“Hello. You are Miss Xing Biqi, right?”

“Yes, I am. You are...”

“I am Jack Ma.”

The familiar voice of a man came from the phone.

“M-Mr. Ma?” Xing Biqi’s eyes widened, and her nerves tensed up immediately.

“Yes, it’s me. I’m sorry, but I looked up your contact information through your registered information on Weibo. The reason why I’m calling you so late at night is because I have something to talk to you about. May I know if you have time to spare right now, Miss Xing?”

Sitting up on her bed, the girl held her phone and remained silent for a moment. She then nodded and said, “You wish to buy the souvenir I received, right?”

“Yes,” Jack Ma answered calmly. “You are very smart. In that case, I’ll be straightforward. May I know how much it would cost for you to willingly part with the souvenir Transdimensional’s UP gave you?”

“Did you contact all of the livestream participants this time?”

“You are the second one, Miss Xing.”

“I’m sorry.” Although neither side could see each other through the phone line, Xing Biqi still smiled and bowed as she apologized. “The souvenir Mr. UP gave me means a lot to me. I do not wish to sell it, so I hope you can forgive me.”

“In exchange for a rock with only memorial value, you can gain a large amount of wealth that can change your quality of life. I’m sure that with your intelligence, you should know which is the more rational choice, Miss Xing.”

“Thank you.” In a very firm tone, Xing Biqi said, “I really don’t wish to sell it. Mr. Ma, please ask the others instead.”

“No need to rush in making a decision. We can meet and talk about the details.”

“That won’t be necessary for the time being. It has been an honor talking to you. Goodbye, Mr. Ma.”

After saying so, the girl disconnected the call and turned on the airplane mode decisively.

Putting down the phone, Xing Biqi laid back on her bed and played around with the rock in her hand. She then stored it under her pillow, turned off the lights, and shut her eyes.

However, even after tossing and turning around the bed for half an hour, she still couldn’t fall asleep.

For an ordinary person like herself, everything that had happened today simply felt like a dream.

“If...

“It would’ve been great if Chen Yu had been there too...”

...

The next day, Lanhe District, Chen family’s abode:

Buzz...

Chen Yu woke up at the sudden buzzing of his phone.

After sitting up and looking around in a daze, he grabbed his phone, connected the call, and placed his phone by his ear. “Hello? Who is it?”

“Chen Yu, you finally picked up! Where did you go yesterday?”

“Oh, Xing Biqi?” Sitting up, Chen Yu rubbed his eyes and answered, “I went out for some fun yesterday and left my phone at home. What’s the matter? You have some business with me?”

“I-I was just a little worried.”

“Your place seems quite noisy.”

“Ah... A little bit.”

“...”

“...”

The two teenagers remained silent on the phone for half a minute.

Unable to stand the silence any longer, Xing Biqi asked, “Do you know where I went yesterday?”

“No. What happened?”

“Did you not watch Transdimensional Review’s livestream yesterday?”

“Nope.”

“Watch the edited video first, then you’ll know. But don’t feel regret afterward.”

“What’s there to regret?”

“You’ll know once you watch it. I’ll hang up first. I’m slightly busy here. I’ll give you a call afterward...”

Disconnecting the call, Chen Yu stretched his waist lazily and looked at the time displayed on his phone. “It’s already ten o’clock?”

“Mhm, it’s ten o’clock. Good morning, Mr. Chen.” Jumping off her chair, Little Peach pouted, “Did that human female call you?”

“Mhm.” Changing the subject, Chen Yu asked, “Has the edited clip been released?”

“They’re available to the public now. The view count is rising very quickly as well.”

Getting out of bed, Chen Yu yawned and changed into a fresh set of clothing. While changing, he asked, “How quickly?”

“After the video got released, it garnered over 34 million views on Bilibili’s platform alone. That’s already three times more than before.”

“...” Chen Yu froze slightly. Turning to look at Little Peach, he asked, “An hour? Thirty-four million views?”

“Mhm.” Little Peach nodded. “If we include DouYu, TikTok, Kuaishou, Youtube, and other platforms, the total view count is already close to reaching 900 million.”

“There are bound to be many repeat viewers among them.”

“Yes, but even after excluding repeat viewers, the number of netizens that have watched the video worldwide within the past hour is no less than 300 million. Moreover, once the evening peak arrives, there will be another surge of viewers.”

After Chen Yu was done changing, he made his way to the bathroom to wash up. He then returned to his room and browsed the news through his phone.

Unlike last night, a portion of the mainstream media had also stopped remaining silent. Meanwhile, every one of these mainstream media outlets had their headlines focused on a single topic–Transdimensional Review.

[The world has changed after I woke up.]

[Why am I always the last one to find out about these changes?]

[This is amazing! I stayed up all night to watch all the previous edited videos!]

[Can the various nations’ governments give an explanation on this?]

[I’m a native of Shanghai, yet I never knew that there was a maglev subway right outside my doorstep...]

[I want to watch the livestream! I want to watch the livestream!]

[Everyone, calm down. Listen to me. All of this is a dream.]

[One of the interactive event participants sold their souvenir for 37 million last night...]

As Chen Yu read through the forum posts and comments about himself, he couldn’t help but have complicated feelings.

While he felt satisfaction from gaining widespread fame, recognition, and influence over human society, he also couldn’t help but worry about the difficulty of his future promotions...

I really have to take things one step at a time.

Exiting the web browser, he entered his WeChat application. After pondering for a moment, he quickly typed a series of messages to Xing Biqi.

[Chen Yu: “Crap! Crap!”]

[Chen Yu: “You were actually chosen?! What kind of luck is that?!”]

[Chen Yu: “Awesome! You’re treating me to a meal today! This is too awesome!”]

[Xing Biqi: “Sure. Hehe, I’ll treat you tonight. (Blush)”]

[Chen Yu: “You were trying to look for me yesterday, right? Goddamn, I missed the opportunity of a lifetime.”]

[Xing Biqi: “Who told you not to bring your phone? It’s too late for regrets now.”]

[Chen Yu: “I want to die. I feel so terrible.”]

[Xing Biqi: “What nonsense are you saying?! I took a lot of photos and videos. We can look at them together after I’m done with school.”]

[Chen Yu: “Let’s watch them together!”]

[Xing Biqi: “I also have a present for you! I still have to pay attention to class. I’ll talk to you later. ?~”]

“Is it that souvenir?”

Putting down his phone, Chen Yu scratched the back of his ear and muttered, “Why would I need that junk? She might as well sell it...”

“Mr. Chen.” Her eyes lighting up with a red glow, Little Peach asked, “Are you going to mate with that female tonight?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?!”

“I think she might cause you to expose yourself.”

“What?”

Tear!

Instantly tearing apart her clothing, Little Peach said, “Trust me, I’m specialized in the field.”

“...Where’s my lightsaber?”

“You left it on Proxima Centauri b.”

“...”

...

Two minutes and twenty-five seconds later, Chen Yu and Little Peach appeared at the Forbidden Forest’s airport, neatly dressed.

“Mr. Chen, where are we going?”

“We’re going to send a delivery to our fans,” Chen Yu answered as he walked up the staircase and entered the Type-R Spacecraft. After putting on his opera mask, he turned around and shouted, “Can you not move so slowly?”

“Mr. Chen...” Pursing her lips, Little Peach said, “You’re the one who’s too quick.”

“?”
