Chapter 151 – Foolish Humans (1)
Beep.
Beep…
With the indicator’s help, Chen Yu quickly found the Life Sphere hovering above Jupiter II.
Through the Life Sphere’s transparent walls, Chen Yu could clearly see the two astronauts hugging their own knees as they soaked in the sphere’s lubricating fluid. They also wore a bewildered look on their faces as they stared into the endless s.p.a.ce.
[I suddenly feel pity for them.]
[I’m breaking into tears, hahaha.]
[There’s no resistance in s.p.a.ce. If UP doesn’t rescue them, they’ll just slowly float across s.p.a.ce.]
[Sigh. The livestream is ending soon.]
[I enjoyed today’s episode.]
After flying up to the Life Sphere, Chen Yu made a few taps on the surface.
Thud, thud, thud.
“Anybody home?”
When the two astronauts heard the knocking sounds, they promptly turned toward the source.
“Hi.” Waving at the astronauts, Chen Yu said, “You guys are safe now.”
Unable to hold back their emotions anymore, the two astronauts immediately embraced each other and cheered out in excitement.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu hugged the Life Sphere and flew back to Jupiter II’s surface. Just as he was about to head through the Interstellar Portal, the two astronauts inside the sphere urgently knocked on the sphere.
“You guys still want to go out?” Pointing at the ice pillar that reached over a hundred kilometers in height, Chen Yu asked, “You want to collect that ice?”
In response, the astronauts nodded repeatedly.
“Okay.”
Finding the astronauts’ request to be troublesome and a waste of time, Chen Yu approached the ice pillar and took out the lightsaber. He then cut out a big chunk of ice and tossed it into the Life Sphere.
On the one hand, the astronauts had gone through a lot of trouble, even going as far as to risk their lives to collect a small group of samples.
On the other hand, Chen Yu had casually grabbed a bunch of samples…
The strong sense of contrast allowed everyone who was watching this scene to understand the importance of technology.
After arriving before the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu turned back to give the gigantic icicle one last look before leaving.
This epic piece of art would not disappear even after hundreds of millions of years.
This was the first stroke he had left on this universe.
He also believed it wouldn’t be long before he made his second stroke…
…
After sending off the two astronauts, Chen Yu returned to the top of Phoenix Mountain.
After adjusting the camera angle, he made his signature gesture and summarized the livestream. “Dear viewers in the livestream rooms, although the length of today’s additional livestream has exceeded my expectations, it is not at all boring. Despite being small in size, the Life Sphere has greatly satisfied our curiosity towards the world around us and allowed us to break through our limits.
“At this moment, I believe that not many people would continue treating the Life Sphere as a simple toy.
“Akutagawa Ryunosuke once said that humans would only show heroic courage when protecting their own lives.
“Meanwhile, the Life Sphere has provided us with courage in advance.”
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu spread out his arms.
“This has been Transdimensional Review. Thank you for watching and all the support you’ve shown. We will…
“Meet again.”
[Goodbye.]
[UP, you’re the ruler of the world!]
[Goodbye!]
[Husband! I hope to see you again tomorrow!]
[Bye bye.]
After turning off the livestream, Chen Yu’s spirit immediately relaxed, and he breathed out a sigh of relief.
“It’s finally over.”
“Today’s additional livestream lasted so long.” At this time, Little Peach approached Chen Yu and pointed at the Interstellar Portal, saying, “Let’s go home.”
“Mhm. Let’s go.” After nodding to Little Peach, Chen Yu turned toward the many soldiers nearby and cupped his hands, saying, “Thank you for your help today, everyone. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye!”
The soldiers responded powerfully in unison.
“W-Wait a minute.”
Just as Chen Yu was done establishing the spatial link and was about to leave together with Little Peach, a lone voice suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around suspiciously, Chen Yu could not help but be startled by who he saw. “c.r.a.p! Xiaomi Technology?!”
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Yu Qian forced a smile and asked, “I-Is there no part for me?”
