Chapter 75: One Left…

Chapter 75 – One Left…

While standing on the dirt slope of Qinghai Plateau, Chen Yu crossed his fingers and started giving a summary to the camera.

“Scientific progress is the main driving force behind social production and economic development. It will change human life in aspects such as communication, consumption, learning, leisure, and entertainment. At the same time, though, scientific progress will also bring about environmental pollution, ecological crises, war crimes, resource shortages, cultural collapse, and many other adverse effects.

“However, whether it is good or bad, scientific progress cannot be stopped. People can only passively endure it.

“We are currently living in the year 2020. We do not know what future humans will experience. We do not know what kind of drastic changes will occur in future society. We also do not know whether future technology will bring about happiness or suffering. We can only get a glimpse of the future through these future products.

“As someone of the current era, I cannot evaluate how people in the future will make use of this ‘Interstellar Portal.’ I only know that, even in the year 3800, humanity is still advancing.”

Pausing for a short moment, Chen Yu spread his arms and let the cooling wind blow on his haori.

“Today’s livestream will come to an end here.

“I would like to thank the Transcendence Group for providing me with this advanced technological product. I will release an edited version of this livestream at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning, so I hope everyone here can share it with others. Only by having more friends watching my livestream will I be able to bring out better products. The Interstellar Portal is merely an appetizer.

“The livestream will continue next month.

“Be there, or be square.”

[Wow!]

[Not enough!]

[Why is your livestream so short?!]

[It’s too short!]

[I want to see you teleporting to Area 51! I’ll believe you if you can actually do it!]

[Can you take a look at the moon? I want to see if there are actually any footprints there.]

[To the White House! To the White House! To the White House!]

Ignoring the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu turned off the livestream without hesitation, causing everyone’s screen to go dark.

…

“…”

Sitting on the dirt slope, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief as he muttered to himself, “This livestream has gone relatively smoothly. I didn’t forget any of my lines.”

“King, there’s a shepherd to your left. He seems to be calling the police right now.”

“It’s fine, ignore him,” Chen Yu said as he raised his wrist to look at the time. He then approached the Interstellar Portal and manipulated the holographic Earth to reestablish a spatial link with the Sahara Desert.

The Sahara Desert was void of people, so he could change the portal’s appearance without worrying about the watching eye of others. After arriving at the Sahara Desert, he promptly changed the portal’s appearance to resemble his room’s wooden door and returned to his bedroom together with Little Peach.

Thud!

Throwing himself onto his bed, Chen Yu rolled around comfortably. “Sure enough, it’s best to be at home.”

“That’s right.” Little Peach nodded in agreement. “I experienced an adventure with ‘King’ today. I am delighted. Favorability increased by 20 points.

Chen Yu: “…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu grabbed his pillow and slammed it on Little Peach’s head. “What are you increasing for?! Go learn programming! Go get a job and earn money! Idiot!”

“Uu…” In response, Little Peach aggrievedly stomped her feet.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

The entire room actually started shaking at Little Peach’s stomps.

“Stop stomping! This is the nineteenth floor!” Chen Yu bellowed.

“Brother!”

Bang! Bang!

In no time at all, Chen Yike’s frightened voice and sounds of knocking came from outside the room. “I think it’s an earthquake!”

Giving Little Peach a glare, Chen Yu turned to the door and explained, “Stop exaggerating things! I just dropped something on accident!”

“Did you collapse the ceiling?”

“…Why don’t you just say I destroyed the sturdy wall?”

“Brother, I’m going in to take a look! Open up! Whenever it’s Sunday, you’ll always cause a scene at home!”

“Stop making noise! I’m trying to sleep!”

“Open up! Brother!” Chen Yike demanded as she stomped her foot. However, it was evident that her stomps were far from being comparable with Little Peach’s.

“Argh…” Scratching his head, Chen Yu complained, “Women really are troublesome.”

Jumping out of bed, Chen Yu removed his haori and tossed it under the bed. He then turned to Little Peach and said in a low voice, “Go invisible. Hide your clothing as well.”

“Yes, sir.”

Little Peach nodded. She then hurriedly entered invisibility mode, removed the cheongsam, and tossed the cheongsam under his bed as well.

“Brother, if you don’t open up, I’m calling mom.”

“I’m coming, I’m coming.”

After changing into normal wear, Chen Yu approached the door and unlocked it. Pushing it away, he looked at Chen Yike and said, “Come in and have a look. See whether the ceiling has fallen or not.”

“I’m just worried you might fall into danger,” Chen Yike said in dissatisfaction as she walked into the bedroom. After taking a good look at the room, she continued, “I thought an earthquake happened just now when I was in the living room. As an elder brother, can you be more honest in your actions?”

“Fine, fine, fine. Did mom send Second Eldest to cram school?”

“She’s not back yet. She’ll make lunch afterward.”

“Is there anything to eat, then? I’m hungry.”

“There are still some leftover buns in the kitchen. The snacks on the coffee table are Third Eldest’s, don’t eat them!”

“Mhm.”

After responding to Chen Yike’s words, Chen Yu walked into the living room and noticed Chen Sanke, who was currently snoring on the sofa. Without a shred of guilt, he picked up her gold-plated feeding bottle, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down the goat milk inside. Afterward, he picked up Chen Sanke’s favorite butter cookies from the coffee table and ate everything in three bites.

Snacks turned bad especially quickly. As an elder brother, if he didn’t eat them while they were still good, would he still be human?

Clap, clap.

After patting away the crumbs on his hands, Chen Yu returned to his room with a satisfied stomach. However, the moment he entered his room, he saw a scene that thoroughly shocked him.

Currently, Chen Yike was holding onto a skirt Little Peach had worn before and looked at Chen Yu with a look of utter disbelief.

Chen Yu: “…”

Chen Yike: “…”

Both siblings looked at each other with widened eyes, the muscles in their bodies remaining in a stiffened state.

Time, seemingly stopped at this moment.

Sound, seemingly vanished at this moment.

After some time, Chen Yu’s trembling lips parted, “T-That looks like your skirt? Where did you find it?”

“It was… It was on the bed…”

“Haha, how mysterious… Hahaha…”

Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Chen Yike asked, “My… My skirt… Why is it in your room?”

“Maybe I brought it back by accident when I was washing my clothes…”

Lowering her head and focusing her vision on the skirt, Chen Yike said, “It looks worn…”

“…” Having run out of excuses, Chen Yu slowly covered his face with his hands.

“Brother…” Her cheeks flushing red, Chen Yike became lost for words. In the next moment, she ran out of the room together with her skirt.

“Eldest! Let me explain!” Chen Yu begged with an outstretched arm.

In response, Chen Yike paused momentarily, her ears bright red as she said, “Brother, I never thought you had this kind of hobby.”

After saying so, Chen Yike ran back to her room as if escaping from a monster and shut the door with a “bang.”

Chen Yu: “…”

Chen Sanke, who was sound asleep on the sofa, got startled awake by the loud sound. Opening her eyes and staring at her surroundings in a daze, she quickly noticed the empty feeding bottle and biscuit box on the coffee table. She then began pondering about when she had eaten her snacks…

“Ugh…”

Meanwhile, Chen Yu also shut the door to his room and walked up to his window, his face void of life as he gazed at the busy street down below.

“It’s over…

“My sisters are finally going to treat me like a pervert…”
