As soon as Chen Yu opened the box, a thick manual came into his view.

Taking away the manual revealed a metallic box that resembled a toolbox. Through the transparent glass cover, Chen Yu spotted a few fun-sized but of-unknown-purpose tools lying in it.

“What’s this?”

Puzzled, Chen Yu tore off the plastic wrapper around the manual and flipped opened the first page.

[Thank you for purchasing Yue Tu Company’s children’s educational toy series.]

“Child… children’s toy…?”

Chen Yu was in a daze. After a short pause, he pulled out his mobile phone to send a WeChat message.

[Chen Yu: “You’re telling me to review a child’s toy?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes. It might be of the lowest class, but I only managed to get it for you after going through many troubles.”]

[Chen Yu: “Are you being serious?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I am. Is there something wrong, Mr. Chen?”]

“I…”

Chen Yu had the urge to curse, but he decided not to in the end. He took the manual and focused on it.

Even if it was a toy, it was an item from the future, after all. There might be a big surprise, like a universe hidden in it….

Indeed, just three pages into the manual, “the universe” hidden in the “toy” gave Chen Yu a fright, sending chills running down his spine.

Gulp.

Chen Yu gulped. He picked up his mobile phone and entered the WeChat chatroom, shaking while typing down his message.

[Chen Yu: “Are you sure this is a toy?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes, Mr. Chen.”]

[Chen Yu: “That’s designed for children?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes. Is there any problem with it?”]

[Chen Yu: “So children in the future make nuclear bombs at home for fun, huh?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]

[Chen Yu: “Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory. What kind of name is this for a children’s toy!?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Calm down, Mr. Chen. The purpose of this is to teach children about the elements and physics. This is made with the purpose of broadening children’s knowledge and developing their motor skills. It comes with equipment for protection and it won’t bring about any health impacts or explode randomly. You can be at ease.”]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Please believe my words! It’s really just a toy.”]

[Chen Yu: “Can I exchange it for something else?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “My dear, other than quality problems, you can’t return the purchase.”]

“Hah…”

Chen Yu sighed and threw his mobile phone to the side. He then picked up the manual, browsing through it. However, the more he read, the more his head hurt.

Just look at what was in here….

One Geiger-Muller counter used to detect radioactive emissions.

One electroscope used to detect the presence of electric charge.

Two spinthariscopes used for observing individual nuclear disintegrations.

Two Wilson cloud chambers that consisted of an indicator, used for visualizing the passage of ionizing radiation.

One set of large protective gear.

One alpha radioactive source made out of lead-210 and polonium-210.

One beta radioactive source made of ruthenium-106.

One gamma radioactive source made of zinc-65.

One coil of aluminium foil.

One coil of uranium-238.

One polonium-beryllium neutron initiator.

Eight uranium ore samples…

Heavens! This thing even came with a case that was about the size of a finger and a spherical detonator! How thoughtful of the manufacturer!

It would seem that the future civilization was way ahead when it came to population control. They were already teaching it since infancy…

The tough, brain-straining fight with the huge manual came to an end. Chen Yu sat down on the floor, sinking deep in thought.

He was so grateful to himself for
