Chapter 277: Identity in Danger (2)

Jinzhou City, Lanhe District:

The Chen family’s four young masters and Xing Biqi huddled in a corner of the apartment lobby.

The abnormal situation that happened in the early hours of New Year was actually…”

Lowering her voice as much as possible, Xing Biqi said, “A big explosion.”

“That’s right.” Chen Yike nodded. “It’s a big explosion caused by the collision of two asteroids.”

“It wasn’t an asteroid collision, but something called an antimatter bomb instead,” Xing Biqi said. After taking another careful look at her surroundings, she continued, “Transdimensional’s UP detonated the bomb. You mustn’t talk about this to anyone else. I heard from my chat group that many people have been taken away by the government.”

“Transdimensional’s UP? Is it a person?”

“Yes! A very amazing person!”

“Is that so? Awesome, awesome,” Chen Yike said. In reality, though, she paid no heed to the nonsense Xing Biqi just said. She did not believe that an individual would have the ability to cause an explosion that was even more violent than nuclear detonation.

Seeing this, Xing Biqi didn’t say anything more. Instead, she pulled out her phone from her down jacket and opened Bilibili’s application. She then displayed the main page of Transdimensional Review’s channel to Chen Yike and said, “It’s him. You’ll know once you follow him.”

“Seventeen million subscribers?!”

Chen Yike couldn’t help but be shocked when she saw the subscriber count displayed on the screen. “I’ve been using Bilibili all this time as well. Why don’t I know about this UP even though he has over 10 million subscribers?”

At this time, Chen Yu scratched his ears and casually looked around at the several surveillance cameras hanging from the lobby’s ceiling. He then calmly glanced at the security guards eating sunflower seeds in the distant security room.

“Bilibili doesn’t offer recommendations for this UP. You won’t see him if you don’t search for the name ‘Transdimensional Review.’ Moreover, it isn’t just Bilibili. The UP has many subscribers on other local and overseas broadcasting platforms as well. If we add it all together, he should have over 100 million subscribers.”

“Heavens!” Grabbing Xing Biqi’s phone, Chen Yike hurriedly scrolled through Chen Yu’s past videos. When she saw the massive viewership every video received, she couldn’t help but gape in shock. “Aren’t these views bought?”

“No. You’ll understand once you follow him.”

“Okay.” Chen Yike returned the phone to Xing Biqi. She then pulled out her new Vivo phone and opened her Bilibili app. The next moment, however, she froze as she said, “I forgot. The search function got removed after the recent software update.”

“They removed it to prevent people from searching for Transdimensional’s UP. I’ll copy the link and share it with you.”

After the two girls fiddled around with their phones for a moment, Chen Yike also successfully subscribed to Transdimensional Review’s channel. Under Xing Biqi’s guidance, Chen Yike then opened up Chen Yu’s eighth official livestream, which was also the latest review video available.

“The antimatter bomb’s review is considered an additional review, so the UP didn’t upload an edited version of the livestream. However, after you watch his past reviews, you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth.”

Without speaking, Chen Yike clicked on the eighth official livestream’s edited version, hid the tsunami of bullet comments, and observed the video’s content.

“What’s there to watch? Stop wasting time. It’ll get boring if it stops snowing afterward.”

Chen Yu tried to stop Chen Yike from watching the video, but the latter swiftly avoided his hand and said, “Right away! I’ll be ready after watching the video!”

Five minutes later, Chen Yike turned off her phone after watching through half of the edited clip. Feeling her world view shattering, she skeptically asked Xing Biqi, “Isn’t this CG? How can there be something like this? Reviewing future products? Such a thing doesn’t even exist in movies.”

“Wait till the ninth official livestream arrives. You’ll believe it once you watch the livestream,” Xing Biqi said. She then placed a finger on her lip and said, “It’s fine if you don’t believe it even after you watch the stream, but make sure not to tell anyone. You’ll get in trouble very easily.”

“What’s with all the mystery…” Chen Erke, who had been watching the secretive exchange between her elder sister and Xing Biqi, clicked her tongue.

“If… And I mean if,” Chen Yike emphasized. “If this Transdimensional’s UP is real, then did he set off yesterday’s firework to celebrate the New Year?”

“Mhm. I watched the livestream from start to end yesterday. The cause of that massive explosion was only apiece of thumb-sized antimatter. It’s simply magical.”

“Nonsense!” Chen Yike excitedly brandished her little fists. “Big Brother set off the firework for me! Big Brother already told me about it in advance at dinner yesterday!”

