Chapter 8: I Seem to Have Forgotten Something?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

[Chen Yu: “Didn’t you say that it wouldn’t explode?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “?”]

[Chen Yu: “Why did it explode all of a sudden?!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Did it explode when you were doing the experiment?”]

[Chen Yu: “Yes! I followed the manual exactly and pressed the detonation b.u.t.ton as I was told, and it really exploded! My protective gear shattered too!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]

[Chen Yu: “Will the radiation leak out?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Be at ease. There’s a special type of film applied on the protective gear. It won’t bring about any harm to you.”]

Seeing the other party’s explanation, Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief and plopped down to the floor weakly.

During the shoot, his heart jumped out from his chest when the nuclear explosion shattered the protective gla.s.s…

[Chen Yu: “How are you going to explain this situation? I need compensation!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, I said it wouldn’t explode randomly, but I didn’t say it wouldn’t explode if you arm it and detonate it!”]

[Chen Yu: “This is a toy, okay? It shouldn’t explode at all!”

[Transdimensional Marketing: “In reality, most children are unable to detonate this product. I have no idea how you managed to.”]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “You are incredibly smart. Congratulations.”]

[Chen Yu: “…Are you still sure that this is a children’s toy?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes. The explosives should be equivalent to only 0.7 gram of TNT, and the protective gear is more than safe. Please be at ease.”]

Chen Yu stared at his mobile phone screen silently for a few moments before sending over a reply.

[Chen Yu: “Fine. I’ll suck it up this time around. Please have mercy on me in the future and do not send me such dangerous or insane products. Please. My life is precious.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I’ll try my best, Mr. Chen.”]

Chen Yu turned his mobile phone off and walked to his bed, plopping down on it.

After going through a terrifying and nerve-wracking experience, Chen Yu was overtaken by exhaustion and drowsiness within no time. He was dying to drift into a deep sleep immediately.

But Chen Yu only took a five-minute rest before he forced himself to clean up the room that was in a mess right now.

About ten minutes later, the room was back as it was, and the script was now ashes.

Chen Yu sat right at the computer desk, connecting his camera to his laptop to transfer the 25 gigabyte video over. After thirty seconds, he clicked open the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal and opened the second tab—[Video Editing].

In the [Video Editing] page, there was a selection called [Smart Editing] that was right in the middle. It stood out the most among all other selections.

“Auto-cut?”

Navigating his cursor, Chen Yu clicked on [Smart Editing] hesitantly. His screen flickered, and instantly, his video of 25 gigabytes was cut into umpteen parts. It was then combined, overlapped, and changed with each other within no time….

A few seconds later, a nicely edited video of fifteen minutes was presented to Chen Yu, who watched the process take place in front of his eyes dumbfoundedly.

“It’s… done?”

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

How could a program identify the content inside the video and determine which parts were necessary and which were unnecessary? Did the program understand a human’s aesthetic concepts? Did this application come with an AI?

Moreover, was this program not restricted by his laptop’s hardware? How was it able to complete the edit so rapidly?

A few moments later, Chen Yu finally regained his senses. He immediately pressed “Play” to check the results.

Not only were there no mistakenly used clips throughout the fifteen-minute long video, but subt.i.tles, background music, sound effects, and special effects were also added to the video. The only problem was that his voice still remained the same, but that could be adjusted simply.

“Amazing!”

This left Chen Yu speechless. He was full of respect for humans and technology from the future.

If other Bilibili content creators found out about this, they would go crazy…

After making adjustments to his voice, Chen Yu saved the video, uploaded it onto Bilibili, and scheduled for it to be released at 9 A.M. Subsequently, he couldn’t help but re-watch the video. Satisfied, he kept nodding his head.

Even though Chen Yu’s speech and performance were slightly amateurish, the video was entertaining nonetheless. Especially the slow-motion effect and background music that were added to the scene where the mushroom cloud was ignited with the help of special gases in the protective gear after he finished a.s.sembling the bomb. The scene was so mind-blowing that even the special effects seen in movies were incomparable to it.

