Chapter 90 – 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?”

“There’s a time limit . What’s wrong, Mr . Chen?”

“Then go change your face back . I’m 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 . ”

“That’s right! Even robots have a love for beauty . ”

“Oh . ” Chen Yu nodded expressionlessly to Little Peach’s 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 Erke’s 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 Erke’s 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 room’s 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, where’s your elder sister?”

“After sending me back, Big Sis left with mom to shop for new clothes . ”

“New clothes? What for?”

“It’s for the new years . ”

“Isn’t it a little too soon for that?!”

“Mom said that clothes are cheaper during this time . They’ll become more expensive once it’s 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: “I’m 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: “Let’s break up . ”]

[Blooming Clouds: “???”]

[Chen Yu: “I’m not editing anymore . Let’s end our partnership . ”]

[Blooming Clouds: “…Brother, don’t joke with me, alright?”]

[Chen Yu: “I’m not joking . I’m earning too little, so I decided to stop . So, that’s it . ”]

[Blooming Clouds: “A ploy! I knew you would use this ploy! Alright, we can raise the price . I understand . ”]

[Chen Yu: “I don’t care how much of a raise you give me . My studio’s closing shop . Bye-bye . ”]

[Blooming Clouds: “Brother! Big Brother! Don’t do this!”]

[Chen Yu: “I have plenty of little sisters already . ”]

[Blooming Clouds: “Daddy!”]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Blooming Clouds: “Daddy, let’s not mess around anymore, alright? We can negotiate the price . I’ve already accepted so many jobs . If you don’t edit them, I’ll drown in losses . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Not doing it . I’m 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 you’re such a pitiful little girl, I’ll 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 shouldn’t take offense at a child’s 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 portal’s light instantly melted Little Peach’s cold mood . Slowly standing up, Little Peach’s eyes reddened as she said, “I… I knew it . Mr . Chen, I knew you wouldn’t-”

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 Marketing’s software . Afterward, focus on coding . ”

Little Peach”…let me off the hook…”

Bang!

Shutting down the Interstellar Portal, the guilt in Chen Yu’s heart promptly disappeared .

“It won’t 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 it’s 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 Review’s uploader is in this city . ”

“Is there any possibility of it being a smokescreen?”

“It’s possible, but we can’t 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?”

“That’s right . At the very least, those boxes cannot be reproduced with our current technology . ”

Upon receiving the white man’s 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 leader’s 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 don’t know . ” Shaking his head, the white man said, “Every group has a different task . We might even have conflicting tasks . ”

“Is that so…”

“That’s 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 . Ain’t that right? My partner?”

“…Maybe you’re 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?”

“…”
