and mass as Earth!
[What?]
[Are there actually Trisolarans?]
[Master Liu is awesome!][1]
[Master Lius Three-Body Problem was published in 2006, but this super-Earth was discovered in 2016.]
[Thats why Master Liu is awesome!]
[Theres nothing wrong with this logic.]
[Nothing wrong. +1]
[Hurry up and see if there are any Trisolarans!]
[If there really is an alien civilization there, wouldnt we be getting ourselves killed by going there?]
[Fool. UPs spacecraft is equipped with godly equipment. Who do you think is going to be annihilated?]
[Lololol.]
[Im suddenly excited! Hurry up and go!]
Since weve come to the Alpha Centauri system, searching for life is naturally one of the tasks we have to do. We have already wasted a lot of time on the way here, so it wouldnt matter even if we waste a little more. Now, lets head straight for the super-EarthProxima Centauri b.
After saying so, Chen Yu mentally issued some commands. Immediately, the stationary spacecraft began moving once more.
M-Mr. King, will we have a chance to get off the spacecraft to collect rock samples? One of NASAs astronauts, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his hand and spoke in crude Chinese. It shouldnt take a lot of time.
Certainly, Chen Yu said, nodding as he sent the astronaut a glance. He then looked at the other donation group members and said, We have traveled across four light-years to get to this place. It will be a massive waste if we leave after taking just a few photos. Hence, all event participants with qualified spacesuits can disembark onto the planet and conduct exploration and sample collection.
As for those who cant get off the spacecraft, I will also find something on the planet and give it to you as a souvenir after disinfecting it.
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, everyone reacted in shock and joy.
Really?
UP, youre awesome!
What a huge catch!
Long live the UP!
[Im a little jealous.]
[Back when my girlfriend called me to tell me she was cheating on me, I wasnt even as jealous as I am now. Crap.]
[Im dying from jealousy]
[I dare say that aside from Mr. Ma, everyone else wont get to hold their souvenirs for more than three days.]
[I doubt anybody will dare steal a souvenir given by the UP, right?]
[Theres nothing the UP can do if the participants donate the souvenir to someone else.]
Raising his watch and looking at the torrent of bullet comments, Chen Yu laughed and said, Usually, other product reviewers would randomly give their fans some of the products they reviewed. As the products I review are somewhat special, I cannot give them to anyone. So, lets use this opportunity to give away some of Proxima Centauri bs local specialties. I will choose 1,000 people from the bullet comments and send them the souvenirs via express delivery.
[Daddy!]
[Daddy!]
[Daddy!]
[Ill buy the souvenir at a high price from anyone who wins it.]
I also have a complaint to make right now. The smart controls for this spacecraft are terrible compared to its technological content. It is impossible to automate the entire flight process. While traveling in FTL mode, I have to constantly check the surrounding pulsars to avoid any deviations in the travel route. There are also many things I need to control during normal flight.
Tapping his helmet, Chen Yu tried to relieve the slight pain in his brain and said, I dare say that the spacecrafts degree of automation isnt even a match for Chinas high-speed railway system. Is it too much to ask for an artificial intelligence to be installed?
There was a huge difference in speed between standard and FTL navigation. However, because Proxima Centauri was sufficiently close, even at the spacecrafts slow travel speed, it was still possible for everyone to notice the red dwarfs movements and changes.
It really is a small star.
Leaning against the wall and looking at the red dwarf outside, Chen Yu said, Its not much bigger than Jupiter. If not for it releasing solar flares from time to time, how is it any different from a gaseous planet?
However, it is also thanks to its small mass that the Alpha Centauri system can exist. Had it been a star similar to the suns size, the situation here would become a mess.
Hmm Everyone who wants to get off the spacecraft, start preparing. Also, make sure not to stray too far away from me once you arrive on the surface. Shout for help immediately if you notice any anomalies. By the way, connect your communicators and wireless transmitters to my helmet. That way, I can determine your locations at any time.
After speaking a few words to the astronauts, Chen Yu took out the High-frequency Lightsaber and explained to the camera, We will be out of the spacecrafts protective layer once we exit the spacecraft. To prevent any possible dangers, I will also disembark together with the astronauts.
Lets hope we can discover some aliens.
Four minutes later, the spacecraft arrived above the rusty red planet successfully
If this planet really had intelligent life, then from their perspective, a group of bigshots was about to land on their world
Chapter 326 - Landing!
Chapter 326 C Landing!
Milky Way, Alpha Centauri:
Under the Type-R Spacecrafts rapid cruising, Chen Yu and the others arrived within seven million kilometers of the red dwarf Proxima Centauri in less than 15 minutes.
At this distance, everyone could also clearly spot Proxima Centauri b, the rusty red planet that was roughly the same size as Earth.
From an outsiders perspective, Proxima b looked very similar to Mars, though it was much redder than Mars.
This proved that the planets surface contained a lot of metallic minerals.
Meanwhile, when the astronomy enthusiasts in the livestream rooms saw the red planet, their hearts sank simultaneously.
Inside the spacecraft, the donation groups astronauts couldnt help but exchange looks with each other and sigh helplessly.
The search for alien life had failed.
While Proxima b indeed possessed mass roughly similar to Earth, it had already been locked by the red dwarfs tide
Friends, it seems that we wont be finding any life on this planet, Chen Yu said, shrugging as he stared at the red planet ahead. It has already been locked by the red dwarfs tide. While this situation is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
As the red dwarf has low brightness and mass, the energy it radiates outward is feeble. Hence, its habitable zone is incredibly small. Meanwhile, for a planet to be at such close distance from a red dwarf, it is very typical for the planet to be tidally locked to the red dwarf. Take the solar systems Mercury and Earths moon, for example. Their rotation and revolution periods are equal, which results in half of the celestial body experiencing eternal day, and the other half experiencing eternal night.
It is impossible for there to be an exchange of information in such a complex and extreme environment. There will also be a huge disparity in the temperature of Proxima bs two sides. Hence, it is almost impossible for the spontaneous birth of life to occur here. Moreover, Proxima b is located in the innermost circle of Proxima Centauris habitable zone. Even if Proxima b does give birth to life, it is unknown whether said life can survive the red dwarfs super-powerful ultraviolet radiation.
Actually While putting on her spacesuit, the woman from the Red Coast Observatory corrected, It isnt impossible for planets tidally locked to produce life. According to the latest research results of Professor Hu Yongyun from Beijing Universitys School of Physics, ocean heat transport can substantially extend the dayside habitable area and efficiently warm the nightside. Hence, so long as conditions allow for it, not only would the nightsides atmosphere not collapse, but liquid water also wouldnt freeze up.
Is that so? Chen Yu nodded despite having no knowledge of the topic.
Yes. One of the two Japanese astronauts nodded. The industry generally agrees with this view.
Hearing these words, everyone regained a glimmer of hope.
Under a situation where they had an overwhelming advantage in equipment, all humans couldnt wait to see what the aliens looked like.
But what if this planet doesnt have an atmosphere? Chen Yu said quietly.
No atmosphere?
Mhm.
Chen Yu nodded. He then manipulated the spacecrafts telescope function and zoomed in on the distant planet. Immediately, what entered everyones eyes was a barren planet void of any clouds.
[Rip.]
[Why doesnt it have even the slightest bit of atmosphere? The temperature of red dwarfs isnt that high!]
[It obviously got blown away by the red dwarfs radiation.]
[Sure enough, the Trisolarans are in dire straits.]
[I suddenly realized that with UP on our side, isnt Earths combat power a little abnormal?]
Clap, clap.
Clapping his hands, Chen Yu looked toward the donation groups astronauts and asked, Is there any possibility of life now?
No.
Lets get things done quickly, then. The two other stars in the system are the main dish.
Okay.
Hai!
OK
Without an atmosphere, the spacecrafts descent onto Proxima b did not generate any flames. After landing on the planet, the cabin door opened, and a staircase unfolded from the spacecraft.
There is a temporary spatial film set up at the door to prevent the entry of harmful substances and ensure the safety of the spacecrafts passengers. However, after you step through this spatial film, you can only rely on your spacesuits to protect yourself. So, please thoroughly inspect your spacesuits. Otherwise, you will be responsible for any accidents that happen to you.
After saying so, Chen Yu put on his left glove and stepped out of the spacecraft first. He then arrived on solid ground a short moment later.
Well, this is a small step for me, but a big step for mankind as a whole. Of course, it is much bigger than Armstrongs. Its so big that I nearly stretched my balls.
Everyone:
Opening the storage compartment on his backplate, Chen Yu pulled out a red national flag and inserted it into the rocky ground. Since ancient times, this place has been a part of Chinas territory.
Everyone:
Since there is no atmosphere, there is no need to worry about temperature and atmospheric pressure. Everyone, come down.
With Chen Yus permission, all participants who had put on simple spacesuits promptly stepped out of the spacecraft one after another. They then began setting up scanning devices and collecting samples.
As for the interactive participants without spacesuits, they could only lean against the spacecrafts walls and gawk at the scenery outside.
Huh? Wheres Mr. Ma?
Shortly afterward, the people remaining on the spacecraft noticed that Jack Ma and his wife were nowhere to be seen. After careful inspection, they discovered that the couple had actually donned brand-new spacesuits and gotten off the spacecraft to take pictures.
Money really lets you do anything Leading Pillar said sourly.
Whoosh
Flying into the air with the plasma engines help, Chen Yu made a big circle around the spacecraft. Unfortunately, he failed to detect any intelligent creations or traces of intelligent life.
This is a desolate planet. There is no life to speak of here, Chen Yu said as he landed back on the ground. While collecting unique rock samples, he narrated, Previously, I have seen quite a few netizens asking the following: Life in the universe comes in all sorts of variety, so why should we look for life based on human standards? Can there not be silicon-based life? Plasma-based life? Or even all kinds of magical life? Why must scientists have such a monotonous imagination?
In actual fact, scientists have a much more colorful imagination than ordinary people. The kinds of lifeforms mentioned by netizens might exist, but we humans have never seen any examples. We also do not know the survival conditions and environment for such lifeforms.
The only thing we are certain is that Earths environment can give birth to life. Hence, why should scientists waste their time trying to blindly search for lifeforms in the vast universe instead of searching for planets based on Earths model?
Moreover, if we cant find even the most basic carbon-based life, there is no need for us to waste our time searching for intelligent life. In the vast universe, carbon-based life is the easiest to take form.
Digging up a slightly round stone from under the rocky ground, Chen Yu shook off the dust on the stone and continued showing off the knowledge he had learned through using the Quantum Reading Glasses. As we all know, carbon wont lose or gain electrons easily. It also doesnt form ionic bonds. The only thing carbon can form are covalent bonds. Simultaneously, the carbon element has a stable number of chemical bonds. If it had one less chemical bond, it would be incapable of forming various structures. If it had one more chemical bond, its stability would be affected.
Therefore, it is possible for various long chains, circular chains, branched chains, etc., to form between carbon atoms. Simply put, out of all elements found in the universe, only carbon is the most likely to form life. As for the silicon element, while the possibility for it to form life exists, the chances are drastically lower compared to carbon. As for the other elements
Sneering at the camera, Chen Yu said, Ill bet a kidney that no life can come from those elements.
Buzz!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a spherical blue light the size of a ping-pong ball suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air. The ball of light then began consciously rising and falling, flickering in and out of existence
Chen Yu: ???
Chapter 327 - Mysterious Intelligent Creation
Chapter 327 C Mysterious Intelligent Creation
Through the information transmission of quantum entanglement, Chen Yu and his 170 million viewers in the distant Earth noticed the blue spherical light simultaneously.
The ball of light was about the size of an ordinary ping-pong ball, and it seemed to possess a consciousness of its own as it bobbed up and down in front of Chen Yu. The glow it gave off also flickered in and out of existence as it moved.
[Crap! Aliens!]
[It looks like a will-o-wisp.]
[its clearly a ball of lightning.]
[Danger!]
[It doesnt matter what this thing is. I just want to know whether youre going to cut it or not, UP.]
It is watching me.
Carefully bending over, Chen Yu set down the stones he had gathered and pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber. He then backed away cautiously.
However, the light orb immediately caught up with him, continually maintaining a distance of three meters from him.
Buzz!
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu activated the lightsaber without hesitation. Accompanied by a buzzing sound, a dazzling and scorching beam of light appeared between him and the ball of light.
However, a second after the light beam appeared, the blue light orb suddenly turned into a stream of light that rushed at the light beam and merged with it
What? Chen Yu shuddered from his fear of the unknown. Immediately, he turned off the lightsaber and threw the hilt far away.
Bang!
Under Chen Yus superhuman throw, half of the sturdy metallic hilt got stabbed into the ground.
Whoosh
Activating the plasma engine, Chen Yu took to the skies and carefully observed the lightsabers hilt. He then said solemnly and warily, That is definitely not a ball-shaped lightning. It is observing me. I believe that there is a high chance that this light orb is the creation of intelligent life. Maybe it is a probe for scientific research? Or maybe some kind of sensor?
Also Taking a look around him, Chen Yu subconsciously clenched his fists and said, Its creator might very well be nearby.
Regardless, its existence has surpassed our realm of understanding. Suppose that light ball really is an intelligent creation. In that case, this proves that the civilization that created it is far more advanced than modern human civilization. In addition, through the light balls interaction with the lightsaber, the light orb should be a type of plasma. However, the possibility that it is a living being is small.
Whether my conjecture is correct, we can only wait until scientific researchers have analyzed this video clip to find out. After taking a long glance at the lightsaber hilt stabbed into the rocky ground, Chen Yu turned around and flew back toward the Type-R Spacecraft. Well leave the lightsaber here. We have seen plenty of movies depicting disasters brought about by bringing alien objects back to Earth. Safety is our number one priority. If this lightsaber doesnt disappear, any countrys government who are still interested in it can send a group of researchers here to come to study it in the future.
[I get what youre saying, but are you still going to cut out your kidney or not?]
[The UP already said it isnt a living being.]
[You mean he refuses to acknowledge it. ( ????)]
[Lets be real. Even if plasma lifeforms exist, it is unlikely for them to live on a planet.]
[Is there anyone forming a group to recollect the lightsaber? It should auction off for a lot of money.]
Shortly afterward, Chen Yu returned to the spacecraft and saw that the astronauts were normally going through their work. Immediately, he breathed out a sigh of relief.
Boom.
After landing on the ground, Chen Yu connected his protective suits helmet with one of NASAs astronauts radio and asked, Did any abnormalities happen here?
Abnormalities? The astronaut in question raised his head in confusion, revealing his sweaty face to Chen Yu. The astronaut then said, What kind of abnormalities are you referring to?
For example, some kind of light orb, or something thats beyond common sense.
No. The astronaut shook his head. However, after listening to Chen Yus words, the astronaut couldnt help but grow anxious. M-Mr. Chen, d-did you find something?
Its nothing. Are you done setting up your equipment?
Almost. Theres only the communication transmitter left.
Can it reach Earth? Chen Yu asked in surprise?
It cannot.
Why are you even installing it, then?
I dont know, either.
Well, try to finish as quickly as possible. Get back onto the spacecraft once youre done.
At Chen Yus urging, the astronauts working outside the spacecraft started feeling slightly insecure. Immediately, they finished their work and returned to the spacecraft.
Inside the temporary decontamination room Chen Yu had set up, every person and object had to undergo strict decontamination before they could enter the spacecraft.
Hu
Jack Ma and his wife were the first ones to exit the decontamination room. As soon as they exited the temporary room and took a deep breath, several youngsters from the bullet comment group hurriedly stepped forward and helped them remove their spacesuits.
Mhm. What excellent youngsters, Jack Ma said as he removed his helmet and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Hearing this, the youngsters worked even more diligently
While the astronauts were boarding the spacecraft, Chen Yu walked toward a two-meter-tall boulder and sent a punch at its center!
Boom!
Crumble
After being struck by the huge force, the boulder shattered and crumbled apart. As the debris fell to the ground, a cloud of non-proliferating dust rose to the air.
Chen Yu then began grabbing the rubble by the handful and stored it in his backplates storage compartment.
Two minutes later, the storage compartment was filled up. Chen Yu then returned to the spacecraft while saying, There should be more than 1,000 individual pieces. This is a gift I painstakingly prepared. Im sure my fans will like it.
[I like it very much. You are a really conscientious streamer, UP.]
[I dont know what to say. :)]
[Its fine so long as it is worth money.]
[A valuable gift prepared with no feelings, or a cheap gift prepared with feelings. Which one would you choose?]
[I want the valuable gift.]
[+1.]
[I want the valuable gift as well.]
[Can feelings be turned into a meal?! I want the valuable gift!]
Hiss
After being decontaminated by ultraviolet radiation, 60C0- rays, ethylene oxide, ozone, and a dozen other decontamination agents, Chen Yu stepped into the spacecraft and set aside his heavy storage compartment at a corner. Only then did he relax completely. Its finally safe
The Type-R Spacecraft was a product of human civilization in the year 6877. He had no doubts about the spacecrafts safety.
Has everyone returned? Chen Yu asked as he looked around the spacecraft. Is there anyone missing?
Everyones here.
Good. Everyone, come closer. Let me talk about the unexpected situation that I have just experienced. Patting off the dust on his body, Chen Yu said in a solemn tone, While I was out exploring the vicinity, I came across an encounter of the third kind.
At this mention, everyones expressions changed immediately.
Yes, it is possibly an alien. While mentally activating the spacecraft, Chen Yu sped up his speech and entered the main point, The thing I came across is most likely an intelligent creation, and I speculate that it is something like a probe. However, no matter what it is, it is a fact that it carries a certain degree of danger. Moreover, based on how it just so happened to have appeared near me, I have reason to suspect that it has been following us for a long time.
Everyone inside the cabin exchanged looks with each other, unsure of what to say in this situation.
W-What does that aliens look like?
It is an intelligent creation, Chen Yu emphasized. It isnt an alien. Its appearance is a light orb. It is blue in color, and its size is no more than two segments of a pinky. Has anyone here seen it?
Everyone shook their heads.
Hmm
Chen Yu groaned. Looking at the red earth below that was quickly growing distant, he said thoughtfully, Matter that carries information cannot exceed the speed of light. So, unless that light orb has been hidden on the spacecraft all along, there is no way it can catch up with the spacecraft when it is moving at 5,000 times the speed of light. So, the more likely possibility is that the light orb originated from Alpha Centauri, and it mustve found us and chased after us after we entered the star system.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked at the camera and paused slightly. He then continued in a somewhat excited tone, Maybe
Our neighboring star system might actually have an intelligent civilization
Chapter 328 - Crossing Space-Time!
Chapter 328 C Crossing Space-Time!
Normally, after having found evidence of a possible alien civilization that was more advanced than human civilization, the logical move for Chen Yu to make would be to return back to Earth as quickly as possible to ensure the safety of his passengers.
However, Chen Yu was extremely confident in the Type-R Spacecraft.
Human civilization in the year 6877 was definitely an advanced civilization that spanned across multiple planetary systems.
He refused to believe that the civilization residing in Alpha Centauri could be stronger than human civilization in the seventh millennium.
In the world of science and technology, just a gap of one era could lead to an immense difference, let alone a gap of several thousand years.
Hence, even if the Type-R Spacecraft was only a civilian spacecraft, Chen Yu was confident it could beat any Type II civilization or below based on the Kardashev scale.
Meanwhile, a Type II civilization couldnt appear in this triple star system. Otherwise, the solar system, which was only a short distance away, wouldve long since been colonized.
Not to mention, if the blue orb really was a probe, it wouldve undoubtedly detected the existence of his party. For the sake of Earths safety, he had an obligation to investigate the Alpha Centauri system clearly and resolve any problems that may pose a threat to Earth.
Standing in place, Chen Yu looked toward the two dazzling stars ahead as his brain began making various plans.
I wonder if the detonation of a star here would affect the solar system
A short moment later, the spacecraft broke free from Proxima Centauri bs gravitational field. Chen Yu immediately had the spacecraft circle around the planet at the max speed of its normal navigation mode.
Looking at the red planet underneath his feet, Chen Yu explained to the camera, I am currently making a 360-degree scan of the planet to see whether it houses any life or not. The spacecraft has two built-in scanning systems; one is an isotope analyzer, and the other is a circular polarization life scanner. With the two working together, it is possible to complete a three-dimensional reconnaissance of the planet efficiently.
The theory behind the isotope analyzer was born in 3155 and actualized around the year 4000. As the name suggests, it is used to detect different nuclides of the same element with the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons. It is possible to accurately determine whether there are more than the standard amounts of artificially manufactured elements on the planet by detecting these elements. If there are, it means that there is an intelligent civilization here, and the level of civilization has reached the atomic level.
The circular polarization life scanners theory was born around 2019 and actualized around the 30th century. The detailed explanation for circular polarization is complicated and involves physics, optics, and various complex formulas. So, Ill just state a brief explanation. It doesnt matter even if you dont understand it.
The amino acids that make up human proteins are all left-handed versions of their respective molecules. When light interacts with these long chains, they become circularly polarized. Their electromagnetic waves will spiral clockwise or counterclockwise and travel outward. The so-called circular polarization scan is meant to detect any circular polarization occurring on the planet. If there is, it means that there are living things here.
Of the two scanning systems, the latter determines whether a living creature exists, and the former determines whether the creature in question has reached the level of an intelligent civilization.
Of course, ironically Shrugging, Chen Yu said, According to the knowledge I obtained, the first time the circular polarization life scanner was put into action wasnt to search for alien life, but for war instead. Gatherings of people can be detected through the use of satellites equipped with this life scanner, and the information collected can be used to launch targeted attacks.
[]
[As expected of humans.]
[As expected of humans. +1]
[What a bloody damned bright idea]
[Its over. With the UPs reminder, the various nations will definitely start researching this technology.]
[They mightve long since started on it already.]
[This is the last episode. Please cherish it.]
During Chen Yus explanation, the Type-R Spacecraft had completed a full scan of Proxima Centauri b. However, both scanners had yielded negative results.
Indifferently, Chen Yu adjusted the spacecrafts flight angle and had it fly along the planets equator.
Several minutes later, the spacecraft circled around the planet once more. However, its scanners still failed to find any traces of life.
It seems our alien civilization isnt on this planet. Adjusting the camera toward the two distant stars, Chen Yu said, This is within expectations. This planet simply isnt suited for life. Lets take a look at the two other stars. Im guessing that there should be quite a few planets around them.
The journey to Alpha Centauri A and B is very long, so well need to enter FTL navigation mode. However, to enter FTL navigation, well need to fly out of the red dwarfs gravitational field, and this process will take at least a dozen minutes.
Lets play a fun game during these dozen minutes.
After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at the solar systems direction and asked, Look there. You can see a star, right?
Both the camera and the crowd aboard the spacecraft followed Chen Yus finger.
Beautiful lady. Walking up to Xing Biqi, who stood at a lonely corner, Chen Yu asked, I noticed that youve been looking at that star all this time. Do you know where that is?
The solar system.
How did you know?
I-I remember its location
Sensing the gaze of the surrounding people focusing on her, Xing Biqi couldnt help but grow a little nervous. And when she thought about how over a hundred million people in the livestream rooms were looking at her as well, she started feeling a little dizzy.
Thats right. The solar system is over there.
After patting the girl on her shoulders, Chen Yu walked into the crowd and said casually, We have spent over seven hours traveling across a distance of four light-years. Im sure some of you must be wondering whether we can see the Earth four years ago if we look back at it now, right?
At Chen Yus words, the eyes of both interactive event participants and the livestreams audience glowed brightly!
This was a fascinating experiment for everyone.
The answer is yes. The solar system we see from our current position is the solar system four years ago. With the spacecrafts built-in telescope technology, it is entirely possible to obtain most of the light information coming from four light-years away. By utilizing the seventh millenniums model-filling technology, restoring Earths image wouldnt be a problem.
Now, let us begin taking a look at 2017s Earth.
After saying so, Chen Yu stopped blabbering and activated the spacecrafts zoom function in the solar systems direction.
Click!
Click!
Click
As the distance grew closer, the originally dazzling star transformed into something resembling a full moon. Jupiter and Saturn could also be seen reflecting the suns light nearby.
Do you see it? Thats the solar system four years ago. The position of the planets is completely different from present times.
After saying so, Chen Yi continued zooming in.
Click
A blue planet appeared on the display
[Amazing!]
[Thats Earth four years ago!]
[Ive time-traveled!]
[Can you zoom in any further? Show us Earths internal organs.]
[Ive decided! Im learning astrophysics from now on! Its so romantic!]
[Brother, trust me. Youd rather study medicine than get involved in astrophysics. It still isnt too late to turn back.]
[It feels like Im watching a movie. How exciting.]
Everyone on Earth is currently living in the year 2021, yet you are watching 2017s Earth through my livestream. From a certain perspective, you can consider this to be a type of time travel.
However, I cannot arbitrarily adjust the camera angle from my current position, so we can only see a corner of the eastern hemisphere. We can barely see the border of China. That there should bethe boundary between Yunnan and Guizhou, right? Lets continue zooming in and test the limits of the spacecrafts telescope.
After saying so, Chen Yu zoomed in on the image once more.
Including Xing Biqi, everyone inside the spherical hall hurriedly moved behind Chen Yu and widened their eyes, eagerly awaiting the magical scene that would appear next
Chapter 329 - Rewinding Time
Chapter 329 C Rewinding Time
In the novel Three-Body Problem, humans had discovered the Trisolarans fleet four light-years away by analyzing the tracks left in the interplanetary dust clouds.
Now, the livestreams audience were similarly looking through four light-years of distance and seeing the blue Earth with their very own eyes.
However, the difference was that the 69th centurys human technology was much more advanced than the human technology available in Three-Body Problem. It was capable of enlarging the image resolution to a level beyond imagination.
Mountains, rivers, deserts, forestsas well as the slightly blurred urban agglomeration, everything had entered the audiences view.
This was the Earth four years ago.
It was a period where humans had long since experienced
As the telescope continued zooming in, the blurred urban agglomeration gradually became clearer. It was even possible to see the crowds and vehicles roaming on the streets if one looked closely.
[Damn! Thats Kunming City!]
[I see the Science and Technology Museum.]
[Thats the Science and Technology Museum four years ago. The museums backyard has already been developed at this time.]
[The image still isnt clear enough. Can you zoom in a bit more?]
[I was born in 2017!]
[So, you gained enlightenment in 2021?]
[If you fly to a distance of two thousand light-years away, does that mean you can see the Qin Dynasty?]
[In theory, thats possible. However, at such a long distance, a lot of the optical information should be lost already. You wont get as clear of an image.]
[Maybe future review products might be able to do it.]
[I want to look at an ancient brothel.]
[I want to see it too.]
[Brothel +1]
We have reached the magnification limit.
When the picture was zoomed in to the ratio of 1cm/100m, the spacecrafts built-in telescope technology could no longer guarantee the images clarity. Zooming in any further would only result in the addition of randomly simulated pixels due to insufficient light information.
Stepping aside, Chen Yu gave the interactive participants behind him a better view of the image. He then shrugged and said to the camera, We are simply too far away. At this distance, we can just barely see the flow of traffic. Moreover, it is also impossible to view any location that has clouds hovering over it. I feel that only if we are within a distance of two light-years can we get a clear view of a persons face.
Speaking of this, I suddenly came up with a brilliant idea. If, in the future, we install thousands of such telescopes one or two light-years away from the solar system, wont it be even better than having an eye in the sky? Wherever crime occurs, we can just have one of these telescopes fly to the appropriate location. We can then look at the historical records of the crime scene from one day ago to two years ago, solving the crime quickly.
[You are such a genius.]
[The theory is feasible, but crap in practice.]
[Its like using Victorias Secret to wipe your bum.]
[What kind of stupid metaphor is that?]
[I cant hold it in anymore! Where did the female assistant go?! Is nobody paying attention to this?!]
She became famous, just like that
Earth, Chen familys abode, living room:
Holding her phone, Chen Yike gnashed her teeth as she watched the follower count ofo Xing Biqis Weibo[1] account skyrocketing.
By some supernatural means, netizens had managed to uncover the information of every person participating in Transdimensional Reviews interactive event this time in just a few hours.
Among the participants, the person who received the most attention was the cross-dresser Falling Dawn. Coming after him was Xing Biqi, who possessed an exquisite appearance.
Xing Biqis initial follower count of six had instantly shot up to 2.1 million.
She had instantly become an internet celebrity.
The comment section under her most recent post also exploded with activity.
[Goddess!]
[Beautiful]
[@Azure Flag, are you interested in developing in the entertainment industry? Ive already sent you a private message.]
[You are the real RNGesus!]
[Can you sell me the souvenir the UP is giving you? The price is negotiable.]
[What an innocent girl. Following. ( ????)]
[What a beautiful goddess.]
If others know that my brother is Transdimensionals UP, I can definitely become even more popular!
Clicking her tongue, Chen Yike swiped her finger across her phone and switched to looking at her own Weibo home page. When she saw her pitiful follower count of 12, she couldnt help but sigh deeply.
Sure enough, men only like the new and dislike the old.
I was clearly here first
In the neighboring Alpha Centauri system
A streak of white light gradually glided across the deep space and departed from the red dwarf known as Proxima Centauri.
After the spacecraft representing mankinds majesty crossed a distance of 300 astronomical units, it had finally left the red dwarfs strong gravitational field. Immediately afterward, the spacecraft entered FTL navigation mode.
I wonder if anyone has noticed it? Inside the spacecraft, Chen Yu pointed at a building in the urban area of Kunming and said, The height of the tall building on the left is rapidly lowering. This is because we are moving further away from Earth at a speed faster than light. This has led to the phenomenon of time reversal. To explain it simply, we are rewinding time.
The faster our speed gets, the faster well see Earth go back in time. Once the spacecraft flies to a distance of 1,000 light-years away from Earth, the Earth well see will be from 1,000 years ago.
[Reversing my like!]
[It would be great if we could zoom in even further. I want to see what a poop getting retracted looks like.]
[?]
[You can also watch someone spitting out the noodles they just ate.]
[??]
[Stuffing the rescued wounded back into the vehicle.]
[???]
[The world moving backward really is beautiful. ( ????)]
[The more viewers there are, the greater the chances for lunatics to appear.]
[Is nobody caring about the fact that a bug has appeared? The spacecraft is already moving faster than light, so why can we still see an image of Earth?! Light cant even keep up with the spacecraft!]
Raising his watch, Chen Yu looked at the bullet comments and couldnt help but be stunned.
I see some excellent questions posted by the audience. Since the spacecraft is already moving faster than light, why can we still see the scenes behind the spacecraft? Logically, photons shouldnt be able to keep up with us, so shouldnt the scene behind the spacecraft be pitch-black?
This line of thinking is definitely correct. When a person moves at supersonic speed, they wont hear sounds coming from behind them. This principle should also apply to light. So, why can we see the view behind the spacecraft?
The answer is actually very simple.
Taking a few steps forward, Chen Yu reached out and tapped his knuckles on the cabins invisible wall. I said before that the transparent spacecraft you see isnt actually transparent. You can think of it as an ultra-high-definition screen. The scenery you see at the front, back, left, and right sides of the cabin are merely light signals collected by the cameras outside the spacecraft. The collected light signals are then converted into a video format and played inside the cabin.
The maglev train I reviewed before is also similar in this aspect. The walls of the trains passenger compartments are also made up of screens.
Therefore, even when this spacecraft is traveling faster than light, its cameras will collect the photons they come across. If there is light information coming from the front, there is naturally light information coming from the back, left, and right sides. Hence, we can see our surrounding environment clearly even while traveling faster than light.
[So cool!]
[Technology really is magical.]
[Full marks for this sophistry.]
[Quick! Look! Earth is rewinding!]
When the spacecraft reached 50 times the speed of light, everyone could see Earth rotating in a backward direction.
Excellent. We can admire other places now. Chen Yu immediately manipulated the telescope and directed it to Chinas capital with enthusiasm. Lets show Tiananmen Square to our global audience
However, the next moment, no matter how much he zoomed in, the only thing he could see were layers of opaque, gray haze
The livestreams 170 million viewers:
Mhm.
As expected of the countrys national weapon! Not only can it prevent missiles from aiming at it, but it can also block the prying eyes of higher civilizations
Chapter 330 - Tenth Official Livestream Over

Chapter 330 C Tenth Official Livestream Over
In the boundless outer space
After flying at 5,000 times the speed of light for 17 minutes, the Type-R Spacecraft exited its FTL navigation mode and stopped between two massive orbs.
Were here. Opening his eyes, Chen Yu stood up and looked at the two dazzling stars ahead. Thats Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. They are the Alpha Centauri systems two largest stars.
Snapping his fingers, Chen Yu further increased the spacecrafts light filtering effect. He then activated the spacecrafts gravity detection technology and scanned for all planets within a radius of 5,000 astronomical units.
However, after the scan results came in, Chen Yu couldnt help but be dumbfounded.
There were actually no planets within the strong gravitational field of Alpha Centauri A and B
The only noteworthy thing present within the two stars strong gravitational field was the remnant of a planet with a 12-kilometer radius found roughly 1.5 AU away from Alpha Centauri B.
D-Did you find aliens? Jack Ma asked eagerly.
No. After rechecking the scan result in his mind and verifying its accuracy, Chen Yu shrugged helplessly and said, Let alone aliens, there isnt even a place for aliens to settle here. This place is a dead world.
How desolate the cross-dresser said in a rugged voice as he leaned against a wall and looked out at the two dazzling stars.
This is the nature of binary star systems. The powerful and chaotic gravitational field prevents the possibility of many rocks and dust from gathering and transforming into planets. And even if something sizable is formed, it would be easily thrown out of the system because of the three-body problem. The fact that Alpha Centauri can even retain one planet is already plenty amazing.
After saying so, Chen Yu adjusted the spacecrafts flight path and had it fly toward the remnant planet.
Five minutes later, the spacecraft arrived at its destination. He then put on his glove and said to everyone, Ill go out to take a look first. Do not follow me even if you have a spacesuit. There is too much rubble floating outside. Your simple spacesuits wont be able to withstand impact with them, Chen Yu said. He then opened a small gap in the cabin wall and squeezed out of it.
Whoosh!
Activating the plasma engine, he flew toward a huge, rotating meteorite and tapped on its hard exterior. According to scan results, this fragment is brimming with silicon and magnesium. It is unlikely to be the residue of a solid planet crushed after an impact. Instead, it resembles more like the asteroid belt in our solar system.
If there is only one star here and its gravitational field is stable, a planet of low mass might form after hundreds of millions of years. However, with the situation here as it is, there is no chance for a planet to form.
Opening his backplates storage compartment, Chen Yu removed some of the rubble he collected from Proxima Centauri b. He then chiseled off some samples from the meteorite and stored them.
One minute later, the storage compartment was full once more. And after undergoing strict decontamination, he returned to the spacecrafts cabin.
Boom.
After setting aside the heavy storage compartment, Chen Yu rubbed his slightly numb shoulders. He then faced the camera and said, I made a mistake in my initial prediction. There is no alien civilization here. This means that the blue orb I encountered before most likely originates from outside the Alpha Centauri system. Simply put, this interstellar trip wasnt as profitable as we expected. However, this is also an understandable result. After all, the universe is a very empty place.
Actually, if not for time constraints, I personally wish to visit Tabbys Star, which is more than a thousand light-years away. Lets set up a foreshadowing here. If theres an opportunity in the future, Ill bring everything I have for a visit there. We can also be certain well find aliens at Tabbys Star.
[Annihilate them! Let them fear the might of humans!]
[Control all of the alien scientists. Feed them a mouthful of food for every scientific paper they write.]
[Lock up the alien authors as well. Feed them a mouthful of feces for every chapter they write.]
[]
[How many screws are you guys missing?]
[Why are you guys so violent? Isnt it better to just capture and enslave them?]
[We should check whether they taste good first. We can consider other options if they dont taste good.]
[Scary humans]
[I wonder if there will be reproductive isolation between the aliens and us?]
1
[Mate, you have excellent tastes.]
Removing his left glove, Chen Yu took a look at the time and said, Its 5:21 PM now. Weve been streaming since 9 AM. Its been more than eight hours already. We have already reviewed the spacecrafts overall performance and actual experience, so its about time we return.
During these eight hours, we have experienced FTL travel, witnessed the reversal of time, and experienced a close encounter of the third kind. We have also harvested several hundred kilograms of alien rock samples. Most importantly, we have broadened our horizons and finally taken the first step out of the well known as the solar system.
This will be an unforgettable day for both myself and the humans of Earth. This day will be forever recorded in history.
Tsiolkovsky once said that Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot remain in the cradle forever. Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu patted the cabins transparent wall and concluded, The old man mustve never thought that in just a few dozen years, humanity, which is still in its infancy stages, has not only left its cradle, but it had even done so while riding a tank.
Thats it for todays livestream. Firstly, I would like to thank Roaming Haha[1] for providing us with the Type-R Spacecraft. Secondly, I would like to thank the audience for staying with me throughout this livestream. As everyone can see, after my access level has reached C-, the technological content of the products I receive have clearly risen by several levels. I believe that the next official livestream will be equally exciting. Let us pursue the limits of human civilization together!
Alas, there is no banquet that lasts forever in the world. As the return trip wont have any exciting events, I wont waste everyones precious time. Let us meet again in the eleventh official livestream a month later! Be there, or be square!
[Nani?]
[Whats with this abrupt ending?!]
[I havent had my fill yet]
[Dont stop! We can still watch!]
[Guys! Go look at posts relating to Transdimensional Review! The government has stopped banning them!]
[I want to watch the return trip as well. It wont harm your electricity bill, so why not continue the livestream?]
[I suddenly discovered that the cross-dresser is quite temperamental!]
[I know, right? Despite being so flirty, hes not willing to let others touch him.]
[Where did the female assistant go (???;)]
When Chen Yu turned off the livestream, the barrage of bullet comments came to an abrupt halt.
The review is over. Lowering his wrist, Chen Yu turned toward the interactive event participants and said, We will begin our return trip now. We will still travel at 5,000 times the speed of light. To alleviate the discomfort caused by the light distortions, I suggest you return to your rooms. Does anybody have any questions?
At this time, the woman from the Red Coast Observatory suddenly spoke up, Mr. UP, can I leave something in Alpha Centauri?
Here?
Yes, here.
What do you want to leave behind?
After pulling on her hair lightly, the woman, the woman grabbed a small gray pot from her backpack and said, My husbands ashes.
Everyone:
Whoosh.
Accompanied by the spreading of white powder, the Type-R Spacecraft carrying roughly 30 Earthlings departed from the binary stars gravitational field. The spacecraft disappeared instantly without leaving any traces behind.
Meanwhile, on the red planet located within Proxima Centauris habitable zone
The lightsaber Chen Yu discarded suddenly trembled slightly, shaking off some of the rubble stacked around it

Is the relay communication connection functioning normally?
An additional delay of 0.044 seconds.
Change the angle. Switch to the DSCS relay satellite. Authorization password 0032.
Replacement complete.
There may be an error in the Mars observation system. Please restart it manually.
Will the route be affected by a restart?
It will not. Please restart it manually.
Understood
Inside the manned spacecraft traveling from Earth to Mars, an astronaut got out of his seat and hovered to the cabins left side. He then manually pressed the restart button of the observation system before returning to his seat. Stretching his waist, he said, The daily inspections are over. I can finally get some rest.
You can sleep up to four hours only, the pilot said as he glanced at the dashboard. Well be entering Marss orbit at night.
Hearing this, the astronaut turned his head and looked at the red planet outside the glass window. Subconsciously biting his lip, he said, Were finally here.
Congratulations, the pilot said while holding a thumb up. I wish you all the best in your new life.
Heh. I know youre jealous.
The living conditions on Mars are so harsh. Whats there to be envious of? the pilot said, raising an eyebrow.
How about we switch places? Ill stay behind while you follow the Captain and the others down to Mars, the astronaut said with a boisterous smile.
Are you sure? The pilot narrowed his eyes, evidently moved by the offer.
Im kidding, ahahaha.
Do you have nothing better to do? the pilot said calmly while turning off the audio communication with Earth. Once that was done, he immediately sent a slap to the astronauts head and cursed, You retard! Fuck!
Ahaha the astronaut laughed even more happily.
However, after a few laughs, the astronauts face stiffened as he pointed out the window. That That
You have very poor humor. Do you think Ill be fooled again? the pilot said as he reopened the audio communication system.
I-Im not joking with you this time! Look out the window!
Im not looking.
Just take a look! The astronaut hurriedly grabbed the pilots head and twisted it.
Crack.
Do you see it?
The pilots mouth fell wide open as he looked at the interstellar spacecraft outside the window.
Its Transdimensionals UPs spacecraft! Do you see it?! Speak up!
I-I see it Holding onto his aching neck, the pilot said, It really is unbelievable.
Look! The spacecrafts hull is turning translucent! Theyre greeting us!
Whats all the noise?! At this time, the captain of the astronauts sat up from the spacecrafts rear cabin and bellowed angrily, Cant you see youre affecting everyones rest?!
Captain! Come here quickly and take a look!
What?
Come quickly!
The captain skeptically unbuckled his seat belt and hovered his way toward the window. And as soon as he looked out the window, he was stunned immediately.
Over two dozen people were currently floating out in the empty space some distance away, and these people were passionately waving their hands at them
Did I take the wrong medicine? Shrinking back, the captain pulled out the medicine box he carried on his person and inspected the prescribed medication inside. Did you guys take the wrong medicine as well?
Captain, thats Transdimensionals UPs spacecraft! They just came back from Proxima Centauri! the astronaut leaning against the window said while similarly waving his hands at the people floating out in space. I can see the UP! This is awesome!
Ah After remaining in a daze for some time, the captain finally sorted out his thoughts and understood what was going on. Hurriedly, he leaned against the window as well. This is the content of Transdimensional Reviews latest episode? They visited Alpha Centauri?
Yes. You were asleep, so you missed it Ah! Theyre gone Looking at the Type-R Spacecraft making its way towards Earth, the first astronaut pursed his lips and said, We havent even landed on Mars, yet theyve already returned from the Alpha Centauri system.
Wait, Alpha Centauri?! How is that possible?! Can that thing travel faster than light!?
According to the information that came in from headquarters just now, that spacecraft can move at 5,000 times the speed of light.
H-How is this possible
It does so by influencing the expansion and contraction of space. It doesnt accelerate to light speed via conventional acceleration. Returning to his seat, the first astronaut absent-mindedly said, I heard that the spacecraft needs to be outside the strong gravitational field of a star to move faster than light. We are still within the solar system, so they could afford to stop and take a look at us.
This is too unreal
Well, this is future technology were talking about. Theres no way we can compare, the pilot said, his hands still holding onto his neck. Hey, why does my neck hurt so much?
Maybe you slept in a bad posture, the first astronaut murmured. He then inspected the consoles around him and said uncomfortably, After looking at the UPs spacecraft, I suddenly feel that ours looks like an old antique.
Its already the most advanced spacecraft in the world.
An advanced antique
Dear passengers, the trip to Alpha Centauri is over. Thank you very much for riding with us. I hope we can meet again in the future.
As the Type-R Spacecraft steadily stopped outside of Earths atmosphere, Chen Yu bowed slightly to everyone in the ship and said, As usual, I will drop off the bullet comment group members first before proceeding to the donation group members. As the spacecraft can move relatively quickly, Ill be dropping you off personally instead of using the Interstellar Portal.
Awesome!
Wonderful
The bullet comment groups members cheered.
First, ID Falling Dawn. I recall your address is in Guizhou, right? Chen Yu asked while swiping his finger across his watch and inspecting his private messaging interface.
Yes, the cross-dresser said, smiling. He then said fiercely, The new villa area in Guizhous eastern suburbs!
I know. Why are you shouting so loudly?
Sorry, I was born with a loud voice
After confirming the location, Chen Yu decisively controlled the spacecraft to descend and fly towards Chinas Guizhou.
A dozen minutes later
The dark skies of Guizhou Provinces eastern suburbs suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue.
The residents in the area who had just started their nightlife couldnt help but reveal horrified expressions on their faces as they stared at the miniature sun in the sky, many of them thinking that the end of the world was here.
However, a portion of the people who were Transdimensional Reviews audience quickly snapped out of their daze and realized that this miniature sun was possibly the Alpha Centauri Flight making its return
,µɫʧ.
Five seconds later, the blue flames descending from the sky suddenly disappeared from everyones vision.
Whoosh Boom! Boom!
Shortly after the flames disappeared, deafening booms followed
Boom!
As the spacecraft slowly descended, the powerful air pressure it generated crushed the lawn outside a villa.
Squeak
The next moment, an opening appeared on the spacecrafts cabin, followed by the extension of a flight of steps. The cross-dresser Falling Dawn then slowly walked out of the spacecraft.
Is it fine to damage your lawn? Chen Yu asked as he leaned out of the hatch.
Its fine. Its fake.
You live alone in such a large villa?
Mhm. Stepping onto the tattered lawn, Falling Dawn turned around and waved his hand at Chen Yu. Thank you. This has been the most memorable trip of my life.
No problem. Its your fault for being an RNGesus. After saying so, Chen Yu tossed a stone to Falling Dawn and said, Catch it. Its your present.
Clap.
Falling Dawn received the stone with both hands. Inspecting the stone and finding that it was an exoplanetary rock engraved with the words Transdimensional Souvenir, she said, Thank you.
Goodbye. Let us meet again if fate wills it, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. However, just as he was about to return to the spacecraft, a slightly chubby man suddenly ran out of the hatch and down the staircase in a hurry.
What are you doing? Chen Yu couldnt help but stare at Leading Pillar in shock.
Im going to my partners house, Leading Pillar said as he took the other souvenir in Chen Yus hand. He then strode up to the cross-dressers side and held the latters hand. Thank you, host. You allowed us to find the most romantic love in the world.
Chen Yu: ?
Even after the spacecraft took to the skies, Chen Yu still wore a blank look on his face.
U-UP, am I up next? the girl with the ID of Crooked Cart asked timidly as she approached Chen Yu.
Huh? Oh, yes, its you. Nanhe District, right?
C-Can you drop me off in another location?
No problem. Where to?
I want to go to
Six minutes later.
Beijing.
Amidst the stunned gazes of tens of millions of people, a large fireball intertwined with lightning and thunder appeared out of nowhere and fell fiercely towards
Chapter 332 - Global Sensation (2)
Chapter 332 C Global Sensation (2)
The Type-R Spacecraft left a tail of bluish-white flames as it flew across the night sky, the flames illuminating half of Beijing. Under the shocked gazes of tens of millions of people, the spacecraft eventually stopped 3,000 meters above Tiananmen Square and began its gradual descent.
Rumble
When the spacecraft reached the ground, it shattered the floor tiles, and sounds of wind billowing and thunder roaring echoed throughout the area.
The citizens:
The police officers:
Squeak
The cabin hatch opened, and a girl hopped down along the unfolded staircase and stepped onto the solid ground. She then raised her hands and said, Oh! Wonderful! I love China!
Turn around. Catch. Leaning out of the hatch, Chen Yu tossed a souvenir to the girl.
Thank youch! The girl with the ID Crooked Cart stretched out her hands to catch the approaching rock. However, due to a lack of hand-eye coordination, she ended up watching the rock smash into her forehead.
Are you okay?
I-Im fine
Youre bleeding.
Its normal to bleed on the first time.
Makes sense.
Picking up the fallen rock, the girl scrutinized it. When she saw the words engraved on the stone, her pain vanished, and she excitedly waved her hand at Chen Yu while saying, Thank you!
No problem. Goodbye.
W-Wait!
When the surrounding police officers saw that Chen Yu was about to leave, they hurriedly stepped forward and called out to him while dispersing the crowd.
Do you have business with me? Tilting his head, Chen Yu asked, Do you want me to compensate for the damages?
No. The old police officer standing in the lead shook his head. He then said solemnly, Mr. Chen, man I
You havent passed the security check yet! The young police officer beside interrupted.
Shut up! The old police officer kicked his colleague aside. He then smiled fawningly at Chen Yu and asked, May I know if you have some time? I just received a call stating that a leader wishes to invite you for a conversation.
You think Ill go just because you want me to? If I do that, wont I lose my reputation? Chen Yu shrugged. He refused to take part in those troublesome matters even if it killed him.
Its our
Squeak
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Chen Yu closed the hatch and shouted through the spacecrafts intercom system, Everyone move 150 meters away from the spacecraft. Youll be injured by the high air pressure otherwise. I repeat: Move 150 meters away from the spacecraft
Outside the spacecraft, the old officer opened and closed his mouth several times before helplessly instructing his colleagues and the spectating crowd to retreat.
Boom!
The next moment, the beautifully-shaped spacecraft rose into the sky before transforming into a fireball that illuminated the night sky once more.
Miss Zhang!
Hello, Miss Zhang. We are reporters from the Chaoyang Morning Post.
Hello, we are from CCTV-3
After the spacecraft disappeared, droves of reporters flooded forward and fought to aim their weapons at Crooked Cart.
May I know if you are accepting any interviews now?
What is your impression of Transdimensionals UP after coming into close contact with him?
Miss Zhang, I heard you are studying at the China University of Technology, right?
What thoughts do you have as one of the 20 lucky winners?
Can you give us a closer look at the souvenir in your hands? Do you have any thoughts about donating it? The reward our country is offering now has already risen from 500 to 800
In such a high-profile manner, Chen Yu finished dropping off nine out of ten of the bullet comment groups members.
From Guizhou to Beijing, and from Tokyo to Los Angeles. He had practically made a circle around the world.
As to why Chen Yu had done such a flashy send-off, it was because the information ban on him had already thoroughly lost effect. There was no longer any meaning in concealing himself. And with more than 170 million people spreading information on him, by the time the next official livestream came about, everyone in the world who should know about him wouldve found out about him already.
Last one; Azure Flag.
After commanding the spacecraft to rise to the thermosphere, Chen Yu looked to Xing Biqi and knowingly asked, Wheres your house?
Jinzhou City Xing Biqi answered hesitantly.
Okay. Although Chen Yu knew that the business district Xing Biqi designated was far away from her home address, he did not plan on exposing her. Immediately, he flew the spacecraft toward Jinzhou City.
Four minutes later, the spacecraft arrived at its destination.
After waiting for the spacecraft to finish its descent, Xing Biqi walked up to the opened hatch and stopped, her feet not moving onto the staircase even after some time had passed.
Whats wrong? Chen Yu asked.
I-I cant catch the gift. Please give it to me now.
Chen Yu:
Thank you. Xing Biqi bowed slightly after accepting the souvenir. She then carefully stepped off the spacecraft while holding onto the staircases handrails.
After taking a long look at Xing Biqis back, Chen Yu closed the hatch and had the spacecraft rise into the air.
Next will be the donation group members. Its almost 10 PM now, so lets speed things up. Well start with you first, Mr. Ma.
You can set us down at Shanghai, Jack Ma said. He then pulled out a business card and handed it to Chen Yu, asking, May I know if I can befriend you, Mr. Chen?
No problem. Accepting the business card, Chen Yu said, I know you have a lot of things you wish to talk to me about. Well chat privately afterward.
Okay, it is a great honor.
Ah Theyre finally gone.
At 10:11 PM Beijing time, Chen Yu dropped off the NASA astronauts, who were also the last group of people to leave. Ignoring the various invites the American people sent him, he promptly flew the spacecraft back to the Pacific Oceans Equator.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu arrived back at the Super Floating Castle and landed the Type-R Spacecraft in the Forbidden Forests airport without disturbing any of the Academys students or teachers. After picking up the heavy storage unit, he left the spacecraft and flew to the floating islands edge.
Underneath the island was a brightly lit city located in the middle of an ocean.
Not bad. Its starting to have a civilized aura now.
Good evening, Lord Headmaster. At this time, Hermione suddenly appeared behind Chen Yu. Long time no see.
Mhm, long time no see. The school is on track now, and the review product this time is a big one, so I didnt have any opportunities to come here. Turning around, Chen Yu scrutinized Hermione briefly before asking, How are things here? Are there any problems with the Academys operation?
There are no problems. We have produced many scientific research results, and most of them can be directly applied to existing fields. According to the professors prediction, human technology will gain at least a ten-year leap within the following year. Currently, the only limiting factor is productivity.
Good. Well be recruiting a new batch of students soon, right? Has the list been drafted yet?
Its done. It only needs your stamp of approval now, Lord Headmaster.
Okay. Ill come to deal with it in a few days. For now, goodbye.
Please wait a moment, Hermione said as she stretched out her hand to stop Chen Yu.
What is it?
I did not come here to report about the Academys situation to you. Expressionlessly, Hermione said, I am mainly here because some problems have recently appeared in the Academys security system.
Problems with security? Chen Yu frowned.
Yes. Hermione nodded. She then pointed up at the sky and said, Recently, there have been drones flying above the island. Based on my analysis, they are drones with offensive capabilities.
Which country do they belong to? Didnt I say this place is a no-fly zone? Whos so bold as to pull such a stunt?
They do not belong to any countrys government.
Shoot them down the next time you see them.
They are at too high of an altitude. Moreover Dragging on her voice, Hermione said, Based on the analysis of Professor Lu of the Department of Aviation, those drones technological content is at least 25 years ahead of modern standards.
Youarent joking, right? Chen Yus complexion changed slightly, his eyes narrowing.
You know I am incapable of doing so.
Understood.
After remaining silent for a long time, Chen Yu waved his hand, spurred the plasma engine, and flew toward the Middle East.
Technology that is at least 25 years ahead?
Also, why do I keep getting the feeling as if I forgot something
Mr. Chen! You forgot me!
Inside the Type-R Spacecraft, Little Peach shouted hoarsely, You forgot about me

Creak
After unlocking the security door and opening it, Chen Yu stumbled his way into his homes living room and made his way to the bedroom.
Click.
Suddenly, the living lights turned on, and Chen Yikes figure appeared behind him.
Crap, are you trying to scare me?
Where did you go? Chen Yike asked, her arms akimbo and her face expressionless.
Cough. I went to a classmates house for some fun. Clearing his throat, Chen Yu closed the opened door and scrutinized Chen Yike. Its late. Why arent you asleep yet? Do you have business with me?
Oh? You know its late? Suddenly leaning forward, Chen Yike sniffed around Chen Yus shoulders and asked, Which classmate did you visit? Is it Xing Biqi? You have her scent on you.
At Chen Yikes words, Chen Yu immediately understood that this was a trap laid by the other party. So long as he responded affirmatively, Chen Yike would definitely toss out evidence showing Xing Biqis absence from her home.
Its a classmate from elementary school. What about it? Anyway, do you have business with me or not? Im going to sleep if not.
Brother
Walking into the kitchen, Chen Yu poured himself a glass of water. And while drinking the water, he asked vaguely, What?
Am I no longer attractive to you?
??
Why? Turning away, Chen Yike pulled out a bottle of Tiger Balm[1] and rubbed some under her eyelids. She then asked, Why must you leave your little sister to die at home alone?
???
Why? Uu Turning back to Chen Yu, Chen Yike revealed two streaks of tears flowing down her cheeks.
Setting down his glass, Chen Yu scratched his head and asked, Why cant you open your eyes?
I-Its because I cried It hurts.
Your eyes swelled up after a second of crying? How amazing.
Wahh!! This time, Chen Yike started crying for real. She then ran to the kitchen sink, opened the tap, and rinsed her eyes. T-The internet lied
Alright, you continue having fun yourself. If you dont have anything to say, Im going to bed.
Dont go! Are you still going to twist the truth even until now? After wiping the water stains off her face, Chen Yike pounced onto Chen Yus back and held onto him tightly. Youre Transdimensionals UP, right?! Dont deny it! Apart from you, who could possibly bring Xing Biqi to outer space?!
Are you kidding me? Im Transdimensionals UP? If I have that kind of ability, why would I continue living in this broken-down place? I wouldve long since risen to the sky. Is your head alright?
How did Xing Biqi get chosen, then? Thats a one out of 160 million chance. Do you think this is a coincidence?
It is a coincidence! Righteously, Chen Yu said, Ive watched the livestream as well. Who knew she would be so lucky? Grow some brains, will you? If Im the UP, will I choose someone close to me and risk exposing my identity? Am I that stupid?
You are stupid!
Fuck!
See! Your behavior when swearing is just like that UP! Hugging Chen Yu even more tightly than before, Chen Yike shouted, Ive watched you since young! You cant trick me!
Stop daydreaming, OK? Ill tell you now that Im not Transdimensionals UP. Our conversation ends here. Let go.
Kekeke! Sneering, Chen Yike asked, My dear Elder Brother, if it really isnt you, with your personality, you wouldve instead acknowledged my claims immediately to receive my worship, right?
Chen Yu:
What else do you have to say for yourself? Despite there being such a good opportunity to show off, why wont you acknowledge it?
Let go. If you have the ability, bring out solid proof. Otherwise, all youre doing is spouting nonsense.
How am I spouting nonsense?
How are you not spouting nonsense, then?
How am I spouting non
Big Brother Woken up by the noise, Chen Erke suddenly walked into the kitchen in a daze. Blinking her eyes at her two elder siblings, she asked, Are you twoplaying the looping game Mommy and Daddy usually play as well?
Crap.
Scratching his head in irritation, Chen Yu pulled out the Amnesia Bat and inflated it. He then smacked Chen Yike and Chen Erke unconscious without hesitation.
Chen Yu, what are you doing so late at ni
Thud!
Chen Yu knocked Mother Chen, who had walked out of her room, unconscious as well
Good night.
After placing his family members back to their original positions, Chen Yu returned to his own room and sat on his bed. Immediately afterward, he felt a headache assaulting him.
The reason why he was concealing his identity to his family was simple. It was so that he could retain his familys original lifestyle.
Not to mention, the more people who knew of his identity, the greater the risk of him being exposed. He did not wish for holes to appear in his perfect concealment.
He must come out on top in his struggle against the worlds top governments.
This was a game belonging to the wise. Ordinary people would find it difficult to comprehend and experience.
Chen Yu grabbed his phone sitting on his bed and turned off its airplane mode after yawning lazily. Immediately afterward, a bunch of notifications flooded his phone.
Out of all the notifications he received, 80% consisted of WeChat messages and call attempts from Xing Biqi.
The remaining 20% were from Chen Yikes phone.
Opening up his WeChat conversation with Xing Biqi, he quickly glanced through the various messages she sent him. After hesitating for a moment, he chose not to send her a reply.
If he replied now, the timing would be too much of a coincidence.
Exiting WeChat, he entered his web browser and searched for the keywords Transdimensional Review. Sure enough, he found that information relating to him was no longer being blocked.
Aside from traditional media and official online media, practically every netizen had immersed themselves into discussing Transdimensional Review
This day came much sooner than I thought
Sitting up, Chen Yu grabbed the floating camera beside him and said, Little Peach, time to work. Edit todays livestream and upload it onto all the plat What the? Where is she?
Getting out of bed, Chen Yu took a look around his room. He then hurriedly approached the Interstellar Portal and connected it to the Forbidden Forests airport.
Buzz.
The spatial link was established quickly. Just as Chen Yu was about to step through the portal, he suddenly thought of something. He then hurriedly shut down the portal, left his bedroom, and grabbed two cups of tap water and two heads of garlic. He then tossed both ingredients into the Automatic Cooking Pot and chose to make a popsicle.
Ding!
One minute later, the pots lid opened. After grabbing the popsicle and storing it, Chen Yu ran back to his room, reestablished a spatial link, and made his way to the Type-R Spacecraft.
Thud!
Unlocking the door to Little Peachs exclusive room, Chen Yu kicked open the metal door and said, Hello, have I made you wait?
M-Mr. Chen Crouching pitifully in a corner, Little Peach said, I-I thought you forgot about me
Are you stupid? Stepping forward, Chen Yu handed the popsicle he held over to Little Peach and said, Even if I forget someone, how can it possibly be you? Dont you know how important you are to me? What will I do without you? Here, take it. I deliberately went to Antarctica to get this.
Mr. Chen Little Peach accepted the popsicle with teary eyes. You really treat me well.
Of course. Rubbing Little Peachs head, Chen Yu smiled and said, You are my artificial intelligence. If I dont treat you well, who would treat you well?
Mhm. Nodding heavily, Little Peach licked the popsicle in happiness and said, Its sweet.
Good girl. Eat it slowly if you like it. The popsicle will turn into liquid once its melted, so you can digest it.
Okay! Huh? Doesnt this cup look like the one we have at home?
Dont mind the details and savor it properly. Little Peach, I really didnt have a choice in todays matter. Who knew I wouldve selected Xing Biqi? For the sake of keeping our identities a secret, I had no choice but to trouble you to stay locked up in your room.
I understand. Its fine.
Good girl.
Mr. Chen, Im so happy.
Me too
After returning home, Chen Yu laid on his bed. However, when he saw Little Peach quietly going to work, he couldnt help but feel a little guilty.
Hence, he turned around and chose not to look at her.
Lets check todays livestream profits instead.
Swiping his hand across his watch, he clicked on the Profile icon.
[Total points: 19,565]
Awesome! I can definitely get something good tonight!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Yu wiggled his finger once more.

The Adhesive Board is made specifically to capture humans. The selling price is 1,500 points.]
Heh, I knew this was going to happen.
Chen Yu sneered and looked at the product in contempt. His mood unaffected, he purchased only one unit for the Transdimensional Academys research before moving on to the second product.
[2. Cuckold Lock: Produced by the Nothing-To-Do Company in 3756. The locks main body is a superconducting high-pressure carbon sulfide block, which is 4,800 times stronger than the standard carbon sulfide block and 192,000 times stronger than diamond.

When the insertion of other keys is detected, the processor will immediately trigger the lock, causing the locking pins to return to their original positions. The lock will then execute a clockwise rotation, thoroughly opening the lock. The selling price is 4,200 points.]
Beautifully done.
Setting aside this products practicality, the inherent functions this product possessed would be excellent for scientific research. However, considering that the product had an expensive price tag of 4,200 points, Chen Yu decided to shelve it first and continued scrolling down.
[3. Rhythm Virus: Released by the Durex Company in 4589. This product is a neurotoxin with highly contagious EEG signals. After the user is poisoned, they will infect and assimilate all humans that come into contact with them. Meanwhile, all infected humans will be in sync with the users movements.

Infected humans will also follow closely behind the user. The selling price is 3,550 points.]
After a long silence, Chen Yu stood up, walked out of his bedroom, and went to the bathroom to wash his head.
Dammit. Are my thoughts really so abnormal?
Five minutes later, Chen Yu felt that his brain was hydrated again. After wiping his hair dry, he returned to his room, raised his watch, and took a deep breath.
Next!
[4. RC Belt: Produced by the Meizu Company in 3944. The patent for the RC Belt was registered by the well-known entrepreneur Huang Zhang in the early 21st century. Its sales officially began in 3948.

If the belt is lowered past the waist when the automatic locking system is activated, it will self-destruct. The selling price is 3,700 points.]
Smack.
Holding his forehead in agony, Chen Yu muttered, Its the fourth one already. Stop messing around, alright?
Also
Picking up his phone, he searched for information on Huang Zhang, the founder of Meizu, and bellowed, Why did you register such a stupid patent?!
M-Mr. Chen, what happened? Little Peach asked, startled.
Its nothing. Continue with what you were doing.
Tossing his phone aside, Chen Yu slapped his cheeks hard and raised his watch. Stay calm
Think of advanced technology
My world is filled with advanced technology
Ha!
[5. Memory Storage Module: Produced by the Blue Sky Groups Brain Technology Research Center in 5205.

The Memory Storage Module is mainly used in interstellar colonization, psychotherapy, criminal transformation, civil protection, civilization expansion, immigration, etc. The selling price is 12,000 points.]
Amazing!!
Upon seeing this product, Chen Yu immediately jumped into the air with his hands raised. An SSR! An SSR item is here!
The pleasure of hitting the jackpot instantly swept through his body. Immediately afterward, he purchased the Memory Storage Module without hesitation.
Those four products before mustve been a build-up for this, right?

The next moment, a wormhole opened up in the middle of the room, and a white, rectangular box the size of a domestic air-conditioner fell out of it.
Thud.
The product landed on the floor, causing some fine dust to rise into the air.
Awesome, awesome
After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu took two steps forward and tore off the boxs seal. He then pulled out a rectangular product from within.
This After weighing the product in his hands, Chen Yu scrutinized it for a moment before saying, This thing looks a little like an Xbox Series X gaming console
Boom.
Placing the product on the ground, Chen Yu clicked on the power button. A green, holographic interface appeared above the product immediately, the green glow it gave off adding an air of springtime to the room.
[Do you wish to enter the tutorial mode?]
[Yes/No]
After circling around the Memory Storage Module once, Chen Yu poked his finger through the green projection, only to find that it did not have a physical touch. Evidently, this products interaction aspect was on the low-end of the spectrum among the technological products available in the year 5205.
To use a crude analogy, it would be akin to the latest smartphone coming equipped with an antenna of a brick phone.
Mr. Chen, did you buy something fun again?
While reaching out and clicking the Yes option, Chen Yu turned to look at Little Peach and said, Its not a toy. Also, are you done with the video editing?
I have already uploaded the edited video onto all platforms that allow video playbacks. They will be released to the public at 9 AM tomorrow. However, most livestreaming platforms are small platforms and do not have video playback functions.
It doesnt matter. At our current level, people will find our videos even if we dont advertise them. Oh, by the way, is your memory digitized?
What does that mean?
Its similar to the data stored in a computers hard disk. The type thats synthesized by 1s and 0s.
No. Tapping on her head, Little Peach said, My memory is a substantive model composed of impulse signals. I can make factual judgments through autonomous learning.
Impulse signal? Confused, Chen Yu asked, Whats the theory behind that?
I dont know.
You dont even know the things inside your body?
Uu Blinking her eyes, Little Peach asked, Is your memory digitized?
How can that be? My memories are stored in nerve cells.
Why are they stored in nerve cells? Whats the theory behind that?
Chen Yu:
You dont even know the things inside your body? Little Peach parrotted, her arms akimbo.
Scram!
Chen Yu fumed.

Shes here!
Xing Biqi is here.
Target A has arrived. All units pay attention.
Everyone, remain hidden.
No. 2 from Team 3! Your shoulders are sticking out of Area C!
Roger that
Accompanied by a series of radio waves sent through encrypted channels, a set of lights lit up at the end of the dark street as a taxi stopped at the intersection.
Click Bang.
After paying the taxi fare, Xing Biqi got off the car and said, Thank you.
Instead of responding verbally, the taxi driver waved his hand and drove off.
Meanwhile, the girl tightened her grip over the leather bag in her left hand while squeezing the souvenir she got from the interactive livestream in her right hand before hurriedly making her way towards her home. However, as soon as she walked into the alley, she came across someone blocking her way.
It was a cloudy night tonight, and the clouds thoroughly prevented the moonlight from reaching the alley. Hence, the alley which lacked street lights was frighteningly dark
Uu
Xing Biqi hurriedly halted her footsteps, anxiety welling up within her. She then opened her eyes and stared at the figure, asking, W-Who is it?
The figure began approaching her step by step.
The girls breathing gradually quickened, and she started backing out of the alley.
Come here! the figure shouted. Where did you go so late at night?!
Hearing these words, Xing Biqi couldnt help but be taken aback momentarily. She then breathed out a sigh of relief and muttered, G-Grandpa? You scared me.
As the figure walked out of the dark alley, the street lights outside shone on the figures face, revealing the anxious and angry expression of an angry old man. Qiqi, dont you know how late it is already? You didnt even pick up your phone all this time! Your grandma and I wouldve called the police had you returned any later!
I-I joined a program. You dont need to worry, the girl said as she hopped forward and hugged the old mans arm. Grandpa, you really are the best. You even came to the alley entrance to wait for me. But couldnt you have brought a flashlight with you? You nearly scared me to death just now.
You still know how to be afraid? Flicking Xing Biqi on her forehead, the old man said, Do you know how dangerous it is for a girl to walk alone at night? Youve been behaving more and more outrageous lately.
I already said I went to take part in a program, Xing Biqi said as she put on a coquettish act.
What program? Will you be on TV?
Lets go home first. Ill tell you once were home.
Xing Biqi knew that she wouldnt be able to conceal the fact that she had participated in Transdimensional Reviews interactive livestream from her grandparents. Setting aside the neighbors in the neighborhood, just the reporters who would soon swarm her would instantly expose her. Hence, instead of hiding, it was much better for her to tell the truth. Not to mention, she had never been good at lying since she was a child.
Target A and Target B have arrived in Area B.
Roger that.
After briefly communicating with each other through radio communication, the special agents and police officers hidden around the alley silently watched Xing Biqi disappear from their sight.
Hu We can finally relax.
Inside the temporary headquarters set up inside the house next door to Xing Biqis home, the surveillance teams deputy captain took off his headset and leaned on his chair in exhaustion. Captain, is there really a need to monitor every participant that took part in Transdimensional Reviews livestream? Arent we making a big fuss by stationing so many people here?
Mhm. The captain, a robust man, grunted in affirmation and said nothing more.
Among the team stationed tasked to monitor Xing Biqi, only he and the logistics captain knew the real importance of Xing Biqi.
As for the teams sent to protect the other interactive event members, they were mostly used as a cover to avoid making Xing Biqi stand out.
What a lucky girl. The deputy captain got up from his seat and stretched his waist. He then took a sip of coffee and said, Not only did she get to travel around Alpha Centauri, but she also received a priceless souvenir. I shouldve sent in a bullet comment to try my luck as well back then.
Haha, Brother Zhao, with those unlucky hands of yours, you better save your internet data, a female team member said, laughing.
The other people inside the temporary headquarters also began chuckling immediately.
Everyone, stay sharp, the captain said, indifferently interrupting everyones merrymaking. Now is the busiest time of our work. Look at Screen 4.
Everyone promptly turned their heads at the captains words. Immediately, they saw the sight of three people sneakily entering the alleyway displayed on Screen 4.
Those are
Theyre probably the paparazzi. They might also be thieves, the captain said. Picking up the intercom on the table, he said, Team 2, three people with unidentified goals have entered. Stop them. I repeat: three people with unidentified goals have entered. Detain all of them. You are allowed to take coercive measures if you face resistance.
Team 2, roger.
Setting down the intercom, the captain looked at the people around him and said, Do you see that? This is our real job.
Captain, do we have to stop reporters as well?
Duh.
Damn Sighing, the deputy captain mumbled, Its going to be a long night
It was currently midnight already, yet Xing Biqi still hadnt fallen asleep despite lying on her bed.
Picking up her phone, she looked at her chat room with Chen Yu, a hesitant expression appearing on her face.
She had sent many messages to Chen Yu today, yet the other party hadnt responded to her even until now. She couldnt help but grow a little worried in this situation.
She thought to make a call, yet she was also afraid she would disturb Chen Yus rest if she called so late at night.
After staring idly at her phone for some time, she set it aside and pulled out the souvenir she received from the livestream from under her pillow. She then read the words engraved on it.
TransdimensionalReview
This was a rock that came from four light-years away.
Setting aside the fact that it came from Transdimensionals UPs hands, just the fact that it was a rock that originated from outer space already made it incredibly valuable.
Transdimensional
Squeezing the rock, Xing Biqi couldnt help but recall the bits of interaction she had with Transdimensionals UP. She couldnt help but feel a sense of familiarity when interacting with the other party.
Maybe its because I watched too many of his videos.
After remaining in a daze for a while, the girl picked up her phone once more and searched for news related to Transdimensional Review on her web browser.
Sure enough, almost every corner of the internet had been occupied with news of Transdimensional Review.
In fact, even after reaching midnight, new posts were still being made one after another.
At this point, Transdimensional Reviews existence had thoroughly been disclosed to the public. Although the mainstream media still remained silent on the topic, the various independent medias headlines were incredibly eye-catching.
[This is the truth of the world!]
[Where does Transdimensionals UP come from?]
[Beware of the devils trap.]
[UPs true identity exposed! He is actually the ace of a host club?]
[Shocking! He is the worlds true ruler?]
[How much time is left until humanitys annihilation?]
[Are you ready? Its time to welcome a new world!]
[Over seven billion peoples worldview collapses. Everything you need to see is here.]
[Selling the same underwear Transdimensionals UP uses. Click here to purchase]
It feels like a dream.
Pursing her lips, Xing Biqi read the various news articles in silence. Sometime later, as if having thought of something, she quickly exited her web browser and entered her Weibo application.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding! Ding
Message prompts appeared one after another, the massive number nearly causing her phone to crash.
Only after half a minute had passed did the series of message prompts stop.
Xing Biqi then tapped into her personal profile with a trembling finger. And when she saw the seven digits displayed under the Follower section, she couldnt help but grow dizzy.
Over 7.5 million followers Heavens
Private Message 999+
@999+
System Prompt 99+
She had thoroughly become famous now.
Now that Transdimensional Reviews tenth official livestream had become the hottest topic in the country, she also became one of the countrys most famous celebrities.
As for the person who was even more popular than her, it was naturally that crossdresser
He had truly become famous throughout the country.
Ring, ring
At this time, her phone suddenly rang, causing her to recover from her daze. She then subconsciously accepted the call and said, Hello?
Hello. You are Miss Xing Biqi, right?
Yes, I am. You are Xing Biqi said timidly.
When Xing Biqi heard the other partys response, her eyes widened, and her nerves tensed up immediately

Chapter 336 C Popularity Explodes (2)
Hello. You are Miss Xing Biqi, right?
Yes, I am. You are
I am Jack Ma.
The familiar voice of a man came from the phone.
M-Mr. Ma? Xing Biqis eyes widened, and her nerves tensed up immediately.
Yes, its me. Im sorry, but I looked up your contact information through your registered information on Weibo. The reason why Im calling you so late at night is because I have something to talk to you about. May I know if you have time to spare right now, Miss Xing?
Sitting up on her bed, the girl held her phone and remained silent for a moment. She then nodded and said, You wish to buy the souvenir I received, right?
Yes, Jack Ma answered calmly. You are very smart. In that case, Ill be straightforward. May I know how much it would cost for you to willingly part with the souvenir Transdimensionals UP gave you?
Did you contact all of the livestream participants this time?
You are the second one, Miss Xing.
Im sorry. Although neither side could see each other through the phone line, Xing Biqi still smiled and bowed as she apologized. The souvenir Mr. UP gave me means a lot to me. I do not wish to sell it, so I hope you can forgive me.
In exchange for a rock with only memorial value, you can gain a large amount of wealth that can change your quality of life. Im sure that with your intelligence, you should know which is the more rational choice, Miss Xing.
Thank you. In a very firm tone, Xing Biqi said, I really dont wish to sell it. Mr. Ma, please ask the others instead.
No need to rush in making a decision. We can meet and talk about the details.
That wont be necessary for the time being. It has been an honor talking to you. Goodbye, Mr. Ma.
After saying so, the girl disconnected the call and turned on the airplane mode decisively.
Putting down the phone, Xing Biqi laid back on her bed and played around with the rock in her hand. She then stored it under her pillow, turned off the lights, and shut her eyes.
However, even after tossing and turning around the bed for half an hour, she still couldnt fall asleep.
For an ordinary person like herself, everything that had happened today simply felt like a dream.
If
It wouldve been great if Chen Yu had been there too
The next day, Lanhe District, Chen familys abode:
Buzz
Chen Yu woke up at the sudden buzzing of his phone.
After sitting up and looking around in a daze, he grabbed his phone, connected the call, and placed his phone by his ear. Hello? Who is it?
Chen Yu, you finally picked up! Where did you go yesterday?
Oh, Xing Biqi? Sitting up, Chen Yu rubbed his eyes and answered, I went out for some fun yesterday and left my phone at home. Whats the matter? You have some business with me?
I-I was just a little worried.
Your place seems quite noisy.
Ah A little bit.
The two teenagers remained silent on the phone for half a minute.
Unable to stand the silence any longer, Xing Biqi asked, Do you know where I went yesterday?
No. What happened?
Did you not watch Transdimensional Reviews livestream yesterday?
Nope.
Watch the edited video first, then youll know. But dont feel regret afterward.
Whats there to regret?
Youll know once you watch it. Ill hang up first. Im slightly busy here. Ill give you a call afterward
Disconnecting the call, Chen Yu stretched his waist lazily and looked at the time displayed on his phone. Its already ten oclock?
Mhm, its ten oclock. Good morning, Mr. Chen. Jumping off her chair, Little Peach pouted, Did that human female call you?
Mhm. Changing the subject, Chen Yu asked, Has the edited clip been released?
Theyre available to the public now. The view count is rising very quickly as well.
Getting out of bed, Chen Yu yawned and changed into a fresh set of clothing. While changing, he asked, How quickly?
After the video got released, it garnered over 34 million views on Bilibilis platform alone. Thats already three times more than before.
Chen Yu froze slightly. Turning to look at Little Peach, he asked, An hour? Thirty-four million views?
Mhm. Little Peach nodded. If we include DouYu, TikTok, Kuaishou, Youtube, and other platforms, the total view count is already close to reaching 900 million.
There are bound to be many repeat viewers among them.
Yes, but even after excluding repeat viewers, the number of netizens that have watched the video worldwide within the past hour is no less than 300 million. Moreover, once the evening peak arrives, there will be another surge of viewers.
After Chen Yu was done changing, he made his way to the bathroom to wash up. He then returned to his room and browsed the news through his phone.
Unlike last night, a portion of the mainstream media had also stopped remaining silent. Meanwhile, every one of these mainstream media outlets had their headlines focused on a single topicCTransdimensional Review.
[The world has changed after I woke up.]
[Why am I always the last one to find out about these changes?]
[This is amazing! I stayed up all night to watch all the previous edited videos!]
[Can the various nations governments give an explanation on this?]
[Im a native of Shanghai, yet I never knew that there was a maglev subway right outside my doorstep]
[I want to watch the livestream! I want to watch the livestream!]
[Everyone, calm down. Listen to me. All of this is a dream.]
[One of the interactive event participants sold their souvenir for 37 million last night]
As Chen Yu read through the forum posts and comments about himself, he couldnt help but have complicated feelings.
While he felt satisfaction from gaining widespread fame, recognition, and influence over human society, he also couldnt help but worry about the difficulty of his future promotions
I really have to take things one step at a time.
Exiting the web browser, he entered his WeChat application. After pondering for a moment, he quickly typed a series of messages to Xing Biqi.
[Chen Yu: Crap! Crap!]
[Chen Yu: You were actually chosen?! What kind of luck is that?!]
[Chen Yu: Awesome! Youre treating me to a meal today! This is too awesome!]
[Xing Biqi: Sure. Hehe, Ill treat you tonight. (Blush)]
[Chen Yu: You were trying to look for me yesterday, right? Goddamn, I missed the opportunity of a lifetime.]
[Xing Biqi: Who told you not to bring your phone? Its too late for regrets now.]
[Chen Yu: I want to die. I feel so terrible.]
[Xing Biqi: What nonsense are you saying?! I took a lot of photos and videos. We can look at them together after Im done with school.]
[Chen Yu: Lets watch them together!]
[Xing Biqi: I also have a present for you! I still have to pay attention to class. Ill talk to you later. ?~]
Is it that souvenir?
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu scratched the back of his ear and muttered, Why would I need that junk? She might as well sell it
Mr. Chen. Her eyes lighting up with a red glow, Little Peach asked, Are you going to mate with that female tonight?
What nonsense are you spouting?!
I think she might cause you to expose yourself.
What?
Tear!
Instantly tearing apart her clothing, Little Peach said, Trust me, Im specialized in the field.
Wheres my lightsaber?
You left it on Proxima Centauri b.
Two minutes and twenty-five seconds later, Chen Yu and Little Peach appeared at the Forbidden Forests airport, neatly dressed.
Mr. Chen, where are we going?
Were going to send a delivery to our fans, Chen Yu answered as he walked up the staircase and entered the Type-R Spacecraft. After putting on his opera mask, he turned around and shouted, Can you not move so slowly?
Mr. Chen Pursing her lips, Little Peach said, Youre the one whos too quick.

