Chapter 112: Additional Livestream (2)
Chapter 112 – Additional Livestream (2)
Inside the kitchen, the Chen family of six were currently having a quiet dinner together.
After swallowing her food, Mother Chen suddenly asked, “Chen Yu, I have a few things to ask you.”
“What is it?” Chen Yu responded while chewing his food.
“How is your part-time editing job doing recently? Are you still making money?”
“Of course. If you want money, I can transfer some to you tonight through WeChat.”
“I’m just asking. You already have several tens of thousands kept in our place. From now on, keep the money you earn yourself. You should start learning how to save money yourself as well,” Mother Chen said. After pausing slightly, she continued, “What about the sports matter? When will you start partic.i.p.ating in compet.i.tions?”
“I’m not competing in anything. I already said I’m not going to become a sports student.”
“So, you ruined the deal?”
“What do you mean ruined the deal? Your son is good-looking and has good technical skills. What’s wrong with entering university and making big money?”
“You can enter university without taking an exam nowadays?” Father Chen interrupted.
“…” Slapping his chopsticks onto the table, Chen Yu complained,
“Why has every family discussion we held as far as I can remember made me upset?”
“Fine, fine. You’re old enough and can make money now. You can have the final say on your own matters. We won’t interfere in your life anymore,” Mother Chen said, shrugging. She then swept a glance at Chen Yike, Erke, and Sanke before asking Chen Yu, “Lastly, I seemingly heard a dog barking in your bedroom last night. What’s up with that?”
As soon as Mother Chen spoke these words, Chen Yike’s body stiffened, Chen Erke grew fl.u.s.tered, and Chen Sanke grew bewildered. At the same time, all three siblings turned their gaze toward Chen Yu…
“Um…” After exchanging looks with his three little sisters, Chen Yu pondered a moment before saying, “Woof.”
Mother Chen: “…”
“Father Chen: “…”
“Woof!” Sweat starting to form on his forehead, Chen Yu asked, “Was it this sound?”
For a moment, all three sisters neatly and simultaneously gave a thumbs up to Chen Yu as they inwardly thought, My Big Brother is awesome!
…
After crudely pooling the wool over his parents’ eyes, Chen Yu walked out of the kitchen and returned to his room under his three little sisters’ gazes of admiration.
After locking the door, Chen Yu laid down on his bed and stretched his body. He then turned toward Little Peach and asked, “Have you made the announcement posts yet?”
“They’re published. They got a lot of clicks. Bilibili still has the most views, numbering over one million now. However, both Kuaishou and TikTok don’t support text posts, so I didn’t make any announcements there.”
“I barely have any fans on those two platforms. It’s fine even if we can’t make any announcements there,” Chen Yu replied nonchalantly. He then turned over, revealing his belly as he closed his eyes and took a short nap. After his nap, he got out of his bed and walked up to Little Peach, saying, “Let me have the table for now. I want to write a script. It’s been quite some time since I wrote anything.”
“Okay.” Picking up her laptop, Little Peach obediently gave Chen Yu her seat.
Half an hour later…
After memorizing the script he wrote, Chen Yu burned it into ashes. He then retrieved his haori and Little Peach’s cheongsam from under the bed, tossing the latter to Little Peach. “Put it on. It’s time to livestream.”
Little Peach returned her laptop onto the table, quickly changed into the cheongsam, and put on her mask. She then walked up to the Interstellar Portal and asked, “Mr. Chen, where will we livestream at today?”
“America. It’s still daytime over there. Find a place that’s deserted.”
“Okay! Should we head back to Sacramento?”
“Sure, but not at the same place as we appeared last time. The American government could’ve easily stationed a lookout there.” After putting on his haori, Chen Yu picked up one of the two white boxes. He then walked up to Little Peach and urged, “Are you done choosing yet?”
“I’m done!” Little Peach hurriedly pressed the ‘Confirm’ b.u.t.ton. Once the spatial link was established, she promptly pushed open the door and said, “Mr. Chen, you first.”
