Chapter 179 – Antimatter Battery
After the bullet comment group lost their two “experts”—the soldier and Little Peach—the three remaining commonfolk naturally weren’t a match for Chen Yu.
In the end, the donation group easily secured the victory of the competition.
However, aside from Little Peach, the players of both sides didn’t particularly care about the competition’s outcome.
Approaching the metal console, Chen Yu removed his bodysuit and returned to his original form. He then gathered the other players, “The game’s over. Everyone, remove your suits.”
“Can’t we play another round?” Little Peach pleaded as she extended a finger. “I’ll win next time.”
“All the more reason to stop playing.” Chen Yu stepped forward and removed Little Peach’s bodysuit himself.
The other eight players briefly exchanged glances with each other before removing their enlarged bodysuits one after another.
Poof... Poof... Poof...
After the smoke dissipated, everyone reverted to their “ugly” appearances. They then lined up and obediently returned their bodysuits.
Chen Yu first collected the bodysuit of Sony’s representative. At the same time, he also pushed the microphone he held to the representative and asked, “Sir, what do you think of Nintendo’s game?”
Revealing a formal smile, Sony’s representative answered, “It has a fascinating game concept. In short, the game limits the number of unnecessary functions and infinitely maximizes the fun. It is a truly wonderful game, and it is worthwhile for Sony to study. I hope that-”
“Enough.” Tossing the microphone away, Chen Yu said, “If I knew you would say something so boring, I shouldn’t have chosen Sony in the first place.”
Hearing this, Sony’s representative mentally struggled as he fought between protecting his company’s image and maintaining a friendly relationship with Chen Yu. In the end, he gritted his teeth and chose the latter. While brandishing his fists, he shouted, “Sony, banzai! Nintendo is trash!”
Chen Yu’s eyes immediately glowed in excitement. Hurriedly, he picked up the microphone and said, “Continue! Ramp it up!”
Holding back his shame, Sony’s representative continued, “Sony’s software and hardware performance are much better! Sony also has more exclusive masterpieces! Nintendo, you dare call this embarrassing piece of shit a console?!”
“Bullshit!” At this time, some of the Nintendo fans that were spectating below the stage shouted, “Sony, do you even know what gameplay is?!”
Hearing this, Sony’s representative turned to look at Chen Yu.
In excitement, Chen Yu said, “Don’t lose to him! Fight back!”
After gulping down his saliva, Sony’s representative took over the microphone and said, “Nintendo’s graphics quality is shit! Its games’ optimization is even worse! Only children will play Nintendo games!”
“Our Nintendo has Zelda!”
“Sony’s console is much more powerful! The image quality is cinema-level!”
“We have Zelda!” x5
“Sony gives Playstation members a AAA masterpiece every month!”
We have Zelda!” x17
“Sony’s exclusive masterpieces are excellent and innumerable! They’re cheap as well!”
We have Zelda!” x30
Sony’s representative: “...Can you stop saying Zelda?”
“We have Mario!”
“...”
“We have Pokémon!”
“...”
“We also have Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros, Super Kirby, Octopath Traveler...”
“...”
“Zelda!” x55
[I’m dying from laughter!]
[Hahahaha...]
[Microsoft is silently watching and smiling from the sidelines.]
[This representative is going to become famous.]
[Host, you’re so bad. I like it.]
“Alright, well done,” Chen Yu said as he patted the representative’s shoulder. “I’ll include you guys if I have another interactive event.”
“Thank you, Mr. King.” The representative hurriedly nodded.
After returning all of the bodysuits into the metal console, Chen Yu pushed down on the power button, turning off the machine. He then stood up, faced the camera, and concluded, “That’s it for our review of this product. I want to thank everyone for remaining in front of your screens and watching the stream.
“Before we end the stream, allow me to bring up a matter.
“For many people, they think that it is only right that they receive something in return for their actions. In the 1980s and 1990s, video games emerged. However, along with its emergence, all kinds of criticism and slander appeared as well. It’s as if people are trying to ruin video games.
“Meanwhile, the root of all these negative remarks is because games don’t provide any returns. Playing games doesn’t improve your performance in life. It doesn’t bring about any benefits. It is simply a form of entertainment. As a result, playing games has become an improper action in the eyes of many adults.”
