Chapter 158 – Shock! Frightening Fifth Livestream (2)
“What the heck is this thing?!”
As the dark silhouette gradually squeezed through the wormhole, the first thing that entered Chen Yu’s sight was a row of metallic fangs. What followed afterward was a ferocious head, a robust body, and a pair of feet with sharp nails…
Boom!
When the titanic object landed, cracks instantly spread throughout the ground beneath it. The resulting shockwave even caused Chen Yu to momentarily lose his balance. And within the next few minutes, everyone residing in Kyojima District, and even the distant Tokyo, was able to sense this intense shockwave.
Fortunately, the initial distance between the ground and the object’s feet wasn’t particularly large. Otherwise, with the object’s terrifying weight, its impact would definitely shake half of Japan.
“Cough… Cough, cough…”
Covering his mask with his hands, Chen Yu patiently waited for the surrounding dust clouds to dissipate before turning around to take a look. When his eyes fell on the giant object, his mouth immediately fell wide open.
“A di-dinosaur?!
“A mechanical dinosaur?!”
Chen Yu’s face subconsciously twitched as he looked up at the 100-meter-tall T-rex. The scales, steel columns, pointed cones, horizontal bars, tooth saws, hydraulic pumps… Every part of the machine gave off a violent and industrial beauty. And under the sun, the T-rex’s body reflected a gloomy luster.
After exchanging a look with Little Peach, Chen Yu tentatively stepped forward and touched one of the T-rex’s nails, the cold and smooth sensation he felt causing him to involuntarily shudder.
“It’s not alive,” Chen Yu affirmed.
“It looks like a heavy-duty machine,” Little Peach commented as she similarly reached out to feel the T-rex’s nails. “It’s big and hard.”
Looking up, Chen Yu wanted to try touching the T-rex’s ankle but found that his hand couldn’t even reach beyond its nails…
“Isn’t it too damned big?! It’s going to destroy everything it steps on!”
“We didn’t bring any flying devices. How do we get up?” Little Peach wondered.
“There should be stairs somewhere.” After giving the matter some thought, Chen Yu circled to the T-rex’s back. And sure enough, he discovered a flight of stairs along the T-rex’s tail that led all the way to its chest. “Sure enough, this thing really isn’t alive.”
“Let’s go up, then! It looks really fun!” Little Peach said as she eagerly jumped onto the tail.
“Get back here!” Chen Yu grabbed Little Peach’s cheongsam, and unceremoniously pulled her back. “We’ll start the livestream first.”
“Oh.”
The two of them then returned to the mechanical T-rex’s front and faced the camera.
“Stay sharp during the livestream.”
“Understood! I definitely won’t make any mistakes.”
Satisfied with Little Peach’s answer, Chen Yu straightened his mask and took a deep breath.
“Start the livestream!”

In the blink of an eye, the total viewer count had exceeded one million!
[My King! I’m here!]
[Awooo! It’s livestream time!]
[Good morning, daddy.]
[Good morning, Grandpa.]
[Good morning, ancestor…]
[First!]
[Ah, I’m so excited!]
[You have no conscience! I’ve waited for you for half a month!]
[I’ve been waiting in bed for the past half a month just to see the female assistant.]
[UP, you’re terrific!]
After taking a look at the densely packed bullet comments flowing across his watch’s screen. Chen Yu looked toward the camera and began to speak.
“Good morning, friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. Another month has gone by, and it is now time for Transdimensional Review’s Fifth! Official! Livestream!
“Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for your willingness to wait before your screens. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to do an unboxing session for today’s product. Why? Because similar to the island-building ship, its size is simply massive. I won’t beat around the bush, so widen your eyes and feel the power of future machinery!”
After Chen Yu said so, the camera immediately started rising into the air.
Ten meters.
Fifty meters.
One hundred meters!
As the camera flew higher and higher, the mechanical T-rex’s full appearance quickly appeared on the screens of nearly two million viewers.
The T-rex’s 100-meter-tall figure created a sharp contrast with the surrounding trees. Its metallic luster also stimulated the minds of many viewers.
Before the T-rex, Chen Yu and Little Peach looked no different than insignificant ants.
[My! God!]
[What is that thing?]
[It’s definitely a war machine, right?!]
[It looks so much like a Tyrannosaurus rex, but it’s much larger than one.]
[It’s meant for demolition.]
