Chapter 108 – Daily Life (1)


[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]


After the first line of text flashed by, Chen Yu promptly focused his attention on the first product.


[1. Sweet Voice Candy: Produced by the Green Arrow Food Company in the year 2035. One box contains 400 pieces. The candy is mainly made from liquified helium. When consumed, this candy will effectively reduce the oral cavity’s resonance frequency and enhance the mid- and high- frequency sound waves, allowing even men to speak in a sweet and pleasant tone. The selling price is 4 points.]


Chen Yu: “…”


[2. Specific Bait-shaped Insecticide: Produced by the Bayer Company in the year 2079. This insecticide is capable of changing the ion concentration found on the giant axons of cockroaches. It functions by keeping the giant axons’ voltage-gated ion channels open and allowing the continuous flow of sodium ions through them. This, in turn, paralyzes the affected cockroaches’ nervous system and eventually excites them to them.


Also, when the affected cockroaches die, they will secrete aggregation pheromones, attracting their kin to consume their corpses. In turn, this facilitates the transfer of the insecticide’s active ingredients to a new batch of cockroaches, which will then be killed shortly after. This cycle can be repeated up to a maximum of 20 to 32 times. With the help of this insecticide, it is possible to effectively kill all cockroaches within a 100-kilometer radius. The selling price is 22 points.]


Chen Yu: “…”


[3. Portable Mint Manufacturing Line: Produced by the “Die from Addiction” Company in the year 2047. The machine has a built-in cotton and linen fiber converter, a built-in watermark and security thread synthesizer, 100 liters of SICPA’s Optically Variable Magnetic Ink, and three sets of grooves for engraving liquid steel plates.


The machine only requires cotton, hemp, standard wood, and purified water to produce currency at nine sheets per second. The produced currencies will be a perfect simulation of real currency that is capable of passing a total of 11 identification techniques – the four categories of image analysis: ultraviolet, white light, infrared, and multi-spectrum; the four categories of feature analysis: ultraviolet, infrared, fluorescence, and safety line; magnetic image analysis, magnetic feature analysis, and serial number recognition. The selling price is 15 points.]


Chen Yu: “!!!”


[4. Mosquito Strengthening Solution: Produced by the “Die from Addiction” Company in the year 2133. This solution can alter the genome of mosquitoes, greatly enhancing their ability to resist cold and improve female mosquitoes’ recognition of human body moisture, lactic acid, carbon dioxide, body heat, and body odor. In addition, the solution also strengthens the piercing and suction ability of the affected mosquito’s mouth, solving the problem of mosquitoes being incapable of piercing through the skin of humans in the 22nd century. This solution will prevent the extinction of an essential medical insect group. The selling price is 35 points.]


Chen Yu: “???”


[5. Alienware Customized X9-8990K Notebook: Produced by the Alienware Company in the year 2088. Comes with an Intel X9-8990K processor, two Nvidia RTX-8090Ti graphics cards, one Trailblazer ROGX6899 Motherboard, and one micro-molecule 128PB hard drive. The notebook also has a built-in lithium-ion and graphene battery combination with a 45-hour battery life under extreme performance. The selling price is 7 points.]


“…”


Seeing that the laptop was the only “normal” product out of the five products listed, Chen Yu had reason to suspect that he was being monitored. Otherwise, with how vast the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s product stock was, how could the company just so happen to recommend him the laptop he needed?


Moreover, seven points?! Wasn’t this laptop a little too expensive?!


They’re definitely trying to fleece me. I can’t let Little Peach know about this.


After having such thoughts, Chen Yu decisively exited the Transdimensional Store’s interface. He intended to only revisit the page after midnight to see if there were any other products worth purchasing.


However, after he turned off his watch, Little Peach’s reflection appeared on the pitch-black screen…


Chen Yu blinked.


Little Peach also blinked.


Chen Yu: “…”


Little Peach: “Yay! This is wonderful! A high-performance laptop!”


Chen Yu: “…”


Little Peach: “Buy it quickly!”


“Why are you sticking to me instead of writing codes?!”


“You can’t write code while testing software. If you buy that laptop for me, I can work non-stop! I can earn even more money for you!” Little Peach said as she waved her fists excitedly.


Covering his face, Chen Yu said, “Actually… I don’t want you to overwork yourself.”


“Mr. Chen, you really are kind to me. Favorability plus 18.”


“…Hah.” Breathing out a deep sigh, Chen Yu revisited the Transdimensional Store and purchased the fifth product—the Alienware Notebook produced in 2088.


[9 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 46]


In the next moment, space inside the room twisted as a wormhole formed. A white box then fell out of the wormhole.


