Chapter 61 – Sir, Times Have Changed (2)

“Next up, we will be testing it on more exciting targets.”

With his left hand carrying the 404 Heat Ray Gun, Chen Yu stretched his right hand out of the camera’s view and grabbed all sorts of items.

There was a tattered wooden box, a rusty iron frame, a discarded lithium battery, broken pieces of thick glass, and small granite pieces. He then placed these items on five separate bricks.

With that done, he aimed the Heat Ray Gun’s sights at the wooden box before pulling on the trigger.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

The circular structure in the gun barrel rapidly rotated. And the instant Chen Yu released his finger from the trigger, a red beam flashed before the camera once more!

Poof…

The cuboid wooden box instantly vanished out of existence, leaving behind only a few wisps of smoke…

[Crap!]

[Crap!]

[Crap! This youngster!]

[Crap!]

[You bunch of uncultured swine! Crap!]

[My friends and I are both shocked. My friends and I are both shocked.]

[UP! You’ve just paved the way for the military industry’s future. ( ͡°͜ʖ͡°)]

[I don’t believe this, I don’t believe this, I don’t believe this…]

[Friend, have you heard of peace before?]

Even after gasifying the wooden box, Chen Yu did not stop his performance. Shifting the gun barrel toward the lithium battery, he pulled the trigger once more.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

When the red beam flashed before the camera, the lithium battery transformed into red liquid without sparks or flames.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

Another red beam cut through space and transformed the rusted iron frame into molten metal.

Afterward, it was the broken pieces of glass and pieces of granite. Neither of these two items lasted more than half a second before liquifying…

[I can’t hold it in anymore. Let me say this one last time! Crap!]

[Sir, times have changed.]

[Is this the end of an era?]

[Xiao Yan: “There must be a heavenly flame in there!”][1]

[I’m a professional editor. I can guarantee that no special effects were added to this video. I don’t know how the UP did it, but he really did instantaneously melted granite.”

[Thoughts horrified.]

[I feel that this gun is real…]

[Grow some brains! These are just special effects, alright? There’s no way humanity can invent such weapons even after 1,000 years of research, OK?! What a bunch of fools.]

[Ever since my house gained a Heat Ray Gun, the only thing left in it is the Heat Ray Gun.]

The heat given off by the molten liquid pooled on top of the bricks caused the temperature of the warehouse to rise by at least two degrees.

Raising his finger, Chen Yu flipped the 404 Heat Ray Gun’s safety switch back on. Breathing out a sigh of relief, he placed the gun on the review table and shook his somewhat sore arms. He then faced the camera and summarized his review.

“Truthfully, after reading the instruction manual of this weapon, I thought that I had already gained a general idea of the lethality of this Heat Ray Gun. However, after actually using it, I still cannot help but be astonished by its power. So long as a target is within visual range, even if the target is a skyscraper or a military bunker, it can be turned into molten iron with just the pull of a trigger. This weapon is genuinely terrifying. I can only lament that human beings are quite desperate when it comes to seeking methods to destroy themselves.

“Moreover, this is only a weapon that came from 400 years into the future. If it is 500 years, 1,000 years, 2,000 years, 3,000 years… To what extent will human technological development progress? Particularly, in the weapons department, just how far will humans reach? Everyone, we will wait and see. In the days to come, through product reviews, I will continue letting everyone get a glimpse of the human world’s future.”

After saying so, Chen Yu crossed his fingers.

“Well, then. This is the end of today’s review. I would like to thank the Kelmei Arms Company for providing me with this technological product. From next week onwards, I will start conducting my reviews through livestreams. I will also be evaluating products of much higher technological standards. As for the exact time for the livestreams, please pay close attention to my home page on Bilibili for more information.

“We will meet again…next week!”

While covered in a tide of bullet comments, the screen plunged into darkness.

The view was over.

…

After watching his video, Chen Yu exited Bilibili’s application in satisfaction.

The review video this time was similarly of very high quality. Notably, after having experienced making several review videos, both his eloquence and rhythm had improved significantly.

Buzz… Buzz, buzz…

A moment later, Chen Yu’s phone started vibrating.

