Chapter 165: True Bigshot
Chapter 165 – True Bigshot
“I’m only giving two of these 32 underground shelters to you.” Pointing at the two crossed-out circles with the pen, Chen Yu reiterated, “These two are yours. You’ll need to share the rest with the other countries.”
“B-But… Our mountain…” The old man’s eyes widened in surprise. However, he hesitated to continue speaking.
“Your mountain?” Looking at the flattened ground outside the window, Chen Yu asked, “What mountain?”
The old man: “…”
“Well?” Straightening his mask, Chen Yu asked, “Do you want them, or not?”
“Yes! Yes, yes, yes!”
“Good.” Patting the old man’s shoulder, Chen Yu earnestly said, “There are just 32 shelters. Getting two is already a lot. There are still plenty of countries waiting for their share. You can’t be thinking of monopolizing the shelters, right?”
Hearing this, the old man’s complexion paled. Hurriedly, he shook his head and said, “No! Certainly not!”
[Lololol.]
[I love how shameless the Up is.]
[The remaining 30 shelters belong to our China!]
[Hahaha, I’m dying from laughter.]
“I knew your country has the best international spirit!” After making a perfunctory remark, Chen Yu picked up the paper and started drawing on it in front of the camera. “The government officials watching the livestream, open your eyes and ears. I’ll only say this once.”
After a short pause, Chen Yu started speaking in a stricter tone, “Starting from this side of the circle, this shelter will be given to America, this one will go to Britain, this will go to Russia, this will go to France, this will go to Korea…”
Amidst the various government officials’ nervous gaze, Chen Yu quickly distributed 27 of the remaining 30 shelters.
“There are three left. This is a little troublesome.” Chen Yu scratched his head in irritation. “There are no countries left to a.s.sign to these shelters. j.a.pan is supplying the precious venue, so it’s only right for it to get an extra spot. As for the rest, no matter who I give it to, everyone else will feel dissatisfied. Since that’s the case, let’s just give both two China.”
The old man: “…”
The livestream’s two million viewers: “…”
As a globally-oriented UP, all of his actions should exceed the norm.
Through observing his three little sisters since young, he came to understand that while humans weren’t worried about getting less of something, they did worry about being treated unfairly. If he had too many “bad” biases, it would undoubtedly cause a severe rebound.
After returning the paper to the old man, Chen Yu reverted to a calm tone as he said, “Of course, your country is the host. I still need to seek your opinion on this matter. May I know if you have any opinions on my decision?”
“…No.”
“We’ll go with this arrangement, then.”
Turning around, Chen Yu faced the camera and swept his haori into the air. “That’s it for the shelter allocation. Every shelter can have up to 10 research personnel only. Besides the selected personnel, n.o.body else is permitted to be within two kilometers of the research site! Whichever country disobeys this rule…”
Deliberately lowering his voice, Chen Yu said, “Will have their qualifications revoked immediately.”
[How arrogant…]
[Boss, you’re awesome! (voice cracking)]
[Boss, you’re awesome! (voice cracking)]
[Host, you’re the ruler of the world!]
[Coolest UP in history.]
[Awesome, awesome, awesome!]
[6969…]
It was inconvenient to move the metal T-rex about, and hiding it was also impossible. Rather than have the various governments trying to spy on him, he might as well host an “exhibition” and let everyone research it together.
Moreover, now that the various governments had benefited from him, they would be more inclined to be “polite” to him. Otherwise, he could simply retrieve the benefits he offered, and n.o.body would be able to object to his actions. After all, his ident.i.ty currently still remained a secret to everyone.
Meanwhile, as the various governments gradually got used to his domineering ways of distributing benefits, he would also gradually gain more “speaking rights.” This, in turn, would allow him to gain influence over the world and become a bigshot that n.o.body could ignore…
This was the means of control and balancing he learned through dealing with his three little sisters.
So long as he dealt with the various countries’ governments like how he dealt with his little sisters, he would definitely rise to prominence.
Great wisdom. What great wisdom I have…
While secretly lamenting over his big brain, Chen Yu faced the camera and continued, “As an ordinary human being, I hope that mankind can develop and grow. Hence, I have shared this valuable research opportunity with all of mankind. I also hope that everyone can obey the rules and progress together.
“The rules are simple.” Stretching out four fingers, Chen Yu said, “One: All research members are only allowed to conduct their research in the outer perimeter. You are permitted to collect materials, but each shelter cannot contain more than 10 grams. Otherwise, your qualification will be revoked.
“Two: Research results can be shared and exchanged. However, you are not allowed to secure the research results of others through unscrupulous means. Otherwise, your qualification will be revoked.
“Three: The members of each shelter must be a citizen of the shelter’s allocated country. If any country tries to coerce others into giving up their slots, they will have their qualifications revoked.
“Four: Anyone who is dissatisfied with the arrangement will have their qualifications revoked. Just pack up and go.”
Lowering his hand, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before continuing, “Well, that’s it for now. Only four rules, though I might add more in the future. I hope everyone can unite peacefully and make outstanding contributions to mankind’s technology, development, and culture.
“I always believe that compared to people of the future, our modern civilization is filled with much greater hope.
“Why? Because we are the ones that have created the path they walk.”
After saying so, Chen Yu crossed his fingers as usual.
“That’s it for today’s review. Although I feel very reluctant, we must still say our goodbyes.
“Firstly, I would like to thank the Haqiu Arms Company for supplying us with this Type-K Beast Armor. Its quality is excellent, and its performance is powerful. I hope I have more opportunities to see your company’s products in the future.
“Secondly, I would like to thank my viewers. It is only because of your support that my reviews can get better and better. I hope everyone can spread the word of my channel offline so that we have more viewers for the next official livestream, and my access level will rise higher.”
[Next time definitely.]
[Next time definitely. +1]
[Next time definitely. +2]
[Don’t leave me!!]
[I would like to sacrifice my little brother in exchange for a 10-minute extension of your livestream.]
[It’s over?]
After putting on the watch Little Peach handed to him, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, “Once my access level is increased, I will bring even more impressive and magical technological products for everyone to see.
“This has been Transdimensional Review’s official livestream. Let us meet again…
“Next month!”
After saying his closing lines, Chen Yu turned off the livestream without hesitation.
The screens of the 2.31 million viewers instantly turned dark.
“A perfect finish.”
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Chen Yu moved his shoulders around. He then turned toward the old man beside him and raised his eyebrows, asking, Hey, old man, you’re still here?”
“Huh? Ah! I’ll leave right away! Right away!” After snapping out of his daze, the old man hurriedly bowed and left.
“Oh, take your pen with you.”
“Thank you.”
Handing over the pen, Chen Yu smiled and said, “Once more, I would like to thank your country for your help and for providing me with a venue today. I truly apologize for the problems I have caused to the residents living in the town.”
“It doesn’t matter. It is our honor for you to review your advanced technology in our country,” the old man said as he executed a 90-degree bow.
“Oh, I see.” Nodding, Chen Yu said, “I’ll come again next time, then.”
The old man: “?!!”
