Chapter 36: 36

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 . ]

[I nearly believed you . (ಥ◡ಥ)]

[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 . ”