Unlocking his phone, Chen Yu noticed that he had received a message from the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s salesperson. Immediately, he opened up his chat window with her.

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen Yu, you have perfectly passed your probation period. On behalf of the Transdimensional Marketing Company, I have sent you the official partnership application. The new contract has already been delivered to your house, so please inspect it.”]

[Chen Yu: “But my true subscriber count still hasn’t broken through the 50,000-mark. If you pass me now, what about my robot?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Please rest assured, Mr. Chen. We are only pre-signing the contract. So long as your subscriber count reaches 50,000 before 9 A.M. next Monday, it will still count toward your probation period’s results.”]

[Chen Yu: “Oh, I understand. I’ll head back home to sign the contract now.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Very well.”]

Storing away his phone, Chen Yu took a look at his surroundings. He then raised his hand and said, “Teacher, toilet.”

Sending Chen Yu a glance, the mathematics teacher said, “Go ahead.”

“Thank you, teacher.”

“Hold up! Why are you bringing your bag to the toilet?”

“…There’s paper in my bag.”

“Chen Yu! Are you thinking of skipping class again?!” Angrily slamming his table, the math teacher said, “Don’t go too far!”

“Teacher, what are you thinking? Why would I skip class?”

“Then why are you carrying your bag?”

“Fine, fine, fine.” Shrugging, Chen Yu placed down his bag. He then pulled out his mathematics textbook and waved it around, saying, “I’ll just take the paper, alright?”

“Go.” The math teacher shooed off Chen Yu in annoyance. He then turned back to the blackboard and continued writing down mathematical formulas. However, a few seconds later, his body suddenly froze up as realization dawned upon him. He then bent down and removed one of his leather shoes before angrily charging out of the classroom while shouting, “Chen Yu! Get the hell back here!!”

…

Chen Yu was wearing the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes. The mathematics teacher naturally couldn’t catch up to him.

Moreover, Chen Yu could sense that his physique had transformed. Now, he felt as if he was 10 kilograms lighter than before.

The NE Sodium Gene Agent was finally starting to display its effects.

After just eight minutes of running, Chen Yu had arrived back home. Currently, however, nobody was home.

“Mom should’ve gone out to play mahjong again, right?”

Ever since he had started earning money through doing video editing work, the economic pressure his family faced had lessened significantly. His father no longer needed to work overtime constantly, and his mother no longer needed to work part-time.

Now, he could be considered to have genuinely changed his family, or at least a part of it…

Walking into his room, Chen Yu immediately noticed the white box sitting in his room.

Hurriedly approaching the box and tearing off the seal on it, Chen Yu discovered three items inside the box.

Sitting in the middle of the box was a contract document labeled D-rank Official Product Marketing Contract, on the left was a watch, and on the right was a small, glass ball. Both the watch and the glass ball had an instruction manual prepared underneath them.

Pulling out the two instruction manuals first, Chen Yu quickly realized what the two items were.

The watch was an item named “Transdimensional Marketing Company’s Custom Personal Terminal.” The terminal came with an invisibility function and various other functions. It was mainly used to browse information and operating tools during livestreams.

As for the glass ball, its full name was “Transdimensional Marketing Company’s Custom Camera.” It was capable of doing 360° video shoots, and it came with functions such as night vision, anti-gravity levitation, and optical stealth. It also possessed its own self-encoding function and real-time translation function for all languages. The camera was meant to be used for his livestreams.

Placing down the instruction manuals, Chen Yu picked up the watch and weighed it with his hand. “How light.”

After carefully observing the watch for some time, Chen Yu wore it on his right wrist. The moment he did so, the watch automatically powered up and texts started flashing on its screen.

[DNA verification in process.]

[Verification successful.]

[Welcome to our company’s personal terminal, Mr. Chen.]

[Initializing.]

[Initialization complete.]

[Please select three platforms to livestream from…]

After the six lines of text flowed by, the watch’s screen displayed the logos of over a hundred livestreaming platforms.

After giving the matter some thought, Chen Yu tapped his finger on three logos.
