Chapter 87: Surging Popularity

Seoul, the capital of Korea. It was one of the 21st century’s top 10 cities.

Yesterday, the typhoon “Bell” assaulted the area. So far, it had already caused over 30 deaths, hundreds of injuries, and power outages to more than 400,000 homes. Some buildings had even collapsed as a result of the typhoon.

In addition, roughly 600 flights had been canceled.

The highest wind speed in some areas even exceeded 240kmph.

Moreover, the National Meteorological Department had already issued a red typhoon warning, signaling that the disaster was expanding further.

Maybe because of the rise in global temperature, extreme weather could be seen occurring much more frequently in recent years.

Of course, compared to mega typhoons like Typhoon Hagibis and Typhoon Kalmaegi, Typhoon Bell, which had landed on Seoul this time, was still only considered a little trouble.

...

Morning.

:23 A.M.

Seoul, Eulwangri Beach:

As Typhoon Bell raged on and massive waves crashed into the beach, a huge metal arch that was five meters high and three meters wide suddenly appeared on the beach.

When the people, who had failed to evacuate in time and were taking shelter inside the coastal buildings, saw this metal arch, their eyes instantly widened in shock.

“Wha-?!”

As soon as Chen Yu stepped through the Interstellar Portal, the raging storm immediately showered him in water, drenching him. Even his masked face was not spared.

[Did the UP really come to Korea? I’m studying abroad in Seoul right now!]

[These rapid spatial transition shots really are amazing.]

[I see police officers organizing a retreat! Don’t tell me they’re actors as well?]

[What’s with the sudden positive energy? I can’t get used to this.]

[Positive my ass! I bet he’s here to make things worse!]

[If UP really can change Seoul’s weather, then I’ll really believe in him.]

[???????!!!] (Please do your best, brother!)

[???????????!] (You are the hero of Korea!)

[Yameteh!] (Stop!)

[Host, it’s time to summon a comet! On behalf of the people, give Korea a fatal blow!]

[What to hit?]

[What to hit?]

[UP, can you release extreme cold currents? That will definitely double the lethality of the typhoon. Don’t call me cruel. I’m only suggesting this for science.]

Chen Yu did not pay any attention to the livestream’s bullet comments.

Due to the storm, not only did his haori become totally drenched, but even his vision had become very blurry. He could just barely find a platform amidst the raging storm and sit down. He then pulled out the Weather Control Module from the box and placed it atop the platform.

“?????????!” (Who are you?!)

Just as Chen Yu was about to exit the weather module’s extreme weather menu, a man’s shout suddenly entered his ears.

Turning around, Chen Yu saw that a chubby policeman was currently shouting gibberish while waving a police baton at him.

“Shut the hell up,” Chen Yu mumbled in an inaudible tone before turning around and returning his attention to the weather module.

He could not speak to the other party. Otherwise, he would expose his voice.

As a careful streamer, he definitely wouldn’t let anyone discover his true identity. Hence, he could not leave behind even a single loophole.

This was professionalism.

Pzz— Pzz— Pzz—

When he pushed down on the holographic “Sunny” button, the weather module’s antenna shot a red beam into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds gathered in the sky started dispersing.

The wind, stopped.

The rain, stopped.

At this moment, as if the whole world had gone silent, only the sound of waves hitting the beach could be heard.

[???]

[Nani? (ÒωÓ?)!]

[I’m in Korea... The typhoon actually stopped...]

[I’m in Korea as well...]

[Impossible!]

[Haha! The ones above are all bullet comment actors. I’m in Korea as well, but the truth is, the typhoon has grown even stronger!]

[Beautifully done!]

[Do you have nothing better to do than to tell lies?! The typhoon really stopped!]

[I think I’m watching the creation of history...]

[Look at the news! Such a big event will definitely be reported!]

[The UP has long since been banned throughout the internet. Don’t even think of finding any news on him.]

[No need to look at the news! Kim Soo-min is currently livestreaming on Seoul’s beach! The typhoon actually stopped! Crap, crap, crap!][1]

[??????...] (The typhoon has stopped...)

[I’m in Seoul as well! I swear! The typhoon has stopped! There’s no way to lie about his!]

[Could the UP really be reviewing future technologies?]

[Stop joking, alright? You guys are really scaring me now...]

[Go look at Kim Soo-min’s livestream. You’ll have your world views shattered.]

[Is it not illegal to spread rumors?]

[My son still can’t write...]

Clang...

The Korean policeman’s baton fell on the ground, his eyes looking at Chen Yu as if he was looking at a ghost.

Shaking off some of the rainwater off his body, Chen Yu stood up and picked up the Weather Control Module. After carefully returning it into its box, he picked up the box and made his way back to the Interstellar Portal.

Seeing that Chen Yu was walking away, the policeman quickly snapped out of his daze and raised his button while shouting, “??!” (Stop!)

However, Chen Yu could not understand even a single syllable of what the policeman shouted. Hence, he walked straight into the Sahara Desert that was found beyond the Interstellar Portal without stopping.

Seoul was different from Si Racha. It was the capital of Korea, and there were plenty of military and police forces stationed here. If he delayed his stay for even a while longer, he might very well be caught up in unnecessary trouble.

“??!” (Stop!)

However, Chen Yu never thought that the policeman would actually chase after him. While standing on the other side of the Interstellar Portal, the policeman waved his baton while alternated between shouting in Korean and English in the hopes that Chen Yu could understand him.

Standing in the snowy desert, Chen Yu fell silent for a moment before extending a finger to the policeman and hooking it.

The meaning behind his gesture was obvious—Come over if you dare!

Stunned, the policeman instinctively retreated.

Seeing this, Chen Yu didn’t bother communicating with the other party any further as he reached out his hand and terminated the spatial link.

It’s getting quite late. Before I realized it, more than an hour has passed by already.

Turning around to face the camera, Chen Yu slightly adjusted his opera mask before crossing his fingers and concluding, “Technology has always been a double-edged sword. Suppose we can use it mischief and destruction to amplify the evil of human nature. In that case, we can naturally use it to save people from crises and further development to promote the goodness of human nature.

“This is the end of today’s livestream review. Thank you, Pilotage Technology Group, for providing me with this high-tech product. IT has given me a deeper understanding of technology. Tomorrow, at 9 o’clock in the morning, I will release the edited version of this livestream. I hope everyone here can help report and spread it.”

Pausing briefly, Chen Yu removed the Weather Control Module from its box before waving the box itself at the camera, saying, “According to our initial agreement, I will give this box made of special material to my fans. I’ll drop it on our country’s Beijing. Hopefully, someone fated can find it.

“Lastly, allow me to digress. After the next livestream, my first quarterly evaluation will be complete. If I successfully pass it and get promoted, I believe I can share even more exciting products with everyone during the second quarter.

“Well, then. Let’s meet again on Sunday next month!”

Although the number of bullet comments being made had skyrocketed along with his ending speech, Chen Yu did not pay them any attention. Pressing down on his watch, he turned off his livestream, plunging everyone’s screens into darkness.

...

At the same time, in a villa located on Jinzhou City’s outskirts...

Jumping out of his seat, the special situation team’s middle-aged team leader hurriedly picked up his satellite phone and dialed a number.

“Beijing Division! ORganize all personnel including police officers, traffic police, special agents, and security personnel to find the box as soon as possible! I’ll handle communications with the superior departments! Quick!”

“Understood!”