Hearing this, Xing Biqi couldn’t help but look at Chen Yu and asked, “In advance?”

“Um… Wasn’t there a report on TV yesterday?” Chen Yu said vaguely. He then dragged Chen Sanke out of the lobby and said, “You two can continue with your bonding here. We’re going to have a snowball fight.”

“Bleh!” After giving Xing Biqi a silly face, Chen Erke merrily hopped after Chen Yu.

“Let’s go! Let’s have a snowball fight!” After seeing her three siblings leaving, Chen Yike hurriedly linked arms with Xing Biqi and said, “Let’s go together.”

“S-Snowball fight? I’m joining as well?”

“Of course! The more, the merrier!”

“B-But I…”

“No buts. I still need you to tell me about Transdimensional Review in detail afterward. I keep getting a familiar feeling when I listen to that UP’s accent.”

“You too?!” Xing Biqi reacted in pleasant surprise. “It’s not just his accent. I’ve been paying attention to his body proportions, manners, and temperament for a long time now, and they all feel very familiar…”

…

Outside the lobby…

Chen Yu held Chen Sanke’s hand with his left hand and tucked his right hand in his pocket. He clenched his fingers subconsciously, a somber look appearing on his face.

At this moment, he was hesitating whether he should find an opportunity to knock his three little sisters unconscious with the Amnesia Bat. Although it was only a matter of time his family found out about Transdimensional Review’s existence, he still wished to extend this time as much as possible.

He didn’t have any great reason for doing so, though. He merely found it embarrassing whenever he thought about having his family pay close attention to his livestreams.

Ten minutes later…

The group of five arrived at the entrance of Jinzhou City’s People’s Park.

Halting his footsteps, Chen Yu gazed at the sparsely populated park. In the end, he gave up the idea of letting his three little sisters have amnesia.

“Are we still having a snowball fight? I’m the best at it!” Chen Erke ran into the park excitedly and quickly formed a snowball. She then threw the snowball at Xing Biqi’s head.

“Ah!” Surprised, Xing Biqi hurriedly stepped back.

“Stop making trouble.” Grabbing Chen Erke, Chen Yu revealed an evil smirk as he pulled out a dozen small paper boxes from his pocket. He then threw them onto the snow and said, “We can’t just have a normal snowball fight on New Year’s Day. It needs to be something special.”

“What’s this?” Chen Yike wondered as she bent over and picked up a box. Immediately afterward, she widened her eyes in shock, “Firecrackers?!”

“Yes, firecrackers.” Tearing open a box, Chen Yu pulled out a firecracker from the box, lit its fuse, stuffed it into a snowball he made and threw the snowball into the sky.

Whoosh—

Bang!

Before the snowball could even succumb to gravity, the firecracker within it exploded, shredding it.

“Wow!” Chen Erke clapped her hands joyfully. “How fun!”

“Brother…” Frowning, Chen Yike asked, “Is it alright to let little children play such a dangerous game?”

“I chose the firecrackers specifically for this occasion. These small ones have very little power,” Chen Yu said as he waved his hand casually. “We used to play with even bigger ones when we were young, and nothing happened back then. Don’t you remember how much fun we used to have? Everything will be fine so long as nobody tries to make trouble.”

“F-Fine…” Chen Yike said, tempted by Chen Yu’s words.

“We just need to keep a close eye on Second Eldest and make sure she doesn’t do anything stupid.” After pulling out all the firecrackers in his pockets, Chen Yu said, “You guys distribute the firecrackers and start playing first. I’m going to the toilet.”

After saying so, Chen Yu ran into the forest located by the park’s plaza.

Shortly afterward, he found Little Peach, who was sitting on a pile of snow.

“Mr. Chen! You’re finally here! Can we start playing now?” Little Peach cheered and threw herself onto Chen Yu.

“Sure, but I have to tell you one thing in advance. If you don’t listen to my words, I won’t bring you along,” Chen Yu said as he pushed Little Peach away. “Will you be obedient?”

“I will! I’ll listen to anything you say!”

“Good. The situation’s like this: Shortly after I had you teleport to the park, a guest came to our house, so I ended up bringing her along to play with us. You are not allowed to injure her no matter what!”

“Why would I? The more, the merrier!” Little Peach said as she rubbed her palms together. “Who’s the guest?”

“Xing Biqi.”

“…”

“…Why are your eyes breathing fire…”
