Chapter 295 – Surprising Additional Livestream (1)

“I measured her three times. Her temperature really stopped rising.” Placing the thermometer in Chen Yu’s hand, Father Chen put on his coat and picked up his cloth bag. He then instructed Chen Yu, “Retake her temperature once every twenty minutes. If her temperature increases, give me a call. I’ll come back and bring her to the hospital. I’m off to work now.”

“Okay.” After shaking the thermometer slightly, Chen Yu waved his hand at Father Chen and said, “Don’t worry. Just go to work.”

“Mhm.”

After nodding, Father Chen opened the door and left.

After storing the thermometer back into the medicine box, Chen Yu stretched his hand and stroked Chen Erke’s forehead. “How do you feel? Are you still dizzy?”

“I’m dizzy,” Chen Erke said pitifully. “It’s terrible…”

“You can’t play with your phone if you have a bad headache.”

“Ah… I don’t feel so dizzy anymore.”

“…You’re beyond saving.”

Sighing, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom and dug around his bed, searching for Chen Erke’s phone.

“Mr. Chen, is your second sister sick?” Little Peach asked as she crouched by the door and snuck a glance into the living room.

“Mhm. She has a fever.”

“You can use that Fight Pillow on her.”

“Her fever isn’t particularly bad. No need for that kind of trouble.” After finding the phone, Chen Yu shrugged and said, “I’ll see how the situation goes later. If her fever persists, I’ll smack her with the pillow. Speaking of which, I guess it’s time to improve my family’s health.”

Shutting the door, Chen Yu returned to the living room and tossed the phone back to Chen Erke. “Little girl, you won this time. However, if you continue playing with your phone all day, I’m confiscating your phone regardless of whether you are sick or not.”

“Mhm, mhm!”

Chen Erke hurriedly nodded while hugging her phone tightly. “Big Brother is the best. I love you.”

“Stop spouting nonsense and open up.” After saying so, Chen Yu stuck the thermometer into Chen Erke’s armpit.

Two minutes later, Chen Yu retrieved the thermometer. Immediately, a shocked expression appeared on his face. “A-Are you god?! It returned to 37 degrees already?!”

“Hehehe…” Chen Erke responded with a dumb smile.

“Did her temperature drop?” Mother Chen, who was holding onto three wet towels, came running into the living room.

“Mhm. As soon as she got her phone, her body temperature returned to normal.” Placing the thermometer back into the medicine box, Chen Yu stretched his waist and said to Chen Erke, “Little girl, you’re too playful. You’re going to become a good-for-nothing soon.”

“You still have the gall to say that? You were the one who bought her the phone. Also, have you forgotten the times where you snuck out to internet cafes during grade school? How are you any better than your little sister?”

“…Fine. You win. I’m going to get some more sleep, so I’m skipping breakfast. Don’t disturb me.”

After saying so, Chen Yu yawned and returned to his own room.

Click.

At this time, Chen Erke, who was wearing a down jacket, opened the security door from the outside. After shaking the snow off her body, she entered the house with a plastic bag in hand. “I bought the medicine. How is Second Eldest?”

In response to Chen Yike’s question, the sound of kill announcements came from Chen Erke’s phone.

“Double Kill; Triple Kill…”

“…”

…

The days without livestreams hosted by Transdimensional Review passed by quickly.

During the past few days, many major incidents had occurred worldwide, and the global situation frequently changed.

Of the major incidents that occurred, the most important one would be when the Chinese government had sent people onto Mars…

The first manned landing module, Wavebreaker, had even completed its orbiting operations already. With tons of fuel and supplies onboard, Wavebreaker flew straight towards Mars.

Three cargo spacecraft carrying construction materials and additional supplies for the astronauts also followed closely afterward.

For the masses who were unaware of Transdimensional Review’s existence, they were all stunned by this piece of news. None of them were able to figure out how the Chinese government managed to achieve all of these. They also couldn’t understand why China, a country that had never even landed on the moon before, would head straight for Mars.

As for the tens of millions of insiders, they were all stunned by China’s speed and efficiency.

After all, SpaceX, the company which had partnered with Chen Yu for the Mars colonization project, had only now formulated a feasible plan for the project. The company hadn’t even finished allocating the necessary personnel for the project.

Evidently, China wanted the honor of being the first country to have people set foot onto Mars. Perhaps, this was also a means to test Chen Yu’s attitude…

Unfortunately, Chen Yu couldn’t understand the political games played by the various nations. He also couldn’t be bothered to understand them. He simply settled himself into the position of a spectator, thoroughly ignoring the messages the SpaceX Company and American government were bombarding him with. He acted as if he had no idea about any of these matters.

Now, he had a much more important matter he needed to deal with…

Opening the security door to his house, Chen Yu guided the two workers carrying a large box into the house. He then pointed at Chen Erke’s room and said, “Put it inside.”

“Okay.” The two workers nodded.

Mother Chen, who was cooking in the kitchen, poked her head out when she heard the commotion. After scrutinizing the large box, she asked, “Chen Yu, this… What’s going on?”