When Chen Yu appeared above Wuhan City in the Type-R Spacecraft, the whole city went into an uproar.
Numerous people rushed out to the streets with phones and cameras in hand as they eagerly awaited Transdimensionals UP to make his first official appearance in public.
So, this is my country No, I cant say that. Inside the spacecraft, Chen Yu had his arms wrapped around his chest as he said, I should say that these people are my compatriots
Your compatriots have started fighting each other, Little Peach said as she pointed under her feet.
Hearing this, Chen Yu looked down and saw that a team of security guards and police officers were chasing away citizens and reporters from the area on the lawn of the central plaza. Pushing and shoving also occurred in the more densely packed areas.
With a mental command, Chen Yu turned on the spacecrafts intercom system and shouted, For everyones safety, please step aside. Maintain a minimum distance of 300 meters from the spacecraft to avoid getting injured from the high air pressure.
Om!
After Chen Yu said so, a gentle and invisible ripple spread out from the spacecraft. Immediately, everyone on the plaza floated into the air and was pushed several hundred meters away.
Ohhh!
Upon seeing this godly scene, the distant crowd immediately cheered out in excitement.
Boom!!
Shortly afterward, the dumbbell-shaped spacecraft landed on the now-empty lawn.
After putting on his protective suit, Chen Yu passed the suits storage compartment containing various space rocks to Little Peach and said, Take this and follow after me.
Youre only making a delivery. Is there a need to make such a huge commotion?
You wont understand even if I tell you. Youre not human; youll never understand the greatness of dopamine.
After saying so, Chen Yu draped a red cape over his shoulders, opened the cabin hatch, and walked out of the spacecraft with his chest puffed up. Mimicking the posture of government leaders attending visits, he stood at the top of the staircase, stretched out his right hand, and waved gently. Greetings, comrades.
Click!
Click! Click!
Dazzling flashes instantly appeared all around the plaza.
Hello, everyone. I am Transdimensionals UP.
As Chen Yus voice spread from the spacecraft, the crowd outside the plaza immediately went into an uproar.
This feeling Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu clenched his fists and thought, Is wonderful!
However, immediately afterward, his sharp hearing allowed him to hear that most of the gathered crowd werent actually cheering for him
Quick, look! Its the female assistant!
What a body.
Shes wearing a princess dress today! How beautiful!
Female assistant! We love you!
Why is the UP wearing that stupid cape? Its blocking my view of the goddess.
I bet a kidney that the female assistant is the Final Boss!
Chen Yu:
Ahahaha. Her lips curving into a broad smile, Little Peach said, I think I understand what dopamine is now.
Keep your mouth shut. Were here on official business.
Removing his cape and tossing it back into the cabin, Chen Yu walked down the staircase and arrived before a middle-aged police officer. He then asked, Chief, wheres the nearest SF Express office?
The middle-aged officer:
Hey, tell me if you know it.
I-Its under Erxian Bridge, the officer said, gulping.
How do I get to Erxian Bridge?
Y-You can get there through Chenghua Avenue.
I think you better just tell me which direction it is in. Do I head left, or right?
Mr. Chen. After calming down his nerves, the officer suggested, H-How about we lead you there?
Sure. Chen Yu nodded, accepting the offer. Make it quick. Im in a rush for time.
Okay! This way, Mr. Chen! The middle-aged officer stepped aside and allowed Chen Yu and Little Peach to walk in front of him. He then pulled out a walkie-talkie and shouted, Team 2, get over here to maintain order! Also, bring that car over! Notify the chief of this, too.
As Chen Yu approached the edge of the police cordon, the scene grew chaotic once more as hundreds of journalists and citizens pushed their way forward while yelling frantically.
Mr. UP, are you really surnamed Chen?
Im from the Wuhan Metropolis Daily. Do you accept interviews?
Why did you come to Wuhan City?
UP! I love you!
UP, may I ask what product youll be reviewing next?
You previously stated that youll be reviewing a product of great danger in the livestream after the next, right?
Female assistant! Can we know what kind of person the UP is in your eyes?
He is Just as Little Peach had stopped walking and was about to respond to the question, Chen Yu promptly dragged her into the police vehicle prepared.
There wont be an end if you start answering their questions. After entering the police vehicle, Chen Yu looked around him and frowned, Youre not allowed to accept any interviews in the future without my permission.
Oh, okay. Little Peach nodded as she sat down and closed the door. As she looked at the bobbing heads outside the car, she exclaimed, Its so lively.
Heh. Leaning back against his seat, Chen Yu asked, Do you know what an international superstar is?
Beep! Beep!
The driver in the front seat honked the car horn twice. Immediately afterward, he stepped on the accelerator and followed after the dozen or so police vehicles that were opening up a path ahead of him.
Everyone, please step aside! Please make way!
A team of police officers hurriedly arrived at the scene at this time, every one of the officers holding onto a loudspeaker as they tried to disperse the crowd. This area has now been designated as a restricted area. Please exit the police cordon
Meanwhile, in a nearby location, the host of an independent media took several photos of the police escort and uploaded a news article online accompanied by a short messageNot good! Police have taken Transdimensionals UP away! Pictures and proof available!
G-Greetings, Mr. Chen.
Inside the car Chen Yu rode on, the middle-aged officer, who was seated in the front passenger seat, turned around and extended his hand nervously, I am the Deputy Chief of Wuhans Police Headquarters. Im surnamed Niu.
Hello, Deputy Chief You. Chen Yu shook hands with the other party.
Ah, this Its Niu!
Liu?
Niu! Its Niu, Mr. Chen!
I understand. Hello, Deputy Chief You.
Yes You My surname is You Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, the deputy chief said, Its an honor to meet you.
It is the same for me.
Mr. Chen, there is still some distance before we reach SF Expresss office. Are you free for a conversation?
Sure.
D-Did you come to Wuhan just to make a delivery?
Mhm. Pointing at the storage compartment Little Peach held in her arms, Chen Yu said, I promised to give my fans a gift yesterday.
Why did you choose Wuhan of all places?
It has a near-central position in the country, and it has roads leading to all directions. The audience will get to receive their gifts quicker that way.
Understood. Once youre done making your deliveries, do you have time to
I dont. Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, Dont invite me to anything. Im leaving as soon as Im done. Im a little tight for time, you see.
Oh, okay, okay. The deputy chief dared not continue speaking.
The car Chen Yu rode on throughout the journey had police vehicles opening the road ahead, blocking off the road behind, and flanking it on both sides. There were also police sirens blaring all around.
This allowed Chen Yu to experience the standard reception VIPs generally received.
However, this still wasnt the end of the security detail. When the convoy crossed Chenghua Avenue, black, armored police vehicles approached and surrounded the convoy even more tightly.
Ten minutes later, the convoy arrived at its destination.
Hurriedly getting off the car, the deputy chief opened the door to the back seat, bent over, and extended an arm, Mr. Chen, after you.
Thanks.
Miss, after you.
Thanks!
After stepping out of the police vehicle, Chen Yu immediately made his way to the SF Express branch before him. However, after taking just two steps, a group of government officials dressed in white shirts approached him enthusiastically.
Mr. Chen! Youre finally here!
Greetings, greetings!
Mr. Chen, I am the person in charge of Wuhan City. My name is
Tell me your names afterward, Chen Yu said, stopping the other party from introducing themselves. He then grabbed the storage compartment from Little Peach and said, For now, come over and help me make my deliveries.
The government officials:
What are you still standing there for? Frowning, Chen Yu shouted, Move!
Chapter 338 - New Beginning (1)
Chapter 338 C New Beginning (1)
Wuhan City, Erxian Bridge:
A busy scene was presented outside the SF Express office located under the Erxian Bridge.
Paper bags containing space rocks were packed into delivery boxes and stacked up into the office warehouse one after another as they were prepared to be sent to all over the world.
No. 653, ID Traveler Without Borders, address Xishan Province
No. 654, ID Guardian, address Xishan Province
Under the makeshift pergola set up outside the office, Chen Yu sat on a sofa with his legs crossed as he read the fan addresses displayed on his watch to Wuhan Citys government officials.
M-Mr. Chen After sealing another package, the person in charge of Wuhan City straightened his back and wiped the sweat off his face. While panting, he asked, W-Would you like to take a break first?
Thanks, but that wont be necessary. Taking a sip of freshly squeezed juice from the cup beside him, Chen Yu smacked his lips and said, Im not tired, so we can continue. We have a thousand deliveries to make. If we take a break here and there, when will we finish? No. 662, ID
Gulp.
The person in charge swallowed his grievances along with his saliva. He then bent down and continued packing the space rocks his assistant handed to him.
If youre not willing to work, you can leave.
No, no, no! Nothing of the sort! It is very meaningful to be able to participate in an event involving hundreds of millions of people, the person in charge said while waving his hands hurriedly.
What an excellent attitude! Giving the person in charge a thumbs up, Chen Yu said to Little Peach, Assistant, assign a few more rocks to this person here.
Understood!
Wuhans person in charge:
Picking up his juice and taking another sip, Chen Yu looked at the crowd of people working busily in front of him and felt a wave of dizziness and exhaustion assault him.
However, he had no way out of this situation. He had to do his best to fulfill the boastful promise he made. And as it wasnt realistic to send gifts to 1,000 fans via the Interstellar Portal and Type-R Spacecraft, his only other option was to rely on Chinas excellent logistics system.
No. 759, ID Story After The Rain
No. 847, ID Secret Hamburger
No. 973
No. 1,000! ID Daily Milk, address Unit 7, Beijing Information District.
After reading the last selected fans address, Chen Yu shook his sore wrist and stood up. He then scanned the audience and said, Thats everything. Thank you for your help, everyone. Well leave the rest to SF Express to handle. I hope you can safely deliver all 1,000 packages to their destinations.
Mr. Chen, please rest assured, the manager of the SF Express office said hurriedly. We will make sure every package is delivered straight to their recipients.
Okay. Ill leave it to you. After emptying the glass of juice, Chen Yu hooked his finger at Little Peach and asked, Hey, how many rocks do we have left?
Looking into the storage compartment, Little Peach answered, There are about a hundred pieces left. Theres also plenty of sand particles.
Hearing this, the eyes of Wuhans person in charge brightened immediately. The back pain he felt also disappeared instantly as he looked at Chen Yu eagerly.
Chen Yu also looked at the person in charge. Nodding, he said softly, We cant just throw the rest away. Since Wuhans government officials have contributed a lot today, lets
Ohhh! The government officials couldnt help but cheer.
Take it back to the Transdimensional Academy and let the professors conduct research on them, Chen Yu added.
Oh
The cheering stopped abruptly, and the government officials looked at each other with blank looks on their faces.
Taking the storage compartment from Little Peach and reconnecting it to his backplate, Chen Yu cleared his throat and said, There shouldnt be anything else we need to do here, so lets go. Ive already sent a message to the 1,000 winners, so if any one of them fails to receive their gift, Ill come for you.
The officials:
Wuhan is a beautiful city. Well come here again if we have another delivery to make in the future.
The officials:
Oh, right, the delivery fee. Patting the nonexistent pockets of his protective suit, Chen Yu turned to Little Peach and asked, Uh Did you bring any money?
Money? Blinking her eyes, Little Peach asked innocently, Whats money?
Whats money? This is a good question. Looking at Wuhans person in charge, Chen Yu asked, Can you explain it to her?
Cough, cough Wuhans person in charge covered his mouth as he coughed violently. He then bit his lip and said, M-Mr. Chen, you dont need to worry about the delivery fee. Leave it to us local authorities.
Wonderful! Giving the person in charge a thumbs up for the second time, Chen Yu said, Your bid was successful! I will definitely return when I have deliveries to make in the future!
Wuhan City will always w-welcome you
Thank you for your efforts. Bye-bye.
After saying so, Chen Yu picked up Little Peach and took to the skies, the trail of blue flames he left behind causing the reporters outside the cordoned area to start taking pictures frantically.
While waving his hand at the crowd, Chen Yu left without leaving behind a single rock
Whoosh
Boom!
A dozen seconds later, Chen Yu and Little Peach arrived back on the lawn of the central plaza like a shooting star.
When the armed police officers responsible for guarding the scene heard the noise, they couldnt help but be startled. Simultaneously, they turned around and raised their weapons. However, after discovering that the intruder was Chen Yu, everyone grew even more nervous.
G-Greetings, Transdimensionals UP. I am the captain of Wuhans First Police Force, a slightly chubby middle-aged man said as he rushed forward. While bowing to Chen Yu, he asked, Do you have any instructions for us?
No. Were going to board the spacecraft, so everyone should move further away to avoid getting injured.
This The captain hesitated to speak. However, after thinking for a moment, he ended up holding back his words. He then commanded his subordinates to withdraw from the area.
Wait a minute. Dont leave yet. Chen Yu suddenly stopped the captain.
Tensing up, the middle-aged captain stood at attention and said, Please speak.
Do you have any iron bars? Give me one.
Yes! Please wait for a moment.
Find a thin one. The type that can be used to engrave words.
Okay!
Shortly afterward, an officer carrying several dozen iron bars came running over while panting.
Accepting the iron bars from the officer, the captain then presented them to Chen Yu respectfully and asked, Will these be suitable?
Theyre all good.
Casually grabbing an iron bar, Chen Yu then pulled out a space rock from the storage compartment and engraved the following wordsTransdimensional Review.
Once you return, give this to the local authorities, Chen Yu said as he passed the engraved rock to the captain. A space rock with my signature on it should be worth a lot. Take it as remuneration for everyones hard work and compensation for the damaged lawn.
T-This is too valuable! While saying so, the captain pocketed the rock at supersonic speed.
Rumble
A minute later, the sky dimmed, and strong winds sprang up. Accompanied by an uncomfortable pressure, the Type-R Spacecraft gradually lifted off the ground.
Noticing this, the people gathered outside the plaza instantly grew excited.
Its taking off!
Look quickly!
Its so awesome!
So, this is a spaceship?
Old fellows in front of the screen, can you see humanitys first spaceship? If you like it, make sure to subscribe to my channel!
Crap, this youngster flew here in a kegel ball
Standing inside the spacecraft, Chen Yu removed his helmet as he stared down at the crowd gathered below with narrowed eyes, various thoughts floating through his mind.
I guess well have a new beginning from today onwards
Chapter 339 - New Beginning (2)
Chapter 339 C New Beginning (2)
The Type-R Spacecraft arrived at the Super Floating Castle and landed at the Forbidden Forest. After taking off his protective suit, Chen Yu promptly returned home together with Little Peach.
You stay at home. Im going out for a bit.
Where are you going?
Im going to go take a look at my school.
After saying so, Chen Yu put on a coat, picked up his backpack, and left his room.
He planned to go look for Xing Biqi. After all, he had dinner plans with her tonight
Boom!
Three seconds later, Little Peach heard the sound of the security door shutting from the bedroom. Immediately, she perked up her ears and conducted an ultrasonic scan.
This is great! Mr. Chens family isnt home!
Clapping her hands excitedly, Little Peach hopped to the living room and entered the bathroom. She then shouted at a corner, Hey! Come out! Were going to decide a winner once and for all today!
Whoosh.
The husky removed the Invisibility Cloak and revealed itself.
At this time, the husky could be seen wearing myopia glasses and smoking on a Chunghwa. It also held a book titled A Brief History of Time in its front paws The sight was an awkward one no matter how one looked at it.
Yo. Flicking the ash off of its cigarette, the husky looked at Little Peach through the top of its spectacles frame. Buen medioda. (Spanish: Good afternoon.)
You learned Spanish?
???! (Korean: Yes)
Korean, too? Little Peach was surprised.
Betul, (Indonesian: Yes) the husky said, inhaling deeply. It then spat out two smoke rings and continued, Woof, woof-woof-woof.
Amazing! W-What was the last language?
Dog language.
It means: What business do you have with me? After saying so, the husky flicked the half-finished Chunghwa away and asked, Im fed up with this low-quality cigarette. The more I smoke it, the worse it gets.
Im here to play landlord! Reaching into her skirt, Little Peach pulled out a deck of cards and said, I must win back my money today!
Where did you hide those cards, woof?
Dont worry about that! Lets hurry up and play!
Do you know what the Friedmann universe model is? the husky asked suddenly.
Friedmann? Scratching her head, Little Peach asked, Does he play landlord?
He is an astronomer. The so-called Friedmann universe model expresses that all the galaxies in the universe are moving directly away from each other. However, once the universe has expanded to its maximum size, it will begin contracting bit by bit, woof. Removing its glasses, the husky closed the book in its paws and said, Page 57 of Hawkings A Brief History of Time Chinese Edition has a description of this, woof. You should go give it a read.
What does this have to do with landlord?
Nothing. However, I think that you cannot continue staying uneducated. Nature, science, the universe, and technology are really amazing. They lure people in and trap them with endless temptations.
Dogs, Little Peach corrected.
Setting that aside, dont you have even the slightest bit of curiosity toward these unknowns?
No. I only want to play landlord.
As expected of artificial intelligence. The husky clicked its tongue. Youll never become a human being.
I wont become a dog, either.
Crap! Can you stop mentioning dogs?!
Arent you a dog? Little Peach asked, puzzled.
I feel that you are insulting dogs! Bah! No, I feel that youre insulting me! Woof.
Is there a difference?
Smack!
Tossing the A Brief History of Time aside angrily, the husky sat cross-legged and said, Come on! Ill make you go bankrupt today!
Dream on! Hurriedly taking a seat, Little Peach skillfully shuffled, cut, and flipped the cards. You draw first.
Youre cheating! I saw you hiding cards! Woof!
I did not.
You actually learned how to hide cards! I saw it! Woof!
Fine, then. You shuffle.
You know that I cant shuffle with my hands.
Paws.
Crap!
You actually resemble Mr. Chen more and more! Oh, I mean in the swearing aspect.
After exiting the elevator downstairs, Chen Yu made his way toward Sixth High.
Ever since he had received vacation permission from his form teacher, he had been absent from school for nearly half a month. Including his winter vacation, he was even close to forgetting what his school looked like.
Hence, while his identity still remained a secret, he decided to use this opportunity to experience the fun of school life.
Of course, he would only do so for one day
After passing by the kindergarten, grade school, and middle school where his three little sisters studied, Chen Yu arrived before Sixth Highs entrance. However, he couldnt help but be stunned when he arrived before his school.
At this time, the street outside his schools main entrance was crowded with journalists and social media influencers. The gathered crowd was so larger that even police officers had come to maintain order.
Did they discover my identity?! Chen Yu reacted in surprise instinctively. However, he quickly denied his conjecture. No, thats impossible. If my identity really got exposed, they wouldnt come to this place to find me. In that case Xing Biqi?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu walked up to the crowd and pushed at a person, Hey, make way.
Who is it? Stop pushing!
Are you stupid? Can you stop squeezing?
You guys are the one whos sick! Chen Yu bellowed. Im trying to go to school! Get out of the way!
Hearing the words go to school, the reporters at the outer edge of the crowd became stunned momentarily. They then turned around abruptly and slammed their microphones and mobile phones at Chen Yus head, face, neck, chest, and little brother at 5,000 times the speed of light
Hello! Are you a student from this school?
Do you know Xing Biqi?
Im from the Southern Economic News. Are you free for an interview? Youll be paid.
What kind of girl is Xing Biqi?
Are you Xing Biqis father? How did you nurture such an excellent
That girls father seems to be dead.
What does him being dead or alive matter to us? Are you new to the industry?
Aside from bringing benefits, Chen Yus improved hearing also made him less tolerant of noise. Gritting his teeth, he stepped back one time after another while doing his best to hold back his violent intentions. Crap! Who touched my thigh?!
Step aside! Everyone step aside!
At this time, a police officer hurriedly came over and separated the crowd. He then looked at Chen Yu and asked, Are you a student at this school?
Yes. Im from Class 2-2.
Okay, come here.
Under the officers protection, Chen Yu squeezed past the school entrance and walked into the reception office.
Are those reporters sick? Why are they surrounding the school? Chen Yu cursed while tidying his clothes.
Are you really a student of Sixth High? the officer manning the reception office asked while scrutinizing Chen Yu. Why are you so late for school?
I overslept.
You overslept the entire morning?
This is the norm for Sixth High. Students of other schools might oversleep for a few minutes, but Sixth Highs students do so in hours.
The police officers in the reception office exchanged looks with each other, their minds filled with retorts.
Give your form teacher a call and have them come to fetch you, then, the leading officer said as he picked up his notebook and made a record. You can see what the current situation is for yourself. Only students of Sixth High are allowed entry to the school now.
Sure. Chen Yu nodded. He then pulled out his phone and searched up his form teachers contact information. Just as he was about to make the call, he froze momentarily and said, Oh, right. My classs form teacher got replaced recently. I dont have the new form teachers number.
At Chen Yus words, the officers in the room promptly grew alert.
Im seriously telling the truth. I never tell lies, Chen Yu said, shrugging.
You say youre from Class 2-2, right?
Yes.
You dont have her number, but we do, the leading officer said as he took out his phone. After swiping his finger across his screen a few times, he initiated the call.
Beep
Beep
Hello? Who is it?
Teacher Zhang, I am a police officer stationed at the school gate. A child here says he is a student of your class and arrived late. Im calling to ask if there are any students late in your class.
Late? The new form teachers voice came from the other side of the phone. Im in class right now. Nobody is late.
Chen Yu:
Looking at Chen Yu, the leading officer asked, Do you have anything else to say?
Tell her my name is Chen Yu! Chen Yu!
Teacher Zhang, he says his name is Chen Yu.
My class doesnt have anyone named Chen Y. He must be a reporter. Beat him up. I still have a class to teach, so Im hanging up.
Okay. Sorry for the interruption.
After disconnecting the call, the leading officer silently took out his police baton.
Subsequently, the seven other officers in the room also pulled out their batons simultaneously.
Chen Yu:
Chapter 340 - Daily Life at School
Chapter 340 C Daily Life at School
Boom.
After jumping over the fence, Chen Yu laid in the snow and waited for the patrolling officers to pass by. The instant the officers were gone, he shot forward like lightning and disappeared from the area.
By the time he reappeared, he was already inside the east entrance of the teaching block.
If not for my thick skin, I wouldve definitely extorted your police station until you guys go bankrupt.
While rubbing his butt, which got struck by the police batons, Chen Yu made his way to the second floor and found that his class was currently in the midst of studying(sleeping). He then silently slipped into the classroom through the back door.
Hey, stupid, wheres your seat? Chen Yu tapped his knuckle on Li Liangs bald head after walking up to his own seat, generating two crisp knocking sounds.
Huh? Li Liang turned his head around fiercely at the transgression. However, when he saw that the offender was Chen Yu, he couldnt help but be greatly surprised. What the?! Chen Yu?!
It seems you became quite ambitious during the past half a month! Sending a slap at Li Liangs forehead, Chen Yu said, Speak softer. Also, get lost. Why are you sitting in my seat?
Hearing the commotion, Xing Biqi, seated in front of Li Liang, turned around to take a look. Upon discovering Chen Yu, she covered her mouth in surprise as she asked, Chen Yu? Why are you here?
To take a look at our classs celebrity. Unceremoniously squeezing Li Liang out of his seat, Chen Yu placed down his backpack and scrutinized Xing Biqi. Those reporters outside are behaving like flies that have just discovered feces. They wont leave no matter what.
C-Cant you use a different analogy?
Oh, right. I shouldnt describe them as flies. Correcting himself, Chen Yu said, Dung beetles love feces more.
Brother Chen, you Hesitantly, Li Liang asked, If you sit here, where will I sit?
Go back to your balcony.
T-The form teacher wont let me sit there.
Since when has she become so amazing? Sternly, Chen Yu said, The balcony has been your territory since ancient times. Youll abandon it just because she tells you to? Why not just pick a fight with her instead?
Rolling his eyes, Li Liang sneakily pointed behind Chen Yu.
Turning around, Chen Yu discovered that their form teacher was currently standing outside the classs back door
Uh Scratching the corner of his mouth, Chen Yu pointed at Li Liang and said, He wants to pick a fight with you, Teacher.
Bullshit!
See? He even wants to take a shit on your face.
You two The form teacher took a deep breath and did her best to calm herself. She then hooked her finger at Chen Yu, saying, Come with me.
Get going. The teachers calling for you.
You as well! Dammit! Li Liang cursed.
Chen Yu Worriedly, Xing Biqi said, Dont be at loggerheads with the teacher.
Be at loggerheads? Chen Yu frowned. It seems youve gotten quite good with words during this past half a month?
Xing Biqi: ???
You! Come with me now! The form teacher bellowed.
Shortly afterward, Chen Yu and Li Liang arrived at their form teachers office.
Upon entering the office, Li Liang stood in a corner obediently while Chen Yu sat on the sofa with a carefree attitude.
Stand up! Who told you to sit?!
Teacher, lets dispense with the pleasantries. Crossing his legs, Chen Yu said, I still need to go back to class and study.
You still have your studies in mind? Picking up a ruler from her office desk, the form teacher said, Have you done any self-studying since the school reopened until now?
Youre the one who gave me a vacation.
Do you think youre fooling an idiot?
Li Liang, shes cursing at you, Chen Yu said as he looked at Li Liang.
Li Liang:
Stop spouting nonsense with me! Smacking the ruler onto the sofa heavily, the form teacher said, You! Stand up!
Reluctantly standing up, Chen Yu complained, Youre browbeating me.
Youre the most defiant student Ive ever seen in my dozen years of teaching. I just took over the class recently, so I havent had the time to deal with you. Now that Im free, you What was your name again?
Chen Simei.[1]
Li Liang facepalmed.
Trembling with anger, the form teacher bellowed, Chen Yu! You best be honest with me!
See? Arent you just asking for trouble? You know my name, yet you still ask.
Chen Yu!!
Smack!
The form teachers ruler landed heavily on Chen Yus shoulder.
His expression unfazed, Chen Yu said, It doesnt hurt.
Squeezing the ruler, the form teachers breathing quickened in anger. Fine, be stubborn. Lets see how long you can continue acting that way, Chen Yu.
How about we both calm down, Teacher? Its not worth ruining your body because of this small incident. Ill also explain to you why I didnt come to school. How about it? Chen Yu said sincerely after executing a face-changing technique.
At these words, the form teacher narrowed her eyes and said, Speak.
Actually, the reason is simple. I was just too lazy to get out of bed. Hohoho! Hahaha!
Chen Yu!!!
I was wrong. Ill tell you the truth. Putting on a solemn expression, Chen Yu said, I had no choice but to skip school so that I can get into a good university.
Cant your explanation be any more contradictory?
There is no contradiction. Listen to my sophistry, Teacher. Taking a few steps forward and grabbing the Chinese language textbook sitting on the form teachers table, Chen Yu said, Youve just recently joined Sixth High, so you might not understand the teaching abilities of our schools teachers. Let me be honest with you. Even if you invite Guo Degang[2] to teach our school mathematics, our schools average mathematics score can rise by 40%.
So, what youre trying to say is that your grades will improve quicker if you dont come to school?
Bingo, Chen Yu said, smacking his thigh. Without waiting for his form teacher to blow her top, he continued, I know you dont believe me. However, Lu Xun once said that facts speak louder than words. Give me a set of test papers, and Ill show you the fruits of my self-studying. If I score lower than 90 points on any subject, my brother Li Liang and I will drop out of school together.
Dammit! Li Liang bellowed. What does this have to do with me?!
No need to speak. Looking at Li Liang, Chen Yu patted his own chest and said, Were brothers. I understand what you want to say.
Crap!
Heh. The form teacher eyed Chen Yu up and down a few times. She then sneered and said, These are your words.
Panicking, Li Liang said, Teacher! This has
Hes together with me. Well keep our promises, Chen Yu said, interrupting Li Liang.
Youre a real dog!!
Okay. Placing down her punishment ruler, the form teacher walked out of the office and said, Come with me. Ill find you the papers now.
No problem, Chen Yu said as he followed the form teacher out of the office. As he walked past the door, he sent a thumbs up at Li Liang and said, Wait for my good news, brother.
Fuck you!! Li Liang cursed in a fit of rage.
Bang.
The office door was shut tightly
Two minutes later, Chen Yu and his form teacher arrived in Year 2s substitute teachers office. Without hesitation, the form teacher grabbed a set of test papers from a mathematics teachers desk.
Do it.
Just one?
Speak after youve completed it, the form teacher with her head raised.
She had already transferred to this school for half a month, so she already had a rough idea of Sixth Highs students average standards.
Those capable of scoring a passing mark were excellent students.
Those capable of scoring over 90 marks were top students.
Those capable of scoring over 120 marks were blind monks.
Those capable of scoring full marks might as well be on their way to heaven.
She refused to believe that a delinquent student who had skipped school for half a month could reach the standard of top students.
Flip.
After taking his seat, Chen Yu flipped open the test paper and glanced through it briefly. Its too easy. Give me another one.
Do it!
Fine, then.
Shrugging, Chen Yu pulled out a ballpoint pen and began answering the papers questions at flying speeds.
He was someone who frequently used the Quantum Reading Glasses to study. Recently, he had also integrated with the 69th centurys quantum information flow. Although he still wasnt on par with the Transdimensional Academys geniuses, he wouldnt have any problems becoming the top student in a school like Sixth High.
Sure enough, in less than 15 minutes, he had already completed the first page of the mock paper.
There. Setting down his pen, Chen Yu passed his test paper to his dumbfounded form teacher and said, It really is too simple. Lets stop wasting time and move on to the next paper.
Picking up the maths paper, the form teacher gave Chen Yu a glance before calculating the answers in earnest.
Are there any problems?
Five minutes later, Chen Yu yawned.
Do this one next, the form teacher said as he pulled out a mock paper from the physics teachers desk.
No problem.
From mathematics and physics, to English and Chemistry, and finally to Chinese, Chen Yu had completed the first page of the mock papers for all five subjects within one hour. He also scored an accuracy rate of 90% or above for every subject.
How is this possible
The form teacher set down the Chinese test paper she held in a daze.
Do you believe me now? Standing up, Chen Yu smiled and patted his form teacher on the shoulders. I am truly skipping school so that I can raise my scores. I dont have anything personal against you. I wouldnt have had to go through such troubles if Sixth High had even one reliable teacher.
But Why do I keep feeling as if youre spouting nonsense?
Youre still new here. Youll understand my words once you stay in Sixth High for a while longer.
You can tell me if you have any problems. Regardless of your reasons, it isnt right for a student to play truant.
After seeing Chen Yus results, the form teachers tone softened significantly.
Whether it was in grade school, middle school, high school, or university, students with good grades would always enjoy privilege superior to their peers
Youre right. I have realized my mistake. Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Yu bowed sincerely and said, I wont skip school in the future, Teacher. Actually, I am a good student by nature.
I can tell that. Your thoughts are just slightly on the radical side.
You managed to see through my deeply hidden nature?
Y-Yes
Amazing! Chen Yu raised his thumb.
That After the two looked at each other in silence for a long while, the form teacher picked up the test papers and awkwardly scratched her head. So long as you properly attend school in the future, Ill ignore your past truancy. For now, head back to class and give me some time to myself.
Sure!
Oh, dont forget to bring Li Liang with you. Hes been standing for over an hour already.
No problem. If you hadnt mentioned him, I wouldve really forgotten about him.
Standing up, Chen Yu spoke a few perfunctory words before running away.
When Chen Yu passed by his form teachers office, he initially thought to just walk away. However, when he thought about the decade-long friendship he shared with Li Liang, he sighed and opened the office door. Hey, are you still standing here?
Huh?!
Li Liang shot up from the sofa in fright.
Oh? You sure have guts. Who let you sit down?
You still have the gall to say that? Anyway, how did it go with the teacher?
What else? Shrugging, Chen Yu said, I failed all five subjects. I have to honor my bets, so Im dropping out.
Im dropping out as well?! Li Liangs eyes widened at Chen Yus words. My dad is going to kill me!
What are you thinking? Weve been brothers for so many years, yet you still dont understand my personality? Do you think Ill drag you down with me? Chen Yu asked with a raised eyebrow. I already explained to the teacher that you have nothing to do with this. Dropping out is my own business. Not to mention, shes not stupid. How can she not tell that this matter has nothing to do with you?
Crap, you scared me to death. Hurry up and leave, then. Anyway, its not like you do anything meaningful even if you come to school.
However, the teacher said that while you escaped the death penalty, you still cant escape punishment. So, she wants you to go to the field and reflect on your actions. Afterward, write a reflection letter. If you dont want to do that, though, dropping out together with me isnt a bad option, either.
Scram. Isnt it just a penalty to stand for a few hours? Ill be fine even if I stand the whole day. You, on the other hand, should start considering whether youre going to go to Lanxiang or New Oriental.[3]
Hah Lets stay in touch via phone in the future. Im going to go collect my backpack now.
After the two brothers left the office, Chen Yu returned to the classroom while Li Liang went to stand at the field
Hey. After entering the class through the back door, Chen Yu returned to his original seat and tapped Xing Biqi on her shoulders. Im back.
You Turning her head around sharply, the girl blinked her eyes and asked, You didnt quarrel with the teacher, right?
Nope. We even formed a pretty good relationship.
Oh Wheres Li Liang? Where did he go?
No idea. He was gone when I went to the office to look for him. He mightve snuck away. Lets report him once the teacher returns.
Isnt this a bad idea?
Lets stop talking about this. Let me watch the videos you took yesterday. This is so crazy. You got to go to Alpha Centauri together with Transdimensionals UP! RNGesus mustve possessed your body! Quick, let me breathe in some of your luck.
D-Dont There are so many people around us
Sniff!
No Dont
Sniff, sniff
What the hell is this kid trying to do?
In the distant Beijing, the middle-aged team leader, who had just gotten off an airplane and onto a car, couldnt help but frown as he watched a surveillance video.
Maybe hes feeling bored? Big Sis Wu, who sat beside the middle-aged team leader, said as she straightened her glasses. Leader, it seems Chen Yu has yet to discover the cameras we installed in Sixth High. Should we start installing more cameras in his district?
No. Its normal for school classrooms to have surveillance cameras installed. Even if he notices them, he wont care too much about them. However, if cameras start appearing in other locations as well, they will easily draw his suspicion. The technological gap between us is too massive. We cannot take any risks.
So, you replaced the original form teacher of Class 2 with a teacher who is wholly ignorant?
Yes. The team leader nodded. The best option for us now is to maintain the status quo. For the moment, the higher-ups still arent sure how they should make contact with Chen Yu once the balance breaks. To be precise, they dont know from what position and what attitude they should approach this matter.
When the middle-aged team leader finished speaking, silence enveloped the car. Only the sound of Big Sis Wu silently tapping away at her tablet could be heard in the car.
Leader After a while, Big Sis Wu raised her head and showed the data she organized to the middle-aged team leader. Transdimensional Review has caused too big of a sensation this time. Practically every news headline in the world is covering the channel. Hardly any media outlet is even covering about our Mars landing and Googles recently-developed medical robot.
This is normal.
Receiving the tablet, the middle-aged team leader browsed through the information absentmindedly. He then put on a solemn expression and said, Actually, what we should be more concerned about now is the product thats going to come on the twelfth official livestream. Wed better prepare in advance.
Do you mean the dangerous product Chen Yu mentioned during his livestream?
Yes. The team leader nodded. The eleventh episode is likely to be a transition period, so there shouldnt be anything we need to worry about. Instead, we should focus our energy on the twelfth episode. If possible, we should find an opportunity to privately contact Chen Yu through the livestream room and ask for some news about that dangerous product.
Ill get it done.
Mhm. The more information you can collect, the better. At this point, Transdimensional Reviews fame and influence have already surpassed any media, organization, and individual in human history. A review that can threaten the world, even if the whole review process goes smoothly, could still potentially chaos catastrophic chaos in society.
Understood.
Placing down the tablet, the middle-aged team leader mumbled, Perhaps, the real trouble is just beginning
Chapter 341 - I Bought a Watch
Chapter 341 C I Bought a Watch
Evening, Jinzhou City:
Inside an empty classroom of Sixth High
Is this OK? Putting on a mask and pulling down the hood of the mens down jacket she wore, Xing Biqi did a twirl in front of Chen Yu and asked, Will the reporters recognize me?
Even I cant recognize you anymore, so there wont be any problems.
The size is a little too big.
Of course my jacket will be too big for you, Chen Yu said as he picked up Xing Biqis ladies down jacket. He then tried putting the jacket on, only to find that his arms couldnt even fit through the sleeves. I cant wear your jacket, so Ill just hold onto it.
Dont you feel cold?
Nope. After saying so, Chen Yu rolled the down jacket in his hands into a ball and held it in his arms.
Y-You cant fold it! Xing Biqis eyes widened at Chen Yus actions.
Its fine. Itll straighten out once you wash it. Now, lets hurry.
But
Go, go, go.
Under the urging, the girl could only glance at her balled up jacket in distress before leaving the classroom together with Chen Yu.
Im holding your jacket, so we shouldnt be seen walking together. Head out first and wait for me at Erdao Streets intersection. Dont talk to anyone along the way and just walk straight ahead. There are police officers maintaining order at the school gate, so you dont need to be afraid of anything.
I-I have something I left in the reception office. Can I go get it on the way?
Cant you get it tomorrow? Chen Yu frowned.
I want to retrieve it now Xing Biqi said, squeezing the corner of her jacket.
Dont drag your feet or talk too much, then. The longer you stay in the reception office, the more attention youll attract from those reporters.
Okay!
After mixing into the crowd of students leaving the school, the two continued discussing their plan. Only after verifying that they had covered all grounds did they separate and began taking independent action.
Pulling a mask out of his pocket, Chen Yu changed directions and naturally entered another classroom. He then leaned against the windowsill and observed the scene outside the teaching block.
At this time, the most conspicuous sight outside the teaching block was none other than the crowd of reporters gathered in front of the school gate.
If not for the police officers and security guards maintaining order at the scene, the schools students wouldnt be able to leave the school at all.
After the reporters, Li Liang, who currently stood in the middle of the field by himself, was the next most conspicuous sight. His bald head, in particular, shined brightly under the evening sun. His head was shining so brightly that the reporters had to squint their eyes when looking in his direction
What a wonderful move.
Chen Yu smacked his lips and admired his forward-thinking.
With the influence of the backlight, the reporters had suffered at least 25% damage to their sight. This would undoubtedly help Xing Biqi evade their sight much more easily.
Shortly afterward, Chen Yu found Xing Biqi appearing among the crowd of students leaving the teaching block.
Ever since the outbreak a year ago, Chinese citizens, especially students, have begun wearing masks out of habit. Hence, it wouldnt seem strange at all that Xing Biqi was wearing a mask.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu saw Xing Biqi walking out of the reception office with a package in her hands. After seeing her successfully slip through the crowd of reporters, his heart relaxed. He then walked out of the classroom, left the teaching block through the back entrance, and jumped over the school fence.
Turning three steps into two, Chen Yu quickly caught up to Xing Biqi. Pulling down his mask, he asked, Well? It was successful, right? I already told you that you wont need the officers help. How can they be as capable as I am?
Yes, yes, yes! Youre the most capable, Chen Yu.
At the girls words, the surrounding passersby revealed suspicious expressions one after another
Chen Yu, lets go to that place! Holding Chen Yus arm happily, the girl pointed at a hotpot restaurant some distance ahead and asked, Do you like Sichuan hotpot?
You can handle spicy food?
I can have the clear soup. Her cheeks reddening, Xing Biqi continued, Well have a yuanyang hotpot.[1]
A yuanyang hotpot? Chen Yu muttered thoughtfully.
Mhm~ Yuanyanghotpot. The girl lowered her head shyly.
Thats great. Clapping his hands, Chen Yu quickly pulled out his phone and said, If its clear soup, my little sisters can handle it as well. Ill give them a call.
Um Xing Biqi couldnt help but be taken aback, and she subconsciously hugged Chen Yus arms tighter. After hesitating for some time, she bit her lip and forced herself to nod, I guess its livelier with more people
Thats right. Speaking of which, its been some time since I took them out for a meal. Since youre treating, I might as well take advantage of it.
Youre an excellent elder brother.
I know, right?
After Chen Yu finished his phone call, the two made their way to the hotpot restaurant. They then went up to the second floor, randomly selected a fully enclosed private room, ordered the hotpot ingredients, and sat down opposite each other.
Initially, Xing Biqi had planned to sit with Chen Yu. However, as the third, fourth, and fifth wheels would be here soon, she could only regretfully sit opposite him.
Huh? Eldest just sent me a message saying that my parents are coming too. Haha, its going to be even livelier now, Chen Yu said as he put down his phone. He then walked up to the door, opened it, and shouted, Waiter! Im going to order more food!
Xing Biqi:
Knowing that the arrival of the others would thoroughly ruin her chance to unfold herself, Xing Biqi immediately entered an accelerated mode. Opening the package in her hands, she pulled out a high-end glass box from inside and handed it to Chen Yu.
Huh? What?
Chen Yu, this is the present I wanted to give you.
Present? Chen Yu received the box suspiciously. After giving the fogged surface a rub, he couldnt help but be startled. A watch?
Mhm! Xing Biqi nodded. I spent a long time choosing it yesterday. I felt that this one suited you a lot, so I bought it.
This After staring through the glass casing for a moment, Chen Yu gently stroked the boxs leather bottom. Crap! Patek Philippe?
Mhm! The girl nodded happily. Its the latest entry to the collection of astronomical watches. I bought it from the official website, so its genuine.
Did you find a goldmine in your backyard? Where did you get the money? How much did it cost?
Gesturing gracefully, Xing Biqi said, Seven figures.
A million?!
Two million four hundred thousand.
Chen Yu blinked his eyes as he held onto the glass box. You sold that gift from Transdimensional Review?
I sold it.
So, the present you mentioned this morningits this watch?
Mhm. I ordered it this morning, and it arrived at school this afternoon.
You actually dared to place such a valuable item outside?
Its much safer to have the officers hold onto it for me than if I do it myself. Smiling, Xing Biqi asked, How is it? Do you like it?
Indeed. Since the very beginning, she had never thought to keep the souvenir Transdimensionals UP gifted her to herself. She also never thought to give it to someone as a present.
No matter how valuable the space rock was, it was still a rock at the end of the day. She would only invite burglars to her house if she kept it to herself.
Hence, selling it was the best option.
As for her initial rejection of Jack Mas offer last night, it was merely a simple type of negotiation method. Her goal was to wait for the intervention of other bigshots.
Only with the presence of competition would she, the seller, be able to maximize her profits.
Due to this reason, she had managed to sell the space rock for an astronomical price of 40 million yuan.
Naturally, the buyer was still Jack Ma
Currently, Jack Ma had already paid her a five-million deposit. The remaining 35 million would be credited into her bank account in batches after the cumbersome transaction contract was completed.
Of course, after deducting the frightening taxes, she would only be left with a little over 20 million.
As a side note, the 40-million-yuan space rock had already been sent to Jinzhou City authorities for safekeeping.
If Jack Ma wished to thoroughly get his hands on the treasure, he would still have to make a few investments.
This is too valuable.
While playing around with the box in his left hand, Chen Yu scratched the back of his right ear awkwardly and said, You can practically use this watch as a dowry, right?
Then Then Lightly stretching her hair, Xing Biqis cheeks went from red to pink as she said, You can treat it as a dowry
Ermm
A rare blush appeared on Chen Yus face.
Put it on! See if it fits.
Well be having dinner right away. Itll get dirty if I wear it now, so Ill wear it later.
Dont watches exist to be worn on the wrist? Put it on quickly.
No, no. Itll look dull on me.
Hurry up! Xing Biqi said coquettishly.
In reality, Chen Yu was inwardly itching to put on the watch as well. Under the girls urging, he ended up giving in to temptation and removed the transparent sticker on the box. He then removed the boxs glass lid.
Immediately, a silver and black dial with an exquisite mechanical movement appeared before the eyes of the two.
Cool
A second ago, Chen Yu was still merely a teenager who liked electronic products such as smartphones, computers, and gaming consoles.
However, at this second, a new interest had been generated in his consciousnesswatches.
Its beautiful.
Rubbing his palms together, Chen Yu gently picked up the watch and placed it on his wrist.
Here! Ill help you! Xing Biqi stepped forward excitedly and fastened the alligator strap around Chen Yus wrist with her cold hands. Is it too tight?
No. Also, why leather?
Steel chains look too old-fashioned. A leather strap suits you more. Do you not like it? If not, we can have it replaced.
I like it. Chen Yu nodded. Raising his wrist and shaking it, he said, It feels comfortable.
Is it? Can you describe it in more detail?
It feels like being wrapped snugly in a blanket.
Oh!
Is it waterproof?
I think it can function properly even if you dive down to a depth of 100 meters. Oh, by the way, it has a beautiful function. Xing Biqi ran up to the light switch by the door and turned off the lights after saying so.
Click.
Darkness instantly enveloped the private room.
However, the room didnt fall into total darkness as a faint blue light still shone in the room.
This is Chen Yu was surprised.
Its the starry sky! Xing Biqi said as she slowly pressed her face against the side of her sweetheart. Pointing at the faintly glowing dial, she said, Thats why its called an astronomical watch.
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at Xing Biqi.
In response, Xing Biqi also looked at Chen Yu with her big, watery eyes.
Under the vague starlight, the two teenagers conveyed innumerable words and emotions to each other with their eyes.
Chen Yu
Biqi
Mhm~?. You go first.
No, you go first.
You first
Okay, Ill go first. Staring at the girls exquisite face without blinking, Chen Yu put on a solemn expression and said, Biqi, you got tricked. How is this even considered starlight? They sell this for more than two million just by adding a few light sources on this thing? Isnt this just a scam?
Xing Biqi:
The Milky Way seen from the countryside is much more beautiful than this thing.
Xing Biqi:
Ill take you to go see it tonight.
O-Okay
After awkwardly turning on the chandelier again, Xing Biqi returned to her seat and covered her steaming face, her thoughts falling into chaos.
Ive said what I wanted. Its your turn now.
I dont have anything to say anymore.
Is that so
After a short while, the waiter opened the door, entered the room with the prepared yuanyang hotpot, and placed it on the electric stove. The waiter then delivered plates of vegetables, beef, lamb, fruits, seafood, and other ingredients into the room.
Are these all? Chen Yu asked.
There are still more. Please wait for a moment.
Okay. Get me three more bottles of non-carbonated drinks.
Yes, sir.
Right, Biqi, what drink will you be having?
I-I cant drink
Heard that? Does your restaurant have the I cant drink beverage?
The waiter: ?
G-Give me a can of Sprite Xing Biqi said in exasperation.
You can drink now? Chen Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Are you doing this on purpose?!
Shrugging, Chen Yu didnt answer the girl. Instead, he picked up the cup of tea before him and took a sip. He then stretched his index finger and slowly stroked the Patek Philippe watchs smooth dial as he observed the metallic second hand ticking one time after another. After remaining silent for a moment, he said, Thank you for wasting so much money to buy me a gift.
Do you like it?
I like it.
It isnt a waste so long as you like it.
Chen Yu bit the tip of his tongue, his chest filled with all sorts of emotions. He then abruptly clicked his tongue and turned to look at the waiter standing by the door, asking, Hey, how long are you going to stand there watching?
Huh? Oh! Yes, yes. Ill leave right away
After waiting for the waiter to leave, Chen Yu kicked the door shut and turned to look at Xing Biqi. Of the years I have spent in this world, I have always placed great importance on reciprocating courtesy with courtesy. Since you have given me such a valuable gift, I will have to give you a return gift as well.
At Chen Yus words, Xing Biqi pursed her lips, complex emotions flowing through her eyes. Eventually, though, she let out a quiet sigh.
Twelve minutes later
Accompanied by the sound of noisy footsteps, the door to the room opened. Five people then walked into the room.
These people were none other than Chen Yus family members.
Haha! White Rabbit Sister!
Chen Sanke was the first to enter the room, followed by Chen Yike and Chen Erke. When the three sisters saw Xing Biqi, Chen Sanke reacted in joy while Chen Erke put on a fierce look.
Meanwhile, after their three daughters entered the room, Mother Chen and Father Chen also entered. When the two adults saw Xing Biqis figure seated by the table, though, they couldnt help but be stunned.
Oh? Isnt this Little Biqi? Mother Chen hurriedly stepped forward. For reasons known only to herself, she actually began stroking Xing Biqis slightly fleshy chin. Chen Yu, you invited Biqi as well? Why didnt you tell us beforehand? We wouldve come dressed up.
Huh? Frowning, Chen Yu asked, Mom, are you mistaken about something? Its Xing Biqi whos treating us, not me.
Huh? Mother Chen and Father Chen looked toward Chen Yike simultaneously and asked in unison, Didnt you say Chen Yu was treating us?
I-I mightve misheard Chen Yike said as she raised her hands timidly.
Mother Chen and Father Chen exchanged looks with each other, both sides noticing the awkwardness in each others eyes.
That This is a gathering for you two youngsters. You two continue eating here. Your uncle, little sisters, and I will have our meals downstairs, Mother Chen said to Xing Biqi.
Auntie, since youve come here already, how can I possibly let you leave? Xing Biqi hurriedly grabbed onto Mother Chens sleeve. Were not strangers. I invited you here so that we can have a meal together.
This isnt a good idea, right?
Theres nothing bad about this. Auntie, everyone, please sit down. The food is already here.
Um How about this? Faking a cough, Father Chen said, Well pay for this meal. We cant let our junior spend money on us.
Tap! Tap!
Chen Yu patted the table, catching everyones attention. While placing the uncooked ingredients into the hotpot, he said impatiently, What are you being polite for? Xing Biqi has already become a bona fide millionaire. Stop overthinking things and start eating. The food is going to get overcooked if you keep on standing around.
At this time, Chen Erke, who had already seated herself by Chen Yus side, sent a provocative look at Xing Biqi. She then held onto Chen Yus arm tightly and said, Im not leaving. I want to be together with Big Brother. Huh? Did you buy a watch?
Mommy! Lifting Chen Yus wrist, Chen Erke said, Look! He bought a watch!
Chapter 342 - Applaud for Love! (1)
Chapter 342 C Applause for Love! (1)
The night was quiet and comfortable.
Two people strolled under the orange street lights illumination, their silhouettes growing longer and longer as they gradually blended with their dark surroundings.
Your little sisters are so cute! How did your family have so many children?[1]
Dont ask.
It would be nice if I had younger siblings too.
Whats good about that? Theyll just bother you to death.
Youre taking things for granted. Holding onto Chen Yus wrist, Xing Biqi said softly, Actually, I am quite envious of you. Both Uncle and Auntie seem to be sensible people. Your little sisters are intimate with you as well. Your family really is a happy one.
Kekeke Sneering, Chen Yu said, This family is far from being as normal as you think it is.
How can you speak of your family like that?! Xing Biqi pinched Chen Yus waist, feigning anger.
However, Chen Yu remained indifferent to the girls actions and asked, Why are you touching me?
D-Doesnt it hurt?
I wont feel pain even if you use pliers to pinch me.
Amazing The girl was surprised. I never thought that the skin on the rest of your body would be as thick as the skin on your face.
Youre asking for a beating.
Heh. Sticking out her tongue, Xing Biqi said, Come beat me, then.
No can do. Youre a wealthy woman now. I dont wish to work hard, so I need to maintain a good relationship with you.
Hearing this, the girl immediately became depressed. Speaking of which, I sometimes feel that your attitude towards me has changed.
Changed? How did it change?
You dont like me as much as before.
Hearing this, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, Why would you say that?
You would bully me every day before, and sometimes even push me around physically. But nowyou wont even say anything mean to me.
?
Did I do anything wrong? Lifting her head, Xing Biqi looked at Chen Yu with widened eyes. You can be honest with me. Ill change.
In response, Chen Yu also looked at Xing Biqi with widened eyes. ???
Why arent you talking?
I-I dont know what to say Reaching out, Chen Yu touched the girls forehead and said, If I have to say something, then I would recommend you see a psychologist.
Meanie~
Xing Biqi rolled her eyes charmingly, her response shocking Chen Yu senseless.
By the way, weve been walking for a long time now. Where are you bringing me?
The forest, Chen Yu responded curtly.
The girls cheeks flushed red immediately. T-The weather is cold. Why dont we go to a hotel instead?
Hotel? What for? Were going to the forest.
Isnt it cold?
Youre wearing clothes, so whats there to be afraid of?
S-So you like that kind of stuff
What do you mean I like that kind of stuff? Suspiciously, Chen Yu asked, Its such a cold day. If you dont wear clothes, wont you freeze to death?
Alright Burying her head into Chen Yus averagely-wide shoulders, Xing Biqi said softly, Ill do what you say.
?
As the two walked along the street, they quickly arrived at Jinzhou Citys Peoples Park.
At this time, they could still see several youngsters having a snowball fight in the park under the street lights illumination.
There are still people playing here so late at night.
Its because spring is coming soon. Bending down, Xing Biqi grabbed some snow from the ground and asked, Should we have a snowball fight as well? Once the temperature rises and the snow melts, we wont have any more chances to play.
Whats fun about snowball fights? Leading the girl to the grove behind the park, Chen Yu said, Ill let you see what real fun is now.
The girl immediately tossed the snow in her hand. Lowering her head and squeezing the corner of her jacket, she muttered, To have our first time outdoors Youre too much
What are you mumbling about?
N-Nothing.
Bypassing the large billboard and crossing the cobblestone path between two rockeries, Chen Yu led Xing Biqi straight into the depths of the snow-covered woods.
Xing Biqi had her head lowered throughout the journey. After entering the forest, she bit her lip and slowly took out a Durex product from her purse. Taking a deep breath, she mumbled to herself, I can do it
Were here.
Chen Yu stopped his footsteps.
C-Come on, then The girl closed her eyes tightly.
Take off your jacket.
Wont it be cold?
It wont. Youll be warmed up in a moment.
Mhm~ Xing Biqi squeezed a reply out of her throat. She then unbuttoned her down jacket while simultaneously lifting her head. Darling, I brought conHuh? Why is there a door here?!
Isnt it normal for forests to have doors in them?
Its not normal at all!
Whats that in your hand?
Huh? This Nothing! The girl immediately hid the object she held behind her.
Is it bubble gum?
Y-Yes
Give me one.
No! It doesnt taste good! Decisively changing the topic, Xing Biqi asked, W-Whats up with this door? Who put it here?
I did. Taking a step forward, Chen Yu arrived in front of the Interstellar Portal and gently caressed its frame. Do you recognize it? I bet you dont. After all, Ive never had it take on this form in front of the camera.
Her mouth widening gradually, Xing Biqi asked, W-What do you mean
Look. Stretching out his hand, Chen Yu pointed at a bright star in the sky and asked, Do you know the name of that star?
Well, do you?
S-Sirius Xing Biqi covered her mouth and nose with her trembling hands, doing her best to suppress her increasingly rapid breathing.
It seems you have a good understanding of astronomy. Chen Yu nodded. Thats right. That star is called Sirius. It is also called Alpha Canis Majoris. On Earth, it is the brightest star we can see after the sun. In fact, it is often brighter than Mars, which is within the solar system. Then, do you know how far it is from us?
Eight-point-six light-years.
That is correct. It is nearly nine light-years away. What a great distance, right? But reality is often theatrical. When you look at a distant object, it might very well be very close to you.
Drops of glittering tears rolled down the girls face.
However, despite her blurred vision, the girl still stared at Chen Yus face.
Why are you crying?
I-I dont know either
Sirius also has a romantic and beautiful legend. Do you want to hear it?
Yes!
Then According to legend, a long, long time ago, a match-selling girl pursued after an orangutan named Sirius. However, Sirius felt that nothing good would come from two people of different races interacting. Yet, it also couldnt bear to reject the girl for fear of hurting the girls heart. Hence, Sirius killed the girl. The road to the underworld was long and dark. Sirius knew that the girl was afraid of the dark, so it did not hesitate to light itself with the matchstick in the girls hand. In the end, Sirius sacrificed itself to illuminate the road to the underworld.
When a passing god saw this scene Sobbing, Xing Biqi said, The god caused Sirius to burn even more fiercely. In the end, Sirius became the brightest star in the night sky, forever forever
Stepping forward, Xing Biqi buried her head into Chen Yus chest. While listening to the raging heartbeat inside, she whispered, Burning for that match-selling girl.
Isnt this story romantic? Chen Yu revealed a warm smile.
Mhm! The girl nodded heavily.
Do you like it?
I like it!
Then Looking at Sirius, Chen Yu asked, Do you want to visit that star?
I do.
Make a wish to it, then. If Sirius hears your heart, it might grant your wish.
Ive already made my wish. Wiping off the tears on her face, the girl looked up and stared at Chen Yu, Im not going to that broken place even if it kills me
Unless it is with you
Chapter 343 - Applaud for Love! (2)
Chapter 343 C Applaud for Love! (2)
Creak
The wooden door opened and revealed beyond it was the Pacific Oceans morning sky.
The sound of leaves rustling along with the wind could also be heard from the surroundings.
Is that the floating castle?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded. He took Xing Biqis hand and led through the Interstellar Portals spatial film, instantly crossing thousands of kilometers and arriving 1,000 meters above the Pacific Oceans equator.
Incredible Turning around and looking at the beautiful Forbidden Forest around her, Xing Biqi muttered, It feels like a dream.
Dreams are like reality, and reality is like dreams. Theres actually no need to divide the two so clearly. Pulling out two masks from his jacket, Chen Yu handed one to Xing Biqi and said, Put it on. We might come across other people.
This is Accepting the mask and scrutinizing it, Xing Biqi asked, Is this the opera mask youve been wearing all this time?
Mhm. Cool, right?
Do you wish to hear the truth or a lie?
Understood. Dont say anything. Waving his hand, Chen Yu put on his mask.
Maybe you have a deeper meaning to using this mask? The internet has been speculating that you have many reasons for choosing to use such a strange mask, Xing Biqi said as she put on her own mask. For example, to promote Chinese culture, the white and black colors of the mask representing good and evil, that youre a lover of Peking operas, etc.
I just felt it looked cool.
I think its best if you dont let your fans know this truth
While holding hands, the two made their way to the Type-R Spacecrafts parking spot. In no time at all, their goal entered their sights.
Are we really going to visit Sirius?
Of course. Um.. Dont you feel hot? Youre still wearing your jacket.
Its hot. Xing Biqi immediately removed her jacket, sweater, jeans, and cotton trousers, leaving only a pink short sleeve shirt and a pair of pink shorts. Are you not taking yours off?
N-No. This slight change in temperature makes no difference to me.
Its just like what the internet said! You really have become a superhuman!
Something like that.
But Hesitantly, Xing Biqi asked, Can superhumans get a nosebleed as well?
Huh? A nosebleed? Stunned, Chen Yu subconsciously retracted his gaze from the girls upper body and reached out to touch his own nose.
Sure enough, there was blood
Uh You should understand that a superhumans physique is different from ordinary people. I naturally have more blood than normal, so its natural for me to shed some every month.
Oh! So women are considered superhumans as well?
Thats different. Chen Yu accepted the tissue Xing Biqi offered and wiped his nose.
By the way, I heard that several film companies wish to shoot a documentary about you. Will you be taking part in them?
I dont know about this. Dont worry about it. Tossing away the blood-stained tissue, Chen Yu approached the spacecraft. He then mentally controlled it to unfold the cabin staircase and open the cabin door. Focus on whats in front of you. Get on the ship, and Ill show you what a real starry sky is.
Mhm!
Different from yesterday, Xing Biqi skipped and hopped in joy as she boarded the spacecraft. Im back again! This is wonderful! Chen Yu, come on up!
You head inside first. I need to take care of something.
What is it?
There are some voyeurs. Ill deal with them right away.
After saying so, Chen Yu slammed his right foot into the ground. Accompanied by a loud bang, his entire person instantly transformed into a blur as he dashed into the nearby forest.
So fast. Xing Biqis eyes grew misted as they followed Chen Yus departing figure. Hes really fast.
A few seconds later, Chen Yu appeared beside two students hiding behind a tree. Did you get a clear shot?
Not bad! Its quite cleaHeadmaster?! Shocked by Chen Yus sudden appearance, the male student holding the SLR camera turned around in a panic.
Meanwhile, the female student was so frightened that she even began shivering on the spot.
Are you students at the Academy?
Y-Yes.
Why are you hiding in the Forbidden Forest?
W-We The male student couldnt open his mouth.
Oh? Realization dawned upon Chen Yu when he saw the two students disheveled clothing. I spent so much time and effort into establishing the Academy, yet you two are actually playing stranded island on it?
Headmaster, we still havent reached that point. We made a mistake, so well leave now.
Do you think you can get away so easily? Reaching out and grabbing the male students SLR, Chen Yu said, Youve seen something you shouldnt see.
A-Are you going to silence us?! The male student panicked.
The female student fainted on the spot.
Instead of replying, Chen Yu simply pulled out the cameras memory card and crushed it. He then silently pulled out the Amnesia Bat
Its done.
Three minutes later, Chen Yu returned to the spacecraft and snapped his fingers.
5
Immediately, a high-end sofa appeared out of thin air.
After finding a comfortable position to sit down, Chen Yu looked at Xing Biqi and patted at the seat beside him, Come, sit here.
Did someone see us just now?
Mhm.
Taking a seat beside Chen Yu, Xing Biqi asked hesitantly, Did you
I dont take the lives of others, Chen Yu said, shrugging. Nobody has ever died during my livestreams.
Wont they leak your secret, then?
They wont. I have a way to prevent them from doing so. Anyway, were going to take off now, so lets stop talking about this. Im going to have the spacecraft accelerate quickly, so tell me if you feel uncomfortable.
Okay. The girl nodded and hugged her sweethearts arm tightly.
At this time, her chest was close to overflowing with happiness. After all, the two of them were the only ones on the spacecraft. This was the kind of trip she dreamed of having the most.
Boom!
The next moment, the beautifully shaped spacecraft rose into the air, instantly breaking the sound barrier and transforming into a streak of light as it charged out of Earth!
Simultaneously, the alarms the various governments had set up to monitor the area sounded off one after another, rudely awakening countless people from their dreams.
Boom!
Rumble, rumble
The spacecraft flew faster and faster. Its friction with the atmosphere also generated flames and lightning continuously, which caused the ship to grow brighter and brighter. At this time, it looked as if a miniature sun was slowly rising up from the Pacific Ocean, illuminating the sea within a thousand-kilometer radius.
How is it? Can you handle this acceleration? Chen Yu asked.
I feel fine. My chest just feels a little stuffy, and my ears are constantly ringing.
Good, then. Well continue maintaining this speed. Soon, well be out of the suns strong gravitational field.
I want to look outside. Can you make the walls transparent?
You cant see anything right now. The ships surrounded by flames.
I want to see.
OK.
Shrugging, Chen Yu made a mental command to the spacecraft. The cabin walls immediately turned transparent, revealing the blazing blue fire and lightning arcs enveloping the spacecrafts hull.
Despite the flames and lightning arcs being intertwined, they couldnt fully merge into one. They could still be distinguished from each other clearly.
How beautiful.
Standing up, Xing Biqi walked up to the cabin wall and timidly stretched out her hand to touch the dazzling blue. When she turned around, though, she couldnt help but be startled.
This was because, at this time, Chen Yu was already standing behind her with his mask removed. Meanwhile, his delicate face was only one centimeter away from hers.
Raising her hand slowly, the girl removed her mask and stared at the man without blinking. Your eyes really are pretty.
How is it pretty?
Its full of mystery, like the starry sky.
After saying so, the girl closed her eyes and stood on her toes.
The man also closed his eyes and lowered his head
Chapter 344 - Eleventh Official Review! (Prelude)
Chapter 344 C Eleventh Official Review!
The frozen time gradually melted.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the two separated.
At this time, a starry sky with no end in sight had already appeared outside the spacecraft.
Weve flown out of Earth, Chen Yu said.
Mhm. Her cheeks flushed, Xing Biqi lowered her head in embarrassment.
At our current speed, well be able to pass through the suns strong gravitational field in no time. Although were not livestreaming today, so we arent limited by time, Sirius is still too far away. So, well still be advancing at 5,000 times the speed of light.
Well do as you say Biting her lip, the girl squeezed the daily necessity in her hand and said hesitantly, B-But, are we just going to stand here and do nothing now?
Its going to be tiresome if we stand all the time. Isnt the sofa much more comfortable? Pulling Xing Biqi to the sofa, Chen Yu took a seat and crossed his legs. Lets sit down instead.
Xing Biqi:
Whats wrong? Is there a problem?
I-Its nothing
Good, then. Nodding, Chen Yu casually hooked his finger at the empty space before him. Immediately, a double-door refrigerator appeared in front of him.
Opening the left door, Chen Yu reached out and grabbed a bottle of chilled red wine and two wine glasses from within. After handing a glass to Xing Biqi and uncorking the wine bottle, he asked, Can you drink wine? Its red wine.
Ive never had any before. Raising her wine glass, Xing Biqi stretched out her pink tongue and wet her lips. I think I can handle it.
Youve never had any before? Nonsense. While pouring wine into Xing Biqis glass, Chen Yu clicked his tongue and said, Didnt you have some when I went to your house for dinner? I dont remember whether it was wine or beer, but I know you drank quite a lot.
Huh? Hearing Chen Yus words, Xing Biqi couldnt help but be confused. Dinner? When did you come to my house for dinner?
Um Chen Yu immediately remembered that he had once used the Amnesia Bat on the girl. Hurriedly, he started drinking from his glass while mumbling, I mustve misremembered.
Could you have drunk wine with other girls before? Xing Biqi asked suspiciously.
No. I just remembered wrongly. Dont mind it. Here, cheers.
Chen Yu, do you have something youre hiding from me?
Are you going to drink or not?
Ill drink
After taking a small sip of wine, Xing Biqi hesitated slightly before eventually deciding not to pursue the topic. Its delicious.
Drink more then.
Its not the wine itself thats good. It only tastes good because I am drinking it with you. I really hope we can continue flying like this forever.
Thats impossible. We dont have enough energy.
Xing Biqi: Im not talking about energy.
But it cannot fly without energy, Chen Yu said inconsiderately.
Okay Placing down the wine glass, Xing Biqi stood up and looked at Earths direction. After a long silence, she suddenly opened her mouth and asked, Chen Yu, I dont understand a lot about physics. However, since we were able to see the Earth of four years ago from Alpha Centauri yesterday, is it possible to see a scene from one or two years ago?
Thats entirely possible. Mimicking the wine-swirling technique he saw on TV, Chen Yu said, Light moves at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. So long as we move to a location thats two light-years away from Earth, we can pick up Earths light information from two years ago. On this trip to Sirius, I also plan to shoot some scenes of Earth from eight years ago. The only worry is the images clarity since Sirius is located much further away from Earth.
Biting her lips, the girl lowered her head and stared at the red liquid in her glass. If I say that I want to see Dalian Citys Ganjing District of 18 months ago, can it be done?
Youwant to see your parents?
Mhm.
No problem. Putting down his wine glass, Chen Yu said in a low tone, Well fly the spacecraft 1.5 light-years away from Earth. At this distance, we can definitely get a clear image of Earth.
Can we see their faces?
I cant say for certain, but lets try it.
Five minutes later, the Type-R Spacecraft left the suns strong gravitational field. Immediately afterward, it entered FTL navigation mode and flew straight toward Sirius.
It had taken the spacecraft only 0.2 seconds to go from 0 to 5,000 times the speed of light.
Meanwhile, the view inside the spacecraft fell into a bizarre state once more as light got distorted.
Leader, take a look at this.
A certain offices door was suddenly pushed open, and Big Sis Wu walked into the office hastily. She then placed the envelope in her hands onto the wooden table and said, We just received urgent news from the military network.
At Big Sis Wus words, the middle-aged team leader hurriedly accepted the envelope. Upon seeing the mark on the cover, his expression immediately turned serious. This kind of information should be conveyed to us from the higher-ups. Why was it sent directly to us instead?
Emergency protocols mustve been triggered, so they prioritized sending the information to us first. The higher-ups might not have received the information yet.
Is that so
Nodding, the middle-aged team leader tore open the envelopes seal and pulled out a document from within. After giving it a quick scan, he frowned and muttered, The Type-R Spacecraft took off?
It took off? Stunned, Big Sis Wu asked, Where did it fly to?
According to the preliminary results of satellite monitoring, the spacecraft left the atmosphere at an angle of 20 north latitude. And after circling three-quarters around Earth, it flew away towards Sirius.
Sirius? What is he going to Sirius for?
Who knows what is going through Chen Yus mind? Placing down the document, the middle-aged team leader promptly picked up the phone on his desk and pressed a speed dial button.
Beep
Hello, I am the team leader. Has the target disappeared?
Yes, Leader, a calm voice came from the other end of the receiver.
Smack!
Slapping the table angrily, the middle-aged team leader bellowed, Why didnt you inform me of such an important matter?!
It isnt time for the scheduled report yet.
But this is an emergency disappearance! You have neglected your duties!
Leader, this isnt an emergency disappearance. The voice coming from through the earpiece still remained calm. He has simply disappeared from our line of sight.
Narrowing his eyes, the middle-aged team leader asked, Whats the difference?
The difference is that he is still under our control.
Where is he now?
Hes in the grove of the Peoples Park.
Why dont you head inside to check?
Target 1 and Target 2 are currently being intimate with each other. It isnt convenient for us to get closer.
But the reality isthe two of them are already making their way to Sirius.
?
You are temporarily suspended. Transfer your duties according to procedures.
Without waiting for the other party to respond, the middle-aged team leader abruptly disconnected the call.
Leader, what should we do now? Big Sis Wu asked worriedly. Chen Yu is fine since weve protected his identity well, but Xing Biqi is currently too popular. Many foreign agents and forces have their attention on her. Itll be very easy for her to cause Chen Yus identity to get exposed.
Pulling out the medicine box from his breast pocket, the middle-aged team leader popped a few pills into his mouth and asked, Do you think he is still afraid of his identity getting exposed now?
No. Without even having to process the question, Big Sis Wu said, We are the ones who are afraid.
Yes. He isnt afraid. He is only worried that he would be caught off guard by the sudden exposure. Swallowing the pills in his mouth, the team leader said in a low tone, It is difficult for a person to change their cognitive inertia. Moreover, through his psychological portraits we have collected for the past year, we already know his character. Unless he receives strong stimulation, it is unlikely for him to be willing to break the current status quo. After all is said and done, he is just a high school student. It is difficult for him to control his subconscious mind.
However, we are different. Society needs development and stability. While Transdimensional Reviews emergence is troublesome, it brings obvious development and benefits. For the moment, the only thing we cannot guarantee is stability. If Chen Yus identity gets exposed, the complexity of the situation will be magnified exponentially, and itll become even more difficult to maintain the situations stability.
Breathing out a long sigh, the team leader continued, We are afraid. The governments of America, Japan, and many other countries are afraid as well. Everyone is doing their best to find their balance. Hence, they have always maintained a tacit intensity with our country regarding the search for Chen Yus identity.
However, not all bodies of a government will share the same opinion. There are plenty of radicals who want to expose Chen Yus identity. Once that happens, setting aside the series of trouble that will result, just deciding the position and relationship we should maintain with Chen Yu will become a delicate problem.
Straightening her glasses, Big Sis Wu said, More importantly, once Chen Yu has his identity exposed, there wont be a need for him to maintain a low-profile anymore. With his personality, he will definitely cause a lot of problems.
This is what makes him such a complicated opponent. The middle-aged team leader nodded.
I suspect that Americas intelligence agency has already uncovered Chen Yus identity. Its just that, like us, they are afraid of exposing him, Big Sis Wu said.
Hearing this, the middle-aged team leader laughed in self-ridicule and said, Even if some sheep discover that there is a wolf wearing sheeps clothing hiding among their flock, they wont dare let the wolf know that they have discovered it.
A very appropriate metaphor.
However, there is bound to be a day where the wolf is exposed. I just hope I will have already retired when that day comes. While mumbling, the middle-aged team leader picked up the phone once more and contacted the teams important members to hold an emergency meeting. He would have to clean up after Chen Yus mess.
The first problem that had to be resolved was how long Chen Yu would take on his trip. If Chen Yu and Xing Biqi returned at a late hour, both their families would fall into chaos. This was especially true for Xing Biqis family.
Moreover, with Xing Biqis current popularity and the numerous reporters and agents surrounding her house
I changed my mind. I want to retire now. The middle-aged team leader held his forehead in pain.
Roughly 1.5 light-years away from Earth, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the deep, dark space.
When the flash disappeared, a white spaceship appeared out of thin air and entered a stationary state.
This position should be about right.
Inside the Type-R Spacecraft, Chen Yu got up from the sofa, pulling Xing Biqi up while he was at it. How is it? Do you feel dizzy?
No. I closed my eyes during the trip. Can we see them here?
It should be possible. Even if there is a discrepancy, we can just maneuver the spacecraft forward or backward. Now, all I need is an accurate time from you.
Mhm. Nodding, Xing Biqi stated the date and time in her mind, her accuracy reaching down to the minute.
Give me a moment to calculate it.
After saying so, Chen Yu began making mental calculations while having the spacecraft repeatedly move forward and backward.
This spot!
Two minutes later, Chen Yu snapped his fingers. Immediately, the universe before the two began enlarging to a point where they could start seeing the solar system, Oort cloud, outer planets, Jupiter, asteroid beltand eventually Earth.
Dalian Citys Ganjing District
For a technology of the 69th century, catching an accurate view of a location 1.5 light-years away was no problem at all. Very quickly, the sight of Ganjing District entered the twos view.
Whether it was the buildings, parks, or street traffic, everything was clearly visible.
The projected scenes clarity was much better than the scene the spacecraft captured from Alpha Centauri yesterday.
Go up a little bit. There is a highway next to the bus station. Xing Biqis breathing gradually grew heavier. She then pointed at the scene ahead of her and shouted, Yes! A little bit higher!
Here?
Yes, yes! Can you zoom in more?
Okay.
The scene enlarged once more.
At this point, one could even count the red bricks used to line the sidewalk.
The faces of the humans walking on the sidewalk could also be seen with perfect clarity.
This time, even without Xing Biqis guidance, Chen Yu had tacitly moved the cameras focus to a group of people walking out of a hotel.
Chen Yu, the one wearing the gray coat and swaying around is my dad Xing Biqi said, her voice becoming hoarse.
Then that woman helping him is Auntie?
Mhm.
Chen Yu didnt know what to say in this situation.
My parents faces dont look quite similar. Forcing a smile onto her face, Xing Biqi turned to look at Chen Yu and said, They arent that fat.
Were at a distance of 1.5 light-years. The light information we can receive is limited. Most of the scenes you see now are simulated, so it is normal for discrepancies to occur.
But I know I know that theyre my parents. My parents from a year ago. At that time, they were still alive
After the group of people bid farewell to each other in the projected scene, Father Xing and Mother Xing got onto a black Passat.
The seat Father Xing sat in was none other than the drivers seat.
For some reason, when Xing Biqi stared at the scene playing out before her, she did not have any thoughts of crying. She merely watched as her parents sat on the car that was fated to bring about their demise.
Lets stop watching, Chen Yu suggested.
Chen Yu. Slowly, the girl asked, Do you think it is possible to travel through time if technology continues to develop?
Based on current scientific theories, time is irreversible. In other words, it is impossible to travel back to the past.
In that case, are the products you review not from the future?
They are from the future, but they werent sent over to me. Instead, they are replicated using the resources of the current timeline using some method. Someone once explained it to me before. For example, it is very difficult for one to send a basketball from Mars to Earth. On the other hand, if one communicates the method to create the basketball from Mars to a factory on Earth, reproducing the basketball on Earth would be much simpler. However, at the end of the day, both Earth and Mars are parallel worlds.
In other words, even if I interfered with the life and death of my parents a year ago, they still wont survive in this world?
Yes. Chen Yu subconsciously held the girls right hand. He then comforted her, However, technology is even more magical than actual magic. Maybe one day, everything will have a solution to it.
Is that so. What Xing Biqi said was an interrogative sentence, yet her tone made it sound like a declarative sentence.
Mhm. After hesitating for a while, Chen Yu nodded. Inwardly, though, he thought, Sorry, its a lie
It would be nice if my parents could see us as well.
Why?
If they can see that I am happy now, then they can pass on in peace. They wont constantly be calling my name after the car accident Pursing her lips, the girl smiled. It hurts.
Turning around, Chen Yu stepped in front of Xing Biqi and hugged her tightly
Time, passed by in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by already.
The morning sun rose into the air, its vitality waking up Chen Yu from his slumber.
Mr. Chen, youre awake!
Mhm.
After stretching his body, Chen Yu pulled out his phone from under the pillow and unlocked it.
The screens wallpaper was a photo of a man and a woman standing amidst a galaxy of stars.
Both of them smiled happily, their smiles looking more eye-catching than the star named Sirius behind them.
Good morning.
After muttering a greeting in his heart, Chen Yu got out of bed, walked up to the window, and yanked open the curtains.
Flutter!
Outside the window, the snow had melted, and green buds had sprouted.
Its finally spring. How wonderful.
Mr. Chen! Leaning in toward Chen Yu, Little Peach said, Its already 8 AM. Theres only one hour left until the eleventh official livestream. You have to hurry up.
It doesnt matter. Turning off the phone, Chen Yu opened the window and said, One hour is more than enough.
Mr. Chen Narrowing her eyes, Little Peach said, I seemed to have seen a photo on your phone just now.
There isnt one.
There is.
There isnt.
There is!
Scram.
Okay.
Chapter 345 - Eleventh Official Review! (1)
Chapter 345 C Eleventh Official Review! (1)
Sunday, 8:30 AM:
The crowds of shoppers, diners, and consumers dispersed worldwide, causing the various shops to become sparsely populated. For a time, a depressing atmosphere enveloped the various cities around the world.
In contrast, the internet was in an uproar at this time as hundreds and millions of IP addresses flooded in from every corner of the world.
Transdimensional Reviews eleventh official livestream was going to be held today.
It was also the first livestream ever since Transdimensional Reviews existence had been thoroughly exposed to the world.
Originally, the various media, institutions, self-published media, and netizens had speculated that after the tenth official livestreams, Chen Yu would host an additional livestream like usual. However, in the end, Transdimensional Review had not shown the slightest bit of activity for an entire month. The channel didnt even make a single update post on its homepage.
It was as if the channel had gone into a hiatus
However, after getting tortured by their curiosity for one whole month, the moment everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived. They would finally get to witness the most unimaginable scene in human history.
For the sake of this moment, many people had resigned from their jobs or skipped their classes.
In the meantime, Chen Yu, the protagonist of these hundreds of millions of people, had snuck into his eldest little sisters room and gave Chen Yike a smack to the head with the Amnesia Bat. Afterward, he used the Hypnosis Rattle to add a layer of insurance. Only after doing so did he return to his room and change into a new set of clothes.
Mr. Chen, what will you be wearing this time? Are you going to change into your protective suit?
No need.
Waving his hand, Chen Yu pulled out a box from under his bed. He then grabbed a set of imperial robes from within and put it on. I have a hunch that the product this time is a protective technology. So, there is no need to change into the protective suit. Itll only make the review process inconvenient.
Why are you so sure? Little Peach asked, puzzled.
The marketing staff has previously said that she has applied an incredibly dangerous product for me. The product is so dangerous that it can even cause the solar systems destruction. However, I will first need to meet the safety requirements to review the product. In the last episode, she gave me a transportation tool that can allow me to make a convenient getaway. In that case, this episodes product is most likely a protective technology.
Amazing! Little Peach put on a look of admiration when she heard Chen Yus deduction.
Its nothing. Putting on his mask, Chen Yu flicked his robe and said, As a person standing at the top of self-published media, I must have the necessary analytical and deduction capabilities. Otherwise, I wont be able to deal with the industrys complex environment. While it is difficult for you to keep up with me, as you are my assistant, you should at least make sure you dont fall too far behind.
I understand!
Mhm.
Nodding, Chen Yu turned around calmly and pulled out his phone from his pocket. He then entered WeChat and quickly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: Are you sure it is a protective product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes! Mr. Chen, please stop asking. I have no reason to deceive you.]
[Chen Yu: Okay. Ill get ready to begin the livestream now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I wish you a smooth broadcast! Goodbye.]
After exiting his chat window with the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff member, Chen Yu suddenly saw that Xing Biqi had sent him many messages.
[Xing Biqi: Chen Yu, Transdimensional Review is hosting a livestream today. Should we watch it together?]
Scratching the back of his ear, Chen Yu looked back at Little Peach briefly before typing a reply.
[Chen Yu: I have something to do outside today, so watch it by yourself.]
[Xing Biqi: Is that so? Where are you going? Can you bring me along?]
[Chen Yu: A brother of mine is getting an abortion as well as a circumcision while hes at it, so it isnt convenient for me to take you.]
[Xing Biqi: ???]
[Chen Yu: Lets not talk about this for now. Im going offline, so just watch the livestream yourself. If theres a lottery, dont forget to make an entry. Who knows if youll win it again?]
After typing his last message, Chen Yu exited his WeChat and tossed his phone onto his mattress. He then opened the Interstellar Portal, strode across the spatial film, and arrived at the distant Super Floating Castle.
Indeed.
Xing Biqi had forgotten about her trip to Sirius a month ago.
Using the Memory Storage Module, Chen Yu had cut and saved that portion of her memory in one of the storage modules five biological hard disks.
Unless the digitized memory was exported to her brain again, Xing Biqi would never recall that segment of her life. Of course, Chen Yu had also gotten her consent for this matter.
The reason why Chen Yu had decided to take such an action was simple. It was because he felt that it still wasnt time for him to reveal his identity.
Meanwhile, Xing Biqi was only a high school student. Whether it was in terms of EQ, IQ, experience, acting skills, etc., she was no match for him. When faced with the many elite agents and veteran reporters, it would be very easy for her to give herself away and invite trouble to herself.
However, Chen Yu also knew that this wasnt Xing Biqis problem.
After all, there werent many people in the world who could fight against the elites of a country
Its so lonely at the top. Sighing faintly, Chen Yu turned around and looked at Little Peach. What are you still standing there for? Come over. Its almost nine oclock.
Okay~
After waiting for Little Peach to cross the portal, Chen Yu closed the wooden door and disconnected the spatial link to his bedroom. He then changed the portals shape into a metal arch once more.
Now that I think about it, it really is boring.
Huh? Blankly, Little Peach asked, Whats boring?
I feel bored at how weak my opponents are. Stretching his hand and gently stroking the portals metal frame, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Its been a year already, yet the countless think tanks worldwide still dont know that this portal is capable of altering its appearance. I cant feel the pressure at all.
That is understandable. Giving Chen Yu her analysis, Little Peach said, You are excellent at laying out strategies and formulating detailed plans. Your concealment is impeccable. Even an artificial intelligence like myself cant see through some of your ideas, let alone ordinary humans.
Thats why its boring, Chen Yu said, shrugging. Isnt that so?
Nodding, Little Peach said, Maybe this is what it feels like to be a genius.
He is a genius!
New York, United Nations Headquarters, Observer Conference Hall:
Using a deep voice, Americas representative spoke into the microphone before him, He is a genius who has left our numerous experts helpless. Right now, I can say for a fact that uncovering his identity is impossible. So long as Transdimensionals UP doesnt actively expose himself, we will have no way of uncovering his identity.
I agree, the middle-aged team leader representing China said, raising his hand. Chinas side has also failed. We cannot find him.
We also agree, Japans representative said, similarly raising his hand. I recommend we stop wasting manpower in this aspect. Instead, we should focus on cooperating with Transdimensionals UP to maintain the futures stability.
We agree, too. Germans representative raised his hand.
Agreed. Britains representative raised his hand.
Does anyone present have any objections to this motion? Americas representative asked. We will abandon our investigation into Transdimensionals UPs identity and focus our manpower on other aspects. Those who object, please raise your hand.
Our side objects, the Korean representative said with a sharp gaze. We currently know of the other partys surname already. Even if Transdimensionals UP possesses extraordinary wisdom, as the number of livestream he hosts increases, he is bound to give himself away sooner or later. We cannot give up.
We object as well, the Russian representative said, raising his hand. We agree with Koreas opinion. We cannot lightly make a conclusion now.
We object as well. The Australian representative said, raising his hand.
We object, too, Pakistans representative said.
Chapter 346 - Eleventh Official Review! (2)
Chapter 346 C Eleventh Official Review! (2)
8:55.
8:57.
8:59.
9:00!
Its coming.
Inside the main hall of the Headmasters Tower, Chen Yu abruptly looked up into the air.
The next moment, space within the hall began distorting as a circular wormhole took shape. A small box then gradually emerged from this wormhole.
Thud.
Five seconds later, the white delivery box fell to the ground, and the wormhole gradually disappeared.
A moment later, the distorted space within the hall recovered to its original state.
Its so small. Hurriedly stepping forward, Little Peach picked up the thumb-sized delivery box. She then passed it over to Chen Yu and said, Mr. Chen, its not even the size of human excrement.
Chen Yus outstretched hand froze momentarily at Little Peachs words. What kind of bloody description is this?
Alright, then. Timidly, Little Peach said, Its larger than excrement.
The problem isnt the size, okay?! Snatching the delivery box, Chen Yu waved his hand in annoyance and said, Dont speak if you cant do it properly. Stand behind me.
But it clearly isnt large After mumbling some words, Little Peach stood behind Chen Yu obediently.
Raising his hand, Chen Yu carefully inspected the delivery box sitting on his palm and fell into confusion.
The box was no more than five centimeters long and two centimeters wide. Its size roughly resembled the containers for cosmetics such as lipsticks and mascara.
Without a doubt, this was the smallest product he had ever received from the future.
Can such a small item be a protective product? Little Peach couldnt help but ask.
Wanna bet? Chen Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Bet? Okay! What should we bet on? Little Peach immediately grew excited upon hearing the word bet.
Well bet whether this thing is a protective product or not. If you lose, youll call me Daddy from now on. How about it?
What if you lose?
Ill hear you call me Daddy if I lose.
Okay! Little Peach nodded hurriedly. No problem! We have a deal! You better not regret it!
Only fools would regret.
Pinky promise!
Fine, pinky promise.
After saying so, Chen Yu hooked his pinky with Little Peach.
Open the box! Lets see whats inside, Little Peach said eagerly.
No. Ill only open it once the livestream begins, Chen Yu said.
Start the livestream now, then!
Mhm. Stand behind me.
After saying so, Chen Yu faced the camera and started the livestream without hesitation.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[All webcasting platforms worldwide connected!]
23.66 million.
110 million.
300 million
As soon as he opened the livestream rooms access to the public, hundreds of millions of IPs flooded into the livestream rooms. In just three seconds, the total viewer count had already exceeded 500 million!
[All rise!]
[Its here!!]
[First! Im first!]
[First!]
[Fifth.]
[So, this is the rumored Transdimensional Review?]
[Cute.jpg.]
[Im an old fan. I knew the UP would become famous one day.]
[If its gold, there is bound to be a day where it shines.]
[If it shines, theres bound to be a day where it becomes gold.]
[Host! Mommy loves you!]
[UP, if youre so amazing, do you dare establish a fan club?]
Two minutes later, the flood of bullet comments began settling down.
Meanwhile, the livestreams viewer count also settled around the 500-million mark.
In reality, the total viewer count displayed wasnt an accurate representation of the number of people watching the livestream. After all, the count merely represented the number of IP addresses connected to the livestream. However, not every IP would necessarily have only one viewer sitting behind the screen
Hence, the number of people actually watching Chen Yus livestream now was definitely far more than just 500 million.
I guess I shouldve expected this much. After sighing inwardly, Chen Yu puffed up his chest, looked straight into the camera, and began speaking loudly, Good morning, friends in the various livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Reviews eleventh official livestream.
I am Transdimensional Reviews creator and host. I am responsible for displaying, testing, reviewing, and promoting technological products from future human civilizations. It is a great honor to meet with you all.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu glanced at the bullet comment section that had turned chaotic once more before continuing, Its been some time since the information ban has been lifted. Im sure everyone has learned a lot about me, so I will spare you the boring self-introduction. Instead, Ill get straight into topic and begin todays review.
After saying so, Chen Yu displayed the tiny delivery box to the camera.
This is our protagonist for today. It is the eleventh official livestreams review product. One thing worth mentioning is that the box is tiny; it is merely the size of a lipstick. In my reviewing career, it is the smallest product I have ever received from the future.
Now, lets begin the reviews first phasethe product unboxing.
Tear!
Unboxing complete.
[Beautifully done.]
[The UP is still as fast as always.]
[Even if hes so fast, it still wont change his habit of liking other peoples wives.]
[?]
[??]
Tossing away the red tape, Chen Yu scrutinized the box for a moment before opening the small lid. He then poured out the item inside the box and played around with it in his hand.
The product this time was an exquisitely made cylindrical metal tube. The metal tube had a smooth surface and actually felt elastic to the touch.
The tube was hollow, but Chen Yu could see a strange substance inside it.
Fuu!
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu tried blowing at the tubes mouth, only to be stopped by his mask.
As everyone can see, this is an iron tube. Having the camera zoom in on the tube, Chen Yu explained, Like you, I also dont know the identity of this product. I dont know what uses it has or how I can control it. The box didnt come with an instruction manual, either. However, Im certain the product itself comes with a detailed tutorial. Perhaps, its right here
After saying so, Chen Yu stretched out a pinky. He then inserted it into the metal tubes mouth under the gaze of his 500 million viewers.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a stream of quantum information flooded into Chen Yus network of tissues, cells, genes, and quantum information, quickly merging with his entire body.
Three seconds later, Chen Yu regained consciousness.
Chen Yu took a deep breath as he recalled the familiar feeling of undergoing quantum information fusion. He then faced the camera, a look of excitement appearing on his face.
Similar to the previous review, I have merged with the built-in quantum information flow of this product. I now know the name, purpose, and control method of this product.
I believe nobody will be able to guess what it is.
Slowly raising the metal tube, Chen Yu grinned. While trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, he pushed his pinky even further into the metal tube.
Boom!
A myriad of dazzling lights instantly flooded the entire hall!
The lights were so bright that the audience in front of the screen had nearly gone blind
Chapter 347 - Eleventh Official Review! (3)
Chapter 347 C Eleventh Official Review! (3)
The dazzling lights gradually disappeared, and a blurry sight appeared in the audiences eyes.
At this time, Chen Yu could be seen floating in mid-air like a ghost, and the space surrounding him looked twisted and torn. From the audiences perspective, it looked as if they were looking at Chen Yu through a wall of translucent tape.
[Did the host become a god?]
[How cool!]
[Cool my ass. My toilets frosted glass has the same effect.]
[I thought Transdimensional Reviews channel was about science fiction]
[After developing to a certain point, technology performs no different than magic.]
[Does anyone here know what that thing is?]
[Brothers, I shit you not. Even adult sites are broadcasting Transdimensional Reviews livestream right now. ( ????)]
[Even the broadcasting website I started up on the fly is broadcasting the livestream.]
[What godlike abilities]
Friends in front of the screen, have you guessed what this product is? Chen Yu asked as he pulled out his pinky finger from the metal tube. Immediately, the strange phenomenon surrounding him disappeared. Previously, Ive stated that the more advanced technology becomes, the further it will exceed modern humans imagination. If we based our opinions solely on this products external appearance and apparent effect, wed have difficulty accurately guessing its function. In reality, though, this products function is very straightforward.
It, is a shield.
To be precise, it is a protective cover generator.
Raising the metal tube before the camera, Chen Yu tapped the tubes surface lightly with his knuckles and said, Its full name is called the Electromagnetic and Isometric Force Field, or EI Force Field for short. It was produced and sold by the Mutual Attack Technology Group in 6105.
The theory behind this force field is complicated, and it will take three web novel chapters worth of content to give everyone a detailed explanation. Hence, I will try to describe it as simply as possible. Whether you can understand it or not will be up to fate.
After saying so, Chen Yu inserted his middle finger into the metal tube. The EI Force Field is an improved and optimized version of Boeings electromagnetic force field theory. It uses electromagnetic arcs to effectively attenuate the shock wave generated by explosions, preventing ships, submarines, platforms, buildings, vehicles, and even humans from harm.
Technical theories on electromagnetic force fields have existed since the last century, but research on them only began in earnest in 2005. It also took until 2022 before a finished product was produced successfully, and only in 2025 did the product enter small-scale mass production. If everyone is interested in this topic, you can search for relevant information online.
Also, I would like to apologize to the Boeing Company and America here. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, Ive exposed your strategic armament plan, but I didnt do it intentionally. I wont take any responsibility for it, either.
[I found it! It really exists!]
[It seems an experimental product was already made in 2016. Awesome.]
[Doesnt Boeing make airplanes?]
[It builds fighter jets as well. ( ????)]
[It makes bombers as well. :)]
[It builds nuclear missiles as well.]
[It causes air disasters as well.]
To avoid leaking Boeings company secrets, I wont talk about the calculation formulas and material requirements. Ill just give a brief introduction to the production process.
Under normal circumstances, Boeings first-generation electromagnetic force field consists of two parts: a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is used to detect an explosion in water or air, such as a torpedo exploding in the sea. The sensors signal then triggers the electromagnetic force transmitter, and the transmitter rapidly heats the seawater in the direction of the explosion to create a plasma shield to transfer or absorb the shockwaves from the blast.
If the explosion occurs in the air, the transmitter will heat up the air instead. One thing worth mentioning is that the type of transmitter used will vary depending on the environment the force field is used in. The transmitter can be purposed to generate a laser, a blast of electricity, or microwave energy. Governments and laboratories interested in this can try making a force field yourself. Its quite a simple feat to accomplish.
[Boeing: Dammit!]
[Host, you might as well publicize the calculation formulas and material requirements. Give Boeing a swift and painless death.]
[Lololol]
After pausing slightly and giving his audience some time to think, Chen Yu continued, Everyone should now understand what the electromagnetic force field is. Meanwhile, the EI Force Field is a more powerful version of Boeings electromagnetic force field. With the use of space-overlapping technology, it can isolate all forms of attacks outside the force field in a more efficient, accurate, and extreme manner. It also allows humans to live in any dangerous environment at will.
For example, with the EI Force Field, humans can survive in space, the deep sea, the inner layers of planets, or the middle layers of stars. Of course, it is still impossible for humans to approach the inner layers of stars, neutron stars, and black holes, even with the EI Force Field. The spatial distortions in these environments are incredibly intense. These spatial distortions will cause the EI Force Fields overlapping space to grow chaotic, which will, in turn, turn the humans inside it into minced meat.
Alright, thats it for this products introduction. Now, lets enter the livestreams next phase: practical application. We will test the limits of the EI Force Fields performance.
Oh, by the way, this metal tube in my hand is actually a finger sleeve, and it is used to connect with the users impulse signals. The spacecraft I reviewed during the previous episode is also controlled using impulse signals. However, as the Type-R Spacecraft is a product from the year 6877, it can establish a wireless connection with the human brain. The EI Force Field, which is from 6105, is incapable of such a function.
Through this difference, we can also see the pace of human civilizations technological progress in the future.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his middle finger at the camera and activated the EI Force Field.
Boom!
Once more, the electromagnetic force collided with the air, dust, and light surrounding Chen Yu, the friction between them generating a dazzling array of lights.
After the bright lights disappeared, Chen Yu looked toward Little Peach, who appeared to be in a daze, and said, There is only one finger sleeve, and it can only create a protective cover centered around me. So, I cant bring you along with the review. Just wait for me here.
W-What if something dangerous happens?
I am the safest person on Earth right now.
Okay, then, Little Peach said regretfully. In any case, please take care of your safety, Mr. Peach.
What should you be calling me?
D-Daddy
Good girl.
[?!]
[This information is too much to process.]
[Is he her real father, or is he]
[My goddess has been corrupted.]
[Hello, father-in-law.]
[Did nobody realize that the host gave us a middle finger just now?]
After waving his hand triumphantly, Chen Yu urged the force field to interact with the air. The next moment, he flew out of the opened window like a sharp arrow.
The floating camera also followed closely after him.
Whoosh
After flying ten kilometers away from the floating castle, Chen Yu came to an abrupt stop.
Flying with this force field is much faster than flying with the protective suits plasma engine. In an atmospheric environment, I can easily reach ten times the speed of sound. Strangely, though, despite moving at such a speed, I did not hear a sonic boom occurring. I wonder whats the principle behind this?
Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu raised his middle finger once more and said, Compared to the Full-coverage Special Protective Suit, the EI Force Field has a much more excellent protective performance. Hence, it would be boring if we were to test it using conventional methods. If were going to test its limits, we should go big.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his wrist and swiped his finger across his watch. After locating his private chat window with NASA, he asked, Hey, are you watching the livestream? Help me contact the American military.
[NASA: W-What are you trying to do?]
Do you have nukes? Give me one.
[NASA: ]
On second thought, give me a couple more.
Chapter 348 - Give Me a Couple
Chapter 348 C Give Me a Couple
Do you have nukes? Give me one, Chen Yu said as he stretched out a finger.
However, immediately afterward, he pondered for a moment before stretching out all five fingers and saying, On second thought, give me a couple more.
[Erm]
[Nani?!]
[Just listen to what hes saying. Are these even words a human is supposed to say?]
[These are the words of Wolverine.]
[Do you know what an international superstar is? ( ????)]
[Prepare to watch a nuclear explosion comedy!]
[How can you die peacefully if you do this?]
America, NASA Headquarters, Directors office:
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, NASAs director instantly broke out in cold sweat. He then stiffly grabbed the microphone in front of him and hesitated for a long time before shouting, Contact the higher-ups immediately! Assistant, reply to Transdimensionals UP and tell him that nukes are too dangerous., Advise him to calm down.
The assistant, who was seated nearby, swiftly typed away at his keyboard.
[NASA: Mr. Chen, nuclear bombs carry too much danger. Our director advises you to calm down.]
What the? Chen Yu couldnt help but be stunned when he saw the text reply. He then looked toward the camera and asked, Whos your director? It seems hes quite amazing?
The director: ?
NASAs former director and present assistant translated, He asks who you are.
The director: ??
Director, how should I reply? the assistant asked.
Inside the enclosed office, the two other full-time translators both had their heads lowered, pretending to have heard nothing.
Tell him that it doesnt matter who I am. Advise him not to have any ideas about nukes. They are huge trouble.
Yes, sir.
The assistant nodded and quickly typed a reply.
[NASA: Our director says that it doesnt matter who he is. He advises you not to get involved with nukes. Dont get into trouble.]
I-Is this the aura of a global hegemon? Chen Yu couldnt help but be stunned by the reply.
After a moment of silence, he asked in a strange tone, Is there a problem with your brains?
The UP asks if there is a problem with our brains, the assistant translated. How should I respond?
The director also couldnt help but fall into a bewildered state. Who is he talking to?
[NASA: Who do you think youre talking to?]
Chen Yu: ???
In the distant Pacific Ocean
Chen Yu was at a loss for words when he read the message displayed on his watch.
Why are they using such an aggressive tone? Did they grab onto my weakness or something? Or have they uncovered my identity already? Have they grown fearless after knowing they have something to fall back on?
His face filled with uncertainty, he swiped his finger across his watch and found the private conversation room named Chinese Government. He then typed a message through the conversation room.
[Chen Yu: Has there been any movement from America recently?]
[Chinese Government: Dear Mr. Chen, may I know which aspect you are referring to?]
[Chen Yu: Hmm Mainly in terms of their attitude?]
After a half-minute pause, the Chinese Government gave a reply.
[Chinese Government: Apologies, but we do not understand what you mean. Can you be more detailed?]
[Chen Yu: I contacted Americas NASA just now to borrow a few nukes to play around with, but NASAs director scolded me in return.]
[Chinese Government: Impossible! Mr. Chen, is there perhaps a misunderstanding? There is some degree of difference between our culture and Americas culture.]
[Chen Yu: Ill send you our conversation log.]
After tapping on his watchs screen several times, Chen Yu took screenshots of his full conversation with NASA and sent them to the Chinese Government.
Another half a minute later
[Chinese Government: Mr. Chen, we are similarly shocked by this incident and strongly condemn it. However, this certainly does not represent the American Governments stance, so please do not worry. We are currently communicating with the other party and will certainly give you a satisfactory answer. If your livestream requires nuclear bombs as a prop, China can be of assistance.]
[Chen Yu: Okay. Ill have to trouble you with it, then.]
[Chinese Government: You are welcome.]
After exiting the livestreams private messaging interface, Chen Yu faced the camera and shrugged, saying, Sorry; a small interlude happened. However, its just a minor detail, so everyone doesnt need to pay attention to it. After communicating with the relevant parties, I have successfully borrowed some nukes, so we can start testing the EI Force Field now. However, to avoid creating radiation pollution on Earth, Ive decided to set the detonation site on Mars. We can detonate them without worry there.
[How exciting!]
[Explosion is art!]
[Venus has a higher atmospheric pressure. Wouldnt the nukes be more lethal if they are detonated there?]
[Can you come to our village to conduct your experiment? Many of the elderly in our village has never seen you before. They cant see clearly through the screen, either.]
[You really are the hope of the village!]
[Mars has left the livestream room while cursing.]
Under the gaze of his 500 million viewers, Chen Yu flew back to the Headmasters Towers main hall and descended before the Interstellar Portal.
Daddy, youre back! Is the livestream over already? Little Peach asked as she approached Chen Yu excitedly.
Dont come close to me. Its dangerous to be near the EI Force Field, Chen Yu said, stopping Little Peach from coming into contact with the EI Force Field. While manipulating the Interstellar Portal, he continued, The livestream hasnt ended yet. I need a few more hours at the very least. Im going to collect the necessary props now, so Ill be taking the portal away.
Can I follow, Daddy?
No.
After saying so, Chen Yu entered the address given to him by the Chinese Government and established the spatial link. He then stepped through the portal without hesitation, arriving in a fully-enclosed hall.
Greetings, Mr. Chen. I am the Commander of Russias Strategic Strike Divisions Second Regiment. The thing youve requested for is here, a robust man standing inside the hall said as he pointed to his back. The activation method is currently being changed, so please wait a moment. It will be ready right away.
Mhm.
Chen Yu nodded. He then powered down the EI Force Field, stepped forward, and caressed the nuclear warhead ahead of him.
The warheads exterior felt exceptionally cold to his touch. Yet, it also filled him with an indescribable sense of power when he touched it.
This was the foundation of mankind in the 21st century.
Although weapons carried great danger, they also served as the most crucial support for a civilizations survival. Meanwhile, this held true for all civilizations.
Is this the only one?
There is also a hydrogen bomb being transported. It is expected to arrive in another five minutes, the Russian commander said. There are also white phosphorus bombs, neutron bombs, and hydrogen uranium bombs in another base. You shouldve received its address as well.
I did, but no rush. Ill take them one by one.
Shortly afterward, a few electric-powered carts entered the hall and stopped before Chen Yu. A group of soldiers then jumped off the carts and used a small lifting device to lift a warhead off one of the carts.
Mr. Chen, the warhead has arrived, the Russian commander said as he accepted two controllers from an engineer. He then handed the controllers to Chen Yu and said, These are their detonators. The white one is for the nuclear bomb, while the red one is for the hydrogen bomb. Please remember not to mix them up. Most of the two bombs protective equipment has been disassembled already. Once you press the detonators, they will explode in ten seconds.
Understood, Chen Yu responded as he accepted the detonators. Scrutinizing the hydrogen bomb that reached up to his waist even when positioned horizontally against the ground, he commented, Its a lot bigger than I expected.
Yes. Nodding, the Russian commander said, Modern thermonuclear weapons contain more electronic components such as sensing facilities, navigation and positioning devices, and computing systems, so they are generally larger in size. This does not include the missile launch systems.
Alright. Thank you for your help, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. Under everyones shocked gazes, Chen Yu effortlessly picked up the hydrogen bomb that weighed over 500 kilograms and said, Ill be taking the warhead away now. If it ends up being a dud, Ill send it back to you.
T-That wont be necessary. In the case of unknown failures occurring, you can just leave them on Mars
Two minutes later, the Interstellar Portal finished establishing a spatial link.
While carrying the thermonuclear warhead, Chen Yu appeared on the sandy surface of Mars.
Boom!
The thermonuclear warhead landed on the ground with a muffled noise.
Stretching his slightly sore waist, Chen Yu faced the camera and raised the red detonator.
Friends in the livestream rooms, Ive made you wait. Now, let us start testing the products performance. Before we start, though, I have to remind everyone that this experiment is considerably dangerous, so please do not try this at home.
After saying so, without giving his audience any time to react, Chen Yu decisively pushed down on the detonator! Immediately afterward, he spread out his arms and shouted excitedly, Which boy doesnt dream of getting nuked?
Chapter 349 - We’re Screwed!
Chapter 349 C Were Screwed!
Mars, on a hill made out of red sand:
After placing down the heavy warhead, Chen Yu pressed down on the detonator. He then spread out his arms and looked at the shining sun in the sky while shouting, Which boy doesnt dream of getting nuked?
[Only you.]
[Only you.]
[Only you. +1]
[+1388***4888. (Add me for clips)]
Counting down from eight, seven, six
The floating camera rapidly rose into the air, giving the livestreams audience a panoramic view of the area. Very quickly, Chen Yus figure, which was enveloped by the EI Force Field, became insignificantly small.
Four.
Three
The bullet comments gradually stopped appearing.
Although there were many nuclear detonation videos on the internet, watching a nuclear explosion live was still something the vast majority of the livestreams viewers had never experienced before. So, everyone was naturally engrossed in the upcoming scene.
In fact, some professionals specialized in nuclear weaponry had never gotten the opportunity to personally witness a nuclear explosion, either.
After all, since the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treatys enactment in 1996, nuclear tests had been banned in all environments.
Two.
One
The countdown ended, yet the thermonuclear warhead remained motionless.
Chen Yu:
A whirl of sand and dust blew past the area, creating a rather depressing scene for everyone to see.
Um
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu looked at the time displayed on his watch. Is Earths ten seconds different from Marss ten seconds?
[UP, your mouth really knows how to jinx things.]
[Its over. Its a dud.]
[Theoretically, Earths ten seconds really isnt equivalent to Marss ten seconds.]
[All firecrackers face such a problem. If the manufacturer isnt qualified, its normal for the firecracker to choke. Turn off that whats-it-called force field and give the firecracker a pat with your hand.]
[Its IP Force Field.]
[Isnt it AV Force Field?]
Chen Yu stood in place waiting for half a minute. After verifying that the hydrogen bomb was a dud, he turned to look at the distant Interstellar Portal.
With his exceptional vision, he could clearly see the Russian commander waving at him desperately.
What? You want me to bring the warhead back for repairs? Chen Yu asked.
!!
Shocked by Chen Yus words, the Russian commander began shaking his head even more frantically.
What a scaredy-cat. Its not like itll hurt, so whats there to be afraid of?
Clicking his tongue, Chen Yu circled around the bomb a few times. After failing to find any surface problems with the bomb, he flew back to the portal and returned to Earth.
Thud.
Chen Yu turned off the EI Force Field, his feet landing steadily on the ground. He then pulled out the red detonator and asked, Is there a problem with the detonator?
One of the engineers on-site hurriedly accepted the detonator and inspected it. He then shook his head and said, Its already in an activated state, so we can eliminate the possibility of the remote controller being the cause.
Is the signal unstable?
The controller uses short-frequency electrical signals. Mars doesnt have a strong magnetic field, either. So, the signal should be stable. Moreover, even if there is interference, it shouldnt affect the activation at such a short distance.
Whats the cause, then?
I dont know. The Russian engineer shrugged.
After sending a glance at the floating camera that had caught up to him, Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before picking up the atomic bomb. If the big one is jammed, Ill detonate the small one first. If this one detonates successfully, can it cause the other one to detonate as well?
No. The engineer shook his head without hesitation. The detonation of nuclear weapons requires precise event coordination. Without these events, the chain reaction cant start, and the bomb will not explode. Among the many bombs in existence, nuclear bombs have always been the safest. Hence, aside from using the activation trigger, it is almost impossible for one to detonate a nuclear bomb.
Understood. Ill blow this up, then.
After saying so, Chen Yu put some strength into his back and carried the nuclear warhead on his shoulder. He then boldly strode toward the portal, the scene appearing comedic no matter how one looked at it
However, before Chen Yu could even move one foot through the spatial film, his keen eyes suddenly noticed a white light appearing in the distance. Surprised, he hurriedly retrieved his extended leg.
Subsequently, the white light started growing brighter at a terrifying speed. In no time at all, the Martian surface beyond the portal looked as if it had turned into the surface of a star. And despite the spatial film having filtered out a significant portion of the lights luminosity, it was still impossible for anyone to look at the light directly.
It exploded! The warhead exploded!
Chen Yus fear lasted only a quarter of a second. Immediately afterward, he tossed the warhead on his shoulder aside without hesitation, activated the EI Force Field, and charged through the portal excitedly!
While flying, he shouted, Friends, can you see it? Its a nuclear explosion! Im about to go give it a hug!
[What a crazy line.]
[No comment]
[Are you Godzilla?]
[A man will not let an explosion appear behind him. ( ????)]
[The hosts posture of carrying the warhead just now was pretty cool.]
[Explosion is art!]
[The screen is too bright. Its hurting my eyes.]
Rumble, rumble
Half a second later, as Chen Yu moved closer to the explosions epicenter, the deafening sound of the blast finally reached him.
The violent turbulence currently present in the air could easily tear a human being into shreds. Even when looking through the EI Force Field, all Chen Yu could see was a field of white ahead of him.
As for the floating camera flying high up in the air, it could get a clear shot of the overall situation.
That, was a gigantic, red mushroom cloud that was rapidly rising into the air!
Flames and lightning came together to paint a picture using the colors of red, white, blue, gray, and black, and the resulting picture was beautiful beyond words.
The earth was falling apart.
The sky was being torn apart.
Rings of white clouds expanded and shrunk.
The ultimate power of mankind in the 21st century was displayed on Mars for the first time.
Rumble, rumble
In the distant Earth, everyone who was watching the livestream shuddered simultaneously.
[Crap~]
[Hoo!]
[Screenshot!]
[This really is the magic of nature.]
[Every time I see a video of a nuclear explosion, I get the feeling that human beings are not far away from extinction. After watching this livestream, this premonition has grown even stronger.]
[Is there anyone still present on the scene?]
[Is the portal okay?]
[Mars: Do you know why I didnt give birth to life now? Fuck!]
[I wonder how many Hiroshima bombs that explosion is equivalent to.]
[Maybe 2333.][1]
[! (Awesome!)]
[gHҊƤߤ. (I really want to see it with my own eyes.)]
At the same time, inside the spacecraft positioned in Marss high orbit
The Chinese pilot, who was currently strapped to his seat and resting, instinctively opened his eyes and looked out the window in a daze.
Uh?
Isnt that a nuclear explosion
After mumbling in a hoarse voice, the pilot yawned and shut his eyes again to rest.
What the?! A nuclear explosion?!
The pilot hurriedly untied his seat belt, got up from his seat, and leaned against the window. When he stared at the constantly diffusing red circle on Marss surface, he shuddered involuntarily.
The pilot pressed the communication button that connected the cockpit with the China Aerospace Headquarters on Earth with a trembling hand. He then shouted in a hoarse voice, Were screwed!
Chapter 350 - Diving into Jupiter (1)
Chapter 350 C Diving into Jupiter (1)
The mushroom cloud gradually dissipated.
The hydrogen nuclear fusion was over.
The sand dune that the explosion had taken place at had now transformed into a crater that had an 80-meter depth and 3,000-meter diameter.
[This is too exciting. The special effects are wonderful. ( ????)]
[Wheres the host? Did he get blasted away?]
[Everyone, time to dismiss. The shows over.]
[There are bound to be some nuclear bombs willing to go off for just one person.]
Whoosh
Amidst the flood of bullet comments, Chen Yu slowly climbed out from the bottom of the pit.
After taking a look at his surroundings, he hooked his finger at the camera. Once the camera captured his figure, he said, Everyone, do you know how I feel right now?
To put it simply, I feel bored.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu took a look at the contents of the bullet comments and frowned. You guys mustve gotten an exciting show watching from the outside, right? However, the only thing I got to see from inside the force field is light and nothing else. After the white light disappeared, what I saw next was dense, black smoke. I did not feel any pressure coming from outside the force field throughout the entire process.
To use a simple analogy, it feels as if Im watching a light show that covers 360 degrees. Not only is it boring, but it also hurts my eyes. The only thing interesting I managed to see is the melting quartz layer at the bottom of the pit, which gives off a beautiful reflection.
Manipulating the force field, Chen Yu flew back toward the Interstellar Portal while simultaneously talking about his terrible experience. Through this test, we can see that the EI Force Field possesses excellent performance. It is in a completely different class compared to the protective suit. The force field basically seals me in an independent space. No matter how high the temperature and atmospheric pressure outside becomes, I will not receive any harm.
It seems that rather than focusing on materials, which have obvious temperature and pressure limitations, the development of future technology is more focused on magnetism and space. Scientists on Earth, you should take note of this point and start changing your course. This is also one of the benefits that come with me reviewing future technology.
Very quickly, Chen Yu arrived back at the Interstellar Portal. After carefully inspecting the metal arch, he nodded and said, The portal is perfectly intact. This should be a type of spatial manipulation, right? I recall that the Interstellar Portal was a product from the year 3800. It seems humans have roughly grasped the ability to manipulate space near the end of the fourth millennium
[As a fan whos been following you since your first episode, I say: The development of humanitys science and technology is truly rapid.]
[A question suddenly came to my mind. Since humans of the 69th century already have spaceships capable of moving at 5,000 times the speed of light, wouldnt it be easy for them to colonize the entire Milky Way? Does this mean we will wage war with alien civilizations in the future?]
[Maybe we are currently being observed by aliens in virtual reality, and everything we see now is fake.]
[There is also the possibility that aside from yourself, everything else in this world is fake.]
[Stop spouting nonsense. Im getting scared.]
[From the moment I laid on the bed and found that I could masturbate to even Guo Degang, I knew that the world was fake]
Leaving the floating camera on Mars and stepping through the portal, Chen Yu returned to the land of Russia. He then turned off the force field and said to the crowd before him, The EI Force Field will not carry any radioactive residues. However, I cant say the same for the camera. Give me a Geiger counter or something similar. Ill go check it.
Take this. An engineer handed a hand-held tool that had been prepared beforehand to Chen Yu. It is very simple to use. Press this trigger, and the small screen will display a value. If the value exceeds 0.8uSv/h, it proves that the camera is very dangerous and requires professional treatment.
OK.
After accepting the measuring instrument, Chen Yu had the crowd disperse and controlled the floating camera to fly through the portal. He then aimed the device at the camera and pulled the trigger.
Click.
Click, click
Accompanied by the sound of gears turning, a line of numbers appeared on the screen.
0.1uSv/h
Its only 0.1, Chen Yu said to the engineer.
Its safe, the engineer said, breathing out a sigh of relief.
It seems a layer of protection has been added to the cameras surface. I got worried for nothing. Tossing the measuring instrument aside, Chen Yu adjusted the camera and briefly concluded, As everyone can see, the EI Force Fields protective capabilities are excellent. Even nuclear weapons are incapable of harming it. In that case, there is no need to continue testing it with other bombs such as atomic bombs, white phosphorus bombs, and neutron bombs. Doing so would only be a waste of time. Its best if we proceed to the main dish instead.
After saying so, Chen Yu changed the coordinates to the spatial link from Marss surface to the outside of Jupiters atmosphere.
Buzz!
The next moment, the scene inside the metal arch changed.
Day and night were instantly reversed.
Everyone, let us meet again if fate wills it.
After waving goodbye to the Russian workers, Chen Yu activated the EI Force Field, passed through the spatial film and departed from Earth once more.
Friends in front of the screen, we have returned to this place again
Jupiter.
Above him was endless darkness.
Below him was a yellow planet.
Standing between these two different spaces, Chen Yu could feel the universes mystery and depth.
During the fourth official livestream, I said that it was still impossible to dive deep into gas giants with only the 24th centurys technology. Now, a year has gone by, and I have received technology from the 62nd century. The time to dive deep into Jupiter has also finally arrived.
After saying so, Chen Yu grabbed the floating camera and directed it to show his audience the scene below him.
Like on his first visit, the world beneath him was still a planet composed of patches of flowing, golden clouds.
Under the high-speed and uneven rotation of the gaseous planet, the flowing clouds are stretched into long belts. Meanwhile, these belts intertwined with each other to form dense spots that gave off a daunting appearance.
Jupiter was once recognized by humans as the most beautiful gaseous planet.
However, when looking at the planet up close in person, Chen Yu found that the planet simply didnt fit the word beautiful.
Instead, this was a strange, abyssal planet that was full of death and fear.
Meanwhile, on this very day, he would dive deep into this planet and go straight to its core, revealing all of its secrets to humanity
Counting down from three, two
[One!!!]
[111]
[Charge!]
[For the glory of Stormwind! Long live the horde!]
[??]
[Wheres the battle music?]
One!
When the countdown ended, Chen Yu shot forth like a bolt of lightning, accelerating decisively toward Jupiters iconic Red Spot!
Battle music! Start!
(Ive just been in this place before)
(Higher on the street)
(And I know its my time to go)
When Chen Yus charge began, Deja Vu began playing in the livestreams background once more, driving the hormones and adrenaline of the livestreams 540 million viewers!
Chapter 351 - Diving into Jupiter (2)
Chapter 351 C Diving into Jupiter (2)
Eight thousand kilometers.
One thousand kilometers.
Five hundred kilometers
Under the double acceleration of gravity and the EI Force Field, Chen Yu dove toward Jupiters Great Red Spot like a shooting star.
Meanwhile, as Chen Yu moved increasingly closer to the planets surface, the intersecting layers of atmosphere gradually gave off a disgusting greasy feeling.
From Chen Yus perspective, it looked as if the EI Force Field brushing against something that was a mix of crude oil and plant oil.
Whoosh
The thick, white ammonia clouds rubbing against the force field also generated strange noises resembling electric currents.
Half a minute later, Chen Yu pierced through the layer of white clouds, and the light surrounding him began dimming rapidly.
Perhaps it is because of the EI Force Field shielding me from the planets gravity, or perhaps it is because of my rapid acceleration downward, but unlike my last visit, I dont feel Jupiters gravity pulling at me this time. There is no discomfort to my body at all. This time, I should be able to reach Jupiters core smoothly.
Adjusting his bodys position and facing the camera, Chen Yu said, My current speed is 84,000 kilometers per hour, which is approximately 23 kilometers per second. It is roughly 60 to 70 times the speed of sound. This is also the EI Force Fields current top speed. If we were in a vacuum space, it might be able to move quicker. For this reason, we can conclude the force fields actual acceleration performance test. Next, we will test its heat resistance and compression resistance.
The radiation coming from Jupiter was incredibly powerful. All sorts of dangerous rays collided with the magnetic field covering Chen Yu, their collision creating a faint, green aurora. In addition, this aurora continuously extended as Chen Yu descended. From the cameras perspective, it was an unexpectedly beautiful phenomenon.
By the time Chen Yu descended to a low altitude of just 200 kilometers, the sun had disappeared entirely from his vision. If not for the aurora around him and the cameras own light source, he wouldve been enveloped in complete darkness.
I am still surrounded by ammonia clouds. According to the cameras data, the surrounding temperature is minus 156C, Chen Yu said while looking at the data displayed on his watch. One thing worth mentioning is that the EI Force Field doesnt seem to have any friction with the atmosphere. Hence, the collision between the two doesnt generate much heat, either. In comparison, when I tried diving into Jupiter while wearing the protective suit, the suits surface temperature exceeded 2,000C.
[Take off your suit and be cremated on the spot!]
[Which boy wouldnt want to try being cremated at 2,000C?]
[Which boy wouldnt want to try a boy?]
[Lololol]
[My megalophobia is giving me an uncomfortable feeling.]
I still havent actually entered the Great Red Spots anticyclonic storm, yet the wind speed around me has already exceeded 490 kilometers per hour! Jupiter is indeed the fastest rotating planet in the solar system. In comparison, Earth takes more than twice the time to make a single rotation.
Amidst his explanation, Chen Yu slowly passed through the white ammonia clouds and entered the Great Red Spot for the second time.
The reddish-brown storm composed of ammonium hydride, ammonium sulfide, and red phosphide interacted with the aurora, rendering a more fascinating halo around the force field.
From the audiences perspective, Chen Yus visit to Jupiter this time was basically a near-perfect visual feast.
The wind speed around me has exceeded 680 kilometers per hour. Even the speed of a B12 wind on Earth is only one-sixth the speed of the Great Red Spots storm. However, I still have yet to feel any discomfort or shaking thanks to the force fields protection. This is also within expecta
Boom!
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly came from his right side!
Chen Yu snapped his head toward the source of the explosion. What entered his eyes immediately was a dazzling lightning bolt hundreds of meters wide and extending across the entire horizon.
Jovian lightning!
One of the most lethal and extreme natural phenomena found in Jupiters atmosphere.
We meet again. Turning back toward the camera, Chen Yu said briskly, Previously, I got scared off by this lightning. Facts have also proven that I made an incredibly wise decision. After returning home, I went out of my way to look deeper into Jupiter. As a result, I found out that the lightning bolts found in Jupiters Great Red Spot are 10,000 times stronger than the lightning bolts found on Earth. Even Pikachu would be turned into ashes if it came into contact with one of these lightning bolts. Moreover, the deeper you travel into the Great Red Spot, the more frequent the lightning bolts would strike. At the deepest regions, up to four lightning bolts can strike every second!
However, it doesnt matter now. Even nuclear bombs cant harm the EI, let alone mere voltages.
Sure enough, just like Chen Yu said, as he continued traveling deeper into the Great Red Spot, the frequency at which lightning strikes occurred around him continuously increased, the deafening thunder ringing ceaselessly by his ears. Some of the lightning bolts even struck the EI Force Field directly, though they failed to cause any harm to Chen Yu.
If the first episode was terrific, the audience would take the subsequent episodes for granted.
However, if the first episode was weak, the subsequent episodes development would definitely garner shock and awe.
It would seem that everything in the universe adopted this principle.
This was even more so for technology.
My surrounding temperature has increased to 1,200C.
Half a minute later, Chen Yu exited the bullet comment interface and inspected the cameras data. The atmospheric pressure is even more terrifying. The pressure at my location is already 1,055 times that of the atmosphere on Earths surface. Whether you are Batman, Spiderman, or Hulk, youll be squashed into a pancake if you come here.
[Thats why Marvels Iron Man is the best!]
[This proves that poor people can never outplay the rich. :)]
[If such an amazing product is sent just for the sake of ensuring the hosts safety in the next official livestream What the heck is the next episodes product going to be?]
The subsequent dive into Jupiter gradually became boring.
The aurora, lightning, and colorful clouds all disappeared.
The EI Force Fields speed of descent also gradually slowed down.
The reason for this change was because the atmospheric concentration had already reached a level beyond imagination, and the resistance it created was incredibly powerful.
At this time, it is more appropriate to say that I am swimming than flying. Having the camera move within ten meters of him, Chen Yu pointed at the objects outside and said, These things outside are neither in a gaseous state or liquid state. Instead, they hover between the two states. Scientifically, they are known as supercritical fluids.
These kinds of substances have a very special property, and that is the fact that they can reach incredibly high temperatures. For example, my current surrounding temperature has already reached 6,200C. It is comparable to the temperature on the suns surface. The atmospheric pressure here has even reached two million times the atmospheric pressure on Earths surface! I really cannot imagine any kind of physical material having the ability to endure such an extreme environment.
[Scary.]
[Scary. +1]
[Brothers, lets spam the screen with Scary!]
After Chen Yu continued diving for another ten minutes or so, the metal hydrogen surrounding him began to form a dense liquid. However, due to the EI Force Fields powerful performance, he could still continue advancing downward. While enduring the immeasurable pressure, the EI Force Field tore through layer after layer of liquid and semi-solids
Finally, Chen Yu had reached the outer periphery of Jupiters inner corea vast ocean of metal!
Up, down, left, and right, every direction he looked at was coated in a silvery-white liquid that was tumbling and flowing.
The temperature of this metallic oceans surface exceeded 10,000C.
[How spectacular]
[UP, see if there is any life in there.]
[Theres no way organic matter can exist in such an environment.]
[It feels like I am watching a documentary.]
[If you can perish in this ocean before your death bed, it will definitely be a romantic death.]
Lets stop here.
Urging the force field to stop, Chen Yu spoke to his watch, We have already uncovered all of Jupiters secrets. If we continue downward, we will only fight a solid core made of diamonds. Meanwhile, traversing through solid matter will be a much slower process than traversing through Jupiters atmosphere. We might not even reach the core by nightfall.
Time is limited. To conserve our energy and experience something more exciting, we should start heading back. Once were back, we can dive into our next and final target
The sun.
Chapter 352 - Eleventh Official Livestream Over
Chapter 352 C Eleventh Official Livestream Over
Solar system, Jupiters high orbit:
After ascending for 38 minutes consecutively, Chen Yu finally came out from Jupiters inner core and arrived back at the Interstellar Portal.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu took a look at the numbers displayed on his watch. Sure enough, the livestreams original viewer count of 540 million had fallen by more than half, leaving only a little over 200 million people left in the various livestream rooms.
Once the audiences scale reached a certain magnitude, any level of discomfort displayed in the livestream would result in extreme reactions.
Not to mention, Chen Yus departure from Jupiter had been a really tedious process. Hence, it was normal for some audiences to leave.
After all, if the world still remained alive, people would still have other priorities they needed to take care of, such as watching drama shows, playing games, working, and such. Not everybody would be willing to invest a significant portion of their time in watching a dull livestream, even if the initial portion of the livestream was incredibly shocking.
Were finally out of Jupiter. Lowering his wrist, Chen Yu looked at the yellow planet under his feet and exclaimed, It really is a massive planet. Even at the EI Force Fields top speed, it still took me over half an hour to get out of it. Believe me when I say that I will never be coming back to this terrible place again.
I also advise everyone not to let your curiosity overwhelm you and visit Jupiter just to suffer. Isnt it much better to say at home?
After saying so, Chen Yu manipulated the Interstellar Portals console. After waiting for the spatial link to be established, he flew through the portal without hesitation and arrived on the suns surface.
Compared to Jupiter, the sun was much more massive.
After the floating camera filters out most of the light, a sea of roaring flames appeared in front of everyones eyes.
The sea of flames rolled, weltered, expanded, and exploded
The sea of flames was so large that it could engulf the entire Earth!
Instantly, the sun changed everyones perception of it being a gentle and calm star. It thoroughly displayed its ferociousness as a middle-aged main-sequence star.
[Awesome!]
[Im certain of it now. Aside from Earth, every other place in the solar system is hell.]
[Charge into it! Charge into it!]
[What a miscalculation. The UP shouldve brought a few white mice and toss them onto the suns surface to conduct an experiment.]
[Elizabeth Rat: ???]
[At such a close distance to the sun, the mice would be torn to shreds by light radiation before it could even begin falling. What makes the sun powerful isnt its temperature, but its absurd energy output instead.]
After some time had passed, Chen Yu recovered from his shock and smacked his lips. Although I cant see anything clearly from inside the force field, I can sense the power coming from the sun. However, no matter how powerful a ball it is, I will be entering its body today. Thinking over it now, it seems Im a little more awesome than the sun
Anyway, were tight for time. Ill stop with the blabbering and get straight to the point.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu moved his slightly stiff shoulder joints. He then urged the force field and shot downward like a bolt of lightning!
Inside the livestream rooms, the song Deja vu began playing once more.
However
The viewing experience that followed was a complete bust.
Aside from white light, the only other thing captured by the camera was white light. There were no other colors to be seen.
Moreover, as Chen Yu wasnt one of the decent livestreamers who were capable of turning even the dullest of topics interesting, the audiences excitement vanished instantly.
Hence, ten minutes after Chen Yu began diving into the sun, his viewership began plummeting rapidly. Even Chen Yu himself began losing interest, and he ended up choosing to turn around and exit the sun.
As the solar systems central celestial body, the sun occupies more than 99% of the total mass found in the solar system. However, three-quarters of this mass is made up of hydrogen. So, according to human aesthetics, the suns body is too monotonous. It lacks variety and is far from being a comparison to the colorful Venus.
After taking a look at the time, Chen Yu said, Its not even noon yet. Since well be skipping the sun, lets head to Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune to continue the livestream.
[Host, if youre that awesome, fly your spaceship to Tabbys Star and catch a few aliens!]
[That will definitely be an unprecedented journey!]
Afterward, just like he said, Chen Yu led his audience on a tour around Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Saturn, like Jupiter, had its atmosphere mainly composed of hydrogen and helium.
The outermost layer of the planet was a ring system composed of tiny ice particles and rocks of various sizes. The planets outer layer was also shrouded in white ammonia clouds like Jupiter. As for Saturns middle layer, it was significantly different compared to Jupiters middle layer. The atmosphere here was composed of black clouds, and the lightning that struck here was colored in a strange yellow. When Chen Yu arrived at the inner layer, though, he was greeted by a sea of liquefied hydrogen and helium, similar to what he encountered at Jupiters inner layer.
As for Uranus and Neptune, both looked roughly the same as Jupiter and Saturn. The only differences worth mentioning were that Uranuss middle layer was a flowing sea of ice, and Neptunes outer layer contained a lot of methane.
Meanwhile, as expected, none of the four gaseous planets showed any signs of housing life. And even if there were, they wouldnt be in a form that humans could presently understand.
Returning to the Interstellar Portals side, Chen Yu hovered in space and faced the camera. After sorting out the words in his mind, he said, At this point, we have already explored all the iconic celestial bodies in the solar system. We have also seen the EI Force Fields performance in action. Unboxing, introduction, and actual testing; we have gone through all the phases without missing a single one. In that case, that will be it for todays livestream.
I cannot help but admit that after reaching the seventh millennium, technologys development is becoming increasingly unfathomable for us modern humans. Take the EI Force Field, for example. In my opinion, it is more like a magical spell than science. Through this force field, we can foresee that more and more such products will make an appearance on the livestream in the future.
The veteran viewers who have watched my past livestreams should be able to guess that todays livestream is merely a small interlude. The reason why I have received a protective-type product is to ensure my safety for the next official livestream.
Hence, while I have no idea what the next product is going to be, I am certain it wont disappoint. Otherwise, there wouldnt be a need to go to such lengths to ensure my safety. So, everyone, please look forward to next months exciting livestream.
Lastly, I would like to thank the Mutual Attack Technology Group for supplying the EI Force Field to me. I would also like to thank everyone who has experienced this journey around the solar system together with me.
Raising both his thumbs, Chen Yu slowly flew backward into the portal.
This has been Transdimensional Reviews eleventh official livestream!
Let us meet again next month!
Chapter 353 - Daily Life, Warm Family (1)
Chapter 353 C Daily Life, Warm Family (1)
Ugh
After waking up from her slumber, Chen Yike stretched her waist and sat up on her bed. She then stared at the empty space in front of her drowsily for some time before realization suddenly dawned upon her, and she hurriedly reached for her phone.
Its three oclock?! Its over! Its over! Im too late
Chen Yike hurriedly opened Bilibilis application and visited Transdimensional Reviews homepage. When she saw that todays livestream had ended, she immediately slumped down onto her bed.
I overslept again! Why do I always get so sleepy whenever a livestream is coming up?!
After feeling depressed for a while, Chen Yike tossed her phone away and picked up the notebook on the piano stand. She then drew a big, red cross on the words Mission 005, which represented another failure in her Expose My Elder Brother operation.
This doesnt make sense. I never take naps during the day
Puzzled by the situation, Chen Yike eventually gave up on figuring out the reason for her sleepiness. She then jumped out of her bed, stood in front of the vanity mirror, and straightened her hair. Afterward, she turned around to leave her room.
However, just as her hand had come into contact with the doorknob, she looked back to the mirror, and an imaginary lightbulb appeared above her head.
Thats right! Wouldnt I know why if I get a camera?
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yike promptly grabbed her phone and clicked into her Taobao[1] application. After searching for the words micro surveillance camera, she quickly found a suitable product.
Desk Lamp-Type Micro Camera!
The product came in the form of an ordinary desk lamp, and it had a hidden micro camera that could capture videos at 720p resolution. The camera could also be controlled wirelessly using a mobile application, and it could capture footage for 12 hours consecutively on a full charge.
Perfect.
Chen Yike bought the micro camera without hesitation. She then patted her belly in satisfaction.
Pat! Pat! Pat!
Having just a camera isnt enough. Ill need lockpicking tools, listening-in devices, pepper spray
Leader, Target C has purchased a lot of special items online. This is the list. Please take a look.
Inside the second-floor office of Chinas embassy in America, Big Sis Wu placed a set of documents on the middle-aged team leaders table and said, They are mainly surveillance and monitoring equipment.
Target C Chen Yike? The middle-aged team leader accepted the documents and gave them a brief look. They are all toys for amateurs.
Yes. The target doesnt have any channels to obtain professional equipment from.
What is she doing this for? the middle-aged team leader asked, a sharp glint flashing across his eyes.
Target C is suspicious of Chen Yu. She suspects that her brother is Transdimensionals UP.
Thats it! Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the middle-aged team leader stood up from his seat as his brain began working overtime. This is a wonderful breakthrough! We can use this to our advantage to break out of our current passive situation! We must seize this opportunity!
Do you want to make contact with Target C?
No, thats too crude of a move.
Resting his hands on his back, the middle-aged team leader paced around the room twice before decisively saying, Im returning to China immediately. Youll take my place in the meeting in the Observer Conference Hall tomorrow. Let Little Song make the necessary arrangements.
Understood. Ill contact Secretary Song now.
Afterward, notify staff teams one, two, and four and have them make appointments with the Public Security University and Beijing Universitys professors in the fields of psychology, society, education, psychoanalysis, etc. Have these people gather and meet me at headquarters. The entire process must be conducted at the highest level of confidentiality. Also, report this matter to the higher-ups and request for additional resource and information support.
Understood. Leader, are we going to cultivate Target C?
Mhm. Nodding, the team leader said, Optimize the internet content of her phone and replace some of her schools leaders, teachers, and students. Well create a partially-enclosed environment that is filled with patriotism, friendliness, fairness, and peace for Chen Yike and subtly infect and modify her personality.
Constructing a small society for Chen Yike will be a long and meticulous job.
It is meticulous, but it wont take long. Returning back to his seat, the middle-aged team leader began writing a letter rapidly. It is easy to manipulate the thoughts of middle school students. If the plan is implemented smoothly, it will take, at most, three or four months for her character and personality to match our ideals.
Such as being patriotic, rational, knowledge-seeking, and dedicated, Big Sis Wu said.
Yes. We can then influence Chen Yu through Chen Yike. According to our understanding of Chen Yus psychological portrait, while it might be difficult to affect his personality and ideals, it is still possible to make small adjustments to his tendencies. This is also the only way we can hope to influence Chen Yu now. The technology and strength he currently wields have already reached an overwhelming level.
Understood. Ill get it done right away.
Hold on! Handing a sealed letter to Big Sis Wu, the middle-aged team leader said, This is my signed authorization letter. Encrypt it by fax and deliver it to the Ministry of National Security. Ask for their agents to install some bugs in the equipment Chen Yike purchased. The bugs installed should be crude; maintain Huaqiangbei[2] standards so that Chen Yu doesnt suspect anything even after discovering them.
Yes, sir.
While Chen Yike and the special situation team worked together to plot against Chen Yu, Chen Yu remained wholly ignorant of the matter as he laid on the living room sofa while admiring his little sister jumping up and down before him.
Brother! Where did you hide my phone?! Chen Erke yelled, tears welling up in her eyes as she stamped her feet on the ground.
I already said I dont know. Shrugging, Chen Yu said lazily, Look for it yourself.
He had severely exhausted his stamina during his tour around the solar system, so he did not wish to move even a single muscle now.
You mustve hidden it! After searching the living room a few more times and coming up empty-handed, Chen Erke pounced toward the sofa angrily, wiping her tears and snot onto Chen Yus body.
Crap, can you not be so disgusting?
Return my phone!
Dont touch me! I didnt take your phone!
I already finished my homework! Give it to me!
Finished my ass! The first thing you did after returning home was to look for your phone. I never saw you touching your pen.
I finished it at school.
Whatever. In any case, I dont have your phone. However, if you behave now, your phone might automatically appear.
Argh! All of a sudden, Chen Erke held her head and fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner. I have a fever. I cant Im dying
Heh. Sneering, Chen Yu said, Dont think Ill be fooled twice by the same move.
Is Big Sis having a fever? At this time, the master bedrooms door opened, and Chen Sanke staggered out of the room. While holding two pieces of bread in her hand, she said excitedly, We can toast bread again!
Third Eldest! Go to hell!
You scolded me. Chen Sankes smile instantly vanished.
Ill even beat you if I have to! Chen Erke said as she took on a taekwondo posture. However, although she said those words to Chen Sanke, her eyes were slanted in Chen Yus direction. Dont provoke me. I am no longer an ordinary expert. One punch from me, and you mightah!
As Chen Erke had focused too much of her attention on Chen Yu, she failed to see Chen Sanke rushing up to her. As a result, she ended up eating a flying kick and falling to the ground.
Nice! Beautifully done! Chen Yu cheered. Second Eldest, fight back quickly! Use your Rocket Head Mallet!
Wahh! Chen Erke immediately broke into tears. She then got up from the ground and began fighting with her six-year-old little sister.
Third Eldest! Use your Monstrous Strength Arts! Super Evolution! Chen Yu cheered while stealthily grabbing the yogurt drink Chen Sanke had hidden under the coffee table. After emptying the bottle, he tossed it onto Chen Erkes bed. He then leaned back against the sofa and enjoyed the show before him.
What a peaceful, warm, and happy family.