Before the box even landed on the ground, Little Peach swooped in and caught it with her arms. As if her face had bugged out, Little Peach revealed a big smile as she said, “Hahaha! This is great! Hahaha! Mr. Chen, open the box quickly!”


“You open it. This laptop is your gift.”


Upon hearing this, Little Peach’s eyes lit up in joy, and she imitated Chen Yu’s habit of licking his lips when excited. Squatting down, she settled the box on the floor and carefully removed its seal. She then flipped open the lid and removed the laptop inside, exclaiming, “How beautiful!”


Sending Little Peach a glance, Chen Yu could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the laptop Little Peach held. Jumping out of bed and sidling up to Little Peach, he carefully observed the cyan laptop’s streamlined body.


Despite the laptop’s thickness being double that of modern gaming laptops, it did not look bulky. Stripe vents were located on both sides of the laptop’s streamlined, half-arc body. Breathing lights were also located inside the vents, the lights giving the laptop a technological feeling.


As Little Peach pulled up the laptop’s display, what entered Chen Yu’s eyes was an exquisitely curved screen. There were also three rectangular buttons located on the screen’s left, upper-middle, and right borders.


Reaching out, Little Peach tried pressing down on the left button.


Click!


Accompanied by the crisp sound of sliding gears, a piece of transparent glass suddenly slid out of the monitor’s edge. On the glass panel’s upper-left corner, a line of text displayed in black appeared—Please start your computer.


Pushing Little Peach away with his butt, Chen Yu quickly reached out and pressed on the upper-middle and right buttons as well.


Click!


Click!


Two similarly-sized glass panels appeared, the additional glass panels forming a three sub-monitors and one main monitor setup.


“Amazing.”


The keyboard under the curved screen also made use of a setup Chen Yu was familiar with. Every keycap also shined with a ceramic light and was full of texture.


Just as Chen Yu was about to press down on the power button, Little Peach also pushed him aside with her butt and stole the chance to push the power button.


Chen Yu: “…”


Immediately, the pitch-black screen lit up with a gentle glow. A string of English alphabets also appeared in the middle of the screen.


[Windows IOT15]


“Microsoft is actually still alive in 2088. Not bad.”


After the familiar yet unfamiliar graphical interface appeared, the left, top, and right screens also started displaying plenty of information.


The ceramic keyboard also lit up with a breathing pattern.


Many virtual buttons and scroll bars also appeared 10 centimeters above the keyboard to Chen Yu’s surprise. The holographic Alienware logo found on the keyboard’s upper-left corner even hovered and spun around like a magnet.


“This design…” Folding his arms around his chest, Chen Yu said, “It’s a little bit showy. It’s definitely perfect for playing games.”


“It’s used to make money!” Little Peach hurriedly emphasized.


“…Fine, fine, fine. Take it. I said it’s a gift, so it’s yours.”


“Thank you, Mr. Chen! Favorability-”


“If you dare raise it, give me back the laptop.”


“…minus 15…”


“OK, take it away.”


Unsure whether she should be happy or frustrated at this situation, Little Peach carried the laptop away and settled it on the study table. She then fell into a daze as she stared at the computer.



After removing his haori, Chen Yu walked out of the room to find something to eat. While walking into the kitchen, the corner of his eyes caught sight of his three little sisters grouping up before the living room’s sofa doing something.


“What are you guys doing?”


Chen Yike: “…Ah?!”


Chen Erke: “…Ah?!”


Chen Sanke: “…”


Surprised, the three girls hurriedly turned around to look at Chen Yu, panic in their eyes.


“Hm?” Frowning, Chen Yu realized that something was amiss. “Did you guys do something wrong behind my back?”


Chen Yike: “Definitely not!”


Chen Erke: “Definitely not!”


Chen Sanke: “…Ah?!”


Chen Yu grew even more suspicious at their reactions. Walking into the living room, he asked, “If not, why are you behaving so sneakily?”


Chen Yike: “You’re overthinking things.”


Chen Erke: “You’re overthinking things.”


Chen Sanke: “Definitely not!”


“What’s behind you?”


Chen Yike: “Brother, weren’t you supposed to be out?”


Chen Erke: “Brother, weren’t you supposed to be out?”


Chen Sanke: “You’re overthinking things.”


Chen Yu: “…”


After standing in place and pondering, Chen Yu suddenly made a huge leap into the air and landed on the sofa. Immediately, caught sight of what his three little sisters were hiding behind them…


It was a dog!


It was a dog that looked like a wolf but wasn’t a wolf!


Currently, the dog was staring straight at Chen Yu with gray eyes filled with wisdom.
