Chapter 114: Round and Round
Chapter 114 – Round and Round
After receiving the Spiral Ascending Aircraft, Chen Yu faced the camera and revealed an evil smile under his mask. He then wore the propeller on his head.
“Move away from me. Stay at least 300 meters away.”
“You need to be careful!” Little Peach said worriedly. “How about I take your place?”
“…If I let you do it, will I even have a chance of surviving?”
Little Peach: “…”
After shooing Little Peach away, Chen Yu fixed the aircraft’s three clamps onto his body. He then tightened his grip on the lightsaber’s hilt before powering it up and adjusting the blade’s length and width to their maximum.
Buzz!
Along with a strange buzzing sound, the one-meter-wide and forty-meter-long white beam appeared on the livestream’s 300,000 viewers’ monitors once more.
“Looking at my getup, I’m sure everyone can guess what I’m going to do next.” Pointing the 40-meter-long lightsaber forward, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, “So, I won’t dawdle any longer. Next, we’ll witness the most correct way of using the High-frequency Lightsaber.
“Take-off!”
Du~ Du Du~ Du, du, du, du…
As the propeller started spinning, the song Deja Vu[1] started playing in the background, igniting the atmosphere in the livestream rooms.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu also spun increasingly faster and flew increasingly higher along with this exciting rhythm.
The 40-meter lightsaber tightly held in his hands also rotated in sync with his body, creating a blurry white vortex that disintegrated the hill beside him layer after layer.
In front of the lightsaber, both mountains and forests vanished.
Amidst the clouds of smoke and dust, the white vortex looked especially dazzling.
[Too amazing!]
[696969.]
[Awesome!]
[This… c.r.a.p.]
[??]
[???]
[Isn’t this Blade Fury?][2]
[This is the bugged version of Blade Fury.]
[Host, you’re awesome!]
[The unconventional ideas humans come up with…]
[UP, you look so cool.]
[Demacia!][1]
[Time is money, my friend.]
[The magic of love goes round and round.][4]
[Thinking of you day and night elates me.]
[But I’m afraid this love will last only a moment.]
[In the blink of an eye…]
[Break!]
[Host, it’s time to stop…]
…
Ten minutes later, the lightsaber vortex disappeared, and Chen Yu’s spinning boy slowly descended from the air, landing back on the ground.
“A-Are you fine?”
Little Peach hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chen Yu out of the three clamps.
“I’m… Ugh…” After removing the propeller on his head, Chen Yu took in deep breaths repeatedly. Facing the camera, he raised the lightsaber’s hilt and said, “Look at the stripe. The lightsaber’s energy has been completely depleted. Hence, that will be it for the High-frequency Lightsaber’s review.
“In terms of performance, the lightsaber has thoroughly exceeded my expectations. This is especially true after the lightsaber’s blade has been adjusted to its maximum length and width. It has both lethality and range. From my knowledge, I find it difficult to imagine that there is any object capable of resisting this lightsaber’s a.s.sault.
“In conclusion, this melee version of the 404 Heat Ray Gun is unstoppable in 2020. If paired with the Spiral Ascending Aircraft… Believe me, you’ll be the most eye-catching person on the battlefield.”
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at the ruined hill behind him. He then crossed his index fingers and said, “That will be it for tonight’s additional livestream.
“Before we end the stream, though, I have two announcements to make.
“Firstly, my access level has been increased. Next month’s official livestream, I will introduce a much more excellent product than any you have seen before, so don’t forget to wait in front of your screens ahead of time. If you miss the stream, you might very well miss witnessing a historical moment.
“Secondly, for this month, I am confident I will conduct at least one more additional livestream. And during this livestream, I will be introducing a very, very interesting product. While this product isn’t incredibly high-tech and cannot be considered superior compared to the products I’ve reviewed before, I promise that you will be interested in it.
“Alright, that’s enough from me. Lastly, I wish to thank everyone for the attention and support you have shown. Only with your presence would my reviews hold any meaning.
“Well, then.
“Farewell!”
After bidding goodbye to his audience, Chen Yu turned off his livestream without hesitation.
Simultaneously, as everyone’s screens turned black, a dense swarm of bullet comments also started flowing by…
…
Beijing, the office of the special situation team’s team leader:
The middle-aged team leader shut his eyes tiredly as he closed his laptop’s screen.
Tactfully, Xiao Li, who stood at a side, hurriedly stepped forward and helped ma.s.sage the team leader’s temples.
“Ah…”
The middle-aged team leader sighed comfortably.
“Leader, you look exhausted. You should rest earlier.”
“I just took some medication, so I can’t fall asleep,” the team leader said as he slowly shook his head. “How is the progress of those two tunnel-digging fools?”
“Their progress is somewhat slow,” Xiao Li answered. “They are frequently coming into contact with the several surrounding ‘squads.’ It seems they are planning some sort of action. However, they should dig into Chen Yu’s warehouse by tomorrow at the latest.”
“Be ready for it.”
“Yes. I’ve already made the necessary arrangements.”
“How is the replacement of Sixth High’s teachers coming along?”
“Aside from the teachers Chen Yu frequently comes into contact with, we’ve already replaced one-third of the school’s remaining teachers.”
“That’s enough. You can stop now.” The middle-aged team leader nodded approvingly. “We can’t be too obvious. Also, make sure to occupy the surrounding area.”
“Please rest a.s.sured. We’ve already replaced many people residing in the three nearby residential districts and one commercial district. As for the remaining residents, we have put them under surveillance. We have even apprehended three wanted internet criminals.”
“Your work lets me rest easy. By the way, what do you think of Transdimensional Review’s additional livestream today?”
“…” After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Li answered, “I don’t have any opinions. I only know that ‘some people’ will once more state that Chen Yu will become increasingly dangerous if we do not apprehend him now.”
“Those people aren’t exactly wrong either. Chen Yu himself has already stated that his access level has been increased and that he will reveal even more advanced technology starting next month. He will indeed become increasingly dangerous if that is true, even though he is already plenty dangerous.”
Opening his eyes, the middle-aged team leader picked up a burning cigarette on the table and placed it into his mouth. After taking a puff, he continued, “Everyone is worried, panicked even. It’s just that some people are more courageous and dare to cut off all means of retreat. We, on the other hand, are cowardly. We are worried about too many things and dare not take risks.”
“However, we have already a.n.a.lyzed Chen Yu’s psychological portrait many times. He shouldn’t engage in malicious sabotage and-”
“That is only a possibility,” the middle-aged man said, cutting off Xiao Li’s words. Exhaling a mouthful of smoke, he continued, “Just the act of letting an individual get their hands on so many frightening technologies already poses a significant danger. Moreover, he is only a high school student. He also has a somewhat reckless behavior. Even if he is subjectively innocent, he might bring about a major disaster due to operational errors.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li went silent for a moment before saying, “Leader, I’m sure the higher-ups would’ve considered this.”
“In reality, if not for that letter Chen Yu left for us, the higher-ups would’ve long since allowed me to make contact with Chen Yu.”
“W-What was written in the letter?”
The middle-aged team leader suddenly stopped smoking. Turning around, he stared at Xiao Li with a sharp gaze.
“…”
Startled, Xiao Li subconsciously stepped back.
For a moment, a depressive silence overwhelmed the office.
After a long time, the middle-aged man extinguished his cigarette and shut his eyes once more. “How can you make such a low-level mistake.”
“Leader…”
“Don’t make me misunderstand.”
“Yes…”