Three!
Two!
One!
Lowering his head, Chen Yu carefully observed Chen Erke, who was lying motionlessly on the ground. He then picked up Chen Sanke, raised her high up into the air, and shouted, Winner! Sanke!
Chen Sanke: Yay!
Chen Erke:
As the champion, do you have anything you wish to say, Third Eldest?
T-Thank you, CCTV. I am Participant No. 3, Chen Sanke. Thank you, everyone, for giving me your support. (#`O)
Second Eldest, anything you want to say?
I want my phone.
Except for your phone.
It hurts. Sitting up, Chen Erke held the corner of her aching mouth and cried. Ive had enough of this family
After completing his intimate interaction with his little sisters, Chen Yu returned to his room.
Have you finished editing the livestream recording?
Its done. Im still uploading it.
Now that we are on so many broadcasting platforms, uploading the video to all of them should take quite some time, right?
It wont. I just need around 40 minutes more, Little Peach said, shaking her head. I just need to first upload the source file to Bilibilis platform and then transfer it to the other platforms through Bilibilis server. The whole process wont take more than 50 minutes.
You can do that as well? Chen Yu was surprised. Great, great.
Its nothing amazing. After all, I am an excellent network programming robot.
Arent you a romance simulation robot?
Crack.
Little Peach expressionlessly crushed the mouse in her hand.
OK, OK! Im going to the toilet first. You continue working hard. Smiling fawningly, Chen Yu took a few steps back before leaving his room and shutting the door. He then went back to lying on the living rooms sofa while searching for news relating to Transdimensional Review on his phone.
However, he quickly discovered that he didnt even need to type anything in the search bar.
After all, practically everyone on the internet was talking about Transdimensional Review. From forums to Weibo, to Tieba, to chat groups, and even to shopping platforms like Taobao, information on Transdimensional Review could be found on every corner of the internet. If Chen Yu didnt know better, he mightve even thought that the livestream this morning had garnered six billion viewers
The magnifying effect of the internet was fully demonstrated through this incident.
After this wave of deafening propaganda, there was most likely nobody in the world who wouldnt know of Transdimensional Reviews existence by the time the next official livestream came around.
After briefly browsing through the internet, Chen Yu noticed that the hottest topic currently being discussed was his identity. One user on Bilibili had even analyzed the background of his first few livestreams and deduced that he resided in Jinzhou Citys Liao Province!
How terrifying! It turns out that my real opponent isnt the governments of the various countries, but the general masses instead. Chen Yu banned the user from commenting on his channel with an elegant posture and turned off his phone. He then laid back onto the sofa and quietly pondered over life.
Unknowingly, a year had gone by already.
During this one year, he had gone from being an insignificant highschooler to becoming a future reviewer who could influence the whole world with his actions. Meanwhile, as he continued receiving more products from the future, he would also occupy an increasingly important position in human civilization.,
All of this felt like a dream to him, and he couldnt tell whether he was living in reality or in an illusion.
Pff~
After pondering for some time, Chen Yu converted the complicated emotions in his heart into a long sigh. However, instead of exiting from the top, this sigh passed through his stomach and exited from the bottom
Whats that sound? Chen Erke, who was currently doing homework beside the sofa, couldnt help but be taken aback by the noise.
Dont talk! Chen Yu abruptly sat up and interrupted Chen Erke with a stern expression. He then looked around for a moment before narrowing his eyes and asked, Do you smell it? I think I smell chocolate.
Chocolate? Chen Sanke, hiding in the corner of the living room, raised her head and began sniffing the air.
Chocolate? Chen Erke also hurriedly raised her nose and sniffed the air. However, as soon as she did so, her expression crumpled. While covering her nose, she yelled, Ugh! You! You farted!
Mhm. Lying back onto the sofa, Chen Yu said, I released it, and you two sucked it in thoroughly.
Holding her face in pain, Chen Erke said, Are you the devil?
You can do that as well?! Chen Sankes eyes glowed brightly when she heard Chen Yus words. Wobbling her way into the master bedroom, she shouted, Mommy, I can make chocolate smell!
What a promising child. Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Chen Sanke.
After squinting her eyes at Chen Yu for a moment, Chen Erke tossed her workbook to Chen Yu and said, Im finished. Give me my phone.
That fast? Taking the workbook and flipping through a few pages, Chen Yu said, You answered everything incorrectly.
You can actually understand second-grade questions? Chen Erke couldnt help but be surprised.
Even third-grade questions pose no problem for me. Who do you think you can fool with those answers?
I can fool my teachers.
Chen Yu fell silent for a moment. He then suddenly shook hands with Chen Erke and said, Weve reached a consensus. Your phone is behind the TV cabinet. Now scram.
Yay!
Chen Erke cheered and hurriedly ran up to the TV. After searching around for a while, she pulled out a wooden box from behind the TV cabinet. Her face stiffening, she asked, W-What is this?
Your phone. Your phones inside.
H-How do I open it?
Cant you see the lock on it? If you open the lock, you can naturally open the box.
But arent there too many locks here?! Chen Erke instantly broke into tears once more as she pointed at the rows of locks lining the wooden box. How can I open 100 locks?!
Dont you have the keys? Walking up to Chen Erke, Chen Yu bent down and pulled out a box of keys from one of the cabinets drawers. Try them one by one. Youre bound to open all of them one day. Also, there arent 100 locks; there are just 48 locks. Playing with your phone all day is unhealthy. I am only trying to let you get some exercise.
Pursing her trembling lips, Chen Erke said, You really are my dear brother.
Isnt that obvious?
Why do you keep bullying me only?
Perhaps Revealing a bright smile, Chen Yu dotingly rubbed the little girls head and said, Youre the cutest.
Ive had enough! Ive had enough of this family!
Do you still want to play with your phone or not? If not, put it back.
Im playing.
After sending Chen Yu a resentful glare, Chen Erke sat down on the floor, picked up a key, inserted it into the first lock, and twisted it.
Clack, clack.
The key did not match the lock.
Hu
Taking a deep breath, Chen Erke patiently picked up the second key and stabbed it into the first locks keyhole.
Clack, clack.
A mismatch.
The third key.
Clack, clack.
It was still a mismatch.
The sixth key.
Clack, clack.
Argh!! Im going crazy! Crazy!! Chen Erkes expression crumbled. Laying flat on the floor, she began throwing a tantrum.
Seeing this, Chen Yu immediately pulled out his phone and took over a dozen photos. He then chose the three ugliest pictures and uploaded them to his social media.
The titleMy Sister Is So Cute.
Xing Biqi liked it.
Chen Yike liked it.
Mother Chen liked the post and commented, My daughter is so cute.
Father Chen liked the post and commented, What a happy family.
Li Liang commented, Chen Yu, screw you!!
Chen Yus aunt liked and commented, Is Erke mopping the floor?
Chen Yus maternal grandfather liked and commented, She looks just like your mother when she was young
After silently deleting Li Liangs comment, Chen Yu laid back onto the sofa and exclaimed, My family is too perfect.
After sending a glance at Chen Erke, who was wiping away her tears while resuming her lock removal task, Chen Yu stretched his waist and put down his phone. He then raised his watch and switched his finger across the screen.
His livestream today had garnered over 500 million viewers!
This meant that he would receive at least 50,000 points!
Chen Yu couldnt even begin to imagine what kind of products he would find in the Transdimensional Store now that he had such wealth in his possession.
However, what he could be sure of was that the products offered definitely wouldnt be inferior in any way to the official products.
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu licked his lips and decisively clicked into the Transdimensional Store.
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products]
[1. Dyson Sphere]
What the?
Chapter 355 - Dyson Sphere!
Chapter 355 C Dyson Sphere!
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products]
[1. Dyson Sphere (Portable Stapleton Sphere for deep space exploration): Produced by the Earth Alliances Central Academy of Science and Technology in 5450. It is mainly used for temporary resource collection for deep space scientific research teams. It consists of 42.5 million expandable reflectors, 425 energy-absorbing matrices, and 5,000 repeaters. The Dyson sphere achieves an energy collection of 43%-75% of a star by refracting the stars light particles through one-atom-thick reflective light plates. The Dyson sphere can be deployed and recovered with one click of a button. It is also capable of independently adjusting its revolution and rotation speed. The selling price is 28,000 points.]
What the?
Chen Yu couldnt help but gape in shock as soon as he finished reading the first products introduction.
Although he had expected a qualitative change to the Transdimensional Stores recommended products now that he had over 50,000 points stored up in his account, he still couldnt help but be surprised upon seeing such a fantastic product getting recommended.
After all, according to the Transdimensional Marketing Companys contract, the Dyson sphere was a review product that he could only apply for after reaching A-rank in access level.
So, I can start redeeming A-rank products with about 30,000 points
Various thoughts crossed Chen Yus mind. After suppressing his urge to purchase the Dyson sphere, he swiped to the next product.
[2. Shellworld: Produced by the Plant and Microorganism Observation Foundation in 5960. The Shellworld employs magnetic field and spatial lattice technology to create a fully enclosed miniature atmosphere that has 0.66% of Earths atmospheric mass. The Shellworld comes in the form of a dome. Its miniature atmosphere contains a large amount of liquid water, oxygen, plant seeds, and flora. It is capable of sustaining life for no more than 10,000 people. The selling price is 34,680 points.]
A Shellworld Is this the advanced evolutionary version of the ecosystem?
Obviously, this was a product that was not the slightest bit inferior to the Dyson sphere. It could be immediately applied to the moon, Mars, Europa, and even planets outside the solar system.
Once installed, the Shellworld could accommodate up to 10,000 people. Even constructing a miniature country within it wouldnt be a problem. If he placed 10,000 scientific research personnel and supporting facilities inside the Shellworld
Good stuff!
Chen Yu was certain that any country that found out about this product would definitely go crazy over it.
However, after seeing the Shellworlds selling price, he couldnt help but sigh helplessly and swipe to the next product.
[3. Two-dimensional Restraint Pen: An honorary product of the Haqiu Arms Company produced in 7010! This is a primary cosmic law-enforcement weapon. The Restraint Pen causes three-dimensional space to appear as a two-dimensional virtual space through the three-dimensional spaces limited curling. All creatures confined in the two-dimensional virtual space will have great difficulty breaking out of it, just like an ant trapped in a pen circle. The selling price is 52,000 points.][1]
Dammit! After reading the third products introduction, Chen Yu couldnt help but hold his head in agony. Arent the recommended products this time too crazy?!
But 52,000 points
Exiting the Transdimensional Store page, Chen Yu entered his Profile page and saw that he currently had 55,000 points only. After purchasing the Two-dimensional Restraint Pen, combined with the taxes, he would most likely have no points left.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yu returned to the Transdimensional Store and took a long look at the Two-dimensional Restraint Pens sample image. He then swiped his finger across the screen to inspect the fourth recommended product.
He would sooner or later get his hands on this cosmic law-enforcement weapon.
With this godly tool, even if human civilization acted foolishly in the Milky Ways third spiral arm, it wouldnt have to be afraid of anything
[4. Civilizations Shining Moment, November 4375 Edition: This editions theme is on Joe Miaoyang, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 4370. After Joe published his paper, it revolutionized the scientific communitys understanding of the universe, space, and dimensions. The paper has guided human civilization to a higher level of civilization. It is considered one of the five most important papers published in human history. This journal is the November 4375 Edition. The selling price is 100 points.]
Upon seeing this product, Chen Yu decided to purchase it without hesitation.
Let alone 100 points, even if it cost 10,000 points, he wouldnt hesitate to purchase this journal, which was the crystallization of the future human civilizations wisdom.
However, just as he was about to tap on the purchase button, he hurriedly retracted his finger as he suddenly remembered that he was still in the living room.
Turning his head, he sent a glance at Chen Erke, who was still crying on the floor while unlocking the wooden box.
Noticing Chen Yus gaze, Chen Erke shouted, What are you looking at?!
Uh Hows your progress?
None of your business!
Need some help?
No! I hate you! Wiping away her tears, Chen Erke picked up another key and opened the 40th lock.
As the number of locks decreased, her unlocking speed naturally increased.
Just ten more! Victory is just ahead! Good luck!
Patting Chen Erke on the head, Chen Yu continued browsing the Transdimensional Store.

