Chapter 238 – Livestream Activated! Shocking Reveal! (2)

Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company, President’s Office:

Bang! Bang!

A knock came from the office’s solid wooden doors.

“Come in.”

“President Kerr.” A voluptuous white woman entered the room and placed a set of documents on the table. “An order just came down from the board of directors. They’ve said to obtain a participation slot in Transdimensional Review’s interactive event no matter what to collect samples and start research as soon as possible.”

“Have the funds arrived?”

“Yes. You have full discretion over them.”

Hearing this, President Kerr instantly felt an indescribable sense of pressure bearing down on him.

Standing up, Kerr placed his hands into his pockets and walked to the window. As he looked at the distant scenery, cold sweat drenched his back. “How is the company’s stock faring?”

“…” After a moment of silence, the female assistant from the board of directors uttered two words, “Total collapse.”

“…”

“The major stockholders have lost confidence in the company, which resulted in a chain reaction. Although most stockholders still aren’t aware of what’s going on, after seeing the stock prices of all pharmaceutical companies plummeting, they, too, have abandoned their stocks, causing an even greater chain reaction.”

“Has there been any word from the government?”

“We are negotiating with various pharmaceutical companies. Wall Street’s major investment banks are also panicking and making their way here. However, you are not required to manage this. You only have one task—Get a slot and collect samples!”

“…Understood.”

President Kerr nodded. After taking a deep breath, he pushed a button on his desk.

Shortly afterward, seven of his assistants hurriedly rushed into his office and stood before him.

“Transfer all funds in Account B to our 28 subsidiary pharmaceutical companies in batches. Take full advantage of our multinational group and participate in the slot competition on all platforms.”

“We don’t have enough funds,” the board of directors’ assistant said, frowning. “If you spread out our funds like this, we won’t make it into the top three.”

“Top three?” Sneering, Kerr pointed at the string of numbers stated on the document, “With just this much money, we won’t even get into the top five! Rather than compete for the top five positions of a single platform, we’ll be better off having all of our subsidiaries compete on all platforms. Transdimensional’s UP doesn’t always choose the biggest donor.”

“Very well. You’re in charge anyway,” the female assistant shrugged.

“I remember that there’s a department in the company that once analyzed the UP’s psychological portrait, right?”

“Yes.” A man among Kerr’s seven assistants nodded. “There are two psychology majors in the Personnel Department. They did a psychological portrait of Transdimensional’s UP during their free time.”

“Call those two people over! Have them change the subsidiary companies’ names based on the UP’s thinking and logic.”

“Yes, sir!”

…

America, NASA’s headquarters:

“Director, the request for additional funding has been approved. It will be transferred over immediately.”

“Good.” The director nodded with a sullen face. “Have all departments get ready. The product this time is special, and we must grab a spot no matter what!”

“Yes, sir!”

…

China, Chinese Academy of Sciences:

At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the sterile laboratory of the medical department. After picking up the microphone, he anxiously shouted at the old man inside the glass laboratory, “Teacher, I just heard that we’re not competing for a participation slot in Transdimensional Review’s interactive event this time?

“Those dopamine vapors and microbial bacteria hold great importance! Why aren’t we participating? If we delay things any more, we won’t have enough time to have the necessary funds transferred over!”

“Participate?” While holding onto a test tube labeled with the words “microbial bacteria” in his left hand, the old director turned around and stared at the middle-aged man with a puzzled look. “Why should we participate? To waste money?”

The middle-aged man: “…”

…

After Chen Yu announced the Fight Pillow’s effect, many companies, governments, institutions, and scientific organizations worldwide instantly fell into chaos.

Compared with the products Chen Yu had evaluated in the past, this insignificant object had a much greater impact on their current livelihoods and society!

Inside the floating castle, Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the dense wall of text displayed on his watch. He then faced the camera and sternly said, “It seems everyone has already understood the particularity of this product. In that case, I’ll announce the selection rules for this interactive livestream.