He could not help but admit that the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory was absolutely eye-catching!

It was extremely suited for a content creator, like himself, that lacked a subscriber base.

“I’m looking forward to the reviews from the audience tomorrow….”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Yu was lying down on his bed, giving free rein to his imagination, when somebody banged on his door once again.

Watching dust fall off his ceiling, Chen Yu knew that it must’ve been Chen Sanke….

“What?” Chen Yu shouted as a response.

“Big Brother! Lunch time!”

Hearing this, he rubbed his stomach subconsciously. He was indeed getting hungry. He shut his laptop and went to open up the door to see that Chen Sanke wasn’t the only person standing at the door. There was also Chen Yike, who was trying to sneakily worm her way into his room.

“What are you doing?” Chen Yu stretched out his hand, blocking Chen Yike.

“I’m going in to take a look.”

“Nope.”

“Why can you casually enter my room as you wish but I can’t do the same to you?” Chen Yike asked, displeased.

“When did I enter your room casually? I got a beating from yesterday, no?”

“Then you can beat me up too!” Chen Yike stuck her head in Chen Yu’s chest, trying to force her way through. “C’mon! I’m going in to take a look.”

“You…!” Chen Yu’s eyes widened. He raised his hand, posturing to give her a slap.

But Chen Yike was staring at him with puppy dog eyes. “You can’t bear to do it.”

Chen Yu: “…”

When the pair of siblings were in a deadlock, Chen Sanke, who was of a smaller size, had already taken a tour around Chen Yu room. “Big Sis, there’s no rope or knives in Big Brother’s room. The windows are closed too.” Chen Sanke walked out, speaking in a cute manner.

“How much are you hoping that I’ll commit suicide?” Chen Yu facepalmed.

“I’m just worried for you!” Chen Yike flushed red in anger. “You have been acting secretively these days! How do I know what you’re actually up to?”

“…Okay. It’s my bad.” Chen Yu sighed and moved aside. “Go in and do whatever you want.”

Chen Yike immediately stepped into the room with her arms akimbo. She glanced around the room. Suddenly, she pointed at Chen Yu’s bed. “You moved the bed!”

“So what?”

“There must be something beneath it!”

“…”

Chen Yike was right.

He had hidden the makeshift table and Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory under his bed.

“I’m going to take a look to see what it is.”

But before Chen Yike could walk toward Chen Yu’s bed, she was thrown out of the room.

Bang!

Chen Yu shut the door tight and locked it from the outside. “You’re right, there is something beneath my bed, but I’m not going to let you take a look.” He shrugged.

“Then I’ll tell mom about it!”

“Do you still want the money for the school trip?”

“…You can buy my body but never my heart!”

“That doesn’t sound right.”

“If you don’t come for lunch, then I’ll eat your portion!” Chen Yike snorted, pulling Chen Sanke into the kitchen with her.

After keeping the key well, Chen Yu followed them into the kitchen and sat on his seat. As soon as Chen Yu started eating, he shot up in shock.

“What’s wrong? Are the vegetables too salty?” Chen Yike asked with doubt.

“I feel like I have forgotten something.”

“What?”

“I can’t remember it now.” Chen Yu frowned.

“Homework?”

“I never do my homework.”

Chen Yike rolled her eyes. She picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into her mouth, munching on it. “Actually, I feel that I have forgotten something too, but I don’t know what, so I did not dwell on it.”

“Nevermind.” Chen Yu waved his hands and ate in peace. “Let’s talk about it when we remember it….”

…

At the same time, Chen Erke stood outside of the abacus learning center, hugging the unopened bottle of black tea in her hands. She blinked her eyes, looking dazed as she stared at the busy streets while daydreaming away.

“Erke, is there no one to pick you up yet? The cla.s.s ended more than half an hour ago.” A female teacher walked out, squatting down next to Erke.

“No….” Chen Erke said, scratching her head.