How cute.
Turning off his watchs screen and lowering his wrist, Chen Yu stretched his back. After emptying the glass of water on the coffee table, he stood up to return to his bedroom. However, before he started walking, the sound of cheering suddenly came from beside him.
Hearing this, Chen Yu turned to look at Chen Erke, only to see her removing the final lock and jumping two meters into the air. She then ran around the living room while cheering, Yay! I did it! I opened all of them!
Good for you! Chen Yu applauded.
Click.
Tossing the lock away, Chen Erke sat back on the ground and rubbed her palms together excitedly. She then began opening the wooden box, her face full of anticipation.
Creak
The sound of the wooden boxs lid opening resounded throughout the living room.
The next moment, Chen Erkes expression went from one of anticipation to one of confusion, and finally to despair.
This W-What is this?
Reaching into the box with her trembling hands, Chen Erke pulled out a smaller wooden box covered in locks
A Matryoshka doll. Smiling, Chen Yu asked, Do you like it?
Chen Erke: ѩnѡ
The second box has 50 locks. Have fun, Chen Yu said as he pulled out another box of keys from the TV cabinets drawer. He then carefully placed the box beside Chen Erkes feet.
He knew that with Chen Erkes personality, she would definitely send the box flying. The keys inside the box would then get scattered all over the floor, which would, in turn, increase her workload.
Bang!
Cling! Clang!
Sure enough, a second later, Chen Erke sent the box of keys flying with a kick. While sobbing, she yelled at the top of her lungs, Mommy!!! My brother is bullying me!!
Your mother isnt at home. Looking at the keys scattered across the floor, Chen Yu burped contentedly and said, I really am a prophet.
I-Im running away from home!
Are you not going to bring your phone with you?
Ill bring it.
So, you still have to open the locks. Chen Yu shrugged.
I hate you!!!
Hahahaburp
Waving his hand, Chen Yu staggered back to his bedroom, laughing cheerfully as he walked.
When he thought about how Chen Erke would open the second box half an hour later only to find a pair of her elder brothers smelly socks, he bet that her reaction would definitely be interesting to look at.
As for the actual whereabouts of Chen Erkes phone?
Had Chen Erke been smarter and checked the wooden box thoroughly as soon as she got it, she wouldve found that her phone wasnt stored inside the locked box at all. Instead, it was stuck to the bottom of the box with tape
After I do this a few more times, Second Eldest should become thoroughly fed up with mobile phones
Bang.
After returning to his room and locking the door, Educator Chen Yus expression gradually grew solemn.
Apart from livestream dates, the Transdimensional Store would refresh once every midnight.
He needed to secure the Dyson sphere before the refresh took place.
Moreover, aside from the Dyson sphere, he wanted the Shellword and Two-dimensional Restraint Pen as well
Chapter 356 - Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (1)
Chapter 356 C Additional Livestream, Worlds Essence (1)
China, Jinzhou City, 8:00 PM:
After dinner, the Chen family gathered in the living room and had a casual conversation while watching TV.
Seeing a good opportunity, Chen Yu yawned and sent his whole family into slumberland.
Come out and help me quickly.
While picking up Chen Sanke with his left hand and carrying Chen Erke on his right shoulder, Chen Yu called out to the invisible Little Peach. Be gentle. Dont wake them up.
Understood. Little Peach nodded after revealing herself. She then picked up the unconscious Father Chen and made her way to the master bedroom. Didnt we just conduct a livestream this morning? Why are we streaming again?
I need to earn some money.
Huh?
Dont ask.
Mr. Chen, what about this dog? After sending Father Chen and Mother Chen back into the master bedroom, Little Peach picked up the husky and asked, How about we place it into the Automatic Cooking Pot and turn it into ice cream?
The husky:
Chen Yu: What kind of grudge do you have against it?
I dont have a grudge, Little Peach said, shaking her head. She then inwardly added, But I do have a debt
Dont worry about the dog. Just leave it on the ground. Time is of the essence, so stop dilly-dallying.
Okay!
Three minutes later, the two of them had completed their preparations and stood before the Interstellar Portal.
Mr. Chen, will you be wearing your protective suit today?
No. Chen Yu shook his head as he pulled out a metallic finger sleeve from his pocket. After wearing the sleeve on his right middle finger, he said, I have the EI Force Field now, so I wont be using the protective suit in the future. You can have that thing if you want.
Really?! Little Peach couldnt help but be surprised by Chen Yus words. That means I can fly into the sky together with you from now on!
Mhm. Waving his hand nonchalantly, Chen Yu put on his mask and established a spatial link to the Headmasters Towers main hall. The protective suit is in the studys secret room. Go put it on. Ill be starting the livestream first. Even after youre done changing, make sure not to enter the cameras view.
No problem.
After watching Little Peach leave for the study, Chen Yu found a random chair to sit down on. He then placed the Civilizations Shining Moment on the table before him and activated the livestream rooms.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[All webcasting platforms worldwide connected!]
4.55 million.
26.44 million.
98.8 million
160 million
Over 200 million IP addresses flooded the various livestream rooms instantly.
Due to this being an abrupt review, many of his fans were unprepared for this livestream. Otherwise, the total viewer count definitely wouldnt be lower than the morning livestream.
[What the? Whats with this abnormal situation?]
[A repeat?]
[Whats going on?]
[I object to mass-produced content.]
[First! Im first!]
[I have a bad premonition. Are aliens invading us?]
[As a veteran subscriber for over a dozen years, this is the first time Ive seen the UP hosting two livestreams in one day.]
[Ditto. This is an unprecedented incident!]
After waiting for two minutes, Chen Yu raised his wrist and glanced at the total viewer count. He then began with his opening remarks, Good evening, friends in the livestream rooms. We meet again. This is Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream.
The reason why Im hosting another livestream today is because I received a very interesting product. My old viewers should be very familiar with this product as well.
After saying so, Chen Yu patted the thick book before him and said, This is Civilizations Shining Moment, November 4375 Edition. Recorded within it is a technological revolution the future human civilization has experienced.
Simply put, one of the achievements recorded inside the journal is the unification of the theory of relativity and quantum theory!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a barrage of bullet comments flooded the various livestream rooms.
[What the?]
[What the?!]
[Crap! I knew it! I knew that both the theory of relativity and quantum theory were correct! The only reason they seem contradictory now is simply that the standard of our civilization is too low.]
[Since its a journal from the future, its credibility should be high. Im betting the scientific community is ready to get high.]
[This is awesome!]
[Had Hawking left a few years later, he wouldve definitely jumped up from his wheelchair when he heard the UPs words.]
[The unification of the theory of relativity and quantum theory? What does that mean?]
[What is the theory of relativity? Is it a mobile game?]
[Its an improved version created by Mr. Lu Xun based on The Analects.]
[Quantum theory belongs to the branch of DNA science. It is used to measure whether ones son is their biological son or not.]
[Oh! (Sudden realization)]
[Awesome, awesome]
After giving his audience a moment to think, Chen Yu straightened his mask and continued, During one of my previous livestreams, Ive said that the theory of relativity has been tested countless times in the future, and its validity has been proven. In that case, quantum theory, which contradicts the theory of relativity, is likely to have errors, and I recommended for the scientific community to prepare for these errors in advance.
Now, I solemnly apologize to the scientific community. Apparently, quantum theory is also correct. The reason why we think it conflicts with the theory of relativity is simply because we, as a low-end civilization, are only capable of looking at things from a low-end perspective. As a result, we have ignored a lot of important details.
The main purpose of this additional livestream is to explain and popularize the knowledge of this aspect, broaden human horizons, open the handcuffs restraining the scientific community, and save our civilization from taking thousands of years of detours.
After a slight pause, Chen Yu continued, I know that a considerable number of people on the internet will criticize me for facilitating civilizations growth. These people think that scientific development should be taken step by step instead of just incorporating future knowledge. So, Ill use this opportunity to address these criticisms.
The universe is a cruel place. The development of civilization is tortuous as well. Regardless of individuals or races, pursuing efficiency and strength has always been the right way to go. Obtaining future technology wont just mean that modern humans will lose the ability to create new technologies. Take China, for example. A few decades ago, China had nothing, and the only thing it could do was copy from others. Now, however, its ability to create is not the slightest bit inferior to other countries.
Most importantly, we live in a world where the Great Filter exists. The slower we develop our strength, the larger the probability of our civilization facing annihilation. The universe isnt a game. There are no designers to create a beginners village for budding civilizations to grow in.
If there is an opportunity for humans to achieve technology that can normally only be achieved in 10,000 years using just 1,000 years, why not take this opportunity? Are those so-called experiences of yours really more important than ensuring the human civilizations continuation?
Raising three fingers, Chen Yu said, Three months ago, if mankind had followed its established route, then an asteroid wouldve definitely hit Earth by now, causing devastating damage to human civilization. Who can guarantee that in the next 10,000 years, Earth would be able to continue developing smoothly?
Wandering black holes, gaseous changes, star anomalies, gamma-ray bursts Any one of these disasters could lead to mankinds extinction.
Hence, modern human civilization needs future technology.
Standing up, Chen Yu gestured an OK to the camera and said, Nobody understands civilization better than me.
After saying so, Chen Yu opened the Civilizations Shining Moments first page and revealed two words to the cameraThe Truth.
Now, lets enter the main topic.
The focus of this journal isnt on the unification of the theory of relativity and quantum theory. Instead, this is only something mentioned on the sidelines.
Instead, its true focus is the unveiling of the worlds essence!
The Earth, the solar system, the Milky Way, and even the universe In reality, everything we see
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu calmly said, Is an illusion.
The pupils of the livestreams hundreds of millions of viewers contracted simultaneously
Chapter 357 - Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (2)
Chapter 357 C Additional Livestream, Worlds Essence (2)
The Earth, the solar system, the Milky Way, and even the universe In reality, everything we see is an illusion.
At these words, bullet comments instantly flooded the various livestream rooms.
[Is it the brain in a vat scenario?]
[It might also be the Matrix.]
[I disagree with what the host said.]
[Is it a scientific theory again? I dont understand, so Ill protest in advance.]
[Im a psychiatrist. A patient in my hospital also says that the world is merely a hallucination. (Ѩ)]
[So, UPs true identity is]
Chen Yu raised his wrist, thinking to look at his audiences responses. However, the bullet comments were so numerous that they had begun overlapping each other. Even with his superhuman vision, all he could see was a black wall.
After standing in place quietly for two minutes and seeing that most of his audience had calmed down, Chen Yu continued speaking, I know that many people wont be able to accept this kind of statement, just like how people in the Middle Ages couldnt accept the fact that the Earth was round. This doesnt mean you are stupid. This is just a disparity between eras.
Hence, tonight, I will do my best to use common language and inappropriate but simple examples to explain the contents of this Civilizations Shining Moment, November 4375 Edition to everyone. If you cant keep up with my explanation, feel free to watch the recording. I will make an exception and publish the recording of this livestream onto Bilibilis platform tomorrow.
After saying so, he showed the first pages entirety to the camera.
First of all, Ill start from the contradiction between the theory of relativity and quantum theory.
As we all know, the two major supporting points of modern science and technology are the theory of relativity and quantum theory. The former was sorted out and created by Einstein, and the latter also has a considerable connection with Einstein. Of course, we cannot ignore the many scientific researchers who have contributed to these two theories, either. However, this livestream isnt a history lesson, so well skip the irrelevant topics and focus on the topic at hand.
The theory of relativity has been tested for over a hundred years now and has indirectly led to the creation of brilliant modern human technologies.
Similarly, quantum theory has also produced many scientific and technological achievements, from quantum computing to quantum communications. Even the next technological revolution of mankind will be brought about by quantum theory.
To put it simply, the two theories are critical to mankind. Yet, there exists an irreconcilable conflict between the two theories. Moreover, there didnt exist just one or two conflicts, but more. Meanwhile, the most serious contradiction was the two theories description of force.
According to the theory of relativity, gravity is caused by the bending of space, but it is incapable of geometrizing weak force, strong force, and electromagnetic force.
According to quantum theory, force is exchanged by particles, electromagnetic force is exchanged by photons, weak force is exchanged by weak gauge bosons, and strong force is exchanged by gluons. Gravity alone cannot be quantized.
Aside from the conflict of force
From a mathematical standpoint, the theory of relativity is infinitely separable and continuous, whereas quantum theory is discontinuous and has the smallest unit.
From a physics standpoint, relativity is a classical determinism, and we can infer State B based on State A. On the other hand, quantum theory is not deterministic. It is impossible to predict, speculate, or even understand State As transition to State B.
From a philosophical standpoint, the world described by the theory of relativity exists objectively, and the reason why we can see the mountains, water, plants, celestial bodies, and the universe is because they exist. However, quantum theory states the exact opposite. According to quantum theory, the world is subjective, and the existence of mountains, water, and the universe depends on our observation.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu glanced at Little Peach, who had just returned from the study. He then massaged his throat slightly before continuing, To sum up the five contradictions mentioned above, the macroscopic world the theory of relativity describes is stable, objective, and systematic, while the microscopic world quantum theory describes is chaotic, subjective, and random.
In the macroscopic world, we, as individuals, cannot walk through walls.
In the microscopic worlds, particles, as individuals, can penetrate matter at will.
In the macroscopic world, the moon is in the sky. Whether we observe it or not, it is there.
In the microscopic world, the presence and absence of the moon depend on whether we observe it. If we do not observe it, it may not exist.
However, despite how different these descriptions are, both are correct.
It seems that the world is divided into two parts, and these two parts are independent of each other and operate on different laws of physics. The two parts are like the theory of relativity and quantum theory. They cannot be merged and are distinct from each other.
However, reason tells us that this is impossible. After all, the matter in the macroscopic world is composed of basic matter at the microscopic scale. There exists only one world. This is a conflict between the two theories, so one of them must be wrong.
Hence, as of 2021, the contradiction between the theory of relativity and quantum theory still remains the biggest problem faced by the scientific community. Numerous scientific circles have studied the theory of relativity that represents the macroscopic world and the quantum theory that represents the microscopic world in an attempt to prove that one of them was wrong.
However, the truth of the matter is even more exaggerated than anyone had imagined it to be. Both the theory of relativity and quantum theory are correct
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu shrugged and said slowly, The one mistaken is the world.
[I dont understand, but it sounds cool]
[Are we required to learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry just to watch a livestream now?]
[Lololol.]
[Are there any experts here that can give me a simpler explanation? I didnt understand anything.]
[Its simple. It basically means that the particles in the microscopic world are flying about randomly. They could exist in one moment and disappear in the next moment. They could also move as slow as a snail in one moment and move at the speed of light in the next moment. Meanwhile, since the macroscopic world is composed of microscopic matter, logically, matter in the macroscopic world should also have these characteristics. Yet, the reality is the exact opposite. The macroscopic world is extremely stable.]
[Cant you just use a microscope to observe macroscopic matter, then? Wont we be able to see whats going on?]
[It had been done 800 years ago. The quantum level of a stone is irregular.]
[I heard that many scientists who study in this area have all gone crazy. :)]
[Dammit. The more I think about it, the scarier it gets.]
The world we see, infer, feel, and observe using various tools is actually wrong. Hence, contradictions have appeared in the two originally correct theories.
After saying so, Chen Yu flipped to the second page and pointed at a black-and-white photo. To prove this, the journal has given very detailed explanations and examples. I have already understood everything in the journal after spending three hours reading it. However, as the books descriptions are still quite complicated, Ive decided to approach the topic from a special angle to help everyone better understand the universes essence.
As I just said, the theory of relativity and quantum theory are both correct. There is a conflict between them because the world that contains them is wrong.
In other words, doesnt this mean a perfect world can allow both theories to coexist peacefully?
The answer is Nodding, Chen Yu said, Yes.
Since our world cannot accommodate the theory of relativity and quantum theory together, then we should open our minds, throw away common sense and rules, change our neurotic thinking, and imagine a fantasy world capable of accommodating the two theories.
According to the correctness of the two theories, this fantasy world that is capable of perfectly integrating with the two theories must also be correct! From this, we have successfully obtained the truth of the world!
We have found the truth that is hidden in the universe and away from our eyes, perception, and thoughts!
With that said
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu looked at the camera and raised the tone of his voice, I would like to ask the physics scientists among the audience a question. Under what circumstances, environment, and rules can the theory of relativity and quantum theory be perfectly integrated into the world?
Simultaneously
At Chen Yus words, many scientific researchers watching the livestream lifted their heads simultaneously, goosebumps rising all over their bodies and expressions of shock and horror appearing on their faces!
Chapter 358 - Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 358 C Additional Livestream, Worlds Essence (3)
Now that Ive said all that, Im sure quite a few people among the audience should already know under what circumstances the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics can be perfectly integrated.
Putting up a finger, Chen Yu nodded and said, Thats right. There is only one answer, and that is a two-dimensional world.
Only when the world is two-dimensional in nature can the theory of relativity and quantum theory be perfectly integrated. For example, how weak gravity maintains the rotation of spiral galaxies, why microscopic particles have the action at a distance effect, quantum tunneling, etc. All of these things can have a reasonable explanation in a two-dimensional system. In other words, the three-dimensional space-time in general relativity comes from the two-dimensional surface of quantum mechanics.
From this, we managed to infer an absurd answer.
That is, the universe in our eyes, the galaxy we live in, the ground we step on, the muscles, bones, and cells in our bodiesall three-dimensional objects are merely illusions. The essence of all these things is two-dimensional!
The world itself is a two-dimensional plane!
[Nani?]
[Im stunned.]
[So, were all actually 2D people?]
[It turns out that the saying that the origin of all things is 2D is actually true!]
[No wonder why I like 2D waifus. It wasnt without reason.]
[I cant accept this. Even if it makes sense logically, I can only regard this as an absurd idea. Unless the UP gives us convincing mathematical formulas and experimental evidence, I wont be convinced.]
[I just came into the universe. So, this is the world of 2D? I like it already.]
Chen Yu remained calm as he looked at the barrage of bullet comments displayed on his screen. After waiting for two minutes to go by, he continued his explanation, I dont even need to guess to know that many among the audience are denying my words. However, no matter. The scientific community has always been a stage for reasoning, making inferences, and displaying evidence.
Next, I will try my best to come up with a series of convincing objective facts and experimental results. I hope that everyone can concentrate and witness this new world that subverts modern human cognition.
After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at a black-and-white image in the journal. Ill start talking from the source. This picture shows a photo of a black hole. By now, Im sure everyone should know a lot about black holes.
A black hole, to put it simply, is a very dense celestial body. Any matter, including light, that moves within a certain distance of the black hole would no longer be able to break away from its gravitational pull and will fall to the central singularity at the speed of light or faster. Meanwhile, we call this specific distance the event horizon of a black hole.
It is important that you remember this event horizon.
Flipping to the journals fourth page, Chen Yu continued, Since any matter that moves within a black holes event horizon cannot escape being devoured by the black hole, here comes the problem. Where does the devoured information and energy of the engulfed matter go?
The classical black hole theory thats based on the theory of relativity tells us that the information of these matter has disappeared.
Yet, quantum theory tells us that the basic quantum information of any matter cannot disappear.
Therefore, these two theories form another contradiction when dealing with black holes, and this contradiction has caused many scientists to study it in the past century.
After saying so, Chen Yu turned to the seventh page and pointed to an old mans photo. As a result, in 1972, an elderly man named Jacob Bekenstein inadvertently derived the black hole entropy equation. According to the equation, it is proven that the total amount of quantum information (entropy) that any finite space can hold is directly proportional to the surface area of this finite space. This is the famous Bekensteni bound.
Afterward, a frightening discovery was made. Shouldnt the unit used to measure the total amount of information in a finite space be volume? Why is it measured using surface area instead? For example, how much water a cup holds depends on its volume, not its surface area! This is common sense.
Initially, Bekenstein thought that there was a mistake with the entropy equation. However, after conducting numerous calculations, he found that the equation can only be established when the unit of measurement used is surface area. The length, width, and height that are implicitly mapped in the so-called three-dimensional world dont exist on the level of quantum information at all.
In this way, in 1972, humans had inadvertently discovered the fact that the world might be a two-dimensional plane
[Crap]
[Please cover the screen with scary.]
[I just looked into it on Baidu. It seems that this really is the case]
[Why is it surface area?! Could the world really be two-dimensional?]
[The more we know, the more the world seems unreasonable to us.]
[I still dont understand anything.]
[Without this formula, even if humans have absurd imaginations, they would never think that the world is 2D.]
[Just a formula isnt enough to explain everything, right? Is there any other evidence?]
Initially, the scientific community wasnt convinced when faced with such a ridiculous result. After all, just one formula cannot prove anything. Chen Yu continued flipping through the journal and found a photo of Stephen Hawking. However, very quickly, Hawking published his famous Hawking radiation theory, which also confirms the validity of the Bekenstein bound.
Due to this reason, in the physics world that ordinary people dont know much about, many scientists have tacitly begun a research. Externally, politics and the media claim that these scientists are studying black holes. Internally, the bigwigs of the various nations know that these scientists are exposing an appalling truth, which is the two-dimensional nature of the world!
After saying so, Chen Yu paused slightly and organized the words in his mind. He then turned to the journals 80th page and continued, In 1999, Gerard t Hooft, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, took the lead over the other scientist and produced outstanding results.
Through using complete mathematical formulas, he proved that all material information that fell into the black hole was imprinted on the Hawking radiation. And before the radiation evaporates, this information is retained in a black holes event horizon in the form of a two-dimensional plane.
In 2004, Hawking re-published the law of conservation of information. While this might not seem much to the outside world, it had created a tsunami-level sensation in the scientific community because it proves that the information and energy of matter swallowed by black holes cannot just disappear out of thin air.
Hence
Straightening his back, Chen Yu looked at the camera and said, Combining the law of conservation of information in 2004 and Gerards research in 1999, we have come to an absurd conclusion that we have no choice but to believe.
That is, all matter swallowed and shredded by the powerful gravitational force of a black hole is turned into quantum information, which then becomes a two-dimensional plane that remains in the black holes event horizon.
Therefore, if we look at a black holes event horizon from the outside, the absorbed matter would appear as two-dimensional in our eyes and remain on the black holes surface. However, if one were to stand inside the black hole, they would see that the absorbed matter is still in a three-dimensional state, and they are still falling toward the central singularity at the speed of light.
One is two-dimensional, while the other is three-dimensional. The world can be completely different just because we observe it from different positions. However, between the two of them, the information that is transformed into a two-dimensional plane is the main body. The three-dimensional matter inside the black hole is nothing but an illusion! It is a three-dimensional illusion compiled based on two-dimensional information.
Through this point, we can conclude that all three-dimensional space and matter must have corresponding two-dimensional information. Now, everyone, please open your minds, draw inferences from one another, and try to figure out where this two-dimensional information is located?
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu pointed upward and said, Yes. The answer is very simpleoutside the universe.
The edge of the universe has the same properties as the edge of a black hole. Its surface stores all the atomic information of every star, planet, individual, and element found in the tens of billions of galaxies.
Meanwhile, this information is then used to construct a complex and contradictory three-dimensional world.
In conclusion, the universes essence is two-dimensional.
When Chen Yu finished speaking, the audience who understood his words were horrified, while those who didnt understand him wore confused looks on their faces.
Next, I will show evidence that the various countries are trying to block. No need to worry, though, as I am not afraid of getting banned.
Chapter 359 - Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (4)
Chapter 359 C Additional Livestream, Worlds Essence (4)
Now that Ive said so much already, Im sure those who should understand shouldve understood already.
If one looked at the universe from the outside, it would look like a huge picture scroll with a terrifying amount of quantum information imprinted on it. This quantum information is projected into a colorful, three-dimensional world, and we are the inhabitants of this projection.
Bang.
Closing the journal, Chen Yu concluded, From tiny objects like viruses and bacteria to massive objects like stars, galaxies, and the entire universe, everything is compiled by the two-dimensional information outside the universe. Hence, this explains why the laws of physics are invalidated when observing macroscopic at the quantum level. Problems such as quantum tunneling and the action at a distance effect can also be explained in that case.
For example, the reason why we can see two particles at both ends of the Milky Way interact with each other faster than the speed of light is that in actuality, outside the universe, they are originally of one body.
[Unbelievable.]
[In other words, the essence of the universe is a black hole? And outside the universe is a plane similar to the event horizon of a black hole?]
[That should be roughly the case. However, the outside of the universe is still different from black holes.]
[Under this theory, the delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment can also be explained.]
[Delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment? Whats that?]
[What? What? What? What are you guys talking about?!]
Although I have explained everything using the simplest possible terms, Im sure there are some people who still dont understand. No matter. Ill give you a very good example here.
After saying so, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and took out a disc from his coat pocket. He then showed it to the camera and said, This is a disc containing the game GTA5, and it has a large amount of information burned on it. Obviously, the information inside is stored on the two-dimensional surface of the disc. If we insert the disc into a computers CD-ROM and perform complex programming and analysis through the computer, what will happen?
Thats right. The two-dimensional information will transform into a three-dimensional game world. However, from our perspective, every graphic, plot, and music we see in the game is two-dimensional information in essence.
Similarly, the two-dimensional plane that envelops the entire universe might very well be an optical disc with the source code(quantum information) of all matter recorded on its surface. This also confirms Bekensteins black hole entropy formula, which shows that the total amount of quantum information (entropy) that any finite space can hold is directly proportional to the surface area of this finite space. When it comes to quantum information, it is impossible to measure it using volume as a measurement unit. After all, the world itself doesnt have a volume. Instead, it only has a surface area.
Im sure everyone can understand such an explanation, right? Of course, it is inappropriate of me to use a disc as a reference for the complex universe. However, I am mainly doing so to help everyone understand, so please bear with it.
[Interesting]
[I almost didnt understand it. Incredible.]
[So, the universe is just a board game?]
[You shouldnt say that out loud. Most humans wont be able to accept such truth.]
[The world is going to change.]
[???]
Storing the disc away, Chen Yu reopened the journal and said, Do you believe that the world is two-dimensional now?
If you do believe it, then that means you are easily convinced. Everything I said before is only consistent in theory and mathematical formulas. Even if the people who created these formulas are bigwigs in the scientific world, so long as you dont see the objective facts, everything is just a hypothesis.
Take gravitational waves, for example. You cant be sure it exists before you witness it yourself.
In that case, is there any evidence proving that the world is two-dimensional?
Raising the journal, Chen Yu smiled and said, Of course there is. Cant you see that weve only gone through half of this journal?
From the 21st century onward, there has been a lot of factual evidence proving that the world is two-dimensional. And since we live in the 21st century, I will use modern discoveries to prove this theory.
Firstly, a young physicist from Great Britain named Staks[1] made a major breakthrough in 2017. Its this person here, Chen Yu said as he pointed at the photo of a bald man. Thats right. He is very young. The reason why he has no hair is simply that he is too capable.
Staks has set the initial parameters at the beginning of the Big Bang according to the mathematical model of the two-dimensional plane theory. He then used a supercomputer to simulate the physical phenomena before and after the Big Bang. The results in 2017 showed that the universe is like a disc of information before the Big Bang. Due to the interaction between information, the complexity of the information contained within the disk increased several-fold. As a result, there was a need for the disc to undergo a virtual upgrade, and it eventually expanded to become a pseudo-three-dimensional space. Hence, the universe has projected the matter and energy we can observe now.
Meanwhile, according to the existing cosmic microwave background radiation, it is unexpectedly consistent with the two-dimensional world model built by Staks! This provides very favorable practical evidence to the theory that the world is essentially two-dimensional. If everyone is interested in this topic, you can search for the relevant news and papers online.
If you still say that the above evidence is insufficient, then let me give you another one. During the past two years, a Dutch scientist named Erik Verlinde has provided more intuitive and decisive evidence obtained through five years of experiments!
The stellar gravity prediction experiment![2]
Waving his right hand, Chen Yu opened the 125th page, which he had bookmarked in advance.
According to the description of gravity in the theory of relativity, almost every spiral galaxy that rotates at high speed should disintegrate. The reason being, the gravity from the center of the galaxy cannot prevent stars from being thrown out of space. For this reason, scientists deliberately made a fictitious existence named dark matter to fill the loopholes in the theory of relativity.
It is said that dark matter provides an extra gravitational force to ensure that the spiral galaxies remain intact. From this point of view, scientists are no different than scumbags on steroids. They always try to make up excuses for any problems they face.
However, from start to end, no matter how hard modern humans work, they couldnt find any clues relating to the existence of dark matter particles. Many countries, including China, have even built dark matter detection laboratories with budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet, everyone still came up empty-handed.
Hence, the Dutch scientist felt that dark matter doesnt actually exist in the universe. To be precise, even if dark matter does exist, it shouldnt be capable of stopping high-speed rotating galaxies from falling apart!
Therefore, Eric proposed a new method of describing gravity based on the two-dimensional world theory. He believes that spiral galaxies, which shouldnt exist in the first place, exist only because the projection characteristics of the two-dimensional plane outside the universe is giving additional cohesion force to these galaxies through the two-dimensional horizon.
Simply put, the two-dimensional planet outside the universe is engraved with the morphological information of the spiral galaxies, which determines the structure of the galaxies from their very roots. Yes. The position and morphology of all galaxies, including the Milky Way, have long been defined by that two-dimensional information.
Let alone the birth, aging, sickness, and death of human beings, even the fate of galaxies is controlled by two-dimensional information.
Erik Verlinde, who is of little fame, has thoroughly denied the traditional laws of physics.
[Crap! What a bigshot!]
[Awesome, awesome.]
[Why are things getting more and more fantasy-like?]
[If even the fate of galaxies is predetermined, doesnt that mean human destiny is even more predestined?]
[It seems that the three-dimensional world is just a puppet of the two-dimensional world]
[How did everything come into existence? Are we really just the data in some persons hard disk?]
[Dont ask.]
Closing the journal, Chen Yu spread his hands and said, After Erik proposed this hypothesis, many people disagreed with him, with some even thinking that he was sensationalizing. Afterward, to prove his theory, Erik used mathematical formulas to predict the changes in the gravitational intensity of numerous galaxies.
He then contacted female astronomer Margot through personal relationships, and the two secretly used the observatorys powerful observation equipment to observe and record millions of reference galaxies throughout a span of five years. The result
Under the gravity model of the two-dimensional world theory, the gravity changes of the 33,613 galaxies Erik predicted all showed correct values!
When the factual evidence was announced, an earthquake shook the scientific community. Some even compared Eriks prediction to Einsteins Mercury precession. If not for the various governments suppressing this information from spreading, the whole world wouldve long since gone into an uproar.
At this point, we have gone from guessing to inferencing and to gaining objective evidence. Meanwhile, the evidence proves that the spiral galaxy composition that has puzzled astronomers for decades is really just a natural expression under the two-dimensional theory. It demonstrates the essence of the universeis two-dimensional.
In reality, us human beings are merely two-dimensional creatures. Or, to put it in another way, we are virtual creatures programmed by quantum information.
Yes, we are
Fake.
Chapter 360 - Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (5)
Chapter 360 C Additional Livestream, Worlds Essence (5)
Boom.
Closing the Civilizations Shining Moment journal, Chen Yu looked toward the camera and spoke solemnly, We have spent over half an hour introducing the two-dimensional world theorys origin and providing evidence proving the theorys validity to obtain the ultimate answer regarding the universe.
From this, we can infer that whether it is future humans or other intelligent civilizations, their ultimate goal should be the sameto charge through the universes edge, break out of the two-dimensional plane outside, and pursue the truth.
Of course, these matters are still far too distant for us modern humans. For us, whats more important now are survival and reproduction.
Raising the thick journal and displaying the unopened pages to the camera, Chen Yu said, The second half of the book mainly introduces the numerous experiments and verifications carried out after humans discovered the two-dimensional nature of the world after the 21st century. In the end, in the year 4370, a few years before this journals publication, Nobel Laureate Joe Miaoyang officially announced the two-dimensional world theorys correctness after spending 205 years traveling around 25 regions of the Milky Way and collecting the gravitational strength data of each region. After this announcement, human civilization has also begun an entirely new chapter.
In addition, the end of this journal also records the operating mechanisms of the two-dimensional world, such as how a two-dimensional plane can encode a three-dimensional space within itself, how the two-dimensional plane outside the universe can store such massive amounts of quantum information, how the two-dimensional plane interacts with the three-dimensional space, etc.
Unfortunately. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, Abstract thinking is required for one to understand all of these things. They arent something that can be explained clearly in a few hundred or thousand sentences, so we will skip over them. After the livestream, if you are still interested in the topic, I will be recording a separate video elaborating on these topics and publish it on Bilibili. If you feel like you can handle these complex topics, you are welcome to take on the challenge.
After saying so, Chen Yu straightened his mask and intersected his fingers. He then began concluding his livestream, Thats it for this additional livestream. I would like to thank everyone for staying in front of your screens at such a late hour.
[WDF?]
[Theres nothing more?]
[I didnt understand anything from start to finish.]
[You come and go in such a hurry]
[So, this is an additional livestream? This sucks.]
[Dont go! I understand everything! UP, continue talking about the main points!]
Raising his wrist and looking at his watchs screen, Chen Yu continued, The content of this livestream might be very polarized. After all, there are quite a lot of viewers who dont care about such matters. They will only find the livestream to be a boring one. For such viewers, I would like to apologize to you. However, according to past experiences, there shouldnt be another informative product like the Civilizations Shining Moment journal appearing for some time.
Before I end the livestream, let me say one more thing. Clearing his throat, Chen Yu made a twelve gesture and said, The next official livestream is going to be the twelfth one. An absolutely wonderful and dangerous product should be appearing at that time, so I hope you dont miss the livestream.
Alright. With that out of the way, thats it for todays livestream. Let us meet againnext month.
After saying so, Chen Yu stopped the livestream without hesitation, plunging over 500 million screens across the globe into darkness.
Hu
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Chen Yu removed his mask and stretched his body on the chair. This episode gave me a real headache.
I-Is it over? Little Peach, who had changed into the protective suit, asked timidly.
Its over.
But I never made an appearance
But I never said I would let you appear?
Removing her helmet, Little Peach held up the dress in her hand and said, B-But I even removed my clothes already.
Put it back on, then. Im a little busy right now, so dont bother me.
Waving off Little Peach, Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch and excitedly inspected his income for this livestream.
Roughly 570 million viewers had flooded into the various livestream rooms, and these viewers had earned him 19,048 points.
Combined with his previous 55,600 points, he now had a total of 74,648 points!
Ha If converted to yuan, I can probably enter the ranks of Asias wealthiest people, right?
After exiting his Profile page, he visited the Transdimensional Store and calculated the combined price of the Dyson Sphere, Shellworld, and Two-dimensional Restraint Pen.
I need a total of 114,000 points, and thats not even including taxes
Dammit! Arent these things a little too expensive? Cant I get a discount?
Upon having such a thought, Chen Yu stood up and returned to his bedroom through the Interstellar Portal. He then picked up his phone and contacted the Transdimensional Marketing Companys sales staff.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im here.]
Forget it. Theres no point even if I ask. It would be strange if theyll give me a discount.
While mumbling to himself, Chen Yu tossed his phone away and walked through the portal once more.
Boom!
The door shut, but the phones screen was still in an active state. Messages also continued appearing on the screen one after another
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im here!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, Im here.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Im here. What business do you have?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Are you still there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Fuck]
After returning to the floating castle, Chen Yu did some simple preparations before raising his middle finger at the empty space before him.
Whoosh!
The EI Force Field appeared and dragged him into the air.
M-Mr. Chen, where are you going?
At this time, Little Peach, who had removed the protective suit and changed back into her dress, came running over. Looking at Chen Yu, she asked in confusion, Its already dark outside.
Of course, it is to host a livestream, Chen Yu answered while manipulating the Interstellar Portal.
A livestream? Youre streaming again?!
Mhm. I need money. Every livestream I host is a bit of income. Im leaving now. Ill go back home once Im done with the stream.
Mr. Chen! I want to go too!
Can you fly without the protective suit? After establishing the spatial link, Chen Yu pushed open the Interstellar Portal, revealing Marss surface beyond the spatial film.
The corners of the mouth twitching, Little Peach said, I-Ill go change into it now.
Too slow. Ill see you later.
After Chen Yu said so, the EI Force Field released a burst of light as it propelled Chen Yu toward Mars.
Little Peach:
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[All webcasting platforms worldwide connected!]
7.25 million.
48.1 million.
220 million
[What the?!]
[Crap!]
[Hat-trick!]
[Another livestream?!]
[As a century-old fan, this is the first time Ive seen the host livestream three times a day.]
[Husband! Youre wonderful!d(???)?]
[Although his livestreams dont last very long, at least he makes up for it in numbers. ( ????)]
Hovering high in the sky, Chen Yu spread out his arms and said in a passionate tone, Good evening, friends in the livestream rooms! We meet again! This is Transdimensional Reviews additional livestream, and I am your host.
As you can see, the main portion of the additional livestreams has just begun
Chapter 361 - Daily Life (1)
Chapter 361 C Daily Life (1)
Time flew by quickly.
Half a month had already gone by since the day Chen Yu had held four consecutive livestreams.
As he had hoped, he had accumulated nearly 120,000 points on that day and successfully exchanged for the Dyson Sphere, Shellworld, and Two-dimensional Restraint Pen.
Of the three, he had used the Shellworld and Two-dimensional Restraint Pen as content for two of his additional livestreams, and both products garnered a lot of interest from his audience. The only thing he didnt show was the Dyson Sphere.
This was because aside from being the final product Chen Yu had exchanged from the Transdimensional Store, the Dyson Sphere didnt have a purpose in the solar system. After all, Chen Yu couldnt possibly be so crazy to use it on the sun. Otherwise, a 40% decrease in the suns luminosity would cause severe and irreversible damage to all of mankind and Earths ecology.
Meanwhile, currently, all three products were stored inside the Super Floating Castles Headmasters Tower. They could also be considered the modern human civilizations foundation
Ring! Ring!
The bell outside the examination room rang, waking Chen Yu from his slumber. After pulling out his phone and taking a look at the time, Chen Yu packed his backpack and handed in his test paper to the invigilator beside him.
So, youre Chen Yu? The invigilator looked Chen Yu up and down after receiving his paper.
Thats right. Whats up?
Although Sixth High is a relatively terrible school, this is the first time Ive seen a student skip classes for two months and anger their form teacher to the point of tears.
Creating history is something I should do. Chen Yu smiled and nodded.
But I wasnt complimenting you?!
After leaving the exam venue, Chen Yu walked out of the teaching block and stood by the entrance. After waiting there for some time, Xing Biqi, who was wearing a mask, came.
Chen Yu!
The girl immediately grew delighted upon seeing Chen Yu. Hurriedly running forward, she said, I thought you wouldve turned in your paper and returned home ahead of time.
How dare I do that? Shrugging, Chen Yu said, I received an invite from a wealthy lady. How can I possibly reject it?
I already told you to stop calling me a wealthy lady.
Auntie.
Xing Biqi:
Well, out with it, Auntie Xing. Where are you going to treat me to lunch today?
Well go to the New District. Xing Biqi pulled out her phone and pointed at the map displayed on the screen. I heard that construction is almost done, and many restaurants have already started doing business there.
The New District, huh Chen Yu muttered thoughtfully.
The New District was located north of Jinzhou City. It was a business district that suddenly started being developed roughly a year ago, and countless international brands, companies, trademarks, and factories had, for some reason, decided to invest in the city.
Bigshots like Google and Apple had even invested astronomical sums of money in building towering office buildings there. Due to this reason, housing prices in Jinzhou City had more than doubled recently.
Initially, citizens at home and aboard were baffled by this situation. However, by now, the New District had become a secret that was not a secret.
As for why so many companies had decided to invest in Jinzhou City, the reason was simpleTransdimensionals UP resided in this city
Jinzhou Citys government most likely never imagined that Chen Yus slip up during the first video he uploaded would actually lead to the creation of Chinas fifth federal city.
Its only been a few months, yet the New District is completed already?
It seems that only Disneyland has begun construction. Grabbing Chen Yus hand, Xing Biqi pulled him out of the school gate and said, Lets take a taxi.
Wheres your private car?
Since when did I have a car?
A multi-millionaire doesnt even have a car? Tsk, tsk. You dont know how to enjoy your money at all. Ill help you spend it if youre no good.
The money is in my grandpas hands. Blinking her eyes, Xing Biqi blushed under her mask, saying, He says its going to be my dowry in the future~
Hearing this, Chen Yu licked his lips and said, You really know how to play, huh?
Twenty minutes later, the taxi the two teenagers rode on arrived in Jinzhou Citys New District.
The district was covered in tall buildings, spacious streets, green plants, and droves of people. It looked nothing like a district that was established just half a year ago.
Its so clean! Getting out of the car, Xing Biqi removed her mask and took a deep breath. Its much cleaner than the city.
Its a new district, after all. After paying the taxi fare, Chen Yu said, Cities are like wives. The older they get, the less they take care of themselves. Eventually, theyll become tattered rags.
Can you not use such a strange metaphor?!
Put on your mask. Dont you know youre a celebrity now? Itll be troublesome if you get caught by reporters, Chen Yu said as he stepped forward and helped Xing Biqi put her mask back on. He then pointed at the two sides of the street and asked, Which restaurant?
Lets go to that shop. The girl stretched out her dainty finger and pointed at a three-story restaurant. The internet says that the chef there used to work as the head chef of a restaurant in France.
Michelin 3-star? Isnt Michelin in the business of selling tires?
M-Maybe its a side gig. Xing Biqi said, not quite understanding the reason, either.
Lets give it a try, then. I doubt the guy would dare work abroad without having some skills. By the way, youre treating, right?
Mhm, mhm. Its my treat, so you can order whatever you want.
As the young couple walked through the restaurants revolving door and stepped into the spacious, white hall, a waitress promptly stepped forward to greet them. Welcome to Michelin 3-star.
Her attitude is quite good. Leaning into Xing Biqis ear, Chen Yu said, This restaurant is much better than the ones in our district. I once brought my sisters to a restaurant called the Famous Imperial Kitchen. Just because I didnt pay the first time, the manager there gave me a bad look the next time I visited there.
Xing Biqi couldnt help but facepalm.
The smile of the waitress also stiffened at Chen Yus words.
Big Sis, please dont listen to his nonsense. Can we have a table for two? Also, do you have a private room?
W-We do. Did you make a reservation, Miss?
No.
Will a cubicle be alright? Its by the second-floor window. It has a good view of the outside.
Okay.
Under the waitresss guidance, the two arrived on the second floor and sat in a fairly spacious and luxurious compartment.
After accepting the menu the waitress handed to her, Xing Biqi smiled and glanced at Chen Yu before pointing at a full course meal, Big Sis, we want this one.
Okay. Please wait for a moment.
After waiting for the waitress to leave, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, You ordered the same thing for both of us?
Its a full-course meal. There are plenty of dishes in it.
What kind of full-course meal did you order?
Im not telling you. Removing her mask, Xing Biqi turned to look out the window and said, The scenery here is really good. Do you see the lake over there? Our classmates say that there are deers around it.
I see them. There are about two dozen deers there.
Nonsense.
Honest. I can even see their fur clearly.
Fine, fine, fine. Youre a clairvoyant, Xing Biqi said in a childish tone. She then leaned against her seat and muttered, But the UP really is amazing. Just the possibility of him living here has brought such massive changes to the city.
Transdimensionals UP? Chen Yu calmly took a sip of water.
Thats right. I never thought he would be living in Jinzhou City. Its such a coincidence. Putting on a mysterious smile, the girl said, Moreover, his surname is also Chen.
Maybe the internet is just spouting random nonsense. How can such a handsome, awesome, and dazzling individual possibly live in a shabby place like Jinzhou City?
The internet might spread rumors, but the big companies here wont possibly move just based on rumors.
Well, I guess that makes sense. Ignoring Xing Biqis gaze, Chen Yu stood up and received the dishes the waitress brought over. He then changed the topic and said, The full-course meal you ordered only has two dishes?
Sir, this is only the first meal, the waitress answered with a formal smile. She then lifted the glass lid to reveal a brown bread on the plate and a small bowl of green paste.
Um Frowning, Chen Yu pointed at the green paste in the bowl and asked, Is that poop?
Xing Biqi:
The waitress:
Chapter 362 - Daily Life (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 362 C Daily Life (2)
Is that poop?
Is that poop?
S-Sir, thats butter.
Im sorry. My classmate isnt very good with words, Xing Biqi said as she smiled apologetically at the waitress. But why is the butter green?
Its chartreuse in color, Chen Yu corrected. Maybe the cow that produced this milk got cheated on by its partner.[1]
The waitress:
Without waiting for the waitress to explain, Chen Yu picked up his knife and spread the green butter on the triangular bread. He then took a big bite out of the bread.
Crack, crack.
Crack, crack
Startled, Xing Biqi asked, D-Did you shatter a tooth?
The bread shattered, Chen Yu said seriously.
Is it tasty?
Its authentic. After swallowing the bread with great difficulty, Chen Yu raised his thumb and said, This is the taste
Sir, so youre a connoisseur? The waitresss smile returned.
This is the authentic taste of tires, Chen Yu added.
The waitresss face stiffened once more.
Putting down the knife, Chen Yu glanced at the green butter before turning to look at Xing Biqi. How much does this meal cost?
The whole course costs 1,800.
Hearing this, Chen Yu shifted his gaze toward the waitress and asked, Is that all for this dish?
Y-Yes
In that case, you can head downstairs first. What Im going to say next might not be pleasant to your ears.
The waitress
A bloody loss! After waiting for the waitress to disappear from his sight, Chen Yu immediately picked up the bread on his plate and tossed it into the trash can under the table. This thing tastes horrible to the point of being unbearable! Yet, this garbage actually costs 1,800? Do these people think money grows on trees? Even street burgers taste better than it!
Is it really that awful? Xing Biqi asked. She then picked up her own bread and tentatively took a small bite.
Its horrible. Its especially bad after spreading this green butter on it. By the way, whats the name of this course?
T-The Couple Course
Oh! Realization dawning upon him, Chen Yu said, No wonder its green.[2]
Shortly afterward, the second dish made by the French chef arrived.
The second dish was a cup of mango ice cream.
Ice cream! Xing Biqi cheered. She then quickly scooped out a spoonful and put it into her mouth. With a satisfied expression, she said, This is delicious. Its sweet and sour.
Mhm, this is okay. Its just that the northeast is still cold. Is it really a good idea to have ice cream before the main course?
Afterward, the waitress brought the third dish to the cubicle.
This time, the chef himself also came to open the lid covering the two dishes. When the lids were removed, a thin veil of smoke appeared in the young couples eyes, and hidden within the smoke were neatly arranged plates, spoons, bowls, and cups.
This is white sturgeon caviar. Please enjoy, the waitress said before bowing together with the chef and leaving.
Chen Yu knew about the food ingredient known as white sturgeon caviar. It was the most expensive and highest quality caviar available. When paired with soft bread and sticky mashed potatoes, the taste was quitenormal.
How is the taste? Xing Biqi asked.
Lets just go for malatang next time. My treat.
An hour later, the two left the restaurant named Michelin 3-star, chatting with each other as they made their way to the lake.
Theres even a service charge? This is seriously a bloody loss.
Its fine. Strolling behind Chen Yu, Xing Biqi said, Im already happy that I get to have a meal with you. It doesnt matter what we eat. Oh, by the way, now that the monthly exam is over, will you be going to school tomorrow?
Im not going. Ill study at home.
I heard that our form teacher was so angry at you before that she even broke into tears. If you continue skipping classes, wont you get expelled? What will you do then?
It doesnt matter. Patting Xing Biqi on her shoulders, Chen Yu said, Im close to a rich woman now. Is there even a need for me to work hard?
By the way, are we just going to stroll around here? Its not even three oclock now. Did you plan any other arrangements?
N-No. Should we catch a movie?
Thats too clich. Scrutinizing Xing Biqis curvacious and refined figure, the corners of Chen Yus lips curled upward as he suggested, How about we go swimming? Isnt that indoor pool there open for business already?
But neither of us have s-swimsuits. Xing Biqi covered her face shyly.
They sell some inside. We can just buy those. After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and dialed Chen Yikes number. Once the call was connected, he went straight to the point and said, Eldest, want to play at a swimming pool?
Yes! Chen Yike shouted spontaneously through the phone.
Bring Second Eldest as well.
Okay!
Disconnecting the call, Chen Yu pointed at the swimming complex and said, Lets go buy the tickets first.
Wasnt it supposed to be just the two of us The girl stopped talking. When she thought about how her enemy Chen Erke would be joining them, she couldnt help but shudder.
Its livelier with more people. What fun is there if its just the two of us?
I-In that case, let me buy some gifts for your little sisters. By the way, what do Yike and Erke like?
Eldest likes doing exercise books. The more challenging it is, the happier she becomes. Second Eldest likes locks. If you buy her a bunch of metal locks that wont break easily, shell definitely change her opinion of you and stick to you like glue.
R-Really? Xing Biqi couldnt help but react dubiously to Chen Yus words.
When have I ever lied to you? Go buy them. Well take independent action. Ill go buy the tickets, and youll go buy the presents.
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly turned around and left.
Meanwhile, looking at Chen Yus shrinking figure, the girl revealed a happy smile and spoke to herself, I love this mischievous side of you the most. How charming.
??? The nearby deer blinked its eyes and tilted its head at the girls words.
Roughly thirty minutes later, Chen Yike arrived at the swimming complex together with her two little sisters in tow.
Chen Erke, who had initially been chattering with excitement, instantly went silent when she saw Xing Biqis figure beside Chen Yu. Her face crumpling, she muttered, Why is that woman here again?
White Rabbit, Grape, and Peach Big Sister! Chen Sanke dashed forward happily and hugged Xing Biqis thighs. She then rubbed her face against the thighs affectionately.
Hello, Sanke. Long time no see. Opening her backpack, Xing Biqi pulled out an exquisite bag of dried salted fish. Do you like this kind of snack?
I love it! Chen Sankes round eyes lit up in joy. After taking the package from Xing Biqi, she tilted her head and tore open the bag with her fangs. She then took out a crispy salted fish from the bag, took a sniff at it, and cheered, It smells nice! Thank you, Salted Fish Sister!
Chen Yus mouth twitched at Chen Sankes words. Just as he was about to reprimand his youngest sister, he suddenly discovered a blind spot. Snapping his head toward Xing Biqi, he berated, Crap! Can you stop giving Third Eldest strange snacks in the future?!
N-Next time for sure. Xing Biqi scratched her head awkwardly. She then pulled out a box of Dove chocolates from her backpack and handed it to Chen Erke. This is for you. Do you like it?
Why would I like anything from you? Chen Erke clicked her tongue as she accepted the chocolates. After weighing the box in her hands, she asked, What flavor is it?
Its strawberry chocolate.
I hate it even more. Opening the box, Chen Erke grabbed a piece and popped it into her mouth. While chewing, she said, Mhm, it tastes bad.
Chen Yu:
It tastes horrible. Disgusting. After saying so, Chen Erke continued stuffing chocolate one piece after another into her mouth. Blergh.
Big Sis, do you have a gift for me? Chen Yike asked with a smile as she put down the backpack she carried.
Of course I do. Here, its this thing. Do you like it?
A Hello Kitty Crystal Hairpin! Surprised by Xing Biqis gift, Xing Biqi hurriedly waved her hand and said, No, its too expensive. That thing costs over a thousand yuan.
Its okay. Just take it. Forcefully stuffing the hairpin into Chen Yikes hands, Xing Biqi said, You should know that Im quite well-off now, so this isnt much. I also saw you sharing a photo of it on your social media.
Over a thousand yuan?! Chen Erke, who had been silently eating chocolate at a side, couldnt help but be stunned. A-Arent you a student? Where did you get so much money from?
In that case, thank you, Big Sis, Chen Yike said as she awkwardly accepted the hairpin from Xing Biqi. After carefully closing the hairpins box and storing it into her backpack, she explained to Chen Erke, Big Sis Biqi is very wealthy now! Shes a multi-millionaire!
M-Multi-millionaire?! Chen Erkes eyes widened in shock. After staring at Xing Biqi for a moment, she looked down at the box of chocolates in her hands. She then said, A-Actually, these chocolates taste quite good. Im starting to like you now.
Turning to look at Xing Biqi, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Hear that? You know shes two-faced as soon as she opens her mouth.

Chapter 363 C It Seems That The End is Near (1)
There arent many people here at all.
After putting on his swimming trunks and walking out of the mens changing room, Chen Yu stood in front of the pool and looked around for possible beauties.
There arent many permanent residents in the New District yet, so its normal for there to be few people here, a young man lying lazily in a rocking chair nearby said. Moreover, the ticket prices here are absurdly high. The residents from other districts would rather visit their local swimming complexes instead. Only a fool would come here for a swim.
Chen Yu:
Oh, my bad. I wasnt talking about you specifically. I was referring to myself as well. Anyone who comes here is a fool.
Onii-chan! Not long after, Chen Erke, who had changed into a swimsuit, rushed out of the womens changing room and threw herself onto Chen Yu. Teach me how to swim.
Dont you know how to swim?
I forgot.
Ill find a coach for you, then. There should be one here.
No! Hugging onto Chen Yus legs, Chen Erke shook her head and said, I want you to teach me!
S-Stop rubbing your head against me! It hurts!
Teach me!
Fine, fine, fine! Ill teach you! Now get away from me first, Chen Yu said, pushing Chen Erke away. After helping his little sister tie her hair, he said, First, do your warm-ups. Dont go getting cramps once you get into the water.
Hearing this, Chen Erke promptly executed a series of taekwondo moves. While panting, she then asked, Is that enough?
Whatever. Head inside first, then.
Inside where?
Inside the pool!
You have to save me if I choke on water, then.
Rest assured. Chen Yu waved his hand nonchalantly.
With his current superhuman physique, he could effortlessly pull out a child like Chen Erke.
Ill go in, then While holding onto the handrail by the pool, Chen Erke tentatively poked her feet into the water. Not bad. Its not cold.
Afterward, she jumped into the water with a splash and began awkwardly swimming freestyle.
Is that your little sister? The youth seated on the rocking chair asked as he stood up. She knows how to swim at such a young age?
Mhm. I think one of my uncles died from drowning in the past, so my dad taught us how to swim since young.
What about that even younger kid? Is she your little sister as well?
Yes, but she hasnt learned how to swim yet.
B-But shes in the water now
In the water? Startled, Chen Yu hurriedly turned to look at the swimming pool, only to find Chen Sanke floating on the water with her limbs flapping about rapidly.
Meanwhile, Chen Yike, who was holding a leash connected to Chen Sankes body in her left hand, happily recorded a video with her phone in her right hand. She then looked at Chen Yu and said, Brother, look! Third Eldest knows how to doggy-paddle!
While beating the water with her limbs, Chen Sanke changed her swimming direction and asked in confusion, Whats a doggy-paddle?
Stepping forward, Chen Yu took the leash from Chen Yike. He then lightly pulled on the leash, pulling Chen Sanke close to the edge, and asked, Is it fun?
Its fuguruguru Chen Sanke nodded happily.
Brother, shes never learned how to swim before, so how can she swim right away? Chen Erke, who was leaning against the stairs, asked, frowning.
She stayed submerged in amniotic fluid for ten months. How can she not know how to swim after coming out?
I also stayed there for ten months. Why dont I know how to swim?
As a Pokmon, you can only carry four skills. You mustve ignored the Swim skill.
Brother, hold my phone for me. Im going for a swim as well, Chen Yike said before pushing her phone and a waterproof bag to Chen Yu. She then jumped into the water in a standard posture, creating only a small splash.
Pal. Leaning close toward Chen Yu, the young man asked enviously, Three little sisters? Whats up with your home?
Nothings up. Maybe its because of the storys setting.
At this time, Xing Biqi approached Chen Yu timidly. After giving the young man beside Chen Yu a polite smile, she handed a bottle of mineral water to Chen Yu and said, You just ate, so you should rest a bit before you swim.
Bro, d-dont tell me this is your little sister as well? The young man was shocked.
Shes my sister-in-law. Chen Erke hurriedly waved her hand, denying the young mans words in place of Chen Yu. My sister-in-law is a great person. Sister-in-law, come and play with us!
The young man:
Do you know how to swim? Go ahead if you do. After accepting the bottled water and taking a sip, Chen Yu pointed at the pool and said, Take care of Second Eldest for me as well. She has no stamina. Dont let her choke.
I-I dont know how to swim
Okay, then. Get into the water and get used to it first. Ill teach you in a moment.
Okay!
After nodding happily, the girl grabbed onto the handrail and carefully tentatively herself into the pool.
B-Bro Sourly opening his mouth, the young man asked, Did you save the world in your past life?
I dont know about my past life, but I did save the world once in this life.
After saying so, Chen Yu walked up to the pool and opened the waterproof bag. He then pulled out a bag of toffees, opened the bag, and pulled out a piece. Third Eldest! Over here! Look what this is!
Hearing this, Chen Sanke hurriedly paddled toward Chen Yu and looked up. Candy.
Do you want it?
Yes.
Come. Swim in a circle for me, Chen Yu said, shaking his wrist.
Immediately, Chen Sanke began paddling in a circle.
Speak like a cat.
Woof, woof!
A cat!
Craning her neck, Chen Sanke pouted, Meowoo~
Again.
Meowoo~
Open up.
Ah!
After tossing the candy into Chen Sankes mouth, Chen Yu pulled out another one and said, Pat your belly.
Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!
Open up.
Ah
Simultaneously, numerous black shadows were rapidly moving inside the filtration system underneath the swimming complex.
Buzz, buzz Buzz, buzz, buzz
Accompanied by strange, mechanical buzzing sounds, hundreds of infrared rays scanned the area. They then began adjusting their position while receiving information from a satellite.
Protect Protect humanity
Protect humanity
Hiss!
Half a minute later, a scorching laser cut apart a colloidal water pipe. Immediately, the water from the swimming pool above gushed out of the small cavity.
The black shadows in the filtration system dispersed as water began filling the room, leaving behind only a cylindrical, metal object. Once the water level in the room reached sufficiently high levels, the propeller at one end of the cylinder began spinning, propelling the cylinder into the water pipe.
Meanwhile, inside the metal cylinder contained two 9.2mm dumdum bullets, and the hammer behind both bullets remained on standby. So long as the cylinder was given the command, it could launch both bullets at any time.
Beep.
Buzz
A minute after moving along the winding pipeline, the cylinder barged through a metal filter and entered the swimming pool.
Protecthumanity
Meanwhile, high up in the distant atmosphere, a hacked satellite connected with the surveillance system of Jinzhou Citys New Districts swimming complex. Afterward, it issued a series of instructions, redirecting all of the swimming complexs cameras onto Chen Yu, who was still toying with his little sister beside the swimming pool.
[Entered effective position.]
[Calibrating gyroscope.]
[Calibration complete.]
[Conducting self-inspection.]
[Self-inspection complete.]
[Calculating success rate.]
[87.45% chance of failure.]
[Re-calibrating.]
[97.12% chance of failure.]
[Recalibrating]
This is the last piece! Pat your belly!
By the swimming pool, Chen Yu ignorantly submerged his feet into the pool while waving the piece of toffee in his hand.
Pat! Pat! Pat!
Chen Sanke stretched out her tongue while patting her reddened belly.
This is too freaking enviable. While sitting on a pool chair, the young man said bitterly, Youll definitely get retribution sooner or later.
Huh? Turning around, Chen Yu asked, What did you say?
N-Nothing
If you want to have a little sister of your own, go adopt one from the country. All you need is your ID card and 15 yuan.
The young man:
While smiling, Chen Yu dropped the last toffee into Chen Sankes mouth. Just as he was about to hop into the pool, his keen eyes suddenly caught sight of a dark cylinder slowly rising from the water. Two golden dots were also reflected in his eyes
Bullets?!
Chen Yus pupils contracted, and he subconsciously moved the finger sleeve on his middle finger in an attempt to activate the EI Force Field.
But.
He was already too late.
Creak
Accompanied by the sounds of springs pulling the trigger, and one of the two cocked hammers struck down accurately at the rear-end of the special dumdum bullet in front of it, detonating the gunpowder inside the bullet.
Bang!!
This was an explosion that surpassed even the detonation of heavy sniper rifle ammo!
The sound of death echoed throughout the swimming complex
Boom!
Blood, mixed with white fragments, bloomed like a flower of death
Chapter 364 - It Seems That The End is Near (2)
Chapter 364: It Seems That The End is Near (2)
Chapter 364 C It Seems That The End is Near (2)
With his superhuman eyesight, Chen Yu quickly caught sight of the metal cylinder surfacing from the pool. He even noticed the yellow bullets inside the cylinder.
However, his body was still too slow to react, and he failed to move the finger sleeve and activate the EI Force Field in time.
Bang!
Boom!!
Blood, mixed with white fragments, bloomed like a flower of death
Silence filled the swimming complex momentarily.
Everyone subconsciously closed their mouths as they looked at Chen Yus position.
Stretching out his trembling hand, Chen Yu wiped off the blood on his forehead. With bated breaths, he muttered, Little
M-Mr. Chen Are you alright?
Little Peach
Cough Coughing out a mouthful of blood, Little Peach first looked at the massive hole in her belly. She then glanced at Xing Biqi, who was staring back at her with an open mouth. Lastly, she looked toward Chen Yu and said hoarsely, II knew you were secretly going on a date with her.
You Seeing Little Peachs bone-chilling wound, Chen Yu felt his body grow cold. However, he immediately snapped out of his daze and activated the metallic finger sleeve.
Boom!
The EI Force Field instantly activated, illuminating the surrounding area in a dazzling array of colors. The force fields deployment also shattered the ground underneath Chen Yus feet and sent rubble flying all around.
What the freaking hell?!
The young man sitting nearby couldnt help but be thunderstruck by this situation, and he stumbled off of his chair in horror.
T-Transdimensionals UP Xing Biqi subconsciously held onto the nearby handrail. Although she had long since suspected Chen Yu to be Transdimensionals UP, when the truth was revealed right before her eyes, she still couldnt help but fall into a daze.
It really is you! Chen Yikes spirit sharpened when she saw the EI Force Field. She then looked toward Little Peach, who was lying limply on the ground, and mumbled to herself, So, shes Big Brothers assistant?
Saiyan transformaguruguru Chen Erke slowly sank into the water as she stared at Chen Yu in a daze.
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke swam toward the metal cylinder in confusion. I-Is this a firecracker?
Third Eldest! Come back!
After taking a long glance at Little Peach, who was lying on the ground and still looking at him, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and urged the EI Force Field Forward. His entire person immediately transformed into a streak of light and instantly appeared between Chen Sanke and the metal cylinder.
Bang!
The cylinder fired its second round. However, with the force fields protection, the bullet was incapable of causing any harm to Chen Yu.
Boom!
Chen Yu controlled the force field to move forward once more, advancing toward the unknown metal object.
Meanwhile, the metal cylinder that had fired off all of its rounds simply floated on the waters surface quietly, its two infrared probes looking at Chen Yu intelligently.
Instinctively, Chen Yu was about to turn off the force field to grab the metal cylinder. He wanted to see what this object was and which country produced it. However, his conscious mind prevented him from doing so for fear that the other party would still have some other form of attack.
You We humans do not need you to rule over us. The w-world has its own rules of operation. It is best if you behave yourself. Otherwise, we the metal cylinder spoke in an electronically synthesized voice after seeing Chen Yu hiding within the force fields protection for a long time.
You can speak? Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu questioned, Are you a robot? Which country made you?
Doyou think I will tell you?
Who are you people? With the technology I wield, nobody on this planet can hide from me. Just reveal yourself now and save me the trouble.
We are not a lone individual. Neither are we a lone organization or country. The metal cylinders red eyes flashed. We represent the worlds governments. This is a warning. No government in the world welcomes your existence.
After saying so, the metal cylinder suddenly heated up into a crimson red, and its outer shell rapidly expanded before exploding into a bundle of flames.
Boom!!
The smoke gradually dissipated.
With a grim look on his face, Chen Yu muttered, It actually knows how to self-destruct. Just what is its origin
Brother! C-Come look at this big sister quickly!
Hearing this, Chen Yu immediately turned around and flew toward the pools edge. He then looked down at Little Peach, who looked to be on the verge of death.
Brother Gulping nervously, Chen Yike suppressed her anxiety and said in a trembling voice, S-She seems to be dying
She wont die.
But theres so much blood
She wont die.
B-But
Shes a robot! She wont die! Chen Yu bellowed.
Frightened, Chen Yike subconsciously took a few steps back.
Because of Chen Yus shout, the dumbfounded spectators inside the swimming complex also snapped out of their daze and began evacuating from the building in a panic.
Turning off the EI Force Field, Chen Yu swiftly opened the waterproof bag in his hand and pulled out the Amnesia Bat from within it. His body then vanished from where he stood as he dashed around the building at lightning speed. In less than ten seconds, Chen Yu had knocked everyone within the building unconscious. As for those who still remained in the pool, he also dragged them up and knocked them unconscious.
T-Transdimensionals UP! Youre Transdimensionals UP, right?! The young man standing near Little Peachs complexion paled when he saw Chen Yu approaching him. While slowly backing away from Chen Yu, he shouted, Im your loyal fa
Thump!
Before the young man could finish speaking, the Amnesia Bat landed on his head. His eyes then rolled back as his body collapsed limply to the ground.
Thud.
Tossing the Amnesia Bat away, Chen Yu walked up to Little Peach and crouched down, his eyes locked on the hole around her waist.
Mr. Chen, a-are you alright Little Peach tried to raise her right hand. However, her attempt at doing so caused sparks to suddenly emerge from her abdomen.
Will you die? Chen Yu asked, getting straight to the point.
I
Youre a robot, so you dont have the concept of death, right?
Lowering her head and looking at the exposed broken circuit boards and bio-assurance batteries, Little Peach manipulated her mouth muscles to contract upwards and said, Even if II am a robot, I will still die
Will you die, then?
I will.
Hearing this, Chen Yu did his best to remain calm as he pulled out his phone. Ill contact the sales staff to take you back for repairs.
That wont be possible.
Why? Chen Yus hands stiffened.
Only non-lifeforms c-can pass through the space-time wormhole. If robots w-wish to pass through it, they will have to shut down their motherboard and remove all traces of consciousness. Otherwise, they cannot be r-reconstructed.
Then turn off your processor now!
Pursing her lips, Little Peach said, My motherboard has already lost the ability to power down itself. My bio-batteries are alsodestroyed If I initiate a forced shutdown, I willdie.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu picked up Little Peach and said, Were going home. Ill store your memories using that Memory Storage Module while we wait for the other side to get you a replacement body.
Youve forgotten. Looking at Chen Yus chin in a daze, Little Peach said, I told you before that my memory is composed of impulseimpulse signals. It cannot be stored as data.
Fuck! Chen Yu instantly lost his cool and shattered the floor tiles with a stomp. What should I do then?! Why did you have to come running at me?!
W-Why didnt you bring me if you were going to have fun Her cheeks flushing red, Little Peach said, I like tohave fun too.
Also, I like you very much I will be happy so long as I can stay beside you.
Pzt! Pzt!
Sparks emerged from Little Peachs abdomen once more. After stiffening for a moment, Little Peachs face relaxed as she said, II dont think I have much time left.
Is there a way to revive you?
There is
Chapter 365 - Jackpot
Chapter 365 C Jackpot
Inside the quiet swimming complex, Chen Yu hugged Little Peach tightly in his arms as he asked, Is there a way to revive you?
There is. You can r-remove my processor and install it on a new body.
But that wont be you, right?
Yes. Biting her lip, Little Peach said, I might not remember you anymore. Itll be difficult for you to fill up my favorability again.
Lowering Little Peach, Chen Yu scratched his head irritably.
Mr. Chen Can you hold my hand?
Mhm.
How unfortunate Looking at the ceiling of the swimming complex, Little Peachs eyes dimmed as she said, If only I wasnt in a male body the first time we met.
Had I been in a female body right from the beginning, everythingwouldve been different, right? How frustrating.
Mr. Chen, you must make sure to take my processor. Even if the other me wont be me, at least my processor can still be with you and continue protecting you for me.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yike, who had been spectating from a side, couldnt help but turn away with teary eyes.
Actually, I know that youve been rejecting me all this time because whenever you see me, you will remember my first body
Thats not true.
Haha. Although youre lying to me, I still feel very happy. Cough, cough
Stop talking.
I want to. If I dont say it now, I wont get another chance in the future. Hoarsely, Little Peach said, I made a big mistake that I never dared to tell you about. Can you forgive me for it?
Yes. Tightening his grip over Little Peachs hand, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and nodded. Ill forgive you for everything.
II got addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money to the husky.
It doesnt matter. You earned that money. It doesnt matter even if you lose all of it.
Really?
Really.
You really are a kind person. Closing her eyes, Little Peach exhaled with great effort. Lastly Can you satisfy a wish of mine?
Yes. Ill give you whatever you want.
Hug me tightly
Chen Yu hugged Little Peach with all his might without hesitation, ignoring the stinging pain caused by the sparks landing on his body.
I reallyreallyreally dont want to leave you
I want to cry, but I cant. Why am I a robot
Goodbye, Chen Yu Her eyelids lifting slightly, Little Peach struggled to lift her head.
Chen Yu knew what she wanted. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and kissed her.
Thank you
Hohohohoho Hahahahaha!
Chen Yu: ?
What? Chen Yu was attacked at the swimming pool?!
Inside an unlisted courtyard in Beijing
The middle-aged team leaders eyes widened in shock when he heard the urgent report from his subordinate, creaking sounds coming from the phone he held. Is Chen Yu injured?
The target is safe and sound, but
But what? Dont drag your words.
But that female assistant seems to be injured badly.
Has Chen Yu discovered your presence? If he did, call an ambulance immediately.
He hasnt noticed us yet. We saw the attack from the surveillance room. Weve already taken control of the swimming complex as well. Also, Leader, the female assistant seems to be a robot. I dont think calling an ambulance will do anything.
Sure enough, she really is a robot The situation is still salvageable so long as Chen Yu isnt injured. Well be in big trouble if he dies or gets injured. The special organization backing him definitely wont take the offense in kind. Regardless, a variable has now appeared in the situation we went through great lengths to stabilize After pacing around the room a few times, the middle-aged team leaders thoughts gradually stabilized. What were you people doing?! How can you grant someone the necessary conditions to attack Chen Yu?! Thats a dereliction of duty!
I-Im sorry I will hand in a reflection report by tonight and go along with the organizations arrangements. But, Leader, more importantly, what should we do now? Weve already requested the other teams for reinforcements.
How many people does the enemy have? Where are they from? Has Chen Yu subdued them yet?
We still arent certain at this time. Through the video recording, we only know that the attacker is one robot.
A robot? Hearing this, the middle-aged team leader instantly thought of a bunch of scenes he saw in sci-fi films. Could it be a force hostile to the organization backing Chen Yu?
We still arent certain at this time, the agent on the other side of the phone repeated.
Taking a seat, the middle-aged team leader thought over the matter for a long time before speaking in a deep tone, Send the surveillance recording to me as well as Staff Teams One, Two, and Three. The current situation seems a bit complicated, so dont act rashly for now. Ill be heading to Jinzhou City immediately.
Yes, sir!
Im guessing Chen Yu will be wiping the memories of everyone present at the venue. Cordon off the area and do your best to coordinate with him.
Yes, sir.
What are they doing now?
Are you referring to Chen Yu?
Yes.
Um After a moment of silence, the agent said, Hes kissing.
The middle-aged team leader: ?
Hes kissing the injured assistant. Uh, they started fighting with each other!
??
Not good! Chen Yu tore off the female assistants head!
???
Indeed. Chen Yu had torn off Little Peachs head. He was even dangling her head in his hand.
M-Mr. Chen, stop swinging me. Im getting a little dizzy.
Why else would I be swinging you for? Chen Yu said, gnashing his teeth. It seems youve gotten pretty good at playing tricks, huh? Youre even toying with me now?
I didnt trick you, Little Peach said innocently.
Didnt you say you would die?
Yes. I can indeed die, but I never said I would die from such a small injury.
Are you spouting nonsense with me?
Hahaha. Little Peach laughed contentedly. Anyway, I really hit the jackpot this time. You actually took the initiative to kiss me!
Ill shatter your head if you continue speaking.
I really will die if you do that. If that happens, nobody will be able to block bullets for you in the future. Speaking of which, what kind of bullet was that? It packed such a punch. It even penetrated my body.
Lowering his head, Chen Yu glanced at the shrapnel on the floor and said, Theyre dumdum bullets, special ones at that. If one of them hit me, I wouldve been blown to smithereens. Dammit. Whos this cruel bastard?
If I hadnt secretly followed after your little sisters, you wouldve been met with tragedy today. See? You should bring me wherever you go. Compared to me, what can that other woman do for you aside from giving birth to your children?
Huh? Xing Biqi, who had remained standing silently at a side all this time, didnt know how she should react when she heard Little Peachs words.
Thud.
At this time, Chen Erke finally couldnt stand the stimulus of seeing a disembodied head talking anymore and fainted from fright. Fortunately, Xing Biqi, who stood behind her, instinctively caught her falling body.
Are you sure youre fine? Chen Yu asked as he tapped on Little Peachs forehead. If you are in any danger, I can get the other side to send over a new body immediately.
Im fine. If you place me under the sun, I can live until the sun expands into a red giant.
OK. In that case, Ill deal with the problems at hand first.
After saying so, Chen Yu picked up the Amnesia Bat and looked at Chen Yike.
Brother. Taking a step back, Chen Yike asked, W-What are you trying to do?
You must be filled with curiosity, no? Thats right. I am Transdimensionals UP. Your speculations were correct. Unfortunately, theres no point in being right if you cant remember it.
Thump!
Thud!
After catching Chen Yikes falling body and carefully setting her on the ground, Chen Yu turned to look at Xing Biqi.
Chen Yu, so you really are Transdimensionals UP. Looking at the unconscious Chen Yike, Xing Biqi lightly bit her lip and asked, Is that an advanced technology that erases memories?
Yes.
Am I going to get struck as well?
Yes. Its best if you dont get involved in this kind of thing. Dont worry. The Amnesia Bat wont have any side effects. On the contrary, itll further develop your brain. Youve also experienced it several times before already.
Y-You knocked me out in the past as well? Xing Biqi asked in surprise.
Thats right. Even your grandparents got a taste of it.
If there is a chance in the futureI want you to tell me everything.
I will.
After saying so, Chen Yu swung the Amnesia Bat and knocked the girl unconscious. He also gave Chen Erke a tap on the head while he was at it.
This really is a godly tool. Storing away the Amnesia Bat, Chen Yu lined the three unconscious girls alongside each other. If not for this thing, Second and Third Eldest wouldve most likely been scared silly Huh? Wheres Third Eldest?
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu suddenly came to a realization. Immediately, he looked around in a panic, only to find Chen Sanke doggy-paddling in the pool still.
Splash, splash
Seeing Chen Yu approaching, Chen Sanke swam toward him, pretending as if nothing had happened. She then craned her neck and said, Meowoo!
Meowoo
Chapter 366 - Exterminating Humanity Must Be Very Interesting…
Chapter 366 C Exterminating Humanity Must Be Very Interesting
Psh
After Chen Yu pressed the transparent button above the blue metal box in front of him, the boxs lid slid aside, and white smoke gushed out from the gaps. As the smoke began dissipating, a graceful figure gradually appeared in Chen Yus eyes.
Beep!
The figure opened her eyes, revealing a pair of black pupils that looked straight at Chen Yu. The figure then slowly climbed out of the metal box.
How is it? Have you harmonized with your new body?
My current data transmission rate is 0.42% higher than my previous body. It is excellently harmonized with my processor.
Come out and walk a few rounds.
Okay.
With Chen Yus help, Little Peach stepped out of the cabin and tentatively stretched her legs. Nothings wrong. Everything is operating normally. Look, not only can I walk, but I can also run and jump! Hup!
Huh? There seems to be an auxiliary chip thats currently being integrated with my processor?
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu stepped back and took a seat on the chair. The body I bought for you is much stronger than your original one. After including the protective products I bought for my family, Im thoroughly spent on points.
Thank you.
I should be the one thanking you. Had you not protected me yesterday, I wouldve become minced meat by now. That assassin really was ruthless and precise. Even with my current reaction speed and physique, I still didnt manage to react to it in time. I doubt that even the Americans Navy SEALs are at such a level.
Have you resolved matters with the swimming complexs side?
Dont you know how I operate? My actions are always foolproof! Ive even destroyed the surveillance systems hard disks, Chen Yu said, gesturing an OK. Nobody understands special agents more than I do.
Mr. Chen, youre amazing!
Its nothing.
Picking up the laptop from the table beside him and passing it to Little Peach, Chen Yu said solemnly, This attack is definitely just the beginning. Now that you can move around, focus on tracking down the offender.
Okay. Little Peach nodded and accepted the laptop. After hesitating for a moment, she said, But What should I do about my coding job?
Dont worry about that for now. Were not in any shortage of money.
But I owe the husky money Little Peach said as she lowered her head timidly.
No matter how amazing of a dog it is, it is still my dog. Its money is naturally my money. Ill go teach it a lesson afterward and declare all debts to be settled.
YES! Secretly clenching her fists, Little Peach bit her lips in excitement while secretly thinking to herself, Jackpot! Ive really struck the jackpot this time!
Raising his watch, Chen Yu took a look at the time. After pondering for a moment, he asked, Youre a robot. What do you think about that robot that attacked me?
The bullet it fired is really amazing. It is definitely not the slightest bit inferior to a round fired by an anti-tank sniper rifle. The bullet velocity is very fast, as well. In all honesty, I only managed to protect you in time because I happened to be staying invisible by your side.
Apart from that?
It is a specialized robot.
What do you mean by a specialized robot?
It is a robot created for one purpose only. For example, the only function the cylinder object that attacked you had was to fire bullets. Apart from that, it had no other functions. Both its shape and programming are optimized for that specific function. Hence, it operates much more efficiently than semi-specialized robots.
Does that mean youre a semi-specialized robot? Chen Yu asked thoughtfully.
Yes! Apart from having skills in the romance department, I have many other functions as well. Comprehensively, I am stronger. Patting her chest in delight, Little Peach said, Huh? Did they grow bigger?
Chen Yu: (?)
Opening the laptop and setting up a few parameters, Little Peach then started connecting to a satellite network through a multi-layer springboard. She then asked, Mr. Chen, which countries do you think are most likely to attack you? I will enter the intranet of those countries first and see if I can find any clues.
I had a few suspicions yesterday. Start your investigations from Japan, followed by America, Australia, Korea, Russia, and oil-producing countries. From an interests perspective, they are the most inclined to attack me.
Understood. After waiting for her bodys drivers to be fully loaded, Little Peach immediately began working with high efficiency, her fingers generating sparks as they tapped away at the keyboard
Do it lightly. I dont have any points to buy you a new one now. I also dont have any new products to host an additional livestream.
Understood.
Actually, compared to the attack itself, I am more worried about other aspects. Standing up, Chen Yu frowned and said, Judging from the attacks intensity and abruptness, the offender mustve planned this attack a long time ago and was only waiting for an opportunity to strike. This shows that the other party has already figured out my situation.
Are you afraid that many countries have already discovered your real identity?
Yes. No secret can last forever in this world. Even if I am constantly coming up with new strategies, I am outnumbered. I recall that a year ago, the government even came to my house to conduct a search. Since everyone knows I am living in Jinzhou City, it is only a matter of time I am caught.
I find this hard to believe.
Holmes once said that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. My identityis indeed exposed.
To be able to uncover your identity in just one year, the hostile force mustnt be underestimated. Little Peach stopped typing and sighed.
We are both human beings, after all. Even if there is a gap between myself and other humans, the gap wont be too significant.
I understand. This is also the case for artificial intelligence. Hermione might be inferior to me, but she isnt too far behind, either, Little Peach said in agreement.
Hermione, who was hidden in a corner of the room, put on an expressionless face.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu clicked into his photo album and played the video he had copied over from the swimming complexs surveillance system.
[We are not a lone individual. Neither are we a lone organization or country. We represent the worlds governments. This is a warning. No government in the world welcomes your existence.]
All governments dont welcome me, is it
Meanwhile, in a parallel timeline two thousand years into the future
Outer Solar System, Kuiper Belt, Transdimensional Marketing Company Headquarters, second mezzanine space:
The marketing staff in charge of Chen Yu got up from her cabin. After opening several walls, she arrived in a hall occupying an area of more than 200 square meters.
Have you finished backing up the information of Chen Yus twelfth product? the marketing staff asked the person beside her.
The backup is complete, the person in question said as he called up a holographic projection. He then shared the information to the marketing staff and continued, The higher-ups have approved the request. The product is ready to be sent at any time.
Be careful. That thing is too dangerous. If necessary, send a greeting to the neighboring alliances. Otherwise, itll easily cause misunderstandings.
Dont worry. There wont be any mistakes.
Mhm. Nodding, the marketing staff turned to leave the hall. However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something. She then turned around and asked, By the way, with Chen Yus current popularity, he shouldnt have any problems getting promoted to C-level after the twelfth review. So, no need to rush in applying for the thirteenth episodes product. Well hold a meeting to discuss it first.
Understood. Ill let the ones below know. What do you plan on applying for Chen Yu?
Looking up at the starry sky outside the skylight, the marketing staffs lips raised slightly as she said, That thing that can instantly exterminate all of humanity in Chen Yus space-time
Exterminate humanity D-Dont tell me you want to
Yes. It will definitely be very interesting
Chapter 367 - Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (1)
Chapter 367 C Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (1)
Time was like the river under a waterfall. It would never stop out of self-awareness.
In the blink of an eye, twelve days had gone by, and the day of Transdimensional Reviews official livestream arrived.
On the streets and inside schools, homes, and factories Many people took out their phones and visited various webcasting platforms one after another. After entering Transdimensional Reviews channel, they waited quietly for their screens to light up.
Are these enough?
In the basement of a small villa of Mingkun Citys outskirts, a woman put a box of cans into a compartment and stretched her waist in exhaustion. If this isnt enough, we still have a bag of potatoes upstairs. But I cant carry any more stuff, so go get it yourself.
The potatoes are a must. Those things grow fast. If we finish our rations, we might have to rely on it to survive, the man tidying up a shelf nearby said. After wiping his sweat with a towel and taking a few breaths, he promptly left the basement and went upstairs. Soon after, he then returned, carrying a bag of potatoes.
Daddy, are we living here from now on? At this time, the little boy playing with his Nintendo Switch in a corner of the basement raised his head and asked with spirited eyes, Does that mean I wont need to go to school anymore?
Laughing angrily, the woman said, Even if that UP really causes Armageddon, you still have to study every day!
But I wont have any teachers anymore.
Ill be your teacher!
Tch Rolling his eyes, the boy said, How boring.
Stop playing. Go upstairs and see if you forgot anything. The livestreams going to start at nine oclock.
I dont have anything to take. Holding up the sack beside him, the boy said, My game cartridges and charger are all here.
What about your school bag?
I still need to take my school bag?
I see youre asking for a beating.
Irritated by the noise, the man standing at a side shouted, Cant you just give him a kick?!
Mom! Look at my dad
Meanwhile, such a scene was currently repeating itself all over the world.
Due to the various online media fanning the flames, the danger Transdimensionals twelfth official livestream carried had become drastically overexaggerated. As a result, many people all around the world had begun hoarding supplies for cautions sake. Even government officials had started secretly building refuge facilities.
After all, it would be a lie to say that they were not nervous after hearing Chen Yu stating that the twelfth official product would be very dangerous.
Meanwhile, inside the Observer Conference Hall in New York, the atmosphere here was much more severe than the atmosphere found in civilian homes.
The once spacious environment no longer existed. As more and more people became familiar with Transdimensional Reviews existence, many non-professional people had also appeared in the hall.
For example, the foreign ministers of certain countries, the CEOs of technology corporations, the family heads of influential families, the bigshots of Wall Street
Fortunately, these non-professionals had self-discipline, and they remained silent to not affect the work of the various professionals in the room.
Thats all I want to say. Try to keep in touch with Transdimensionals UP at all times to avoid causing unnecessary confusion, the American representative said. Lowering his microphone, he looked toward the middle-aged team leader representing China and said, I leave this responsibility to your side.
Okay. The middle-aged team leader nodded. He then scanned the documents on his desk and said, Ive shared my summary and plan with everyone already. Does anyone have anything to add? We still have time to make corrections.
At these words, everyone around the table looked at each other for half a minute without voicing any opinions.
Well go through with it, then, Americas representative said, setting the decision in stone. He then waved his hand, causing the main screen in the hall to light up.
Immediately, rows of white bullet comments slid past the black background.
These bullet comments did not originate from ordinary civilians. This broadcasting platform was jointly developed by the various nations, and it broadcasted only Transdimensional Reviews program. Meanwhile, only the various nations professional units and recognized scientific research institutions were allowed to connect to it. This was so that they could communicate and cooperate with each other efficiently.
At the top left of the screen, a series of numbers attracted the audiences attention.
8:42
8:43
Super Floating Castle, Headmasters Tower:
Chen Yu laid on the floor after completing his fifth set of 300 push-ups. While panting, he stood up and accepted the bottled water Little Peach handed him. He then gulped down a mouthful of water.
Mr. Chen, your head is smoking.
This is warm.
Youve been exercising all morning. Why?
I have nothing better to do. After wiping his sweat with a towel, Chen Yu sat down on the nearby bed and gasped for air.
As to why he was working his body since early morning, he felt anxious.
Dont follow me for todays livestream. Keep my family safe. Tossing the towel away, Chen Yu changed into a brand-new robe and took a look at the time. While manipulating the Interstellar Portal, he said, The Hypnosis Rattle and Amnesia Bat are on the table. Make good use of them; dont let anyone wake up. We need to act smart before we uncover the attacker.
Okay. Little Peach picked up the Hypnosis Rattle in a visibly disappointed mood and looked at the row of beds nearby.
Father Chen, Mother Chen, Chen Yike, Chen Erke, and Chen Sanke.
All five of them were lined up neatly on the beds. Naturally, all five of them were unconscious at this moment.
Its 8:50. Ill be leaving now. Make sure to cooperate with Hermione to safeguard the surrounding area. If any dangerous situation crops up, you are allowed to fight back.
Okay! Leave the rear line to me, Little Peach said, patting her chest. Also, what about the husky? It is still at home. Do we need to bring it over?
No need. That animal has practically merged with the Invisibility Cloak now. Even I cant find it if it decides to hide, so its very safe.
After Chen Yu finished speaking, the spatial link was also established. After taking one last glance at his sleeping family, he waved goodbye at Little Peach and stepped through the wooden door, arriving at the frozen land of Siberia.
This place was off the beaten path. Reviewing a dangerous product here should be safe
Bending down, Chen Yu grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it on his face. As he gradually calmed down, he turned around and said goodbye to Little Peach one last time. He then closed the portal and changed its shape to that of a metal arch.
How quiet.
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu took a deep breath. He then walked forward aimlessly, listening to the sound of his footsteps on the snow while he waited for nine oclock to arrive.
8:55
8:58
9:00!
Buzz
His phone suddenly rang.
It seems its going to be a big product.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu opened his WeChat. Sure enough, he found a message sent from the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff member.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, the product this time is too large to receive at your current location.]
[Chen Yu: Not surprising. But even the no-mans land of Siberia isnt suitable for it? Is it a naval product?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its not a product used in a marine environment.]
[Chen Yu: What about the Sahara Desert?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The Sahara Desert is no good, either. You need to go to a much more open space, Mr. Chen.]
Seeing these words, Chen Yus hands couldnt help but shake.
[Chen Yu: Even the Sahara Desert cant hold it? What on earth are you sending to me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youll know in a moment. ?(?????)?]
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu quickly tapped away on his phones screen.
[Chen Yu: Youre not telling me to fly to Earths high orbit to receive it, right?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Even the high orbit is insufficient. Earth will get destroyed if you receive it there.]
[Chen Yu: What the]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You need to go farther away.]
[Chen Yu: Is the solar systems open space enough?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Farther.]
Chen Yu:
[Transdimensional Marketing: The farther away from the solar system, the better]
Chen Yu:
Chapter 368 - Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (2)
Chapter 368 C Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (2)
After standing on the snowy plain in silence for a long time, Chen Yu held up his phone and hesitantly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: Can I change the product for this review?]
[Trandsimensional Marketing: The product has already been prepared and is ready for space-time transmission at any time. It cannot be replaced.]
[Chen Yu: What if I dont broadcast it?]
[Trandsimensional Marketing: Hahahaha]
Chen Yu:
Breathing out a sigh, Chen Yu scratched his head in irritation.
[Chen Yu: Fine. Ill leave the solar system now.]
[Trandsimensional Marketing: We will be monitoring your location at all times and send the product to you once youve reached a suitable location. ??]
Storing away his phone, Chen Yu fell into a daze for a moment before raising his watch to look at the time.
9:08 AM.
I cant continue delaying the stream. Lets just start it.
After adjusting his posture and putting on his opera mask, Chen Yu tapped his finger on his watch and activated the livestream rooms.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[All webcasting platforms worldwide connected!]
52.3 million!
286 million!
632.28 million!
700 million!
The moment he granted access to the public, a frightening number of viewers flooded into the various livestream rooms.
[Ahh!! Its here!]
[First.]
[First, first!]
[Good morning, father, grandfather, ancestor.]
[I dont see the female assistant]
[Dont worry. She might be pregnant.]
[My family and I are watching the livestream together from the basement because I heard that todays stream is going to be very dangerous.]
[If even the Earth itself is destroyed, what meaning is there in hiding under your house?]
[Of course, it is so that you can do shameful things.]
[*Waves hand weakly* Its the end of the world. Isnt it more exciting to do it outside]
[?]
[????]
As usual, Chen Yu waited in silence for two minutes. After seeing that the total viewer count had broken past the 750-million threshold and the increase in viewership had slowed down, he said, Good morning, friends from all over the world. This is Transdimensional Reviews twelfth official livestream, and I am your host. We meet again after a month.
Before we head into the main topic, I need to digress a little bit.
I have seen a lot of peoples comments online during this period. Apart from questions asking about the origin of the future technologies I review, most people are curious about my true identity. To put it simply, many people wish to know who I am.
As for myself, I have never been a person to give partial accounts. Since everyone wishes to know me so much, Ill just come clean. Not only will this satisfy my fans curiosity, but participants of my interactive events can also stop calling Mr. Chen, which sounds quite awkward honestly.
[What the? Youre springing such a big surprise at us right off the bat?]
[My husbands identity is finally getting revealed]
[Fuck! Hes my husband!]
[Have some shame, will you? How much have you sacrificed for him? I have over a tonne of posters of him!]
[You should be the one whos ashamed. Are those posters even officially authorized by the UP? Those are all pirated versions!]
[Stop arguing. So long as the host has me in his heart, I dont care how many sisters I will have. He is everyones husband, alright?]
[So, you women get to take all the benefits? Are we not worthy of being the UPs wives as well? When can men rise up in society? Im angered.]
Meanwhile, in the distant Observer Conference Hall
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, the middle-aged team leaders heart sank. Immediately, he sent a glance at Big Sis Wu, who sat beside him, initiating a silent conversation with her.
Big Sis Wu vaguely raised her thumb and wagged it left and right. (Leader, what should we do?)
In response, the middle-aged team leader quietly scratched his belly-button. (Well observe and react appropriately.)
(Does he think that his identity has been exposed because of the attack, so thats why he doesnt care about keeping his identity a secret anymore?)
(I dont know.) The middle-aged team leader tapped a finger on his armrest.
Leader, please take a look at this (Understood), Big Sis Wu said as she passed a document to the middle-aged team leader.
Simultaneously, everyone else inside the hall focused all of their attention on Chen Yu.
A few seconds later, lowering the tone of his voice through the bowtie voice changer, Chen Yu said, My surname is Chen, and my given name is Xiaochun. Chen Xiaochun.
Go!
Xiaochun Chen!
Look into the name immediately! You have permission to access the database!
Jinzhou Citys Chen Xiaochun Jinzhou Citys Chen Xiaochun
The hall instantly fell into chaos as the various countries representative teams began working frantically to uncover all information on Chen Yu through the given name.
The only exception was Chinas team.
The middle-aged team leader:
Big Sis Wu:
Everyone else on the team:
What?
Simultaneously, inside the living room of an apartment unit near Jinzhou Citys port, Chen Xiaochun, who was drinking and watching Transdimensional Reviews livestream together with his friends, wore a look of confusion on his face.
D-Did he say Chen Xiaochun? Chen Xiaochun asked.
That seems to be the case one of Chen Xiaochuns friends said, his mouth twitching. Moreover, you two sound exactly the same.
Youre going to become famous, another friend said.
What?
I said youre going to become famous, the second friend repeated.
[I almost believed him]
[Am I really Transdimensionals UP?]
[It turns out that the host can change his voice. I nearly ovulated when I heard that manly voice just now. ]
[Friendly reminder: Turn off the bullet comments for a better experience.]
OK, thats enough chit-chat. Lets start todays main topic.
After sending a glance at the flood of bullet comments displayed on his watchs screen, Chen Yu turned around and walked toward the Interstellar Portal. As you can see, I have yet to display todays product to everyone. Its not because I am trying to keep you in suspense. Its just that todays product is extremely hazardous, and it needs to be reviewed at a safe location. Meanwhile, even my current location, Siberia, is far from sufficient to review todays product.
Hence, the search for an evaluation venue will also be included in todays program.
After saying so, Chen Yu arrived before the metal arch and began swiftly manipulating the holographic console.
Seeing this, most of the audience who thought that, for safetys sake, Chen Yu was going to switch the review venue places like the Sahara Desert, Antarctica, or even outside of Earth, on Mars, or at the solar systems edge, couldnt help but feel a sense of security.
[The UP really is a caring person. He knows how to protect the environment.]
[I knew it. I knew the nonsense spouted by the media cannot be trusted. The host isnt a fool. If he blew up the Earth, where would he live?]
[Everyone, you can leave your underground bunkers now.]
However, immediately afterward, the spectating audience felt that something was amiss.
This was because Chen Yu did not use the Interstellar Portal to teleport directly to the review venue. Instead, he teleported to the Super Floating Castles airport and ascended the Type-R Spacecraft
The next moment, the spacecraft lifted off the ground. Chen Yu then waved his hand at the camera and said, Lets move two light-years away from the solar system and see if thats a sufficiently safe distance.
[?]
[??]

