“Trash!

“You’re a perfect piece of trash!

“Is there nothing you can do right?! How can you even forget to pick Second Eldest up from class? Good-for-nothing! Why did I not forget you back then?” 

In the Chen family’s living room, Chen Yu and Chen Yike sat on the couch obediently, receiving Mrs. Chen’s scoldings, not daring to utter a refuting statement. 

On the side stood Chen Erke with the bottle of black tea in her hands and Chen Sanke suckling on her finger. They were watching the scene happily. 

“This will be the last time,” Chen Yu raised his hands and said. 

“Of course this will be the last time!” Mrs. Chen raged. “Why would there be a next time? If the teacher did not call me, I bet that it would have never crossed your mind even until your wedding day!” 

“Pu… hahahaha.” Chen Yike burst out laughing right next to Chen Yu. She held it in immediately, but it was too late; Mrs. Chen had already diverted her anger onto her. 

“Laughing? How dare you still laugh? Your brother has always been a careless person, but you’re a girl! How can you be careless!? I don’t know how you still have the face to laugh when you managed to forget your own younger sister!” 

“Haha.” 

The “victim,” Chen Erke, couldn’t contain her laughter either. Thus, Mrs. Chen changed her target once again! 

“You must be happy that I’m scolding them and not you, right? I don’t know how you can wait for an hour and a half like a fool! If your brother is not there to fetch you, then ask the teacher to call! If you can’t remember my number, don’t tell me you can’t remember 110! It’s just three numbers! Do you think being jobless is fun? Do you know how hard it was for me to get a job at the restaurant? Now I’m going to lose the job because I went off to pick you up as soon as I started the job!” 

“Kekekeke….”

Chen Sanke burst out laughing. However, she shut her mouth at once and took two steps back. “I… I’m still young,” she explained stupidly. 

“…” Mrs. Chen stared at Chen Sanke and nodded. “Fine, you’re still young. I will wait until you grow older.” 

With that, Mrs. Chen threw a death glare at her children. She picked up her purse and turned to leave the house.

“Mom! Where are you going?” Chen Yike shouted worriedly “Weren’t you fired?”

“To pay the electricity bill!”

“Didn’t you pay it this morning?”

“I forgot!” Mrs. Chen shouted in reply and banged the door shut.

Chen Yu: “…”

Chen Yike: “…”

Chen Erke: “…”

Chen Sanke: “…”

After Mrs. Chen left, the Chen siblings exchanged a glance and left to do their own things.

Yike went to study, Erke started drawing, and Sanke watched Erke draw.

As for Chen Yu, he returned to his bedroom and locked the door. He then pulled out the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory from under his bed and started brainstorming on what to do with it. 

The “Transdimensional Marketing” salesperson said that the radiation would not leak, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Technological products were always unpredictable. 

Even Brand S, a well-known and established business, managed to mix up batteries and bombs, causing many customers to be unhappy with them. 

However, he couldn’t sell the laboratory.

It also wasn’t a decent gift to give away.

He couldn’t just simply throw it away either, as he would be digging his own grave. 

He also had no use for it personally and leaving it at home would bring him trouble sooner or later. 

This was a thorny problem.

Chen Yu frowned, thinking hard. A few moments later, Chen Yu came to the conclusion that it would be difficult to get rid of the product himself, thus he took out his mobile phone to contact the salesperson. 

[Chen Yu: “Are you there?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I will always be here for you, Mr. Chen.”]

[Chen Yu: “What’s your gender? Can you stop speaking so ambiguously? It’s giving me goosebumps.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, I’m female.”]

[Chen Yu: “Oh, your words are fine then. I like them.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…How may I help you?”]

[Chen Yu: “I have a question.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Please speak, Mr. Chen.”]

[Chen Yu: “Can I return the technological products you sent? It’s of no use to me and it is also a hassle for me to throw away.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “We can reclaim the products if you do not need them after you have reviewed them.”]

[Chen Yu: “Reclaim? Do I get money out of it?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “No.”]

[Chen Yu: “Then how could you call it reclaiming if I’m not going to be paid for it?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “While we won’t give you any money, we will give you gifts based on the reclaimed product’s value.”]

[Chen Yu: “What gifts?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The product that you’re going to send back is the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory, right?”]

[Chen Yu: “Do you think I have any other products?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Alright. Hold on. I’ll inquire about it for you.”]

And immediately after he received the previous message, Chen Yu got a reply.

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The Nuclear Energy Laboratory is expensive, thus we can give you one of the three following items.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “1 – Polar Spring Water. 2 – Nutritional Mineral Water. 3 – Refined Asteroid Water.”]

[Chen Yu: “So I can only exchange for three bottles of water?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “No, just one.”]

[Chen Yu: “You’re trying to earn as much as you can, huh?”] 

All Chen Yu got in reply was a smiley face.

[Chen Yu: “Tell me the difference between these three bottles of water then. Since it’s water from the future, it should be equipped with some special effects, right?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: Polar Spring Water: uses spring water from an ice cave located in the North Pole. Nutritional Mineral Water: pure water with numerous vitamins and minerals. Refined Asteroid Water: water extracted from meteorites and purified.”] 

[Chen Yu: “…so they are just three ordinary bottles of water?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes, Mr. Chen. So, which one will you take?”]

[Chen Yu: “None! I won’t exchange for anything, okay?!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, please be understanding. Think about this; how much does a pager that cost an arm and a leg in the past cost in your current world?”]

[Chen Yu: “Don’t bullshit with me! I would rather bring this toy laboratory to my grave than exchange it for a bottle of water!”]

Humans were strange creatures.

Initially, Chen Yu only hoped that the other party would get rid of the “piece of trash” for him. 

However, when it was offered to be exchanged with “something,” he started pin-pointing the cons of this “something.”

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Hold on. I’ll try to see if I can apply for something that you would like.”]

[Chen Yu: “You can save your energy if it’s going to be another bottle of water.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, there’s something you’re unaware of. Natural pure water is considered a more precious drink in my time. It’s not cheap to get them.”]

[Chen Yu: “I don’t need water.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Okay, hold on.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I have managed to get you three new choices according to your likely needs 1 – Enhanced Memory Circlet. 2 – Microkinetic Basketball Shoes. 3 – Precision Homing Slingshot.”]

Chen Yu’s eyes lit up at the message as he typed a reply happily.

[Chen Yu: “Sounds good! Tell me more about them.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I suggest that you take the water. These aren’t as valuable as the water, price-wise.”]

[Chen Yu: “I do not care about your opinion. Only my opinion matters.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]
