Pushing open the security door, Chen Yu arrived back home together with Chen Sanke.

“Huh?”

As soon as Chen Yu stepped into the house, his nose twitched, and he frowned, “Why is there the smell of barbecue?”

“Big Brother! My snacks!” Chen Sanke paid no attention to the smell in the house. After grabbing the bag of snacks in Chen Yu’s hand, she ran away laughing.

“How heavy.” Chen Sanke wobbled straight into the master bedroom and placed the snacks on her small bed. After giving her waist a rub, she pulled out two packets of sandwich biscuits, hurried out of the bedroom, and looked around.

“Third Eldest, what are you doing?”

“I…I want to hide them. I can’t let Big Sisters know.”

“Oh.” Realization dawned upon Chen Yu.

“Woof~” Realization dawned upon the husky.

After making several rounds in the living room, Chen Sanke hid her biscuits underneath the sofa and TV cabinet. She then returned to the master bedroom and grabbed four bags of roasted seaweed. And under Chen Yu and the husky’s earnest gazes, she hid the seaweed behind the flower bed.

Afterward, she hid away three bags of potato chips, two bags of beef jerky, five bottles of yogurt, a bag of Wangwang crisps, a bag of Wangzai steamed buns…

Meanwhile, Chen Yu and the husky watched all of this happen with a blank gaze.

“I’ve hidden everything!” Chen Sanke cheered happily. “I won’t lose them this time.”

Chen Yu: “Sure.”

The husky: “Woof.”

“‘Woof’ my ass. Follow me.” Chen Yu dragged the husky to the bathroom by its ear. “You didn’t mess around at home today, right?”

“NOooo.” The husky solemnly shook its head.

“Good. Since you listened to what I said, take this cigarette,” Chen Yu said as he pulled out a Hongtashan[1] and clipped it on the husky’s ear. He then turned around and left.

Ptui~

Once Chen Yu left, the husky “sneered” and shook its head, sending the Hongtashan falling into the toilet. It then reached under the sink with its paw, pulled out a pack of Chunghwa[2], and calmly pulled out a cigarette…

Meanwhile, as soon as Chen Yu returned to his bedroom, the leisurely expression he wore in front of his little sisters disappeared. Lying down on his bed, he let out a deep sigh.

“M-Mr. Chen, you’re back?”

“Mhm.”

“Oh.” Little Peach rapidly typed away at the keyboard while sneaking a glance at Chen Yu.

Sensing Little Peach’s gaze on him, Chen Yu turned around and asked, “What are you looking at me like that for?”

“N-Nothing…” Little Peach hurriedly turned away.

“Hm?” Growing suspicious, Chen Yu sat up and visually inspected Little Peach. “You…didn’t get into trouble, right?”

“No!” Little Peach fervently shook her head. “How could that be possible?! I’m your most obedient romance robot! I won’t cause you any trouble!”

“Why do I feel that something is wrong with you…”

“Nothing’s wrong at all!” Little Peach vowed.

After staring at Little Peach for a while, Chen Yu stopped thinking and laid back on his bed.

At this time, he had more important things to think about.

Seeing this, Little Peach breathed out a sigh of relief. However, after typing on the keyboard for another few minutes, she cautiously said, “M-Mr. Chen…”

“What?”

“I have something I want to tell you.”

“Crap!” Glaring at Little Peach, Chen Yu said, “I freaking knew you got into trouble!”

“No, no!” Little Peach waved her hands repeatedly. “I-It’s just that a problem came up with a program I designed, and I…I had to compensate money to the buyer…”

“You lost money? How much?”

“T-Ten thousand Chinese yuan… I’m sorry…”

“Is that it?” Hearing Little Peach’s answer, Chen Yu indifferently waved his hand and said, “You didn’t do it on purpose. Just be careful next time.”

“Mhm!” Little Peach was moved. “Mr. Chen, you’re really kind.”

“Focus on coding, and don’t disturb me. I’m a little irritated right now.”

“Mhm! I’ll work hard!” Little Peach declared with her fists raised. At the same time, she inwardly swore,

I’ll definitely win next time…

Chen Yu laid on his bed from morning to noon. However, the more he rested, the more tired he felt.

