Chapter 361 – Daily Life (1)
Time flew by quickly.
Half a month had already gone by since the day Chen Yu had held four consecutive livestreams.
As he had hoped, he had accumulated nearly 120,000 points on that day and successfully exchanged for the Dyson Sphere, Shellworld, and Two-dimensional Restraint Pen.
Of the three, he had used the Shellworld and Two-dimensional Restraint Pen as content for two of his additional livestreams, and both products garnered a lot of interest from his audience. The only thing he didn’t show was the Dyson Sphere.
This was because aside from being the final product Chen Yu had exchanged from the Transdimensional Store, the Dyson Sphere didn’t have a purpose in the solar system. After all, Chen Yu couldn’t possibly be so crazy to use it on the sun. Otherwise, a 40% decrease in the sun’s luminosity would cause severe and irreversible damage to all of mankind and Earth’s ecology.
Meanwhile, currently, all three products were stored inside the Super Floating Castle’s Headmaster’s Tower. They could also be considered the modern human civilization’s “foundation”…
Ring! Ring!
The bell outside the examination room rang, waking Chen Yu from his slumber. After pulling out his phone and taking a look at the time, Chen Yu packed his backpack and handed in his test paper to the invigilator beside him.
“So, you’re Chen Yu?” The invigilator looked Chen Yu up and down after receiving his paper.
“That’s right. What’s up?”
“Although Sixth High is a relatively terrible school, this is the first time I’ve seen a student skip classes for two months and anger their form teacher to the point of tears.”
“Creating history is something I should do.” Chen Yu smiled and nodded.
“But I wasn’t complimenting you?!”
After leaving the exam venue, Chen Yu walked out of the teaching block and stood by the entrance. After waiting there for some time, Xing Biqi, who was wearing a mask, came.
“Chen Yu!”
The girl immediately grew delighted upon seeing Chen Yu. Hurriedly running forward, she said, “I thought you would’ve turned in your paper and returned home ahead of time.”
“How dare I do that?” Shrugging, Chen Yu said, “I received an invite from a wealthy lady. How can I possibly reject it?”
“I already told you to stop calling me a wealthy lady.”
“Auntie.”
Xing Biqi: “…”
“Well, out with it, Auntie Xing. Where are you going to treat me to lunch today?”
“We’ll go to the New District.” Xing Biqi pulled out her phone and pointed at the map displayed on the screen. “I heard that construction is almost done, and many restaurants have already started doing business there.”
“The New District, huh…” Chen Yu muttered thoughtfully.
The New District was located north of Jinzhou City. It was a business district that suddenly started being developed roughly a year ago, and countless international brands, companies, trademarks, and factories had, for some reason, decided to invest in the city.
Bigshots like Google and Apple had even invested astronomical sums of money in building towering office buildings there. Due to this reason, housing prices in Jinzhou City had more than doubled recently.
Initially, citizens at home and aboard were baffled by this situation. However, by now, the New District had become a secret that was not a secret.
As for why so many companies had decided to invest in Jinzhou City, the reason was simple—Transdimensional’s UP resided in this city…
Jinzhou City’s government most likely never imagined that Chen Yu’s slip up during the first video he uploaded would actually lead to the creation of China’s fifth “federal” city.
“It’s only been a few months, yet the New District is completed already?”
“It seems that only Disneyland has begun construction.” Grabbing Chen Yu’s hand, Xing Biqi pulled him out of the school gate and said, “Let’s take a taxi.”
“Where’s your private car?”
“Since when did I have a car?”
“A multi-millionaire doesn’t even have a car? Tsk, tsk. You don’t know how to enjoy your money at all. I’ll help you spend it if you’re no good.”
“The money is in my grandpa’s hands.” Blinking her eyes, Xing Biqi blushed under her mask, saying, “He says it’s going to be my dowry in the future~”
Hearing this, Chen Yu licked his lips and said, “You really know how to play, huh?”
…
Twenty minutes later, the taxi the two teenagers rode on arrived in Jinzhou City’s New District.
The district was covered in tall buildings, spacious streets, green plants, and droves of people. It looked nothing like a district that was established just half a year ago.
