Chapter 31 – I Am Just Slightly Interested

[Chen Yu: “Nuclear battery? Are you serious?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, is there a problem?”]

[Chen Yu: “Do you think I have a nuclear battery lying around? Where am I even going to find one?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “This is not within the sphere of our responsibilities.”]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “You can wait until the year 2105 when portable nuclear batteries come into existence. At that time, you can replace the batteries for your glasses.”]

[Chen Yu: “Are we even speaking the same language?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, do you still need help with anything?”]

[Chen Yu: “Yes!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Please ask.”]

[Chen Yu: “How long can this prepackaged nuclear battery last?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The Quantum Reading Glasses’ power consumption is extremely large. A standard KG1 Nuclear Battery can power the glasses for around 450 hours.”]

[Chen Yu: “How many days is that?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, why don’t you calculate it yourself?”]

[Chen Yu: “I’m too lazy to do that. Just tell me.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…Roughly 18 days.”]

[Chen Yu: “That short?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “There is a limit to the amount of work the brain can undertake. Normally, the longest possible session for using the quantum glasses is three hours a day. Even if you use the glasses every day, they will last you for more than half a year. Once you exhaust the battery, you can also choose to let us reclaim the glasses.”]

[Chen Yu: “I see. Also, will the power consumption increase together with the reading standard?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “That is correct, Mr. Chen.”]

[Chen Yu: “I understand.”]

Ending the conversation there, Chen Yu tossed his phone onto the bed and stood up. He then started setting up his studio. He moved his bed, stacked his table on top of it, and covered up his walls with bedsheets.

After working for about a dozen minutes, his studio was ready for filming.

“Brother!” At this time, a shout from Chen Yike suddenly came from outside Chen Yu’s room. “What are you doing there again?!”

“Why must you add ‘again’?” Chen Yu shouted back.

“You made a ruckus last Sunday too. Just what are you doing in there?”

“It’s none of your business. Don’t disturb me.”

Perking up his ears, Chen Yu made sure that Chen Yike had left before he took out his portable camera and set it on video shooting mode. He then put on the set of clothes he wore in the previous video and donned the opera mask to hide his face.

After making sure all the preparations were done, Chen Yu moved the white box that previously housed the Quantum Reading Glasses onto his makeshift table and started his review.

“Greetings, my fellow friends and viewers…”

After speaking up to this point, Chen Yu suddenly fell into a daze as he realized that he had yet to write the script. He hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and started drafting something.

A dozen minutes or so later, he completed his script and briefly read through it a few times. He then slapped his script onto the makeshift table and started speaking. “Greetings, my fellow friends and viewers. This is the second episode of Transdimensional Review. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for all the support you’ve shown for the first episode. The product I bring everyone today is the Quantum Reading Glasses manufactured by the Great Light Company in the year 2144…

“…Now that the introduction is done, let’s start the unboxing. Let me clarify this first: in order to evaluate the functionality of this product, I’ve previously unboxed it already. So, I’ll only be doing a simplified version of the unboxing now…

“…Wow! Kekekeke! Awesome! This is a

moment

that belongs solely to me!”

“…I’m sure everyone can see the books I’ve prepared here. I will now use these dice here to determine a page and use just one second to memorize the contents of the selected page. I will then recite the contents without looking or missing a word…”

An hour later, Chen Yu removed the Quantum Reading Glasses and massaged his temples in exhaustion before standing up to stop the camera.

As he had previous experience in doing a review, the recording session this time was much shorter. Even so, the Quantum Reading Glasses still placed too big of a strain on his mind. Hence, despite the shorter recording session, he ended up much more exhausted than he had during the last recording session.

“Crap, my head…”

After dragging his real table off his bed, Chen Yu sprawled on the bed and continuously massaged his aching head. Only after resting for nearly half an hour did he start to feel better. Now that he could think straight again, he stood up from his bed and burned his script. He then tidied his room.

Once he was done, he powered up his laptop and transferred his camera’s data to the laptop. With [Smart Editing]’s help, he quickly edited his video.

“This is truly convenient! With this, I think I can consider earning some money by helping others edit videos.”

After manually altering the frequency of his voice in the video and ensuring that there were no defects, Chen Yu uploaded the video to Bilibili and set it to air tomorrow at 9 A.M.

Due to the characteristics of the Quantum Reading Glasses, the review video this time was far less shocking when compared to the review video of the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory. Even so, it more than qualified as a review video.

Following which, Chen Yu exited Bilibili’s platform and tapped into the Marketing Terminal’s [Profile] tab.

[Name: Chen Yu]

[Access Level: E (Prohibited from Worldwide Livestreaming)]

[Subscribers: 8,156]

[Main Target: Complete at least two of four missions. (1/2)]

[Mission 1: Reach (129,572/500) viewers and (8,156/50) subscribers on the first advertisement. Mission complete.]

[Mission 2: Reach (129,572/5,000) viewers and (8,156/500) subscribers on the second advertisement. Mission incomplete.]

…

Upon seeing the contents of the second mission, Chen Yu was stunned. Hurriedly, he contacted the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s saleswoman.

[Chen Yu: “I’ve met the targets of the second mission already!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “That’s correct, Mr. Chen. I’ve said this before: the larger your fanbase is, the easier it will be for you to survive the probation period.”]

[Chen Yu: “This is no longer a problem of difficulty. I’ve already met the requirements to pass the probation period.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Indeed, but you still have to try your best to complete all four missions. That way, your advertisement potential will be raised to the highest possible rank, and you will receive all sorts of benefits. My company will even prepare a special gift for you if you succeed in completing all four missions.”]

[Chen Yu: “What kind of special gift?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “There are three options for the special gift, and you can choose one of them. The first option is a Multifunctional Mineral Detection Vehicle. The second option is a Full Coverage VR World Login Device. The third option is a Romantic Partner Simulation Robot that comes with an AI capable of connecting with the internet.”]

[Chen Yu: “Romantic Partner? Is that the robot listed on the first product catalog you sent me? The one made by Daisy Rays Daily Products Co., Ltd?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “That’s right. It seems you are quite aware of this product. Do you have a need for it? If so, we can apply for it for you ahead of time.”]

[Chen Yu: “What do you mean by ‘have a need’? I am currently a high school student that is focused on studying. Why would I possibly need this nonsense? I am just

slightly

interested.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Oh, apologies.”]

[Chen Yu: “However, since you’ve already said so, not choosing it would seem like I’m pretending to be upright. So, I’ll choose this robot. Make sure to seal it properly when delivering it.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]
