“Leader, the location analysis report is out. The target is currently in Thailand’s Si Racha.”
Inside the conference room of a standalone villa located in Jinzhou City’s outskirts, Xiao Li pushed open the door to the room and reported this news.
“Si Racha…” When the middle-aged team leader heard Xiao Li’s words, he searched for the mentioned location using the tablet sitting on the meeting table. Frowning, he asked, “Do we have any colleagues there?”
“None, but we have some in Bangkok.”
“It’s too far. They won’t make it. It seems we’ll have to give up on this one,” the team leader said as he turned off the tablet and raised his head to look Chen Yu’s masked figure, which was currently being displayed on the hanging screen before him. Solemnly, he continued, “Judging from the target’s speech, it seems he is about to make contact with us for the first time. This special box might very well be given to us. Have everyone be on stand-by and be ready to act at all times.”
“Understood!” Xiao Li replied before leaving the room.
Immediately afterward, another youth came running into the conference room and reported, “Leader, Target A, Chen Yu, has attended Sixth High’s monthly examination like usual.”
“What?!”
Crash!
The majority of the people gathered inside the conference room stood up in shock, their eyes staring at the youth in disbelief.
“Th-There’s no mistaking it. Chen Yu is currently taking his exam…”
While closely watched by the many bigshots present, the youth timidly extended a tablet and said, “Lea-Leader, take a look.”
Upon receiving the tablet, the middle-aged team leader immediately saw that, in the ongoing video communication, Chen Yu was currently earnestly answering a test paper while wrapped in a scarf and wearing gloves.
“This… How is this possible?” The team leader was so shocked that even his thumb started trembling slightly.
From the information they had gathered and analyzed for the past month, they were almost certain that Target A, also known as Chen Yu, was Transdimensional Review’s uploader.
However, they never expected such an unexpected abnormality to actually appear at this moment.
“Let me see.”
“Let me have a look as well.”
“I’ll look at it as well…”
The various leaders seated in the conference room promptly crowded around the middle-aged team leader and observed the image displayed on the tablet…
“…”
After recovering from his initial shock, the middle-aged team leader’s complexion started darkening. Pushing away the crowd that had formed around him, he shouted, “Are you done watching? Return to your seats!”
“Leader…” At this time, the woman referred to as Big Sis Wu doubtfully asked, “Could our previous thoughts be a misunderstanding?”
“Impossible! There is definitely a problem here!” Lowering his head, the team leader stared closely at Chen Yu’s figure through the tablet. Squinting his eyes, he continued, “After we focused our investigation on Chen Yu for the past month, we discovered many suspicious points that violated common sense. Let’s take the three most crucial points, for example.
“One. How did Chen Yu edit hundreds of videos in one day to make a profit? Without a team of at least 50 people, it is simply impossible to complete such a workload within such a short timeframe. Moreover, through comparison, we noticed that the editing style of these videos is similar to the editing style of Transdimensional Review’s videos.
“Two. Through drone investigations, we already know that during our last surprise home visit, the room Xiao Li entered belonged to the one surnamed Su, who lives upstairs of Chen Yu’s family. This spatial distortion ability is exactly the same as the one displayed by Transdimensional Review’s Interstellar Portal!
“Three. When we conducted our search through the city’s surveillance system, we discovered that Chen Yu had rented a warehouse on the outskirts of the old city. To avoid alerting the target, we entered the adjacent warehouse and found that the interior is exactly the same as the background shown during Transdimensional Review’s past videos. The time point matches as well.
“Through these three points alone, we can already confirm that Transdimensional Review’s uploader is Chen Yu.”
His eyes sharpening, the middle-aged man decisively concluded, “The facts are beyond doubt!”
“But how can we explain this Chen Yu that is currently taking his exam?” Big Sis Wu asked.
Standing up, the middle-aged team leader shut his eyes and fell into thought. After a moment, he opened his mouth and declared, “We have iron proof in our hands. No matter how bizarre of a situation pops up now, it still doesn’t change the truth.”
Pausing briefly, the team leader opened his eyes and continued, “Hence, the Chen Yu taking the test now is fake!”
