Chapter 36 – Trouble Brewing

In the video, Chen Yu was still reviewing the Quantum Reading Glasses.

“Alright, I’ve already activated the limit standard. Currently, from my perspective, time is moving incredibly slowly. Hence, in order to ensure everyone can understand what I say, I am doing my best to control the speed of my speech.”

While Chen Yu was saying so, he utilized his unique method of flipping pages when using the quantum glasses to locate page 225. After pausing on the page for roughly five seconds, he then closed the book and removed the glasses.

“OK, I’ve memorized everything. The poem was quite complex, so it took me a little more time than expected to memorize it entirely. Don’t mind the details.”

After making an “OK” sign, Chen Yu faced the camera and took out a long strip of cloth to cover the eyeholes of his mask. He then rapidly recited, “Starting from the first line: The good things in the world are not strong. They are fragile and can be shattered easily...”

[Damn! You’re amazing, brother!]

[Don’t tell me he actually memorized the entire thing?]

[Sorry for interrupting.]

[OHHH! FFFF! Crap! Amazing!]

[You should win an award for your acting.] ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

[I nearly believed you. (???)]

[Stop showing off. How much is it? I’ll buy it, alright?]

Eventually, Chen Yu finished reciting the last verse of the poem. He then removed the cloth covering his eyes and snapped his fingers as he said, “Page 225. The whole poem contains over 500 words. I should’ve gotten every single word.”

After saying so, he opened up page 225 once more and turned it toward the camera, adding, “Everyone can take a look and see whether I recited incorrectly or not.”

Three seconds later, he moved the book away and crossed his two index fingers before the camera. In a pretentious and satisfied tone, he then said, “I know that some of you think that I am putting on an act. It doesn’t matter. Actions speak louder than words. If one book isn’t enough to prove it, then I’ll use two, three, or even four books. You guys can’t possibly think I’ve memorized every one of these books beforehand, right?”

Chen Yu then picked up the dice and rolled them on the review table once more.

Roll...

Two.

Three.

Three.

“Two, three, and three. Sum them up, and we get eight. In that case, let’s pick the eighth book,” Chen Yu said. He then counted down the stack of books and picked out the eighth one. Showing the book to the camera, he continued, “Mr. Yu’s April 3rd Incident. This is a very thick book. I can even kill someone if I drop it from the top of a building. You can’t possibly think I’ve memorized this entire book, right?”

After saying so, he rolled the three dice once more.

Roll...

From the lowest number to the highest: one, five, and six.

“Next, it’s time to witness a miracle once more.”

After wearing the quantum glasses and picking up the April 3rd Incident, Chen Yu quickly flipped to page 156. Within one second, he slammed the book shut and removed the quantum glasses. He then blindfolded himself with the long strip of cloth once more.

“Did you know? Bai Xue said. Without realizing it, Han Sheng had actually arrived at her front door. According to Han Sheng, on a certain day two years ago, he had seen Bai Xue tumbling out of this same door in a hurry, just like how she came tumbling out now...

“...While Bai Xue’s room was exquisite, it was not as tidy as Han Sheng’s room. He sat on the chair...

“...When Bai Xue decided to open up and tell Han Sheng everything, it was Han Sheng who ended up getting surprised instead.”

After reciting the last word, Chen Yu excitedly removed the cloth covering his eyes before looking at the camera and asking, “Am I amazing, or not?!”

[Amazing!]

[How did you do it?]

[I was surprised!]

[Truthfully, your way of acting is getting really annoying.]

[The Brain welcomes you.][1]

[This UP is amazing. Subscribed.]

Like before, Chen Yu held up the April 3rd Incident and displayed the contents of page 156 to the camera for three seconds. He then moved the book away and said, “Next up, the third book.”

Roll...

“Three, three, and four. Add them together, and we get ten. The tenth book.”

Grabbing the tenth book from the stack, Chen Yu joyfully displayed the book’s cover to the camera as he said, “This is the fifth edition of the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary. I doubt anyone would think I’ve memorized this whole thing, right?”

After saying so, Chen Yu went straight to rolling the dice once more.

“Two, four, and five. Page 245.”

Wearing the quantum glasses with the reading mode set to limit standard, Chen Yu spent two seconds to memorize the entire page.

“Snoring: <> Snore.[1]

“Skid: noun, 1. a reduction in the movement of a pulley or other mechanism due to slipping of the belt, rope, etc. verb, 2. to move obliquely or sideways, usually in an uncontrolled manner.

“Flicker: verb, to make small, quick movements. Banter: verb, to intersperse comic remarks (in a performance); (fig.) to quip; to banter.

“Masturbate: verb...”

[Amazing! (I present my first-ever bullet comment to you, UP.)]

[This show is going to blow up!]

[I’m impressed! I’m really convinced now!]

[I want all information on this guy within one minute!]

After Chen Yu finished reciting, he flipped to the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary‘s page 225 and showed its contents to the camera.

Sure enough, he did not miss out a single word!

“Logically, I should proceed to another book. However, due to the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary‘s extraordinary thickness, just reciting one page shouldn’t be sufficiently convincing. Hence, I’ll recite another page to prove the Quantum Reading Glasses’s ability,” Chen Yu said. He then picked up the three dice and rolled them again.

Roll...

“It’s three, three, and six this time. Page 336. I know. I’m certain that there will be people accusing me of tampering with the dice. In that case, I’ll randomly add a number to this value. For this random number, let’s use my watch’s second hand. The time is currently...”

Inside the video, Chen Yu took a look at the time on his watch and said, “The second hand is currently at 47. Let’s add 47 to 336, then. The sum is... Hold on, let me calculate it...”

He started twiddling his fingers. After some time had passed, he raised his head and said, “The total is 383. Let me read page 383, then. Next up, it’s time to witness the fourth miracle occurring!”

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, he wore the quantum glasses and flipped to the dictionary’s page 383. This time, he spent only one second to memorize the entire page.

“Plan: noun, 1. program (for action, etc.); 2. proposal; proposed bill.

“Convenient: adjective, 1. fitting in well with a person’s needs, activities, and plans. verb, 2. to help out; to make things easy for people; convenience; suitable; having money to spare...verb, 5. (euphemism) to go to the toilet.

“Instant noodles: noun, 1. A mass of dried, precooked noodles fused with oil...”

[Due to my lack of culture, all I can say is...crap.]

[Crap!]

[Crap! +1]

[Crap! +2]

[Crap! +3]

[Amazing!]

[Amazing! +1]

[Amazing! +2]

A bunch of bullet comments flooded the screen as Chen Yu recited the contents of page 383.

After flawlessly reciting the page, he removed his blindfold and gave a summary to the camera.

“Alright. It’s about time for me to end today’s review. Firstly, I would like to thank the Great Light Company for providing me with this technological product today. I would also like to thank you, my fellow viewers, for your support. I also swear that all the earnings from my videos will be donated to charity. So, please like, share, donate, and subscribe! Next Monday, I will bring you an even more exciting product.

“Also, I would like to use this opportunity to make an announcement. Starting with the fifth episode, Transdimensional Review will switch to livestreaming mode. At that time, there will be technological products that will truly shock everyone! And I will conduct real-time reviews of these products! Be there or be square!”

After Chen Yu finished the last line of his advertisement, the video fell into darkness.

...

At the same time, inside an unlisted apartment unit in Beijing...

After the middle-aged man seated at the head of the table turned off Chen Yu’s video, he remained silent for a long time before saying in a husky voice, “It seems there’s going to be big trouble.”
