Chapter 317 – It Seems Someone is Angry…

“Director, are we not participating this time as well?”

America, NASA Headquarters, second-floor hall:

Currently, the new director of NASA was seated comfortably in his independent office while looking at the distant screen through his office’s glass windows. After a moment of silence, the director looked at the new assistant and said, “The director who chose not to participate has already become the former director. So, do you think we should participate or not?”

“But…” Hesitantly, the assistant said, “I’ve been staring at the account all this time, but there are no signs of additional funds coming in. It doesn’t seem like Congress has allowed it.”

“The higher-ups have already declared a state of emergency. After discussing it, they decided that the funds will not go to NASA’s account.” Narrowing his eyes, the director said, “In short, the money has already been transferred into the accounts of 15 domestic and international broadcasting platforms. Different from before, NASA must gain a spot for the interactive event this time!”

“Transdimensional’s UP is a narrow-minded and vile racist who lacks international spirit and insight of the overall situation. You should be cautious.”

“Wrong. Your statement is too extreme.” Shaking his head, the director said, “He should be the most narrow-minded, vilest racial dictator who is most lacking in international spirit and insight of the overall situation!”

“…”

“It is obvious he has been targeting NASA all this time.”

“W-What if we fail to get selected this time, then? Will we be held accountable?”

“We will definitely be held accountable, but it won’t be fatal.” Standing up, the director picked up a cigar and gave it a sniff. “In the current situation, so long as we do our best to fight for a spot, even if we fail, the main reason for failure will not be on us. After all, everyone is aware of Transdimensional’s UP’s personality. The former director was a complete and utter fool to actually abstain from the competition. I really don’t know how his brain was developed. I was so frustrated when I was working as his assistant. He wouldn’t listen no matter how I advised him.”

“That’s right.” The assistant nodded. “That’s why you are in charge now.”

“Yes. Letting that fool become the director is a crime against the whole country. It seems Minister Jordan’s insight is still excellent. Although I don’t have any outstanding abilities, I can at least listen to the suggestions of my team and colleagues and stabilize the overall situation.”

“…Yes, yes, yes.’

“In fact, if the previous director had followed my advice and transferred the funds for the donation, he would’ve been selected long ago.”

“…Yes, yes, yes.’

“The more I think about it, the angrier I get,” the director said, frowning. “Stupid European.”

“…Can you stop cursing me in front of my face?” The assistant asked, clenching his fists. “Do you not care about past relationships at all?”

“Stop nagging. Light my cigar.”

…

Middle East, in front of the Interstellar Portal…

Facing the camera, Chen Yu said, “Although the spacecraft’s cabin is large, to ensure a pleasant experience throughout the entire journey, I will only select 20 participants for this interactive event. Ten people will rely on their luck, and ten people will depend on their banknotes to get selected.

“I have already explained the rules in many livestreams in the past, so I won’t repeat them again. Now, let’s start the lottery!

“Firstly, the bullet comment group’s ten guests!”

After Chen Yu finished speaking, bullet comments instantly flooded the various livestream rooms!

[I am the successor of socialism! Pick me!]

[Ahhh!]

[You’re choosing 10 people out of 160 million…]

[Lowering everyone’s win rate.]

[Lowering everyone’s win rate. +1]

[Charge!!!]

[Pick me! Hurry up and pick me! Ah!!!]

The increase in viewership also meant an increase in the audience’s enthusiasm.

Chen Yu had to wait for a whole five minutes before the barrage of bullet comments showed signs of calming down.

Removing his left glove, Chen Yu raised his watch and scrutinized the list of entries for a long time before he managed to select ten IDs. “Stop!

“The bullet comment group’s ten gods have already been chosen. I will now begin announcing their names!

“Bilibili platform, ID Falling Dawn.

“DouYu platform, ID Crooked Cart.

“Afreeca TV platform, ID Leading Pillar.

“TikTok platform, ID Azure Flag.

“Niconico platform, ID…”

Three minutes later, Chen Yu lowered his wrist and spoke clearly, “The lucky gods mentioned above, I have already granted you access to privately message me. You have three minutes to send me your addresses. If any of the selected people are new viewers, please note that if you fail to send me your address within the allotted time, you will be deemed to have given up on your participation qualification.”

[Unlike past livestreams, now that the information ban has thoroughly lost its effectiveness, these people can instantly become internet celebrities.]

[How envious…]

[I’m dying from jealousy.]

“Next, it’s time to select the donation group’s members.”

After taking a moment to sort out the words in his mind, Chen Yu said, “Before I begin the lottery, let me emphasize one thing. Since this interactive event is still related to aerospace, and some observation and collection activities might even occur once we exit the solar system, I will be more inclined to choose astronomy-related individuals, institutions, and organizations. So, for companies unrelated to astronomy, please be careful when making donations.

“Now, with that out of the way…

“The selection for the donation group begins now!”

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, donation notifications started appearing in the livestream rooms one after another. The frequency of their appearance was not the slightest bit inferior to the appearance rate of bullet comments.

[Notice: International Astronomical Union has sent 5,000x Transdimensional Glory!]

[Notice: China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation has sent 6,000x Transdimensional Glory!]

[Notice: ADM·yes Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. has sent 76,543x Super Rockets!]

[Notice: Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. has sent 6,000x Transdimensional Glory!]

[Notice: Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. has…]

[…]

Chen Yu was taken aback when he saw the notifications coming in from the various platforms. After going through all the major platforms, he frowned and wondered whether he should give Jack Ma a chance to join.

Of all the times he could’ve donated, Jack Ma had chosen to do so only after the internet ban had been lifted. Moreover, he had even made such ruthless donations… It was evident he was trying to advertise his company.

Heh, so what if you have money?

Sneering, Chen Yu raised his watch and sent a private message to the Alibaba Company. “I have chosen you ❤️”

Three minutes later, the donation notifications appearing in the various livestream rooms gradually faded away.

Just when everyone thought that Jack Ma was going to secure first place in the donation competition this time, a series of donation notifications suddenly appeared across numerous livestream rooms once more!

[Notice: NASA has sent 20,000x Super Rockets!]

[Notice: NASA has sent 10,000x Transdimensional Glory!]

[Notice: NASA has sent 23,000x Flashlights!]

[Notice: NASA has sent…]

In just one second, NASA had tossed out several billion dollars, directly knocking “Alibaba” off its throne. Moreover, the distance was even growing bigger and bigger.

At this point, everyone could easily tell that this represented the mobilization of national power.

Of all the countries in the world, only China would be able to contend against such wealth.

However, China did not respond to this provocation. After all, China had a share in every interactive event. There was no need to make such an unnecessary expenditure at all.

Meanwhile, after spamming donations for two minutes straight, NASA finally stopped its actions.

Blinking his eyes, Chen Yu began carefully inspecting the amount of money NASA had spent this time.

One, two, three…eight, nine, ten…

It seems someone is angry…