“I bought a birthday present for Eldest.”

“What did you buy?”

“It’s a secret. You’ll find out when the time comes.”

To give his eldest little sister a surprise, Chen Yu deliberately chose a time where all three of his little sisters had gone out shopping to pull this operation.

“Lil Bro, isn’t this room too small? There’s nowhere to put this thing,” one of the workers said after setting down the box. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he gasped for air while saying, “How about we put it

in the living room?”

“It can fit.” Walking into Chen Yike’s bedroom, Chen Yu picked up her study table and tossed it into the living room. “There.”

“Oh? Lil Bro, you’re quite strong, huh?”

“It’s okay.” After expending some effort to drag the box into the room, Chen Yu generously paid the 400-yuan transportation fee and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“You’re welcome.”

After the two workers left, Chen Yu struggled a little bit inside his eldest little sister’s room before he finished unboxing and wrapping up the present he prepared. He then walked out of the room, picked up the study table outside, and carried it back to his own room.

“Chen Yu, even if you made some money, you shouldn’t spend it simply.”

“Mhm.” Chen Yu answered perfunctorily. After settling everything, he patted the dust off his hands and asked, “Mom, are you still investing in stocks recently?”

Upon hearing the word “investment,” Mother Chen’s face paled instantly. “What investment? Stocks are all scams.”

“You can’t say such nonsense, Mom. You’ll be jailed.” Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu revealed an evil smirk on his face as he said, “I’ll send you another 20,000. Go buy whatever stock you want. Afterward, just tell me which stocks you bought. Your son has always believed in you. You are definitely a genius in the field of investment.”

“Don’t transfer it to me. I’m not doing it anymore. I’ll definitely lose money.”

“It’s fine. So long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter even if you lose.”

“You…” Skeptically, Mother Chen asked, “How much money do you have now? You don’t even care about 20,000 yuan?”

Click.

Just as Chen Yu was about to give a reply, the security door opened. Chen Yike then entered the house together with her two little sisters. “We’re back.”

“Big Brother, hug!” Without even taking off her shoes, Chen Sanke immediately dashed up to Chen Yu and hugged his legs.

“Good girl.” Caressing Chen Sanke’s head, Chen Yu looked at Chen Erke and asked, “Did you play with your phone on your way back?”

“Nope!” Chen Erke shook her head vehemently while holding onto a birthday cake.

“Heh.” Stepping forward, Chen Yu stretched his hand into Chen Erke’s pocket.

Sure enough, Chen Erke’s phone was still warm.

“Good. You treated my words as farts. Just you wait.”

“I-I didn’t play with it!” Stepping backward, Chen Erke said, “Can’t you see me holding the cake? How can I play with my phone without any free hands?”

“She walked with the cake on her head!” Chen Sanke exposed her elder sister, mercilessly.

“Chen Sanke! Didn’t I say I would give you half of my share if you kept your mouth shut?!”

“Oh… I forgot.”

“You’re amazing, Second Eldest.” Chen Yu couldn’t help but give Chen Erke a thumbs up. “You actually developed your body to such an extent just so you can play with your phone.”

“Hehe… It’s not actually that amazing,” Chen Erke said, blushing as she put down the cake.

“I’m not praising you!!”

With the Chen family’s four young masters gathered together, the house immediately regained its liveliness. When nighttime arrived, the whole family sat around the dining table and prepared for dinner.

“Eldest, it’s your birthday today. Did you prepare a present for me?” Mother Chen asked as she filled up her cup with beer.

“Huh?” Stunned, Chen Yike asked, “Isn’t it my birthday? Why should I give you a present?”

“The day of a child’s birth is the day of a mother’s suffering. If I hadn’t suffered, where would you be now? Isn’t it only right you give me a present on this day?”

Stunned, Chen Yu said, “It makes sense!”

“…” Chen Yike was rendered speechless momentarily. Suddenly, she leaned forward and gave Mother Chen a kiss. “I love you, Mommy. How will this do as a present?”

Unable to hold back her smile, Mother Chen said, “Not bad, not bad. I’ll let you off the hook.”

“Mommy!” Raising her hand, Chen Sanke said, “M-My birthday is coming soon as well. I’ll give you a kiss at that time.”

“Good girl.”

Putting down her phone, Chen Erke said, “Mom, I’ll give you a kiss too.”

“Good girl.”

Nodding, Chen Yu said, “In that case, I’ll give you a kiss as well.”

However, Mother Chen’s expression froze immediately. She then subconsciously grabbed the rolling pin from the kitchen counter and asked, “What are you going to give me?”

“I’ll give you my life…”

After the lively family ate until they were 70% full, they took out the cake, set it on the table, and decorated it with candles.

“Eldest, make a wish.” Chen Yu said after lighting the candles with a lighter.

“Okay.”

Nodding, Chen Yike closed her eyes and clasped her hands.

I hope I can have a piano of my own…

“Fuuh!” After making her wish, Chen Yike blew out the candles and cheered, “Yay! It’s coming true!”