“One: Healthy people shouldn’t participate in the bullet comment selection. Leave the opportunity to your compatriots with more urgent physiological conditions. Moreover, those selected cannot leave after the livestream is over. You still have to participate in follow-up tests.

“Two: The higher education group will be removed and replaced with the hospital group. All major hospitals around the world can participate in the competition for slots. Also, selected hospitals must gather exactly 30 patients and 3 doctors for the event.

“Three: Some of the materials on the Fight Pillow can be collected, but you are not allowed to take the pillow as a whole. Otherwise, both the hospital and the hospital’s country of origin will be blacklisted.

“That’s all I have to say. Now, as usual, we’ll start with selecting the bullet comment group’s members.”

Approaching the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, “I’ll choose a total of 10 IDs. The competition starts now!”

[Nobody compete with me! I’ve committed suicide before! There’s a problem with my brain!]

[My whole family is sick, thank you.]

[I’m sick too!]

[I have an unknown sickness!]

[I’m so sick I don’t even know I’m sick!]

[Please, I beg you all! I’m really sick! Stop competing with me!]

[*Raises hand weakly* Does poverty count as a sickness?]

[UP has created a new era of livestreaming…]

Perhaps Chen Yu’s instructions had been effective, but despite the 10 livestream rooms having over 14 million viewers in total, the bullet comments appearing were far fewer than usual.

After waiting for several minutes, Chen Yu said, “Stop!

“I’ve chosen the 10 lucky winners for the bullet comment group. I will now start reading the list.

“Bilibili, ID Under the Moon; ID Unrealistic.

“DouYu, ID Lotus Guru.

“Youtube, ID Zhu Lish—”

Pausing, Chen Yu frowned and turned off the livestream’s audio. He then shouted, “Hermione!”

“I’m here.” The magical girl immediately appeared behind Chen Yu. “Lord Headmaster, is there a problem?”

“Help me take a look at this. How do you read this word?” Chen Yu asked as he pointed at his watch’s screen.

“Let me! I know a lot of words as well!” Little Peach eagerly poked her head forward. After looking at the watch’s screen, she said, “This word is pronounced as ‘Shuo’! It’s Zhu Lishuo!”

“No.” Shaking her head, Hermione said, “It’s pronounced as ‘Shui.’ Zhu Lishui.”

“Oh. You can step back.”

“Okay.”

Hermione nodded. With a wave of her staff, she disappeared into the void once more.

After turning the livestream’s audio back on, Chen Yu repeated, “Youtube, ID Zhu Lishui.”

“Niconico, ID… Uh…”

Stunned, Chen Yu carefully observed the numerous IDs showing on Niconico’s bullet comment section. “Why is everyone’s name in Chinese? Isn’t this a Japanese platform? I’ve chosen plenty of Chinese already, so I’m not choosing anymore. I’m skipping Niconico.”

“Periscope, ID wenyejie.

“Twitch…”

After reciting the 10 IDs he selected, Chen Yu lowered his watch and loudly said, “The 10 friends mentioned above, I’ve already granted you access to privately message me. Please send your addresses to me within one minute. Note that you should choose a spacious location.”

[Bastards! Everyone’s a bastard!]

[If those selected form a team, they can definitely bankrupt lottery companies.]

[In the end, this world still belongs to RNGesus.]

[I’m crying.]

[Don’t cry. There are plenty more opportunities to cry in the future.]

“Next, the donation group.”

Raising his right hand, Chen Yu shouted, “It’s time to contribute to the charity of all mankind and brandish your notes! Start!”

[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out 5,000x Transdimensional Glory!]

[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out 20,000x Lamps!]

[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out 58,888x Super Rockets!]

[Notice: NASA Aerospace has sent out…]

“Wait a minute!” Chen Yu suddenly called out. He then showed his watch’s screen to the camera and said in dissatisfaction, “This NASA ID is spamming the screen! Disqualified!”

[NASA Aerospace: “What???”]
