Chapter 96 – Instakill
After arriving back into his room through the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu did not even bother changing his clothes. He fell flat onto his bed.
“I’m dead tired...”
Meanwhile, Little Peach walked through the portal while carrying the box containing the Spiral Ascending Aircraft. After closing the door behind her and disconnecting the spatial link, she asked, “Mr. Chen, do you need me to give you a massage?”
“No. Let’s not trouble the doctor this late into the night.”
After lying down for a while, Chen Yu sat up and massaged his neck, saying, “My neck feels a little stiff.”
“Maybe it’s because you spun too many times,” Little Peach said as she blinked her eyes.
“Maybe.”
After giving a perfunctory reply, Chen Yu raised his wrist and tapped on his watch’s screen to inspect his revenue for today’s livestream.
Unfortunately, he had only earned five points today. Including his leftover one point, he now had a total of six points only.
He had gained a total of 150,000 viewers across the three platforms today. While it wasn’t a small number, it wasn’t large either. In the end, he attributed his underwhelming performance to the fact that a large majority of his subscribers were unaware that he would be livestreaming today.
“Only six points,” Chen Yu muttered, frowning. “What a loss.”
He had spent over 20 points to purchase the Spiral Ascending Aircraft. Yet, he had only gained five points after using it to conduct an additional review.
If he excluded the fact that he had bought the aircraft for personal use and thought purely from a business perspective, he had undoubtedly suffered a loss.
If he wished to avoid losing transactions, he would have to either raise his popularity or purchase cheaper products to review.
The former required gradual progress and cannot be rushed. As for the latter, although it would be possible for him to earn points, the amount earned would not be much. Moreover, if he frequently reviewed cheap products with little technological value, it would undoubtedly cause aesthetic fatigue, lower his value, and reduce his sense of mystery. It might even affect the popularity and revenue of his official livestreams.
“Mr. Chen, how many points did you get?”
“Five. Including the one point from before, I have six in total now.”
“How little.” Unbuttoning her cheongsam, Little Peach said, “Why don’t you review me?”
Chen Yu: “...”
“Review my abilities.” Her arms akimbo, Little Peach said, “I’m a technological product as well.”
“...It’s illegal to evaluate dolls. You should just focus on coding.”
“Alright, then.”
Little Peach regretfully sat before the study table before rapidly typing away at the laptop.
Thud.
Lying back onto his bed, Chen Yu continued swiping across his watch and entered the Transdimensional Store’s page.
Sure enough, now that his points had increased, the store was immediately updated.
...

As the grenade is passed around between players, once the grenade enters the hand of a player that is overly nervous, which would, in turn, cause their body temperature to increase, the grenade will immediately detonate and eliminate the player.

“...”
“Huh? Huh? Huh?
“What the heck are these things?!”
After reading through the description of the five “high-tech” products, Chen Yu’s mental state collapsed.
Setting the first to fourth products aside, what was up with the fifth product? A thermal grenade was actually being treated as a toy?!
Moreover, he also noticed that the thermal grenade was produced during the same period as the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory...
What happened to the children of the 22nd century?!
Did the global population skyrocket?
After a long time had passed, Chen Yu gradually calmed down. Sitting up from his bed, he looked at the five products displayed on his watch’s screen and fell into deep thought.
Should he wait until midnight for the store to refresh, or should he pick one of the currently available products?
If he were to choose one, he felt that the second product, the Yawning Denture, was still of use.
If he were to wait for the store to refresh, what if the next batch of items was even worse than the current batch?
He currently only had six points. Even if the store got refreshed, the products made available to him would only be worth six points or below.
Moreover, he deemed that a “group paralysis” tool like the Yawning Denture should come in handy someday.
“Hmm... Let’s choose this one, then.”
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu stopped hesitating and tapped on the screen, completing his purchase of the Yawning Denture.
[5 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 1]
As these words appeared on Chen Yu’s watch, a small wormhole appeared in the middle of his room. A white box then fell out of the wormhole.
“How small.”
After the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu stepped forward and picked up the smallest delivery package he had received thus far. He then vigorously shook the box beside his ear.
However, he did not hear any sounds coming from the box.
Tear!
After tearing off the seal and opening the lid, Chen Yu discovered that the inside was filled with packing foam.
He removed some of the foam and found three items sandwiched between the foam: an instruction manual, a small tooth, and a small hammer.
Chen Yu first picked up the instruction manual and read it in detail, a frown forming on his face as he finished his reading.
“I actually need to knock out one of my teeth to install this thing?”
Placing down the instruction manual and picking up the small hammer, Chen Yu walked up to the mirror. After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth, bared his teeth, and tapped his left canine with the hammer.
Ding!
After being struck, Chen Yu’s left canine shook violently before shaking free from his gums. Immediately, blood surged out of the new cavity.
“Crap.”
Hurriedly picking up the Yawning Denture, Chen Yu pushed it into the cavity.
A special liquid flowed out of the false tooth immediately, the liquid stopping the bleeding and adhering the tooth to the gums. No matter how Chen Yu pulled at the tooth, it would not budge.
“Amazing...”
Carefully inspecting his new tooth and looking at the small hammer in his hand, Chen Yu fell into deep thought for a moment. After washing himself up in the bathroom, he stood before the Interstellar Portal and established a spatial link.
“Mr. Chen, where are you going?”
“I’m going to test out this new product. Also, hold onto this small hammer for me. It’s an absolute weapon!”
“Okay! Do you need me to accompany you?”
“No need.”
After saying so, Chen Yu put on his mask.
...
Half a minute later, Chen Yu appeared inside a nightclub in Shanghai.
Through the VIP room’s glass wall, he spotted numerous men and women venting their youth, desire, and money to a passionate and rhythmic melody on the dance floor.
“Go on, keep on dancing...”
Walking out of the second-floor VIP room, Chen Yu trotted to the center of the flashing dance floor. He then eagerly widened his mouth and yawned...
“Ah...”