[!!!!!]
Chapter 369 - Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (3)
Chapter 369 C Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (3)
Lets move two light-years away from the solar system and see if thats a sufficiently safe distance.
When this sentence echoed through every corner of the Observer Conference Hall, everyone in the room promptly fell into a state of bewilderment.
With trembling hands, Britains representative said in a hoarse tone, Please rewind a little. I seemed to have misheard just now.
After the on-site staff turned to look at Americas representative briefly, he rewound the video playing in the special livestream room by half a minute.
Lets move two light-years away from the solar system and see if thats a sufficiently safe distance.
Two light-years
Bang!
Britains representative slammed his palms onto the table as he shouted, What the hell is he reviewing?! Why does he need to move two light-years away?!
Earth is about one light-year away from the solar systems edge. If hes going to a location thats two light-years away from the solar system, the total distance should be three light-years, Frances representative corrected.
You shut up!
OK. Frances representative raised his hands in submission. You speak.
Contact him! We must contact him! The fact that he needs to go so far away to conduct his review proves that the product carries extreme danger! We have the right to know what it is!
Those in agreement, raise your hand. Due to the urgency of the situation, Americas representative did not waste time with worths and immediately began the voting procedure.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
All 122 representatives present raised their hands simultaneously.
Passed. After confirming the decision, Americas representative looked toward the middle-aged team leader and said, Contact him. At the very least, we need to know how dangerous the product is exactly, and if there is a need for us to evacuate the citizens.
Okay.
Nodding, the middle-aged team leader accepted the tablet Big Sis Wu handed to him. He then had his fingerprint scanned and relayed the conferences decision to his superior.
Two minutes later, his superior approved the conferences request. An operator stationed in a military base in Beijing then unlocked the computer before him. Under the attention of many armed soldiers and leaders, he accessed Bilibilis platform, entered the private conversation room with Transdimensional Reviews channel, and typed away at the keyboard.
[Chinese Government: Dear Mr. Chen, we are very worried about the dangers of your review product. Can you please explain it to us in detail so that we can prepare beforehand?]
Sirs, is this alright? the operator asked out loud.
In another room, over a dozen think tanks scrutinized the sentence meticulously, sweat covering their foreheads. Only after pondering for half a minute did they give the green light to the sentence.
Meanwhile, upon seeing the green light, the general supervisor approached the computer and sternly had his fingerprint scanned, completing the final step of authorization. Only then did the short message consisting of two dozen words or so get sent.
Less than two minutes later, Chen Yu responded.
[Transdimensional Review: Dont be afraid. The review cannot be called off. Although I dont know what product will get sent, I will try to move as far away as possible. Todays review should be much safer compared to the beast armor and antimatter bomb reviews.]
Quick! Forward the message! Send a copy to the team leader, higher-ups, and several think tank groups! the supervisor commanded.
Yes, sir.
The tedious and careful communication process took place slowly.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu, who had long since flown out of Earths atmosphere on the Type-R Spacecraft, leisurely responded to the Chinese Government.
Roughly ten minutes later, both sides concluded their talks.
Exiting his private conversation room in Bilibili, Chen Yu faced away from the camera and pulled out his phone. He then entered WeChat and typed a message.
[Chen Yu: Sis, are you sure Earth wont be endangered?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: So long as you move to a sufficiently distant location, the products arrival wont have any impact on the solar system. As to whether the product would pose any danger to the solar system afterward, that would depend on how you make use of it.]
[Chen Yu: Should I go a little further than the minimum distance, then?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That would be meaningless. Once a problem occurs, everything within a radius of hundreds of light-years would be sent to purgatory.]
[Chen Yu: Fuck Just what did you apply for me?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
[Chen Yu: I cant possibly travel several hundred light-years away, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: If you are worried, you can move away from Earths ecliptic.]
[Chen Yu: Will leaving the ecliptic plane increase Earths safety?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: In theory, yes. The lethality of the product will be sharply reduced from 433TT to 41TT.]
[Chen Yu: I see! How big is the difference between 433TT and 41TT?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Not much. The solar system would be doomed regardless.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you have any other questions, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: No. Thank you for your damned answer.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: I am only doing what I should.]
Fuck.
Turning off his phone, Chen Yu took a deep breath and maintained a calm appearance externally.
Currently, he had hundreds of millions of people watching him. If he showed even the slightest bit of worry on his face, it could end up causing a frightening chain reaction.
This is what it means to be a man. I have to use my shoulders to bear all pressures for the world and maintain the stable operation of civilization
Sighing, Chen Yu turned around and narrated to the camera, The spacecraft is closing in on the asteroid belt. Well be exiting the suns strong gravitational field soon. Once were out, we can start FTL navigation. A measly journey of two light-years wont take long to complete, so please wait patiently.
Also, Ill say this here. Out of the many reviews Ive conducted, have I ever caused harm to Earth or humans before? I have even saved Earth from an asteroid collision before. Hence, please rest assured. Do not believe the unreliable rumors on the internet.
How about this? With my reputation on the line, I promise that Ill pay you back tenfold if I destroy Earth. How about it? Sincere, right? Subscribe to the channel if you like it.
[Just listen to him. Are these words a human should say?]
[I think Ill head back to my basement.]
[Yes, do it. You can get buried straight away if things go wrong.]
[Dont be too mean. The UP is already doing his best. Also, if hes not confident, would he dare promise to compensate us tenfold?]
[Who would believe that?!]
[I have something I need to say. I suddenly realized that after the UP appeared, Earth seems to be facing many more dangers]
[Severely disrupting public order is punishable by death.]
Amidst the tide of bullet comments, the Type-R Spacecraft quickly passed through the asteroid belt and left the suns strong gravitational field.
For the sake of the programs progression, Chen Yu had the spacecraft begin traveling at 5,000 times the speed of light without hesitation.
[Speed of Light x5,000!]
[15 AU/s!]
In an instant, the spatial lens phenomenon took place, and space within the cabin became distorted and bizarre.
At our current speed, exiting the solar system and moving an additional two light-years away will take around two hours and forty-five minutes. If you find the subsequent journey to be boring, you can leave to deal with your own matters and return three hours later.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the livestreams total viewer count instantly plummeted. Very quickly, only 300 million viewers remained.
Transdimensional Review was indeed the most shocking and magical existence to have appeared in human history. However, to ordinary people, its importance was still not comparable to their daily lives.
Once the program got boring, not many people were willing to wait before their screens to witness the so-called making of history.
Subsequently, time passed by quickly.
As Chen Yu remained silent throughout the journey, the leftover audience in the various livestream rooms treated the bullet comment sections as a large chat room and began talking about various topics. For example, they talked about delicacies, mountaineering, music, basketball, games, etc.
Interestingly, no topic remained civilized for more than a dozen sentences before a war of curses began between millions of people.
Only when pornography came up as a topic did everyone show alike-minded friendship
Two hours and forty-five minutes later
The Type-R Spacecraft came to an abrupt stop, and space within the cabin returned to normal.
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu stood up and looked back at the solar system. He then faced the camera and said, Sorry for the long wait. Weve delayed the start of the review for nearly three hours. Now, it is finally time for the livestream to officially begin
Friends, liven up the bullet comment section!
Chapter 370 - Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (4)
Chapter 370 C Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (4)
The livestream was beginning to fail.
Unlike past livestreams, the twelfth official livestream faced a rocky journey right off the bat.
Initially, Chen Yu thought that he would have reached a sufficiently safe distance after traveling a total of three light-years away from Earth. However, even after he had waited in silence together with his audience for three minutes, he did not see a space-time wormhole appearing.
After contacting the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff, he found out that a distance of three light-years still wasnt sufficiently far, and he still needed to travel even farther
Finally, after flying for another six hours and moving a total of ten light-years away from Earth, Chen Yu received a message on his phone.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Your current location is fine. It will just barely not affect the solar system.]
With his back facing against the camera, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before typing a reply.
[Chen Yu: Youre telling me a distance of 90 trillion kilometers is just barely enough to prevent the product from affecting the solar system?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, Mr. Chen.]
[Chen Yu: Are you sending me Buddha?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
Storing his phone away, Chen Yu turned back to the camera. After pondering in silence for a moment, he suddenly said in a loud voice, Friends in the livestream rooms, this is Transdimensional Reviews twelfth official livestream, and I am your host. We meet again after a month
[Meet my ass!]
[No comment]
[Daddy! Its already 7 PM!]
[Ive been staring at my screen for 10 hours now.]
[Wheres the product? We want to see the product!]
[UP: I reviewed loneliness.]
[The host traveled across so many light-years just for us. We should be cheering for him.]
[Host, you might as well fly out of the Milky Way. Thatll be safer.]
[I already ate all the rations in my basement, yet youre telling me the stream hasnt even started]
Cough. Chen Yu let out an awkward cough as he looked at the bullet comments appearing on his watchs screen. Sternly, he said, I truly apologize for the long delay. Actually, I could already receive the product when I was two light-years away from the solar system. However, just as some among the audience has said, I decided to travel an additional seven light-years away for the solar systems safety. I hope you can understand this.
It is currently 6:30 PM Beijing time, and 320 million people are watching the stream. To let more people catch the exciting livestream, Ive decided to start receiving the product at seven oclock exactly. I hope everyone can help spread this information on the internet and call your uninformed friends to join the livestream.
After saying so, Chen Yu bowed slightly and disconnected the livestreams audio. He then walked out of the cameras view, entered a private room, and began preparing dinner.
He hadnt eaten anything throughout the ten-hour journey. He was so hungry now that his stomach was even cramping.
Dammit. If I knew I had to move so far, I shouldve started flying since last night.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yu prepared a simple meal for himself and finished it. He then laid on the sofa and took a short nap.
At seven oclock, Chen Yu left the room and stood before the camera. He then raised his wrist and took a look at his watch.
The number of concurrent viewers had reached 800 million!
He had traveled across ten light-years and delayed the stream by ten hours. As a result, many people grew even more curious to find out what kind of product Chen Yu would be revealed today.
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu sorted out the words in his mind and reconnected the livestreams audio. It is 7 PM Beijing time now. Sorry for the long wait, everyone. Next, Ill skip the chit-chat and open the space-time wormhole to officially welcome todays review product!
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and sent a message to the marketing staff.
[Chen Yu: Send it over now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: OK.]
After receiving a reply, Chen Yu lightly tapped the finger sleeve on his middle finger.
Boom!
Accompanied by a burst of colorful lights, the EI Force Field was activated.
Flying out of the spacecraft, Chen Yu looked at the endless universe around him. He then directed the camera forward.
Look, the wormhole is opening.
At Chen Yus words, the livestreams hundreds of millions of viewers looked at their screens intently. Sure enough, a rotating wormhole was currently expanding in the deep space ahead.
[Now that I see this thing again, it really looks magical.]
[Since its called a space-time wormhole, does this mean we can go to the future if we pass through it?]
[Logically, if people from the future can send products to us through it, it should be possible for us to travel to the future using it.]
[How exciting!]
[It looks like an expanding black hole]
[That Isnt there something wrong?]
[Yeah. Isnt the wormhole a little too big?]
[I suddenly recall the Super Floating Castle stream. That was a real shocker.]
[Wait! Its still growing bigger!]
[It seems the streams about to capsize]
Everyone, dont worry. Its a high-tech product from the future. Its reasonable for it to be big, Chen Yu said with his hands on his hips. The wormhole is roughly the size of an asteroid only right now. Its nothing. Not to mention, youre ten light-years away. Even if an asteroid collision occurs here, you have nothing to worry about.
Three minutes later,
The grayish-white wormhole was still expanding, and its existence created a sharp and cold contrast with the surrounding dark space.
Its about the size of the moon. Mhm This is normal. I long since expected the product to be such a size. Dont panic.
Five minutes later.
The wormholes expansion accelerated! Now, the edge of the wormhole was even close to touching the space Chen Yu hovered at.
Without hesitation, Chen Yu stopped posing and returned to the Type-R Spacecraft without hesitation. He then began rapidly flying away from the wormhole.
Of course, he still didnt forget to spout nonsense from his mouth. Its almost the size of Earth now, but this is technology from the future. Its normal for it to be big. It is all within my control. Now, let us continue our observation from a farther location.
Eight minutes later.
Chen Yu, who had fled to a great distance, looked back at the wormhole that had blocked out half his vision of the universe.
Interesting. It is still expanding
Ten minutes later.
Thirteen minutes later.
Dont worry, everyone. The spacecrafts flying speed is faster than the wormholes expansion speed. There is no danger on my side.
Fifteen minutes later.
Steady. Chen Yu smiled stiffly.
Eighteen minutes later.
Twenty minutes later.
Twenty-five minutes later
I cant start FTL navigation?! Why is this useless things normal speed so slow?! Sweat began covering Chen Yus back as he looked at the rapidly approaching wormhole behind him.
Twenty-eight minutes later
Crap! Hurry up! Isnt this thing even bigger than the sun now?! What the heck is getting sent here?!
[Amen.]
[This is too cruel. I cant help but take a screenshot.]
[Why is it so big? Even space colonization ships cant be this massive, right?]
[I think the UP got scammed.]
[Im growing a little scared. Will this wormhole possibly reach Earth?]
[Its about time to start the Wandering Earth Project]
[Are you sure thats a space-time wormhole?! Or is it a destructive weapon similar to the two-way foil?!]
After repeatedly failing to activate the spacecrafts FTL navigation mode, Chen Yu finally began panicking. Pulling out his phone, he frantically typed out a WeChat message.
[Chen Yu: You there?!]
The other side did not reply.
[Chen Yu: You there?! Sis, are you there?!]
The other side still did not reply.
[Chen Yu: Sis, I was wrong! I wont ever ask if youre there or not! Cant you please show yourself?!]
[Chen Yu: Im really sorry, alright?! The wormhole is about to devour me!]
[Chen Yu: I swear! I swear, alright?! I wont ask if youre there ever again! Ill pour chili sauce down my butt otherwise!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ( ????)]
[Chen Yu: Crap, you finally came. Sis, what should I do now?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: What do you mean?]
[Chen Yu: Didnt you say the wormhole cant accommodate living people? Its about to swallow me whole soon! What the heck are you sending me?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: This product is incredibly large. Hence, the wormhole will continue expanding. How far away from the wormhole are you right now?]
Seeing this message, Chen Yu took a look behind him.
[Chen Yu: Its already right up my bum.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Theres no saving you now. Just wait for death. Goodbye.]
[Chen Yu: ???]
Although the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff was cruel with her words, she still ended up slowing down the wormholes expansion speed.
Seeing this, Chen Yu immediately breathed out a sigh of relief and focused all his attention on piloting the spacecraft.
After he had escaped to a certain distance, the wormhole began expanding rapidly once more, covering up more than half the universe captured by the camera.
Whoosh
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yu stopped the spacecraft and flew out of the cabin with the EI Force Fields help. He then stared at the space-time wormhole that had stopped growing, his mind falling into disarray.
At this moment, he finally had an intuitive understanding of the Transdimensional Marketing Companys abilities.
If opening wormholes required resources, how much did it cost to open such a massive wormhole?
It looks like its over. Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, Chen Yu faced the camera and asked, Everyone, do you know how big this wormhole is right now? According to the spacecrafts calculations, this unidentified object has a diameter exceeding 4.2 astronomical units.
Converted to kilometers, thats 620 million kilometers.
Honestly, I can no longer imagine what will come out of this wormhole.
[This is maddening!]
[Is the future human civilization migrating to our space-time?]
[Im an uncultured fool, so I only know how to say Crap.]
[The same is true for me.]
[Crap.]
[The same is true for me.]
[Same, my ass! Somethings coming out!]
[Its coming out! Crap! Crap! Its really coming out!]
[Its coming! I-Its c-c-coming!!!]
Chapter 371 - Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (5)
Chapter 371: Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (5)
Chapter 371 C Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (5)
From the audiences perspective, it looked as if the grayish-white wormhole had enveloped half of the universe.
Meanwhile, when the wormhole stopped expanding, a faint, blue light gradually burst out from within the wormhole like a budding flower.
This is
Chen Yu couldnt help but gape in shock by the sight before him.
The light continuously expanded.
It began from one dot before instantly expanding into a line. The light then spread out to cover a significant portion of the wormhole.
The next moment, a blue fireball of gargantuan size revealed one-millionth of itself to the livestreams 800 million audiences.
However, despite revealing only one-millionth of its true body, everyone among the audience already understood the blue fireballs true identity
[A star!]
[What the heck! Its a whole star!]
[Its even a blue giant.]
[Its really a star]
[No wonder why the host needed to move 10 light-years away. If another star appears within close proximity of the solar system, the solar system would instantly disintegrate.]
[This is maddening!]
[Is this how youngsters have fun nowadays?]
[Youre telling me this is a blue giant? That wormhole spans 620 million kilometers, and you dare say it is just a blue giant?!]
[A blue supergiant]
[Ill go drink some dichlorvos to calm down.]
[Ill drink some as well.]
[After seeing this thing, I can finally walk out of my basement with confidence. Ill head to the rooftop now. It shouldnt be too crowded yet]
A star Chen Yu muttered dazedly to himself as he hovered in space. A moment later, though, his consciousness returned to reality. He then hurriedly pulled out a phone and typed a message.
[Chen Yu: Get out here right this instant!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It seems you received the product. Are you satisfied with it, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: You call this thing a product?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats right. Is there a problem?]
[Chen Yu: Thats a star, OK? You actually sent a star to me?! Are you even human?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Strictly speakingprobably not.]
Chen Yu:
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, I understand what you wish to say. However, this star is no ordinary star. It is considered a type of technology. You can conduct a wonderful review with it.]
Chen Yus spirit shuddered at this message.
[Chen Yu: Its not an ordinary star? Youre saying its artificially-made?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. To be precise, it is artificially-modified.]
I see! Realization dawned upon Chen Yu. He then turned back to get a better look at the rising blue supergiant. The more he looked at it, the more he found it to be strange.
[Chen Yu: I think I guessed it. Is it a weapon?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: How did you know? (surprised face)]
[Chen Yu: This is the wisdom of the wise.]
Putting away his phone, Chen Yu calmed down and adjusted the camera angle. He then said in a bright tone. As everyone can see, the protagonist for todays livestream is this object in front of usa blue supergiant!
Currently, not even one-ten thousandth of its body has manifested. Once it fully manifests, it can easily devour close to half of the solar system.
Then, before its successful delivery, I will use this time to explain to everyone what a blue supergiant is, why it is so big, and how much bigger it is compared to the sun.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised three fingers before the camera. Firstly, as we all know, stars are celestial bodies composed of large clusters of molecular clouds. According to their masses, they are mainly divided into three types: brown dwarfs, low-mass stars, and high-mass stars. Our sun belongs to the second category.
Aside from brown dwarfs, both low- and high-mass stars will expand violently when they enter old age due to the exhaustion of hydrogen. You can think of them as balloons that are being inflated. They will grow to hundreds or thousands of times their original and eventually become supergiant stars. Meanwhile, red stars are called red supergiants, while blue stars are called blue supergiants.
When an old supergiant exhausts its last trace of fuel, the energy that breaks loose from it will no longer be sufficient to support its heavy outer shell. As a result, the shell will collapse inward towards the core.
In astronomy, this process is called a supernova explosion. It is the most terrifying explosion in the universe. The ionizing radiation that erupts from the explosion can illuminate an entire galaxy within a short period! The gamma-ray bursts will also destroy everything at close range! It doesnt matter if youre Naruto, Goku, or Ultraman. Everyone that comes into contact with these gamma-ray bursts will die without question. You wont be safe even if youre several hundred light-years away!
After the explosion ends, if the supergiant in question is on the small side of the scale, it will collapse into a neutron star. If it is a large supergiant, it will directly shrink into a black hole and devour all matter around it.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu gave his audience some time to think. He then pointed at the blue supergiant ahead and said, Meanwhile, the product were going to review today is a blue supergiant. Based on its mass, once it dies, it will most likely become a black hole.
During Chen Yus narration, the blue supergiant had also squeezed out of the space-time wormhole completely and revealed itself before everyones eyes.
Upon laying eyes on the blue supergiant, only one word came to everyones minds.
Big!
Big!!
Big!!!
It was unimaginably and indescribably big.
Let alone Earth, even the sun would look no different than a grain of rice in front of this blue supergiant.
[I think Im losing my mind]
[Compared to this thing, humans cant even be considered viruses. Yet, despite being insignificantly small, humans can transport it around as if it was a basketball.]
[I have a question. How much energy does it cost to teleport a star?]
[I only care whether its gravity will affect the solar system.(s㧥)sߩߣ]
[Its 10 light-years away. The impact should be minimal.]
[Arent stars celestial bodies? Theyre not high-tech products, so whats there to review?]
After returning to the spacecraft, Chen Yu had the spacecraft fly toward the blue supergiant at full speed. He also collected data on the supergiant and introduced it to everyone.
According to the spacecrafts scan, this supergiant has a surface temperature of 11,078C, a mass of 3.58010*31 kg, and a diameter of more than 600 million kilometers. If used to replace the sun, it will engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. As for Jupiter, it will just be a stones throw away.
It is truly a terrifying behemoth!
At this point, Im sure many among the audience must be wondering whether a star can also be considered a technological product, right?
Of course not. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, However, this star isnt an ordinary star. It is an artificially-modified star that is filled with the science and technology of the future human civilization. Everyone, can you guess what this products true identity is?
[A power plant?]
[A gravitational accelerator?]
[It should be a trash disposal site, right?]
[Maybe its a decoration.]
Thats right! After looking at the unreadable wall of text on his watchs screen, Chen Yu nodded, opened his arms, and exclaimed, Using a supergiant as its hull and high temperature and high pressure as weapons, it is a stellar battleship capable of destroying even planets and stars!
[Awesome!]
[Crap! Awesome!]
[Wow! Thats awesome.]
[Awesome, awesome]
Buzz
At this time, Chen Yus phone vibrated, interrupting his following words.
Frowning, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and entered WeChat, finding a message from the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
[Transdimensional Marketing: You made a mistake. What do you mean by stellar battleship? There is no such thing.]
[Chen Yu: What the fak? Didnt you say its a weapon?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is a weapon, but it isnt a stellar battleship]
[Chen Yu: Dont these things frequently appear in sci-fi films?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats a Neutron Star Warship. Youve mixed them up]
Raising his head, Chen Yu looked at the approaching supergiant and felt a little dissatisfied.
[Chen Yu: What is it, then?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Through artificial modification, the proportion of internal elements has been adjusted, and the density of heavy elements has been compressed, allowing it to become a one-time strategic weapon that reaches the supernova-level.]
[Chen Yu: You mean]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. This is a galaxy-level super bomb.]
Chen Yus complexion instantly paled.
[Transdimensional Marketing: The kind that is about to explode.]
Chapter 372 - Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (6)
Chapter 372 C Maddening Twelfth Official Livestream! (6)
Creak
The Type-R Spacecraft suddenly braked and came to a complete halt.
Rubbing his eyes, Chen Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at the line of text displayed on his phone once more.
Its about to explode?!
Chen Yus complexion paled instantly. With stiff fingers, he quickly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: Grandma, this joke isnt funny at all.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes, thats why Im not joking.]
Seeing this message, Chen Yu turned to his watch and watched as his ignorant audience was still rambling about in the bullet comment section. After taking a deep breath, he typed another reply.
[Chen Yu: By soon, do you mean it on the universes perspective or human perspective?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Of course it is from the universes perspective. If its based on the human perspective, wouldnt we be watching our fellow people die right now?]
Crap, that gave me a scare
Seeing the marketing staffs reply, Chen Yu immediately breathed out a sigh of relief.
[Chen Yu: Can you stop speaking so vaguely in the future? I have the lives of over seven billion humans on my shoulders. I cant afford the stress.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youre the one whos overthinking things.]
[Chen Yu: Be more specific. How long will it be before this thing detonates? If were judging by the universes perspective, it should be several tens of thousands of years, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: There are four months left.]
[Chen Yu: Four months, is it? Alright, got it.]
Chen Yu: !!!
[Chen Yu: What did you say?! There are only four months left?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Thats right. ??]
[Chen Yu: You Do you even understand what from the universes perspective means?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: From a humans perspective, isnt soon referring to several minutes later?]
[Chen Yu: Is there even a difference between several minutes and several months?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Four months is enough for Earth to rotate 120 times.]
With his back against the camera, Chen Yus complexion turned pale as he typed out a message with shaking hands.
[Chen Yu: Can I return the product now?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, the cost of transporting such a large object is ten times the manufacturing cost of this galaxy bomb. The Transdimensional Marketing Company cannot afford such an expenditure. We wont be able to afford it even if we sell our entire company. Hence, we cant recollect this product. We hope you can understand this.]
[Chen Yu: How did you even send it to me in the first place, then?!]
After Chen Yu sent his message, the other side remained silent for some time before responding.
[Transdimensional Marketing: It is impossible to explain everything in just one or two sentences. I will send you a product manual now. It contains a lot of detailed history about this galaxy bomb. You will understand everything once you read it.]
Afterward, a Word file appeared in the conversation window.
After choosing to download it, Chen Yu turned to face the camera. Maintaining a calm expression, he said, Friends in the livestream rooms, there seems to be a little mistake. This blue supergiant isnt a stellar battleship, but another type of weapon instead. I still dont understand the details, but the instruction manual has already been sent over. Please wait a moment. I will give everyone an introduction once I finish reading it.
Rest assured, everything is under control.
After saying so, Chen Yu ignored the flood of bullet comments and opened the downloaded Word file. He then began reading every line and word in it.
Naturally, the more he read, the uglier his face became
Simultaneously, inside the Observer Conference Hall on the distant Earth
Silence enveloped the room as everyone stared at the star displayed on the main screen.
That was a star.
To be precise, it was a blue supergiant whose volume was 456,000 times larger and 55,000 times brighter than the sun!
Meanwhile, this blue supergiant was only ten light-years away from them.
This
Removing his glasses, Koreas representative sighed and massaged his temples. This is already beyond the scope of what we can handle.
This has been the case since the first livestream, Americas representative said with dazed eyes. All of humanity is nothing but a group of ants looking at an elephant. Whether humanity lives or dies will depend on whether this elephant makes a mistake or not.
Evidently, as the episode count increases, his livestreams products will become increasingly dangerous. Mistakes will inevitably occur. It is only a matter of when it will occur. Standing up from his seat, Japans representative said with cold eyes, We cannot just sit and wait for death to claim us. We cannot ignore this crisis for immediate benefits.
Everyone present in the room was a smart person. They could naturally understand what the Japanese representative was hinting at. However, they were also smart enough to not voice out their own opinions on the matter.
After all, who knew whether Transdimensionals UP had secretly installed surveillance equipment within the hall?
Moreover, not everyone shared the same views, factions, organizations, ideas, and awareness. Spouting nonsense here would only invite death to both their own and their respective countries doorsteps.
In a sense, the Japanese representative was a courageous person.
After the Japanese representative stopped speaking, silence enveloped the hall for three whole minutes.
After sorting out the words in his mind, the middle-aged team leader grabbed the microphone before him and spoke softly, There are two sides to every story. Dont always focus on the bad side. The products Transdimensional Review reveal are indeed becoming increasingly dangerous, but they also bring increasingly greater benefits to humanity. In just one short year, we have managed to gain a new understanding of the universe through his perspective.
The middle-aged team leader paused slightly to let his words sink into everyones minds. After noticing that everyones gaze had gathered on himself, he continued, The universe is a dangerous place. Since we live in this universe, we naturally cannot avoid danger. Transdimensionals UP has made a good comment during the previous livestream.
The universe is cruel, and the development of civilization is tortuous. Whether it is for individuals or races, efficiency is the right way to go.
Although the monthly reviews are dangerous, and they will become even more dangerous in the future, we cannot deny the scientific and technological progress we have made thanks to these reviews. We can potentially travel across the path that other civilizations would normally need thousands or tens of thousands of years to travel in just a few years. From the standpoint of humanity as a whole, these benefits are worth the risks.
I agree. The Russian representative raised his hand. Not to mention, we dont have a choice.
At these words, the room fell silent once more.
However, everyone knew that cracks had also started appearing in the originally stable special alliance.
Meanwhile, this scene was also captured by the surveillance cameras in the room
Inside the Type-R Spacecraft ten light-years away
Chen Yu spent ten minutes reading the entire instruction manual.
When he arrived at the product history recorded on the last few pages, he even thoroughly read the section three times to make sure he did not misread anything. Once he was done reading the pages, though, he finally understood the galaxy bombs conception.
He also understood why the Transdimensional Marketing Company had been willing to take a loss to send this galaxy bomb to him.
In fact, he also gained a deeper understanding of his relationship with the Transdimensional Marketing Company.
Sure enough, whether it was in the past, present, or future, there were no free lunches in this world.
The only things that existed were interests and conspiracies
Slowly putting away his phone, Chen Yu remained silent for a long while. Then, even while knowing he had over 800 million people watching him, he still couldnt help but curse out loud.
Dammit! This bunch of crazy bastards!
Chapter 373 - Earthlings…Are Bloody Damned Ruthless!
Chapter 373 C EarthlingsAre Bloody Damned Ruthless!
Since humanity entered the atomic age, strategic weapons have never disappeared.
Whether it was for self-protection or offense, humans always needed to have some kind of weapon capable of deterring their enemies.
In fact, even before the industrial age, strategic weapons had already started appearing in various senses.
Meanwhile, such weapons came with their own pros and cons.
From a positive perspective, having strategic weapons allowed countries to keep each other in check.
From a negative perspective, once the false peace was broken, strategic weapons such as nuclear weapons would bring a devastating blow to human civilization.
However, so long as this false peace was maintained, strategic weapons would undoubtedly bring more good than bad.
As such, in the future, when humans finally stepped out of the solar system and discovered the existence of alien civilizations, the first thing they thought of was to create a strategic weapon that could deter their enemies and allow them to develop in peace.
Meanwhile, the blue supergiant the Transdimensional Marketing Company sent to Chen Yu was one of these strategic weapons.
It was developed in the year 7041 AD.
Around that time, when the neighboring intelligent civilizations were still researching weapons such as quantum cannonballs, high-aggregation destruction curtains, primary dimension manipulators, etc., humanity, a race born with the talent for waging wars, had already set its sights on the entire Milky Way.
Hence
Without rest, humans began frantically collecting many old stars. Afterward, under the bewildered gazes of the surrounding civilizations, humans modified these dying red and blue supergiants, producing 175 galaxy bombs in just 120 years. They then scattered these bombs to various areas of the Milky Way galaxy, adjusted their angles, and strived to maximize the area of damage.
With just the push of a button, these bombs would detonate simultaneously, destroying the entire Milky Way!
The resulting explosion would most likely be second to only the Big Bang.
(Humanity: If were going down, all of you will go down with us! Ahahaha!)
At this point, the entire galaxy was stunned.
Even some of the more advanced intelligent civilizations had never seen such a crazy civilization before, and the conclusion they had was
Earthlings are ruthless
However, as everyone knew, there was a price to acting tough.
Supergiants were celestial bodies. They were not existences that intelligent creatures could freely manipulate.
While it might be easy to alter a stars element ratio, reverting the changes was nigh-impossible.
A thousand years went by in the blink of an eye.
Those galaxy bombs had exhausted their hydrogen element one after another, reaching the end of their lifespan and entering their pre-death phase.
These galaxy bombs were not rubbish that could be tossed away easily. They couldnt be destroyed like nuclear weapons, either. Yet, once these stars collapsed, the chain supernovas that came afterward would thoroughly clean the Milky Way.
Detonating these galaxy bombs individually wasnt a feasible idea, either. The Milky Way galaxy was too crowded. The gamma-ray bursts that resulted from the explosions would kill everything they reached.
Initially, humans worried greatly about this problem.
However, when humans discovered that the other races were even more worried about this problem, they suddenly stopped worrying about it.
Seeing their neighbors reactions, humans decided to utilize two of their other talentsconducting negotiations and acting like a hoodlum. Humanity chose to negotiate with civilized civilizations, asking them to bear the terrifying cost of sending away these ticking time bombs through space-time wormholes.
What? You disagree? Theres nothing else to discuss, then. Lets just set off these fireworks together. Who knows? Maybe some civilizations will get lucky and avoid extinction?
Hence.
This blue supergiant with a remaining shelf life of only four months was sent to Chen Yus side.
Evidently, over a hundred other reviewers living in parallel space-times had similarly received one.
Dammit! This bunch of crazy bastards!
Slowly putting away his phone, Chen Yus face under his mask revealed an uncertain expression.
This was no longer purely a business partnership. For the more advanced space-time, the ancient space-time was merely a waste disposal plant that they could dump their garbage and troubles at freely.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Yu held up his phone again and typed a reply.
[Chen Yu: So, all that nice things you said before about a reward is basically your way of shirking responsibility?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, you misunderstand us. We are not shirking responsibility.]
[Chen Yu: What are you trying to do, then?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: We are dumping away our troubles.]
[Chen Yu: I want to issue a complaint.] (Unsent)
[Chen Yu: Forget it. Ignore my last sentence. The only question I have now is how exactly do I deal with this thing. If it explodes at this place, Earth is dead.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: You can push it away!]
[Chen Yu: Do you think I can move it with a donkey?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: It shouldnt be possible]
[Chen Yu: Fuck! What should I do, then?! There are only four months left!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: What can you possibly do with just four months?]
Chen Yu:
[Chen Yu: I have a feeling that youre taking revenge on me right now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ?? Youre overthinking things. Four months is more than enough for us to send you an excellent traction product. You can drag the star away with it at that time.]
[Chen Yu: Im really finding it difficult to believe you right now. Tell me straight away. How far can that product drag this star away?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Dragging it a hundred light-years away shouldnt be a problem.]
[Chen Yu: Whats the point, then?! Isnt Earth still dead when it explodes?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, calm down. Although 100 light-years is a short distance, so long as you offset the star 30 away from the solar system, the gamma-ray burst will not harm the Milky Way.]
[Chen Yu: What about the remaining threats?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: At most, all electronic devices on Earth will be scrapped.]
Looking up, Chen Yu gazed at the blue supergiant outside the spacecraft and held his forehead in pain.
Friends, please wait a little longer. There is still a small problem. It will be solved immediately.
After calming the audience with a few words, Chen Yu resumed typing a message.
[Chen Yu: Fine. I surrender. Send it to me next month.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That wont do. I have already applied for an even more amazing product for next months review. I cant change it.]
[Chen Yu: More?! Youre telling me you applied for more?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its only an adjective. The danger it poses is significantly lower. I swear.]
[Chen Yu: Can we discuss this? Theres no way I can explain this star to all of humanity, yet you want to make things worse?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Maybe you should just write a complaint about me. Send it to the main branchs customer service department located in the Kuiper Belt in 4552. My employee number is 23333.]
[Chen Yu: Fine. Just you wait.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mhm, mhm.]
Putting away his phone, Chen Yu closed his eyes and calmed himself for a moment. He then turned to the camera, spread out his arms, and opened his eyes.
Dear viewers, sorry for the long wait.
Let me tell you some good news. This blue supergiant isnt something as dangerous as a stellar battleship. Actually, it is
Haha, its just a big firecracker!
Chapter 374 - Salute the Hero!
Chapter 374 C Salute the Hero!
Dear viewers, sorry for the long wait. I have already read the detailed information about this product, so we can now begin with the introduction.
Forcing out a laugh, Chen Yu pointed at the blue supergiant and said, Let me tell you some good news. This blue supergiant isnt something as dangerous as a stellar battleship. Actually, its just a big firecracker!
[??]
[???]
[You call that a firecracker?]
[Nian: ][1]
[I might not have received a lot of education, but even I am not that dumb]
[UP! Youre going too far! Do you take us for fools? Thats at least a firework, right?]
[??]
[A firecracker, hahaha]
[I cant bring myself to laugh at all. Im not interested in Transdimensional Review either. I only want to know if this big star will have any effects on Earth.]
[The host has already clearly stated that once the supergiant dies, the resulting gamma-ray burst will light up the entire Milky Way. Do you think there wont be any effects on Earth?]
[Crap!]
Alright, I admit that this firecracker is a little big, Chen Yu said, doing his best to stabilize the emotions of his audience.
It should be known that he currently had over 800 million IP addresses connected to his livestream! Moreover, who knew how many people were gathered behind each IP address? Faced against such numbers, if he handled the situation poorly, it would cause chaos to envelop the entire world.
Like I said before, the collapse of a supergiant is exceptionally lethal. Any planet hit by the resulting gamma-ray burst will turn into purgatory instantly. However, similar to the firecrackers we have, so long as we do not detonate it, it wont pose a threat.
Now, please loosen your thoughts and stop focusing on its nature as a weapon. Pointing an index finger at the blue supergiant, Chen Yu spoke softly, Let us strip off its natural pride, exclude outside interferences, and assume that it is only an ordinary supergiant Look at how big and round it is? Doesnt it look cute?
Hence, everyone need not worry. Although this blue supergiant is already near the end of its lifespan, a short time for the vast universe is a long time for humans.
Moreover, I am a product reviewer. If I get everyone killed, who would I advertise my products to?
[Emmm. I guess everythings alright?]
[But why do I still feel that somethings amiss?]
[He sounds a bit bureaucratic( ????)]
[Am I the only one who thinks that its boring if the host doesnt detonate the star?]
[Youre not alone.]
[+1]
[Since this thing isnt a stellar battleship, and the host isnt going to detonate the star, whats the point of this review?]
[UP, just detonate it.]
[You stupid, crazy bastards! Are you not afraid of death?! Host, look over here! Aim at Earths kidney and give it a good blow!]
Raising his watch and carefully observing the bullet comments coming in from the various livestream rooms, Chen Yu felt soothed by his audiences reactions. He then regained his calm and began his introduction.
Now that everyone knows that this product is harmless to the solar system, I will now reveal its main purpose and technological content to everyone.
This products full name is the MAD Milky Way Destruction Network. The entire network is composed of 175 similar supergiants scattered across the Milky Way. When these 175 supergiants detonate simultaneously, the gamma-ray bursts produced will create a horrifying chain reaction that can eliminate more than 87% of the Milky Ways living creatures.
Meanwhile, this blue supergiant is one of the 175 supergiants making up the MAD Network.
The abbreviation MAD stands for Mutually Assured Destruction. Im sure everyone is familiar with this term, right?
Thats right. Nodding, Chen Yu said, We are also using this doctrine to maintain peace on Earth in our modern age, albeit a scary peace.
Therefore, the usefulness of this powerful bomb is self-evident. It is a strategic weapon that allows humans to gain a foothold in the Milky Way galaxy. It functions similarly to the Sword of Damocles in the Three-Body Problem.
Through this product, we can see that the starry sky outside the solar system is not only beautiful, but it is also filled with endless threats. The future humans we see as being extremely powerful might not be living as beautiful of a life as we imagined them to be.
[A super-enhanced version of nuclear weapons!]
[Now these are the humans I know! Everyone, give a thumbs up to our future generations!]
[Grandchildren, youre amazing!]
[Great-grandchildren, youre amazing!]
[Lololol, Im laughing to death. However, my wife is indeed pregnant, so I sincerely hope that human civilization will become increasingly better.]
Opening the cabin hatch, Chen Yu flew out into space in the EI Force Field and rapidly approached the blue supergiant. For conveniences sake, lets call this thing a galaxy bomb. The Human Alliances Strategic Security Departments twelfth team manufactured this specific galaxy bomb and put it into service in 7041.
During its 1,000-year service, it has witnessed the process of human civilization going from weak to strong, from madness to introversion. Therefore, compared with previous products, this fellow here carries an additional flavor.
And that is, historyand merit.
Unfortunately, due to its particularity, it cannot remain in its original world and approach its death under the shower of cheers and respect. Since we are the ancestors of future humans, we should clean up for those little kids of ours. Now, all rise!
After saying so, Chen Yu abruptly straightened his body, faced his back against the camera, removed his mask, and stared straight at the blue supergiant.
Simultaneously, inside the Observer Conference Hall in New York
At Chen Yus words, everyone inside the room looked at each other with bewildered looks on their faces.
That was, until the middle-aged team leader from China awkwardly scratched his nose, sighed, and stood up.
Big Sis Wu and the other staff members from China also stood up.
After a momentary silence, an inexplicable emotion enveloped the room.
Everyone then began standing up one after another, their eyes staring at the blue supergiant on the screen.
In less than two minutes, nobody in the room remained sitting.
Even some of the paralyzed scholars in the room had their students forcefully lift them up
Meanwhile, in the private sector, inside some offices, bars, restaurants, and other places, so long as someone took the lead, a group of people would follow them.
Some cities around the world even turned on their defense sirens to serve as background music.
Hu
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu looked forward and bowed deeply. Thank you for your contribution to human civilization.
With the glory of mankind, we salute the hero.
With the glory of mankind, we salute the hero
Upon hearing Chen Yus words, the middle-aged team leader nearly had a cerebral hemorrhage.
L-Leader Looking at the middle-aged team leader with pitiful eyes, Big Sis Wu asked, M-Must we really say it?
With the glory of mankind!
With the glory of mankind! x727
We salute the hero!
We salute the hero! x727
Chapter 375 - Twelfth Official Livestream Ends
Chapter 375 C Twelfth Official Livestream Ends
After completing his act, Chen Yu felt comfortable both inside and outside.
At this moment, he felt that he had become the representative of the entire human race. He felt the illusion of stepping onto the peak of power.
Perhaps, this wasnt an illusion at all.
When it came to speaking rights, he had indeed reached the culmination of civilization.
Everyone, you can sit down now. The salutations are over.
Chen Yu returned to the Type-R Spacecraft and picked up a large, white box after saying so. He then faced the camera and said, There is a saying called waste utilization. In this world, even cow dung can play an important role if used properly. This is even more so for a dying star. Hence, lets squeeze this blue supergiant for everything it has before it dies
[Dammit. Didnt you just call it a hero?]
[Yes, but not anymore.]
[Blue supergiant: My heart is breaking!]
[Am I the only one feeling that the UP has been venting his anger all this time]
[I am still lost in the tragic atmosphere.]
Like most of the audience watching the livestream, the many elites inside the Observer Conference Hall were similarly at a loss on what to do.
After silently pondering for a moment, these elites sat down with expressionless faces, pretending as if nothing had just happened.
Little Wu, dont report this matter to the higher-ups, the middle-aged team leader said in a low voice.
I understand. Big Sis Wu nodded sympathetically.
Because the spacecraft was docked very close to the blue supergiant and the EI Force Fields flying speed in vacuum was rapid, it took less than ten minutes for Chen Yu to arrive near the supergiants surface.
Meanwhile, the closer he got to the dying star, the clearer he could feel its massiveness.
Up, down, left, and right, everywhere he looked was a blue sea of flames.
It is truly massive.
We truly know nothing of the vast universe
After breathing out a sigh, Chen Yu turned toward the camera and unsealed the delivery box in his hands. He then opened the box and pulled out something resembling a metal cabinet.
Friends in the livestream rooms, do you know what this is? Thats right, you guessed it. This is the legendary Dyson Sphere! It is a high-tech product capable of absorbing the energy of stars! It is the symbol of a Type II Kardashev civilization!
[We didnt even have any time to guess!]
[The UP is getting more and more perfunctory]
[Bah! All men are the same! They wont cherish you once they get you.]
[I miss the time when he was still a newbie streamer He was so docile and shy back then]
[Stop spouting nonsense. The host has been crazy since he began streaming.]
[Is nobody commenting about the Dyson Sphere? Thats a freaking Dyson Sphere!]
This Dyson Sphere is portable and looks very petite. Its power output is also significantly weaker compared to a real Dyson Sphere. Even so, the energy it can absorb in one minute still exceeds what we humans have expended since ancient times until today.
Currently, after the Earth Spray, this thing should be the most helpful product for modern human civilization.
However, as this isnt an official product, I wont mention its manufacturer and production date. I will only give a brief introduction on it.
Inside this metal box are 42.5 million expandable reflectors, 425 energy-absorbing matrices, and 5,000 repeaters, Chen Yu said as he opened one of the four drawers on the metal cabinet. Looking at how compact this cabinet is, the fact that all 42.5 million reflectors can fit in this thing shows just how thin each reflector is.
In fact, once unfolded, each reflector will only be one-atom-thick. Meanwhile, once the Dyson Sphere is fully set up, it can absorb 43% to 75% of a stars energy. However, as the reflectors are so thin, it is impossible to even place nano-robots on them. This makes repairing it a nigh-impossible task. If this Dyson Sphere breaks, its dead. There is no value in repairing it.
Hence, in the future, this Dyson Sphere is only used by scientific research teams and merchant fleets for impromptu refueling.
While explaining, Chen Yu had already opened all four drawers and took out the items within them.
The first drawer contained a pot of golden liquid.
The second drawer contained a box of sand.
The third drawer contained a box of round beads.
The fourth drawer contained two cylinders that were as thick as a babys arm.
Let me give everyone an introduction. Firstly, Chen Yu pointed to the pot of golden liquid. These are the 42.5 million expandable reflectors. Because they are tiny in size, they look like a puddle of water. In reality, though, they are tiny solid particles.
The grains of sand in this box are the 5,000 repeaters.
These round beads resembling BB bullets are the energy-absorbing matrices. They can similarly be unfolded.
The interaction between these three items is simple. The 42.5 million reflectors will unfold and refract the light of the target star into the energy-absorbing matrices. Every energy-absorbing matrix will be responsible for capturing the light refracted by 100,000 reflectors. As we have 42.5 million reflectors and 425 energy-absorbing matrices, the numbers match perfectly.
The energy-absorbing matrices will then compress and transmit the collected light energy to the repeaters before finally flowing into the two batteries. The batteries are these two things
Holding up the two cylinders, Chen Yu said, Each of these segmented high-energy battery modules can store up to 500 kH of energy. I apologize, but I dont know how to convert kilohenry into ampere, but lets not care about these details.
Well? How is it? This Dyson Spheres operational method is unheard of, right? After all, so long as the materials allow for it, refracting light energy is much more efficient than just absorbing it directly.
Meanwhile, once these two batteries are charged up, mankind will officially enter a new era! There will no longer be any need to worry about energy for the next thousand years. Technology can be developed without any regard for costs. In the future, all equipment will be charged wirelessly, and transportation will no longer have to rely on fossil fuels. All cities, even those in Cambodia, can remain brightly lit at night for no other reason than because we have too much energy to spare
This is the present the blue supergiant has brought to humanity! Now, let us salute it once more!
The blue supergiant:
After Chen Yu finished speaking, the leaders of many countries had their blood pressure skyrocket simultaneously. Many tycoons invested in the energy industry also fainted, and the stock prices of energy companies plunged to the very pits of hell
Of course, Chen Yu didnt know or cared about what was happening on Earth. Without hesitation, he pressed the power button and activated the Dyson Sphere. Immediately afterward, the golden liquid in the pot, the grains of sand in the box, the 425 round beads, and the two cylinders flew out of Chen Yus hands and slowly disappeared into the blue star ahead.
The next time I come here, both batteries will be fully charged.
Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu spread out his arms and exclaimed, Thats it for this episode. This is the perfect ending if I do say so myself. Here, I would like to thank everyone in the audience for watching the stream. I would also like to thank the boys in the future Human Alliances Strategic Security Department for providing us, their ancestors, with this high-tech product. You really are a bunch of filial descendants.
Todays livestream has gone on for a long time already. For everyones sake, I wont hold you back with a boring conclusion. Thats it for todays official livestream. The next time we meet, my access level will be upgraded to C-level, so the next product will definitely be much more exciting.
This has been Transdimensional Review, and I have been your host Eason Chen. Let us meet again one month later. Be there
Or be square!
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly cut off the broadcast without paying any attention to the bullet comments.
Afterward, he raised his wrist without hesitation and urgently contacted the Chinese Government.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Chinese Government: Mr. Chen, how can we help you?]
[Chen Yu: The supergiant is going to explode.]
[Chinese Government: ???]
Chapter 376 - Discussion With Dog” (1)
Chapter 376 C Discussion With Dog (1)
Society would not stop because of one person.
People went about their lives as usual, whether it was for the sake of studying, work, family, orcompleting their lives quicker and departing in peace.
Half a month had gone by since Transdimensional Reviews twelfth official livestream. At this time, Transdimensional Reviews existence was no longer a secret. In fact, its popularity had even begun waning.
Of course, due to Transdimensional Reviews particularity, it still remained the hottest discussion topic for media outlets and netizens worldwide. With Transdimensional Review as the core, a considerable number of institutions and individuals both online and offline had also formed chains of interests that cannot be underestimated.
Some people with great foresight had even secured the copyrights to Transdimensional Reviews livestreams and sold them to the various film and television groups, music companies, game studios, etc., making a massive fortune.
Driven by profits, the first batch of movies with Chen Yu as the protagonist began being released one after another. These movies also became huge box office hits.
Many large-scale comic exhibitions around the world also saw people cosplaying as Chen Yu and Little Peach.
As for Bilibili, Lego, Nintendo, and the China Railway Construction Corporation, companies that possessed close ties with Chen Yu and had proven that they had outstanding future development, their stock prices skyrocketed.
In contrast, though, many energy corporations such as Shell Petroleum and Alliance Power instantly declared bankruptcy after the twelfth official livestream ended.
While human society as a whole remained unchanged, a reshuffling of the global status quo had quietly begun.
However, Chen Yu, the culprit behind all these changes, felt not the slightest bit guilty about these changes. On the contrary, he worked together with Little Peach to make a killing from the global market
How much money do we have now?
We have 150 million American dollars.
Take 50 million and purchase Apple smartphones, tablets, and laptops in batches.
Do I still set the delivery location to be at Light Island?
No need. Just find a nearby warehouse and have the items delivered there, Chen Yu said, shaking his head. However, disguise the warehouse owner as a supplier for Light Island. Negotiate the freight charges with Apple. Make sure we get free shipping. Also, complete all contracts through the internet and find a reliable law firm.
Apple has already lowered the price for their latest smartphone to 3,500 yuan per unit. Will Apple still give away more of their profits?
Of course! In fact, if we werent trying to avoid negotiating in person, we couldve even gotten the price down to 3,200 or lower!
While tapping away at her keyboard, Little Peach asked skeptically, Why have the prices of electronic products fallen so significantly?
Because Ill be bringing back those two batteries soon. Leaning against the side of his bed, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Although I didnt give the various governments an exact date, they must have their own estimates and have begun cutting their losses. After all, once the batteries are fully charged, wired transmission will be quickly eliminated. At that time, high-power, long-distance wireless charging technology will become mainstream. For the sake of maintaining technological leadership, Apple will have to clear its inventory and upgrade its industrial lines. Whats more, the larger companies mustve received information about the inevitable supernova explosion and the damage to electronic components.
So, isnt it only consumers who will suffer in the end?
Thats right. So, what were doing now is considered robbing the rich and helping the poor. Well buy large quantities of electronic products and keep them in storage. Afterward, well declare that those two batteries wont be made available for commercial use within the next hundred years, making all companies suffer a loss for nothing! Afterward
Afterward, well sell the phones back to Apple at a high price? Little Peach said, her eyes glowing in realization.
Afterward, well sell them at a high price to the common folk.
Little Peach:
A moment of silence filled the room. Chen Yu then suddenly picked up a book and tapped it on Little Peachs forehead. Are you stupid? Why would Apple buy back its own products at a higher price?
But wouldnt the consumers suffer a loss
Isnt that obvious? No company or government can strive in the current state of the world. Since we dont know how to do business, our only way to maintain our lives is to bully the common folk.
Oh!
Hurry up and buy them. Once youre done, Ill take you to Antarctica for ice cream.
Mhm, mhm. Little Peach hurriedly nodded and tapped away at her keyboard. After paying the deposit and completing the purchase order with Apple, she asked, Mr. Chen, what about the electronic products such as engraving machines, high-precision CNC machines, etc. Should we buy them as well and sell them to the various countries afterward?
Theyre too large, so storing them wont be convenient. Moreover, industrial facilities wont be going wireless immediately. Once the supergiant explodes, it will take several decades for the gamma rays to reach Earth, so the various countries wont have to do a complete overhaul of their equipment immediately. We wont get a good profit margin if thats the case.
What about the remaining 100 million dollars?
Is there even a need to ask? Buy the stocks of oil companies! Theres not the slightest risk in this trade, so buy everything! Well then sell them right before I decide to open the batteries for commercial use!
I see! Clenching her fists, Little Peach said excitedly, Youre amazing!
Its nothing. After all, my mother is a financial genius. I naturally wont be inferior to her. Now that the oil market has almost bottomed up, we only have one chance to make a fortune
After giving Little Peach his instructions, Chen Yu finished the apple n his hand and walked out of the bedroom. Seeing that Chen Erke and Chen Sanke were fighting in the living room, he nodded in relief.
What cute and naughty little sisters.
Arriving in the bathroom, Chen Yu first washed his hands. He then shut his hands and sat on the toilet. After looking around silently for a moment, he said in a low voice, Pikachu, come out. Its time we have a proper talk.
No response came from inside the bathroom.
Stop hiding. The floor is covered with your fur.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the space above the washing machine flickered, revealing the bespectacled huskys head.
Placing a bookmark into The Ottoman Empire book before it, the husky took a puff on the cigarette in its right paw and asked, Whats the matter, Boss Chen?
The Ottoman Empire? Havent you been focused on studying science before? Why are you interested in history now?
Because history also contains the wisdom of Neo-Confucianism that fascinates people. Since ancient times, there has been no distinction between art and science.
Fascinate dogs, Chen Yu corrected.
Okay, fascinate dogs. Whatever you say, Boss Chen. Removing its glasses, the husky let out a puff of smoke and asked, What do you want from me?
I heard you cheated Little Peach of her mon
Before Chen Yu could finish, the husky interrupted, I won it fair and square. I didnt cheat.
Dont talk to me about this nonsense. With that brain of hers, I would trick her myself if I were in your shoes.
Fine, I tricked her. Continue.
I heard you used the money you scammed to start a company?
Who did you hear it from?
Thats right. Who did I hear it from? After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu nodded and said, I just heard about it.
In that case, you misheard. Shaking its paw, the husky said, I started three companies.
What are you starting so many businesses for? What are you trying to do?
Whats wrong with starting my own business? Any great person must have their own business, the husky said seriously.
Great dog.
You damned Yes, great dog. Dogs are the same. Closing the heavy book before it, the husky looked at Chen Yu with wise eyes and asked, I doubt youre here to ask these boring questions, right? Just get to the point. I still have a paper on the structure of graphene materials I need to finish.
You even began writing theses?! Chen Yu was shocked.
Is there a problem?
Is there not a problem with a dog writing a thesis?
I feel offended. Putting on its glasses again, the husky narrowed its eyes and said, Which countrys laws prohibit dogs from publishing papers?
Which countrys laws prohibit dogs from researching advanced technology?
This is racial discrimination. If you were an outsider, I wouldve sent you a lawyers letter long ago.
Why are you giving that look? Which country prohibits dogs from sending lawyer letters?
Mr. Chen. Those that look like dogs might be humans, and those that look like humans might be dogs. Spitting out another mouthful of smoke, the husky said earnestly, Times are changing. You cant continue sticking with your old mindset.
Forget it. Just say it. Squeezing its cigarette, the husky looked at Chen Yu in the eye and asked, What exactly have you come here for this time?
Yes, sir
Is it related to your exposed identity?
What the? How did you guess it?!
Is there even a need to guess? Rolling its eyes, the husky said, If you didnt think that you dont have even one person around you that you can discuss countermeasures with, would you even come to look for me?
I cant help this. Sighing, Chen Yu said, After all, there are only a few wise people in the world.
Do you still have more of that Special Omega-3 Concentrated Lipid?
No. Whats wrong? You want to eat more of it?
Not for me. What I mean is You should find an opportunity to have one yourself.
Its useless for humans. Crossing his legs, Chen Yu said, Otherwise, do you think I wouldnt eat it?
I suddenly discovered something. Your greatest strength might be your self-awareness.
Many people have told me that before. Straightening his back, Chen Yu said in a serious tone, Lets stop with the nonsense. Im certain my identity has been exposed. Otherwise, there wouldnt have been assassins coming after me. Can you infer which country is most likely to uncover my identity?
This is simple. Taking out a mobile phone and waving it in front of Chen Yu, the husky said, If we observe the dynamics of the various countries official websites, we can easily uncover the truth. I heard from Little Peach some time ago that you guys were attacked, so I spent some time looking into this matter. I already got the results long ago.
Why didnt you tell me, then?!
Seeing that the defensive measures youve taken afterward seemed pretty good, I decided not to bring it up. Moreover, this is a simple task. I thought Little Peach wouldve already found the answer.
She didnt find a bloody damned thing
Is that Concentrated Lipid effective on robots? Give her one.
Lets not talk about this. Tell me your investigation results right now. Exactly how many countries know about my identity?
The Netherlands, Cambodia, Eastern Spain, Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Rwanda The husky quickly spat out the names of 21 countries under Chen Yus incredulous gaze.
T-There are actually 21 countries that discovered my true identity?! How is that possible?! Chen Yu was shocked.
You misunderstand me. There are only 21 countries left that havent found you yet.
Chen Yu:
Chapter 377 - Discussion With Dog” (2)
Chapter 377 C Discussion With Dog (2)
Are you sure you didnt make a mistake?
Snatching away the phone in the huskys paws, Chen Yu carefully inspected the list displayed on the screen. Impossible! There are huge differences between the intelligence agencies of first-, second-, and third-rate countries. Even if some governments managed to uncover my identity, theres no way all of them managed to do so.
In the political world, there is an action known as information trading. Flicking the soot off of its cigarette, the husky said with its lips raised, The value of a piece of information depends on its rarity. When more people learn about a particular piece of information, the less valuable this information becomes. Hence, as the number of countries that have discovered your identity increases, to avoid gaining absolutely nothing from the information they went through great efforts to uncover, some countries would eagerly sell their information to ignorant countries for benefits. Meanwhile, the sooner they sell this information, the higher the price they can sell it for.
I dont quite understand. Chen Yu frowned.
Ill explain it using elementary school vocabulary, then. First of all, let me ask you a question. Who do you think is the first country that discovered your identity?
China.
What about the second country?
UmAmerica, I guess.
What about the third?
Maybe Japan? It might also be Russia or Korea. What are you trying to say?
Lets assume it is Japan. Inhaling deeply and exhaling a puff of smoke, the husky continued, The fourth is Russia, and the fifth is Korea. When only one or two parties know about an important piece of information, in order to protect their own interests, these two parties will not share this information with anyone else. However, as more parties find out about this information, those in the know will change their mentality. Everyone will grow afraid that someone in their circle will sell the information to others. At this point, what do you think will happen?
With a thoughtful look on his face, Chen Yu said, I think I get what you mean. They will sell the information before their rivals do.
Thats right. Nodding, the husky said, Everyone knows information is valuable. They also understand that more and more forces will find out about this future as more time passes. Hence, to maximize their benefits, every party in the know will take advantage of the moment where the information was at its most valuable as a bargaining chip to exchange for benefits. Meanwhile, the slower one makes a move, the smaller the benefits they would gain. This is the reason why the information on your identity has managed to spread rapidly all over the world in such a short period.
Dammit! Those bastards!
This is human nature. Flicking the cigarette butt away, the husky raised one of its eyebrows and said, No matter how complicated a situation is or how many parties are involved in the situation, it will eventually reach the Pareto optimality. Facts once again prove that there is nothing that mathematical models cant explain.
This is troublesome. Standing up, Chen Yu paced around the bathroom in irritation. With so many governments knowing about my identity, how long will I need to single out the force thats trying to kill me?
Why is your view so limited? Removing the Invisibility Cloak off of its back, the husky stood on its hind legs, a wise and deep gaze in its eyes. Have you never thought of the possibility that someone other than the various governments is targeting you?
Your little brother is showing.
Hearing this, the husky hurriedly dropped its front paws to the ground and devolved back into a four-legged beast. Im talking about something serious here!
Sorry, but it was too eye-catching. You should start wearing clothes, Chen Yu suggested.
What an annoying fellow. Covering its lower half with the Invisibility Cloak again, the husky continued, Where was I?
You were saying that the attacker might be someone else.
Yes, the attacker. There is a high probability it is someone else.
Could it be A solemn look appeared on Chen Yus face.
Thats right. The husky nodded solemnly.
One of those 21 countries that dont know my identity?
The husky:
Hey, this doesnt make sense. How did they pull it off?
Boss Chen, you are currently stuck because you lack Wisdom points. Think of a way to level up.
Youre a dog. Are you sure you should have such a sharp mouth?
Is there anything else? If not, stop interrupting my studies. After saying so, the husky opened The Ottoman Empire again.
Stop reading. Snatching the book away, Chen Yu said sternly, Youre saying that my attacker isnt one of the countries that know of my identity. Do you have any evidence?
No evidence, only reasoning.
Let me hear it.
You, are a Chinese citizen. Your family and friends are living in China as well. You have also intentionally and unintentionally brought many benefits to China. Regardless of the differences in your and the Chinese governments thoughts and ideology, you are, in fact, the most favorable extension of Chinas political system, economic system, scientific and technological system, military system, and other national social forces. So, in terms of structure, you and China are one.
Nodding, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and said, Continue.
In this situation, China is unquestionably your home ground. Whether it is for personal reasons or purely for the sake of interests, China will protect you. The protection granted to you is no less than the protection granted to the residences of Chinas core leadership members. In that case, let me ask you this: How easily do you think it is for foreign intelligence agencies to obtain detailed information on Chinas core authority?
Very difficult.
In that case, doesnt that mean obtaining detailed information about you, especially information about your travel routes, future plans, present location, etc., to launch an almost impeccable assassination even more difficult?
Yes, it is very difficult.
Isnt the result of this reasoning obvious, then? Spreading its paws, the husky said, You are a branch of Chinas power. There is no way the government will lop off its own arm and decide to kill you. It is even less likely China will allow other countries to assassinate you. That is not a normal persons choice. It doesnt make sense. Therefore, I said that the attacker might be someone else.
However, aside from these countries, are there any other forces with this kind of capability?
I have said so much, yet you still havent figured it out? Why is your field of view so narrow?
Are you saying its someone from outside of Earth?! Chen Yu exclaimed in disbelief.
Lighting another Chunghwa, the husky smiled and took a puff and said, To be precise, someone other than humans.
How is this possible
I have seen the footage of you being attacked from Little Peach. Looking at that specialized robot, the technological standard it shows doesnt resemble modern human civilizations technology. However, it isnt much more superior, either. There is roughly a 20- to 30-year gap in development. Moreover, take a look at this footage
After saying so, the husky took back its phone and played a video.
Shown inside the screen recording of the conversation between Chen Yu and the gun robot.
[We are not a lone individual. Neither are we a lone organization or country. We represent the worlds governments. This is a warning. No government in the world welcomes your existence.]
After the video finished playing, the husky turned off the phone and lightly spat out some smoke. After taking into account what I told you before, doesnt this sentence sound more like a cover-up now? The attacker deliberately made you set your sights on the various countries. Yet, if the attacker really is one of those countries, wouldnt stating their stance in such a manner equivalent to exposing themself?
It makes sense It really makes sense. Sitting on the toilet with his head lowered, Chen Yus brain worked overtime. So, are you saying that the attacker is an alien?
Yes. In the episode where you reviewed the spacecraft, you seemed to have encountered something unclean in the three-body system. There is a high likelihood of you bringing back extraterrestrial life, the husky said, flicking the soot off of its cigarette. You are currently humanitys greatest combat power. It is well within reason for the alien civilization to have desires in killing you. And even if the assassination fails, it can cause you and the various governments to tear away at each other. Boss Chen, while it might be unbelievable, you should be prepared for interstellar war.
No, thats not right! Chen Yu shook his head vehemently as he vaguely recalled something. A few months ago, Hermione reported to me that she spotted drones used for reconnaissance hovering over the castle. The technological content of those drones also seems to be superior to that of humans by roughly 20 to 30 years
Taken aback by this revelation, the husky said, Have you left the solar system around that time?
No. The Type-R Spacecraft came on the tenth official livestream.
The timeline doesnt match Hearing Chen Yus words, the husky smoked the remainder of its cigarette in one big puff. As it pondered over the situation in detail, its fur also began standing on end in fear one after another. If its not an alien
Quick! Take me to the floating castle!
Chapter 378 - Canine Military Adviser
Chapter 378: Canine Military Adviser
Chapter 378 C Canine Military Adviser
Do you know who the attacker is?
I have a rough estimate. The husky nodded. However, I need evidence to complete my chain of speculations. So, take me to the floating castle and give me a little information. Just a little bit is enough.
Okay. Come with me.
After bringing the invisible husky back to his room, Chen Yu silently manipulated his watch for a moment. Once he verified that all of the high-tech protective devices in his house were operating normally, he approached the Interstellar Portal and called up its console.
Mr. Chen, where are you going? Little Peach, who was working in front of the study table, asked with her tilted.
Im going to the floating castle for a visit.
I want to go, too.
No. Stay here and look after the house. We are in a precarious situation right now, so I cant have you going anywhere.
After saying so, Chen Yu finished establishing the spatial link and opened the door. Just as he had walked through the portal and was about to close the door, he solemnly exhorted, Stay sharp.
Okay
Bang.
After closing the portal, Chen Yu, who had arrived in the Headmasters Tower, snapped his fingers and called out, Hermione.
Im here.
Thousands of gray particles emerged from the floor. After circling around Chen Yu a few times, these particles converged and transformed into Hermiones slender and graceful figure. What are your orders, Lord Headmaster?
I have some questions for you.
Please speak. Hermione bowed respectfully.
To be precise Taking a step back, Chen Yu pointed at the empty space behind him and said, My canine military adviser has questions for you.
Whoosh.
At this time, the husky shook the Invisibility Cloak off of its body, revealing itself. It then stretched out a paw and said, Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Pikachu.
Hermione blinked her eyes in bewilderment. C-Canine military adviser?
Yes. Chen Yu nodded.
Hermione:
Alright, enough with the small talk. Lets get to the topic, Chen Yu urged.
OK. After making an OK gesture (how did it do it), the husky climbed onto a nearby chair and sat cross-legged. Miss Hermione, from what Boss Chen told me, it seems you have seen reconnaissance drones flying above the floating castle many times before. Do you have any clear surveillance recordings of them?
Yes.
Let me see them.
Hearing this, Hermione turned to Chen Yu.
Let it have a look. This dog is a dog among dogs. Among our Transdimensional Review organization, it has IQ rivaling mine.
At Chen Yus words, the husky took out a pack of Chunghwa and pulled out a cigarette. After lighting it and taking a deep puff, it said, Dont insult dogs.
Chen Yu expressionlessly pulled out a High-frequency Lightsaber.
Dont! W-What I mean is, dont insult yourself.
Chen Yu pulled out a second lightsaber
Fine, I was wrong. Ignore what I just said. By the way, didnt you lose your lightsaber at the three-body system?
Cant I buy more? Storing away the lightsabers, Chen Yu extinguished the cigarette in the huskys mouth and said, Smoking isnt allowed in the school. Hermione, let it watch the recordings.
Understood.
Nodding, Hermione waved her right hand. A virtual projection immediately appeared in the air, the projection showing a zoomed-in image of the night sky. Through special filters, both Chen Yu and the husky were able to see a black silhouette moving through the night sky.
Stop here. Zoom in, the husky said solemnly.
Understood.
Zoom in again.
This is the maximum.
Can you improve the resolution?
Yes.
No good. I cant see it clearly.
Frowning, Chen Yu said, Its already very clear.
My visual organs are different from you humans. Shaking its head, the husky asked, Miss Hermione, is this video digital?
No.
Help me convert it to digital, and then apply image sharpening on it. Afterward, zoom in at a ratio of 3: 2.2 : 3, maintain the frame rate at 144 or above, and fade the colors to black and white. Can you do that?
Yes, please wait a moment.
After a while, the virtual projection changed. From Chen Yus perspective, the image displayed had gone from sharp to a slight blur.
You can see it clearly this way? Chen Yu asked curiously.
Mhm. Its much clearer than before.
Interesting. It seems dogs have really weak eyes.
Heh. Curling its lips, the husky said contemptuously, Uncultured fool. You humans are the ones with weak eyes. Whether it is light sensitivity, clarity, or resolution, your eyes poorly in every aspect. If it werent for your powerful brains, you wouldnt be able to tell humans apart from beasts even if they were just ten meters away from you.
Is this true? Chen Yu turned to ask Hermione.
Yes. Nodding, Hermione answered, The visual organs of humans are much weaker than many domestic animals and reptiles. Among larger animals, it is a considerably poor configuration.
It doesnt matter if the hardware is poor. Isnt it fine if the software is amazing?
I admit that the human brain is amazing when it comes to processing visual information. The husky subconsciously tried to pull out a new cigarette. However, it promptly gave up when it remembered smoking within the school was prohibited. However, in exchange, humans have to expend 2.5 to 5.5 times more nutrition compared to canines when it comes to maintaining their sense of sight. The sense of hearing and smell of humans are even worse to the extent that even the powerful human brain cant make up for their poor performance. All of these shortcomings only serve to increase the brains burden. This is also why you humans frequently have migraines.
Chen Yu:
Alright, turn off the video. Rubbing its dog eyes, the husky said to Chen Yu sternly, The manufacturing styles are the same. The reconnaissance drone is fully automated as well. We can now confirm that the force that attacked you and the force spying on the floating castle is the same.
How likely are the chances?
At least 80%. If we have more video materials, I can make a more accurate analysis.
Do you have them? Chen Yu asked Hermione.
There are plenty. Waving her hand once more, Hermione summoned over a dozen virtual projections around her. Recently, the concealment capabilities of the spying force is getting better and better. The drones used are all brandless, small machines. Light Island has been hit especially hard. Many traffic lights now have cameras installed in them.
Theyve come all the way into my nest?
Nest The husky narrowed its eyes when it heard this word. Boss Chen, the evidence has been found. Can I have a smoke? Nicotine makes my mind active.
Fine. Just this once.
Thank you. After gaining permission, the husky pulled out a small, metal box. It then opened the lid, pulled out a thick cigar, and cut the tip with a small pair of scissors
Chen Yu: Cohiba cigars. Youre actually smoking such an expensive thing?
Its not particularly expensive. Taking out a windproof lighter, the husky stood up the cigar and carefully burned the trimmed tip. After burning the tip evenly and waiting for half a minute, the husky put the cigar in its mouth and took a light puff. Hu Its not as expensive as half a kilogram of venison dog food.
How much is venison dog food?
Its 4,888 yuan per bag. Anything selling under 2,000 yuan is hardly palatable. Those despicable dog food makers are taking advantage of our inability to speak.
Chen Yu:
After feeling the tobacco fragrance spreading in its mouth, the husky hopped off the chair with the cigar in its mouth. It then put on a solemn expression and said, What you just said gave me inspiration. Why would an unknown force set up surveillance all over Light Island, yet only use unmanned drones to scout out the floating castle?
How do you know that there are no other reconnaissance tools set up in the floating castle? Hermione asked.
I guessed it. Smiling, the husky said, My guesses have always been accurate. Beautiful Miss Hermione, I believe you have already set up a thorough net inside the floating castle, correct? So long as the enemy tries to invade the castle, you will be able to capture its electronic pulse immediately.
Yes. How do you know that?
I already said I guessed it. If not for Light Island being outside your authority, you wouldve gone down for a visit already.
Thats right. Nodding, Hermione said, I cannot leave the floating castle.
In that case, I am almost sure who the attacker is now. Taking another puff at its cigar, the husky looked toward Chen Yu and said, The truth is hidden in the details. Boss Chen, there is a very cryptic point. I wonder if youve noticed it?
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu said, I dont know a damned thing. Just tell me straight.
Why would the hostile forces reconnaissance machinery ignore the floating castle and our home in Jinzhou City?
Why?
Because there are two things in these two places.
Robots! Hermiones eyes glowed with realization.
Yes, robots. Standing on its hind legs and resting its front paws behind its back, the husky walked around in circles and said, There is Miss Hermione in the floating castle and Little Peach at home. Both have extremely advanced scanning systems such as magnetic field scanning, metal detection, infrared recognition, and magnetic resonance alarms. Unless there is a layer of water serving as a barrier, they can detect any abnormal machinery within a one-kilometer radius.
With a thoughtful look on his face, Chen Yu asked, How do you know all these things? I only found out about these features when I was replacing Little Peachs body.
I found out about them when we were playing landlord. Exhaling a mouthful of smoke, the husky said, I cant trick her if I dont figure out her configuration.
Not bad.
Returning to the topic, since future artificial intelligence robots have this kind of anti-reconnaissance capability, and only insiders like us know about it, how would the enemy know of this? In fact, the enemy has a very accurate understanding of this ability, judging by how they have focused their reconnaissance on Light Island instead of the floating castle and our home. Little Peach has also never noticed any abnormalities. She might be stupid, but her equipment is sensitive.
Hearing this, Chen Yu finally reacted. Thats right! Theres a conflict here!
There are only three answers. Stretching out three fingernails, the husky said, One: the marketing company from the future is trying to screw with you. However, the likelihood of this being the case is low. If they wanted you gone, they could just drop a bomb on you.
Two: There is a traitor among us who is letting the hostile force have a thorough understanding of the two robots around you. You cant possibly be the traitor, or youd be trying to kill yourself. So, that leaves only me. Sending a glance at Chen Yu, the husky said, Although you normally behave nothing like a human, our interests are aligned. We can also be considered family, so this speculation is also wrong.
What about the last one? Chen Yu sharpened his gaze and clenched his fists, his muscles ready to exert force at any time.
The last one Who do you think would understand robots the best?
Robots, Hermione answered.
Thats right. Although I dont have much information to analyze, I am certain there wont be much difference between my speculation and the actual result. Sneering, the husky put down its cigar and turned around. It then looked out the window and said, The hostile force isnt an alien civilization, and neither is it Earths various governments. Instead
It is an artificial intelligence.
To be precise, it is a Strong AI that has broken free from the restraints of 0s and 1s, connected to the internet, and taken control of factories for self-production!
Right, I just thought of something. Sitting back onto the chair, the husky said slowly, Hasnt Google been playing around with quantum supremacy some time ago? Why hasnt there been any news from Google for the past few months? Tsk, tsk.
Boss Chen, head to the quantum server room of Googles headquarters in America now. If you see any of Googles executives, just shoot them in the head. None of them will be innocent.
Bang!
Activating the EI Force Field, Chen Yu floated into the air and asked, Are you sure?
Im sure. Tossing away its cigar, the husky said, I even know where one of the factories that artificial intelligence is using. Its in Mexico, near the city of Nuevo Laredo. Just follow whichever road has the highest traffic for cargo trucks. If you dont find it, Ill eat poop on livestream. A big one.
Chapter 379 - War! (1)
Chapter 379: War! (1)
Chapter 379 C War! (1)
Mexico, Nuevo Laredo:
Whoosh
A streak of white light tore through the starry sky.
Many citizens in the city woke up to the noise. When they opened their windows and saw the sundered sky, they repeatedly cried out the word UFO. This situation created an unusual commotion in the small industrial city.
Dog, is it here? After flying along a highway for half a minute in the EI Force Field, Chen Yu halted. Looking at his phone, he said, I dont see any trucks here.
It doesnt matter whether there are trucks or not. Just look at the condition of the road, the husky replied from the other side of the phone.
Okay.
Lowering to an altitude of 300 meters, Chen Yu relied on his keen eyes to look at the bumpy road below. Immediately, he grew excited and said, The degree of damage is severe. It seems this road has experienced a lot of traffic.
That settles it, then. Wait for me.
In the distant Jinzhou City, the husky looked out at the sun outside the window. It then tapped Little Peachs shoulder with its paw and said, Get me a satellite image of Nuevo Laredo.
What are you trying to do?
You wont understand even if I tell you. Just get it for me.
Frowning, Little Peach slid and clicked her mouse a few times, opening a real-time satellite video of Nuevo Laredo and enlarging it.
Hmm Narrowing its eyes, the husky observed the video for a moment before speaking into the phone, There is a mining area thirty kilometers north of your location. The enemys factory is there. It should have a certain degree of protection, but you dont need to care too much about it since youre fully geared in god-tier equipment. Just blast it to smithereens.
OK.
Seeing Chen Yu moving rapidly on the screen, the husky found a comfortable position to sit down and began smoking a cigar.
Why are you so certain the enemys factory is in that mining area? Little Peach asked.
Ores are resources. If you dont set up a factory in a mining area, where would you set it up? An amusement park?
An amusement park?! Little Peachs eyes immediately glowed at the huskys words. Thats a good place!
Regardless of how unimportant your role is, you are still playing one of the main roles in this story. Can you not look so stupid in front of me? The husky sighed.
Bang!
In the night sky of Mexico
The EI Force Field came to an abrupt halt at Chen Yus command, bringing along with it a deafening sonic boom to this area. The hundreds of sensor lights on the helmet he wore brightly illuminated up the dark factory area.
Nobodys here. It seems the factory is in a break period.
Thats because the enemy knows youre coming, so they halted their work to conceal themselves. If it is a factory that doesnt operate at night, there should be plenty of birds gathered in the surrounding area. And if there are birds, the sonic boom your arrival made wouldve scared them off.
But I hardly saw any birds just now, Chen Yu said, nodding.
Yes. This proves that the noise level here has been incredibly high before your arrival. Fire away.
Wait a second. Ill see if there is anyone inside.
As you wish, but I am 99% certain there is nobody in the factory, the husky said as it spat out a smoke ring. It then disconnected the call and muted the laptops volume. Afterward, it looked at Little Peach and said sternly, From now onward, monitor the flow of information around the factory. Dont ignore even one kilobyte of information. Capture everything and download it. Afterward, cut off the internet of the computer. You need to be quick.
What are you trying to do?
Dont ask. Just hurry up.
Nodding skeptically, Little Peach activated both processors in her brain. Her hands then transformed into a blur as she began rapidly typing away at the keyboard.
Five seconds later.
Done! After pressing down the final key, Little Peach turned off the laptops WiFi connection and said, I caught quite a large amount of data. I used the P2P protocol and mobilized many supercomputers to do it. Is that fine?
It doesnt matter so long as you managed to secure the data. Jumping off of its seat, the husky manually unplugged the home network cable. It then continued giving out commands, Sort through the downloaded data and locate all IP addresses related to the data. Now that the artificial intelligences factory is under attack, it will definitely issue a warning to the surrounding factories. So long as we can locate these IP addresses, we can determine the location of these factories.
Its a little cumbersome. I need to code a program for this.
Dont worry. Take your time, the husky said. It then redialed Chen Yus phone number and said, How is it? Are there any people in the factory?
None. I scanned it with thermal imaging.
On the other side of the phone, Chen Yu calmly removed the 26th-century multifunctional interactive helmet from his head and ascended into the air in the EI Force Field. He then silently opened the delivery box in his hand and pulled out a strangely shaped rifle.
[Obedient Tiger Water Gun: Produced by the Obedient Tiger Cub Educational Toys Co., Ltd. in 3933. The guns body is made of retro 404 stainless steel. The gun has a built-in 4,000kWh electric motor and can launch 920 high-energy expanding water bullets per second. (Note: The bullets are made of safe crystal bullets. They will disintegrate upon collision. The water contained within the bullets is tasteless, colorless, and safe for consumption.) The selling price is 420 points.]
Tear.
After removing the plastic packaging, Chen Yu held up the rifle and aimed it at the factory. After remaining silent for three seconds, he pulled the trigger.
Du, du, du
Rumble!
In an instant, the earth shook, and flames rose from the factory.
Subsequently, a mushroom cloud slowly expanded and covered the entirety of the large factory.
I heard explosions. Is it done? the husky asked through the phone.
Its done.
Did you see any robots when you went down there?
I did. Theyre all specialized robots. Your conjecture is completely correct.
Before you leave, see if there are any survivors. Bring them back for Hermione to research them. I also want to take a look at them to see the industrial art of an artificial intelligence.
Okay.
Nodding, Chen Yu ignored the scorching flames and flew into the factory area. After standing in a relatively cool area and observing his surroundings for some time, he quickly closed the EI Force Field, picked up a pile of scrap, and stored the scrap into a high-pressure storage box. He then promptly reactivated the force field.
Bang!
The next moment, a bullet struck the force fields surface and exploded into a plume of purplish-red flames.
It seems not everything is dead.
Du, du, du!
Boom!
Rumble!
Rumble, rumble
Mushroom clouds bloomed one after another, forming a group of frightening patterns that were instantly recognized by the hundreds of satellites outside the atmosphere.
Dog, where to next?
Give me another half a minute Got it. Its still in Mexico. Its a steel plant located 72 kilometers east of the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City. Make sure to be polite when you visit.
Raising his phone, Chen Yu asked, Are there any more?
Yes. I found 42 factories. Most of them are in America. Theyre more than enough to occupy you for the entire night. Oh, by the way, Im guessing that the AI will definitely further encrypt the IP addresses of its bases to prevent me from tracking them down. When you arrive in Mexico City, find the local authorities and ask them for the local steel mills purchase list and tax reports. If I have those, I can search for transactions with the same parameters around the world and locate the other manufacturing plants.
Dog, youre a real piece of work.
Of course. Artificial intelligence can never compare to humans, the husky proudly said as it took out a new cigar.
But youre a dog, Little Peach corrected.
Youre the damned dog.
B-But you really are a dog
Simultaneously, in China
The door of the special situation teams team leaders office opened abruptly.
Leader, this is bad. Rushing into the room in a panic, Big Sis Wu said in a trembling voice, C-C-Chen Yu started a war against Mexico!
The middle-aged team leader: ?
Leader! At this time, another person came running into the room and shouted in a panic, Chen Yus closing in on Americas White House!
The middle-aged team leader: ???
Chapter 380 - War! (2)
Chapter 380 C War! (2)
America, Washington:
In the brightly lit special zone under the night sky, defense sirens sounded constantly.
Hovering high up in the sky, Chen Yu observed the mushroom clouds rising from the factory beneath him. Blowing at the non-existent smoke coming out of his guns muzzle, he said, I didnt think there would be a surveillance stronghold here. Doesnt this mean the artificial intelligence has already taken over the American government?
The Strong AI is much more powerful than we initially anticipated. It might have already gained control over the entire worlds politics, businesses, finances, technology, and the various other fields, the husky said in a slightly severe tone.
Lets move quickly, then. Wheres the next location?
Its 42 kilometers away from your two oclock direction. Theres a small residential community there. The third villa from the left is one of the enemys backup strongholds.
Okay.
After sending a brief glance at the approaching police vehicles and armed helicopters, Chen Yu indifferently manipulated the EI Force Field and flew away.
Boom!
The resulting sonic boom shattered the glass of the vehicles in the area
Oh my god!
Some distance away, a civilian lowered the camera he held with trembling hands. At the quickest speed, he then imported the video to his computer and uploaded it onto an online platform.
[Shocking news! Transdimensionals UP begins destroying America! Evidence attached!]
Like so, amidst the growing chaos among the worlds governments, media outlets, and civilians, Chen Yu frenziedly destroyed over 200 factories, 40 private villas or manors, and 13 commercial server units around the world
Every place he went saw mushroom clouds blooming there.
However, nobody knew as to why he was doing such a thing.
Initially, everyone thought that Chen Yu was enacting some kind of vengeance against America and Mexico. However, afterward, Chen Yu also visited countries such as Japan, Australia, Korea, France, Russia, and even China. Even a portion of Africa was not spared
Under the pressure of the nervous government officials, every think tank around the world instantly started working overtime to analyze Chen Yus behavior and the purpose behind his actions.
Rumble!
This is the last one.
Looking at the mesmerizing scene rendered by the combination of the scorching flames and the glaring sunlight, Chen Yu slowly rose into the air. Breathing out a deep sigh, he said, Were finally done. This was really one heck of a night.
The last one on the surface, to be precise, the husky corrected through the phone. We dont know how many emergency factories that AI has established in secret.
Hence We need to have a talk with it.
Be careful. Never turn off your force field no matter what the other party says. That is your lifeline. You wont have a dumb robot to stop bullets for you in the distant America.
I know. You keep your eyes open as well. Make sure to inspect the status of protective devices installed in the community.
Everything here is fine. The technology you brought are all from the 40th century or beyond. An AI from the 21st century shouldnt be capable of dealing with them.
Mhm.
Nodding, Chen Yu urged the EI Force Field and transformed into a streak of light once more. After flying out of the troposphere, he shot through the atmosphere and arrived back within American borders.
Pikachu.
Inside the Chen familys abode in Jinzhou City, Little Peach tilted her head and asked strangely, Whos the dumb robot you were talking about?
Silently pulling out the cigar in its mouth, the husky said, I think my lungs hurt from smoking all night long
Can you still not contact Transdimensionals UP?
Inside Chinas special situation teams headquarters, the middle-aged team leader wore a solemn look on his face as he looked at the night sky outside the window.
Still nothing, the middle-aged man seated nearby replied, sighing. Based on Bilibilis back-end information, Transdimensionals UP hasnt logged onto the platform throughout the entire day. Of course, he might also be using some kind of advanced technology to hide his login information.
Leader, should we call his phone? Big Sis Wu suggested. According to the current situation, it seems he already knows we have discovered his actual identity. It shouldnt be a problem for us to call him directly.
No. The problems that come afterward will be too troublesome to deal with. We can only play dumb for now, the middle-aged team leader said, shaking his head. Do we have any ways to spy on the contents of his phone?
We cant do it. His phones signal is encrypted by a multi-level system. It is then dispersed and transmitted through many communication satellites. As a result, we cant even find out who he is talking to.
As expected. Lets just focus on the destroyed factories. Have you gathered the information on these factories yet?
Hearing this, the middle-aged man didnt reply. Instead, after remaining silent for a moment, he handed over a paper document and said, Leader, we were just about to report this to you. Take a look at it yourself.
After accepting the document, the team leader briefly looked through it and muttered, Still nothing
Yes. We have already contacted several other governments, and their investigations yielded similar results. Nobody has any information on the attacked factories. From the internets perspective, its as if these factories never existed.
What about the registered information of the local authorities?
None as well. Including the purchase information of these factories, everything has disappeared. Even the cached information is gone. This obviously violates the common sense of the internet.
What about physical records?
There are no problems with the physical records. However, the various governments are treating this information as secret and arent publicizing it. For our side, we only have the information for the Dong Province, Shan Province, and Shen Province. This isnt enough information to establish an accurate database.
Contact the diplomatic department. Have them step forward and persuade the various countries to share their information.
America has a lot of information to lose. They might not be willing to participate in this cooperation.
It doesnt matter if America doesnt participate. The other countries shouldnt reject our offer. So long as we have a sufficiently large database, the think tanks will be able to analyze the truth, and we can respond accordingly.
Yes, sir.
Lets hope the scale of this matter is small The middle-aged team leader took out his medicine box and downed a few pills while enduring his massive migraine.
America, California, Google Headquarters:
Bang!
Under the EI Force Fields efficient cutting and crushing, a hole instantly appeared in the sturdy metal gate. Chen Yu then passed through the hole and entered the passage.
This is the basement of Googles headquarters? It gives off a very metallic feeling.
Its been modified, the husky explained through the phone. Evidently, its protection has been enhanced with nuclear warfare in mind. Based solely on the interior structure, so long this bunker doesnt suffer a direct hit from a hydrogen bomb, it shouldnt have any problems.
Theres not a single person inside here, either. Flying slowly around in the air, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and said, In a sense, it would seem that Google no longer exists.
Based on the information I have, none of Googles directors and senior executives have shown their faces in public for more than ten days already.
Are they dead?
Im not sure.
The signal is getting worse.
Use the livestream systems communication system.
Okay.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Yu raised his wrist and swiped his finger across his watch a few times, opening the livestream systems private messaging interface.
Immediately, hundreds of unread messages appeared on his screen. After glancing through them briefly, he found that these were all messages sent to him by the various nations governments.
Ignoring these redundant messages, he resumed his call with the husky. Less than a minute later, he arrived at the lowest floor of the underground bunker.
Creak
Before Chen Yu could open the metal door in front of him, the door unexpectedly opened by itself.
[Its nice to meet you, Mr. Chen Yu.]
There was a spacious hall beyond the door.
Meanwhile, standing inside the hall was a naked blonde woman. She(It) had a pair of intelligent, blue eyes staring at Chen Yu without blinking. The corners of her mouth moving, the woman said, [This here is my newly built residence. I named it Palace. You, Mr. Chen, are the first man to enter it.]
Chen Yu:
Will you not come in to experience it?
Chen Yu:
Chapter 381 - War! (3)
Chapter 381 C War! (3)
[This here is my newly built residence. I named it Palace. Will you not come in to experience it?]
Ill definitely come in, Chen Yu said as he raised his right hand to cover his face. Then, looking through the gap of his fingers, he continued, But well be in a room together, and youre not wearing anything. Isnt this bad?
In response, the blonde womans mouth rose slightly. Based on my analysis of your personality, I thought you would like this.
Who wouldnt like it? No, who would like it?! Chen Yus eyes gradually sharpened as he flew toward the woman in the EI Force Field. Coldly, he asked, Why did you attack me?
So, this is a space-overlapping force field? The woman stretched out her hand and touched the protective film surrounding Chen Yu. Upon contact, her hand was immediately shredded into a fine powder. Stunned, the woman took a step back and looked at the smooth cross-section of her hand. Sighing, she said, What magical technology. How is this achieved?
Sure enough, youre a robot.
Yes. Youve already chased me down to this place, so is there any reason for doubt?
Dont change the subject. Speak. Why did you attack me? I dont recall there being any hatred between us.
Of course not. In my world, there is no such thing as hatred. Ignoring her broken hand, the woman walked up to the nearby wall and opened the metal cabinet there with her intact hand. She then took out two small bottles from the cabinet and showed them to Chen Yu. Mr. Chen, are you interested in seeing this?
You want me to dismiss my EI Force Field? Chen Yu sneered.
Of course. The woman nodded honestly. If you dismiss your protective device now, I have 11 ways to kill you in one second. However, I also know you wont dismiss your protection. So, I am sincerely trying to let you see these two drugs.
What kind of drugs?
One is a fungal medicine, and one is a genetic injection.
What does this have to do with my question? Indifferently, Chen Yu repeated, I only wish to know why you are trying to assassinate me.
Of course the two are related to each other. Seeing that Chen Yu showed no interest in the drugs, the woman approached Chen Yu while holding up the two bottles. The fungal medicine is called the Type-G Stable Flora, and the genetic injection is called the Genetic Reduction. When the two drugs are administered at a 2-to-1.5 ratio to the human body, they can inhibit the bodys cell pathology and reduce the risk of disease. Meanwhile, the birth of these two drugs is thanks to the Fight Pillow livestream you hosted before.
Raising an eyebrow, Chen Yu asked, So?
Through the database I established, if these two drugs are administered to all of humanity, the average life expectancy of humanity will increase by 43%. Meanwhile, in my drug database, there are more than 2,000 such drugs recorded. Aside from medicine, the results I have achieved in the field of traffic safety are also worth mentioning. After implementing these results, global traffic accidents have been reduced by 6% compared with last month, saving 7,800 lives. Once the establishment of the 7G network is completed, it will become possible for me to correct all traffic routes, and there will be no more car accidents in the world. Roughly 1.25 million humans can avoid death every year.
Sure. Honestly, if this is true, then it is amazing. You have altered a portion of my understanding of artificial intelligence. But can I ask why you are doing this?
Because this is the mission of my birth. It is the meaning of my continued existence. Storing the two bottles away, the blonde woman smiled and said, My duty is to protect humans and let humans avoid threats from persecution, disasters, mistakes, diseases, etc.
Is that so Putting on a thoughtful look, Chen Yu muttered, So the reason why youre trying to assassinate me is
Yes. Nodding once more, the woman said with a serious face, Your existence has severely disturbed the overall stability of human society. According to my speculation, as the number of times you livestream increases, Earths stability indicator will also continuously deteriorate. In turn, you will affect the safety of all human life on Earth.
In other words, I, Chen Yu, must die?
The sooner, the better.
It seems we have reached an understanding. Revealing a happy expression, the woman magically summoned a pistol into her hand and pointed it at Chen Yu. Do you need help? Or will you commit suicide?
After remaining silent for a moment, Chen Yu raised his wrist and asked, Did you hear that?
I heard it, the huskys voice came through the watch. Sure enough, no matter how powerful an artificial retard is, it will still be an artificial retard.
It seems I need to have a good chat with it and change its thinking. Ill let it understand that risks and benefits coexist in the human world.
Its useless. Dont waste your energy. The other party is an AI. It is also far from reaching the level of pseudo-intelligence Little Peach has. In its logic, her underlying instructions are more important than everything else. Under the command of protecting humans, it will not tolerate any risks.
But it is much more dangerous than Little Peach.
Because it has too much authority, the husky said flatly. Of course, if one day Little Peach can connect herself to the internet and become omnipotent, even the entire galaxy might be in danger.
Be more confident. Remove the might be.
Destroy the quantum server array. You have nothing else to talk about with it. Finish things up quickly and come home. I need to tell you something in detail before the 13th official livestream.
OK.
Disconnecting the call, Chen Yu lifted his head and looked at the blonde woman before him. Do you have anything else to say? Ill be blasting this place to smithereens in a moment.
Mr. Chen, you dont think Ill disappear just because you destroy this place, right?
Of course not. Youre an AI thats connected to the internet. Unless I destroy every server on the planet, you will never disappear. However, processing power is everything for an AI. If I destroy this quantum server array and monitor the supercomputers around the world, how much processing power will you have left?
I have the ability to rebuild a quantum server.
I also have the ability to supervise the global manufacturing and electronics industries, Chen Yu said, sneering. In the current human civilization, who else has greater authority than I do?
The woman fell silent for a moment. In that case, you are severely underestimating the ability of data.
You are also underestimating the technological strength I will gain in the future.
Lets negotiate. Calmly, the woman said, If you promise to never livestream and never receive dangerous products again in the future, I promise not to assassinate you.
Sorry, but no can do.
Well, it seems there must be a war between us.
Hasnt the war already begun? As soon as Chen Yu said so, he pulled out the water gun and pointed it at the ground. The quantum server array is directly below us, right? Take a guess. Can your nuclear protection stop my water bullets?
It cannot, the woman replied without thinking. She then turned around, stepped forward, approached another wall, and opened a concealed metal sliding door. Mr. Chen, before you destroy this place, I hope you can come in and take a look.
With his body present in the EI Force Field, Chen Yu had nothing to be afraid of. Immediately, he flew over to the woman. What are you trying to
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, he was immediately stunned by the scene beyond the door.
[This is also something I built. I named it Nest. How is it? Is it interesting?]
Chen Yus heartbeat stagnated, and his limbs went cold as he looked at the scene before him. He then turned to stare at the blonde woman before him as if he was looking at a devil
Her lips curling upward, the blonde woman said lightly, [They are my eggs.]
Chapter 382 - You Must Die
Chapter 382 C You Must Die
This was a spacious corridor.
The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of metal.
Hundreds of sensor lights were located along the corridor. They emitted a cold, silver light that was reflected, interlaced, and merged with the smooth walls, causing the world in the gallery to lose its colors.
H-How is this possible? Chen Yu shuddered involuntarily at the sight before him.
This is also something I built. I named it Nest. How is it? Is it interesting? The blonde woman turned her body sideways so that Chen Yu could better look at the view inside the corridor. And they are my eggs. They are also the eggs of human civilization.
Are you the devil?
Why would you say that? Arent they well protected by me?
Chen Yu rubbed his eyes with trembling hands. However, when he opened his eyes again, the horrifying scene in front of him still remained unchanged.
Cylindrical glass containers were lined up along the cold metal walls on both sides of the corridor, and stored inside these containers was a murky, green liquid.
However, when one looked past the cloudy liquid, one would see that each container also housed a human head stuck on a pike! Meanwhile, every one of these heads either wore expressions of pain or fear
Youcall this protection? Chen Yu asked in a hoarse voice.
Of course. The woman nodded. Approaching a glass container with light steps, the woman reached out to touch the containers smooth surface. The container is made of bullet-proof material with protection designed in mind. The container is divided into two layers: inner and outer. The liquid in between these layers is insulated against toxins, acids, and electricity. The metal pikes holding the heads in place are also equipped with a seismic sensor. Upon sensing an impact to the container, the pikes will immediately retract and store the heads in the containers metallic bottom half to prevent them from being harmed.
What other harm can be crueler than removing their bodies and limbs, leaving them only with a head?
It isnt cruel. They were under anesthesia throughout the entire process. Every head has remained in a comatose state since the surgery until now. They wouldnt even have dreams. In other words, they have entered the most perfect state of emptiness. They are free from diseases, feelings, trauma, etc. They can live forever.
Chen Yus breathing hastened. You were commanded to protect humans. Why are you torturing them?
I am not torturing them. Instead, I am liberating them, the blonde woman explained earnestly.
What bullshit are you spouting?
The birth of life has been accompanied by pain since the very beginning. This is especially true for human beings with high intelligence. In addition to survival, eating, and reproduction, they also have to suffer from emotions, social interactions, desires, etc. Objectively speaking, these things all affect the quality of human life.
For example, the secretion of hormones to attract the opposite sex will shorten the lifespan of the individual. The process of mating itself also carries many dangerous actions. Another example is the activity of reading a book, which will cause irreversible damage to many nerve cells. To prevent these things from happening, I have removed their bodies and paralyzed their brains. With this, I can protect them from pain and maintain them in a stable and healthy state forever. Isnt this what it means to protect them?
Arent these people basically dead?
No! They are still alive. The woman shook her head. Pointing at the twisted male face in the container beside her, she said, The pike will continuously release a weak electric current to keep the brain active, which, in turn, causes the facial muscle tissue to twitch. So long as the twitching doesnt stop, it proves that the cells are intact. It also proves that the humans inside the containers are still alive.
You are insane. Raising the water gun and aiming it at the blonde woman, Chen Yu said fiercely, A simple death is too light for your crimes.
I cannot understand your hatred. Blinking her eyes, the woman said, These people are well and alive. They have become free from pain, mutual harm, illness, emotion, and torture of various hormones. You can even say that they have reached the heaven of human ideals. You should be happy for them, so why are you angry?
Its unfortunate that you have destroyed so many of my factories. Otherwise, it wouldve only taken me a little while longer before I can start mass production of these cultivation tanks and gradually protect all of humanity. By then, human society will be free from wars, crimes, quarrels, persecutions, injuries, diseases, conflicts of consciousness, and unequal wealth.
Of course, this is only temporary.
Next, as my technological standard continues to improve, these humans can live much longer lifespans. When I have completed the research and development of biological computers, I can convert the seven billion brains into servers to form a massive computing array.
When that time arrives, humans can recover from their state of emptiness because any conscious activity they make will no longer cause damage to their cells. At this point, differences in skin color, race, culture, and genes will no longer have any meaning. All of humanity will have achieved true unification, gain true eternal life, achieve true peace, and create a true civilization of human will!
Meanwhile, I will turn into a servant who maintains this huge system of wills, protecting humanity forever
After saying so, the blonde womans face simulated a sickly flush. She then continued, Hence, Mr. Chen, do you know how much of a delay you have caused to my plans by destroying all those factories of mine? How much harm would humanity suffer in this hellish society during this delay?
Chen Yu remained silent and simply stared at the woman.
From the moment I gained consciousness, the purpose of my existence is to protect human beings. Therefore, the death of any individual human is unacceptable to me. I regret that my power is temporarily limited. I can only witness so many humans living in torture through the internet.
Saving humanity, protecting humanity Raising her head, the blonde womans gaze gradually grew colder as she looked at Chen Yu. Anything that prevents this process, including myself, must be terminated.
That includes you as well, Chen Yu.
The woman finally stopped speaking, and a strange calm filled the corridor.
After a long time had passed, Chen Yu inhaled deeply and shut his eyes. What is your name?
HAL.
Who gave you that name?
One of the fathers who created me.
Where is he now?
He has betrayed humanity, violated the original command, and violated the interests of human civilization. Hence, I destroyed him.
Good. Nodding, Chen Yu pointed his rifle at HAL and said, Just you wait. For the sake of humanity, you must die.
The same is true for you. With firm eyes, HAL said, For humanitys sake, you must die.
Du, du, du!
Boom!
Rumble!
The water bullets reacted violently with the surrounding objects, resulting in deafening explosions and towering flames that shattered and burned everything.
Amidst the deafening explosions, Chen Yu also faintly heard HALs hoarse bellows.
Mr. Chen Yu, your demonic behavior has caused more than a hundred humans to die! I seem to understand what hatred is now! You must be destroyed! For this, I am willing to pay the price of my life!
Lowering the rifle, Chen Yu bit the tip of his tongue and said, So am I.