Climbing out of bed, he picked up the

Civilization’s Shining Moment

and sternly flipped through the journal…

After flipping through the hundred pages, Chen Yu grabbed a notebook and wrote down a series of product names.

Golden Middle Finger.

Interstellar Portal.

Weather Control Module.

IAI Island-building Ship.

Full-coverage Special Protective Suit.

Type-K Beast Armor.

Maglev Train.

The above seven high-tech products were currently the assets he possessed.

As for the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes, Quantum Reading Glasses, Life Sphere, etc., he didn’t count them as part of his assets. They didn’t possess much value either.

Chen Yu stared at the seven listed products. However, even after his eyes had turned bloodshot, he still hadn’t figured out a way he could cope with the impending crisis.

Logically, since humans existed in the far future, and these humans had even sent him so many products for advertisement, this proved that humans did not go extinct.

However, this was only under the premise that parallel universes did not exist.

Meanwhile, through his first time communicating with the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff, he had found out that time, space, and the future were complex matters.

On the one hand, there was the time paradox’s single universe. On the other hand, there was the complex and changeable multiverse. Chen Yu could not help but have a headache as he thought about these two matters.

The conflicting point between the two was as contradictory and irreconcilable as quantum mechanics and general relativity…

And even if there was only a single universe, while humans wouldn’t go extinct, he did not know whether human civilization would suffer severe damage from the upcoming crisis.

And even when Chen Yu consulted the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff, the reply he got was a simple, “This is part of the solar system’s history.”

Due to this reason, Chen Yu did not feel confident about humanity’s chances against this upcoming catastrophe.

Snap.

Closing his notebook, Chen Yu stood up and walked up the window. He then silently looked up into space.

“Mr. Chen, what are you looking at?” Little Peach curiously asked as he followed Chen Yu’s gaze.

“I’m looking at how terribly scary deep space is…”

The next day, 8:50 AM:

The special situation teams of the world’s various governments started getting busy.

The middle-aged team leader of China’s special situation team also arrived at the Observer Foundation’s headquarters in New York, America, together with his team members. He then briefly conversed with the other people present while making the necessary preparations.

Transdimensional Review was only hosting an additional livestream today.

However, due to the announcement made on Transdimensional Review’s channel last week, everyone treated this upcoming additional livestream with far more urgency than they did with the official livestreams.

Every government and academic circle in the world, including the ordinary people who knew of Transdimensional Review’s existence, were quietly waiting before their screens for the additional livestream.

Or, to put it in another way, everyone was waiting for the Transdimensional Review’s UP’s “verdict.”

Everyone was inwardly conflicted.

This was especially true for ordinary people. They found the situation to be novel yet unsettling and exciting yet despairing. To put it simply, they were eager to watch the excitement, yet they were afraid of being hurt.

“Mr. Chen, are you sure you want to wear this for today?” Little Peach asked as she unfolded a suit. “It feels strange seeing you wear a suit.”

“There’s nothing strange about it.”

Chen Yu accepted the suit and quietly put it on. “I just feel like being a little formal. Anyway, today’s livestream isn’t a review.”

“What about me? Should I wear a suit as well?”

“You don’t need to attend this livestream.”

“I don’t?” Little Peach was surprised.

“Mhm. Stay at home.” Chen Yu nodded. He then put on his mask, clamped the journal in his armpit, and pushed open the Interstellar Portal.

“M-Mr. Chen, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Chen Yu said. In the next moment, however, he paused his footsteps and pointed at the rolled-up poster sitting on his bed, “Bring that to me.”

Little Peach grabbed the poster, and hesitantly handed it to Chen Yu.

“…”

After accepting the poster, Chen Yu unfurled it and swept a glance at the picture printed on it. He then walked across the door and said, “I’m leaving.”

Bang.

The Interstellar Portal closed.

Little Peach, however, remained standing still with a stunned expression on her face.

With the astronomy knowledge she learned in the past few days, she recognized the thing drawn on the poster.

That was the most extreme celestial body in the universe—
