Afternoon, 2: 30 PM:
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District:
Creak …
Pushing open the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu pounced onto his bed and rolled around frantically.
"Mr. Chen, are we leaving that product at sea?" Little Peach asked as she entered the portal. She then closed the door and disconnected the spatial link.
"Mhm."
Lying on his bed, Chen Yu nodded and said, "I'll leave it for them. I don't need it, anyway."
"You must have earned a lot of points today!
You can definitely exchange them for powerful toys! "
"A lot."
Standing up, Chen Yu pulled out his phone, opened his browser, and solemnly said, "I have earned at least 2,500 points.
However, compared to exchanging for the product, there is something more important I need to investigate first. "
"What is it?"
"The problem of the skyrocketing number of viewers."
While saying so, Chen Yu started searching for various keywords in his browser. "There are too many viewers watching this livestream. There must be a problem with the sudden increase of viewers by nearly double."
"Why didn't you ask those representatives when you were on the warship, then?"
"Most of them are marines stationed nearby. They might not know about this kind of thing, and it would be troublesome to ask. I might as well search for it myself."
Very quickly, Chen Yu found an overseas news article. After carefully reading it twice, the corners of his mouth twitched. "... I found it."
"Because of what?"
Showing his phone screen to Little Peach, Chen Yu sighed and said, "Dammit, it's because of that 3,000-meter-tall delivery box."
"The box has been exposed!" Little Peach exclaimed in surprise.
"Mhm.
The Echigo Plain is one of the few arable areas in Japan. To move the delivery box, the local government chose to use a sea towing method. When the delivery box passed by Niigata City's port, more than two million citizens saw it. As a result, an error occurred in the information blockade, causing a global sensation. "
"Didn't the other countries ban the news?"
"They did. The effect is only so-so."
Shrugging, Chen Yu said, "The main problem is Japan. Every netizen in Japan knows about this matter, and it has completely gone out of control.
Although the majority of the netizens still don't know the origin of the delivery box, it is only a matter of time before Transdimensional Review gets involved.
For example, the extra ten million people today are all from Japan. "
"T-Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Little Peach tilted her head.
"In the short term, the promotion is stable.
But in the long run, it's definitely bad. "
Storing away his phone, Chen Yu stood up and walked up to the window. Looking at the snow-covered scenery outside, he scratched his head in frustration and said, "Public opinion can explode very quickly. With the current population of over 20 million people and the three-kilometer-long delivery box incident, even if the world's governments try their best to suppress it, news will still spread rapidly.
I wouldn't be surprised if the number of viewers suddenly skyrocketed to 50 million in the next official broadcast.
There are only seven billion humans in the world … "
"Once everyone in the world finds out, you won't be able to advance any further," Little Peach said.
"Yes.
Hence, I deliberately kept the commotion I caused during the livestream this time. Now, however, it seems that it was useless. "Turning around, Chen Yu revealed a helpless and complicated expression." I'm going to become famous all over the world. "
"Quickly think of a countermeasure with the officials!"
"They are more anxious than I am on account of that letter.
Anyway, we can't do anything. Let them think for themselves and take one step at a time. "
After saying so, Chen Yu lay back down on his bed. He then raised his wrist and swiped his finger across his watch to check his earnings from this livestream.
There were a total of 26.12 million viewers in the top ten livestream rooms, earning him 2612 points!
In addition to the remaining 1,201 …
He had earned a total of 3,813 points!
"I've really struck it rich this time …"
Suppressing the sudden excitement in his heart, Chen Yu stood up and walked toward the door without hesitation.
"Mr. Chen, are you going out for dinner?"
"I need to rinse my brain in advance."
Opening the door and walking out of his bedroom, Chen Yu noticed that only Father Chen and Mother Chen were watching TV in the living room. None of his three little sisters were home.
"Where's Third Eldest?"
"She said she was bored at home, so she went to cram school with Eldest and Second Eldest," Mother Chen said while munching on melon seeds. "You slept in your nest for the whole day?
Did you pull an all-nighter again? "
"Oh, mhm."
After giving Mother Chen a vague response, Chen Yu walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed himself to his heart's content.
"Ha!
My head should be clear now. I won't get a stupid product, right? "
After wiping his hair dry with a towel, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom and locked the door. He then sat on his bed once more and expectantly swiped his finger across his watch. He then clicked into the Transdimensional Store's interface.
[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products.
(Updated at midnight every day.)]
After a brief refresh, the first product appeared on the screen.
[1. Assassination Bee: Produced by McKent Military Company in 2673.
It has a diameter of three millimeters and is equipped with sixth-generation biometric technology. It integrates regional feature analysis algorithms, computer image processing, and biometrics into one. It can quickly distinguish human features and accurately identify the target with 99.996% accuracy.
[There are three built-in assassination methods. First, quickly pierce the target's pupils and enter the brain to complete the destruction, causing the target to die instantly.
Second, enter the target's body through the respiratory system, causing continuous damage until the target dies.
Third, after entering the target's body, release a slow-acting metal poison, causing a sudden heart attack due to arrhythmia and pretending to die of natural causes.
Price: 1,560 trade points.]
"Crap..."
Chen Yu couldn't help but shudder when he read the product's introduction.
He could easily imagine what kind of terrifying consequences this killer weapon would bring if it fell into the hands of an "ambitious person."
Compared to firearms, weapons, and nuclear bullets, the Grim Reaper hiding in the dark was even more terrifying...
"It seems to be very suitable for deterrence.
"It's also good for research, but it's too dangerous..."
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu pondered for a long time before choosing to flip to the next page.
[2. Ice 9: Produced by VG Century Company in 3281.
It is stored in a special liquid form in the strong magnetic confinement field.
Any object that comes into contact with Ice 9 will have its atomic, molecular, and other particle kinetic energy rapidly reduced, causing the object to infinitely approach absolute zero.
Moreover, an object in the Ice 9 state will freeze any matter it comes into contact with until the Ice 9 state ends.
Normally, a liter of Ice 9 can freeze an entire continent of Australia. Under standard Earth conditions, the Australian continent will not freeze for another 600 years.
(Extremely dangerous!
Please operate cautiously!)
Price: 3,500 trade points.]
"... So, my shampoo is effective?"
"What?" Little Peach asked in confusion.
"Why are they all using this damned thing?!" Chen Yu bellowed. "Isn't this too scary?!"
"What is it?" Leaning forward curiously, Little Peach asked, "Is it a toy?"
Chen Yu didn't reply. Instead, he flipped to the next page and nervously looked at the third product.
[3. Death Computing Glasses: Produced by the Huashi Glasses Company in 3156.
After aiming at the target, the built-in super-miniature quantum computer will accurately analyze all motion lines within its field of vision. From small details such as falling teacups to large details such as vehicle driving, everything will be incorporated into the "Farrell" computing model to analyze the causal nodes of the environment.
As long as the causal nodes are changed, a series of seemingly unrelated chain reactions can be created and the target can be accidentally killed.
(For example, a chain reaction caused by a sneeze can cause a series of car accidents and accurately kill the target.)
Price: 2,720 trade points.]
Chen Yu: "... Sure enough, is today a horror show?"