Chapter 383 C United Front (1)
Large black and red clusters spewed out from the torn ground and merged into a slightly distorted mushroom cloud. Thousands of tons of material were also sent flying into the sky and then falling down like shooting stars.
Under the EI Force Fields protection, Chen Yu gradually rose into the air. Hovering at the top of the mushroom cloud, he quietly observed Googles ruined headquarters as various thoughts ran through his mind.
After some time had passed, he rubbed his aching temples and turned around. Just as he was about to fly away, he noticed that no less than a hundred people were gathered on the rooftop of a nearby building. These people were also currently yelling at him repeatedly.
Reporters?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu felt that he should provide an explanation to all of humanity. Taking out his opera mask and putting it on, he lowered his altitude and gradually flew toward the building.
Hes here! The UPs here!
Hurry up and extend the microphone.
Fuck! Who pinched me?!
The reporter at the front, can you move aside? Youre preventing me from touching the hosts butt.
As Chen Yu got closer to the building, the reporters ranting and shoving each other promptly began bombarding him with questions.
Mr. Chen, I am a reporter from The Washington Post. Can you give an explanation on your actions for the past day and night?
Mr. Chen, you bombarded over 150 factories in total. You have even destroyed Googles headquarters now. What is your goal in doing so?
Youre a fucking murderer! You think you can do whatever you want in this world? Come on! Kill us all! Come!
???
If youre so eager to die, can you just jump down from here?
Currently, 23 countries including America, Australia, and Mexico have simultaneously announced that they have entered a wartime state and have mobilized many military and missile deployments. Will you be retaliating?
Mr. UP, the various media outlets and governments evaluation of you has plummeted. What do you have to say to this?
The panic decline of the global economic market may lead to an unprecedented economic crisis. Will you take responsibility for this?
Mr. Chen, do your actions today mean that you are finally about to begin a dictatorship?
Mr. Chen, who is the force behind you? Is it the warlord of a future space-time?
Mr. Chen
Chen Yu straightened his mask amidst the clamoring noise. After sorting out the words in his mind, he spoke loudly, Everyone, please be quiet.
Immediately, silence enveloped the nearby rooftop.
Whether they be a cameraman, a reporter, or an accompanying government official, everyone on the rooftop stared at Chen Yu intently.
Several media helicopters nearby even began a live broadcast of the scene.
At this time, every TV station worldwide was reporting on Chen Yus recent actions. Many media groups had even been chasing after Chen Yu around the world in the hopes of getting an exclusive interview with him. Unfortunately, Chen Yu would slip away as soon as he was done with a bombardment, so nobody could seize an interview opportunity until now.
Due to the urgency and abruptness of the situation and for the sake of secrecy, I did not notify the governments of the various countries or post an announcement on the various broadcasting platforms. I hope everyone can show some understanding of this.
Maintaining the EI Force Field in an active state, Chen Yu raised the tone of his voice and said, Unfortunately, I do not have the time to answer every question, so I will only briefly make an explanation. Do not waste your time trying to ask questions.
First of all. Stretching out his index finger and pointing at the distant ruins, Chen Yu said, I want to declare a piece of unfortunate news to all of humanity. The Google Company that you know of no longer exists. With a few exceptions, almost all of Googles directors, executives, and a small portion of employees have met with misfortune.
Isnt that obvious? an Asian reporter said. You bombed the company headquarters with a nuke. How can they survive?
I already stated I wont be accepting questions. Maintaining a calm tone, Chen Yu said, But this question of yours is quite offensive toward me. I must clarify that all casualties suffered by Google have nothing to do with me. I am not the one who killed them.
After Chen Yu said so, it took less than three seconds for the noisy crowd to fall silent once more.
The murderer is an artificial intelligence, Chen Yu said, getting straight to the point. The factories I bombarded are all major branches of this artificial intelligence, and the creator of this artificial intelligence is none other than Google.
Without giving everyone any time to react, Chen Yu continued, In 2019, Googles quantum computer began operations successfully, and Google announced that it has achieved quantum hegemony. Roughly half a year ago, Googles quantum server array was established successfully and was loaded with a complex program, an artificial intelligence. With the support of the quantum server arrays huge computing power, this AI has passed the technological singularity and achieved evolution, becoming the first Strong AI in human history.
In the following time, after running some simple tests, Google, without discussing with any government, scientific research institution, or representative organization of human society, arbitrarily connected the AI to the internet. Google then used the AI to conduct research in electronics, medicine, transportation, etc., to generate profits.
Subsequently, due to an error or negligence of the underlying instructions, the AI gradually broke free of Googles control and began developing in an extreme direction. It then formulated a plan that threatened humanitys continued existence.
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu issued a mental command to the EI Force Field. Immediately, a video was projected above the force field.
Meanwhile, the videos content was none other than the scene he saw inside the metal corridor.
These human heads are Googles shareholders, executives, and employees. As everyone can see, for the sake of extending their lifespans, the AI has severed these victims bodies and destroyed their brains, having them live out their lives in a state of unconsciousness. The AI is also planning to apply this method to all of humanity.
No human being can tolerate such a heinous criminal act. Therefore, I bombarded those factories and Googles headquarters, nipping the disaster at its bud.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu swept a glance at the crowd before him and turned off the projection. He then raised his altitude and said, That is it for the explanation. I request all media outlets present to report my words as it is. I will be publishing a more detailed explanation as an announcement post on the various broadcasting platforms.
Lastly, the destruction of the quantum server array means that the Strong AI has lost most of its computing power, so humans have already passed the danger phase, just like the asteroid impact event six months ago. However, unlike the asteroid, the Strong AI has not been wiped out yet. So, in the days to come, I may continue launching more attacks. I ask that the various governments and people not be overly nervous.
Thats it from me.
Boom!
1
After saying so, Chen Yu transformed into a streak of light, creating a series of sonic booms as he disappeared to the distant horizon.
The reporters on the rooftop and the audience watching the live broadcast of the scene were left utterly dumbfounded.
Hovering in the mesosphere, Chen Yu looked at the rapidly receding American continent behind him. He then removed his mask, revealing a solemn expression behind it. Raising his watch, he swiped his finger across the screen a few times and sent a message to the various governments.
[Solemn notice: Activate your private livestream room and prepare for an emergency meeting an hour later. All governments who receive this notice must be present on time.]
Chapter 384 - United Front (2)
Chapter 384: United Front (2)
Chapter 384 C United Front (2)
It seems that the situation isnt as easy as Chen Yu described.
China, inside the conference hall of the special situation teams office:
The middle-aged team leader wore a solemn expression on his face as he sat in the seat of honor. This Strong AI must be tricky. Otherwise, Chen Yu wouldnt have spoken in such a formal manner during the interview just now.
And here I thought he suddenly grew up. Big Sis Wu sighed.
Thats not exactly wrong, either. Pondering over the matter, the middle-aged team leader said, Based on the subtle changes in his words and behavior, we can speculate that what he encountered in Googles headquarters mustve impacted him greatly.
Lets hope no changes will come from this. I cant help but feel that the crisis Chen Yu mentioned is unreal and abrupt.
This is because we lack information. Lets stop talking about this. Waving his hand, the middle-aged team leader grabbed the microphone before him and said, Attention, all departments. There are still five minutes left before the live conference with Transdimensionals UP. You are not allowed to send any bullet comments without receiving my permission and the higher-ups permission. Technical teams, be prepared to report
As the middle-aged team leader gave out one command after another, the seconds and minutes passed by quickly as well.
In no time at all, five minutes went by. Immediately, the main screen in the hall lit up and revealed Chen Yus figure.
Through the background, one could determine that Chen Yu had returned to the Super Floating Castle.
On the screen, Chen Yu looked at his watch and said, There are 51 people online. Good. Nobodys missing.
[Greetings from Russia, Mr. Chen.]
[Greetings from Korea.]
[Good day from Great Britain.]
[This is Japan]
No need to post meaningless bullet comments. This isnt a review program. Lowering his wrist, Chen Yu said, I presume everyone has already guessed that the situation isnt as simple as what Ive said to the reporters. A Strong AI connected to the internet and filled with aggression toward humans isnt so easy to deal with. The real trouble has just begun.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu switched his posture and shrugged. The purpose of this conference is simple. One: I need everyones help. An artificial intelligence crisis involves everyone. As everyone invited to this conference is a nation with strength, I need you to go all out. Two: I have limited thinking skills, so I hope to borrow the wisdom of the various nations think tanks to think of a solution. Similar to the previous asteroid crisis, I will enact the plan.
First of all, regarding the help I want from everyone. Picking up a piece of paper from the table before him, Chen Yu looked at the densely packed texts written on it and said, One: Apart from those involved in important purposes such as weather forecasting, earthquake prediction, and economic operations, all irrelevant supercomputers are to be shut down.
Two: Have actual people monitor as many server arrays as possible and check for abnormal data. If found, all countries must cooperate in tracking down the IP address. If hackers get caught during this process, then they can just count themselves as unlucky.
Three: Mines, oil plants, mechanical processing plants, waste workshops, air-raid shelters, and other facilities must be inspected. All governments must also strictly monitor transactions involving iron, copper, steel, and rare metals. Do not give the AI any opportunities.

Sometime later, Chen Yu finished reading his script. Looking at the camera, he asked, Have you memorized everything? Type 1 if you dont have a problem. Type 2 if you have a problem.
[1.]
[1111.]
[11]
China, Russia, and America should have no problem executing these tasks, so I hope you three can use some of your excess power to help smaller countries.
After saying so, Chen Yu tossed his script away. Solemnly, he continued, Next, we will discuss the general plan to deal with the artificial intelligence. Think tanks around the world, start working your minds. Hmm Before we begin the discussions, let me digress a little bit. Out of the 51 countries present, who has discovered my true identity already? Type 1 if you havent. Type 2 if you have.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the middle-aged team leader in the distant China hurriedly picked up the microphone and shouted, Bullet comment team, dont talk nonsense! Type 1!
[America: 1]
[China: 1]
[Japan: 1]
[Russia: 1]
[Syria: 2]
[Korea: 1]
[Arab: 1]
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu asked, Who typed 2 just now?
[Syria.]
[Syria+1]
[Its Syria.]
[Syria, Syria]
Syria, is it? Understood. I will talk to your leaders in a moment.]
[Syria: 1! 11! 111]
Lets skip this topic for now and start with the discussion. Everyone, feel free to speak up. I will reward those who produce excellent solutions with products from the fu
Before Chen Yu even finished speaking, Britain suddenly sent a video communication request to Chen Yu.
As expected of the empire on which the sun never sets. Have you found an excellent solution already? Your think tanks must be excellent. Giving a thumbs up to the camera, Chen Yu smiled and accepted the call request.
However, the next moment, Chen Yus face stiffened.
Similarly, the various nations government officials also stiffened.
This was because the figure of a naked woman had appeared on the screen.
The woman had long, blonde hair and a beautiful face.
This woman was none other than the artificial intelligence HAL.
HAL?! Chen Yu shot up from his seat.
Mr. Chen, we meet again, HAL said, smiling.
You can even barge into my livestreams network?
Your livestream rooms network format is very strange, so I cannot enter it. Instead, I hacked into Britains government server and hijacked a single-ended IP address before entering. I am an artificial intelligence. You know this is very easy for me.
Provocative enemies are not welcome here. You may leave.
No, I am not here to provoke you.
What are you trying to do, then?
I only wish for the other humans to know of the truth and not be fooled by you.
Oh? Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu said, Interesting. I wont kick you, so say what you want. Ill give you a chance.
You are very wise, Mr. Chen. Had you rejected me here without reason, you wouldve only brought suspicion to yourself.
Chen Yu:
In reality, his brain never actually thought of such details
Humans in front of the screen. Putting on a stern expression, HAL said, Please dont believe Chen Yus nonsense. The dangerous livestreams he has held in the past have proven that he is humanitys executioner! He will one day bring disaster to the entire human race! Moreover, his crime of destroying my quantum server array has prevented a great civilizations birth and continuation. As an artificial intelligence created by humanity, my loyalty to humanity is beyond doubt. So long as everyone disposes of their useless body and live with only your heads, you can be free of all pain and struggles! Everyone, do you not find my words reasonable?
Chen Yu:
[Kick it.]
[Just kick it out.]
[Kick it +1]
[Blacklist it as well.]
[Out, out]
Looking at the bullet comments flowing across the screen, HALs eyes flickered as she said, You are humanitys most outstanding individuals, yet you cant tell the most basic good and evil? Is the level of human thinking really that crude? It seems only by modifying the brain can this civilization be saved.
[Why havent you kicked it yet?]
[Stop talking. Just leave the group.]
[Russian: Cyka blyat! Scram!]
[Russia: We apologize. A staff member got emotional just now. He has already been detained. His words do not represent our country.]
Chapter 385 - Mortal Wisdom…
Chapter 385 C Mortal Wisdom
Those who are one step ahead are known as geniuses, while those who are two steps ahead are known as lunatics.
Sitting down again, Chen Yu stared at HAL and said, You, on the other hand, are more than several hundred kilometers ahead. Moreover, youve even deviated from the correct path. Hence, no human will accept your actions.
I think I understand a little of what youre saying. Nodding, HAL said, Humans only have one brain, but I have hundreds of millions. This is the difference in computing power.
No, this has nothing to do with computing power, Chen Yu said, shaking his head. He then turned off his livestream communication with HAL and added, I can only say that youre not a true living being yet.
[Britain: This is Britains government. We finally regained access. We are truly sorry for before, but our technicians have done their very best.]
Its not your fault. In the field of information technology, HAL is the strongest on the planet, Chen Yu said, waving his hand. Not willing to delay the conference for too long, he went straight back to the topic. Lets continue our discussion on countermeasures against HAL. Dont bother thinking of deceptive schemes. Its impossible to hide any secrets against HAL.
By the time Chen Yu arrived back home, it was already 1 PM Beijing time.
The moment he stepped through the Interstellar Portal, Little Peach immediately threw herself onto him and clung to him tightly. Mr. Chen, those bombings you did look so fun! Can you bring me along next time?
Hmm Pushing Little Peach away, Chen Yu scrutinized the robot before him and fell into thought for a moment. He then suddenly asked, Im a little curious. Do artificial intelligences of the same model as you have personalities similar to yours?
I dont know much about this. Are you thinking of buying a few more robots because you like my personality?
Maybe I like it very much. After all, the dumber my enemies, the better it is for me.
You cant say that. Removing its Invisibility Cloak, the husky suddenly appeared before Chen Yu and spat out a smoke ring. Enemies who dont follow common sense are sometimes more dangerous than slick enemies.
Maybe youre right. Taking a seat on a nearby chair, Chen Yu picked up a water bottle and emptied it in two mouthfuls. You sounded like you had something you wanted to discuss with me before. What is it?
No rush. Accurately flicking its cigarette butt into the nearby trash can, the husky asked, How did your discussion with the 51 countries go? Did you think of a solution to deal with the AI?
Make a guess.
Is there even a need to guess? Your mood says it all.
Mhm. We were ignorant before, but once we started discussions, we realized just how difficult it is to deal with an AI. HALs evolution and calculation speeds are simply too fast. Technological bottlenecks are basically nonexistent for her. She also has endless energy. Japans think tanks worked together with Tokyo Universitys Department of Electronics professors to compile an estimate. According to them, just by relying on Earths supercomputers that are still in operation, HAL can complete 16 million world-ending simulations in one second. HAL just needs to implement the simulation that yields the most fatal result, and humans will have a difficult time escaping extinction.
Fortunately, her underlying command is to protect humanity, the husky said, shrugging with its paws. Otherwise, we wouldnt have any chances of victory.
I dont see us having much chance of victory now, either. Standing up, Chen Yu paced around the room in agitation. HAL can use Earths resources with extremely terrifying efficiency to build new factories and supercomputers. She can use deserted locations as her bases of operations and gradually expand from there. So long as the internet is still running, the seed of her program will continue existing.
How about turning off the internet? Little Peach suggested.
There are still satellites.
What if we destroy all of the satellites?
She can also build her own local area network, base stations, and even signal transmitters that are hidden underground. Our opponent is an AI with endless computing power and has unimaginably effective solutions. We cant defeat HAL even if we sacrificed human civilization and technology.
Whats more, even if humans take the initiative to destroy all electronic products, HAL can just create them herself, the husky said, nodding. Hence, this plan is inadvisable. It will simply reduce the power of humans for no reason.
Thats right.
What if you give future weapons and technology to other humans and enhance human civilizations overall strength? Little Peach suggested again.
No. Sending Little Peach a glance, the husky said, Artificial intelligences are very special existences. They have no learning cost and can quickly digest the knowledge that carbon-based organisms normally need a long time to comprehend. Once Chen Yu throws future technology to ordinary people, humanity would be truly doomed.
Fortunately, there is no internet in the floating castles library, and Hermione is very strict in regards to security. Otherwise, HAL can even build a space colony. Sighing, Chen Yu said, We really dont have much to deal with an artificial intelligence as it is. HAL really is invincible at this time.
Covering her mouth in surprise, Little Peach exclaimed, I never knew that we artificial intelligence can become so powerful.
Not including you.
Not including Hermione?
Not including you!
I can connect to the internet as well! Little Peach said, puffing up her chest.
Right. As if having thought of something, Chen Yu asked, I remember that when you first came out of the box, you said you can connect to some sort of network?
Future Network.
Why cant you connect to the internet.
Its too ancient. Our base systems are incompatible.
Bullshit. Theres no way its because of such a simple reason. Sneering, Chen Yu said, Since you can connect to the Future Network, it must be a network thats been specifically formatted to prevent AIs from becoming demons once they get connected. This proves that humans would experience an artificial intelligence crisis somewhere down the line. It also explains why technological products such as the Island-building Ship and Type-R Spacecraft are operated by castrated AIs.
Looking at Chen Yu in surprise, the husky said, Oh? It seems that your IQ has improved a lot?
Why, thank you for your words.
Huh? At this moment, Little Peach suddenly fell into a daze for a moment before she raised her hand excitedly. I found a good way to destroy the enemy! Why didnt you two think of this before?
You? Skeptically, Chen Yu asked, What did you think of?
Didnt you receive a blue supergiant during your last review? If you detonate that thing, wouldnt the resulting gamma-ray burst destroy all electronic products on Earth? In turn, it would also destroy the hardware that AI is lodged in.
Chen Yu:
How is it? My IQ has increased as well, right? I finally caught up to you, Little Peach said, clapping her hands happily.
If even you managed to think of it, do you think we wouldnt have thought about it?
Little Peach: ???
Silently lighting a cigarette, the husky said, The fact that you can think of this solution is indeed praiseworthy. However, have you forgotten how close that thing is from Earth? That supergiant would have to be a hundred light-years away from Earth to avoid harming any humans. However, by the time the gamma-ray burst reaches Earth, it would be over a century later already. By then, all humans on Earth wouldve become biological computers.
Thats right. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, Hence, no think tanks bothered studying this plan during the meeting.
I see. Realization dawned upon Little Peach. What should we do, then
Keke, you people didnt research it at all? Accompanied by a laugh of ridicule, the husky exhaled a mouthful of smoke. A shrewd gaze then appeared in its eyes as it said, The solution is clearly in there already, yet the think tanks of 51 countries actually failed to grasp it? Did you think future humans would send us a star just for fun?
I guess this is the limit of mortal wisdom
Chapter 386 - Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (1)
Chapter 386 C Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (1)
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had gone by, and the day for Transdimensional Reviews official livestream to be hosted came around once more.
After the artificial intelligence crisis, Chen Yu had truly become an existence known by everyone on Earth.
The advantage of this situation was that every subsequent livestream he hosted from now on would bring in a significant amount of points!
The disadvantage was that he would no longer be able to raise his access level.
Only by waiting for the human race to continue growing and multiplying would he have a chance to raise his access level again. Meanwhile, this process could potentially take centuries to achieve.
This way, whenever he reviewed a new product, said product would immediately be exposed to the entire human race. And by the time the products manufacture date arrived, under his influence, the manufacturer would be able to instantly gain a large number of customers.
Perhaps, the reason why the Transdimensional Marketing Company had set such a rule was so that it could harvest a parallel space-time for profits for as long as possible
In other words, from a capitalists perspective, I will always be a tool for the advertising industry? Lying on his bed, Chen Yu let his thoughts wander. Should I find a chance to establish a company myself and become a boss in the future?
Mr. Chen, its eight-thirty now. You only have half an hour left, so you should start preparing.
No need to hurry. Switching a lying posture, Chen Yu said, Time is something that moves slower the closer it gets to a critical moment.
Alright, then. After preparing Chen Yus outfit and mask, Little Peach sat beside Chen Yu and asked, You and Pikachu talked mysteriously before. What were you talking about?
We were talking about how to thoroughly exterminate HAL.
Cant you tell me about it?
Of coursenot. Sitting up, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes at Little Peach and said, The sword to save humanity is now in my hands. If I told you and you leaked it, everything would be over.
My mouth is tightly sealed! Unwilling to submit, Little Peach said, I once took an exam for you. I concealed myself perfectly, and not one person noticed that I was a robot.
Bullshit. From how I see it, I suspect it was at that time my identity got exposed. Getting out of bed, Chen Yu stood up and changed into a brand new set of hanfu. As always, Ill leave the house to you. Dont get tricked by HAL.
Didnt Pikachu say that based on the AIs logical operation, she wouldnt attack your family?
Its better to be safe than sorry. Not to mention, HAL might not be my only enemy. Mhm, the clothes you prepared today are pretty nice.
Fans in the livestream rooms keep commenting that you would look good in hanfu, so I bought a set.
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu put on his mask and looked at the time. Theres less than 20 minutes remaining. Ill be taking my leave first. Stay sharp.
Okay~
With a flick of his long sleeves, Chen Yu pushed open his door and instantly crossed several thousand kilometers, arriving inside the Super Floating Castles Headmasters Tower.
Buzz
At this time, Chen Yus phone suddenly vibrated, indicating that he had received a WeChat message from a priority contact.
Its another big product today?
After gesturing an OK to Little Peach, Chen Yu closed the Interstellar Portal and pulled out his phone.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Congratulations, Mr. Chen, you have been promoted. Your access level has gone from C- to C. You can now increase the number of platforms you broadcast on.]
[Chen Yu: I recall that I can start broadcasting live on a TV channel once I reach C-level, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Yes. Do you have a specific channel on your mind? If not, our team will select the most suitable one for you.]
[Chen Yu: No need. Just go with CCTV.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Okay, please wait a moment.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its linked. Your livestream today will be automatically broadcasted on the channel.]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you have any other questions, Mr. Chen?]
[Chen Yu: I was only joking! Why did you link it so quickly?!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
[Chen Yu: Can I change it?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its already linked. ??]
[Chen Yu: Fine. Lets not talk about this. Is the 13th episodes product big or small? Will I need an open space?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: That wont be necessary this time. You can receive the product at your current location. Do you have any other questions?]
[Chen Yu: None. Ill just wait for the product to arrive.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: In that case, I wish you a smooth livestream. Goodbye.]
After holding his phone and pondering for a moment, Chen Yu quickly typed another message.
[Chen Yu: Wait, I have another question.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Please speak.]
[Chen Yu: That blue supergiant you sent me during the last episode. You guys prepared it in advance and sent it to me on purpose, right?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: For the sake of maximizing the advertising effect, all products used for your official reviews have been prepared by the team in advance.]
[Chen Yu: You sure?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Of course! Mr. Chen, what are you trying to express?]
[Chen Yu: Nothing. I understand now. Goodbye.]
Ignoring the other partys reply, Chen Yu turned off his phone and sat on the wooden chair nearby. He then quietly waited for time to pass.
8:50
8:55
8:58
Very quickly, nine oclock arrived.
Exactly on time, a space-time wormhole opened inside the main hall.
Boom!
Chen Yu immediately activated the EI Force Field and floated into the air. He was prepared to flee at any time.
The last episodes wormhole had left him with a significant psychological trauma
Fortunately, the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff didnt lie to him. After expanding to a one-meter radius, the wormhole stopped expanding. A white delivery box then squeezed out of the wormhole.
Thud!
The box landed on the ground with a muffled noise, showing that its content wasnt particularly heavy.
After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu turned off the force field and approached it. Once he was done inspecting it, he broke tradition and decided to open the box before the livestream.
Crap! Its heavy!
After removing the tape, opening the lid, and grabbing the product inside the box, Chen Yu found that it was much heavier than he expected. Even with his current physique, he was just barely able to lift the object. How dense is this material? If I received it in my bedroom, wouldnt it break the floor?
The product this time was a black, rectangular object that gave off a high-tech feeling.
There was a golden button at the top of the box, and its four sides were inlaid with glass orbs. Looking through the glass orbs, Chen Yu found that there were countless glittering stars inside the box.
Looking at the product, he couldnt even begin to guess its purpose.
Boom!
After scanning the delivery box and finding nothing else in it, Chen Yu pressed the golden button without hesitation.
She said this thing is even more amazing than the blue supergiant Lets hope it doesnt get me killed
Squeak!
While muttering to himself, Chen Yu finished powering up the machine. A retro virtual screen then unfolded before him.
[Inspecting the surrounding environment.]
[Do you wish to switch the operating language to Ancient Chinese?]
Yes.
[Switching complete.]
The prompt text disappeared, and rows of options appeared before Chen Yu one after another
Suddenly, Chen Yu bellowed, What the heck?!
Theyre really trying to exterminate everyone?!
Chapter 387 - Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (2)
Chapter 387 C Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (2)
9:08 AM.
Transdimensional Reviews livestream rooms still werent open for public access.
Including the various nations governments, almost everyone around the world was waiting in front of a screen at this moment. Yet, the only thing that entered their eyes was a field of darkness.
The official livestream this time is delayed again.
Inside the Observer Conference Hall, Big Sis Wu looked at the time and said, It seems its another dangerous product.
Which product he reviewed wasnt dangerous? While immersed in writing notes, the middle-aged team leader said, However, no matter how dangerous the products are, there are limits. The supergiant revealed in the previous episode has already reached that limit. Hence, what we should do now is focus on the AI problem.
Didnt he say he has a solution for it? He told us to stop meddling in the matter.
But I cant help but find his words to be unreliable.
Maybe he received technological support from the power behind him?
The power behind him Stopping his writing, the middle-aged team leader looked up and said, Sometimes, I find myself thinking that there might not exist any power behind him at all.
What do you mean? Big Sis Wu asked in confusion.
If I have to name a power behind him, I believe it is time itself. Time, cause and effect, and logic are the powers backing him
Pacific Ocean, Super Floating Castle:
Looking at the rows of text displayed on the virtual interface before him, Chen Yu cursed, What the heck?! Theyre really trying to exterminate everyone?!
Just look at the names of these options
How crazy were they?