Bending over, Chen Yu picked up the metal console and gently stroked its surface. “We don’t demand many people to understand what art, culture, or happiness is. As part of the generation born into video games, we are weak in this world. However, even as we endure against the storms in the outside world, we choose not to retaliate. Why? Because we know that so long as we have our games, we will always live a better life than them.
“Even after we have grown up, the elders of the older generation will still ask us why—after we have started working, gotten married, and even had children—we would continue playing video games.”
Slowly raising the metal cube in his hands, Chen Yu displayed Nintendo’s logo to the camera and smiled. “This product can perfectly answer this question. It can answer all the malicious questions raised since the inception of games.
“Because...
“We love it.
“And it is a love that doesn’t seek reciprocation.”
After saying so, Chen Yu lowered his hands.
“This has been Transdimensional Review’s additional livestream! Everyone, thank you for watching! We will meet again next time!”
The screen darkened, putting an end to the flood of bullet comments.
The livestream was over.
...
Roughly a dozen minutes later, the helicopter carrying the special situation team’s middle-aged team leader finally arrived at the scene.
After the helicopter landed, the middle-aged team leader presented his ID to one of the police officers sealing off the scene. He then walked up the stage and joined the investigation team.
As for Big Sis Wu, who served as the team leader’s assistant, she walked around the stadium and conducted routine tasks. She then approached the team leader and reported, “Leader, the TV station’s person-in-charge came running over. He’s asking when our search will finish. He says the broadcast tonight cannot be delayed.”
“Have him continue delaying the broadcast,” the middle-aged team leader dully said as he straightened his mask. “Have him talk to our superior. We’ll need at least a week to be done with this place.”
“Okay.” Big Sis Wu nodded. Holding up her notebook, she continued, “There is a lot of discussion over Transdimensional Review on the internet. We weren’t able to carry out the targeted bans and deletions in time. Many ignorant netizens have also started growing suspicious. Moreover, hackers have hacked several important government websites and uploaded many screenshots of Transdimensional Review’s livestream.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged team leader straightened his back and removed his glove. Sternly, he said, “Even if we can’t ban them, we must still do it. If blocking individual accounts isn’t enough, then seal off the entire platform! This goes especially for Shanghai’s online forums. Seal all of them! We cannot let this information spread even further.”
“Understood.”
“Contact the Veterans Hospital and bring that soldier to me. I have many questions to ask him. Arrange him into my schedule.”
“Okay.”
Chen Yu might’ve left after his livestream ended, but the mess he left behind still required countless manpower and resources to clean up.
...
After returning home, the first thing Chen Yu did was to roll around on his bed. He then swiped his finger across his watch and inspected his income today.
He had garnered a total of 2.58 million viewers across the five broadcasting platforms and earned 86 points.
Including the 65 points he had saved up, he now had a total of 151 points.
“I got back the cloak’s money.”
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Yu visited the Transdimensional Store. After browsing through the five items, he found no products worth purchasing.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and spent 10 points to refresh the store. Fortunately, one of the items was something he currently needed.
[3. Basic Antimatter Destruction Battery: Produced by the Best Man Energy Processing Company in 3785. This battery is made using the densest energy source in existence—antimatter. The container is bound by a potential magnetic field to control the collision frequency of antimatter and positive matter, ensuring the battery’s safety. The battery’s output can be freely adjusted. It is suited to be used in various small- and medium-sized spatial gates, industries, and floating cities. The selling price is 70 points.]
A cloak that vanishes forever with a toss costs 90 points, yet this super-battery only sells for 70 points? Why? Chen Yu wondered as he purchased the antimatter battery. Isn’t the pricing a little too arbitrary? Isn’t this unreasonable?
[78 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 73]
As the text prompt flashed across the watch’s screen, a small wormhole immediately appeared in the middle of the bedroom. A white delivery box then fell out of the wormhole.
“It’s not a toy!”
Before Little Peach could open her mouth, Chen Yu interrupted her ahead of time.
Little Peach: “...”
After waiting for the space-time wormhole to vanish, Chen Yu stepped forward and tore open the box. He then pulled out the small silver brick inside the box. After weighing the brick in his hand, he carefully set it on the floor and picked up the instruction manual.
As an antimatter battery, the energy contained inside could easily blow up Earth 250 times...
Or maybe even more.
“Huh?” Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu suddenly realized something. Picking up the battery, he dazedly wondered, “The audience will love the disassembly of an antimatter battery...”