“Big Sis, what did you wish for?” Chen Sanke asked.

“I can’t tell you. It won’t come true if I do.” Standing up, Chen Yike picked up a long knife and divided the cake into seven servings. She then gave the largest serving to Father Chen, who sat silently in a corner, and said, “Dad, eat some cake. Why don’t you have any sense of presence?”

“I can’t help it if the camera isn’t directed at me,” Father Chen said, sighing. After he accepted the cake and took a bite, a complicated expression appeared on his face as he said, “My little girl has grown up.”

“Mom, here’s yours.”

“Second Eldest, here’s yours. This smaller one is yours, Third Eldest. Also this one is Pikachu’s…”

“Big Sis.” Raising her fork, Chen Sanke said to Chen Erke, “Half of your cake is mine.”

“Are you dreaming? “Chen Erke said, sneering.

“You said you would give me half when we were buying the cake!”

“That was on the condition you didn’t run your mouth. Now that you’ve betrayed me, you still want cake?” After saying so, Chen Erke stuffed the whole piece of cake into her mouth and chewed vigorously as if venting her anger.

“You ate my cake!” Chen Sanke pouted.

“It’s mine. None of it is yours. What? Do you want to fight? I’m already a taekwondo master. You can try if you want.”

“I-I’ll try it, then!”

“This last piece…” Ignoring the quarrel between her two little sisters, Chen Yike picked up the second largest piece of cake and handed it to Chen Yu. She then revealed a dazzling smile and said, “Brother, thank you.”

“Thank me for what?”

“Although you always bully me…” With blushing cheeks, Chen Yike leaned into Chen Yu’s ears and whispered, “I know you’re the one who understands me and treats me the best.”

“Ah.” Chen Yu’s cheeks reddened for the first time.

“However, I will definitely unveil your secret!”

“Whose secret?”

“Your secret!”

After everyone ate their cake, the birthday celebration also came to an end.

Subsequently, the Chen family sat in the living room and conversed with each other until ten o’clock in the evening before returning to their respective rooms.

In a good mood, Chen Yike hummed a small tune as she returned to her room. However, when she turned on the lights and was about to change into her sleepwear, her eyes were attracted to the pink curtain in the corner of the room.

Meanwhile, a small card sat in the middle of the curtain.

[Happy Birthday.]

Covering her mouth, Chen Yike subconsciously realized what was hidden under the curtain…

Reaching out, she grabbed a corner of the curtain with her trembling hand. And after taking a deep breath, she pulled hard!

Whoosh.

An exquisite, white piano entered her vision.

“Brother…”

…

Three days later.

Sunday, 8:44 AM:

Due to the announcement post Chen Yu had Little Peach make, today’s additional livestream became the focus of attention all over the world.

Be it government leaders or ordinary civilians, everyone was quietly sitting before their screens and waiting for the start of the livestream.

Everyone was nervous that a disaster similar to the black hole incident from last time would occur again.

Or maybe…

Something even worse.

…

New York, United Nations Headquarters, Observer Conference Hall:

Bang.

The doors to the hall opened. Followed by his subordinates, the middle-aged team leader from China walked into the hall in a hurry. After greeting everyone present, he sat down on the seat reserved exclusively for China’s representative.

“Dear Chinese representatives, you’re late again.”

“It’s 8:45 AM. There are still 15 minutes until the usual broadcasting time. We hadn’t arrived late,” Big Sis Wu, who stood behind the middle-aged team leader, said, smiling as she pushed against her glasses.

“We have already notified you that we would hold a meeting before Transdimensional Review’s livestream starts,” America’s representative said expressionlessly. “When I said late, I was referring to that meeting. Does your side only know how to be quick when grabbing honor but procrastinate when doing actual business?”

“Sorry, but we have clearly stated our refusal to participate in that meeting,” the middle-aged team leader said, casually dealing with the other party’s smack talk. While flipping through the documents in his hand, he continued, “As for the honor-grabbing you mentioned, I’m sorry, but I don’t quite understand it. We are only responsible for dealing with events related to Transdimensional’s UP. If you have any questions, you can find the Chinese Ambassador in Building A.”

“Let’s not talk about these meaningless things,” France’s representative said. “We should take advantage of this time to discuss what Transdimensional’s UP is referring to by ‘calamity.'”

“There is a lack of information, so we won’t reach any useful results with our discussion.” Placing down his documents, the middle-aged team leader leaned against his seat and shrugged, saying, “Transdimensional Review’s announcement only consists of a hundred words or so, and it has not divulged any useful information. There is no meaning for any discussions. The most important thing we need to do is to prepare to stabilize and counteract the problem.”

Hearing this, America’s representative opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could say anything, the assistant behind him suddenly leaned forward and whispered into his ears, “Director, Transdimensional’s UP has finally replied to SpaceX’s messages.”

“Really?” The representative’s face tightened at his assistant’s words. “What did he reply?”

“He replied: Sorry, I just saw it.”

“What else?”

“Nothing.”

“Nothing?”

“Nothing…”