“Good girl. Bring that ‘thing’ as well.”
“Okay.”
After stepping onto the soil located on the other side of the world, Chen Yu clamped the box under his armpit and raised his wrist, and manipulated his watch. After directing the floating camera toward himself, he put on his mask and quietly waited for 9 PM to arrive.
“It’s nine o’clock! Start the livestream!”

After these several lines of text flashed by, the viewer count displayed on the watch’s screen started rapidly increasing!

27,785.
58,923…
In just 10 seconds, the total viewer count had broken through 50,000, and it was still continuously increasing.
[Hahahaha! It’s livestream time!]
[The days without you are so lonely.]
[Exactly nine o’clock! Perfectly punctual!]
[Can’t you do official livestreams more frequently? Once a week is fine as well!]
[Huaqiangbei has joined the livestream room.]
[I see the female a.s.sistant again! I just so happen to be on the bed! Wonderful!]
[I have a full set of the female a.s.sistant’s screenshots. I have her in all sorts of poses. Message me if you’re interested.]
[It’s daytime in the livestream. UP, have you gone to harm America’s citizens again?]
“Greetings, friends in the five livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Review. I’m sure everyone is aware of this, but today’s livestream is considered an additional review. I will only let everyone witness the wonders of future technology. Well, then, let’s dispense with the nonsense and start the review.”
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the box in his hands and turned it full circle before the camera. “Today’s review product is this thing in my hands. To enjoy this product with everyone, I haven’t unboxed it yet. This is a moment that belongs solely to us.”
Tear.
Through the camera’s lens, nearly 200,000 people watched Chen Yu remove the seal, open the box, and reveal its product.
An exquisitely made hilt!
After taking out the hilt and instruction manual, Chen Yu tossed the box aside and displayed the hilt to the camera, saying, “It’s this thing. This is a magical tool that has appeared in novels and movies countless times. I’m sure that everyone can guess its name even without me saying it.”
[I know! It’s a switchblade!]
[Nonsense! It’s obviously a flashlight.]
[Idiots. That thing’s a water pistol, right?]
[Isn’t this a women’s product?]
[Brother! I get you!]
[This thing is good, hehehe…]
[I’m reporting you, host.]
[While we’re on this topic, UP, won’t you consider evaluating female simulation robots?]
[Agreed! Your subscriber count will definitely explode! You’re not afraid of getting banned in any case.]
[Truthfully, UP, if you have a conscience, you should give us some adult benefits.]
[Strongly request for the review of adult items!]
[Strongly request for the review of adult items!]
[Strongly request…]
Chen Yu’s complexion darkened as he looked at the barrage of bullet comments flowing across his watch’s screen. Forcefully returning to the main topic, he said, “That’s right! Everyone guessed it! This product is the legendary lightsaber!”
After saying so, Chen Yu opened the instruction manual and hurriedly scanned through it. He then explained, “The lightsaber’s full name is the High-frequency Lightsaber. Its hilt is made of t.i.tanium and an ergonomic shape. The grip is non-slip, shockproof, and comfortable to hold in the palm.
“The blade of the lightsaber is composed of plasma bound by a strong magnetic field, and the length and width of the blade can be freely adjusted. According to the instructions, the blade is indestructible and cuts iron like mud. As for the lightsaber’s manufacturer and production year, as this is an additional review, I cannot elaborate on this.”
Pa.s.sing the instruction manual to Little Peach, Chen Yu took a few steps forward and gripped the lightsaber with both hands. He then faced the camera and said, “I will now activate this lightsaber and thoroughly test whether it is truly ‘indestructible!’”
After saying so, he promptly pushed down on the hilt’s switch.
Buzz!
A strange, buzzing sound appeared!
In the next moment, a hot and dazzling beam of light suddenly emerged from the upper-end of the hilt. Looking from the camera’s perspective, it was as if the beam had cleaved Chen Yu’s upper body in two…