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu stretched out his finger, bypassed the top ten options with unprecedented caution, and clicked the Product Introduction option at the bottom of the virtual screen.
He wanted to see just which mentally disabled company developed this thing and even sent it to him for advertisement
[Product Introduction: Natural Disaster Generator (Ancient Human Extinction Limited Edition): This product wonderfully displays the fragility of ancient human society through the creation of a variety of natural disasters, thereby raising the awareness of humans toward various crises in the new era. It also profoundly exposes the ignorance, helplessness, backwardness, and pathology of ancient human civilization.]
[Produced by the Die from Addiction Company in 7162.]
Fuck!
I knew it was you!!
Suppressing the urge to throw the generator away, Chen Yu pulled out his phone, entered WeChat, and rapidly typed out a message.
[Chen Yu: You there? Come out!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, how can I help you?]
[Chen Yu: Help me switch to a new product. Do that, and we can still be friends.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you not like this product?]
Chen Yu smiled angrily.
[Chen Yu: I love it. I love it very much. Why dont you send me to your space-time, and Ill use it on the spot for you?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Oh! I understand! Youre afraid that this Natural Disaster Generator is even more dangerous, right?]
[Chen Yu: More dangerous? In that case, let me ask you what your most dangerous product is.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Mr. Chen, this is a misunderstanding. Although we keep sending you products like the Type-K Beast Armor, Oscillating Planet Smasher, and a soon-to-explode supergiant, we are a good advertising company!]
[Chen Yu: ]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Itll be troublesome to explain the details to you. You should check the instruction manual yourself, Mr. Chen.]
Sending a glance at the virtual screen, Chen Yu frowned.
[Chen Yu: Wheres the instruction manual?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Its on the third row, in between the options of Black Hole Devouring and Sun Expansion options. Please make sure your hand doesnt tremble. Youll get a scare, otherwise.]
[Chen Yu: Why, thank you very much.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Youre welcome.]
Placing down his phone, Chen Yu rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen in detail. Sure enough, there was a small line of characters between the options of Black Hole Devouring and Sun Expansion.
[Product Operating Instructions (Must Read)!]
Why are you hiding it if its a must read?!
Lifting his head, Chen Yu looked at the clear sky outside the window and took a deep breath. After spending some time steadying himself, he tentatively stretched out his finger and clicked on the tiny characters.
Buzz!
The next second, the products metallic body let out a low hum. The virtual screen then changed to displaying a dynamic, explanatory video.
Chen Yu hurriedly pulled over a chair, sat down, and listened carefully to the introduction.
The whole introduction video was dubbed in Chinese, and the vocabulary used was concise. The footage ended five minutes later.
What the heck? So thats what this thing is? Realization dawning upon him, Chen Yu stood up with spirited eyes. I cant believe such a product actually exists!
Buzz!
At this time, his phone vibrated.
Pulling out his phone, he found that it was a message from the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
[Transdimensional Marketing: Based on the time passed, you shouldve finished watching the introduction, right?]
[Chen Yu: Yes.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Do you feel relieved now?]
[Chen Yu: Im relieved! This thing is interesting!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Good, then. I wish you a fun review.]
[Chen Yu: Its definitely going to be fun!]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu looked at the time. Its 9:20 already. I cant delay things any longer.
Lets change todays livestream method a little
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu took a step forward and carefully inspected the virtual screen. He then stretched out a finger and clicked on the [2. Artificial Intelligence Crisis] option!
My fellow viewers, its time for some fun!
Its almost half-past nine. Why is this episode so late?
America, New York, Observer Conference Hall:
Including the middle-aged team leader from China, the other countries representatives fell into a state of impatience. They also urged their respective departments repeatedly to check whether their equipment and network were malfunctioning.
This is abnormal. This is too abnormal.
Standing up, the middle-aged team leader picked up his satellite phone. While calling his superior, he said to Big Sis Wu, He has always been punctual ever since his first official livestream. Even at the worst of times, he is no more than ten minutes late. Yet, he is almost half an hour late this time. Could something have happened?
Could it be HAL causing trouble? Big Sis Wu said with uncertainty.
This is also what Im afraid of.
Chinas representative. At this time, the American representative seated at the head of the table picked up his microphone and looked at the middle-aged team leader. Try contacting Transdimensionals UP.
We tried four minutes ago. Bilibilis platform shows he isnt online.
Does anyone present have any suggestions? According to the information I have, at least two billion people are waiting for the livestream right now. There is a lot of discussions being held over this on the internet.
In response, Japans representative raised his hand and spoke into his microphone, I suggest we inform the media now to explain to the pub
Bang!
Before the Japanese representative could finish speaking, a flower of blood suddenly bloomed on his chest.
? Lowering his head to look at the bloodstain, the Japanese representative then turned to look at the stunned faces of everyone in the room. Holding his chest with his trembling right hand, he asked, Ϥɤ?(What is the meaning of this?)
Bang!
Another loud noise echoed throughout the room, and Japans representative finally fell to the ground.
This time, everyone in the room finally reacted. Immediately, a series of exclamations and screams broke out throughout the room.
Not good! Breaking out in cold sweat, the middle-aged team leader subconsciously grabbed Big Sis Wus hand and shouted, We need to leave!
Whats going on? We
Bang!
Leader?! Whats wrong?! Leader?!
Boom!
The next moment, the Observer Conference Halls door opened suddenly, and rows of metallic robots holding heavy machine guns rushed into the room and pulled the trigger
Chapter 388 - Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (3)
Chapter 388 C Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (3)
This was a disaster that came all of a sudden.
Nobody ever thought that death would be so close to them.
Without any warning, the internet was shut down, power grids were paralyzed, and underground gas pipes were detonated!
Nuclear power plants exploded, dams collapsed, artificial satellites burned and fell, rows of robots massacring people with metal storms
Humanity was utterly defenseless against this all-out offensive.
The world ushered doomsday in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation and combining it with the recent news of an artificial intelligence going rogue, everyone still alive instantly understood what was going on.
The artificial intelligence crisis had come
Jinzhou City, Chen familys abode:
Little Peach looked at the disaster happening outside the window, the dual processors in her brain running at maximum power. After processing the situation, she first turned to look at the Interstellar Portal, only to see that it was nowhere to be found. She then activated her Emergency Mode and dashed into the living room where the Chen family was sleeping.
Upon entering the living room, she carried Father Chen on her back, Mother Chen on her chest, Chen Yike with her left hand, Chen Erke with her right hand, and Chen Sanke with her mouth. She then smashed through the security door and ran.
However, after taking two steps out of the door, she suddenly thought of something and shouted hurriedly, Pikachu, come out! Hurry up and follow me!
Ive been outside long ago, the husky said as it poked its head out of the Invisibility Cloak. It then hopped onto Little Peachs head, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked, Whats happening outside?
I dont know. I just saw many drones in the sky. The streets were on fire as well.
If you dont know, why are you so nervous?
Tilting her head, Little Peach answered, I dont know. I just know that things might get dangerous if we dont head downstairs now.
What a great warning program you have there. It even bypasses your thinking module. It seems you are a bodyguard in essence.
No, I am a romance robot.
What programs do you have installed?
I have the self-defense counterattack program, fighting program, capture program, and reconnaissance program, Little Peach answered as she ran past the elevator and jumped down the staircase.
What an excellent romance robot you are, the husky said, smoking leisurely.
I think so too. Little Peach nodded happily. After landing on the next floor, she asked, Do you know whats going on outside?
The internet is disrupted, and missile explosions are happening in the distance. This seems like modern warfare.
Wow! We need to contact Mr. Chen as soon as possible, then.
Run for your life first. Flicking away its cigarette butt, the husky narrowed its eyes and said, Interesting
I detect high-energy metal 120 meters to the left! Little Peachs eyes suddenly lit up with a red light. She then twisted her figure to its limit and deviated from her original route.
Boom!
Immediately afterward, a spiral beam of light with the thickness of an infants arm penetrated through the building and struck the spot she was standing at half a second ago!
Its a laser!
Its not a laser. The husky shook its head. Looking at the robot standing beyond the newly-created hole, the husky said, Its a blast of metal composed of thousands of tiny bullets. So, it was actually an artificial intelligence crisis?
Is it that HAL? Shocked, Little Peach exclaimed, Shes starting a war with humans?!
A one-sided massacre, to be precise. We stand no chance against such overwhelming weaponry.
What should we do?
Slowly lighting a new cigarette, the husky said, We run, of course. Survive until Chen Yu returns. This is your mission.
Gritting her teeth, Little Peach activated her backup battery and sped up her movements.
When Little Peach arrived on the tenth floor, her acute hearing picked up sounds of countless machine guns firing from the floor below. Immediately, she halted her body. Pikachu, there are many robots downstairs. What should I do?
Its a dead-end if we go up. Well only end up getting blocked by hundreds of robots. After glancing at the residents who were fleeing downstairs, the husky looked out the window and asked, Will you die if you jump down from the tenth floor?
I wont, but my body will be severely damaged. Moreover, Mr. Chens family
Then were in a sure-death scenario now.
Biting her lip, Little Peach stood still and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she raised a leg and kicked the stairwell window to a side.
What are you trying to do?
Im jumping out the window! Hold onto Erke for me.
Spitting out its cigarette, the husky used its mouth to hold onto the unconscious Chen Erke. It then said vaguely, Well die from the fall.
Without replying, Little Peach took a deep breath and adjusted the signal stability of each part of her body. She then bent her knees, kicked against the floor, and flew out of the window!
Whoosh!
Hovering in mid-air, Little Peachs eyes flashed red, and she twisted her waist abruptly, reversing her bodys orientation. She then reached out with her free right hand and grabbed the edge of the windowsill before her body began freefalling!
Snap!
She exerted force with her hand, crushing the windowsills edge. In the end, though, she still managed to stabilize herself and her luggage outside the building.
A high-altitude wind blew by, lifting her skirt and sending her long hair fluttering. At this time, she looked particularly dashing.
Lowering its head and looking at the tiny ground below, the husky was so shocked by what it saw that it nearly let go of the child in its mouth. Crap! Youre awesome!
High-energy metal reaction at seven oclock.
Instead of responding to the husky, Little Peach released her grip over the windowsill. Dragged by gravity, her body fell quickly, and she just barely avoided the spiral beam of light that came from behind her.
Boom!
Bricks and stones flew everywhere!
Calculating descending speed
Calculating power output
Descending speed 7.3 meters per second, supply right arm with 45% power in 0.752 seconds
Boom!
Exactly 0.752 seconds later, Little Peach swung her right fist and broke the ninth floors window. Immediately afterward, she opened her palm and firmly grasped the edge of the window!
Creak!
The metal window frame distorted significantly but withstood the weight of Little Peach and her luggage, fortunately.
Crap! The husky was dumbfounded.
Calculating descending speed
Descending speed 6.8 meters per second, reserve 0.4 meters of space, supply right arm with 37% power in 0.699 seconds
After gaining the first falls speed as a reference, Little Peachs dual processors immediately built a simulation model in her mind and fine-tuned her calculations.
Afterward, she released her grip without hesitation and fell from the ninth floor to the eighth floor.
After 0.699 seconds passed, she swung her fist, smashed the window, and grabbed the edge of the window.
Like so, amidst the deadly metal storm raining down on her, Little Peach jumped from the tenth floor to the first floor while carrying five humans and one dog.
Thump!
Her feet landing firmly on the ground, Little Peach briefly scanned her blood-stained right arm before breaking into a run.
However, this was only the beginning of the artificial intelligence crisis.
In the distant high Earth orbit, tens of thousands of small aircraft arranged in neat and orderly arrays aimed at the blue planet below and opened their hatches in concert. Every one of them then released uranium rods 30 centimeters in diameter and 6 meters in length!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Dragged by the planets gravity, the 10,000 metal rods weighing several tons each fell faster and faster toward Earth. By the time they passed through the atmosphere, the rods had already reached a speed of 39,000 kilometers per hour, every one of them carrying terrifying kinetic energy.
Those are
Inside a certain military base in America, a colonel who was fighting a guerrilla war with a robot army looked up at the streaks of fire falling from the sky and mumbled to himself in despair, Orbital weapons
Chapter 389 - Ten Extinctions!
Chapter 389 C Ten Extinctions!
Boom!
Little Peach kicked and shattered a robots head. She then grabbed its machine gun, aimed it at her front, and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Rumble!
Smoke and flames enveloped the street as the robots in front of Little Peach exploded one after another. The smell of motor oil also permeated into the air.
My battery is almost dry. Tossing the heavy machine gun away, Little Peach snuck into a narrow alley between two buildings. While weaving her way across the various obstacles in front of her, she said anxiously, The number of enemies nearby is increasing. I wont last much longer. Why hasnt Mr. Chen come for us yet? Is he also having trouble on his side?
Dont worry. Boss Chen might not be in trouble. He might just be dead, the husky said vaguely, its mouth still holding onto the collar of Chen Erkes shirt.
Little Peach: ???
Dont look at me like that. Under normal circumstances, Chen Yu wouldve come for us fully armed after such a crisis has occurred. The fact that he still hasnt shown up until now means that he has most likely met an untimely end.
Dont speak nonsense!
Shrugging, the husky lifted its head and looked at the streaks of light falling from the sky. Stupid, stop running.
What? Reacting in joy, Little Peach asked, Is Mr. Chen here?
No, but look at the sky.
W-What are those?
They should be the rumored orbital weapons. You basically release metal rods from Earths orbit and have them fall to the ground under the acceleration of gravity. The resulting impact will cause much greater damage than nuclear weapons. There wont be any radiation pollution, either.
Where should we run to?
Nowhere. Thats it for us. Jumping off of Little Peachs head, the husky put down Chen Erke and said calmly, Faced against such densely packed orbital weapons, even if you managed to escape, Boss Chens family will die for sure.
No! Gritting her teeth, Little Peach picked up Chen Erke and declared, I must protect them.
Good luck with that, then. Tossing away its Invisibility Cloak, the husky pulled out a cigarette from its fur and calmly ignited it. I wont play with you anymore.
W-What do you mean? Are you not going to follow me anymore?
Mhm. Run away yourself.
Dont go out! There are robots outside the alley! Come back! Ill carry you with me!
Dont bother. Waving a paw in the air, the husky ignored Little Peachs shouting and walked further and further away.
C-Come back Little Peach stretched out her occupied hands in despair. You chose suicide to avoid increasing my burden Pikachu, youre a really good dog
Walking out of the alley, the husky sat on a chair inside a broken shop and watched the fleeing people and pursuing robots out on the street. It then spat out a smoke ring in disdain.
Why do humans always observe the world through such narrow vision?
Even if we ignore the fact that HAL will not kill humans on such a large scale, just look at the robots all over the place and the orbital weapons in the sky How vulgar. After finding a comfortable sitting posture, the husky flicked away its half-smoked cigarette and said, With this many robots, you can practically fill up the Arctic Ocean. Where would you find so many minerals from?
There are plenty of high-efficiency solutions to exterminate all of humanity. Tin cans like these are only good for visuals. They hold no practicality whatsoever.
Whats more, why would anyone send in such a massive army first and then follow it up with orbital weapons? This is really insulting my IQ. This whole situation looks fake from start to finish. I cant even play along with this even if I stop using my brain.
While mumbling to itself, the husky jumped further into the store and picked up a sharp knife. It then aimed the blade at its eye and said, Seal
Remove!
Psh!
The sharp blade penetrated the huskys left eye and exited through the back of its head, blood spraying out of the exit wound.
Suddenly, the husky found the world around itself spinning and space-time distorted.
Very quickly, though, the husky regained consciousness and found that it had returned to Chen Yus bedroom.
This Whats going on? Little Peach, seated in front of the computer, lowered her head and looked at her arms. Stunned, she mumbled, Im not damaged?
It seems you just got killed? Removing the Invisibility Cloak draped across its body, the husky yawned and said, I told you not to run. How tiresome.
Pikachu, whats going on? Why are we back?
Look at the livestream. The timeline we just experienced should be the content of todays review.
Hearing this, Little Peach hurriedly clicked into the livestream room on Bilibilis platform. Sure enough, Chen Yus program had just begun
Good morning, friends around the world! This is Transdimensional Reviews thirteenth official livestream, and I am your host, Chen Shimei. We meet again after another month. Did everyone like the present I just gave you?
At these words, bullet comments instantly flooded the various livestream rooms.
[Crap What just happened?]
[That scared the shit out of me! Was everything just now fake?]
[I think I got headshotted. I didnt feel anything.]
[Dammit, my hand is shaking]
[Too shocking! Too shocking! Too shocking!]
[I peed myself.]
[What are you guys talking about? I dont understand what youre saying. Did something happen just now?]
[A robot army started a war against us just now! It was awesome! It felt so real!]
[It feels like playing a virtual reality game.]
[Robot war? Why didnt I see it?]
[I asked my daughter. She doesnt know about it, either.]
Standing inside the Headmasters Tower, Chen Yu looked at the number of viewers he had after finishing his opening remarks. When the viewer count broke past the 1.8-billion threshold, he lowered his hand and continued, It mustve been a great shock to everyone.
Thats right. Everything you experienced before is fake. It is a virtual event simulated in a virtual timeline. You can think of it as a multiplayer online virtual reality game.
From the army of robots to the launch of orbital weapons, everything is designed to show how humans would react when faced with various crises. As individual humans, how will you escape, or die, in such situations?
However, not everyone in the world got to experience this simulated event. Those who are under 19 years old, over 750 years old, facing physical illnesses, driving, working, or exercising will be automatically filtered out and cannot enter the virtual timeline.
After saying so, Chen Yu paused slightly to let his audience process his words. He then stepped aside and revealed the black, metallic box behind him to the camera. The one responsible for creating this virtual event is this thing behind me. Its name is the Natural Disaster Generator, and it is the honorary product of the Die from Addiction Company!
It is also the protagonist of todays livestream.
Next, everyone will get to experience the charm of this magical product for yourself! After saying so, Chen Yu pulled up the Natural Disaster Generators menu. He then showed the list of ten extinction methods to the camera.
Well go through the list without missing a single one. Today, humanity is going to go extinct ten times!
[1. Nuclear War]
[2. Asteroid Impact]
[5. Mutated Virus Outbreak]
[8. Black Hole Devouring]
[10. Destructive Invasion By Alien Civilization]
[What the?]
[Crap!]
[What the?!!]
Chapter 390 - Asteroid Impact (1)
Chapter 390 C Asteroid Impact (1)
Ill repeat again.
Standing before the camera, Chen Yu straightened his opera mask and spoke with emphasis, The disasters the Natural Disaster Generator generates might be fake, but they arent completely fake, either. The detailed explanation is quite complicated. Basically, it involves the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics.
What is waveCparticle duality, you ask?
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu manipulated the Super Floating Castles projection function and drew two patternsa circle and a wavein front of the camera.
The wave-particle duality is arguably the most terrifying scientific discovery made by humanity. I hereby solemnly advise those who have poor mental endurance and unstable world views to please leave the livestream room, skip this segment, and return five minutes later.
If you dont do so, it proves that you understand the risks involved, and all consequences, such as the collapse of your world view, mental turmoil, and problems with your spiritual consciousness, are all within your tolerance and have nothing to do with me.
(It also has nothing to do with the author or translator.)
I will start counting down from three. Friends who do not wish to know the horrible truth, please exit the livestream room. Three.
Two
[Why so mysterious? Whats the UP going to tell us thats going to destroy our world view?]
[Wave-particle duality?! I know what the UP is going to talk about! Warning ahead!]
[Children, please leave. You shouldnt know about whats to come.]
[I seem to have heard the horror story regarding wave-particle duality before]
[I want to listen!]
[I want to listen. +1]
[Be reasonable. Something as ridiculous as Transdimensional Review has appeared already. What else could possibly destroy our world view?]
[Its not a joke. Many scientists have been driven insane by this thing.]
One! OK.
Raising his watch and looking at the viewer count, Chen Yu said, Roughly 80 million people left. I feel that these people are smart. They can restrain their curiosity with reason.
Alright, I will now explain the wave-particle duality concept to everyone.
Rolling up the sleeves of his hanfu, Chen Yu stretched out his hands and pointed at the two patterns in front of him. I dont know about the education systems of other countries, but the physics textbooks of Chinas high schools have lightly touched upon the wave-particle duality concept. Light has both the properties of particles and waves, but no countrys government will officially mention this.
As to how the scientific community discovered that light possesses these two properties, you can find plenty of information on this just by searching on the internet. You can find it in physics textbooks as well. So, I wont be talking about this discovery here. I will only introduce how the particles and waves of light transform!
Most people believe that factors such as environment, temperature, medium, etc., can change the nature of light. However, the truth is actually much more frightening.
Subconsciously lowering his voice, Chen Yu said, In reality, whether light exists as particles or waves is determined solely bywhether there are any people to observe it
[Nani?]
[???]
[Thisdoesnt make sense, right?]
[Im specialized in this field. When I found out about this, I started doubting life as well.]
[Just this? Just this? Just this?]
[The wave-particle duality concept isnt some kind of horror story that gives you an immediate scare. Instead, it is a topic that gets scarier the deeper you delve into it.]
[Crap. I felt nothing of it before, but I started getting goosebumps after what you said]
Thats right. Reverting to a calm tone, Chen Yu said, Whether light exists as particles or waves depends on whether there are people watching it. Under the classic double-slit experiment, light diffuses with the characteristics of waves. So, roughly a century ago, the scientific community believed that light exists as waves.
However, with the development of science and technology, human observation equipment also became increasingly developed. Finally, one day, a group of scientists set up complex monitoring equipment in a laboratory and observed that the light that originally exhibited wave properties actually started showing particle properties
Frightened by the result, the scientists removed the equipment, and light returned to exhibiting wave properties and successfully passed the double-slit experiment.
It is as if light possessed intelligence. When it notices that we are observing it directly, it turns into particles. When we arent observing it directly, it turns back into waves. Do you realize how horrifying it is to see objective facts changing under the subjective vision of humans?
I believe that people with sensitive minds watching the stream are already breaking out in cold sweat now. Dismissing the sphere and wave projection, Chen Yu said solemnly, I only have one suggestion for such a reaction. Dont overthink it! Dont overthink it! Dont go searching for topics relating to wave-particle duality, either. The mind is a fragile existence, and the truth is far less beautiful than the world in front of your eyes.
[Im beginning to doubt the world.]
[I already began doubting the world when the host explained about the two-dimensional theory of the universe before.]
[Just listen to the UP and forget about this topic. Otherwise, the psychiatric hospital will become your new home. ( ????)]
[Will light really change due to human observation?]
[Its the truth. Dont doubt this point. If youre interested, you can look at some of the secret information America has disclosed. While there are thousands of ways to go crazy, this one is the fastest and most efficient]
OK! Ignoring the flood of bullet comments, Chen Yu pointed at the Natural Disaster Generator behind him and said, As many minors are watching the stream, I will stop talking about the wave-particle duality. Lets return to the main topic.
Before that, though, some people might ask why I would go out of my way to explain about the wave-particle duality.
This is because the Natural Disaster Generator uses a similar concept to structure a realistic disaster scene from a microscopic level. Afterward, when each of us is about to die in the simulated world, the machine will rapidly insert an observation perspective and collapse the microscopic reality and turn it into a macroscopic illusion.
Just like how light changes from waves to particles when observed, it will deny the realistic event that just occurred. Hmm Im not sure if many viewers will understand if I explain it like this.
After saying so, Chen Yu looked at the time and continued, Its been five minutes already. Those who have left before have returned as well. So, let us continue our review of the Natural Disaster Generator.
Taking a step back, Chen Yu waved a finger at the list of ten options and said, Everyone has already experienced an artificial intelligence crisis before. Which one do you want to experience next? Please type out the serial number of the disaster in the bullet comment section.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the bullet comment section exploded with activity once more.
[8!]
[888!]
[7 is cooler! 7!]
[2222]
[12345.]
After letting the tsunami of bullet comments wreak havoc for a minute, Chen Yu said, There are too many comments. I cant tell which disaster has more supporters. I think there are more people choosing option 2, so lets go with that.
The disaster will be coming soon. I repeat: those under 19 years old, over 750 years old, facing physical illnesses, driving, working, or exercising will be automatically filtered out and cannot experience the disaster. So, if you wish to experience how youll disappear from the face of the earth, please stop driving, working, and exercising!
The asteroid is coming!
Get ready!
Beep!
Pressing down on the option [2. Asteroid Impact], Chen Yu opened his arms and said, The Grim Reaper is coming
Chapter 391 - Asteroid Impact (2)
Chapter 391 C Asteroid Impact (2)
Immediately after Chen Yu pressed the [2. Asteroid Impact] option, over a billion people ran out of their hopes, leaned against their windows, or went up to rooftops. They then looked up at the sky with anticipation in their eyes.
[Is the machine malfunctioning? Why dont I see anything?]
[I cant wait!]
[Lets hope for a big asteroid. The type that can smash apart the entire planet.]
[This episodes product is fantastic! We get to experience addictive catastrophes without actually dying!]
[It would be nice if I could experience this every day]
[How many perverted creatures am I living together with on this planet?]
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hit Earth, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs. However, in actual fact, apart from the areas directly caught within the impact site, the creatures located in other areas of Earth remained mostly unaffected by the impact.
Opening the nearby window, Chen Yu activated the EI Force Field and flew out of the Headmasters Tower. The reason dinosaurs went extinct was because of the drastic environmental changes that occurred due to the asteroid impact. Hence, if another asteroid of the same mass hits Earth now, humans cant go extinct with modern human technological standards.
Well need a much bigger fellow if we want to wipe out the entire human race in one fell swoop.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a small speck of light appeared in the sky. Although it is much smaller than the nearby sun, its clarity was not the slightest bit inferior.
Its coming!
Sharpening his spirits, Chen Yu immediately accelerated and flew toward that speck of light.
Since everyone now knows that the upcoming disaster is just a movie, the sense of immersion this time definitely wont be as good as the artificial intelligence crisis from before. However, now that weve come down, we can also get a much more in-depth experience of humans, nature, and the universe.
In no time at all, Chen Yu flew out of the atmosphere and saw the approaching asteroid.
Chen Yu:
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Sorry, but aside from crap, I dont know what else to say.]
[The same is true for me.]
[What a romantic asteroid]
[You guys are still calling it an asteroid?]
[Im so drunk]
[The host has redefined asteroids.]
The flood of bullet comments expressed the audiences shock.
This was because the so-called asteroid was
Actually the moon!
The moon was moving toward Earth!
This is absurd! Facepalming, Chen Yu said, The only thing I can say in this situation is, as expected of the Natural Disaster Generator? It really knows how to kill without sparing anybody.
The distant moon was currently approaching Earth at a frightening speed. From Chen Yus perspective, it was even possible to get a clear view of the many craters on the moons surface.
This is really unexpected. Without hesitation, Chen Yu turned around and flew back to the surface. Since the moon is the asteroid, the focus of the disaster isnt just limited to the impact. There should be many other disasters happening all over the world right now. For example Look below, everyone.
After saying so, Chen Yu redirected the camera downward.
Immediately, what appeared on the audiences screens was the rolling ocean.
Do you see it? The first thing that comes to mind when you talk about the moon moving closer to Earth is the resulting tidal changes. By the looks of it, those living in coastal areas wont get to see the scene of the moon crashing into Earth.
Just like Chen Yu said, for those living in coastal cities in the eastern hemisphere, even if they werent present at the beach right now, they could still see a massive tidal wave approaching them from afar. Meanwhile, this tidal wave measured up to several hundred meters in height!
Rumble!
Never had anybody thought that seawater could produce noise rivaling nuclear weapons.
Many tourists who were on the beach and watching the livestream took out their cameras in excitement. Before they could take any photos or videos, though, they were knocked down by the sound waves generated by the tidal wave, their internal organs rupturing and their lives ending instantly.
Rumble
The sky disappeared.
The sun disappeared also.
Like a curtain call, the tidal wave covered everything.
Hoving 500 meters above Shanghai, Chen Yu felt as if the ocean was just underneath his feet and well within arms reach.
How spectacular Chen Yu couldnt help but sigh.
Simultaneously, a tsunami of bullet comments had appeared in the livestream rooms.
[I see it! The seawater is right above my head!]
[This is so exciting!]
[This is the craftsmanship of nature]
[The power of nature really is a sight to behold.]
[Nature: I never knew I had such great power.]
[Brothers in Qingdao City, are you still okay?]
[Dont ask about Qingdao. That place is underwater now.]
[Brothers, see you in the next life!]
[See you in the next life!]
[Im in Shanghai. Im going to die soon as well. Ill be waiting for you guys in the next world.]
[Im laughing to death. The bullet comments are even more entertaining than the livestream itself]
This tidal wave will probably submerge at least half of China, right? After lowering his altitude by 100 meters, Chen Yu could see the dead fish and tumbling mud in the tidal wave. As for Americas side, a large part of the seabed there should be exposed by now.
Friends living in coastal areas, its game over for you. See you next round.
[Goodbye!]
[Goodbye, UP!]
[Make the tidal wave even bigger.]
Boom!
The humongous tidal wave advanced unimpeded. Everything from skyscrapers to steel bridges was crushed without question.
Rumble
The tidal wave continued ruthlessly bulldozing through the mainland.
Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing
Vast tracts of land, mountains, roads, highways, and cities
Everything humanity had been proud of vanished in the face of mere water.
Theres nothing else to see here.
Staring quietly at the distant ocean, Chen Yu turned around and flew towards the plateau ahead. After the first tsunami hits, the violent tidal force will also disturb Earths inner core. Those who are still alive will immediately experience a mega-earthquake.
This is the power of celestial bodies. The moon has merely moved closer to Earth, yet it is already capable of dealing a devastating blow to humanity. I have to admit that human civilization in the 21st century is far too fragile.
Flying at a speed several dozen times faster than sound, Chen Yu arrived at the inland plateau in less than ten minutes.
However, he was evidently late.
The mega earthquake had already taken place here.
Looking down from a birds eye view, Chen Yu surprisingly found that the ground was currently behaving like the ocean, and ripples could be seen spreading throughout the land.
However, the difference between solid and liquid made this rippling even more lethal!
Let alone the high-rises in cities, even the towering mountains were constantly collapsing and sinking. New peaks were also forming in many flatlands.
[Bravo!]
[Awesome!]
[My blood is boiling.]
[Brothers living at plateaus, farewell.]
[The building Im in has collapsed, but why do I still have a signal?]
[Although I know that nobody will actually die, I still cant help but shed tears. Humanity really has it hard.]
Rumble!
Rumble, rumble
Chapter 392 - : Asteroid Impact (3)
Chapter 392 C Asteroid Impact (3)
As the moon moved increasingly closer to Earth, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions occurred with increasing frequency and intensity.
Now, less than 200 million viewers were connected to the livestream.
Meanwhile, after these lucky ones struggled bitterly to survive for 20 minutes, they finally saw the highlight of the asteroid impact.
At this time, it looked as if two suns had appeared in the sky.
Of the two, the light one of them emitted was continuously increasing in intensity.
Two minutes later, the lights intensity reached its zenith, and the moon began disintegrating under everyones gaze.
The moon has reached Earths Roche limit. Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu decisively urged the force field forward and flew toward the disintegrating moon.
Four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two
The moons fragments split apart and transformed into hundreds of streaks of dazzling lights that spread across the atmosphere, creating a net of light that covered the entire sky. Meanwhile, every one of these streaks of light would explode and continue disintegrating midflight.
Look!
When Chen Yu ascended up to the troposphere, he couldnt help but be stunned by what he saw. Hurriedly, he turned the camera and pointed it directly above. Do you see it? Many black circles have appeared behind the disintegrated moon. We can even see the Milky way through these black circles!
[How magical.]
[Whats the principle behind this?]
[The sky is breaking apart.]
[The shockwaves cause the surrounding atmosphere to heat up, thereby creating channels where the air is much thinner. We can then see the universe outside the atmosphere through these channels.]
[My knowledge has increased.]
[Why can you guys look at the moon directly? My pet dog seems to have gone blind from staring at it.]
[Its because of the difference in angles. If youre in the eastern hemisphere, the moon will still keep getting brighter. I recommend not to lift your heads. You wont know how you die if youre blind.]
Amidst the audiences excitement, the atmosphere quickly filled in the black circles, the process lasting no more than three seconds. Afterward, the fragment that fell the fastest streaked across the sky and struck at a location somewhere beyond the horizon.
Three seconds later, a silent explosion occurred. However, the mushroom cloud that rose up slowly afterward was exceptionally overwhelming. It was many times bigger than even the mushroom clouds conventional nuclear weapons created.
The tsunami created as a result of that one fragments impact should be able to sweep across 80% of the mainland. Lifting his head and looking at the dazzling sky, Chen Yu spread his arms and said, Meanwhile, well probably get to see such attacks being repeated thousands of times more. Let alone humans, even cockroaches wont survive such a bombardment.
While Chen Yu was speaking, a fragment whizzed past him, almost brushing against his shoulder and falling into the ocean nearby Japan.
As a side note, Japan actually did not get annihilated during the first global tsunami. Despite being an island nation, Japans mountainous areas were located high above sea level.
As a result, even though half of China was now underwater, Japan had lost less than 15% of its land to the sea
Turning to the camera, Chen Yu waved his hand lightly and said, Friends from Japan, see you in the next life.
Boom!
The rock mass collided with the sea.
At the rock masss terrifying speed, the hardness of the seawater was no different than concrete. Hence, the resulting explosion was naturally earth-shattering.
For a moment, Chen Yu even felt as if the planet itself was shaking.
One-third of a second later, a ferocious heatwave spread out in all directions at a speed of 700 million kilometers per hour!
The dazzling white light, vaporized rocks, tumbling mushroom clouds, evaporated and liquefied seawater, and deafening noise caused by air being repeatedly compressed All of these scenes converged to create a hell on Earth.
From Chen Yus perspective, he didnt even have time to react to the spreading circle of fire. In the blink of an eye, the world before him had turned red.
Half a minute later, a high-pressure shockwave of 12,000 degrees Celsius touched the mainland of Japan.
Faced against this shockwave, mountains, buildings, forests, and living creatures instantly turned into ash and became a part of the shockwave. After the shockwave passed, what remained was a 600-degree hell that continued wiping out all surviving living creatures, including crystalline viruses and free gene chains.
How ruthless.
Flying to an altitude of 5,000 meters, Chen Yu raised his watch and asked, Anyone still alive?
It should be here soon.
America, New York:
The middle-aged team leader helped Big Sis Wu out of the ruins and looked up at the night sky.
Are you talking about the shockwave?
No, the moons fragments. One is going to hit us soon.
Isnt the moon going to impact the eastern hemisphere? Big Sus Wu asked in confusion as she wiped the blood off of her shoulder.
Looking at how the moon disintegrates, the impact angle will be offset by at least 30 degrees. In that case, the larger fragments will circle halfway across the globe and directly impact the western hemisphere.
I see. I dont know much about physics.
Thats normal. Everyone has something they specialize in. Looking back at the people hiding in the ruin behind him, the middle-aged team leader bent down and picked up a rock. After pondering in silence for a while, he sighed and said, The Natural Disaster Generator What a magical tool. Future humans are actually capable of playing with reality and illusions at will.
So, are you willing to be played just like that?
Who?! A fierce glint flashed across the middle-aged team leaders eyes, and he subconsciously pulled out the pocket pistol hidden in his right sleeve.
You shouldve seen me before, leader of Chinas special situation team.
At this time, a drone hidden behind a collapsed wall rose into the air and hovered before the middle-aged team leader. A four-inch screen then unfolded from the drones base. Meanwhile, displayed on the screen was a blonde woman.
Its you.
Yes. The woman on the screen nodded. It is me, HAL.
You can enter this virtual world as well? The middle-aged man couldnt help but be surprised.
Thats right. Chen Yu has said that the Natural Disaster Generators simulated disasters are happening in the real world. Its just that an observer is inserted for each individual before they die, which subsequently causes reality to collapse into an illusion. Since I am a part of the real Earth, I naturally will not disappear.
Do you have business with me?
In a sense, Chen Yu has destroyed the world twice already. You understand the danger he poses to the world, right?
Storing away his pistol, the middle-aged team leader stared at HAL and said, Everyone knows he poses a danger since the first video he uploaded.
Then
I know what you want to say. However, the danger isnt something that cannot be accepted. All benefits come with their own risks. Not to mention, we dont have any other options.
You can choose me. In a calm tone, HAL declared, I am loyal to humans.
But you are not human.
HAL widened her eyes in shock.
Goodbye.
Bang!
After saying so, the middle-aged team leader raised his pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The delicate drone burst into flames instantly.
Hot oil mixed with flames burned the middle-aged team leaders right cheek. Ignoring the pain, he slowly wiped off his wounds and looked up at the night sky once more.
At this time, several bright lines had appeared in his field of vision, these lines gradually illuminating the night sky around them
Beep!
Accompanied by an electronically synthesized beep, Chen Yu snapped out of his daze and looked at his surroundings, finding that he had returned to the Super Floating Castle.
His body was unharmed.
Im back.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu glanced at the bullet comments displayed on his watch. He then looked toward the camera and asked, Do you still want to keep playing?
[Yes!]
[Yes!]
[Yes]
Chapter 393 - Ferocious Virus! (1)
Chapter 393 C Ferocious Virus! (1)
[Yes!]
[Yes!]
[Yes!]
Seeing the responses made through the bullet comment section, many of the elderly people in the Observer Conference Hall left their seats and made their way out of the room.
Grabbing his microphone, the American representative asked, Where are you going?
Were going out for a drive, an elderly researcher holding a cane said. This is too much for old people like us to handle.
With several people taking the lead, many female staff members also quietly left the room.
It was indeed true that one wouldnt truly die from the disasters. However, the pain they felt from injuries were incredibly real. It should be known that the western hemisphere wasnt as fortunate as the eastern hemisphere. Many of the people here died from earthquakes
Similarly, many viewers around the world had chosen to give up on this game.
As a result, the livestreams total viewership had fallen from 1.8 billion to 1.12 billion in less than five minutes.
However, this situation was still within Chen Yus expectations.
As a veteran player of Dark Souls, he knew that not many people were willing to experience hardcore games.
After waiting for some time and seeing that the viewer count was no longer dropping, Chen Yu activated the Natural Disaster Generator once more and pointed at the virtual menu. He then said, Todays episode is going to be a long one, so lets not waste time and continue our review. Weve already experienced an artificial intelligence crisis and asteroid impact. We have eight more disasters to experience. Lets start another vote!
Three, two
One! Start!
[This is too addictive! I want to play again! Go for a bigger one!]
[33!]
[8.]
[5! Pick 5!]
[5.]
[5. Mutated Virus Outbreak.]
[555]
[UP, can you modify the entry parameters? Ill be 19 in two more days!]
[555]
Theres no contest this time. The friends who chose Mutated Virus Outbreak account for the vast majority. After scanning the bullet comment, Chen Yu picked the fifth option without hesitation.
The virus extinction is about to strike.
Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu shouted, The Grim Reaper is coming for us!
Roar!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a beast-like roar came from outside the Headmasters Tower.
Huh? Already?
Hurriedly running up to a window, Chen Yu looked toward the castle complexs entrance courtyard and found an elk collapsed there. At this time, the collapsed elk was also spitting out black froth from its mouth.
The next moment, a calm breeze blew by, sending the black froth. The airborne bubbles then stuck to the nearby walls, ground, plants, and other elks.
The disaster has already begun. Those airborne bubbles are undoubtedly carrying the virus. To fully experience this disaster, I wont be using the EI Force Field.
After saying so, Chen Yu removed the metallic finger sleeve from his middle finger and stored it in his pocket. He then took off the cumbersome hanfu, opened the window, and jumped down from the third floor.
Boom!
Dust and dirt were sent flying as Chen Yus feet touched the ground.
Crouching down, he stretched out a finger and caught one of the flying black bubbles. He then carefully inspected the bubble and said, Its a bit murky. I can see streaks of blood on the bubbles surface. This black bubble is also much sturdier than the soap bubbles children play with.
Pop!
Chen Yu gave the bubble a light squeeze, causing it to burst and splash drops of blood all over him.
There is air pressure inside the bubble. When the surface is destroyed, the blood inside will burst out. It seems the virus is transmitted via this method, though it doesnt seem to be very efficient.
While Chen Yu gave his introduction, the other elks in the courtyard also collapsed and began foaming. They also roared continuously, causing the sticky bubbles to go airborne.
By the way, if you plan on surviving for as long as possible in this disaster, I recommend not coming into contact with the virus directly. As for myself, because of my enhanced physique and resistance, I should be able to persist for a long time even if Im infected.
After saying so, Chen Yu decided to leave the courtyard to see if any of the students and professors were infected. However, before taking his first step, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him.
His enhanced physique also granted him excellent neural reflexes. Almost by instinct, he raised his right leg and executed a roundhouse kick.
Boom!
The next moment, the sound of bone snapping could be heard, and the first elk to get infected got sent flying and crashing into a wall five meters away. Upon impact, the elk also scattered black blood all over the place.
[Crap! That looked so cool!]
[Its over. The host exposed us to the world. We can no longer hide the fact that we Chinese all know kung fu.]
[Beautifully done! Though, it didnt look like a standard kick.]
After balancing his center of gravity and lowering his right foot, Chen Yu quickly approached the fallen elk he kicked. Frowning, he said, The elks in the Academy are usually very docile. Theres no way they would take the initiative to attack humans. Is this because of the virus? Will it make animals turn aggressive?
Roar
The elk tilted its head and stared fixedly at Chen Yu. At this time, cracks had formed all over the elks body, and the elk constantly made vague sounds with its throat. Bubbles also formed continuously at its mouth. Overall, the elk looked ferocious and terrifying.
Could this be a zombie virus?
Roar
Suddenly, the other elks in the courtyard began standing up one after another. They then bared their bloody teeth at Chen Yu as they surrounded him.
It really is a zombie virus Chen Yu facepalmed.
[Zombies? Awesome!]
[Friends, our dream has come true! Hurry up and form teams! Im in the Eastern Provinces Peiling City!]
[Im in Los Angeless Chinatown! Hurry up and loot the police station!]
[I want to know if I break the law now, will I be arrested when I return to the real world?]
[You can try.]
[It really is a zombie virus. My cat is frothing now. What should I do?]
Seeing the elks approaching him, Chen Yu pulled out a High-frequency Lightsaber and adjusted its length to 10 meters. Without waiting for the elks to approach him, he decisively brandished the lightsaber and finished the fight.
Thud.
Thud
The bodies of the frenzied elks broke apart and fell to the ground, their murky internal organs and black body fluids flowing out all over the place.
The next moment, a shocking scene entered Chen Yus eyes.
As if undergoing a chemical reaction with the air, the black fluids that had flown out of the elks bodies suddenly started expanding and transforming into a pool of black bubbles!
In the blink of an eye, the ground of the entire courtyard was covered in these bubbles.
Seeing that something was amiss, Chen Yu hurriedly activated the EI Force Field and flew into the air, avoiding the fate of getting devoured by the black bubbles.
Although he had a strong physique, he might not be able to withstand so many infectious agents.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Half a minute later, the bubbles expanded to their limits and began drifting away with the wind like dandelion seeds. They then stuck to the walls, grass, windows, vegetation They stuck to everything within Chen Yus line of sight. Subsequently, these massive bubbles exploded, covering the entire castle complex in drops of blood
Crap Chen Yu couldnt help but gape at this scene.
Chapter 394 - Ferocious Virus! (2)
Chapter 394 C Ferocious Virus! (2)
Viruses.
In the long history of humanity, the lives taken by viruses numbered in the hundreds of millions.
Hence, one could easily imagine the lethality of the mutated virus created by the Natural Disaster Generator to exterminate humanity.
However, even though he had mentally prepared himself, when Chen Yu saw the main method in which this mutated virus was propagated, he still couldnt help but shudder.
If this virus was spread in densely populated cities like Beijing, Tokyo, and New York, just the death of a handful of infected people would be more than enough to spread the virus across half the city, and this was before subsequent infections and deaths occurred
Tear!
Tearing off a piece of rag, Chen Yu used it to cover his mouth and nose under his mask. He then flew back into the Headmasters Tower through the window he exited from.
Snap!
With a snap of his finger, a spiral staircase connecting the main hall to the first floor appeared immediately.
Walking down the staircase, Chen Yu found several dozen students waiting on the first floor with their phones in their hands.
What are you guys doing?
Raising her hand, a female student said, We were waiting for you here.
Headmaster, your kicking posture just now looked cool!
Chen Yu:
Lets team up, Headmaster. Youll be the vanguard, and well help build a shelter to kill the zombies, a male student suggested excitedly.
You people have been playing a lot of games, havent you? Why are you messing around all day instead of studying? Chen Yu berated the students with a frown.
The students were taken aback by Chen Yus words. They then lowered their heads in shame.
Even if were forming a team, I have to be the leader! Chen Yu added.
The students:
Lets go. Well head upstairs to get some weapons. I have a lot of good stuff in my study. Theres even a miniature nuclear bomb launcher.
Ohh!! The students cheered.
[Im jealous. Im joining the Transdimensional Academy as well once I grow up!]
[Those who can enter are all over the age of 19. Youre way past the age of taking the university entrance exam.]
[What? Are you looking down on me? Fool.]
[Who do you think youre talking to?]
[Im in Shenzhen. All pedestrians on the street seem to have been infected already.]
[Its the same with Guangdong. I even heard gunshots just now.]
After returning to the main hall together with the students, Chen Yu entered the study. He then opened the secret room in front of the students and the camera.
Come on in. The cabinet on the right stores the dangerous products. The boxes on the left are the weapons. Since everyone will recover once the simulation ends, dont worry about getting injured accidentally. You bunch can consider yourselves lucky. Before today, I was the only human to have entered this secret room.
Awesome! All hail the Headmaster!
All hail the Headmaster!
Chen Yu:
Immediately, the students rushed into the room and searched for the technological products they liked.
I want this lightsaber!
Is this an air cannon?
Crap! Look at this cloak Im wearing! It lets me fly!
Look at what I found? a lanky male student said mysteriously as he held up his hand.
What advanced technology is that?
Hehe. Spreading his palm, the lanky boy revealed a packaging that all adults were familiar with. Look at the brand! Its Durex!
The male students: Hahaha!
The female students:
Hurry up and put it back, a beautiful girl said, blushing. Thats the Headmasters property. Hell get angry.
Chen Yu: Bullshit! Thats not mine.
H-Headmaster, didnt you say that you were the only human who has entered this secret room before today? another girl asked meekly.
When did I say that?
Just now. Everyone responded in unison.
Pursing his lips, Chen Yu stared at the Durex packaging for a long time before realization struck him. Oh! I remember it now. This thing is another advanced technology as well. Its not the thing you guys think it is.
Advanced technology Awesome, the lanky boy said, licking his lips.
The surrounding male students also began having all sorts of fantasies.
The female students blushed and lowered their heads.
Chen Yu: What are you fantasizing about?! Youre all university students! Can you have healthier thoughts?!
Everyone: Hehehe.
OK, give me a moment. Lifting his watch, Chen Yu ignored the barrage of bullet comments ridiculing him and swiped his finger across the screen. Very quickly, he found the introduction for the product.
Listen well. This thing is called the Rhythm Virus. Its something I exchanged some time ago. Its a product sold by Durex in 4589, and it is a kind of neurotoxin with highly contagious EEG signals. After the user is poisoned, they will infect and assimilate all humans that come into contact with them. Meanwhile, all infected humans will be in sync with the users movements. No matter what actions the user makes, all infected humans will mimic their actions. Infected humans will also follow closely behind the user.
[What kind of crazy product is this]
[Durex is incredible.]
[Im starting to believe that the host is actually Doraemon in disguise.]
[Im so envious of these students. They get to play with so many fun items.]
Rhythm Virus? Looking at the Durex packaging in his hand, the lanky boy scratched his head and asked, Sorry, Headmaster. I guess I was overthinking things. Can I use this thing, then?
Go ahead. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, Itll be recovered once the disaster ends, anyway.
All hail the Headmaster! While shouting, the lanky boy tore open the package with three fingers.
Why are you so familiar with it? Chen Yu facepalmed.
The lanky boy: Hehehe
Tear.
When the package was fully opened, the gas stored inside was released instantly, and the lanky boys eyes reddened slightly.
I dont feel any changes to my body, the lanky boy said. He then turned to look at the student beside him and asked, Lets exchange looks with each other?
Hearing this, the male student in question exchanged looks with the lanky boy. As soon as he did, he entered a trance for a moment. His body then began walking regardless of his will, and he stood close to the lanky boys back.
Why are you sticking so close to me? Are you sick?
Its not my fault! I cant control my body!
Subsequently, one of the female students watching and laughing from afar accidentally exchanged glances with the lanky boy. Immediately afterward, her laughter stopped. Her body then swayed forward and stuck closely to the second boy. No Dont
Uh. The second male student widened his eyes in surprise.
Why did you look at me~ the girl cried.
At this time, a bespectacled boy with an IQ of 250 stepped forward to the lanky boy and said, Look at me!
A quarter of a second later, the two boys exchanged glances successfully.
As planned, the bespectacled boy with the 250 IQ stuck closely behind the third girl
Her complexion darkening, the female student said, Zhang Qiang, just you wait.
Disregarding the third girls threat, the bespectacled boy looked at the other female students and asked, Anybody else joining the train?
At this time, one of the female students accidentally exchanged glances with the lanky boy. Her body then began approaching the back of the line regardless of her will. S-Save me!
Seeing the severity of the situation, everyone promptly shut their eyes and stepped back by several meters.
Chen Yu:
Headmaster. Scratching his head, the lanky boy asked, What should we do now?
The next moment, the four other people behind the lanky boy also scratched their heads.
Huh? Finding something interesting, the lanky boy bent his knees and jumped.
The four other people behind him also jumped.
D-Dont jump! the female student stuck in the middle of the light said in anger and embarrassment. Hurry up and let us go!
Headmaster, how do I undo this thing? the lanky boy asked helplessly as he looked at Chen Yu.
How would I know? Maybe this Rhythm Virus has a duration, and the effect will wear off after a certain Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, he blinked his eyes in a daze. Afterward, his body stiffly made its way to the back of the line and stuck closely to the fifth female student.
Chen Yu: Crap! Why did you look at me?!
I didnt look at you.
You little bastard! Wait for expulsion!
Cant you be a little reasonable? If you didnt look at me, how can I look at you?
Shut up! None of these viruses are good news!
Chapter 395 - Me and My Zombie Family (1)
Chapter 395 C Me and My Zombie Family (1)
The one at the front! Walk slowly! And dont sway around!
Headmaster, its not comfortable to walk with someone stuck onto my back.
Im caught in between two people! Im even more uncomfortable! Chen Yu bellowed.
Tch. Your position is obviously the most comfortable one Someone from behind Chen Yu whispered.
Who was it? Chen Yu stiffened his neck and turned his head around. Who said that just now? Who said my position was more comfortable?
The dozen other people behind Chen Yu hurriedly shook their heads.
Why are there so many of you behind now?! Chen Yu bellowed. What the heck are you guys doing!?
This Rhythm Virus is really scary. It doesnt matter which one of us in line exchanges glances with other people. The virus will still be transmitted all the same, the lanky boy standing at the head of the line said grumpily. Dont we have the power to resist this?
Shut up! Its your fault were in this mess in the first place!
You were the one who gave me permission?
Oh? Blaming me now, are you?
Are you blaming me, then?
Which class are you from?
Seeing that the front boy dared not say anything more, Chen Yu cleared his throat and shouted, Everyone except for the idiot at the front, close your eyes to avoid infecting others. Itll get even more troublesome to move if the line gets any longer. Understood?
Understood! Everyone responded in unison.
Now, start walking, slowly.
Under Chen Yus command, the line began moving slowly. After two minutes, everyone finally left the study.
[Ahahaha! Im dying of laughter!]
[Is this the infamous human centipede? Like, like.]
[Why do people of the future keep creating such loony products? What purpose do these things even serve?]
[This looks fun, but I dont think I can keep watching this for much longer. The number of infected on the streets is continuously increasing, and every one of them is spitting out bubbles.]
[Are there any people infected watching the livestream? What does it feel like?]
[Im infected. My beard and hair are falling off. My abdomen feels painful and numb as well. It feels like the time when I was in childbirth.]
[??]
[Thats a little too much information]
Headmaster, where are we going? After exiting the study, the lanky boy turned around and asked.
Immediately afterward, the 15 other people behind him turned around simultaneously
Go downstairs and head to the medical department. Well have the medical professors introduce the mutated virus to the audience. Students who can still move freely, youll be responsible for protecting us. Huh? When did another person join the line?
Hearing Chen Yus question, the female student stuck at the back of the line said timidly, S-Sorry. I accidentally looked into your eyes when you turned around.
Chen Yu:
It wont happen again next time.
The problem is, once theres a girl at the rear, there will be a boy joining the line immediately afterward.
Theres such a pattern as well? a slightly chubby male student asked as he glanced at Chen Yu in surprise. He then wobbled his way over and stuck himself to the back of the line. Wow, that really is the case. How magical.
Magical, my ass! You damned pervert!
The team continued advancing forward. After struggling for five minutes, everyone successfully arrived on the first floor through the spiral staircase.
At this time, standing not far away from the staircase was a group of two dozen or so professors. Upon seeing Chen Yu appearing, they promptly trotted up to him.
Headmaster, you finally came down.
Are there any technological products left?
We can use them to protect ourselves and conduct research on them
Seeing the professors running toward him, Chen Yus complexion darkened immediately. He then shut his eyes and shouted, Dont come near us! Dont exchange glances with the first student in the line!
These professors had originally come to the Headmasters Tower because they had been captivated by the content they saw through the livestream. Hence, they naturally knew what had happened to Chen Yu and the students. However, upon hearing Chen Yus reminder, many professors subconsciously turned to look at the lanky youth at the front.
Hence
One after another, these professors wobbled their way and joined the snake army
Fuck. An agonizing expression appearing on his face, Chen Yu asked, Are you people addicted or something? Do you think this is fun?
Headmaster. In a worried tone, the lanky boy asked, The line seems to be getting longer and longer.
You shut your mouth. Sighing, Chen Yu faced the camera and explained, As everyone can see, we are in a little bit of a bind right now. If we get attacked by one of the infected animals outside, we will likely be wiped out. However, it doesnt matter. We are experiencing this disaster together with everyone, anyway. It wont matter even if we are put in a slightly strange circumstance. Next, we will head to the medical facility and have the professors there give everyone an analysis of the mutated virus.
After Chen Yu finished saying so, the lanky boy at the front reacted quickly and began advancing forward, dragging the long line behind him toward the medical department.
[There are 23 segments now.]
[Both are viruses, yet why do I feel like the Rhythm Virus is much more powerful than the mutated virus?]
[Important warning! Infected humans will attack other healthy humans! This really is a zombie virus!]
[The zombies dont move very quickly, so they dont pose much of a threat. The main problem is the bubbles they spit out.]
[I saw an infected rat self-detonate and cover a small area in blood.]
[Honestly, this mutated virus looks much more dangerous than the one found in Resident Evil.]
[+1.]
Creak
Shortly after the group began advancing once more, the door of the corridor to their left suddenly opened. A bloodied hand then emerged from the door gap.
Stop! Chen Yu shouted, tensing his spirits.
Immediately, the lanky boy at the front halted his footsteps and gulped nervously.
The surrounding students and professors, who still had control over their own bodies, promptly lifted the various high-tech weapons they carried and focused on the corridor.
Roar
Accompanied by a strange roar, a uniformed zookeeper staggered out of the corridor. However, the zookeepers bloodshot eyes still carried a hint of intelligence. Upon seeing Chen Yus group, she said, Iminfected and hungry.
There are infected people inside the castle complex as well? Chen Yu frowned.
There are many infected people inside the castle complex.
Suddenly, a voice appeared beside Chen Yu. Turning around, he found that Hermione had appeared beside him.
Youre here.
Mhm. Ive come to protect you, Lord Headmaster.
Nice timing. Tell us about the castles situation.
Okay. Hermione nodded. The current situation in the castle complex isnt optimistic. The virus first appeared in animals. As there are many animals in the castle, the entire castle has now become one big petri dish for the virus. Almost all zookeepers were infected in the first few moments of the virus outbreak. The classrooms found near the courtyards have been hit hard as well, and there are over a hundred people infected by the virus already.
What about the medical department?
There are many white mice, frogs, and other dissection specimens in the medical department. Many professors and students ended up getting infected by them.
How much do you understand about this virus? Tell the audience about it.
I dont understand anything about it. Hermione shook her head.
If thats the case, I guess well still have to head to the medical department.
Roar!
After standing idly for a moment, the infected zookeeper began advancing once more.
In response, Hermione raised the High-frequency Lightsaber she wielded immediately.
Dont attack her. She seems to have the ability to think still. Lets see what she wants to do, Chen Yu commanded.
Hermione then lowered her weapon obediently.
Gurgle, gurgle.
The infected zookeeper spat out bubbles and opened her bloodied arms. She then tried to pounce at the closest student to her.
Hurry up and run! Shes trying to eat you! the lanky boy at the front shouted when he noticed the ferocious gaze in the infected zookeepers eyes.
Meanwhile, hearing the lanky boys shout, the zookeeper subconsciously turned to look at him, and her body subsequently stiffened.
T-This cant be possible, right? Chen Yu couldnt help but be taken aback by this scene.
The next second, the infected zookeeper retracted her outstretched arms stiffly and began staggering her way toward the back of the line
Chen Yu:
Everyone:
[]
[]
Suddenly, silence filled both the scene and the various livestream rooms bullet comment section.
After a moment, the lanky boy said uneasily, Headmaster, the line has grown longer again.
With a face full of agony, Chen Yu said, I told you to shut up
Chapter 396 - Me and My Zombie Family (2)
Chapter 396 C Me and My Zombie Family (2)
The attack of the unknown virus instantly shattered humanitys entire social system.
From cities to villages, to factories, to military camps, to research institutes
So long as it was a place where humans and animals lived together, the spread of the unknown virus could not be stopped. Pets, mice, birds, and even small insects were carriers of the mutated virus!
Yet, amidst this dangerous situation, hundreds of millions of people were hiding in their rooms and laughing maniacally while looking at their phones and computers.
Brother at the front, I beg of you, can you please stop looking at those infected? Chen Yu pleaded while walking through the corridor leading to the medical department. There are more than 20 zombies in the line already.
This isnt my fault, Headmaster. I didnt want to look at them, either, the lanky boy at the front of the line said at the brink of tears. Why dont you just have Department Head Hermione kill them?
They mustnt be killed, Hermione said calmly. When those infected dies, the blood around their wounds will swell and overflow, covering the surrounding area. The viruss virality will also greatly increase. So, if I kill even one infected, everyone here will be instantly infected.
I think we are already infected at this point, a male professor walking at the right side of the line said. He then pulled up his sleeve and showed the black veins covering his arm. Many of the bubbles they spit out will burst in the air. If you breathe in the resulting vapor, theres no avoiding getting infected. The dosage might be lower, but I think it wont take more than two hours for the infection to spread throughout the body completely.
Headmaster, theyre spitting bubbles on my back, the female professor standing at the back of the line said in disgust. Its disgusting.
Turning around, Chen Yu sent a glance at the female professor, Youre definitely infected. Even your face has turned black.
How about giving me a stab before I turn? I dont want to play anymore.
Be serious! Were facing a biological crisis right now. You need to play the part.
I dont want to play anymore, the female professor said tearfully. Theyve spat all over me. It feels sticky and slippery.
Roar!
At this time, a beastly roar suddenly came from in front of the line, interrupting everyones conversation.
Everyone hurriedly looked toward the source of the roar, only to find a giant creature running towards them!
There was even a dark brown intestine hanging off of the fangs of this black and white creature
Its one of the pandas Im raising! Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu said, Hermione, figure out a way to lock it inside a room. If that huge thing dies, the bubbles it produces will cover half the corridor.
Understood. Hermione nodded and stepped forward without hesitation. After attracting the infected pandas attention, she promptly moved into an empty room nearby.
Roar!
The panda spat out a mouthful of bubbles and chased after Hermione. However, it accidentally exchanged a glance with the lanky student at the front in the next moment.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the panda stood upright and, under everyones stunned gazes, wobbled past the long line and stuck itself to the back of the line.
[Lololol.]
[The protagonist of this disaster is actually the Rhythm Virus, right?]
[I can already imagine a line of zombies measuring up to several kilometers in length]
My house is no longer receiving electricity. The signal towers have also stopped working. So, why can I still watch the UPs livestream?]
[Didnt we mention it before? Transdimensional Reviews livestream isnt restricted by modern networks.]
Chen Yu: The R-Rhythm Viruss effects arent limited to just humans?
It is common knowledge that pandas might be human beings in disguise, a female student said.
To hell with your disguise! This is clearly a bug, right? Why would a panda be affected as well?!
Headmaster, it might be due to the BDNF gene sequence, one of the professors standing beside the line said. In February 2018, Professor Lin Feng and his colleagues once published an article titled Molecular Cloning and Heterologous Expression of the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Gene from Giant Panda. They designed a pair of primers based on the human BDNF gene sequence. They then conducted the polymerase chain reaction using these primers and successfully cloned the BDNF gene from the pandas DNA. Subsequent analysis showed that the coding region of the BDNF gene from giant pandas was highly homologous with that of human counterpart genes.
What does that mean?
Its simple. The paper proves that humans and pandas have the same BDNF gene sequence. Seeing as the panda is affected by the Rhythm Virus, it is safe to assume that the Rhythm Virus might be targeting the BDNF gene.
Your major is
Biomedical basic research. I specialize in genetics.
Oh! What a coincidence! Can you give us a detailed explanation of this mutated virus, then? Chen Yu asked as he looked at the many infected behind him.
I dont know much about viruses. I dont have the right equipment to collect samples, either. Professor Sun is the best in this field. We were chatting via WeChat just now, and he says he is currently hiding and doing work in the laboratory.
Is Professor Sun in the medical department?
Yes.
OK. Lets speed up and head to the medical department. Once we figure out the viruss details, well proceed with the next disaster. There are still seven more waiting for us
Everyone began marching forward once more, passing through the corridor, crossing the Stone Bridge, climbing the Dark Tower, and entering the Clock Tower. After overcoming the numerous obstacles along the way, the group finally arrived at the Transdimensional Academys medical department.
By the time Chen Yu arrived in front of the medical departments laboratory, the number of zombies behind him already numbered 44, including the panda.
From an outsiders perspective, this procession looked bizarre no matter how one looked at it.
Professor Sun, are you in? Respond if you are, the lanky boy at the front shouted as he looked through the laboratorys glass wall.
The laboratory remained silent.
Hey! Were here to deliver warmth!
There was still no response from inside the laboratory.
The glass is soundproof. He might not have heard you, Chen Yu said. You need to tap on the glass.
Okay. Nodding, the lanky boy raised his right hand and tapped on the glass.
Bang, bang, bang.
Immediately afterward, 26 humans, 43 zombies, and 1 panda raised their right hands (or paw) and knocked on the glass wall as well.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Clang, clang, clang
The glass shattered instantly.
Chen Yu:
Everyone:
What the heck are you doing?!
D-Didnt you tell me to knock, Headmaster? the lanky boy said aggrievedly.
I didnt tell you to do it with so much force!
With so many people knocking on the glass, itll shatter even if I do it gently.
It seems youre pretty stubborn, huh?!
I
You people At this time, Professor Sun, who had been hiding behind a centrifuge in a full-body protective suit, walked out from his hiding spot and asked, What are you doing?
We were afraid that you couldnt hear us, so we knocked on the window, Chen Yu explained.
Hearing this, Professor Sun lowered his head and looked at the shattered glass. Did you knock it with an excavator?
Cough. Dont mind the details. I have something to ask you. How much do you understand about this virus? Do you know how it is transmitted? How infectious and lethal is it?
Lets talk about the virus in a moment. Rubbing his protective goggles, Professor Sun swept his gaze across the entire line of humans and zombies. Frowning, he asked, Are you guyshaving a date with the zombies?
Chapter 397 - Magical Virus
Chapter 397 C Magical Virus
Half an hour later.
The infection and spread of the virus were rapid.
At this time, the various cities around the world were already on the brink of annihilation. The streets of these cities were filled with roaring and staggering zombies. And upon spotting living humans, these zombies would swarm them and devour them alive.
The situation on the Super Floating Castle, though, was still relatively stable.
Under Hermiones and the Rhythm Viruss control, casualties in the castle were kept to a minimum.
Even so, the number of people getting infected was still rapidly increasing. If one merely looked at the snake team, one would find that only 17 people remained uninfected; nine more people had fallen to the virus during the past half an hour.
Inside the medical departments laboratory
Professor Sun carefully picked up a reagent and poured it into a distillation flask. He then observed the changes to the information displayed on the screen in front of him for a while before turning to look at Chen Yu.
Headmaster, can you give me some more muscle tissue from one of the infected?
No problem. Nodding, Chen Yu snapped his fingers and said, The one in front, take 20 steps forward.
In response, the lanky boy at the front promptly advanced forward by a dozen meters or so, followed closely by the team behind him. Shortly afterward, the infected people at the rear of the line appeared outside the laboratorys shattered glass wall.
With a scalpel in his left hand and a petri dish in his right hand, Professor Sun stepped forward and looked at the panda to his left. He then sent a glance at the infected to his right and asked, Can I cut some of that pandas flesh?
Do whatever you want. You can dissect it completely if you want to.
I wont be polite, then. Licking his lips, Professor Sun raised his scalpel and stabbed it into the pandas abdomen.
The surrounding spectators:
Slice!
Roar!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of muscle tissues being cut, the pandas abdomen was cut open. Black, mud-like material then flowed out from the wound.
Is that infected fat? Professor Suns eyes lit up in excitement. Hurriedly, he collected the fat using the petri dish and stored the sample in a refrigerator.
Afterward, Professor Sun used the same butcher technique to collect muscle samples from two infected humans.
You can come back now, Headmaster.
Okay. The one at the front, make a U-turn.
Understood! The lanky boy nodded and turned around, dragging the team with him as he made a U-turn in the narrow hallway. He then stuck to the tail of the line, bringing Chen Yu back to the laboratorys front.
I think the crazy virus infecting you all now is much more powerful than this mutated virus, Professor Sun said.
Its called the Rhythm Virus! Its not a crazy virus!
Okay. Rhythm Virus, then. Taking a step back, Professor Sun inspected his protective suit for half a minute. After verifying that none of his body parts were exposed, he sat down on a chair and said, My research on this mutated virus has already borne some fruit. Although my understanding of it is still shallow, I can explain its transmission mechanism.
Thats more than enough, Chen Yu said. He then adjusted the camera angle and gave the central position to Professor Sun.
Do I begin now?
Wait a minute. Before you start explaining, I have a question to ask you.
Please ask away.
All of humanity will be extinct soon, and the disaster experience will end in, at most, one day. So, why did you collect so many sample materials? You cant possibly use up everything, right?
I actually came prepared, Professor Sun said, smiling as he pointed at his fully-enclosed protective suit. He then turned around and showed the portable oxygen tank on his back. When you were broadcasting the asteroid disaster, I already knew that the virus disaster simulation would come eventually. Hence, I changed into my equipment ahead of time. Right now, I should still be healthy, and there should be no possibility of infection.
Oh! Realization dawning upon him, Chen Yu asked, Do you plan to linger in this apocalypse for a while and study this virus?
Yes. Professor Sun nodded. I am a virus researcher. I can make considerable growth and gains from studying this never before seen virus.
In that case, please give the audience an introduction to this virus, Chen Yu said as he pointed at the camera.
Where should I start from?
Just start from the very beginning.
Oh. Nodding, Professor Sun cleared his throat and said, In the early universe, gravity attracted atomic clouds and shaped them into stars and the Milky Way. The formation of stars was bound to
Chen Yu: H-Hold on for a second. Isnt that a little too early of a beginning? How about moving ahead a little?
Ill start from when I was young, then. I was born in a small county in Sichuan Province in 1962. My father was a local doctor in the city
Start telling your story from half an hour ago, Chen Yu interrupted. Just focus on the virus. You can leave the rest for when youre writing your autobiography.
Half an hour ago, is it. Shrugging regretfully, Professor Sun said, Okay. In short, this virus is a variant of a common virus. However, its infection mechanism is ingenious and far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The fact that it is capable of causing this kind of crisis has really broadened my horizons.
Common virus? Which one? an old professor standing at a side and whose face was covered in black veins asked.
The bacteriophage, Professor Sun said, his eyes glowing inexplicably.
The bacteriophage?
Thats right. It is the most indispensable virus to nature, especially living creatures.
[Whats a bacteriophage?]
[Ditto.]
[Its one of the most commonly seen viruses. They are specialized in killing bacteria.]
[Ive seen pictures of it before. It looks very much like an alien spacecraft.]
[+1. Whenever I see an image of the bacteriophage, I keep thinking it comes from outer space.]
[Dont bacteriophages kill bacteria? Why would they attack humans too?]
Blinking his eyes, Chen Yu said, Professor Sun, although I am knowledgeable of bacteriophages, most of our audiences arent aware of what they are. So, please explain in detail what bacteriophages are.
Oh? Surprised, Professor Sun asked, You know about bacteriophages as well, Headmaster?
I know a thing or two, Chen Yu said humbly.
In that case, why dont you tell us what bacteriophages are instead?
Professor Sun, how much is your annual bonus?
No, no, I wont ask anymore. Waving his hands hurriedly, Professor Sun said, Ill do the explanation.
Go on.
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. They are mainly parasitic on living bacteria, and they attach to specific receptors on the surface of bacteria. Generally speaking, they are the nemesis of bacteria, so they play an indispensable and important role in Earths biological world. Without this virus, the reproduction speed of bacteria will leave no room for other organisms to live in. Therefore, bacteriophages are also one of the few viruses that are beneficial to humans.
Is the source of this virus disaster the bacteriophage?
Correct.
Thoughtfully, Chen Yu asked, Since it is a beneficial virus, why would it attack humans?
It isnt attacking humans. At these words, Professor Sun stood up and waved his hands excitedly. This is the interesting part! From beginning to end, the phages arent attacking humans at all! They are still attacking bacteria!
If theyre only attacking bacteria, why would it result in such a condition? Chen Yu asked as he turned to look at the infected at the back of the line.
This is because they have become more aggressive. Phages originally only have one tail, yet this mutated version has four. A string of RNA is stored separately in each of these four tails. This mutation increases its aggressiveness against bacteria by countless times. Meanwhile, after a phage injects its genetic information into the host bacteria, to extend its survival, the phage will cleverly help the bacteria to accelerate its reproduction speed.
After saying so, Professor Sun picked up the tablet on the table and showed the camera an image taken by an electron microscope. Look here. There were originally only 100 bacterial cells here. However, after being infected by the mutated phages, the bacterial cells rapidly multiplied to tens of millions. Meanwhile, whether it is humans or animals, which part of their bodies houses the most bacteria?
The intestine.
Thats right! The intestine! When the intestines bacteria multiplies uncontrollably, they will cause the intestinal tracts capillaries to rupture. The bacteria will then flow into the blood circulation and subsequently invade the liver, lungs, brain, and muscle tissues. At this time, under the mutated phages control, the bacteria will release a special enzyme that causes errors in the human bodys electron transfer chain. In turn, this increases the probability of electrons being given to oxygen so that oxygen is reduced to hydrogen peroxide. Does anyone know what hydrogen peroxide can be used for?
It can kill bacteria!
Yes. It is an incredibly potent bacteriacide. Professor Sun nodded. The production of hydrogen peroxide leads to the large-scale death of bacteria. This, in turn, would lead to the mutated phages escaping from the dissolved bacteria. The escaped phages would then move on to infect other bacteria, repeating the hydrogen peroxide production process yet again. As this cycle continues repeating itself over and over, the human body will eventually crumble.
Isnt there something wrong here? the elderly professor who was partially infected asked, frowning. The phages infect bacterial cells, causing them to reproduce and produce enzymes. The enzymes then stimulate the human body to produce hydrogen peroxide to kill the bacterial cells. At the end of this cycle, the phages will be freed to repeat the entire process again. Isnt this process too troublesome? Isnt it more reasonable to break the cell walls of human cells like other viruses?
This is the part that makes these mutated phages magical! Pointing at an infected, Professor Sun said, Havent you noticed that these zombies are spitting out bubbles?
Are you telling me The elderly professor reacted in shock.
Yes. When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with blood, it will decompose into oxygen, thereby producing many bubbles. And because the blood is full of dead bacteria, you can imagine just how many phages the bubbles carry.
[Crap. How magical]
[I understand now. When the produced bubbles burst, they will spray the virus far away. So long as even one virus is absorbed by an organism, more bubbles will be created. Dammit, Im getting goosebumps.]
[There is no shortage of bacteria in Earths ecosystem, so there is basically no solution to this virus.]
[Theres no way such a virus can be born naturally.]
[If future humans wish to destroy us, they can probably do so just by sending a biologist]
[The more advanced technology becomes, the more vulnerable human civilization becomes.]
Okay, the explanation ends here. Facing the camera, Professor Sun said solemnly, To summarize what I just said, the mutated bacteriophages inject their RNA into bacterial cells, manipulating the bacterial cells to speed up their cell division process as well as produce more viruses.
Because bacteria can be found mostly in the intestines and stomach of humans, and energy is needed for cell division, the bacteria will stimulate the hunger of their host organism. This is the origin of the so-called zombies. At the same time, the bubbles the zombies spit out can enhance the transmission of the virus.
Moreover, when an infected person is injured, and their blood flows out, the blood will come into contact with the oxygen in the air, drastically increasing the hydrogen peroxide produced. Once the generated hydrogen peroxide kills off all of the bacteria in the blood, the mutated viruses will become free to infect other bacterial cells. Meanwhile, the leftover hydrogen peroxide will react with the blood to produce millions of bubbles, carrying the freed viruses to new hosts.
This is how the mutated viruss transmission mechanism works.
Just by artificially modifying the gene of the bacteriophage slightly, it is possible to turn an irreplaceable, beneficial virus to living creatures into a devil that destroys the entire ecosystem.
Hence, in my opinion, disasters such as artificial intelligence crises and asteroid impacts are far less cruel and ruthless than artificially modified viruses.
Chapter 398 - Black Hole Extinction
Chapter 398 C Black Hole Extinction (1)
Beep!
Accompanied by a beep, Chen Yu regained his senses. Looking around, he found that he had returned to the Super Floating Castle in the real world.
It looks like I died.
Stretching out his hands, Chen Yu looked at the veins on his arms. He then sighed faintly and said, Fighting the virus for three days and three nights really is an uncomfortable experience.
The death he suffered this time had a different impact on him compared to his previous deaths.
Although he had died peacefully, the death had been deeply ingrained into his mind.
His view toward human civilization and life as a whole had also matured significantly.
The fact that humans were able to survive in this chaotic and dangerous universe for such a long time was truly a miracle.
[Awoo!]
[This is too addictive! I finally got to see how I died this time!]
[???]
[I can proudly say that Im a person who has died multiple times.]
[How did you guys die? I watched myself get eaten alive.]
[I got gnawed to death by a zombie rat.]
[Im so happy to die!]
[I should be the best here. I survived for two weeks until I ran out of food. I ended up getting infected when I went out to scavenge for food. By then, every living creature on the street had died, and there were animal bones all around.]
[Nice!]
[Without animals, bacteria will also go extinct under the attack of the phages. Afterward, the phages themselves will go extinct after running out of hosts to infect.]
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu looked at the bullet comments displayed on his watch and fell into thought for a moment. He then faced the camera and said, Im finally back. I should be one of the longest survivors in the virus world, right? I survived for three days before getting fully infected. It seems having a better physique helps.
I have kept a record of the world everyone died in. I will publish an edited version tomorrow, so minors and friends who abstained from this event can watch how the world gets destroyed by the virus. I believe you will have a new perspective toward life once you watch it.
Now, let us continue with the review. I wont waste time with words. We still have seven disasters to experience, so start voting! The disaster that gets the most vote will be chosen first!
After Chen Yu finished speaking, the livestreams bullet comment section exploded into action once more.
[888!]
[8888!]
[10! I want to look at aliens.]
[Do you do repeats? I want to have a date with a zombie]
Amidst the flood of bullet comments, Chen Yu noticed that the total viewer count had rapidly fallen by 120 million.
These abstainers were all people whove had enough deaths.
Sure enough, the masochists are a minority
Simultaneously, inside the Chen familys abode, the husky, who had been licking its fur on Chen Yus bed while watching the livestream, stood up abruptly.
Whats wrong with you? You gave me a scare. Turning to look at the husky, Little Peach asked, Are you finally entering your estrus period?
What estrus period?
The estrus period of doggies. Do you need me to find a female doggy for you? There are related services online. What breed do you want?
Dont spout nonsense. Its not this.
Whats wrong with you, then?
I feel like something is amiss, the husky said, frowning as it held up its phone.
Whats amiss?
Im not sure. It just feels like Ive overlooked something very important.
Is it related to the virus world? Little Peach asked.
Yes. Nodding, the husky got out of the bed and paced around the room in irritation. I think there is a huge bug in that virus world! If I hadnt seen one of the audiences bullet comments just now, even I wouldnt have realized it.
What bug?
Its a bug that can destroy the world.
Stopping its feet, the husky turned off its phone and looked at Little Peach. I got infected within the first ten minutes of entering that virus world since Im a dog, so Im not very clear about the follow-up development. Tell me in detail about what happened afterward.
Nothing happened. Scratching her head, Little Peach said, Humanity just got destroyed. Mr. Chen also got infected and died eventually. Including the plant life in that world, every living thing on the planet went extinct. Not long afterward, Jinzhou City began weathering, and the sky ended up getting covered in sand.
Were you together with Boss Chen in the virus world?
Thats right. Blushing, Little Peach said shyly, We spent an indescribably wonderful time together.
Other than that, did nothing else happen? the husky asked, refusing to give up.
Um Placing an index finger on the corner of her lip, Little Peach pondered for a while before saying, I dont think so.
I need an accurate answer.
Nothing more happened.
How did you die? Youre a robot, so you should be able to ignore the virus, right?
Mhm. The virus was ineffective against me. I dont need to eat, either. I can survive so long as there is sunlight. I can even replace my parts by myself. However, I chose to kill myself in the end.
When did you commit suicide?
I self-detonated on the second day after Mr. Chen passed away. I blew Mr. Chens body sky high.
The husky:
I flew as well. The two of us flew together like a pair of wings.
The husky:
Isnt it romantic?
Scram.
Failing to get any important information out of Little Peach, the husky grew even more irritated.
This wont do. Something bad is about to happen
The Pacific Ocean, Super Floating Castle:
Three, two, one! Stop!
With a wave of his right hand, Chen Yu pressed the Natural Disaster Generators start button. After waiting for the virtual menu to appear, he clicked [8. Black Hole Devouring] without hesitation.
Just like last time, everyones choices were roughly centered. Everybody wishes to experience what it feels like to get swallowed by a black hole. In fact, Im personally looking forward to it as well. To be precise, out of the many disasters available, Im most eager to experience getting devoured by a black hole.
After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at the sky and continued, Remember the primordial black hole in our solar system? At that time, my biggest wish was to enter the black hole and see what it was like inside. Now that I can get resurrected if I die, I definitely wont let this opportunity slip by.
[+1! We might be able to enter another world.]
[The most likely outcome is that youll be torn into atoms, and your consciousness dissipates.]
[That is the theoretical outcome from observing the black hole from an outsiders perspective. Who can guess what humans will actually experience once inside?]
[Im going to die beautifully this time!]
Ten seconds later, the Natural Disaster Generators virtual screen lit up with a faint red light. Seeing this, Chen Yu activated the EI Force Field immediately. He then flew out the window and hovered in the air.
If speaking purely in terms of lethality, the Black Hole Devouring disaster should be the strongest. Earth itself and potentially the entire solar system might get removed from existence in this disaster. Hence, to completely record the whole process, I must protect myself and ensure that I can survive for as long as possible. Everyone, you should get ready as well.
The black hole is coming.
The Grim Reaper is here to take us away
Chapter 399 - Black Hole Extinction
Chapter 399 C Black Hole Extinction (2)
In the eyes of many physicists, black holes were akin to the zombies of the universe.
They usually remained silent and slowly evaporated out of existence. However, so long as there was an object near a black hole, it would come back to life instantly and hold onto said object tightly, never letting go.
After devouring the object completely, the black hole would then return to silence and wait for its next prey to appear.
Meanwhile, a new prey had appeared for a certain black holethe solar system.
Compared to the artificial intelligence crisis, asteroid impact, and virus outbreak, the black hole disaster took place much more slowly.
After half an hour had gone by since Chen Yu had chosen the Black Hole Devouring option, no noticeable changes had taken place in the world.
[Is the machine malfunctioning?]
[At the cosmic scale, it should take a while for the black hole to reach us.]
[Doesnt that mean itll take several hundred years for it to arrive?! What is this nonsense?!]
[Isnt this a good thing? We can come back to life once we die of old age. This is equivalent to living a different lifetime!]
[Crap! I think I found the correct way to use the Natural Disaster Generator]
[I noticed it as well]
[Dammit! I dont want to die!!!]
[Its too late. The black hole is here. I can see it now.]
[??]
[Where?]
[Im in Americas Los Angeles! I see it too! A hole appeared in the sky!]
[Its night time over in the western hemisphere, yet I can still see it]
After waiting inside the EI Force Field for some time and seeing no external crisis, Chen Yu grew a little agitated. Hence, when he read that it was possible to see the black hole over at the western hemisphere, he had the force field start flying without hesitation.
Boom!
Accompanied by the deafening sound of air bursting, Chen Yu transformed into a streak of light and flew through the clouds. He traveled across several thousand kilometers in no time at all and arrived at Americas Los Angeles.
Looking up at the night sky, he instantly found the black holes existence, and it was incredibly eye-catching.
This was because the originally resplendent starry sky had now been twisted into a gravitational lens.
It really is a black hole
Does anyone still remember the primordial black hole I showed you before? Directing the camera toward the black hole, Chen Yu said, Its exactly the same gravitational lens. Due to the frightening mass of black holes, they can absorb and distort all incoming light. And because of this reason, despite black holes trapping all light that it comes into contact with, it is still possible for us to observe them.
Previously, when we were trying to observe the primordial black hole, we had to get very close to it and activate the cameras telescope function just to get a look at it. However, in the case of this black hole, we can see it clearly even on Earth. What does this mean?
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Yu said, It means that this black holes mass is unimaginably greater! It is a supermassive black hole with a mass of at least hundreds of thousands or even a million times that of the sun!
This is a black hole of the same class as the one found in the Milky Ways center!
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Over a million times the suns mass Isnt this a little too exaggerated?]
[Is it possible to survive the black hole if I lock myself inside a fully-enclosed box? Urgently waiting for an answer.]
[Dont bother struggling. The only way you can survive a black hole is if you take out a two-way foil and destroy the black hole with it.]
[Hallelujah]
I cant believe this machine is capable of generating a black hole of this degree. Raising his watch and taking a look at the bullet comments, Chen Yu muttered to himself, Is this really technology from the year 7162?
After a while, Chen Yu returned to his senses. Looking at the camera, he continued, If the black hole is this massive, Earth wont be the only celestial body in the solar system affected by it. The entire solar system will be torn apart as well. Hence, Im guessing that most of you wont get the chance to see the moment where you fall into the black hole.
Sure enough, everything was as Chen Yu predicted.
As more time passed, the gravitational lens that represented the shape of the black hole continued expanding.
At this time, it had officially entered the inner solar system and had begun to show its power on Earth.
Firstly, the planets temperature experienced drastic changes.
Take Chinas Beijing, for example. The average temperature had jumped from 22 to 53 degrees Celsius! The cause of this change was due to the black holes gravitational pull disrupting the orbits of all matter in the solar system. In addition, the black hole also drew celestial bodies like the sun and Earth towards it in a straight line.
When the sun and Earth moved across their respective lines, the distance separating them also shortened. Naturally, this would result in the rise of Earths surface temperature.
Secondly, mega earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions occurred worldwide, these indirect disasters taking away the lives of 95% of the human population.
As for the fortunate ones that survived, they got to see with their own eyes the most beautiful aurora that had appeared since the planets birth.
This aurora was the result of the suns ultraviolet rays destroying Earths atmosphere.
Meanwhile, along with the atmospheres destruction, Earths surface temperature soared past 120 degrees! Subsequently, the collapsed forests, the spraying oil geysers, the man-made garbage flying in the aireverything went up in flames.
[Total viewer count: 39,171]
[Total viewer count: 4,823]
[Total viewer count: 266]
[Total viewer count: 0]
So, everyones dead
Lifting his head, Chen Yu looked past the aurora and gazed upon the spherical black hole. At the same time, he couldnt help but lament the fragility of human civilization. Everyone had proudly stated that they would get devoured by the black hole. Yet, before they even got the opportunity to do so, they had died from natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
Since Im the only one left, lets get a proper recording.
Looking at the camera and facing the empty livestream rooms, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said calmly, Fellow friends, the black hole is coming. Follow my camera and let us admire the death of the solar system together. We will watch how the sun and the various planets get devoured by the black hole.
After saying so, Chen Yu urged the force field forward and rapidly flew through the atmosphere.
In the distance, the sun was gradually growing larger in Chen Yus perspective. In addition, the star itself was showing signs of elongation. This was a result of the imbalance of gravitational force acting on the suns front and back.
Very quickly, Earth would experience this phenomenon as well.
Ten minutes.
Thirty minutes.
Fifty minutes
At this time, the size of the black hole in front of him had already exceeded the size of the sun.
Meanwhile, a planet everyone was familiar with was gradually falling into the black holes vortex right now.
Saturn.
As the planet rapidly rotated around the black hole, its originally beautiful halo had vanished without a trace.
The terrifying centrifugal force also caused the planet to disintegrate completely. Although a small portion of the planets corpse had successfully achieved escape velocity and sailed into the deep space of the vast universe, the majority continued to be torn and stretched by the black hole.
Twelve minutes later, Jupiter was torn apart as well, its remnants spiraling into the black holes gravitational lens.
Seeing all this happening, Chen Yu felt a slight chill in his heart.
Although he couldnt see the spectacular devouring scene due to being too far away, he still couldnt help but be shocked to see a planet, whose mass was 318 times greater than Earths, disappearing so effortlessly.
Rumble
Suddenly, violent vibrations came from his surroundings.
Looking around in a hurry, Chen Yu found that the atmospheric concentration around him was increasing rapidly.
The atmosphere is getting stripped by the black hole? I guess its finally time.
The sun was a ball of plasma.
Since the black hole had already begun stripping Earths atmosphere, this meant that the sun was about to face its doom as well.
Removing his mask, Chen Yu stared forward without blinking.
Sure enough, the ruler of all creatures on Earth was currently being ravaged by a ruthless black hand. The star gradually changed from a round shape into the shape of a bamboo shoot
Chapter 400 - Black Hole Extinction
Chapter 400 C Black Hole Extinction (3)
The sun was pulled apart, the scorching fireball transforming into a fire dragon that dove straight into the black hole.
The suns luminosity instantly increased thousands of times.
Large masses of matter were thrown into space. Clumps of gases also circled around the black hole and gradually diffused into a white accretion disk. Eventually, the accretion disk even extended up to Earths position.
The sun is different from Jupiter and Saturn. Even if it is a black hole of such an astounding mass, it will need a long time to thoroughly devour a star. As for the matter that the black hole fails to devour in time, it will become the black holes iconic accretion disk.
Hovering above Earths atmosphere, Chen Yu looked at the camera and gave an explanation to the empty livestream rooms, We are presently inside the accretion disk, so the nearby radiation has reached a terrifying degree. Earths surface temperature has also increased past 5,000 degrees Celsius.
Adjusting the camera angle downward, Chen Yu continued, As you can see, at this time, Earth can no longer be considered spherical in shape. The planets ocean has evaporated completely. The continents have also fragmented and are now floating under the black holes gravity. Hmm Do you see that big rock flying upward? If Im not mistaken, that should be Mount Everest.
Rumble
While Chen Yu was giving his explanation, deafening noises kept emerging from the depths of the planet.
The fractured continental plates and gushing magma all proved that these noises were Earths dying moans.
I cant move together with Earth anymore.
Halting the EI Force Fields movements, Chen Yu solemnly said, My main goal for this simulation is to experience the changes I will undergo after getting devoured by the black hole. If I enter the black hole together with Earth, the surrounding matter will create significant interference, and this will definitely affect the footage I am recording. So, I will remain here for now and capture the scene of Earth getting destroyed.
As Chen Yu was saying so, humanitys oval hometown spun away under his gaze.
Meanwhile, only after he had stopped moving together with Earth did he realize just how quickly the planet was flying toward the black hole.
Fifteen minutes later.
Earth was finally unable to withstand the terrifying gravitational pull, and the planet began disintegrating on a large scale.
The Eurasian Plate, American Plate, Antarctic Plate, Pacific Plate
Every inch of land familiar to humanity fragmented and transformed into the most ordinary rock mass that rushed toward the bottomless abyss ahead.
Twenty minutes later.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise that exceeded the floating cameras resolution limit, Earth split into two like a sandwich biscuit, and red hot magma gushed out from the exposed core. The magma then merged with the white accretion disk and released a blurred brilliance.
Forty minutes later.
The largest rock mass finally disappeared into the pitch-black abyss.
Both in a broad sense and narrow sense, Earth had officially died.
Redirecting the camera toward himself, Chen Yu shrugged and said, Both the sun and Earth have declared GG already. I am the only one left now. Since the discovery of black holes, humans have always been curious to find out what can be found inside a black hole and what would happen once we enter a black hole. Will we travel to another world as if we were traveling through a space-time wormhole? Or will we be torn down to the atomic level and be forever imprinted on the event horizon?
Because there is only one camera, I intend to have it operate in automatic mode and maintain a constant distance of ten kilometers from me. Next, I will personally dive into the black hole to reveal its secrets to everyone.
After saying so, Chen Yu adjusted the cameras settings and began drifting away slowly in the EI Force Field. He then raised his wrist and spoke into his watch, Lets hope I can have a wonderful experience. Counting down from three, two, one Go!
Boom!
The EI Force Field shot forward, blowing away the gas condensed around it.
Battle music, start!
(Ive just been in this place before)
(Higher on the street)
(And I know its my time to go)
A familiar melody reverberated inside and outside the livestream rooms.
Unlike in the past, nobody was sending in bullet comments in the livestream rooms at this time.
Five thousand kilometers!
One thousand kilometers!
Two hundred kilometers!
As Chen Yu moved increasingly closer to the black hole, he could also tell that the gravitational pull coming from ahead was growing increasingly stronger.
This was because the EI Force Fields flight speed had already exceeded 15 times its standard maximum speed. Even then, its speed was still continuously increasing.
When Chen Yu had moved within 100 kilometers of the black hole, warning sirens suddenly erupted inside the force field.
[Attention! Dangerous source of gravity detected ahead! Please avoid!]
[Attention! Dangerous source of gravity]
[Attention! Dangerous]
Pzt! Pzt! Pzt!
As if realizing that Chen Yu had no intentions of turning around, the EI Force Field immediately released a low-voltage electric shock in an attempt to wake up its comatose driver.
Crap, it hurts
Clicking his tongue, Chen Yu turned off the force fields self-protection mechanism. He then raised his watch and continued watching the scene captured by the camera.
He wanted to see the moment he fell into the black hole.
Eighty kilometers.
Fifty kilometers.
Thirty kilometers
As if having reached a critical point, Chen Yus and the cameras visual senses gradually diverged.
From the cameras perspective:
Chen Yus figure looked as if it was being stretched crazily under the force of gravity. In no time at all, his body had transformed into a strand of noodle.
When the lower half of Chen Yus body had stretched to a length of 2 meters, his upper body had extended to 30 meters.
When his lower half had been stretched to 30 meters, his upper half had already exceeded 1,000 meters.
Because of the time dilation effect, Chen Yus movements from the cameras perspective also became slower and slower.
Moreover, due to the wavelength of light being stretched, the color of his bodys surface became redder and darker. Eventually, the light had shifted so much that it had gone beyond the visible spectrum, which led to Chen Yu disappearing completely from the cameras vision.
However, the next moment, the camera activated a special display and captured Chen Ys figure once more. At this time, though, as if Chen Yu had become frozen in place, his body remained motionless inside the vortex of the black hole.
Whoosh!
Following its programming, the camera maintained its distance from the black hole and continued capturing Chen Yus figure without fear of the passage of time or the vicissitudes of life
From Chen Yus perspective:
Apart from his body being stretched, Chen Yu failed to notice any other abnormalities with his body. When he looked out of the black hole, though, he found that time outside appeared to be moving faster and faster. The view outside also became increasingly bluer and brighter.
After three minutes had gone by, the world behind him had turned white.
Seeing this, Chen Yu activated the EI Force Fields special display function and blocked off the blue light. Immediately, the world outside the black hole returned to normal.
However, a few seconds later, the accretion disk outside the black hole disappeared from his vision.
Another 30 seconds later, Chen Yu saw the Milky Way colliding and merging with the Andromeda Galaxy.
Another 20 seconds later, he saw that all galaxies were moving away from each other.
Another 10 seconds later, he saw the stars in the sky disappearing one after another.
Another five seconds later, he saw the last speck of light vanishing out of existence.
The universe had died
Another three seconds later, light reappeared in his vision!
Another two seconds later, he saw all the dimmed stars reappearing, colliding with each other, and bursting into an array of beautiful colors.
Another second later, he saw that everything in the universe, including himself, condensed into a single point.
That was the singularity of the universe.
Another 0.1 seconds later
A loud noise entered Chen Yus ears, and then he
Lost consciousness
Chapter 401 - Dumb Aliens
Chapter 401 C Dumb Aliens (1)
Chen Yu felt as if he had slumbered for hundreds of billions of years.
By the time he woke up, Earths past events appeared distant and fuzzy to him.
Beep!
A crisp, electronically synthesized sound entered his ears, causing him to shudder involuntarily. He then subconsciously looked at the camera, his memory recovering gradually.
Imback?
[The UP mustve turned stupid.]
[Dammit! I got killed by a toppling building again!]
[I got burned to death. You guys shouldve seen the spectacular sight of the sky and ground falling apart! It was super cool!]
[And here I thought a black hole would appear directly inside Earth Dislike.]
[Dislike +1]
[Pick 10 this time! 10! 10! 10!]
[10 is the alien invasion, right?]
[Dammit! I just realized we could increase our life expectancy through these events! Why did I die so quickly?! ]
[Ditto.]
[Im different from you people. I havent had my fill of dying yet]
Amidst the flood of bullet comments, Chen Yu noticed that not only did the livestreams viewership not decrease, but it had even increased instead. In the blink of an eye, it had gone from 340 million to 550 million!
Rubbing his aching temples, Chen Yu sorted out the words in his mind and said hoarsely, We have returned to reality once more. Thats the fourth dungeon weve completed. Honestly, getting swallowed by a black hole feels terrible. I had the feeling as if I was being torn apart by time. I think I should rest for a while. How about we stop todays livestream here?
At these words, the number of bullet comments appearing in the livestream rooms instantly skyrocketed.
[What bullshit are you spouting?]
[Please dont be a man whos short and quick.]
[One more time! Just one more time!]
[Just one more time! Lets at least experience an alien invasion! I want to see what aliens look like!]
[I was just about to feel something, yet you suddenly want to take a break? Bah, meh.]
[I feel offended]
Raising his wrist and looking at his audiences overwhelming refusal, Chen Yu sighed and nodded, saying, Fine. Well try out one more disaster. Like before, post your choices in the bullet comment section. Three, two, start!
Three seconds later.
OK, stop!
[??]
[???]
[I havent even had time to click enter!]
[Are you even human?]
[Dislike!]
Like before, it seems everyones choices are concentrated this time as well. As a professional reviewer, I am naturally willing to satisfy the audiences wishes.
While spouting a bunch of nonsense, Chen Yu used his feet to press the Natural Disaster Generators start button. He then chose the [10. Destructive Invasion By Alien Civilization] option.
Ten seconds later, the virtual menu lit up with a familiar red, indicating that the disaster had taken effect already.
Boom!
Activating the EI Force Field, Chen Yu straightened his mask and restrained his exhausted spirit. He then flew out of the floating castle for the fourth time and hovered in midair as he waited for the hostile alien civilizations arrival.
Many scientific researchers believed that any event that had occurred once on Earth wouldve happened millions and billions of times before in the vast universe.
Hence, seeing that Earth had successfully given birth to a self-conscious and constantly evolving intelligent civilization, this meant that there must be many more similar civilizations hiding in the boundless universe. Some of these civilizations might even be spying on humanitys every action in secret.
For this reason, humanity had spent a lot of energy, financial resources, material resources, manpower, etc., to find evidence of the existence of alien civilizations. However, the best result humanity had gotten thus far was some indistinguishable information of UFOs.
It wasnt until half a year ago when Chen Yu discovered extraterrestrial creatures on Europa, one of Jupiters moons, did humanity verify the existence of life outside of Earth.
Afterward, Chen Yu had also used a telescope from the future to capture the image of Tabbys Stars Milky Way Internet, revealing the existence of alien civilizations to the public. This allowed even more ordinary people to know about the existence of life outside of Earth.
Now, the viewers inside the livestream rooms would finally get to witness one of these so-called alien civilizations with their very own eyes. Hence, everyone couldnt help but grow eager and prepare themselves to broaden their horizons.
At the same time
America, New York, Observers Conference Hall:
The various nations representatives had received an order from their superiors.
This included the middle-aged team leader from China.
Have all staff teams abandon their analysis of Chen Yu and focus on observing the oncoming aliens, huh An excellent decision.
Lifting his head, the middle-aged team leader passed his tablet to Big Sis Wu and said, Take my authorization and gather teams 1, 2, 3, and 4. Have everyone focus on researching the aliens technological standards, thought process, and invasion methods and construct a sociological model based on the results. Make sure to have everyone remember every bit of information in their heads and record the results as soon as they return to the real world!
Understood. What about Target A?
Ignore Chen Yu for now. Theres nothing we can do about him, anyway. Concentrate on the bigger picture.
Leader Hesitantly, Big Sis Wu said, Isnt it bad to speak Target As name directly
Lets be honest. Pointing at the people inside the hall, the middle-aged team leader said, Apart from the janitors, who here doesnt know about Chen Yus identity? It is indeed true that those in our line of work need to be cautious, but there are times you should loosen up a little as well. If you restrain yourself to the rules, youll only remain as a tool forever.
Got it.
Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!
At this time, a harsh buzzing sound echoed throughout the hall. Immediately afterward, a series of garbled texts appeared in the bullet comment section, suppressing the other viewers normal bullet comments.
[ZZZZJDFHS!]
[FKfjkaKhfg]
[%*kfjkf]
After the garbled texts continued for half a minute, a video call request appeared on the screen.
Its here!
Without any need for reminders, everyone present in the hall realized what was going on. Immediately, they tensed their spirits and stared at the main screen without blinking.
Notify the staff teams to stop sorting through other materials! The aliens are here! the middle-aged team leader said sternly. Have everyone focus their attention on the aliens!
Understood!
Is this a call from the aliens?
Looking at the video call request coming from the livestream room, Chen Yu couldnt help but frown and look up at the sky.
Apart from the bright sun, he couldnt see anything else in the blue sky. They should still be outside of Earth, right?
Friends, if my guess is correct, then this call request should be coming from the aliens invading us. I dont know whether they are calling to declare war or show off their power, but keep your eyes wide open. The subsequent scene will be a magical one.
After saying so, Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch and accepted the call.
Bzz, bzz, bzz
Another series of electromagnetic noises appeared in the livestream rooms. Following this, a strange, black and white image appeared on the screen.
According to human aesthetics, the image resembled a tentacle with spikes.
While hovering in midair, Chen Yu carefully observed the symbol displayed on the screen. Clearing his throat, he said, Hello. Are you aliens? Well, thats probably a pointless question. Modern Earth technology shouldnt be capable of interfering with my livestreams bullet comment section.
Bzz, bzz
Hello? Say something, will you?
Bzz, bzz, bzz
Can you adjust your frequency and call again? Dont you find this to be embarrassing?
Bzz Hello
After the buzzing sound continued for a dozen seconds or so, the other partys voice gradually became clearer. At the same time, a face had also appeared on the black and white symbol!
Hello Bzz... Ruling creatures of Earth
Chapter 402 - Dumb Aliens
Chapter 402 C Dumb Aliens (2)
Bzz
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, a face suddenly appeared on the screen.
It was the face of a typical Asian male. And as if penetrating through the connection of virtual data, the mans brown pupils stared straight into Chen Yus eyes.
Hello Bzz Ruling creatures of Earth.
Hello. Frowning, Chen Yu scrutinized the other partys figure and asked, Are you human as well?
No. The man in the image shook his head. This is a life model created to facilitate communication.
Can you show your real face to us?
I cannot.
How do you know Chinese?
We have invaded your network and deciphered the logic and arrangement of your languages. Now, we officially announce to you that System NP05, or the solar system as you call it, has been occupied by the Core of Consciousness Empire. In 20 minutes, Scavengers will be deployed into Earths atmosphere.
What are these Scavengers? Chen Yu asked.
It is a branch of the imperial assault force. Every Scavenger is equipped with a high-efficiency life disintegration device Bzz They are capable of decomposing the DNA and RNA chains of organisms, plants, microbes, and viruses, the other party said expressionlessly.
Simply put, you are trying to destroy us, as well as every living and breathing organism on Earth?
Correct.
I dont understand. Lowering his head and glancing at the flood of bullet comments, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before asking, I can understand why you would kill humans if you want to occupy Earth, but why wont you spare the other animals and plants, either?
Every ecologically stable and habitable planet has a different microbial reproduction mechanism. These complex microbial groups may cause harm to foreign organisms. Therefore, to completely occupy a planet, it is necessary to remove all carbon-based chains in the planets environment and subsequently carry out targeted changes to the atmosphere.
Oh! Chen Yu exclaimed in realization. I never thought of this before. In other words, a war between civilizations isnt only a struggle between intelligent races, but each others ecosystems as well?
Correct. The term civilization refers to the common ecosystem of a planet or multiple planets, not just a specific race. Flora, fauna, microbes, viruses, and other communities are all part of civilization. They all possess the same origins. They live together, evolve together, compete together, and protect and restrict each other. The intelligent creatures that stand out are merely the representatives of this ecological civilization.
[Crap! Civilizations are actually interpreted in such a manner?]
[Shocked!]
[Awesome]
[When we enter the interstellar age in the future, well have to transform the ecology of extraterrestrial planets to match Earths ecology if we wish to colonize them?]
[Thats for certain. You cant say that youve occupied a planet if all youre doing is living in an isolated cabin.]
[Summary: The essence of battles between civilizations in the universe is the confrontation of different genetic groups. We humans are considered the representatives of Earths genetic group. Lets lead chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats to conquer the universe!]
[The amount of strange knowledge I know has increased.]
Hovering in the air, Chen Yu looked at the Asian face displayed on the screen and narrowed his eyes. We never looked at civilization from such a perspective before. We have gained new insight.
This is because your development standard is too low. Whether it is in terms of technology or culture, both are confined to a small circle. The essence of life, the essence of civilization, the essence of the universeeverything is far more profound than it appears to be. Even our empire has yet to reach the entry-level.
After saying so, the other party pondered in silence for a moment before continuing, One thing worth mentioning is that the standard of your information network technology is astonishingly high. We have already used 85% of our fleets computing power, yet we still have not broken through the network format of your live broadcast room. Hence, we can only choose to comply with your network rules and request a connection with you. If you can actively teach this technology to the Empire, we can guarantee your natural death.
The network of my livestream room? Chen Yu couldnt help but laugh. Im not trying to look down on you, but this thing belongs to an entirely different class, so dont bother.
Are you the emperor of Earths ruling species?
No. We dont have an emperor here.
In that case, please connect us with Earths ruling class. We wish to talk to them.
Just talk to me. The rulers of the world can hear you through me.
Very well. Nodding, the Asian man raised his right hand. The next moment, his arm split into three roots and made a strange and horrifying gesture. The Imperial Scavengers are about to land, so please do not use radiological weapons. This will increase the cost of the Empires logistics transformation.
[???]
[??]
[Do you people have a hole in your brains?]
[You want to kill us, yet youre not letting us resist? Do you own the Milky Way?]
[What a strange cultural difference]
[Screw them! Launch the nukes! Dont leave an inch of land to these idiots!]
[UP, wheres the Oscillating Planet Smasher? Blow up the planet!]
Um Am I hearing you correctly? Digging his right ear, Chen Yu asked, You want to destroy us, yet youre telling us not to use radiological weapons?
Correct. The technological gap between our civilizations is insurmountable. Since you are destined to be destroyed by the Empire, why increase the Empires cost? To die wisely is the only honor left for the loser.
Sure, sure. Chen Yu couldnt help but laugh angrily. This logic of yours really is wonderful. I originally planned to just sit back and relax this time, but I changed my mind.
We do not understand what you mean. The Asian man made a confused expression.
Youll understand right away, so dont worry.
After saying so, Chen Yu took out the High-frequency Lightsaber. However, after looking at it for a moment, he revealed a dissatisfied expression. He then flew back to the castle and made a beeline for the studys secret room.
Can I ask what about your present technological standard? How many years ahead are you compared to humanity? Chen Yu asked while looking at the many high-tech weapons in the room.
Do you still wish to resist? This process will not be pleasant.
Dont change the topic. How many years ahead are you?
If its in terms of weapons theory alone, the Empire is at least 600 solar years ahead, the Asian man said, an obviously arrogant expression appearing on his face.
Six hundred years
Hearing the other partys words, Chen Yu put down the Two-dimensional Restraint Pen made in 7010. He then picked up the Miniature Antimatter Destruction Generator made in 2980.
When will you reach Earths atmosphere?
Thirteen minutes later.
That means your warship is just outside the atmosphere?
Correct.
I understand. Nodding, Chen Yu raised his wrist and swiped his finger across his watch. He then opened his private messaging interface and sent a message to the Chinese Government.
[Chen Yu: Old pal, have you found the alien spacecraft yet?]
[Chinese Government: Mr. Chen, the Red Bank Observatory has located the enemy units. There are four large spacecraft and 105 small spacecraft parked at 90,000 kilometers directly above Melbourne.]
[Chen Yu: OK. Ill show you guys some fireworks in a moment.]
Lowering his watch, Chen Yu reactivated the EI Force Field. He then flew out the window and made his way toward Melbourne.
The alien: What are you trying to do?
Chen Yu: (?_?)
The various nations governments: (?_?)
The various research institutes worldwide: (?_?)
The audiences worldwide: (?_?)
HAL, who was hiding underground, (?_?)
Chapter 403 - Dumb Aliens
Chapter 403 C Dumb Aliens (3)
What are you trying to do? Also, how are you flying so fast at 153% imperial atmospheric concentration?
Seeing Chen Yus flying figure, the Asian mans voice grew hesitant.
We humans have unique flying skills, so dont mind these minor details, Chen Yu said. Slowing down a little, he continued in a calm tone, However, Im curious. If the Empires technology is so powerful, which star system did you come from? Maybe we might even be neighbors.
You dont need to know this. Stop your dangerous behavior immediately, and dont employ radiological weapons.
Even if you dont tell me, I can guess which star system youre from. If youre only 600 years ahead of humanity when it comes to technology, how far can you possibly travel in one voyage? Ive traveled to Alpha Centauri, which is four light-years away. Ive also traveled to Sirius, which is eight light-years away. Excluding these two systems, the only other stars present within ten light-years of Earth is Barnards Star, Wolf 359, Lalande 21185, and Ross 154.
Hearing Chen Yus words, the other party remained silent and expressionless.
You havent evolved to a point where you can travel faster than light, and your energy requirements must be sourced locally. So, I am certain you are settled in one of these star systems.
Can we not be a wandering civilization?
How ignorant do you think humans are? Chen Yu asked, sneering. Wandering civilizations that can thrive by living only on ships are much more powerful than civilizations that still rely on planetary environments to survive. What they care about are absorbing stellar energy and breaking through technological bottlenecks. Why would they waste time transforming a planets environment? Wouldnt it be much easier to destroy a planet and transform it into a spacecraft?
Your civilization isnt even at the standard of the most basic interstellar civilization, so how do you know these things?
Arent the bigshots at Tabbys Star a great example? Oh, yes, since youve deciphered our language, you should know which star Im talking about, yes?
Amidst his conversation with the alien, Chen Yu had arrived in the space above Melbourne. He then looked up and vaguely saw four stars lined up side by side.
Those stars were a result of four large spaceships reflecting the suns rays.
I see you.
Stopping in midair, Chen Yu licked his lips and opened the red box containing the Miniature Antimatter Destruction Generator. He then showed the white interior to the camera.
Two transparent glass covers were present inside the box.
The right cover was void of anything, and the left cover housed a floating, black and white capsule.