“Why do you have such a weak presence?” Chen Yu asked as he held his forehead.
“I’ve been here the whole time.” Lowering his head, Yu Qian mumbled, “But it seems n.o.body noticed me…”
Chen Yu: “…”
…
Time pa.s.sed by quickly.
Jinzhou City, which was located in the northeastern region of China, grew increasingly colder.
Today was an ordinary Monday.
At 7:30 in the morning, the Chen family’s four siblings finished their breakfast and, under Chen Yu’s lead, left home together for school.
As usual, Chen Yu carried Chen Sanke’s schoolbag in his left hand, Chen Erke’s schoolbag in his right hand, Chen Yike’s schoolbag on his chest, and his own schoolbag on his back…
“It’s so cold.” Shrinking back her neck, Chen Yike said, “Humans should hibernate during the winter like brown bears. Why must we go to school?”
“Because there is only one type of brown bear.” Stretching out two fingers, Chen Yu said, “However, there are two types of humans.”
“Two types?” Chen Yike asked dubiously.
“There are northerners like us and southerners that live in the south. The south is especially warm, so people living there don’t need to hibernate. Since the southerners aren’t hibernating, we naturally wouldn’t hibernate either.”
“So, that’s the case!” Chen Erke exclaimed.
“So, that’s the case!” Chen Sanke exclaimed.
Chen Yike: “…Brother, can you stop talking nonsense? You’ll misguide little children.”
“Children must have unconstrained thinking to help them grow up healthily,” Chen Yu said, shrugging.
“Other people’s elder brothers are calm and mature,” Chen Yike stated, clicking her tongue. “You, on the other hand, are spouting nonsense all day long. You don’t look like an elder brother at all.”
Stopping his footsteps, Chen Yu scratched the back of his neck and asked, “Let me ask you, which family do you know has two children and disregards the family planning policy?”
“Why does our family have four children, then?” Chen Yike asked a question that struck the soul.
“…”
After remaining silent for a long time, Chen Yu nodded and said, “Yes, why does our family have four children?”
“…”
“…”
“Don’t ask.” After a moment, Chen Yu waved his hand and renewed his footsteps. “You’ll set yourself up if you ask.”
Chen Yike grew speechless.
After a short while, the Chen family’s four siblings arrived before a kindergarten.
Stopping, Chen Yu pa.s.sed the schoolbag in his left hand to Chen Sanke. He then gave his usual instructions, “Listen to the teacher, have fun, and pay attention to safety.”
“Mhm!” Chen Sanke nodded. She then resumed her footsteps, and clumsily walked forward.
“Wait a minute!” Seemingly thinking of something, Chen Yu stopped Chen Sanke.
“What is it?” Chen Sanke asked.
Chen Yu then pointed at the kindergarten’s iron gate and solemnly said, “You can have your fun, but do not ever lick the iron gate with your tongue. You can’t lick iron railings either.”
Hearing this, Chen Sanke blankly turned to look at the iron gate and tilted her head. “Why?”
“Your tongue will get frozen and stuck to the gate.” Once more, Chen Yu repeated, “Don’t lick the iron gate.”
“Nn.” Chen Sanke nodded in a blur.
“Alright, go to school.”
“Bye-bye, Big Brother.”
“Goodbye.”
Chen Sanke renewed her footsteps and marched toward the kindergarten.
However, when she arrived before the iron gate, she suddenly stopped, and idly stared at the gate.
“c.r.a.p!” Seeing this from afar, Chen Yu smacked his thigh and quickly rushed forward. “Third Eldest! Don’t-”
However, Chen Sanke quickly stretched out her tongue and got it stuck to the iron gate…
“-lick it…”
“Ha?” With her tongue stuck tightly to the iron gate, Chen Sanke glanced at Chen Yu with difficulty and asked, “Cahn’t ah eck et? (Can’t I lick it?)”
Chen Yu: “…”
Chen Yike: “…”
Chen Erke: “…”
The female kindergarten teacher standing by the entrance: “…”
