Chapter 253 – Wisdom’s Limit! Eighth Official Livestream (1)
Beijing, Special Situation Handling Office:
“Deputy Leader, the technical department, analysis department, and staff teams are all ready.’
“Okay. I’ll contact the Leader for permission...’
...
Japan, Special Event Research Institute:
“準備が完了しました!(All preparations have been completed!)”
...
America, United Nations headquarters, Observer Conference Hall:
The crowd sat around the circular table focused their gazes on the main screen without saying a word.
It was currently nine o’clock already, and the livestream could begin at any moment.
Nobody was willing to miss out on even a single frame of the livestream.
Like a woman’s period, the official livestreams that occurred once a month punctually placed the world’s various forces on edge.
...
At the same time, inside the Hogwarts—Super Floating Castle...
When Chen Yu arrived at the main hall on the first floor, two professors—one male and one female—were discussing something seriously while sharing a book.
Upon seeing Chen Yu’s arrival, the two professors hurriedly bowed and saluted, “Hello, Headmaster.”
“Please stand up.”
“?”
“Don’t mind the details. Continue on with your talk. I’ll be going first.”
“H-Headmaster.” Upon seeing the large box Little Peach carried, the female professor hesitantly approached Chen Yu and asked, “Is that the product you’re going to review?”
“That’s right.”
“C-Can we watch it in person?”
“No problem.” Chen Yu nodded. He then pointed out the window and said, “I plan to do the review outside the castle. You can follow me if you want to watch, but you can’t get close, make noise, or influence my review in any way. Moreover, you’ll be responsible for your own safety.”
“Yes, yes!”
The two professors nodded joyfully when they heard Chen Yu’s answer. They then followed after Little Peach without hesitation.
“L-Lady, do you need me to help you carry it?” the male professor asked Little Peach. He knew that Little Peach was Chen Yu’s sole partner, so he decisively seized this opportunity to form a relationship with her.
“Sure!”
Little Peach’s eyes lit up, and she happily put down the delivery box.
Boom!!
The ground trembled slightly.
“...” The male professor immediately became dumbfounded.
“You better be careful. This thing is a little heavy. Don’t fall over and break the product,” Little Peach said with her hips on her waist. “You’re a good person. Favorability is increased by five points.”
“...Gulp.” After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the male professor reached out to the box with his trembling hands.
“Our Academy doesn’t compensate for accidental deaths,” Chen Yu reminded.
“...Can’t you at least give a little bit?”
...
In the end, Little Peach still ended up carrying the delivery box out of the castle by herself and set it down on the east gate’s plaza.
“It’s so heavy!” Little Peach said while massaging her waist. “My springs have all loosened.”
“We’re late. Let’s start the livestream.”
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu drove away the many professors following behind him back into the castle. He then faced the camera, swiped his finger across his watch, and started the livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated...]
[Bilibili, DouYu, Youtube...Niconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
375,818.
,700,690.
,350,147...
The moment Chen Yu opened the livestream’s access to the public, the total viewer count instantly broke past the 20-million mark. Moreover, it was still rapidly increasing.
“This...”
Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown when he saw how rapidly the total viewer count increased.
Looking at this increase, he couldn’t help but suspect that the information block of the various countries’ governments had collapsed...
[Ahaha! First! I’m first!]
[First.]
[The true number one.]
[Who else is first?]
[It’s here, it’s here!]
[OHHHH!]
[Hello, Headmaster.]
[Hello, Headmaster King.]
[My friend got an invitation letter from the Transdimensional Academy, and he got taken away by hundreds of people.]
[My friend received an invite as well, and the government awarded three million dollars to her.]
[What a coincidence, I have such a friend as well...]
Twenty seconds later, the influx of IP addresses slowed down.
Meanwhile, the total viewer count had already exceeded 24 million!
This was undoubtedly the highest viewer count a livestream had ever received in history.
“Something must’ve gone wrong somewhere. Otherwise, there shouldn’t be a sudden increase of nearly 10 million viewers...”
After thinking over the matter for a while and failing to figure out any clues, Chen Yu gave up and decided to focus on the livestream.
“Friends and viewers in the livestream rooms, good morning.”
Righting his mask, Chen Yu said, “This is Transdimensional Review’s eighth official livestream. Another month has gone by, and I am delighted to meet with everyone again. I would also like to thank everyone for sparing time out of your busy schedule to watch my livestream. Your support has and always will be my driving force.
“Today’s livestream product has finally returned to a smaller scale, so it should be very safe. We shouldn’t have anything to worry about anymore.”
After saying so, Chen Yu directed the camera toward the white delivery box.
“This is the protagonist of today’s review. Compared to previous products, it is unexpectedly small, right? Like everyone, I still don’t know what is stored inside the box. However, let’s not unbox it first. I have something to announce in advance.”
Snap!
After saying so, Chen Yu snapped his fingers. Immediately, his body floated into the air, and he landed on the castle complex’s highest point, which was at the top of the Astronomy Tower.
“Look there.”
Extending his index finger, Chen Yu pointed at the circular artificial island in the distance. “This is my newly built island. It is an essential component of the Transdimensional Academy. Since the island’s construction hadn’t started yet during the previous livestream, I couldn’t show it to you back then. Of course, those who are well-informed should’ve already found out about the island’s construction in advance.
“The island has an area of 820 square kilometers, which is 20 times the size of Sword Island. The initial plan for the island is very grand. If the opportunity arises, I’ll give you a preview. The airports alone will number at least four. Once everything is constructed, everyone is welcome to visit.
“I’ve also thought of the island’s name already, but I didn’t tell anyone yet so that I can officially announce it before everyone.
“The island will be called...” Spreading his arms, Chen Yu shouted, “Civilization’s Light Island! Light Island for short!”
[...No comment.]
[I feel embarrassed just listening to the name.]
[Although it’s very formal, it is very uncreative.]
[Not fair! Why does Sword Island have that ghastly shape, yet this one is so round?]
[That’s the Earth’s spear, while this is the Earth’s rear.]
[You guys are going to ruin Earth.]
[I only paid attention to the part where the UP said we can travel there!]
[I’m a humble person. I will be satisfied so long as I can see the floating castle whenever I lift my head...]
Raising his watch and looking at the bullet comments flooding his watch’s screen, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction and continued, “It seems everyone likes this name very much. It’s decided, then. Let’s hope this island can live up to its name and become civilization’s light.
“Now, that’s it for this little interlude. Let’s start today’s official livestream.”
After saying so, Chen Yu flew down from the Astronomy Tower and landed back on the eastern plaza. He then returned the camera’s focus onto the delivery box.
“Let’s dispense with the nonsense and unbox it right away!”
Reaching out, Chen Yu grabbed the red seal at the bottom of the box and yanked it hard.
Tear!
