"Squeak —"
With an emergency brake, the Type-R Spacecraft barely stopped its inertia and stopped on the spot.
Rubbing his eyes, Chen Yu suppressed the absurdity in his heart and looked at the line of text displayed on the screen once more...
"About to explode?!"
His face turned ashen in an instant, and his fingers stiffly tapped on the nine squares.
Chen Yu: "Grandma, this joke isn't funny at all."
"That's right.
So I'm not joking. "
He turned his head and looked at the chattering audience on his watch screen. They were still unaware of the severity of the situation. He took a deep breath and continued to reply.
[Chen Yu: "When you say 'soon,' are you speaking on a cosmic scale or a human scale?"]
"Of course it's on a cosmic scale.
The 'soon' in the human world view is too fast. Isn't that the same as watching their compatriots die? "
"F * ck, that scared me …"
Seeing this, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief.
Chen Yu: "Can you stop panting in the future?
There are more than seven billion humans behind me. I can't afford to be tossed around. "
"You're thinking too much."
Chen Yu asked, "Be more precise. How long will it take for this thing to detonate?
According to the time scale of the universe, it should be tens of thousands of years, right? "
"There's still four months left."
Chen Yu: "Four months, huh? I understand."
Chen Yu: "…!!!"
[Chen Yu: "What did you say?!
Only four months left?! "
"Yes, dear."
Chen Yu: "You... Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the scale of the universe?"
Transdimensional Marketing: "Isn't 'soon' on a human scale just a few minutes later?"
Chen Yu: "Is there a difference between a few minutes and a few months?!"
"Four months is enough for the Earth to rotate 120 times.
You can rest assured with this kind of shelf life. "
With his back facing the camera, Chen Yu's complexion was ashen, and his hands could not help but tremble as he typed.
Chen Yu: "Can I return the goods now?
If you're a brother, then return the goods. "
Transdimensional Marketing said, "Mr. Chen, the cost of transporting such a large object is more than ten times more expensive than this galaxy bomb.
The Transdimensional Marketing Company really can't afford it. Even if we buy out our entire company, we still can't afford it.
So we can't exchange it. Please understand. "
[Chen Yu: "How did you manage to mail it, then?!"]
After sending the message, the other side was silent for a long time.
"I can't explain it in one or two sentences. I'll send you a product manual now. It has a lot of detailed history about this galaxy bomb.
You'll understand after reading it. "
Next, the formatted file.
Clicking the download button, Chen Yu turned around and faced the camera. Forcing himself to calm down, he said, "Friends, I've made a small mistake.
This blue supergiant isn't the stellar battleship I was talking about. It's a different kind of weapon.
He didn't know the details yet, but the manual had been sent over.
Please wait for a moment, I will introduce it to you after I read it. "
"Don't worry, everything is very stable."
After saying that, he ignored the feedback in the bullet screen area and decisively opened the downloaded file, skimming ten lines at a glance.
Naturally, the more he looked at it, the worse his expression became.
…
At the same time, on Earth, a billion light-years away, in the Observer's Hall on Jonue.
The room fell silent.
Everyone stared at the star on the screen, which was so huge that it exceeded their field of vision. Their minds were in a mess.
It was a star.
It was a blue supergiant that was more than 456,000 times larger and 55,000 times brighter than the sun!
It was only ten light years away from them.
"This..."
Removing his glasses, Korea's representative sighed and rubbed his temples. "This has already exceeded the scope of what we can handle."
"It has exceeded our limit since the first livestream."
"Humans are just a group of ants looking at Superman. Their lives and deaths depend on Superman's mood or whether he makes a mistake."
"Obviously, as the number of livestreams increases, the products he reviews will become more dangerous. Mistakes are bound to happen.
It's just a matter of time. "
Standing up, Japan's representative said with a cold gaze, "We can't just sit here and wait for death. We can't ignore the crisis for the sake of immediate benefits."
Everyone present was a shrewd person. They naturally understood the hidden meaning behind the Japanese representative's words.
However, they wisely kept quiet.
Who knew if Transdimensional's UP had secretly placed surveillance equipment in this hall?
Not to mention, there were too many people here. Their factions, structures, thoughts, and consciousness were all different. If they spoke carelessly, they would only be courting death. They might even implicate their own country.
Looking at it from this perspective, Japan's representative was truly "stubborn."
The room fell silent for three minutes.
After sorting out the words in his mind, the middle-aged team leader picked up the microphone and said softly, "There are two sides to everything.
Don't always dwell on the disadvantages.
While it is true that Transdimensional Review's products are each more dangerous than the last, the benefits they bring to humanity are also greater than the last.
Through his perspective, we have gained a new understanding of the universe in just one year. "
Pausing slightly, the middle-aged team leader noticed that everyone's gazes were focused on him. He then continued, "The universe is dangerous.
Since we live in this universe, danger is naturally unavoidable.
Transdimensional's UP said something very well in his previous livestream. "
"The universe is cruel, and the development of civilization is also tortuous.
Whether it is for individuals or races, efficiency is the right path.
"Although the monthly reviews are dangerous and will only become more dangerous in the future, we cannot deny that our overall technological strength is also growing.
Other civilizations might need thousands or even tens of thousands of years to complete this journey. We might only need a few years.
From the standpoint of humanity as a whole, for this benefit, it is worth it to take more risks. "
"I agree." Raising his hand, Russia's representative said, "Not to mention, we have no other choice."
As soon as the middle-aged team leader finished speaking, no one in the room spoke another word.
However, everyone knew that from this moment on, an irreconcilable split had appeared in the originally stable "special" alliance.
Meanwhile, this scene was also recorded by the cameras around the hall...
…
Ten light-years away, inside the Type-R Spacecraft...
After spending ten minutes, Chen Yu finished reading the entire instruction manual.
This was especially true for the last few pages of the product history overview. He had even gone through it three times to ensure that he did not make a single mistake.
Finally, he understood what had happened.
He also understood how the Transdimensional Marketing Company had sent this "galaxy bomb" to him at a "loss."
He even gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between him, the evaluator, and the Transdimensional Marketing Company.
In this world, whether it was ancient times or modern times, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
The only things that existed were naked interests and conspiracies...
Slowly putting down his phone, Chen Yu fell silent for a long time. Even in front of 700 million viewers, he still couldn't help but curse.
"Dammit!
"A bunch of crazy bastards!"
