Chapter 58 – The Curse of Being an Elder Brother

After taking the syringe out of the box, Chen Yu raised it toward his window to get a better look at it .

As he studied the spiraling syringe, he got the impression that the blue liquid inside was consciously moving .

“Why does it feel like the t-Virus[1]?”

Chen Yu pulled out his phone and searched for images of the dangerous t-Virus on the internet to compare with the blue liquid he held . And the more images he looked at, the more he found the t-Virus similar to the blue liquid he held .

[Chen Yu: “I got the item . However, I want to know if it’s harmful or not . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “It is a gene agent that’s considerably beneficial to the human constitution . How can it possibly be harmful?”]

[Chen Yu: “Alright, then . Take it as me overthinking things . Oh, right . Is this gene agent capable of increasing intelligence?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Intelligence? It is only capable of increasing the transmission rate of brain neurons . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Truthfully, while this might seem laughable, I think that my…brain is slightly different from the ordinary person’s . Can this gene agent fix it?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Are you sure it is just slightly different, Mr . Chen?”]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Haha, I was just joking with you . Mr . Chen, you are merely too young to think things out fully . Things will get better once you grow up and mature . ”]

[Chen Yu: “But my mom said that I’d stay this way even after I grow old . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…Your mother might be correct . ”]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]

[Chen Yu: “Very good . Speaking with you has made me very damned happy . Goodbye . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Goodbye . ”]

After exiting WeChat and tossing aside his phone, Chen Yu removed the syringe’s cap and pressed the needle against his shoulder . Afterward, he fell into silence for three minutes .

“It should hurt a lot…”

“Phew…”

Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh, then gritted his teeth and pushed down the syringe, its needle stabbing into his muscle tissues .

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…

In the next moment, the spiraling structure inside the syringe actually started rotating, pushing the blue liquid into Chen Yu’s body .

Swish… Click .

Five seconds later, all of the blue liquid had been injected into Chen Yu’s body . A red light then lit up at the top of the syringe . He hurriedly pulled out the needle, then licked the needle wound to stop his blood from flowing out .

Moving his arm around, Chen Yu found that he did not feel any discomfort whatsoever .

[Chen Yu: “I injected it, but there doesn’t seem to be any changes?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The changes naturally won’t occur immediately . The gene agent will gradually modify and improve your constitution throughout a long period . You may also accelerate this process by exercising . ”]

[Chen Yu: “OK . I also noticed that the syringe used to store the gene agent is quite special . Can I exchange it for something?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…You can . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Wonderful . Switch it to something else for me . No water, though . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr . Chen, the thermostatic syringe used to store the gene agent can’t be used to exchange for something as valuable as water . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Anything is fine, just not water . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Very well, Mr . Chen . Please wait a moment . I’ll send in the application for you now . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Application completed . Based on your possible needs, we have chosen three items for you to choose from . One: Fragrant Toilet Paper; Two: High Polymer Plastic Bag; Three: Fated Hammer . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Give me an explanation . What are they used for?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The Fragrant Toilet Paper will make your butt fragrant when used . Every sheet of toilet paper that comes into contact with your skin will also combine with dead skin cells and bacteria to produce different fragrances . You can also use it to remove body odor and avoid awkward situations . The toilet paper also has a sterilizing function that helps protect your health .

“The High Polymer Plastic Bag is a very sturdy food-packaging bag . It can prevent the release of toxic substances due to steam and high temperatures .

“The Fated Hammer has a built-in processor that can adjust the hammer’s trajectory using the wind blade on the hammer’s peen to ensure that every hit will avoid the nail and hit your finger . ”]

Chen Yu’s face started twitching intensely at the three items’ descriptions .

[Chen Yu: “What are these junks?! I won’t say much about the toilet paper and plastic bag, but what’s up with that Fated Hammer?! What is the point of creating it?!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “To avoid the frustration of hitting the nail every time . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Shouldn’t you be frustrated for missing the nail?!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The thought process of you ancient people truly is mysterious . ”]

[Chen Yu: “…You people are the ones that are strange, alright?! I want a replacement!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I’m sorry, Mr . Chen, but the thermostatic syringe’s value is simply too low . You cannot apply for a replacement . You may only choose one of the three aforementioned items . ”]

Lowering his head and glancing at the syringe in his hand, Chen Yu massaged his forehead for a long time before he sent back a reply .

[Chen Yu: “I’ll get the first one, then . I can at least let my family use it . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I will open the space-time wormhole for you now . Please place the thermostatic syringe into it . ”]

Immediately, a white vortex formed before Chen Yu . He then casually tossed the empty syringe into the wormhole .

Three seconds later, a roll of toilet paper fell out of the wormhole .

Once the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu extended his hand to grab the toilet paper . He put it before his nose and gave it a sniff but failed to smell any fragrance from it .

Will it give off a fragrance only after it is used?

With this thought in mind, Chen Yu brought the roll out of his room and went to the toilet . He then hung it in the toilet paper dispenser there and pulled out a sheet .

Flap .

To Chen Yu’s surprise, an instruction manual actually fell off the back of the sheet of toilet paper he pulled out .

Picking up the instruction manual, he saw only one sentence written on it .

[Any body fluid that comes into contact with this paper towel will activate the active matter contained within the paper’s fibers and cause it to release a mysterious fragrance . ]

“So, that’s the case!” Realization dawned upon Chen Yu . “There’s actually active matter inside it . ”

After giving the toilet paper another look, Chen Yu squatted down and stuck his tongue out before the toilet paper . He then licked it without hesitation .

In the next second, a strange, indescribable fragrance drifted into Chen Yu’s nose, intoxicating him .

“This is truly…wonderful…”

After sniffing the strange fragrance for a while, Chen Yu suddenly heard the sound of something hitting the floor coming from behind him . Turning his head around, he saw Chen Erke staring at him wide-eyed and a crayon by her feet .

Even after a moment had passed, Chen Yu’s tongue remained stretched out of his mouth .

Meanwhile, Chen Erke remained standing motionlessly as well .

The two siblings goggled at each other, their muscles stiff .

Time seemingly stopped at this moment .

Sound seemingly disappeared as well .

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Chen Erke snapped out of her daze and took a step back . She then slammed the toilet’s door shut with a bang .

She said through the door, “I… I didn’t see anything . (ಥ_ಥ)”

“Second Eldest! Wa-Wait! Second Eldest, let me explain!”

Chen Yu chased after Chen Erke in a panic . However, like a frightened rabbit, she dashed into the master bedroom and locked the door .

That was a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life .

Her elder brother had actually been licking a sheet of paper with an affectionate and intoxicated expression on his face .

That was paper found inside the toilet . Aside from it being toilet paper, what else could it possibly be?

…

Chen Yu: “…”

After standing before the master bedroom’s door in a daze for some time, Chen Yu turned around and dragged himself back into his own room . He then walked to his window and looked at the flowing traffic below with a lifeless expression .

“It’s over…

“I’m finally going to be treated like a pervert by my little sisters…”
