Chapter 15 – No Time for Talk! Get On!
Ding Dong Ding Dong…
The ringing of the school bell rang across the school, signifying that it was the end of the school day. At the same time, the students of Cla.s.s 2-2 shot up from their sleep. It only took half a second for the sleepy students to be in glowing spirits.
Among them, Chen Yu was the fastest to get up!
With the help of the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes, all it took was a stride for Chen Yu to jump over the table. Before anyone could react to what was going on, Chen Yu jumped out of the window at lightning speed, leaving behind a gust of wind.
The form teacher sitting at the lectern was at a loss. “What just whooshed by?” He lifted his spectacles, puzzled.
…
Bang!
Chen Yu jumped down from the second level, landing on the ground steadily. He experienced a less intense shock.
“The shock absorption is amazing!” Chen Yu gasped, praising the basketball shoes’ performance before sprinting toward the school gate at an extreme speed immediately. He was in a rush to get home to look at the feedback for the video.
Just then, a PE teacher, who was practicing basketball by himself nearby, heard Chen Yu’s landing sound. He turned around right away to see Chen Yu sprinting off. His eyes lit up immediately.
“That fast? A good seedling!”
Without the slightest hesitation, the PE teacher threw the basketball away and paced up, chasing after Chen Yu. “Student over there! Hold up!”
Hearing the PE teacher’s voice, Chen Yu turned around to discover that he was being chased by a tall and strong teacher. a.s.suming that the teacher was here to lecture him for jumping out of the window, Chen Yu picked up his speed without hesitation.
“Hey, don’t run! Slow down, kid! Stop!”
In response to the PE teacher’s words, Chen Yu ran even faster.
With the additional boost of the basketball shoes, the difference between Chen Yu and the teacher’s speed was as different as night and day. In just thirty seconds, Chen Yu had dashed out of the school gate and turned left.
“Wait!” The PE teacher gritted his teeth and used up all his energy to go after Chen Yu. “Stop running! Stop there!”
“Is this teacher nuts?” Chen Yu found a short moment to look back at the “fierce and scary” muscular teacher, which left him puzzled and in a slight panic.
He had only jumped out of a window. His actions did not bring about any serious consequences. Was there a need to chase after him so intensely?
“Kid! Don’t run! What are you running for?!” the PE teacher yelled, ignoring the strange stares the pa.s.sersby were giving him. Picking up his speed, he shouted, “What are you running for?! I’m not going to beat you up!”
“He’s going to beat me up as well?”
Sprinting on the bustling street, all Chen Yu could faintly hear was the word “beat.” He was so scared that blood drained from his face. Chen Yu did not dare to stop at all now.
Vroom!
Just then, a policeman patrolling on his motorcycle saw the scene. Thinking that Chen Yu was a thief, he immediately made a turn and sped up. Under the growling of the engine, he made his way over to the PE teacher. “Get on!”
“Ah?”
The PE teacher stared at him blankly. “I’m… I’m just…”
“There’s no time for talk! Get on!”
The annoyed and stern expression on the policeman’s face made the PE teacher get on the motorcycle subconsciously.
“Sit tight! We’ll take him down together! Remember, hide behind me!”
“Ah? Ah! Okay!”
Vroom!
The policeman turned the throttle and put the police siren on, dashing for Chen Yu, who was slowly getting further from them.
Wee Woo… Wee Woo… Wee Woo…
Hearing the police siren behind him that was getting closer, Chen Yu nearly burst out in tears.
What was this?
He had only jumped out of a window!
Was there a need to call the police?!
“This is crazy… That guy’s insane…”Scared out of his wits, Chen Yu ran into any random alley that he saw. “Did I step on something expensive and break it?”
Realizing that he might have gotten into trouble, Chen Yu ignored the fact that his energy was draining away and pushed his speed to the maximum.
Wee Woo… Wee Woo…
Following Chen Yu, who was scuttling through different complex alleys, the policeman frowned. “Isn’t he a little too fast? Is he on the school’s relay team?”
Hearing him, the PE teacher on the backseat nodded his head hard. “Yes!” he said with excitement. “That’s why I’m having such a tough time chasing after him. Such a good seedling! A champion in the making!”
Squeak!
The motorcycle came to a sudden break. The policeman took off his helmet and turned to the PE teacher in utter disbelief. “What…did you say?” he stammered.
“Ah? I… I said that I’m after him because he’s fast….”
Policeman: “…”
PE teacher: “…”
After staring at each other for three seconds, the PE teacher was thrown off the motorcycle as the policeman put his helmet back on and turned the throttle furiously, leaving behind a puff of exhaust gas in the PE teacher’s face.
Cough… cough cough!
The PE teacher covered his nose and mouth, coughing furiously. He stared into the end of the alley, but Chen Yu was nowhere to be seen.
“He’s gone….”
The PE teacher stood rooted to the ground for a long time. He sighed regretfully and turned around immediately, making his way back to the school.
“The surveillance cameras! I must find that student!”
…
Despite hearing the distant police siren coming to an abrupt stop, Chen Yu continued sprinting for another minute. Only after he had run out of stamina did he slump against a big rock in the alley, panting heavily.
“I… I think I managed to escape….
“What the actual h.e.l.l was that…”
After a long rest, Chen Yu stood up with the help of the wall. He kneaded his aching calf muscles and took out his phone, taking a glance at the time before going toward the direction of his home.
“What did I step on just now? I didn’t feel anything when I landed…”
About ten minutes later, an utterly confused and edgy Chen Yu reached home. He unlocked the door and walked into the entrance hall.
Hearing him, Mother Chen, who was busy cooking, walked out of the kitchen. She firstly took a look at Chen Yu’s messy hair and then the bottom of his trousers that were stained with water and mud. “Were you chased by a dog?” She frowned.
“…Mhmm.”
“You really were chased by a dog?!” Mother Chen asked, astounded.
“Yeah.” Chen Yu nodded.
“What type of dog? Were you bitten?”
“A mad dog.” Worn out, Chen Yu changed into his slippers and walked into the living room. “But I’m fast, so nope.”
Chen Erke, who was in the living room, trotted over with eyes wide open. She had long arrived home from school. “Big brother, you were bitten by a dog?”
“It did not get me.” Not wanting to say more, Chen Yu waved his hand and walked into his room, shutting the door. I’ll take a short rest. Call me when it’s meal time.”
Plop!
Chen Yu spread his arms and legs wide on the bed. He shut his eyes to take a five minute rest. Afterward, he stood up and sat at his study table, opening his laptop.
Compared to the “small” incident that took place on his way home, Chen Yu was currently more concerned about how well his unboxing video was doing right now.
Twenty seconds later, the screen changed into the graphic user interface. Chen Yu immediately took control of his mouse and clicked into the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal application. He saw the changes in his [Profile] immediately.

“I have nine subscribers and eighty-three viewers now.”
After learning the two statistics that he wanted from [Profile], Chen Yu double-clicked his mouse and entered Bilibili’s account management platform under the marketing terminal’s privacy protection.
The statistics in the account management platform were way more detailed.

“I have 335 views but only 83 viewers?” Chen Yu was confused. “Did they watch the video multiple times? Or are viewers only counted when they finish the video?”
Chen Yu shrugged and went to watch his video.
The next minute, the Chen Yu with a Peking opera mask appeared on the screen.
A red bullet comment appeared at the top of the video.
