Chapter 373 – Earthlings…Are 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 we’re 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 star’s 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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t 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 talents—conducting 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? There’s nothing else to discuss, then . Let’s 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 Yu’s 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 Yu’s 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 shouldn’t 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 you’re taking revenge on me right now . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “❤️ You’re 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: “I’m 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 shouldn’t be a problem . ”]

[Chen Yu: “What’s the point, then?! Isn’t 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 won’t do . I have already applied for an even more amazing product for next month’s review . I can’t change it . ”]

[Chen Yu: “More?! You’re telling me you applied for more?!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “It’s only an adjective . The danger it poses is significantly lower . I swear . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Can we discuss this? There’s 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 branch’s 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 isn’t something as dangerous as a stellar battleship . Actually, it is…

“Haha, it’s just a big firecracker!”
