Chapter 267: Ban Falters!

Chapter 267 – 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 . “I’ll let them use it . I don’t need it, in any case . ”

“You must’ve 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 should’ve 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 . It’s almost twice the previous record . Something must’ve gone wrong . ”

“Why didn’t you ask those representatives about this before?”

“Most of them are navy officers stationed nearby . They won’t understand these things . It’s 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 . ”

“What’s the cause?”

Showing his phone screen to Little Peach, Chen Yu sighed and said, “Dammit, it’s 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 Japan’s netizens know about the box . The situation there has gotten completely out of control . Although most people still aren’t aware of the box’s 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 wouldn’t 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 won’t be able to get promoted anymore,” Little Peach said slowly .

“Correct . That’s 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, “I’m about to become a global sensation . ”

“You should quickly think of countermeasures with the various governments!”

“They’re even more anxious than I am because of that letter . Anyway, there’s nothing we can do about this situation . We’ll 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!

“I’m 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?”

“I’m 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 .

“Where’s Third Eldest?”

“She said it’s 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 won’t 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:

Quickly pierce the target’s pupil, enter the brain, and wreak havoc, instantly killing the target . Sneak into the target’s body through the respiratory system and cause continuous trauma until the target is dead . Sneak into the target’s body and release metallic poisons, which will induce a sudden heart attack and cover up the assassination as a natural death .

The selling price is 1,560 points . ]

“Crap…”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but shudder when he read the product’s 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 it’s 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 Yu’s mumblings .

“What are these nonsensical products?”! Chen Yu bellowed . “Aren’t 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 product’s 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 user’s 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?”
