Chapter 386: Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (1)
Chapter 386 – Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (1)
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had gone by, and the day for Transdimensional Review’s official livestream to be hosted came around once more.
After the artificial intelligence crisis, Chen Yu had truly become an existence known by everyone on Earth.
The advantage of this situation was that every subsequent livestream he hosted from now on would bring in a significant amount of points!
The disadvantage was that he would no longer be able to raise his access level.
Only by waiting for the human race to continue growing and multiplying would he have a chance to raise his access level again. Meanwhile, this process could potentially take centuries to achieve.
This way, whenever he reviewed a new product, said product would immediately be exposed to the entire human race. And by the time the product’s manufacture date arrived, under his influence, the manufacturer would be able to instantly gain a large number of customers.
Perhaps, the reason why the Transdimensional Marketing Company had set such a rule was so that it could harvest a parallel s.p.a.ce-time for profits for as long as possible…
“In other words, from a capitalist’s perspective, I will always be a tool for the advertising industry?” Lying on his bed, Chen Yu let his thoughts wander. “Should I find a chance to establish a company myself and become a boss in the future?”
“Mr. Chen, it’s eight-thirty now. You only have half an hour left, so you should start preparing.”
“No need to hurry.” Switching a lying posture, Chen Yu said, “Time is something that moves slower the closer it gets to a critical moment.”
“Alright, then.” After preparing Chen Yu’s outfit and mask, Little Peach sat beside Chen Yu and asked, “You and Pikachu talked mysteriously before. What were you talking about?”
“We were talking about how to thoroughly exterminate HAL.”
“Can’t you tell me about it?”
“Of course…not.” Sitting up, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes at Little Peach and said, “The sword to save humanity is now in my hands. If I told you and you leaked it, everything would be over.”
“My mouth is tightly sealed!” Unwilling to submit, Little Peach said, “I once took an exam for you. I concealed myself perfectly, and not one person noticed that I was a robot.”
“Bulls.h.i.t. From how I see it, I suspect it was at that time my ident.i.ty got exposed.” Getting out of bed, Chen Yu stood up and changed into a brand new set of hanfu. “As always, I’ll leave the house to you. Don’t get tricked by HAL.”
“Didn’t Pikachu say that based on the AI’s logical operation, she wouldn’t attack your family?”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry. Not to mention, HAL might not be my only enemy. Mhm, the clothes you prepared today are pretty nice.”
“Fans in the livestream rooms keep commenting that you would look good in hanfu, so I bought a set.”
“Mhm.” Nodding, Chen Yu put on his mask and looked at the time. “There’s less than 20 minutes remaining. I’ll be taking my leave first. Stay sharp.”
“Okay~”
With a flick of his long sleeves, Chen Yu pushed open his door and instantly crossed several thousand kilometers, arriving inside the Super Floating Castle’s Headmaster’s Tower.
Buzz…
At this time, Chen Yu’s phone suddenly vibrated, indicating that he had received a WeChat message from a priority contact.
“It’s another big product today?”
After gesturing an ‘OK’ to Little Peach, Chen Yu closed the Interstellar Portal and pulled out his phone.
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Congratulations, Mr. Chen, you have been promoted. Your access level has gone from C- to C. You can now increase the number of platforms you broadcast on.”]
[Chen Yu: “I recall that I can start broadcasting live on a TV channel once I reach C-level, right?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes. Do you have a specific channel on your mind? If not, our team will select the most suitable one for you.”]
[Chen Yu: “No need. Just go with CCTV.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Okay, please wait a moment.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “It’s linked. Your livestream today will be automatically broadcasted on the channel.”]
[Chen Yu: “…”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Do you have any other questions, Mr. Chen?”]
[Chen Yu: “I was only joking! Why did you link it so quickly?!”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “:)”]
[Chen Yu: “Can I change it?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “It’s already linked. ❤️”]
[Chen Yu: “Fine. Let’s not talk about this. Is the 13th episode’s product big or small? Will I need an open s.p.a.ce?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “That won’t be necessary this time. You can receive the product at your current location. Do you have any other questions?”]
[Chen Yu: “None. I’ll just wait for the product to arrive.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “In that case, I wish you a smooth livestream. Goodbye.”]
After holding his phone and pondering for a moment, Chen Yu quickly typed another message.
[Chen Yu: “Wait, I have another question.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Please speak.”]
[Chen Yu: “That blue supergiant you sent me during the last episode. You guys prepared it in advance and sent it to me on purpose, right?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “For the sake of maximizing the advertising effect, all products used for your official reviews have been prepared by the team in advance.”]
[Chen Yu: “You sure?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Of course! Mr. Chen, what are you trying to express?”]
[Chen Yu: “Nothing. I understand now. Goodbye.”]
Ignoring the other party’s reply, Chen Yu turned off his phone and sat on the wooden chair nearby. He then quietly waited for time to pa.s.s.
8:50
8:55
8:58…
Very quickly, nine o’clock arrived.
Exactly on time, a s.p.a.ce-time wormhole opened inside the main hall.
Boom!
Chen Yu immediately activated the E·I Force Field and floated into the air. He was prepared to flee at any time.
The last episode’s wormhole had left him with a significant psychological trauma…
Fortunately, the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff didn’t lie to him. After expanding to a one-meter radius, the wormhole stopped expanding. A white delivery box then squeezed out of the wormhole.
Thud!
The box landed on the ground with a m.u.f.fled noise, showing that its content wasn’t particularly heavy.
After waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Chen Yu turned off the force field and approached it. Once he was done inspecting it, he broke tradition and decided to open the box before the livestream.
“c.r.a.p! It’s heavy!”
After removing the tape, opening the lid, and grabbing the product inside the box, Chen Yu found that it was much heavier than he expected. Even with his current physique, he was just barely able to lift the object. “How dense is this material? If I received it in my bedroom, wouldn’t it break the floor?”
The product this time was a black, rectangular object that gave off a high-tech feeling.
There was a golden b.u.t.ton at the top of the box, and its four sides were inlaid with gla.s.s...o...b... Looking through the gla.s.s...o...b.., Chen Yu found that there were countless glittering stars inside the box.
Looking at the product, he couldn’t even begin to guess its purpose.
Boom!
After scanning the delivery box and finding nothing else in it, Chen Yu pressed the golden b.u.t.ton without hesitation.
“She said this thing is even more amazing than the blue supergiant… Let’s hope it doesn’t get me killed…”
Squeak!
While muttering to himself, Chen Yu finished powering up the machine. A “retro” virtual screen then unfolded before him.
[Inspecting the surrounding environment.]
[Do you wish to switch the operating language to Ancient Chinese?]
“Yes.”
[Switching complete.]
The prompt text disappeared, and rows of options appeared before Chen Yu one after another…
“…”
“…”
Suddenly, Chen Yu bellowed, “What the heck?!
“They’re really trying to exterminate everyone?!”