“It’s so clean!” Getting out of the car, Xing Biqi removed her mask and took a deep breath. “It’s much cleaner than the city.”
“It’s a new district, after all.” After paying the taxi fare, Chen Yu said, “Cities are like wives. The older they get, the less they take care of themselves. Eventually, they’ll become tattered rags.”
“…Can you not use such a strange metaphor?!”
“Put on your mask. Don’t you know you’re a celebrity now? It’ll be troublesome if you get caught by reporters,” Chen Yu said as he stepped forward and helped Xing Biqi put her mask back on. He then pointed at the two sides of the street and asked, “Which restaurant?”
“Let’s go to that shop.” The girl stretched out her dainty finger and pointed at a three-story restaurant. “The internet says that the chef there used to work as the head chef of a restaurant in France.”
“Michelin 3-star? Isn’t Michelin in the business of selling tires?”
“M-Maybe it’s a side gig.” Xing Biqi said, not quite understanding the reason, either.
“Let’s give it a try, then. I doubt the guy would dare work abroad without having some skills. By the way, you’re treating, right?”
“Mhm, mhm. It’s my treat, so you can order whatever you want.”
As the young couple walked through the restaurant’s revolving door and stepped into the spacious, white hall, a waitress promptly stepped forward to greet them. “Welcome to Michelin 3-star.”
“Her attitude is quite good.” Leaning into Xing Biqi’s ear, Chen Yu said, “This restaurant is much better than the ones in our district. I once brought my sisters to a restaurant called the Famous Imperial Kitchen. Just because I didn’t pay the first time, the manager there gave me a bad look the next time I visited there.”
“…” Xing Biqi couldn’t help but facepalm.
The smile of the waitress also stiffened at Chen Yu’s words.
“Big Sis, please don’t listen to his nonsense. Can we have a table for two? Also, do you have a private room?”
“W-We do. Did you make a reservation, Miss?”
“No.”
“Will a cubicle be alright? It’s by the second-floor window. It has a good view of the outside.”
“Okay.”
Under the waitress’s guidance, the two arrived on the second floor and sat in a fairly spacious and luxurious compartment.
After accepting the menu the waitress handed to her, Xing Biqi smiled and glanced at Chen Yu before pointing at a full course meal, “Big Sis, we want this one.”
“Okay. Please wait for a moment.”
After waiting for the waitress to leave, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, “You ordered the same thing for both of us?”
“It’s a full-course meal. There are plenty of dishes in it.”
“What kind of full-course meal did you order?”
“I’m not telling you.” Removing her mask, Xing Biqi turned to look out the window and said, “The scenery here is really good. Do you see the lake over there? Our classmates say that there are deers around it.”
“I see them. There are about two dozen deers there.”
“…Nonsense.”
“Honest. I can even see their fur clearly.”
“Fine, fine, fine. You’re a clairvoyant,” Xing Biqi said in a childish tone. She then leaned against her seat and muttered, “But the UP really is amazing. Just the possibility of him living here has brought such massive changes to the city.”
“Transdimensional’s UP?” Chen Yu calmly took a sip of water.
“That’s right. I never thought he would be living in Jinzhou City. It’s such a coincidence.” Putting on a mysterious smile, the girl said, “Moreover, his surname is also Chen.”
“Maybe the internet is just spouting random nonsense. How can such a handsome, awesome, and dazzling individual possibly live in a shabby place like Jinzhou City?”
“The internet might spread rumors, but the big companies here won’t possibly move just based on rumors.”
“…Well, I guess that makes sense.” Ignoring Xing Biqi’s gaze, Chen Yu stood up and received the dishes the waitress brought over. He then changed the topic and said, “The full-course meal you ordered only has two dishes?”
“Sir, this is only the first meal,” the waitress answered with a formal smile. She then lifted the glass lid to reveal a brown bread on the plate and a small bowl of green paste.
“Um…” Frowning, Chen Yu pointed at the green paste in the bowl and asked, “Is that poop?”
Xing Biqi: “…”
The waitress: “…”