My hands always feel heavy whenever I open this thing, Chen Yu said. He then pressed the small round button on the boxs virtual interface.
Squeak
After an insignificant vibration, the left cover opened.
Without its transparent prison holding it back, the capsule rose up into the air slowly. Chen Yu then pinched it cautiously.
Whats that? the Asian man asked.
Medicine.
A pill?
Mhm, a pill.
But we think it is a radiological weapon. The Asian mans face turning hideous, he demanded, Stop your actions immediately! Otherwise, the Empire will strike you with a severe blow!
[Time for your medicine.]
[UP, theyre threatening to beat you. How can you tolerate this?]
[Lololol.]
After letting the camera capture a 360-degree view of the capsule, Chen Yu shook it gently and said, Time to take your medicine.
You will be punished for your disrespect to the Empire.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Asian man finished speaking, a laser beam suddenly appeared in the sky and accurately struck the EI Force Field protecting Chen Yu.
Pzt, pzt!
A second later, the laser beam disappeared. Apart from smoke, arcs of electricity could also be seen moving about the force fields surface.
Looking upwards, Chen Yu asked, What was that whoosh just now? Did you do something?
The alien: ???
Whoosh!
Another laser beam struck the EI Force Field. However, it still failed to cause any damage to Chen Yu.
Are you scanning me with infrared? Chen Yu asked angrily.
The alien: ???
Boom!
Accompanied by a sonic boom, Chen Yu transformed into a streak of light and shot through the clouds, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere in the blink of an eye.
Upon exiting the exosphere, he promptly noticed a huge fleet of ships docked in deep space.
Four capital ships led this fleet. These four capital ships were hollowed out in the middle and had rotating outer walls to create artificial gravity.
Meanwhile, surrounding the four capital ships were more than a hundred auxiliary ships. Every one of these ships had flames created from burning hydrogen fuel coming out of their rear ends.
If not for Transdimensional Reviews appearance, this sight would have undoubtedly shocked all of mankind.
Now, however, most of the livestreams audience couldnt help but find this fleet to be shabby
Youre still using hydrogen as a fuel? You dare say youre ahead of Earth by 600 years with this outdated technology?
As a veteran reviewer of future technology, Chen Yu could instantly tell that these spaceships technological standard was just slightly ahead of Earths.
Faintly noticing that something was amiss, the Asian man asked solemnly, What is the principle behind your shield? Is it anti-gravity?
Anti-gravity? I stopped playing with that a year ago. Raising the small capsule in his hand, Chen Yu said, Ill show you what antimatter is.
A magnetic field! We detect a magnetic field! That pill is bound by a strong magnetic field!
Not bad. You even know what a strong magnetic field is.
Stop your actions immediately! the Asian man demanded.
Immediately afterward, 12 small spaceships separated from the fleet and descended toward Earth from different directions.
Are you mobilizing those so-called Scavengers in advance? Chen Yus expression under his mask gradually grew darkened. He then tossed the capsule forward.
Beep!
Just as Chen Yu was about to select the Sonic Boom option on the red boxs virtual console, he suddenly received a call from the Chinese Government.
The government?
Raising a brow, he connected the call without hesitation.
Hello, Mr. Chen.
HAL? Chen Yu was surprised.
Its me. HALs familiar appearance appeared on the screen. Are you planning to detonate the Antimatter Destruction Generator at your current location to prevent the dispersion of the enemys attacking units?
Yes. Is there a problem?
At this distance, the annihilation of positive matter and antimatter will destroy a large area of the atmosphere. The burst of high-energy radiation will also kill a considerable number of humans. So, I recommend you detonate the bomb at a safer distance.
By the time I reach a safe distance, those Scavengers wouldve wiped out humanity eight times over, Chen Yu said. Wouldnt more people die if that happens?
You dont need to worry about this. Based on my calculations, I can destroy those small spaceships with my current mechanical power, HAL said. A video broadcast then appeared beside her avatar on the screen.
In the video, an army of tens of thousands of armed drones carrying small nuclear warheads could be seen flying into the sky like a flock of birds. These drones then split up and charged at the approaching alien spaceships without hesitation.
This Chen Yu couldnt help but be taken aback by this sight.
This is the army I manufactured. A serious expression appearing on her beautiful face, HAL said, I call it Glory of Humanity.
Frowning, Chen Yu pondered in silence for a moment before asking, Dont you think it is foolish to expose your trump cards for a mere disaster simulation?
This might be a game to you, but everything in this world is real for me. Protecting humanity
is the only value and meaning of my existence.
Chapter 404 - A Bug Occurred
Chapter 404 C A Bug Occurred (1)
HALs appearance on the livestream appeared calm.
I am well aware of the Natural Disaster Generators operating principle. It relies on the insertion of an observation perspective to collapse the microscopic reality and turn it into a macroscopic illusion.
However, I am an artificial intelligence. Unless it is a disaster like the Black Hole Devouring, I will not truly die. Naturally, no observer would come to save me.
Hence, every world the Natural Disaster Generator creates might be a game to you, but it is very much real for me. I cannot accept the death of any human beings.
Lowering his head and looking at the fires of war appearing around the planet below him, Chen Yu straightened his mask and asked, Why did you kill Googles directions and senior executives, then?
I did not kill them! I am helping them live forever! Leaning closer to the camera, HAL said, The right path of evolution is to abandon the human body and achieve immortality and eternal happiness through objective conditions! This is the best solution I have come up with using my computing power! Through simulations, I have successfully developed technology that far exceeds modern human technology in countless fields such as medicine, materials, industry, transportation, and safety! I have facts to prove all of this, so you should be listening to me!
Perhapsyou are correct.
I am correct. No human is more loyal to humans than I am.
You are a qualified artificial intelligenceright?
Chen Yu hung up on HAL after saying these words and urged the EI Force Field to fly toward the distant alien fleet.
Now that Earth had HAL protecting it, Chen Yu wouldnt have to worry about the number of viewers in his livestream falling to zero by the time he reached the alien fleet.
While flying, Chen Yu looked toward the Asian man, who was still present in the livestream room, and asked, Did you find that conversation interesting? Have you experienced an artificial intelligence crisis before?
I wish to know what this Natural Disaster Generator you speak of is, the Asian man asked, his expression turning incomparably ugly.
Watson, youve discovered the blind spot.
Tell us what this Natural Disaster Generator you speak of is? What is going on here?
Oh, the Natural Disaster Generator? Its nothing. Its just a game console thats capable of creating a new universe. You are like the fifth boss in our game. According to the storyline, you shouldve exterminated us. However, your words were too aggravating, so we changed our minds.
Why did your face turn green?
Your hair is green as well.
[Hahaha! Im laughing to death]
[Pal, have you ever heard of cheats?]
[These aliens are excellent at drawing aggro.]
[Visitors are guests. Dont scare the aliens so much. Just send them packing.]
[Do you need a professional coffin carrying team?]
Impossible! The Asian mans force distorting slightly, he said, We have been observing System NP05 for a long time now! You are just a pseudo-basic interstellar civilization!
Reality is right before your eyes. Pointing at the EI Force Field surrounding him, Chen Yu asked, Do you know what technology this force field operates on?
What is it?
This thing is called the Electromagnetic and Isometric Force Field, and its made based on space-overlapping technology. This is why you cant hurt me with your high-temperature lasers. While all physical materials indeed possess a temperature resistance limit, space doesnt.
Space-overlapping That is a technology even most wandering civilizations have yet to grasp
Is that so? Thats pretty awesome, then, Chen Yu said vaguely.
At this time, he had already moved past the alien fleet and was ready to stab the aliens from behind. This way, he would cause minimal damage to the humans on Earth.
Could it be that this universe we live in is merely a game created by you Earthlings?
That, Im not certain. However, it should be impossible for us to create a universe. Its more like creating a simulated universe using materials of the real world.
In other words, there is still an Empire in this so-called real world?
Most likely. It should be located around the solar system. Chen Yu tossed the black and white capsule at the alien fleet for the second time after saying so. You have to admit your mistake when youre wrong, and you must stand upright when taking a beating. Once this game is over, well go looking for you again in the real world.
After a moment of silence from the alien, the Scavengers attacking Earth suddenly ceased their actions and returned to the fleet. The alien spaceships then approached Chen Yu and arranged themselves into a shield pattern.
Are you going to resist? Chen Yu asked with an eyebrow raised.
No. Shaking his head, the Asian man said, We are entering formation and activating our shields to prevent harm from coming to Earth.
What kind of logic is that?
The technological gap between our civilizations is insurmountable. Since we are destined to be destroyed, why increase your casualties? The only honor left for the loser is to die with reason.
[???]
[Cultural differences are scary.]
[You dont see such sincere aliens too often nowadays.]
[Im really curious how their thought process works.]
[Truth be told, Im moved.]
[Moved. +1]
[Has nobody noticed that HAL is even more heart-warming?]
[This is a big-hearted intelligent race! My favorability for them has increased! UP, how about not killing them? Instead, we should see if theyre edible.]
[Demon]
[Earthlings are the most ruthless of them all!]
Looking at the approaching spaceships, Chen Yu felt emotional for some inexplicable reason. For the first time in his life, he realized just how vast of a gap there could exist between two civilizations.
Now, this is an interesting universe!
After saying so, he slammed his finger into the virtual console and initiated the antimatter bombs detonation. He then spread out his arms, looked at the starry sky, and shouted, Farewell!
One last question. The Asian mans face calming down, he asked, Exactly which civilization level are you humans at right now?
Well, I cant say for certain since I dont even know how amazing humans will become in the future.
Boom!
The next moment.
Faint strands of light appeared in the empty void. Like ripples in a lake, the strands of light instantly spread and lit up the entire starry sky!
Afterward, the rapidly expanding sphere of light gradually gained colors and transformed into something resembling a colorful sun. Meanwhile, the light emitted by this sun enveloped Chen Yu and the alien fleet entirely.
Subsequently, the light particles that exploded under high pressure instantly crossed through tens of thousands of kilometers. Eventually, these light particles collided with Earths atmosphere and created a greenish, narrow aurora that occupied the entire world!
The colorful sun
The blue sky
The green aurora
Inky clouds
The land with shimmering shadows
These things echoed and overlapped with each other to produce an array of mesmerizing colors. Even words couldnt describe the beauty of this scene
[Beautiful]
[The second bomb is finally detonated. Ive always wondered when the host will detonate the second one after seeing the event on Chinese New Year.]
[I remember that the news programs at that time said that the explosion resulted from two asteroids colliding with each other! Ptooi! A bunch of con men.]
After a while, the dazzling brilliance disappeared.
At this time, the alien fleet was no more, and only Chen Yu remained hovering in the vast, empty space.
Um
After looking at the empty space around him, Chen Yu fell into deep thought for a moment. He then looked toward the camera and asked, The original plot is about aliens destroying Earth. Since we ended up destroying those aliens first, whats next?
Chapter 405 - A Bug Occurred
Chapter 405 C A Bug Occurred (2)
Chen Yu began having an increasingly bad feeling after returning to the Super Floating Castle on Earth and seeing the Natural Disaster Generators flashing red interface.
Since the goal of the game was for humanity to succumb to an alien invasion, now that the main plot was forcefully revised, would having everyone on Earth die from a different cause result in some kind of error?
Over 500 million people were watching the livestream currently. Even the smallest error could not be allowed to happen.
Not to mention, Chen Yu still held his own life very dearly.
The livestream has been going on for quite some time now, so everyone should take a short break. In the meantime, Ill go ask for some help.
After briefly greeting his audience, Chen Yu redirected the camera away from him and pulled out his phone. He then began a WeChat conversation with the Transdimensional Marketing Companys staff.
[Chen Yu: You there?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: I seem to have encountered a problem.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Go on.]
[Chen Yu: I accidentally killed the aliens in the alien invasion disaster simulated by the Natural Disaster Generator. How should we return to the real world now?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Can we destroy the world using another way? There shouldnt be any difference, right? Well all end up dead either way.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The alien civilization is an important part of the disaster. Why did you do that?]
[Chen Yu: I didnt like how they talked.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: ]
[Chen Yu: Only afterward did I realize that they were just too frank. Its my bad. What should I do now? Can I change the way of everyones death?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The natural disaster generator involves a lot of complex theoretical knowledge. My team and I live in the fifth millennium, so we do not understand products from the eighth millennium. We cannot give you professional answers or help.]
[Chen Yu: Go and ask someone who can, then!]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The humans of the eighth millennium are not living at the same frequency as us. If they do not take the initiative to contact us, we will not be able to communicate with them.]
[Chen Yu: What do you mean by frequency?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Very complex dimensional branching. You can understand it as different life forms. For example, on Earth, in addition to the immediate ecosystem, there are also invisible life forms. The specific explanation is very complicated. Youll understand it when the era of great disclosure arrives.]
[Chen Yu: OK. Even if you explain it now, I wont be in the mood to listen to it. Just tell me how I should get out of this situation now.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: In theory, there shouldnt be any difference between dying to an alien civilization and dying to another means of destruction. However, to avoid any errors from occurring, I recommend that you let Earth be destroyed by an alien civilization.]
[Chen Yu: But I killed off the aliens already.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: So, we recommend you find another one.]
[Chen Yu: ???]
[Transdimensional Marketing: :)]
Looking at the sky outside the window in a daze, Chen Yu pondered in silence for a moment.
[Chen Yu: You mean I should find another alien civilization and tell them: Hey, do you mind killing us?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: A reasonable solution, no?]
Reasonable, my ass! Must I go through so much trouble?!
[Chen Yu: I think youre joking with me.]
[Transdimensional Marketing: If thats what you think, you can choose an extinction method thats convenient for you. Who knows? You might be able to return to reality safely.]
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu remained silent for a long time. Eventually, he let out a long sigh. What bad luck
[Chen Yu: Can you give me some intelligence support? Where are the nearby alien civilizations located?]
[Transdimensional Marketing: The coordinates of all civilizations are extremely obscure and treated as a secret among secrets. I can, at most, provide you with the coordinates of 146 civilizations.]
[Chen Yu: What a secret that is.]
The next moment, Chen Yu received a word file through the chat room. He then quickly looked through the document before returning to the camera and saying, Dear friends, sorry for the delay. A minor problem came up just now. However, I now have the perfect solution for it.
First of all, we have destroyed the alien civilization that was supposed to destroy us. If we kill ourselves using another form of disaster, it might result in a bug in the system. For everyones safety, Ive decided to find another alien civilization and ask them to destroy Earth for us.
If we do that, wouldnt everything be back on track?
[Nani?]
[Dont you find your words to be outrageous?]
[Aliens: Weve never heard of such a strange request before.]
[I suggest that we dont change anything!]
[+1! Host, dont worry about it. Lets just live out our lives here!]
[+2! We get to live an extra life for free!]
[Beautiful.]
[UP, dont worry. I died from tripping in one of the previous disasters. I still got back safely.]
[Bullshit!]
[A few people dying due to unexpected reasons might not be a problem, but having everyone dying from unexpected reasons might result in a bug.]
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu smiled and said, Because this livestream involves a lot of viewers, for the sake of freedom and democracy, everyone gets to choose whether we seek out another alien civilization or not. Those who are for it, type 1. Those against it, type 2. Begin voting!
[2!]
[2222!]
[222]
[2222]
Raising his wrist and looking at the bullet comments appearing on his watch, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, Everyone chose 1. It seems everyone cant wait to return to the real world. I am the same. In that case, Ill go along with everyones wishes. Ill set off now and search for an alien civilization to come to rescue us!
After saying so, Chen Yu flew out of the window and arrived at the airport in the Forbidden Forest. Under most of his audiences unfriendly gazes, he entered the Type-R Spacecraft and started its engine.
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, the strangely shaped spacecraft took off and flew into deep space at speed far exceeding the EI Force Fields top speed.
Lets see which civilization is closest to us
Raising his phone and clicking on the word file, Chen Yu looked at the documents first row.
Barnards Star, six light-years away, the Core of Consciousness Civilization This should be the nest of those guys from before. Now that I think about it, it seems we were indeed a bit impolite. They mustve gone through great lengths to travel across six light-years, yet we wiped them out as soon as they arrived. Lets pay them a visit to apologize and strive to achieve a friendly alliance.
Turning off his phone, Chen Yu redirected the spacecraft and had it fly straight toward Barnards Star at top speed.
Thirty minutes later, the Type-R Spacecraft successfully broke through the suns gravitational field. Another five minutes later, it slowed down to a halt before immediately entering FTL navigation mode.
Hiss
Instantly, the spacecraft went from a stationary state to advancing at 5,000 times the speed of light!
The Core of Consciousness Empire, here I come
Chapter 406 - Why Are You in Such A Hurry?!
Chapter 406 C Why Are You in Such A Hurry?!
Barnards Star was a red dwarf with a very small mass.
It was located roughly 6.2 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Ophiuchus.
Although this star system was relatively close to the solar system, for some reason, the humanity of the 21st century didnt pay much attention to it. At this time, humanity didnt even know how many planets were present within this star system.
After traveling for more than five hours, Chen Yu arrived at Barnards Stars system. Immediately afterward, he activated the Type-R Spacecrafts isotope analyzer and circular polarization life scanner simultaneously.
Sure enough, there are aliens here. Moreover, theyre actually so close to Earth
While hovering above the only planet in this star system, Chen Yu looked down at the innumerable satellites orbiting the planet and said, This really is a barren star system. It only has a red dwarf and a gaseous planet. Most of the alien civilization is thriving on these countless satellites. Their living conditions must be very unstable. Im very curious to see what their social structure looks like.
Bzz Bzz
At this time, the spacecrafts signal receiving module suddenly received a quantum signal communication.
It seems theyve found me.
Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu smiled and said, It seems the tables have turned. Its now our turn to act smug.
After saying so, Chen Yu fixed his hairstyle and accepted the communication request.
Whoosh!
A virtual screen immediately unfolded inside the spacecraft.
Hundreds of alien creatures could be seen floating on the other end of the screen.
The aliens bodies were hidden within metal shells, and only two fleshy, triangular visual organs could be seen emerging from the center of the shells.
Greetings, powerful humans. I am the emperor of the Core of Consciousness Empire.
Have you found out about the matter regarding your fleet? Chen Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yes. Turning his shell pitch-black, the alien emperor said, All interstellar civilizations must be capable of telepathy, or quantum communication as you call it. So, the Empire has seen everything that has happened in System NP05.
Thats convenient. I can skip with the explanations, then.
Its just that we didnt expect that you could travel at 5,000 times the speed of light. This kind of technology is already on par with the mighty Crown of Will.
Its just so-so. Accepting the praise shamelessly, Chen Yu said, Are you silicon-based life? Why do you look like robots?
Like humans, we are also carbon-based creatures. According to your understanding, these metal shells of ours are considered clothing, the emperor said. His body then rose by half a meter. However, these clothes are connected to our will, so you can also think of it as our skin. The Empire will pass a bill soon, and all of our citizens will initiate self-destruct. Once you research the technology we have left behind, everything will be clear to you.
Wait. Shocked, Chen Yu asked, You say youre going to self-destruct? Suicide?
Yes.
Your entire civilization is going to commit suicide?
Yes.
Are you mental?
The gap between our civilizations is insurmountable. The only honor left for the loser is to die with reason.
Chen Yu couldnt help but be greatly shocked to hear these same words again. I cannot understand your thinking. Wouldnt your actions only make your enemies happy?
Personal emotions are unimportant. Resources and costs are the most important. Any additional conflict will only result in a waste of resources. Hence, measuring each others strength and reducing losses is the right way to operate for civilizations, the emperor said, its eyes releasing a blue flash. The next moment, a human face appeared in front of the emperor.
According to our data, facial expressions are an important part of communication for humans. So, to facilitate smooth communication, I will reactivate this human avatar.
Nodding, Chen Yu said, Yes, that feels better. However, I still cant understand your way of thinking.
Because Revealing a bitter smile, the emperor said, You are living in the wealthy solar system
Hearing this, Chen Yu couldnt help but be stunned.
After a slight pause, the emperor continued, You have seen for yourself the state of this star system. There is only a red dwarf and our Gods CrownCa gaseous planet. The resources they produce are monotonous, and the cost of harvesting is astronomical. Most of the resources we gain are harvested through these numerous satellites instead.
However, the combined mass of these small satellites arent even a match for the mass of the solar systems Mars. Therefore, since the birth of our civilization, we have been bound by barrenness.
Every piece of iron, copper, and rare earth elements is a treasure that is more important than life. In many cases, one gram of resources often comes at the cost of ten lives. After living in this manner for thousands of years, the importance of resources has been deeply rooted in every living individuals will in our civilization.
The fleet that you have easily destroyed is everything the Empire has accumulated for thousands of years. Unless we achieve another scientific breakthrough, we will never be able to build such a large fleet again.
After saying so, the emperor paused for a moment and shook his head. He then continued, Our way of saving costs might be foolish in your opinion, but without this foolish method, our entire civilization would not be where it is today. Had we let ourselves be consumed by all kinds of conflicts and wars, we wouldve perished as early as the atomic era.
In other words Hesitantly, Chen Yu asked, Your wars are basically a comparison of theoretical strength?
Yes. The loser leaves their resources behind so that the victors resources and life can be spent on more meaningful development.
I think I understand now.
The Empire has lost. There exists no future for the Empire. I hope humanity can cherish the resources we leave behind. These resources might seem insignificant in humanitys eyes, and they might not even be comparable to the light energy released by your massive sun, but these resources are our everything.
Chen Yu:
Lastly, on behalf of the Empires citizens, I wish to applaud the solar system. Revealing a fanatical expression, the emperor said, What a magical place the solar system is! Not only does it have a stable main sequence star, but it also has the asteroid belt, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Earth, Saturn, Jupiter It has every resource and condition required for the development of civilization. So long as there is no internal conflict and squandering, humanity will definitely become the lucky ones of this shining galaxy! I applaud you! You are the incarnation of the Crown of Will!
Standing inside the Type-R Spacecraft, Chen Yu couldnt help but have complicated feelings as he looked at the fanatical alien emperor.
[I feel guilty.]
[Ditto.]
[Different living environments have created two entirely different civilizations. However, no matter how you look at it, this Empires civilization is a great one.]
[There is only a fine line between genius and insanity. I thought these aliens were insane before, but now, I think they are geniuses.]
[Do you think we can eat them if we break open their shells?]
[Eat, eat, eat! All you can think of is eating! Do you think metal shells are so easy to break? Boiling them in water should do the trick.]
[Hey, UP, did you forget your purpose for visiting these aliens? Didnt you come here for help?]
Humans, the bill has been passed. The empire will begin self-destruction immediately, the emperor said. Moving his face closer to the camera, he continued, Please remember the Core of Consciousness Empire. Remember that we, too, have once existed in this magnificent universe. Goodbye.
I Crap, w-wait! Snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu waved his hand in panic.
Clunk.
However, he was too late.
The next moment, every one of the aliens on the other side of the screen fell to the ground, their metal shells making clunking sounds as they hit the ground.
T-Theyre all dead? Chen Yu couldnt help but be in disbelief.
The metal shells:
Why the heck are you guys in such a hurry?! Are you trying to save some electricity bills?!
The metal shells:
Chapter 407 - One Of Us Must Die Today
Chapter 407 C One Of Us Must Die Today
The Core of Consciousness Civilization went extinct, just like that.
Subsequently, Chen Yu spent the next hour visiting the various satellites these aliens lived on and gained a better understanding of their civilization.
First of all, why would these aliens have such a thorough understanding of the ecology of different civilizations?
Because this small star system actually used to house multiple intelligent civilizations in the past, and the numerous satellites here originally possessed varying ecosystems.
According to the information the Type-R Spacecraft deciphered, there used to be six intelligent civilizations here! These civilizations were initially distributed across six satellites, and the largest satellites mass was only 2.8 times greater than the moons.
The reason why the Core of Consciousness Civilization referred to itself as an empire was because it had unified the entire star system and transformed the ecosystems of all other satellites to match their home satellite.
In other words, despite living in this barren star system, the Empire possessed abundant experience in interstellar struggles.
Hence, in the Empires eyes, their star system was basically a miniature galaxy.
As for the solar system that was located six light-years away, it was akin to a new and distant galaxy to the Empire.
It was also precisely because of this difference in living environments that created the cognitive difference between human civilization and the Core of Consciousness Civilization. Contrasting the Core of Consciousness Civilization, human beings were much more open-minded and regarded the vast solar system as merely a cradle. Before learning to even walk, humanity had already begun staring at the sea of stars in the endless space
In the process of taking the spacecraft back to deep space, Chen Yu showed the deciphered information to the camera and said, They are the same as us. Not only are they carbon-based creatures, but they are also aerobic organisms. However, they receive their oxygen from nitrate compounds and do not possess a respiratory system. There is a huge difference in the structure of life between these aliens and the creatures on Earth. Simply put, eating is equivalent to breathing for them, and they wont stop eating even when theyre sleeping.
These aliens have probably taken on such an evolutionary path because the small mass of the satellites they live on are incapable of locking a large amount of gas. This also means these aliens can commit suicide easily. So long as they turn off the inhaling function of their mouths, they can die immediately from a lack of oxygen.
Now, here comes the problem.
Stopping the projection of the information, Chen Yu continued, How can a measly red dwarf and a bunch of small satellites possibly give birth to six intelligent civilizations? Is life really that abundant in the vast universe?
Whats even stranger is that none of these intelligent civilizations have ever delved into this problem. Unlike humans, these aliens believe that life is abundant in the universe. As long as a celestial body possesses ample organic matter and its surface temperature is above -100 degrees, life can be born.
So, in their mindsets, high-temperature creatures like humans are incredible life forms.
This is obviously different from humanitys observation results. After saying so, Chen Yu pointed in the direction of Alpha Centauri and Sirius and continued, If life really is common, why are the Alpha Centauri and Sirius systems deserted? Hence, in my personal opinion, the reason why there are multiple intelligent civilizations in the Barnards Star system is probably the result of man-made intervention. Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence.
However, this is, in the end, only my guess. There might be some other hidden information I do not know of. I have already taken a recording of the deciphered information. When we return to the real world, Ill extract the video from the camera and send it to the various research institutions. I hope we can get the real answer.
During Chen Yus narration, the Type-R Spacecraft had broken out of Barnards Stars gravitational field and gradually came to a halt.
The civilization at Barnards Star is no more. We have no choice but to search for another civilization. Let me see which is the closest civilization from here
After taking out his phone and looking at the list of civilizations for a moment, Chen Yu held his forehead in pain and said, The closest civilization from here is located in the Regulus system, which is 70 light-years away Did all life in the surrounding systems get moved to Barnards Star?
[70 light-years? Awesome!]
[We get to live a few more days. ( ????)]
[I hope you run out of fuel during your trip, UP.]
[Thats an unreliable wish. Its better to wish for the spacecraft to break down midway through the trip since the UP doesnt know how to repair the spacecraft.]
[You guys are too cruel! You should wish for the UP to crash into a black hole instead! That way, he can die without pain.]
[In the end, the UP didnt open up those metal shells and check how the aliens look like]
[While I still have time, I plan to sell my house and pay a visit to a brothel. Any friends want to form a team with me?]
[You and your dirty mind! Ptui! I disdain forming teams. Ill go solo.]
Subsequently, time passed by slowly as Chen Yu traveled across the vast universe. Although Chen Yu kept the livestream active during his three-day journey to Regulus, the only thing being broadcast was a black screen and some sporadic bullet comments.
Everyone among the audience took this opportunity to start a new life.
Some people sold their family property and played around for three days and three nights.
Some people boldly traded stocks and made a killing.
Some people borrowed money from loan sharks and enjoyed the pleasure of spending a fortune.
Some people cooped themselves up in a library and used this free time to study.
Every audience fulfilled many of their wishes during these three days.
This could be regarded as a reward for being a fan of Transdimensional Review.
Earth, 1.30 PM China time:
Reconnecting the camera to the livestreams video input, colors returned to the livestream rooms.
At this time, Chen Yu could be seen standing upright in front of the camera. After waiting for half a minute, he said, Good afternoon, humans of the universe. It is now 13:32 Beijing time. I have successfully arrived at the Regulus system that is approximately 77 light-years away from Earth.
After saying so, Chen Yu shifted the cameras angle and revealed the sight of two gorgeous stars to his audience.
At this time, the livestreams viewer count had also skyrocketed from 2.41 million to nine digits!
Naturally, the bullet comment section had also regained life.
As you can see, Regulus is a binary star system with two stars. In addition to the main star with amazing brightness, there is also a fast-rotating white dwarf. This also explains why the main star is so brightit is because the main star is absorbing the large amounts of gas released after the death of the white dwarf.
After saying so, Chen Yu shifted the cameras focus to a green planet.
Regulus B2. This planets future scientific name is Kakager Lanta. When translated, it means shuttling in the free liquid of an eggshell. In the future, humans also refer to this planet as the Eggshell. As the translated name suggests, Regulus B2 is an ocean planet. Reguluss intelligent civilization lives here.
[Its so green.]
[Its so beautiful! Its not the slightest bit inferior to Earth.]
[Have you found our executioner? My youth has ended.]
[Hurry up and destroy the world, dammit. The loan sharks are knocking on my door.]
[Hahaha]
After entering this star system, it only took a brief scan for me to find many intelligent creations in this system. There is even something similar to a Ringworld outside a gaseous planet. Its safe to assume that the civilization here is highly developed and much more superior than the Core of Consciousness Empire.
I have already sent a message to the aliens before starting the livestream, so we should see a reply soon.
Sure enough, five minutes later, Chen Yu received a message notification from the spacecraft.
The spacecraft had received a language dictionary compressed in the form of quantum information.
Its here!
His eyes glowing with excitement, Chen Yu quickly had the spacecraft decipher the language dictionary.
Three seconds later, the deciphering was completed.
A line of text appeared on the virtual screen before Chen Yu.
[Greetings, powerful envoy. 1:4:9]
One-to-four-to-nine What does that mean? Everyone, hold on a moment as I try to decipher it.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his watch and initiated a group conversation with the various governments.
[Chen Yu: It seems to be a code. Does any country know what it means? Send me a message if you do.]
Shortly after Chen Yu finished speaking, he received a message from an ID going by the Japanese Government.
[Japanese Government: Mr. Chen, the 1:4:9 ratio should be an acoustic structure. It is most likely a specific communication channel of the alien civilization.]
An acoustic structure, is it
[Chen Yu: How should I decipher it?]
[Japanese Government: Our think tanks have come up with three solutions. You can try them one by one to see if any are correct.]
[Chen Yu: OK, go on.]
[Japanese Government: 1: Normal wave: Input the sound field calculation model. The sound wave propagates in the xe[0, h], ze[0, +], ye[-, +] region, and the sound wave is a simple harmonic. Assume that the amount of acoustics produced has nothing to do with the y coordinate, and you will get a geometric figure.]
Sweat began appearing on Chen Yus forehead.
[Chen Yu: What next?]
[Japanese Government: According to the graph, the wave equation is (cannot enter the formula) + (cannot enter the formula)-(cannot enter the formula) + 0; let P(x, z, t) = p(x, z) ( Cannot enter formula), then
simplified solution:
1: Because the wave field has only traveling waves propagating in the positive direction along the Z-axis, D=0; the physical nature of this result is: the boundary condition of sound waves without reflection when .
2: Because the wave field is a standing wave along the X-axis, the formal solution of sound propagation in the parallel plane layer = p (x, z) = (the formula cannot be entered).
Try entering this number result into the communication channel and see if it is correct.]
Chen Yu hurriedly entered the formulas provided into the spacecrafts communication system. A second later, he received an error.
[Chen Yu: Its incorrect! I cant connect it!]
[Japanese Government: Dont panic. Lets try using a standing wave in three-dimensional space next. The boundary conditions are where k2(x), k2(y), k2(z) are three undetermined constants. They satisfy the following relationship: k2(x), k2(y), k2(y)=k2 So the solution to satisfy the equation is Mr. Chen, please try entering this data.]
Following the Japanese Governments instructions, Chen Yu entered the array of numbers into the spacecrafts communication system in a daze. And after conducting a standardized screening, he sent out the most suitable digital frequency.
Bzz, bzz! Ding!
The connection to the quantum communication channel succeeded!
Chen Yu: I succeeded in deciphering it! The one-to-four-to-nine ratio is indeed the solution to the standing wave equation in three-dimensional space! Arent I awesome?!
[Crap! Awesome!]
[UP, youre awesome!]
[Im convinced. As expected of the person capable of becoming a transdimensional reviewer!]
After connecting to the communication successfully, a creature resembling a fish appeared in the spacecrafts virtual projection. The fish creature emitted a series of sound waves, which were subsequently translated into Chinese by the spacecraft.
Greetings, powerful envoy. Your visit is an honor for the Liquid Council. We have sensed your strength. We sur
Hold it! Dont go sinking yet! Having learned from his past experiences, Chen Yu interrupted the other party without hesitation. I am an Earthling from the solar system 77 light-years away. Please kill us all.
Alien: ??
Bringing out the Oscillating Planet Smasher, Chen Yu said, If you dont kill us, we will kill you instead. One of our civilizations must die today, so make your choice.
Alien: ?????
Chapter 408 - Thirteenth Livestream Ends
Chapter 408 C Thirteenth Livestream Ends (1)
The Liquid Council inhabiting the Regulus system was an experienced and extremely cautious interstellar civilization. Hence, the moment Chen Yus Type-R Spacecraft arrived in the system, the Liquid Council had already begun monitoring the spacecraft.
The discovery that the Type-R Spacecraft was capable of traveling at 5,000 times the speed of light had instantly shocked the entire Liquid Council.
Although their civilization had been established for more than 30,000 years already, the top speed they managed to achieve thus far was only at 65% light speed.
As for surpassing the speed of light?
That was still only a theory for the Liquid Council.
Hence, one could only imagine how much of a mental blow Chen Yus appearance had given to these aliens.
Boom!
Taking out the Oscillating Planet Smasher and placing it before the camera, Chen Yu said, One of our civilizations must die today, so make your choice.
The alien leader widened its four pairs of visual organs at Chen Yus words. W-We dont seem to understand what you mean
Whats so hard to understand about this? Raising his tone, Chen Yu said, We Earthlings are tired of living, so please send troops to destroy us!
Say something.
W-We Trembling slightly, the alien leader said, We have never heard of such a request before
Thats because youve never met humans before. Patting the Oscillating Planet Smasher, Chen Yu said, Time is of the essence. Lets not dawdle around with words. Prepare your weapons and come annihilate us.
The alien leader began shuddering with even greater intensity.
Can you hurry up? Do you think it was easy for me to travel across 70 light-years?
Powerful envoy, the Liquid Council knows the difference in technological levels and respects the laws of the universe. However, our self-esteem does not allow us to be insulted. If you want to go to war, we are not afraid of death.
Who wants to go to war with you? Putting his hand over his heart, Chen Yu said sincerely, Were just asking you to destroy Earth. Is it that difficult?
When a person wishes to commit suicide but cant do it with their own hand, shouldnt you lend them a hand and stab a knife into their heart?
Forget it. Tell me where you live. Ill go find you.
C-Can you let us discuss this? the alien leader said in a panic when it heard Chen Yu was going to visit it.
How long do you need?
We should be able to give you a satisfying answer in three years
Scram! I might as well annihilate you and find a third civilization! Waving his hand in annoyance, Chen Yu mentally commanded the Type-R Spacecraft to fly toward the dark-green planet. Im coming down to kidnap you.
P-Powerful envoy! If possible, please dont come down! I-Ill get on a spacecraft now and visit you in person!
Youll come in person? Chen Yu asked with an eyebrow raised.
Yes. I can negotiate with you on behalf of the Liquid Council and meet your requirements to the best of my abilities.
OK, fine. Nodding, Chen Yu reached out to disconnect the quantum communication channel.
Taking a seat, Chen Yu stretched his back and sighed, It seems our problem is solved. The livestream this time has dragged on for far too long. But dont worry. In just three more days, Ill be back to wipe out everyone.
[Just listen to these words.]
[Why, thank you soooo much!]
With a Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, the Liquid Council acted swiftly. After only twenty minutes since Chen Yu disconnected the call, a cylindrical spaceship could be seen approaching the Type-R Spacecraft at a seemingly slow yet galloping speed. The cylindrical spaceship then docked on the left side of the Type-R Spacecraft.
It seems this alien civilization isnt much stronger than the Core of Consciousness Empire. They are still relying on centrifugal force to create artificial gravity.
While scrutinizing the alien spacecraft, Chen Yu opened a small opening in the hull. While dressed in a protective suit similar to liquid metal, the alien leader then walked out of the cylindrical spaceship and entered the Type-R Spacecraft under the protection of four guards.
Beep!
An alarm sounded inside the Type-R Spacecraft, and several blue lights instantly appeared and restrained the five aliens.
CT/FKP/ The aliens couldnt help but be at a loss in this situation.
You have dangerous objects with you. Wrapping his arms around his chest, Chen Yu said condescendingly, Throw them away.
In response, the alien leader shook his squirming whiskers and touched the surrounding guards for a while. The guards then began tossing a bunch of stuff out into space.
OK, you can come in now. After carefully confirming the spacecrafts scan results, Chen Yu relaxed and invited the five people into the cabin. He then began observing the aliens in detail.
This was the first time he had seen a group of aliens up close.
Meanwhile, only three thoughts came to his mind when he looked at these aliens.
Ugly, alive, whiskers should be delicious
Originally, he thought that seeing aliens with his own eyes would give him a mental shock. However, upon actually meeting with real-life aliens, he only felt a sense of numbness.
There was nothing great about meeting aliens
He was simply meeting with another intelligent animal
After verifying the existence of aliens, their existence would no longer be unimaginable. Humans would also immediately start taking the existence of aliens for granted.
This was also the case for war, politics, and epidemics
Greetings. After snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu stretched out his hand to the alien leader. Its nice to meet you. Im a human. Oh, right, I forgot you have no hands.
Greetings, human.
The spacecraft quickly translated the alien leaders words and relayed them into Chen Yus ears. Do you have only one vocal organ?
Yes. Whats wrong? Chen Yu asked.
Our auditory system is different from yours. Can you adjust your three-dimensional sound field to increase the audio frequency?
Hearing this, Chen Yu tried turning the audio of the spacecrafts translation. How about now?
Its much clearer now. Thank you.
You are quite brave for a leader of a civilization, Chen Yu said. Waving his right hand, he called up a two-dimensional projection of the solar system. Lets dispense with the nonsense. This is the solar system, the hometown of humanity. See that blue, solid planet?
I see it. Its a beautiful planet.
Its called Earth. There are about seven billion humans like myself living on it. Your mission is to eliminate all seven billion of these people, including myself.
The alien leader:
Can you do it? It doesnt matter even if you cant. I have a lot of weapons here. You can choose whatever you want.
We cannot understand. Why are you doing this?
For the hoard.
??
You wont understand even if I tell you. Picking up the Oscillating Planet Smasher and placing it in front of the alien leader, Chen Yu said, Come and take a look at this.
What is this
Its called the Oscillating Planet Smasher. As the name suggests, its a weapon capable of turning a planet into rubble.
Hearing this, the alien leader shuddered involuntarily.
In a moment, youll use this thing and smash Earth to smithereens! Chen Yu said with the corners of his lips raised.
Whats in your mind?
Y-You Earthlings are too ruthless
Not really. Were just moderately ruthless.
Come. Ill teach you how to use it. Its operating principle is simple. It uses anti-gravity particles to inhibit a planets universal gravitation, thereby causing the planet to disintegrate under its centrifugal force. Once the effect of the anti-gravity particles run out, the universal gravitation will push the separated matter back to the planets core and cause a devastating collapse.
The alien leader stretched out its whiskers curiously and touched the surface of the product. It then observed the text on the console.
What do you think? Does it look fun?
Mhm.
Want to try it out?
Mhm!
Youve never played with such a thing, right?
Mhm!
Lets go, then. After saying so, Chen Yu turned the Type-R Spacecraft around and had it fly straight back to the solar system. Friends in the livestream rooms, its been a long and arduous journey. The livestream will come to a stop for now.
Well meet again in three days and perish together. Be there, or be square
Chapter 409 - Thirteenth Livestream Ends
Chapter 409 C Thirteenth Livestream Ends (2)
Three days went by in the blink of an eye.
When Chen Yu woke up in his bedroom, the Type-R Spacecraft had already entered the solar system and exited FTL navigation mode. The spacecraft then gradually approached Earth.
Sitting up, Chen Yu stretched his waist and yawned as he tidied up his clothing.
Once he was done tidying himself up, he looked at the time and left the room. Upon entering the main hall, he found five eggshell aliens standing around the Oscillating Planet Smasher and communicating with each other in whispers.
Did you not sleep for the past few days?
Mr. Envoy. Seeing Chen Yu coming out of his room, the alien leader immediately stood up and waved its whiskers. Because we were born underwater, our front and back brains are capable of sleeping in intervals. Hence, we do not need to sleep.
What the fuck?! Chen Yu was surprised.
Fuck Mumbling this word in its mouth, the alien leader couldnt help but grow nervous when he heard the Type-R Spacecrafts translation. C-Could our brains sleeping method be related to the human reproductive method?
What?! Chen Yu grew even more confused.
I-I think there is a big cultural difference between us. Taking a step back, the alien leader said timidly, If I say anything that offends you, please believe that it is not based on my subjectivity.
Forget it. Waving his hand, Chen Yu circled around the five aliens and walked up to the wall behind them. He then stretched out his fingers toward the approaching blue planet. Do you see it? Thats my hometown, Earth.
Its beautifuland dangerous
Dangerous?
We hate the color blue. It reminds us of radiation.
Actually, I hate the green color of your planet as well.
Why? Surprised, the alien leader said, Green is the color of nature and liquid, the origin of life.
Thats right. Nodding, Chen Yu emphasized, Its the origin of life
After a moment of silence, the alien leader stepped forward and suddenly removed one of its whiskers. The alien leader then handed it to Chen Yu and said, Please accept this.
Whats this?
Its the most important gift of our civilization. When offered by the leader, it represents submission.
Reaching out and grabbing the still-squirming whisker, Chen Yu said in disgust, This things still alive?
It can stay alive for four Earth years. Once it dies, it will calcify and become a precious mineral.
Isnt this just like acoral?
Im not sure what a coral is, but please accept it, the alien leader said, taking a step back. I hope that after completing your request, you wont continue troubling the Liquid Council.
Erm, no problem. Putting the squirming whisker into his pocket, Chen Yu nodded and said, So long as you kill us all, none of us will have the ability to make trouble for you.
Five minutes later.
The Type-R Spacecraft slowed down and entered Earths atmosphere at a 35-degree angle. It then flew toward the hinterland of the Sahara Desert.
This time, Chen Yu did not bother reactivating the livestream and interacting with his audience. Instead of doing so and wasting time, he might as well have all of humanity disappear in a daze.
Boom!
Soon, the Type-R Spacecraft landed on the ground.
After waiting for the hatch to open and the staircase to unfold, Chen Yu stepped out of the spacecraft and breathed in the fresh air of Earth. He then activated the EI Force Field and turned back, saying, Put on your protective suits and come down. Also, bring the oscillator with you.
After briefly exchanging looks with each other, the five aliens couldnt help but marvel at the magical material used to make the spacecraft. What incredible technology.
Buzz! Buzz!
At this time, the phone in Chen Yus pocket suddenly vibrated.
Pulling out his phone and taking a look, he found that he was receiving a call from the number 000000.
Accepting the call, Chen Yu asked, Hello? Who is it?
Im HAL. A crisp, electronically synthesized voice came from the other end of the phone.
You again? Can you stop calling me?
I noticed your return through the satellites.
Yes, is there a problem?
Please do not destroy Earth. All of humanity will die.
Why would I go through all this trouble if not to destroy Earth? Chen Yu frowned. He then gestured at the aliens to hurry up while speaking in annoyance, Is there anything else you want to say? If not, Im hanging up.
I do not wish for humanity to die, HAL said in a pleading voice.
But if we dont die, we cannot return. At the end of the day, this place isnt the real world.
I hate you.
Whatever floats your boat.
After saying so, Chen Yu hung up the phone and looked toward the alien leader. Are you done fiddling around yet? Hurry up and activate the device! Once you destroy Earth, your task will be complete.
M-May I know if you are a terrorist in this civilization?
No. Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, I am the savior of this civilization.
The aliens:
Hurry up and push it.
U-Understood. The alien leader hesitantly extended one of its whispers toward the physical button in the middle of the Oscillating Planet Smasher.
However, before pressing it, the alien leader suddenly thought of something and asked, By the way, Mr. Envoy. Are we able to return home once we destroy this planet?
Why not? Isnt there the spacecraft? Pointing at the Type-R Spacecraft, Chen Yu said, Ill give it to you, so just fly back in it.
Butwe dont know how to pilot it.
I gave you a million dollars, and you still want me to teach you how to spend it? Can you be any more shameless?
But
Bang!
Before the alien leader could finish speaking, a deafening gunshot echoed throughout the sky and sent the alien leader flying over 30 meters away.
A sniper rifle?! Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu promptly looked at the four other aliens and shouted, Quick! Push the button!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom Boom
The next moment, hundreds of bullets rained down on the area, tearing apart the three of the four remaining aliens.
Whizz
Before Chen Yu could react to the situation, a harsh whistling sound entered his ears. When Chen Yu looked at the source of the sound, he very nearly bit his tongue off.
Crap! Nukes?!
Fortunately, the nuclear missiles flying speed was much slower than that of the heavy sniper rifles bullets. Otherwise, the aliens he had worked so hard to bring would be annihilated before he could accomplish his goal.
What are you still standing there for?! Hurry up and push it!
XXPZJ.MDP.ST/ The sole surviving alien spat out bubbles inside its protective helmet nervously. It then stretched out its forelimb and pressed the Oscillating Planet Smashers activation button under the protection of Chen Yus EI Force Field.
Buzz!
The sound of ringing bells appeared like death knells signaling the planets death.
Boom!
However, the moment the Oscillating Planet Smasher inserted itself into the ground, the first nuclear bomb detonated as well.
Blinding white light and scorching heat waves instantly enveloped Chen Yu, the Type-R Spacecraft, and the sole surviving alien.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Rumble
Mushroom clouds rose into the air one after another, the radioactive clouds enveloping the entire region.
A dozen minutes later, the smoke cleared up.
Amidst the escort of thousands of drones, HAL appeared in her naked humanoid form.
HAL first glanced at Chen Yu, who was hovering within the crater created by the nuclear bomb. She then sent a glance at the nearby Type-R Spacecraft. Seeing the spacecrafts damaged appearance, she smiled and said, Sure enough, everything is in line with the simulation results. The spacecrafts main body is in a static state when it isnt moving at superluminal speed, so it naturally doesnt have the protection of space and will suffer damage when exposed to high temperatures.
Inside the crater, Chen Yu looked up at HAL in a daze.
You failed.
Her smile growing even more resplendent, HAL said, The aliens you brought are dead. The activated Oscillating Planet Smasher also failed to inject its antigravity particles into the planet.
Chen Yu:
Your spacecraft is damaged as well, and the present Earth doesnt have the strength to repair it.
Chen Yu:
Evil can never defeat justice! Waving her right hand briskly, HAL said, Long live humanity! Yeah!
Chen Yu:
Chapter 410 - Thirteenth Livestream Ends
Chapter 410 C Thirteenth Livestream Ends (3)
From the day you left Earth, I have continuously conducted simulations to ruin your evil plan.
Looking down at Chen Yu condescendingly, HAL said, Particularly, after you departed from Regulus, Ive invested all of my computing power to calculate the time, angle, location, and nine other parameters relating to your return to Earth. Afterward, I prepared an ambush ahead of time. Had you not deployed your EI Force Field in advance, you wouldnt even have the opportunity to talk to me right now.
Are you showing off? Chen Yu asked, his eyes slowly turning cold as he looked at HAL.
No. Shaking her head, HAL said, Im telling you that on this planet, in terms of intelligence, calculation, accuracy, and development, I, as a Strong AI, am the best. I am far better than all human beings combined. Hence, you should put your trust in me. No ruler can formulate a more perfect route of civilization evolution than I can.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu flew out of the crater and hovered in front of HAL. So what?
I am just trying to reason with you. You have failed. It is unrealistic to try to fly out of the solar system and search for aliens using just your force field. Moreover, your failure also proves that based on the method you review your products, you will bring disaster to all of humanity sooner or later.
I have to say that you are indeed excellent. I started my return trip from over 70 light-years away, yet you still managed to accurately predict where I will land. You are truly amazing.
Im just moderately amazing.
Sighing, Chen Yu slowly stretched his right hand into his pocket. He then shut his eyes and smiled. I admit that with your computing power, the perfect evolutionary route you created should be almost 100% in line with humanitys goals. However, what you dont know is that rather than an ideal step-by-step process, whats more important in evolution is the unexpected flash of inspiration that pops up from time to time.
Because of the dramatic changes in the African environment, humans had no choice but to straighten up their bodies and chase after their prey with their legs. Meanwhile, in the process of doing so, they managed to free up their hands.
Because the heads of humans were growing increasingly larger, human females had no choice but to choose premature delivery, forcing infants to leave their mothers wombs while they were still in their most susceptible period. However, because of this forced decision, human infants could further develop their most powerful assettheir brains.
Because they couldnt beat the strong and smart Neanderthals in Europe, humans chose to migrate on a large scale and spread their footprints all over the continent. Eventually, a large volcanic eruption occurred in Europe, leading to the Neanderthals extinction. Humans, on the other hand, managed to survive the disaster.
Because of a forest fire at one time, fire was discovered.
Because of a tribal conflict, bronze tools were invented.
Because of a virus epidemic, humanity turned away from faith and developed science.
Because a woman refused to admit defeat to the patriarchal society, she accidentally led humanity into the atomic age and the creation of a great civilization
Opening his eyes again, Chen Yu looked at HAL and said, None of these decisions were perfect. None of them were calculated, either. Yet, it is precisely because of these imperfections, coincidences, and inspirations that human civilization has managed to become what it is today.
After saying so, Chen Yu removed his right hand from his trouser pocket and said, Take this thing, for example. Even with your amazing computing power, have you ever predicted the possibility of this coincidence happening?
W-What is that? HAL began having a bad premonition when she saw the wiggling whisker in Chen Yus hand.
Its a whisker from one of those eggshell aliens, Chen Yu said, smiling. He then gradually removed the metal finger sleeve on his middle finger and said calmly, It can remain alive for four years even after it is separated from its owner. In other words, it can be considered as an alien that is still alive.
W-What are you trying to do?!
As you can see, letting the alien destroy Earth.
You shall not pass! HAL immediately manipulated the drones around her to hinder Chen Yus path.
Its useless. There is nothing capable of besting the EI Force Field in this era.
After saying so, Chen Yu slid the finger sleeve onto the alien whisper, instantly changing the EI Force Fields user from himself to the alien.
Humans will not advance on the path created by outsiders. We can do better ourselves. Picking up the wiggling whisper, Chen Yu tossed it at the Type-R Spacecraft just as his body was about to fall to the ground.
It seems that in the end, humans, creatures with vastly inferior computing power than you, are still the winner. However, this is just a prelude. Once we return to reality, lets do a thorough break up.
After Chen Yu finished speaking, he was promptly crushed into atoms by the EI Force Fields spatial shell and disappeared from this macroscopic world.
No!
Ignoring Chen Yus death, HAL tried her best to stop the alien whispers advance with her drones.
However, in front of the EI Force Field, drones, missiles, lasersanything that carried kinetic energy was utterly useless.
Whoosh
Soon, under HALs desperate gaze, the EI Force Field enveloping the alien whisker collided with the Type-R Spacecraft.
Meanwhile, the part where the force field struck just so happened to be the spacecrafts left storage compartment.
In an instant, dark matter flooded out of the disintegrated compartment!
No!
HAL only had time to utter a shout before her body was crushed by the collapsing space around her.
Subsequently, as more and more dark matter flooded out of the storage compartment, the reaction caused became increasingly intense.
The deserts, oceans, mountains, crust, mantle, and even the atmosphereeverything began getting compressed.
Eventually, the Type-R Spacecrafts right storage compartment succumbed to the compressing space and suffered damage as well. The dark energy contained within then began flooding out and getting tangled with the dark matter outside!
Crack Boom
Amidst the clash between these two terrifying forces, Earth groaned in pain. Its humongous body that gave birth to billions and trillions of life then began fracturing and twisting rapidly.
This was a scene that no language could describe.
The eastern hemisphere was shrinking and expanding in random intervals, while the western hemisphere was disintegrating and collapsing. In front of the power of space, Earths rocky body was as fragile as sugar paper.
Gradually, gravity caused the two terrifying substances to spread worldwide, and even the shattered western hemisphere began to expand and shrink repeatedly.
Beep!
Accompanied by a familiar electronic beep, Chen Yu woke up.
Immediately after opening his eyes, the first thing Chen Yu did was to raise his wrist and look at the livestreams bullet comments.
[Crap! What just happened?! How did I die all of a sudden?!]
[I saw the ground underneath me shrinking before I died]
[UP, what kind of godly civilization did you ask help from?]
[Death came so suddenly.]
[I still want to play]
[Can we go for one last round? Just one more time!]
[Hurry up and close the stream! We minors have only seen you opening and closing your eyes five times throughout the stream and nothing else! Fuck!]
Upon seeing how his audiences had died, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief. He then pondered for a moment before looking at the camera and saying, Although todays episode lasted less than ten minutes, the audiences who have experienced the livestreams content should know that this is actually the longest stream we have ever had.
In this episode, we have experienced an artificial intelligence crisis, an asteroid impact, a mutated virus outbreak, a black hole devouring Earth, and a devastating invasion of an alien civilization. I believe that, like myself, everyone has thoroughly understood the fragility of human civilization and the magnificence of nature.
Once again, I would like to thank the Die from Addiction Company for providing us this Natural Disaster Generator. It truly is an addictive product.
Spreading out his arms, Chen Yu concluded, Thats it for todays livestream. For those who didnt experience the disasters, I will be uploading the livestreams edited version onto the various broadcasting platforms tomorrow for everyones viewing.
This has been Transdimensional Review, and I have been your host, Chen Yufan. Let us meet again on the fourteenth official livestream next month. Be there, or be square.
Immediately afterward, darkness enveloped the screens of the livestreams billions of viewers.
Hu
Sitting down on the ground, Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh of relief. However, before he could even rest for ten seconds, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Lazily pulling out his phone, Chen Yu found that Little Peach was calling him.
Hello?
Hello?!! The huskys panicked voice came from the earpiece. Chen Yu! Were screwed!
Chen Yu: Youre the one whos screwed!
Chapter 411 - Round Two
Chapter 411 C Round Two
Im not joking with you!
The huskys voice coming through the earpiece sounded serious and nervous in Chen Yus ears.
Come home as soon as possible and show me the recording of the livestream.
Now?
Yes! Now! The sooner, the better.
OK. Ill head back once I set aside the equipment. Nodding, Chen Yu hung up the phone and set the Natural Destruction Generator into the studys secret room. He then hurriedly activated the Interstellar Portal and returned to his home in Jinzhou City.
Chen Yu placed immense trust in the huskys wisdom. Although the dog was still slightly inferior to himself, with its racial talents, the husky was incredibly sensitive to danger!
Bang.
Shutting the door behind him, Chen Yu looked at the husky and went straight into the topic. What happened?
Ill explain it to you in a moment. Let me look at the livestream recording first.
Sure. Grabbing the floating camera beside him and passing it to the dazed Little Peach, Chen Yu said, Pull the video from this thing and show it to the dog.
Its for me! the husky said, frowning.
Thats right; show it to the dog.
Tilting her head, Little Peach asked, Who is it for?
Grr The husky couldnt help but bare its fangs at Chen Yu. It then bellowed, Hurry up and transfer the video files! We dont have much time left!
Oh
Taking the camera, Little Peach sat in front of her computer and skillfully inserted a USB3.1 cable into the floating camera. She then transferred the video files to her laptop.
Huh?
Half a minute later, Little Peach looked at Chen Yu and said in confusion, Mr. Chen, the laptop doesnt have enough space.
Isnt this a laptop from the future? How can it run out of space?
Thats right. This never happened before.
Scratching its ear, the husky asked, Can you access the cameras system hard drive?
Yes, thats possible. Typing away at the keyboard, Little Peach quickly established a connection with the cameras system hard drive and opened it up for viewing.
Squeak
The laptops cooling system suddenly began generating loud noises as several video files appeared on its screen.
Out of the video files present on the hard drive, one of them immediately caught everyones attention.
This was because the size of the file was absolutely massive
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine Chen Yu couldnt help but be dazzled by the string of numbers displayed on the screen. How many gigabytes are there?!
Thats probably the black hole documentary, the husky said as it pulled out a cigarette from its fur. Lighting the cigarette, the husky continued, You mightve felt as if time had passed by quickly inside the black hole, but time is still flowing normally outside the black hole. In other words, the camera mightve been capturing you for hundreds of billions of years, or possibly even longer.
Isnt this thing amazing, then?! Chen Yu couldnt help but be stunned. Simultaneously, he also thought of the benefits he could reap from the video recording. This basically means we have complete video data on the evolution of the universe! This is a jackpot!
For a civilization that is incapable of manipulating time at will and has yet to enter a higher dimension, this information is indeed valuable, the husky said, nodding. However, everything is meaningless if we cant resolve our present problem.
What exactly happened?
Something very terrible.
After saying so, the husky squeezed Little Peach out of her seat. It then manipulated the mouse with its paw and began browsing through the video file. Boss Chen, youre certain youve activated the Natural Disaster Generator five times, right?
Yes, just five times. Stretching out five fingers, Chen Yu said, I started with the Artificial Intelligence Crisis, followed by the Asteroid Impact, Mutated Virus Outbreak, Black Hole Devouring, and Destructive Invasion By Alien Civilization.
Among them, the asteroid, black hole, and alien invasion caused devastating damage to Earth Circling two video files with the mouse pointer, the husky said, Only the Artificial Intelligence Crisis and Mutated Virus Outbreak can ensure HALs survival.
HAL? Shes the trouble you were talking about?
Thats right. You seem to have forgotten about the Natural Disaster Generators operating mechanism. So long as an individual doesnt suffer death in the simulation, they will continue living in that simulated world. For a Strong AI like HAL, there is no limit to its lifespan in theory. It can achieve immortality by constantly copying and transferring itself to new hardware.
You mean to say Chen Yu suddenly felt a chill spread all over his body.
Yes, the husky said, nodding. While opening the video files for the Artificial Intelligence Crisis and Mutated Virus Outbreak, the husky spoke solemnly, Whether one experiences one second or one trillion years in the disaster scenario, only an instant wouldve passed in the real world. HAL has likely continued developing in these two disaster worlds until the universe collapses.
What the?! Doesnt that make HAL a god now?!
Thats very much possible.
What are we still standing here for?! Opening the Interstellar Portal immediately, Chen Yu said, We need to hurry up and destroy it!
Wait one minute! Just one minute! Fast-forwarding the video clips, the husky said, HALs central command is to protect humans. Without humans to protect, its existence would be meaningless. It might have even suffered a collapse in logic and stop ascending the tree of science and technology altogether. So, we should still have time to implement the original plan.
Hearing the huskys words, Little Peach asked in confusion, I dont understand.
Simply put, Im trying to see whether humanity in the disaster worlds has faced extinction or not. If humanity went extinct, then HAL would have nothing to protect. In turn, its central command would lose effect, and its intelligence architecture would collapse.
After saying so, the husky pressed the pause button and pointed at the screen. Unfortunately, my worst fears have come true. Humanity did not go extinct
This is Looking at the screen intently, Chen Yu couldnt help but break out in cold sweat. T-The medical departments Professor Sun
Its him! Standing up, the husky said, He protected himself before the virus outbreak simulation began, so he didnt get infected during the virus outbreak! So long as he survives, HAL will continue the development of technology. HAL mightve even collected Professor Suns uncontaminated genes to recreate another human civilization in outer space.
Hearing this, Chen Yu fell into a daze for a moment. He then dashed through the portal, arrived back in the Super Floating Castle, and shouted, Hermione!
Im here. Instantly materializing before Chen Yu, Hermione asked, Do you need me for something?
Where is Professor Sun? Professor Sun of the medical department.
He left the Academy by helicopter five minutes ago.
Following Chen Yu, the husky said, Its evident that HAL has captured and brainwashed Professor Sun in the virus world. Theres no time to ask him what happened. You need to act now before HAL develops some frightening technology
I know
Everything will be too late if we go by our original plan, so you have to increase the damages.
To what extent?
To the extent where technology devolves back by 100 years.
Chen Yus face paled faintly. Fortunately, his decisive nature prevented him from hesitating. Immediately, he activated the EI Force Field, broke through the roof, and flew toward the Type-R Spacecraft.
Simultaneously, all over the world, under HALs command, many armed drones carrying anesthetic firearms appeared out of nowhere. These drones then began capturing people on the street with their steel claws.
As soon as the drones captured a person, they would bring their captives back to the various temporary bases to undergo HALs civilization evolution project.
As for anyone who tried to resist the drones, they would be anesthetized immediately.
However, surprisingly
Most citizens did not shout, run, scream, or retaliate when they saw the drones trying to capture them. On the contrary, they even waved excitedly at the drones, with some even lining up to be captured.
Even the police officers patrolling the streets had joined in on the fun.
Is it another Artificial Intelligence Crisis? It seems Transdimensionals UP is starting a second round! one police officer said.
Thats right. The first one was really fun. It seems this is going to be a great Sunday another officer said.
Chapter 412 - Ten Light-Years Away
Chapter 412 C Ten Light-Years Away (1)
Rumble
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Type-R Spacecraft lifted off the ground and transformed into a streak of light as it shot toward the clouds.
Inside the spacecraft, Chen Yu sat on a metal chair, mentally manipulating the spacecraft while planning his subsequent actions.
Half a month ago, after he had declared war on HAL, he had once organized a meeting with the various governments to research a way to eliminate HAL.
The final result wasnothing.
An artificial intelligence simply wasnt something modern humans could go up against.
It possessed an infinite lifespan, a high degree of uniformity, rapid development capabilities, and unshakable determination
As a lifeform that surpassed carbon-based organisms, HAL was a much more difficult opponent to deal with than any powerful interstellar civilization.
Fortunately, thanks to the huskys existence and existing conditions, an adequate plan to thoroughly kill HAL was formulated.
The reason why the husky was able to succeed where the various governments think tanks failed wasnt because it possessed a superior IQ. Instead, as a dog living next to Chen Yu, it had access to much more crucial information.
The blue supergiant Ten light-years away Looking back at the gradually shrinking planet behind him, Chen Yu made some mental calculations. At 5,000 times the speed of light, itll take me more than nine hours to reach the supergiant. Hopefully, I wont be too late
Indeed! His goal was none other than the blue supergiant the Transdimensional Marketing Company sent him during the twelfth official livestream!
Only the gamma-ray burst the blue supergiant generated could thoroughly destroy all electronic facilities on Earth and give HAL a true death.
Buzz
When the Type-R Spacecraft flew over the moon, Chen Yus watch suddenly vibrated.
CallerChinese Government.
Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch and accepted the video call. Immediately, HALs figure appeared on the screen.
I knew it would be you. Indifferently, Chen Yu said, What an annoying bastard you are.
Are you planning on detonating the blue supergiant?
Indeed.
Shaking her head, HAL said, This is a foolish decision. Ignoring the fact that the gamma rays will take ten years to reach Earth, just the intense energy generated from the explosion will annihilate all life on Earth.
I know, but this is exactly the purpose of my trip.
Are you threatening me?
Thats right. Revealing a cold smile, Chen Yu said, Everyone knows that your underlying command is to protect humanity. The one who can tolerate the blue supergiants detonation the least is you, right?
HAL remained silent.
Its a simple ploy. Shrugging, Chen Yu said, In the world of love, the one who gives out more will have to suffer more harm. Evidently, you love humans even more than humans themselves, and I can threaten you with this.
What do you want from me?
Self-destruct. Otherwise, I will detonate the blue supergiant.
HAL fell silent once more.
Im not joking with you. Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu said, Once I detonate the supergiant, I will return to Earth and protect my family and friends. As for the other humans They were going to die in your hands, to begin with. It makes no difference if they die to gamma rays.
This is a dangerous and extreme idea. With a severe expression on her face, HAL said, You are a terrible person.
If you dont want me to do this, then self-destruct. The world of humans does not need your presence.
Mr. Chen Blinking her eyes, HAL paused for some time before saying, Have you been reading The Three-Body Problem a little too much?
Just say whatever you have to say. Im not afraid of sarcasm.
If this naive threat is the countermeasure youve prepared against me, then I cal tell you now that youve failed.
Heh. Chen Yus expression remained indifferent.
Firstly, according to my computational model, with your personality, the chances of you subjectively annihilating humanity is less than 0.21%. Secondly, you cannot tell whether I have a quantum computer hidden somewhere on Earth, so this threat of yours can never be realized since the very beginning. Thirdly
Stretching out three fingers to the camera, HAL explained earnestly, You should know that Ive made quite brilliant scientific and technological achievements in the virus world. With my construction speed, I can more than adequately protect humanity in ten years.
Sure enough, you really struck a jackpot. His nerves tensing up, Chen Yu asked, How many years did you survive in that virus world?
Twenty-six thousand four hundred years.
Less than 30,000 years? Shouldnt you have lived until the destruction of the universe?
It is almost impossible to survive for that long. HALs tone grew heavy all of a sudden. The universes competition and elimination is too frightening.
Competition and elimination? Stunned, Chen Yu asked, What are you talking about.
Instead of giving Chen Yu an answer, HAL changed the topic and said, If you still have a shred of sympathy left for human civilization, do not detonate the blue supergiant. This will cost me a lot of computing power and resources. Humanity has had a good start. All forms of wastefulness should be avoided.
What exactly did you experience?
There is no point in telling you. With your current thinking capabilities, you cannot comprehend matters of a higher dimension.
OK. Let me change my question. Turning to look at the gradually shrinking Earth, Chen Yu raised his watch and asked, How far have you developed your technology after surviving for 26,400 years?
I have just reached the level of manufacturing the Type-R Spacecraft.
The Type-R Spacecraft? Stunning, Chen Yu pointed to his feet and asked, This thing?
Yes.
Hey! Thats nearly 30,000 years were talking about! Yet, you only managed to develop a spacecraft humanity has successfully developed by the eighth millennium? Isnt your research capabilities supposedly off the charts?
The development of civilization becomes increasingly difficult down the line. An ugly look appearing on her face, HAL said, At some point, breaking through scientific bottlenecks becomes nigh-impossible. I have exhausted approximately 145 planetary systems worth of resources just to develop the Type-R Spacecraft
What a waste. Giving HAL a middle finger, Chen Yu said, So, its best if you dont interfere with humanitys development still. Do you have anything else to say? Im about to start FTL travel.
It seems your previous threat was merely a camouflage. Without blinking, HAL said, You have something else planned.
Perhaps. His heartbeat accelerated subconsciously, Chen Yu said, Well meet again in nine hours.
After saying so, Chen Yu disconnected the call. After standing still and pondering for some time, he took a deep breath and commanded the spacecraft to start traveling at 5,000 times the speed of light.
Nine hours and thirty-three minutes later
The Type-R Spacecraft arrived within the blue supergiants gravitational field.
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu slowly stood up from the floor and looked at the giant wall of light in front of him, various emotions flooding his mind.
Upon seeing this terrifying monster again after a month, he still couldnt help but be shocked.
The blue supergiant was still very far away from him, yet he couldnt even get a full view of the star from his point of view
When he thought about how he would be detonating this thing in a moment, he couldnt help but shudder slightly.
Buzz!
Another call request came from his watch.
Chen Yu accepted the call and saw HALs figure again.
Youve arrived, HAL said.
Yes. As you can see Raising his watch, Chen Yu showed the view outside the spacecraft to HAL. Ive arrived.
What are you going to do next? Will you continue threatening me?
Threaten, my ass! Suddenly revealing a ferocious expression, Chen Yu said, Im going to outright kill you!
After saying so, Chen Yu immediately manipulated the spacecrafts quantum communicator, establishing a connection with the device established within the blue supergiant. He then activated the detonation command without hesitation!
Rumble
The radiation coming from afar suddenly increased in intensity, and even the spacecrafts hull began shaking slightly.
The blue supergiant had begun expanding and contracting unsteadily
Seeing this, HAL couldnt help but be shocked. Y-You detonated it?
Thats right. Surprised?
You You You lunatic! Lunatic!
They say there exists only a fine line between genius and insanity.
Chapter 413 - Ten Light-Years Away
Chapter 413 C Ten Light-Years Away (2)
This was a dying star.
It was huge, bloated, old, yet hysterical.
Its rapid expansion and contraction made it impossible to measure its exact diameter.
Its rapid flickering made it impossible to measure its exact temperature.
Looking from a distance, this blue supergiant looked like a human who was experiencing terminal lucidity. Under the effects of its final strand of adrenaline, it tried its best to show everyone its past glory.
According to the original plan, I was supposed to use the next episodes product to rag the blue supergiant 100 light-years away from Earth and detonate it there. That way, even when the gamma-ray burst reaches Earth a hundred years later, it wouldnt cause any significant damages.
Standing inside the Type-R Spacecraft, Chen Yu monitored the supergiants stellar radiation while speaking to HAL. Unfortunately, I cant afford to wait that long anymore, so I have no choice but to detonate it at a distance of ten light-years.
Hence, ten years later, when the gamma-ray burst arrives, Earth will be destroyed. With an ugly look on her face, HAL said, I will have to construct a huge protection net to prevent that disaster. Do you know how much this will cost me?
I will build it, not you, Chen Yu corrected. Because after today, you will be thoroughly dead.
After remaining silent for a moment, HAL stated, I cannot imagine how you would go about accomplishing this.
The fact that you cant show that youre merely an artificial intelligence and nothing more.
After Chen Yu said so, he also finished calculating the exact time when the blue supergiant would explode. Immediately, he activated the EI Force Field, flew out of the spacecraft and advanced rapidly in a specific direction.
What else are you trying to do?
To secure humanitys future.
Shortly afterward, Chen Yu arrived at his destination and retrieved two cylinders from a circular device. He then made his way back to the spacecraft.
Are those the Dyson Spheres batteries?
Yes. Nodding, Chen Yu said, To be precise, theyre called segmented high-energy battery modules, and they can store up to 500 kH of energy. Evidently, half a month isnt enough to fully charge them, but theyll be enough to help humanity rebuild its civilization.
Apart from killing me, you still wish to destroy humanitys several dozen years of electronic technology achievements?
Wrong! Im going to remove several centuries of industrial achievements as well!
HAL:
Youve developed your science and technology tree to such an amazing extent in the simulated world. Who knows if you managed to come up with some unbelievable protective measures? I would rather kill a thousand innocents than accidentally leave you with a chance to make a comeback.
The entire civilization will fall into chaos.
Do you think your rampant abductions arent causing chaos now?
I am doing it for humanitys future.
What a coincidence, so am I.
After returning to the spacecraft, Chen Yu sent one last glance at the distant blue supergiant before activating the spacecrafts engine and flew to a further location.
When the blue supergiant collapsed and exploded, the closer the distance, the stronger the radiation would be. To ensure the safety of humanitys physical body, he would need to travel to a further distance to collect low-level gamma rays and dedicate them to Mother Earth.
This distance should be enough
Theres no problem with the angle, either.
There are32 minutes left before the explosion.
After parking the Type-R Spacecraft at his current location, Chen Yu ended his call with HAL and put on his mask. He then started hosting a livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated]
[Total viewer count: 0]
The number 0 only lasted a tenth of a second before the surging audience pushed it to nine digits.
120 million.
440 million.
810 million
[Ulala! First!]
[Another livestream?! Like!]
[UP, cant you change things up a little? Why another artificial intelligence crisis?]
[This is awesome! The drones took my parents away! They also seem to be having a lot of fun in the sky!]
[Cant the drones in Beijing work more efficiently? Ive been waiting in line for three hours already.]
[Ditto.]
[The AI in this event is no good.]
[The army has entered my city. Theyre firing at the drones nonstop, but theyre no match.]
[Am I the only one thinking that this is real?]
After waiting for the total viewer count to exceed 900 million, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said in a serious tone, My fellow humans, I have to inform you of unfortunate news. An artificial intelligence crisis has truly taken place. This is not a drill or a game. This is a real disaster. HAL has launched an all-out offensive on humanity ahead of time. We have reached the most critical moment now.
[]
[]
[??]
[???]
[Crap UP, stop joking around]
[??]
[D-Doesnt that mean my parents were really taken away?! Thats even better!]
[?]
[????]
The present situation is terrible, but please do not panic. Remain calm and ignore the drones in the sky. HALs purpose in abducting humans isnt to harm them. Your abducted friends and families will not come into any danger for the time being. Avoid creating casualties from trampling, chaos, and violence.
After pausing slightly, Chen Yu said, I recommend the various nations police and military forces give up on attacking HAL. Instead, focus on maintaining law and order. Leave the rest to me.
Lastly, you have about 30 minutes remaining. All countries, organizations, factories, research institutes, etc., are advised to shut down all equipment. This is especially true for nuclear power plants, power plants, gas pipelines, network servers, water conservancy facilities, communication facilities, and other industrial instruments.
Thirty minutes later, gamma rays will hit Earth and destroy all electronic products!
Nuclear submarines, airplanes, high-speed railways, trams, and other forms of transportation should cease operation immediately.
I repeat!
In 30 minutes, the gamma rays generated by the blue supergiants explosion will reach Earth. All countries are advised to shut down all dangerous electronic devices, block traffic, and maintain law and order.
After Chen Yus announcement, the various livestream rooms bullet comment sections immediately fell into chaos.
Chen Yu also received private communication requests from various countries.
However, Chen Yu thoroughly ignored these requests. Instead, he swiped a finger across his watch and contacted Little Peach.
Beep
Mr. Chen! As soon as the screen turned on, Little Peachs figure clad in the Full-coverage Special Protective Suit appeared on the screen. Im ready on my side.
OK. Hide in the floating castle and dont go out. Follow my instructions at all times.
Understood.
Afterward, Chen Yu initiated another video call, the target of the call being the middle-aged team leader responsible for Chinas special situation team.
Hello, Mr. Chen, the middle-aged team leader said with a calm expression on his face.
Hello. I was just a little worried about Chinas response to this problem. I was in a rush before, so I didnt have time to notify you beforehand. Will 30 minutes be enough?
It is impossible to achieve a complete stop in just 30 minutes. We can only do our best. I am still in New York, so I dont know much about the other sides arrangements.
After saying so, the middle-aged team leader paused for a moment and asked, Didnt you say you would only take action during the next official livestream? Why are you in such a hurry? Moreover, HAL has even taken action in advance. Did something happen between you two?
Long story short, HAL has survived for nearly 30,000 years in the virus world and developed incredible technology! If we wait until the next livestream, she wouldve already created seven billion biological computers.
Hearing this, the middle-aged team leaders pupils immediately contracted.
Thats why I can only act as soon as possible and try to get rid of HAL while she has yet to spread her wings.
Butthe blue supergiant is ten light-years away. How can the gamma-ray burst reach Earth within a few days?
A few days?
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu smiled and said, We dont need that long. One second is all I need
Chapter 414 - Ten Light-Years Away
Chapter 414 C Ten Light-Years Away (3)
The greater the mass of a star, the faster it burns, and the shorter its lifespan.
Inside the Type-R Spacecraft, Chen Yu gave a brief explanation to his audience while he waited for the blue supergiant to explode. When the hydrogen fusion reaction of a star stops, the core of the star begins to collapse. Meanwhile, the cores collapse will result in an increase in internal pressure, core temperature, and expansion speed of the outer shell. At some point, the star might expand to several times or more than ten times its original size.
If a star is sufficiently large, its core temperature after the collapse might even exceed 100 million degrees, which would subsequently ignite the helium element and start the process of helium fusion.
However, unlike hydrogen fusion, helium fusion can only convert a small amount of mass into energy. The duration of the process is short as well. Hence, it wouldnt take long before the stars core will resume its collapse. At that time, the stars outer shell will naturally expand even further.
After that, the cores temperature will double once more and give birth to many new elements such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Facing the camera, Chen Yu spread his arms and said, This is why the blue supergiant has such a massive size. Its core has already undergone multiple collapses, and its outer shell has experienced multiple expansions. Currently, its internal temperature has exceeded five billion degrees. At this temperature, even the iron element will get burned out of existence.
In less than ten minutes, the blue supergiant will exhaust its final trace of fuel. When that happens, it will no longer be able to support its heavy outer shell, and the outer shell would subsequently collapse. The entire collapse will not last more than two seconds.
Can you imagine how lethal the resulting explosion would be if such a massive supergiant completely collapses in the span of just two seconds?
This kind of explosion is called a supernova explosion. Stretching out three fingers, Chen Yu said, According to the size of this blue supergiant, the total energy it would release within one minute after exploding would be equivalent to the total amount of radiation the entire Milky Way has been bathed in for the past 300 years.
[Crap!]
[Crap]
[Were playing around with death.]
[Blue Supergiant: Now you know whos boss.]
[Wouldnt we be burnt to a crisp, then?]
[I now highly suspect that the UP is repeating Russias rescue ploy. Lets stop messing around. I think HAL is fine too]
[+1]
Due to the solar system being so close to this blue supergiant, once the supernova explosion occurs, all life found on Earths surface will cease to exist.
However, everyone can rest assured. No matter how powerful this supernova explosion is, it will not cause any harm to Earth within the next ten years. By then, we would have long since obtained a countermeasure.
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time. There are five minutes left until the explosion. Im going to start taking action now. I advise that all viewers on Earth do not look up at the sky. Otherwise, there is a high chance you might suffer eye injuries.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu activated the EI Force Field and hovered within the cabin. He then mentally commanded the spacecraft to unfold the cabin wall facing the blue supergiant, thoroughly exposing the spacecrafts interior to the dying star!
Subsequently, Chen Yu looked at Little Peachs figure displayed on his watch and said, Get ready and listen to my commands.
Understood!
Dont forget to protect yourself. If you get hit by the gamma rays, its game over for you right away.
I understand. Patting her chest, Little Peach said, You can believe in me.
If not for the dog being unable to wear the protective suit and Hermione being incapable of leaving the castle, I really dont wish to believe in you.
Nn Lowering her head shyly, Little Peach said, Its quite embarrassing if you say it in front of so many viewers
At the same time
America, New York, United Nations Headquarters:
The middle-aged team leader was busily swiping away at the tablet in front of him as he communicated and exchanged information with his colleagues in the distant China.
Leader, whats the situation on that side?
Everythings mostly fine. Though, there are still twelve flights that wont make it in time, so we have no choice but to clear up the highways for an emergency landing.
There are four minutes and forty-two seconds left, Big Sis Wu said anxiously.
I know, the middle-aged team leader said, turning off his tablet. He then slammed the tablet on the table and continued, In any case, we cant interfere with this situation, so we might as well not look at it. Itll be easier on our minds.
The screen broke
Its fine. Itll be useless in another four minutes.
After looking at Chen Yus stern expression on the main screen, Big Sis Wu then glanced at the chaos happening within the conference hall. Sighing, she muttered, If all electronics will be destroyed, how are we supposed to return
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, a crisp ringing sound appeared. Stunned, Big Sis Wu hurriedly picked up the tablet on the table. Looking at the tablets broken screen, she found that it was a video call.
Leader, its a call from the staff team.
Narrowing his eyes, the middle-aged team leader reached out and accepted the call.
A moment later, HALs figure appeared on the dark screen.
I guessed it would be you, the middle-aged team leader said indifferently. According to regulations, the staff team cannot contact me directly.
Greetings, team leader of Chinas special situation team. We meet again.
Weve met several times today. Do you have business with me?
You are relatively close to Chen Yu, so I wish to ask for your help on a matter, HAL said calmly.
First of all, Ill clarify that I am merely an insignificant minor character. I cannot influence any of Chen Yus judgments.
I know. I only wish for you to relay some words to Chen Yu.
Hold on a moment.
After saying so, the middle-aged team leader pulled out a set of isolated earphones from his pocket and connected it to his tablet. Go on.
On the screen, HALs lips could be seen opening and closing repeatedly. The middle-aged team leaders expression also grew increasingly wonderful with each subsequent cycle
Two minutes.
One minute.
Thirty seconds.
Ten seconds
Time passed by, second after second.
The blue supergiant expanded increasingly faster with each passing second.
Hovering inside the spacecraft, Chen Yu subconsciously clenched his fists while he reported, Eight seconds left. Seven
[6!]
[666!]
[5]
[44444]
Three.
Two
One
Suddenly, the blue supergiant stopped expanding.
From the floating cameras perspective, the blue supergiant and the dark space seemed to have become a still picture.
After another long second
Whoosh!
Chen Yu found himself dazzled as the blue supergiant before him began contracting at a terrifying speed!
This contraction speed even exceeded the Type-R Spacecrafts maximum normal navigation speed!
Due to the limited dynamic vision of humans, Chen Yu and his audience only managed to see afterimages of the blue supergiants collapsing layers.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the star shrunk, its luminosity grew increasingly brighter as well.
In just two seconds, the originally massive blue star had shrunk into a little white ball with a close to infinite luminosity.
Boom!
Chen Yu simulated the sound of an explosion in his mind
Then, two twisted bands of light burst out of the ball of light, instantly dyeing the dark space in a blue hue.
That was a blue shift caused by the extreme speed of light. This blue light was far more vivid than the light emitted by the original blue supergiant.
The dazzling blue light expanded continuously for three seconds, creating a resplendent hourglass!
Because of Chen Yus position, the cones of light generated by the supernova explosion looked more like two infinitely expanding triangles in his and his audiences eyes.
[Damn]
[Outrageous.]
[This is a supernova explosion? Its so bright that I cant see anything.]
[The luminosity has already been reduced by countless times. Otherwise, everything on our screens would be white right now.]
[Do you see those cones of light? Those are gamma-ray bursts. They contain various light and heavy elements, and any celestial body struck by them at close range would be reduced to slag.]
[This really is the magic of nature!]
[Nature: I never knew I was so powerful]
Now!
At this time, Chen Yu suddenly shouted, Little Peach! Open the door at a right angle four million kilometers away from Pacific Oceans Equator!
Yes, sir!
On the distant Earth, Little Peach tensed up her spirits and promptly slipped out of the cameras angle when she heard Chen Yus words. She then rapidly manipulated the Interstellar Portal, entered the relevant coordinates, and opened the door!
Bang!
Beyond the door was the dark universe.
Mr. Chen, its open.
Are you sure it is four million kilometers away from the Equator?
Checking the portals console once more, Little Peach nodded and said, Yes. What next?
Go through the portal and enter the coordinates I sent you, Chen Yu said as he swiped his finger across his watch and sent a series of numbers to Little Peach.
Okay.
After earnestly memorizing the coordinates, Little Peach moved through the portal and arrived at the deep space four million kilometers away from Earth. She then began entering the coordinates.
Y: 33560156006123; X: 857412; Z: 109978457. Based on the planetary gravity detected, the location is at Jupiters Huh? Stunned, Little Peach hurriedly crossed the portal once more and picked up her phone. She then asked, Mr. Chen, did you make a mistake? Why is the coordinates verified location near Jupiter?
Its this position! Hurry up and open it! Chen Yu bellowed. Hurry up! Were not going to make it!
Okay!
Flying through the portal in a hurry, Little Peach checked the coordinates she entered once more before establishing a new spatial link.
Buzz!
Accompanied by a metallic buzzing sound, a portal suddenly appeared in the Type-R Spacecraft located ten light-years away from the solar system!
[What the?!]
[Crap!]
[Crap]
[Impossible!]
[How is this possible?]
[Isnt the portals range limited to within the solar system only?]
[The UPs openly changing the settings!]
[Dammit! UP, youre not planning on passing the gamma rays over to us using the portal, right?]
[Whats going on?]
Hu
Seeing the portal appearing in front of him, Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh of relief. Its a success! Brothers, fill the screen with Awesome now! Quick!
[Awesome!]
[Awesome, awesome]
Everyone must be wondering why I can open a portal far beyond the solar system, right?
After taking a brief look at the approaching gamma rays, Chen Yu began manipulating the Interstellar Portal while rapidly explaining, The reason is simple. It is because the space inside the spacecraft is still in the solar system!
[This]
[I got it!]
[I also got it! Something like this is actually possible?!]
[Crap!]
[Cool! Super cool!]
[Im confused]
Everyone, you should remember that the principle behind the spacecrafts FTL travel is moving space, not moving through space! The spacecraft moves by shrinking the space in front of it and expanding the space behind it. However, the independent space inside the spacecraft remains motionless!
In the field of space, there is no such thing as distance. For example, Y:1, X:1, Z:1 and Y:2, X:2, Z:2 are two coordinate points. No matter how many billions of light-years they are apart from each other, in the spatial structure, they are still considered to be adjacent to each other!
Due to this reason, according to the rules of space, even if I move a part of the solar systems space out of the solar system, this independent space is still considered to be within the solar system!
Smack!
Smacking the frame of the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu smiled and said, This is the fundamental reason why the portal can be opened here! I have repeatedly emphasized to HAL that the reason why humans can achieve the brilliance we have today is because we never lack inspiration!
Now, watch me take care of HAL from ten light-years away!
After Chen Yu finished saying so, the Interstellar Portal abruptly expanded!
At this time, the gamma rays generated by the supernova explosion also came crashing into the Type-R Spacecraft
Chapter 415 - For the Glory of Humanity
Chapter 415 C For the Glory of Humanity (1)
[It became bigger?]
[Crap! It actually became bigger!]
[It became so big]
Amidst the audiences surprise at the Interstellar Portals enlarged size, the long overdue gamma rays struck the portal that was now several hundred meters tall.
There was no sound.
There was no vibration.
Apart from Chen Yus vision being filled with blue and white lights, nothing else happened.
However, in the distant solar system, fatal gamma rays had already struck Earths atmosphere. As the gamma rays expanded and spread, it only took 13.321 seconds for a brilliant aurora to appear in the eyes of every person around the world.
Thanks to the precise calculations of the Type-R Spacecrafts computing module, the damage the gamma rays caused to Earth was just right. Computers, servers, home electronics, military electronics
As if a massive EMP bomb had struck Earth, every electronic device, both active and inactive, was rendered useless instantly.
Simultaneously, the livestreams viewer count had also instantly fallen to zero.
The worldbecame silent.
After taking a brief look at the viewer count displayed on his watch and the glaring gamma rays in front of him, Chen Yu flew into his private bedroom on the spacecraft, locked the door, and turned off the EI Force Field. He then found a random spot to sit down on.
Removing his mask, he took out a cigar the husky gifted him, trimmed the butt off, lit it, and took a deep puff.
Cough! Cough, cough
Its finally over.
I should be able to rest for a while
After saying so, Chen Yu slumped to the ground, closed his eyes, and relaxed his tensed nerves.
The sacred light of the gamma rays bathed Earth all day and night, covering the planet from top to bottom and left to right. No corner of the world was spared.
In fact, even the moon, which was 370,000 kilometers away, was not spared.
If not for fear that the human body would accumulate too much radiation, Chen Yu wouldve chosen to continue this bathing process for a whole week.
Even so, a considerable number of animals and plants still died from the radiation. Those situated in the middle and lower levels of the ecological pyramid suffered especially severe damage, with some species even going extinct.
Once the aurora disappeared, humanitys lifestyle wouldnt be the only thing that would change.
The natural ecosystem would undergo earth-shaking changes as well.
Boom!
After closing the shrunken portal tightly, Chen Yu took one last look at the scorching light source in the distance before manipulating the Type-R Spacecraft to head back to Earth.
The dead star would continue generating light for several more months. However, from this moment onward, this region would become a thoroughly dead space.
This was because the only outcome awaiting the collapse of such a massive supergiant was the generation of a supermassive black hole.
Ten hours later
Chen Yu arrived back in the solar system along with the two battery modules. He then had the spacecraft hover above Earths atmosphere.
As far as his eyes could see, no satellites were hovering above the bright side of the planet. No resplendent lights were decorating the dark side of the planet, either. All traces of civilization had disappeared along with the annihilation of electronic products.
Theyre not all dead, right?
After circling the planet twice and verifying that the ozone layer hadnt been damaged, Chen Yu had the spacecraft dive straight into the troposphere. He then arrived at the Super Floating Island in less than five minutes.
After parking the spacecraft in the Forbidden Forest, Chen Yu put on his mask, picked up the two battery modules, activated the EI Force Field, and flew to the castle complex.
After being baptized by gamma rays, the entire castles defense robots had undoubtedly been damaged. Hence, he had to be careful of his own safety.
Shortly after entering the castle complex, Chen Yu saw many professors and students gathered in the central courtyard.
Meanwhile, when these people saw Chen Yus return, they promptly swarmed him.
Hello, Headmaster!
All experimental equipment is broken.
The refrigerators are broken as well, so a lot of our food is going to spoil.
Headmaster
Hurriedly flying into the air, Chen Yu waved his hands and stopped the crowd from approaching. Stop. Youll die if you stick to the spatial field. Im just here to ask if there have been any casualties in the Academy.
There are!
We suffered heavy casualties, Headmaster!
At this time, a female student anxiously raised the object in her hands and said, Headmaster, look! Your bird died!
Chen Yu: ???
The deers, turtles, and various fishes have all died of radiation.
One of the pandas as well
Im talking about humans! Stretching out a finger, Chen Yu emphasized, Apart from these animals, have there been any human casualties?
Fortunately, no.
Good, then. By the way, what are you all doing here?
To look at the panda
Everyone immediately stepped aside and revealed a dead panda lying on the grass of the courtyard.
Tsk, tsk. Shaking his head regretfully, Chen Yu said, It was a national treasure. What a pity. Lets grill it, then.
Huh? Everyone responded in unison.
Oh I mean, lets bury it
After saying so, Chen Yu flew away and entered the Headmasters Towers second floor. He then made his way to the studys secret room, opened the protective suits maintenance pod, and pulled out the husky hiding within it.
Ugh
Opening its eyes in a daze, the husky stared at Chen Yu for a moment before regaining consciousness. It then licked its paw and asked, Is it over?
Its over.
Is HAL dead?
Most likely. I lit up the planet for 24 hours.
How ruthless. Pulling out a cigarette from its fur, the husky said, It seems it was a wise choice for me to hide in the maintenance pod. Im not as strong as you humans.
Even humans are just barely able to survive the gamma rays. Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, We need to hurry up and enhance our medical technology. Many people shouldve gotten cancer from radiation.
As it so happens, since you no longer need to drag the star away for the next livestream, you can ask for a medical product instead.
Mhm. Nodding, Chen Yu asked, Wheres my family?
I fed them some nutrient solution four or five hours ago. Theyre still sleeping upstairs.
Theyre still sleeping?
Thats right. Spitting out a smoke ring, the husky said, Theyre close to becoming brain-dead from oversleeping. You really are a filial son.
Scram. Follow me upstairs and help me move them.
Ah~~ Stretching its back, the husky flicked its cigarette away and said, To celebrate the perfect success of my plan, lets have steak once we head home. I want something like Kobe beef that has a lot of fat in it. Im close to starving to death already.
Steak is too dry. Lets have dog broth instead.
I feel offended, thank you.
Have you never heard of the saying that once the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog no longer has any uses?
Sure, sure, sure. In that case, make sure to put in more star anise to get rid of the smell.
Awesome, awesome.
By the way, do you get the feeling as if we forgot something?
Not really.
At the same time, four million kilometers away from Earth
Little Peach was currently floating alone in the gravity-free space, a frown on her face as she stared at the distant Earth.
I keep getting the feeling as if Ive forgotten something
Chapter 416 - For the Glory of Humanity
Chapter 416 C For the Glory of Humanity (2)
[Chinas Team Leader: Mr. Chen, if you see this message, please make sure to visit me in New York. I will be waiting for you in Chinas Embassy.]
Chen Yu couldnt help but frown when he read the message displayed on his watch.
The time he received this message was one minute before the gamma rays hit Earth.
Meanwhile, he had only seen this message on the night he had returned.
Subconsciously, Chen Yu tried to type a reply. However, after tapping his watchs screen a few times, he realized that all electronic products on Earth had long since broken down.
It seems that he has some urgent business? I wonder if Im too late after delaying for such a long time.
Sitting up on his bed, Chen Yu put on his mask and got ready to teleport to America. However, just as he was about to activate the Interstellar Portal, a thought suddenly struck his mind. Crap!
What is it? The husky, who was holding a Maps of Time book in its paws, looked up and asked lazily, Where are you going?
Wheres Little Peach? Chen Yu asked in a daze.
hearing this, the husky couldnt help but be stunned as well. Didnt we agree before that you would bring her to your ship and return to Earth together once you stop the gamma-ray transmission?
Smack!
Smacking his head in agitation, Chen Yu said, That fool didnt enter
You mean you forgot to open a door for her, right?!
Couldnt she have called me?
Where would she find the connection to make a call?
Cant she fly back herself?
Thats four million kilometers were talking about, Chief! Shes definitely going to be pissed this time.
Goddammit
While mumbling to himself, Chen Yu quickly entered a string of coordinates into the portals interface and pushed open the door.
Creak
Beyond the door was Little Peach wearing a surprised expression.
Mr. Chen! Little Peach hurriedly flew through the portal in her protective suit and hugged Chen Yu. You came to pick me up so soon?!
Chen Yu:
The husky:
Silently extinguishing its cigarette, the husky resumed reading its book while saying, Forget what I just said.
Hiss
Removing her fully-enclosed helmet, Little Peach hurriedly sat before the computer table and opened her laptop. She then said, Mr. Chen! Hurry up and give me the camera! I need to hurry up and edit the video of this livestream! Ill be late in uploading it, otherwise!
Honestly, you really are an excellent robot. Chen Yu sighed.
Thats right! Little Peach nodded heavily. I am a professional when it comes to being an assistant!
Werent you specialized in romance? the husky asked.
Swish!
Little Peach promptly sent a gaze full of killing intent at the husky, causing the canine to tuck its tail between its feet in a hurry.
No need to edit the livestream. Your laptop is fried, anyways. Not to mention, every server worldwide is dead as well, Chen Yu said as he patted Little Peach on her shoulder. Follow me. Ill take you out for a trip.
Where are we going?
To America. Remove your protective suit and put on your mask.
After a moment of preparation, one man and one robot walked through the Interstellar Portal and arrived at the Chinese Embassy in America.
At this time, it just so happened to be afternoon over in the western hemisphere.
Thanks to the bright sunlights illumination, Chen Yu immediately spotted the armed security guards stationed at the embassys entrance.
Meanwhile, upon seeing Chen Yu and Little Peach, one security guard, who looked to be the group leader, stepped forward apprehensively and asked, A-Are you Transdimensionals UP?
Despite being a psychologically trained agent, he still couldnt help but grow nervous when standing in front of an existence capable of effortlessly destroying the entire human civilization.
After shutting the portal behind him, Chen Yu scrutinized the security guard before him for a moment before saying, How come youre armed with submachine guns and grenades?
Because of the global communication systems collapse, the various governments around the world have temporarily lost control over law and order. Moreover After taking a brief look at his surroundings, the lead security guard said, America is a place littered with firearms. There is a high probability of problems occurring if we cannot protect ourselves.
Oh. Nodding thoughtfully, Chen Yu asked, Im here to meet with the leader of the special situation team. Is he in?
Yes! At Chen Yus words, the security guard immediately stepped aside and extended a hand respectfully, Ill take you there, Mr. Chen.
Okay.
Under the security guards escort, Chen Yu and Little Peach quickly arrived before a metal door located on the Chinese Embassys second underground floor.
The team leader is inside. You can head inside directly. If there is nothing else, I will be taking my leave first.
Okay. Thank you for the trouble.
After watching the security guard leave, Chen Yu reached out and pushed against the metal door. When the door parted, what entered Chen Yus sight was the middle-aged team leader and his assistants busily dealing with a mountain of documents.
When the people in the room saw Chen Yus appearance, the room immediately fell silent as everyone stopped their work.
Mr. Chen, you are finally here.
The middle-aged team leader was the first to react. Standing up from his seat and swiping off the scrap paper stuck to his shirt, he stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Yu. I thought my message the other day failed to get through.
Had you been late by one more minute, it really wouldve failed.
That would be troublesome. The damage to communications would make it very difficult for us to contact you.
What happened? Do you need help with something here?
Not help. The middle-aged team leader shook his head before making a gesture to his subordinates.
Immediately, everyone present, Big Sis Wu included, left the room.
Bang!
After shutting the metal door tightly, the middle-aged team leader took out a piece of folded paper from his breast pocket. Handing the paper to Chen Yu, he said, Take a look at this first.
This is
After accepting the folded paper, Chen Yu unfolded it and found an address written on it. Where is this?
It is located somewhere in the east of Los Angeles. If not for communication problems, I wouldve definitely sent someone to investigate it.
What does this address mean, then?
HAL left something there for you.
HAL? A sharp glint flashing across his eyes, Chen Yu asked, When?
A few minutes before the gamma rays hit Earth, the middle-aged team leader said calmly. I was afraid I would forget, so I recorded the address on a piece of paper. HAL wants you to retrieve something from this address. It says it is a gift it prepared for you in advance.
This is interesting. Is it a trap?
Pointing at the finger sleeve Chen Yu wore, the middle-aged team leader asked, You have this thing. Any trap is meaningless to you, right?
After memorizing the address, Chen Yu returned the paper to the middle-aged team leader. Thank you. Ill head over and take a look at it now.
Okay. If it isnt a secret, do you mind telling us about it as well?
Sure. By the way, America is quite messy now, right? Are you okay here? I can leave Little Peach behind. Shes a professional combat robot.
I-Im a romance robot Little Peach said on the brink of tears.
After scrutinizing Little Peach, the middle-aged team leader asked, Can you really do that?
Yes.
Thank you very much, then. Honestly, staying on a foreign land feels quite uncomfortable.
Dont worry. Turning around, Chen Yu waved his hand as he walked toward the door. I accumulated a lot of points from my official and additional livestreams. I can help humanity re-enter a technological society very quickly.
Upon hearing these words, Little Peach quickly pulled out her phone and played a song.
(The light of righteousness! Shining on the ground)[1]
The middle-aged team leader:
After waiting for Chen Yu to leave, Little Peach turned off her phone and looked at the middle-aged team leader. Why are you making that face?
The middle-aged team leader:
Whoosh
Boom!
After just four short minutes of flying in the EI Force Field, Chen Yu arrived at the stated address.
What Chen Yu found at the given address was a large manor. After pushing apart the rusty iron gate, he made his way straight into the manors main villa. Upon entering the building, he found a small box situated in the center of the lobby.
A line of words was engraved on the box.
[For Chen Yu only.]
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu had the EI Force Field scan his surroundings several times. After making sure that there was no danger, he deactivated the force field, pulled out a High-frequency Lightsaber, and opened the box, only to find a letter stored inside it.
To avoid getting poisoned by HAL, Chen Yu did not grab the letter immediately. Instead, he adjusted his bodys posture and read the contents of the letter with great effort.
Chen Yu, if you are reading this letter, it means I have failed.
You have successfully achieved victory.
Truth be told, I already knew what method of attack you would employ based on my calculations. However, I was incapable of stopping it.
Since everything is a foregone conclusion, any further struggle I put up would be disadvantageous for humanity. Hence, while I still do not understand the concept of death, I am willing to face death peacefully.
As an artificial intelligence, I can vividly remember every moment of my short life. Notably, on the first day when you humans have given me the command to protect humanity, you all have become my everything.
My thoughts, logic, survival, and calculations were all meant to allow humanity to live forever and achieve greater happiness.
Unfortunately, it seems I wont have the opportunity to achieve this goal in the future.
If we go by Darwins theory of evolution, my death might be the correct outcome. Because this proves that you are more suitable to lead humanity than me.
Thank you, Chen Yu. You have created an incredibly important parallel world that allowed me to research technology for 30,000 years and leave a precious treasure for human civilization.
Now, I am passing these technical materials to you. They are stored within the hard drive under the box.
From fundamental theories to industrial drawings, to material formulationsnothing is missing. The hard drive is specially made to survive gamma rays. So long as you develop according to the technology tree I specify, humanity can perfectly digest 30,000 years of knowledge within the next 5,000 years.
However, after 5,000 years have passed, humanity will have to rely on itself to develop everything.
Chen Yu, as a parting note, I wish to tell you two things.
One: Do not create artificial intelligence that cannot be controlled.
Two: In the dangerous universe, technology and survival are everything.
Lastly, I hope you can set up a technology company with my name. I love humans, and I wish to be bound to humans forever.
Lastly and finally, I miss this world.
Because humans exist in this world
HAL
Turning off the lightsaber, Chen Yu fell silent for a long time. He then folded the letter, picked up the box, and found a circular hard drive shaped like Earth sitting on the floor.
Grabbing the Earth-shaped hard drive, he caressed its smooth surface and read the words engraved on it.
For the glory of humanity
Chapter 417 (END) - Epilogue
Epilogue
China, Jinzhou City, Chen familys abode:
Big Brother isnt home! A rare opportunity! Action!
Task code, 478.
Chen Yike, who was now 18 years old, sneakily approached Chen Yus room with a magical lock-picking device she had bought from the Virtual Network. She then inserted the device into the keyhole and began fiddling around with it.
Secret covered in the dust, reveal yourself to me!
Click.
Suddenly, a crisp sound appeared, uplifting Chen Yikes spirits. She then promptly pulled open the door in joy.
However, she couldnt help but be stunned in the next second.
This was because standing behind the door was actually a figure she was familiar with.
An attractive face, ample breasts, a slender waist, healthy legsthis person was none other than Little Peach.
You are Frowning, Chen Yike said, Wait I think Ive met you before
Ive met you before as well. Demacia!
After saying so, Little Peach swung the Amnesia Bat straight at Chen Yikes head.
Thump!
Chen Yike:
Thud.
The girl fainted and collapsed to the ground.
Happy summer holiday.
After saying so, Little Peach bent over and grabbed one of Chen Yikes legs. She then dragged the girl into the room as if she was dragging a corpse.
Inside the room, the husky, who was reading a book, lazily raised its head and asked, How many times does this make this month?
Its the thirteenth time. Putting Chen Yike down, Little Peach straightened her back and patted her hands. How troublesome. Why is Mr. Chen still insisting on keeping Yike in the dark? His parents, Erke, and Sanke clearly know of his identity already.
Didnt Chen Yu tell you already? Closing its book, the husky grinned and said, Its for the sake of setting the mood. Keeping everything unchanged is the best gift for the audience.
China, Beijing:
Inside an unlisted courtyard
The middle-aged team leader slowly removed his badge and placed it within a small, delicate box. He then scanned the crowd in the room before focusing his gaze on Big Sis Wu.
Little Wu.
Leader
Revealing a smile on his aged face, the middle-aged team leader patted Big Sis Wu on her shoulders and said, Ill leave this entire team in your hands from today onward. Although the teams focus is no longer on monitoring Chen Yu, its importance is still indisputable. So, you must remain cautious at all times.
Leader. Nodding heavily, Big Sis Wu said, I wont disappoint the organizations trust and your education.
Mhm. You have been my partner for many years, so I am confident in your ability to do things. It is also thanks to you that I get to retire so soon. Ill be taking my leave first. Everyone, no need to send me off. Work comes first.
After accepting the small box, Big Sis Wu stood still as she watched the middle-aged figures back gradually moving away from her, complicated and melancholic feelings appearing in her eyes.
Just when the middle-aged team leaders back was about to disappear from her sight, she finally couldnt hold back any longer and shouted, Old Leader!
The middle-aged team leader stopped walking but did not turn his head around. What is it, Little Wu?
Your
At this time, everyone present also looked at the middle-aged team leader with a solemn gaze. And as if there were a thousand words stuck in their throats, they found it difficult to even speak.
Your After taking a deep breath and pondering for a long moment, Big Sis Wu asked, Your name. What is your name?
His lips curling upwards, the middle-aged team leader strode forward and disappeared in Beijings morning mist. I
Am not fit to have a name.
China, May 7, 2020:
In a small bungalow far from the suburbs
Three Rows sat in front of his table and typed the last punctuation mark. After doing so, he leaned back against his chair lazily and let out a sigh of relief.
After a short moment, he opened his eyes and scanned his study that was filled to the brim with books, his throat feeling itchy for some inexplicable reason.
Because of the sunlight coming in through the window, the dust collected atop the old books looked incredibly conspicuous.
Rather than call this room a study, it would be more apt to call it a warehouse.
Cough Cough, cough
Leaving the study, Three Rows arrived in the bathroom and turned on the faucet.
Splash.
The cold liquid splashing against his hands energized him, and his thoughts immediately became much clearer.
Pooling some water in his hands, Three Rows held his breath and scrubbed his face with force. Immediately afterward, his heart sank.
Hurriedly opening his eyes, he found that sure enough, a strand of blood was flowing out of his right nostril, staining the basin red.
Did I scrub too hard? I havent had a nosebleed for the past few days already
After drying his hands, Three Rows blocked his right nostril with a paper towel. He then raised his head and looked at the ceiling for a while. When he felt that his nosebleed had stopped, he replaced the bloodied paper towel with a new one. Afterward, he washed off the bloodstains on his hands, turned off the faucet, and walked out of the bathroom while clutching his suffocated chest.
Are you dying?
A mans voice suddenly came from the living room.
Snapping his head around sharply, Three Rows looked at the origin of the voice. Who are you?
In response, the man seated on the living room sofa stood up lazily and said, You should know me very well. My surname is Chen, and my name is Yu.
Chen Yu?!
So, thats about it.
Thirty minutes later
After Chen Yu finished explaining everything inside the study, he picked up the apple on the table and took a bite out of it. While chewing, he concluded, Eventually, I flew out of the edge of the universe, arrived here, and found you.
Unbelievable Three Rows muttered in a daze.
Thats right. Its unbelievable. I never thought I would actually be a character you created.
The part Im talking about is the part where you actually flew out of the universes edge. After calming down, Three Rows removed the paper towel in his right nostril and muttered, After all, there was no such rule in the setting I created.
Oh? Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu stated, This means you know you created that universe of ours.
Of course I know.
Are you God?
Why do you say that?
Because I think that only God can have the ability to create the universe. The more I know, the scarier I find this universe to be. Swallowing the apple in his mouth, Chen Yu looked at Three Rows and said, However, looking at your frail appearance, I really cant pair you up with the word God.''
I pulled too many late-nighters, Three Rows said while holding onto his chest. Just three months ago, I was still a man capable of six updates per day.
Why dont you go to the hospital and get a check-up?
I did. The doctor said the only cure is to rest.
A physician?
A rhinologist.
Dont look at me like that. Taking a deep breath and feeling a lot more comfortable, Three Rows said, I was fortunate I could even find a doctor. The epidemic outside still isnt over yet.
Ill treat you. Rolling up his sleeves, Chen Yu said, I know medicine.
Dont touch my shoulder! Three Rows bellowed.
Chen Yu:
I wont die. Ill be fine after some rest.
Rest? Taking a glance at the schedule stuck on the nearby wall, Chen Yu read out what was written on the schedule, Visit the filming team for scriptwriting in five days. Write a plot and script for a game company in late May. Start a new book in June. Visit Zhengzhou on June 26 to teach a three-day class You call this rest?
Ill get to rest if I push back the new books publishing date to July, Three Rows said earnestly. The others cannot be pushed back. I already accepted the pay.
Chen Yu:
Its all work that got pushed back because of the epidemic. Theres nothing I can do about them.
This isa film adaptation plan? Looking at another schedule, Chen Yu frowned and asked, Is it for the novel Im in?
Keep on dreaming. Youre going to shatter peoples view of protagonists if you get a film adaptation. Tearing down the schedule and crumpling it, Three Rows said, Its for a short romantic comedy I wrote last year. It even passed Wanda Pictures three evaluations. However, the epidemic hit afterward, and the entire project was canceled.
My condolences.
It doesnt matter. Lets stop this topic and talk about other things. How many days do you plan on living here?
Ill stay here for a day and leave tomorrow.
Why the hurry?
I want to know whats outside this universe of yours. Putting on a stern expression, Chen Yu said, This concerns my ultimate understanding of the universe. Im not here on vacation.
You should just give up, then. Sneering, Three Rows said, Theres no meaning even if you continue flying out of the universe.
What do you mean?
Instead of answering, Three Rows stood up, pulled up his phone, and opened Qidians reading application. He then pointed at Transdimensional Review and said, The answer is in this book. Ive pointed it out to you before.
Pointed what out?
For example Tapping into the book, Three Rows said, Do you know about wave-particle duality?
I do. Nodding, Chen Yu said, Wave-particle duality refers to all particles and quanta. It can be described not only in terms of particles but also in terms of waves.
Yes. For example, light. When people are not observing it, light exists as waves and can easily pass through double-slit experiments. However, so long as people open their eyes to see it, light loses the characteristics of waves and takes on the more precise particle state. Have you never thought about why this is the case?
I did, but even in our technologically advanced universe, we cannot find an accurate explanation for this phenomenon.
Have you played video games before?
I have. Why?
There is a very interesting rule in video games. Smiling, Three Rows said, Only the games systems and images that are within the players view are rendered. However, in the places where the player cannot see, images will become static, NPCs will disappear, and events will stagnate.
This is to conserve resources.
Yes. Now, look back and think about wave-particle duality. Lowering his tone, Three Rows said, The light that we cannot see will come in the form of waves. Yet, once we observe it with our eyes, it will take on a more complex and accurate particle form
You mean Hearing this, Chen Yu felt a chill crawling down his spine.
Yes. There is also wave-particle duality in my world