As soon as the middle-aged team leader made this declaration, the people in the conference room immediately broke into a heated discussion.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The team leader knocked on the table and swept his gaze across everyone present.
Immediately, all discussions in the room halted.
“Since Transdimensional Review’s livestream started this time, I’ve been thinking about a problem: Where is the female assistant?”
Walking out of his seat, the team leader slowly circled around the meeting table as he said, “Moreover, I don’t know how many of you noticed a small detail, but during the previous livestream, whether it be in the beach, the Sahara Desert, or the summit of Mount Everest, no matter how big the change in temperature and atmospheric pressure was, the female assistant wearing the cheongsam remained completely unaffected. Even if she’s Superwoman, she should have some reaction, right?”
“Hence?” When Big Sis Wu thought over the team leader’s words, she could not help but be terrified.
“Hence…” Stopping his feet, the middle-aged team leader clenched his feet as he said, “Referring to the past technological products that have appeared on Transdimensional Review’s channel, it is very likely that she is…
“A robot…”
…
Haha! My concealment really is excellent! Nobody will ever guess that I’m a robot! Little Peach thought to herself as she sat inside one of Sixth High’s exam venues. Dangling her legs in delight, Mr. Chen should’ve started his livestream already, right? I wanted to host it with him…
“It’s time. The exam is now starting. Whispering is not allowed. If you cheat, your score for the subject will be invalidated.”
At the invigilator’s announcement, the examinees promptly started answering their test papers. Among them, Little Peach was undoubtedly the fastest in reacting to the invigilator’s words.
Mr. Chen said I need to write my name immediately before answering questions…
Picking up her ballpoint pen, she recalled Chen Yu’s instructions, and in the name column, she wrote—Little Peach.
Afterward, she turned her attention toward the first multiple-choice question for the physics test.
[Travelling from Nanjing to Shanghai, you can either take the train or the ship as shown in the right image. The curve ACB and dashed line ADB respectively represent the railway line and sea route from Nanjing to Shanghai. In that case, the correct state is…”]
Completely ignoring the four ABCD options provided, Little Peach imitated Chen Yu’s handwriting and wrote the following in the blank of the question: “Why not take the plane?”
…
Thailand, Si Racha:
As Chen Yu slid his finger across the card the second time, the card finally revealed the product’s name.
Weather Control Module!
“OK, as the name suggests, this product is used to control the weather.”
His eyes glowing in excitement, Chen Yu quickly slid his finger across the card once more.
“The Weather Control Module was mass-produced by the Pilotage Technology Group in the year 2506. I’m sure everyone can see the instruction manual’s introduction. This product can be used for localized weather control. There are two main weather categories available for selection: general weather changes and extreme weather changes.
“In the general weather category, the types of weather available are: sunny, cloudy, light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, storm, thunderstorm, light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, blizzard, frost, fog, heavy fog, and two dozen other weather types.
“As for the extreme weather category, it includes: hurricane, typhoon, tornado, extreme thunderstorm, extreme snowstorm, extreme hailstorm, sandstorm, extreme cold currents, extreme heat currents, comet impacts…What?! A comet impact is considered a type of weather as well?!”
[UP, are you sure this is a weather control console and not a weather weapon?]
[Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!]
[The products are getting increasingly exaggerated! Are we really going to restart human civilization?]
[Theoretically speaking, if you find a specific location to fan a storm, the whole world will suffer.]
[Strongly recommend you try comet impact!]
[Agree!]
[Agree+1!]
[UP, please start your performance.]
“We’ve mostly seen the operational procedures already, and I can say that this product is certainly versatile. Aside from the simplified one-button operation, it is also possible to adjust the temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind direction, wind strength, and other parameters accurately. I find it truly hard to imagine that humans would gain the ability to freely manipulate the weather in less than five centuries. In ancient times, having this kind of ability would make you a living god.”
After saying so, Chen Yu put down the instruction manual and looked at the Weather Control Module beside him, licking his lips in anticipation.
“Hehe, next up, it’s time to play… Ah, no, I meant starting the review of this product.”
Immediately, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pushed down on the power button!
Pzz— Pzz—
The sound of electric currents running appeared and the groove found at the center of the Weather Control Module suddenly released a blinding light!
