Chapter 217: Seventh Official Livestream! (1)
Chapter 217 – Seventh Official Livestream! (1)
Sunday, 8:40 AM:
In the prosperous metropolis of New York, United Nations Headquarters, inside Building B’s 15th-floor Observer Conference Hall…
Boom!
The conference hall’s thick wooden doors opened, and everyone inside the room promptly turned to look at the door.
The next moment, the middle-aged team leader from China’s special situation team walked into the hall with a group of people. The group had their chests held high as they made their way across the red carpet. After arriving at the east side of the round table, the middle-aged team leader took his seat.
“You’re late,” the representative of America’s special situation team solemnly said. “The pre-meeting has already ended.”
“My team and I had some impromptu matters we needed to deal with personally, so we came late by an hour and a half. I apologize for that,” the middle-aged team leader said as he stood up and nodded to everyone in the conference hall. “According to the rules, this is allowed. If it’s convenient, can you tell us the pre-meeting’s content?”
“We discussed the specific parameters of the black hole,” another government’s representative calmly answered. “We can’t get any results without your side’s participation.”
“I’m really sorry, but this isn’t within the scope of my responsibilities and authority.” Sitting down again, the middle-aged team leader turned on the microphone before him and said, “The Observer Foundation’s goal is to observe Transdimensional Review’s and its UP’s situation. All other irrelevant matters are beyond the scope of our discussion and research. If you really wish to discuss this topic, Building A is hosting a conference on humanity’s unity. Those who are interested can participate in it.”
“In that case, let’s discuss a relevant topic.” America’s representative also picked up his microphone and spoke in fluent Chinese, “According to the Observer Foundation’s member guidelines, all members have an obligation and responsibility to share information relating to Transdimensional Review. Your side did not comply with these rules.”
“About half a month ago, our side has already shared all the information we know, including our analysis data, team member information, and organizational structure to the Foundation for review. We have also smoothly passed the preliminary review. How can you accuse us of not complying with the rules?”
“But… What about Transdimensional’s UP’s information?” a representative asked, going straight to the point.
At this question, the conference hall instantly became deathly silent as everyone turned to stare at the middle-aged team leader.
Placing both hands on the wooden table, the middle-aged team leader spoke in a calm and steady tone, “We have also spent a lot of effort into trying to identify Transdimensional’s UP. However, currently, aside from knowing that he might be from China’s Liao Province and Shan Province, we haven’t uncovered any further information.”
“Don’t you find your words to be laughable?” Another country’s representative squinted his eyes and interjected, “Transdimensional Review’s host is a Chinese citizen. Based on his accent, behavior, and lighting in his first few review videos, you can easily identify him. After several months, even we know he is living in Jinzhou City. Yet, you’ve extended your search radius to two provinces. Isn’t that laughable?”
Over 20 government teams were present in the hall, yet three teams had targeted their team as soon as they entered. The middle-aged team leader knew that these people were targeting them, and this outcome was also within his expectations. After all, no matter how one looked at the situation, China definitely held an overwhelming advantage in the Observer Foundation.
However, he was a leader in China’s secret service system. He also received the support of many professionals before attending today’s meeting.
“If even you managed to analyze that Transdimensional’s UP is residing in Jinzhou, how could we not figure it out as well? However, don’t forget that we are observing a surreal individual who wields future technology that is decades, centuries, or even millenniums ahead of us. Do you really think that such an individual will make it so easy for us to discover his true identity? No matter how you look at it, be it logically or emotionally, this isn’t possible.”
Pausing momentarily, the middle-aged team leader’s gaze sharpened as he continued, “Based on the confrontations we have with each other thus far, we can tell that Transdimensional’s UP is a meticulous, knowledgeable, and intelligent person. Also, based on how he manipulated the research teams in Japan after the fifth official livestream, we can determine that he is an extreme egoist capable of portraying different emotions and personalities, open-minded, confident, calm, and cautious. However, he doesn’t lack righteousness, and he has a concise view of the universe, science, human nature, and society. No matter how you look at it, he is outstanding both inside and outside…
“Are you sure that such an individual would leave such obvious clues for us to discover?”
The middle-aged team leader’s speech immediately silenced everyone in the conference hall. Particularly, the many scholars and assistants standing outside the conference table nodded their heads in agreement.
In reality, everyone present was aware that Transdimensional Review’s UP couldn’t be a simple existence, much less a dimwit that left a trail of clues leading to his identity. After all, there was no way an organization that wielded so many advanced technologies would choose a fool to serve as its representative.
From ancient times until now, this had remained an unchanging truth.
“Cough.”
After waiting for the discussions in the hall to fade away, the middle-aged team leader lightly coughed and revealed a smile. “If we really did identify Transdimensional’s UP, we wouldn’t have bothered joining the Observer Foundation. Our side also wishes to lend everyone’s strength to monitor his every action, ensuring that he doesn’t have a negative impact on mankind. As for his identity…
“Honestly, unless the UP takes the initiative to expose himself, with our current abilities, exposing him will be nigh impossible.”
America’s representative couldn’t help but feel complex emotions about this situation, and he subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.
Now that China’s representative had already spoken to such an extent, it was no longer suitable for him to continue his persecution.
Not to mention, China’s team had cleverly chosen a delicate time to arrive. After all, Transdimensional Review’s livestream was starting soon, and they still needed to spare 10 minutes for preparations…
“Hah…”
After secretly sighing, America’s representative took a deep look at the middle-aged team leader. He pressed the button next to his hand, turning on the hanging screen in the conference hall. “We will further discuss the issue of information sharing. It will be nine o’clock soon, so everyone should start making your respective preparations. Coordinate your teams, technical departments, and subordinate organizations while we wait for the livestream to start…”
…
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, Chen Yu’s bedroom:
Chen Yu currently wore a red robe, and he sat cross-legged on his bed with his eyes shut.
He had been sitting in this position for more than two hours now.
Both his mind and spirit were stable.
This would be his first official livestream since he had his access level upgraded to D+. According to experience, today’s product would definitely be a cut above all the products he had reviewed in the past.
If he didn’t find a way to calm himself before the livestream, the wait for the product’s arrival would definitely torture him to death.
“Little Peach, what time is it now?”
“Mr. Chen, it’s 8:57 already. Only three minutes to go,” Little Peach, who was standing by the bed, said. At this time, she had changed back into her cheongsam. Impatiently, she repeated, “We just need to wait three more minutes!”
“Three more minutes…” Chen Yu muttered before shutting his eyes again. He then silently counted in his mind,
One, two, four, five, six, twenty…
“…What time is it now?”
“It’s 8:57.”
“Huh? I counted to 1,300 already, so why is it still 57?”
Little Peach: “…”
“What time is it now?”
“It’s 8:58. Just two more minutes!”
“Two more minutes…”
Like a master taoist, Chen Yu sank his mind into his dantian as he slowly opened his eyes and raised his watch. Looking at the time, he said, “Why do I feel like a day has passed from all this waiting?”