[This is maddening…]
[Sure enough, UP is going to start destroying Earth.]
[I just want to know where UP is at right now. Is the local government about to break into tears?]
[Isn’t it normal to destroy a planet for a review video?]
[Will there be an interactive session for this livestream?]
…
At the same time, the special situation team’s conference room in Beijing became deathly silent.
Seated at the head of the conference table, the middle-aged team leader hurriedly picked up his communication device with trembling hands. After pushing down on a button, he hoarsely said, “Q-Quickly identify the target’s livestream venue and evacuate all citizens within a hundred kilometers. Hurry…”
After the team leader disconnected the call, the room fell into silence once more.
Everyone present understood very clearly what kind of consequences would occur if a machine of such mass were allowed to roam on land. Even a simple stroll would be akin to having a high-rise building impact the ground one time after another!
It might be okay if this machine conducted its walk outside of city limits, but if it entered a city…
Not to mention, looking at the dented ground around the metallic dinosaur, it was evident that the machine was much heavier than concrete buildings.
After considering the possibility that the dinosaur might have some form of special attack, it was no exaggeration to call it a disaster…
While past experiences had shown that Chen Yu would always avoid negatively affecting other people during his livestreams, it was still mandatory for them to make the necessary precautions!
“Cancel the current tasks of staff teams two, five, and six. Have them configure an evacuation plan and submit it directly to the military headquarters!”
After doing his best to calm himself, the middle-aged team leader started issuing orders one after another.
“Understood!” Big Sis Wu’s fingers quickly swiped across her customized tablet. After drafting up a new plan, she handed the tablet to the middle-aged team leader and said, “Leader, your authorization.”
In response, the team leader pulled out a key-shaped chip and inserted it into the black socket on the desk. He then conducted an iris scan using the tablet.
“Mobilize 60% of the technology department’s resources to construct a model of the machine, and have staff teams three and four analyze the minimal damage and economic loss we will suffer. Have them send their reports to the higher-ups and me.”
“Understood. Your authorization, leader.”
“Have staff team seven coordinate with the cyber police department to seal off the network and prevent the spread of panic.”
“Understood.”
After giving out a series of precise and effective commands, the middle-aged team leader wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He then took out a medicine box, swallowed four β-receptor blocking drugs, and shut his eyes to rest.
He had already done everything he could within his authority.
No matter where Chen Yu’s livestream venue was located, they must act with haste! He would rather be wrong than hesitate!
The urgency of this matter was no less than a military operation…
As for the overall operation and larger-scale collaborative works, that would have to depend on their superiors…
However, half a minute later, the middle-aged team leader abruptly stood up and said, “No! I need to be there myself! Get me a helicopter! I must stop his review this time!”
“Why not leave it to the troo-”
“I know much more than they do. I must go,” the middle-aged team leader said, interrupting Big Sis Wu’s words. “Get me a helicopter. Hurry.”
“Understood.” Big Sis Wu could only nod in response to the middle-aged team leader’s command. Immediately, she started operating her tablet with haste.
However, three seconds later, Big Sis Wu suddenly cried out in pleasant surprise. “Ah!”
“What?” The team leader’s heart nearly stopped for a moment. However, he quickly reacted to the situation and asked, “Is the target not within the country?!”
“L-Leader! The target’s livestream venue…isn’t within the country!”
“Where?”
“Japan!”
“Japan…”
“Yes! Japan!”
Bang!
Suddenly, the middle-aged team leader excitedly slammed his fist into the table. “Wonderful!”
Immediately, the crowd within the room breathed out a sigh of relief. Some people even secretly exchanged high-fives with each other.
“Japan… Japan…”
Sitting back into his seat, the middle-aged team leader tapped his finger on the table while pondering. A moment later, he commanded, “Cancel all commands I issued before. Also, contact Japan’s government; tell them not to panic and that there’s no need to stop Transdimensional Review’s livestream. He has never harmed civilians before. His livestreams have always been very safe. We can guarantee this point.”
Big Sis Wu: “…”
The middle-aged team leader continued, “Tell them that they need to have the spirit of sacrifice to science and technology. Every time Transdimensional Review hosts an official livestream, the global academic community would pay close attention to it. We mustn’t do anything to affect it. Also, relay these words to America’s special situation department as well. They’ll definitely support us.”
Big Sis Wu: “…Yes…”
