Transdimensional Marketing

Chapter 38 – Is the WiFi There Fast?

[Chen Yu: “If one bucket isn’t enough, I’ll add another bucket. Two buckets of tap water!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…Mr. Chen, that’s too expensive. You don’t have to spend that kind of money.”]

[Chen Yu: “No need to be polite. With our relationship, what’s there to be concerned about a little money? It’s fine so long as you’re happy.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Thank you for your kind gesture. I am very happy.”]

[Chen Yu: “Once I get back home tonight, open up a space-time wormhole, and I’ll send the water over. I’ll let you have your fill.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “You really don’t need to do that, Mr. Chen. The mass of the universe cannot be changed. The water resource in your space-time belongs to your universe’s matter. We cannot obtain it.”]

[Chen Yu: “Huh? Isn’t that strange, then? Why can you send all those things over to me, yet I can’t send anything to you? Moreover, didn’t I send the Uranium-235 Laboratory back to you before?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “This involves very complex knowledge. To summarize, the products I sent you through the Transdimensional Express isn’t the original product. Instead, it is a new product formed from matter in your space-time.”]

[Chen Yu: “I’m a little lost.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “To put it in simpler terms, let’s use an example. I’m on Mars and you’re on Earth. If I wish to deliver a knife to you, I would have a very difficult time doing so. To solve this problem, I can just manipulate Earth’s machinery from Mars to create the knife. That would save me a lot of trouble. Do you understand now?”]

[Chen Yu: “So, that’s the case! I understand now. In other words, the products you delivered to me are actually created using the elements of my space-time! Meanwhile, the so-called wormhole is something like a cloning machine that copies the items found on your side and reproduces them here.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes, you are entirely correct! Hence, if you deliver water to me, when it arrives on my side, its intrinsic nature will become that of synthetic water again. Moreover, it will be synthetic water of inferior quality.]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Truthfully, natural water is only valuable because of its rarity. When consumed, it hardly tastes any different from synthetic water.”]

[Chen Yu: “Since that’s the case, I’ll just owe you a favor for now. If there’s an opportunity in the future, I’ll bring you to go drink natural water. Whether it is the Yellow River, the Ganges River, or the Nile River, you can drink from whichever you want.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “I prefer to drink spring water.”]

[Chen Yu: “There are plenty of spring waters as well. There’s the Longjing Spring, Baotu Spring, and Huhai Spring. You can drink from whichever spring you want.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Very well. I will eagerly await that day’s arrival. May I know if you have any other matters, Mr. Chen?”]

[Chen Yu: “Nope. Goodbye.”]

After saying goodbye, Chen Yu exited WeChat and pocketed his phone. He then turned to look at the internet cafe and breathed out a sigh of relief.

Today’s negligence had given him a powerful wakeup call.

At this point, he was no longer an ordinary person. To avoid getting into trouble, he needed to be extremely careful in his actions.

“Where should I go next?”

If he wished to study using the Quantum Reading Glasses, he definitely couldn’t visit a public location. He also couldn’t return home. In that case, he had only one place left—school.

The small forest in front of the school’s sports field burgeoned with vegetation. If he hid there, he definitely wouldn’t be found by anybody.

With a plan in mind, Chen Yu started making his way toward Sixth High without hesitation.

Five minutes later, he arrived at Sixth High. However, instead of entering through the main entrance, he climbed over a fence and hid inside the school’s little forest.

At this time, Niu Lanshan and Class 2’s form teacher just so happened to walk out of the school’s main entrance.

“You’ll search east, I’ll search west. We’ll catch that little bastard no matter what,” Niu Lanshan said to the form teacher with anger in his eyes. “Is his phone still off?”

At Niu Lanshan’s question, the form teacher pulled out his phone and gave Chen Yu a call. A moment later, he shook his head and said, “It’s still off.”

“Move out!”

At Niu Lanshan’s command, the two teachers split up and took independent action, intent on searching every internet cafe in the city in order to locate Chen Yu.

“Little bastard…” While walking, Niu Lanshan clenched his fist and swore, “You’d best not let me catch you! Otherwise…”

…

While Chen Yu studied tirelessly, time passed quickly.

With the Quantum Reading Glasses’s assistance, he managed to finish studying the five main subjects available for middle schoolers in just half a day. While he still wasn’t at the level of a top student in middle school, if he were given a chance to retake the high school entrance examination, he was confident he could enter a slightly above average high school without trouble.

Truthfully, from what Chen Yu could tell, middle school knowledge wasn’t particularly difficult to learn. So long as one was willing to put in the effort to study, it was relatively easy to get an average grade. Unless one was born with mental deficiency, the only reason why someone would fail to achieve a passing grade in middle school was that they did not study.

One couldn’t study because they were dumb?

Such a thing did not exist.

“I feel so wise right now.”

Removing the quantum glasses, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of exhaustion and satisfaction. He then stored the quantum glasses and textbooks in his bag before standing up and leaving the forest.

It was currently lunch break. After having a bowl of ramen in a restaurant outside of school, Chen Yu made his way back to the classroom of Class 2-2. He then sat on his seat and started snoozing.

Using the quantum glasses to study put a very heavy burden on his spirit. Meanwhile, the only way for him to recover from this kind of exhaustion was by sleeping.

“Crap! Brother Chen, you’re back?!”

Just as Chen Yu was about to drift into dreamland, a startled voice entered his ears and woke him up.

Lifting his head in a daze, Chen Yu noticed that the culprit was Li Liang.

After a brief moment of silence, Chen Yu took out a broken table leg from his desk compartment and sent it smacking at Li Liang’s bald head.

However, Li Liang reacted quickly and gave Chen Yu a bear hug, begging, “Brother Chen, I was wrong! Don’t hit me!”

“This is the second time you’ve woken me.”

“I was wrong.”

“Do you dare do it again?”

“No! I won’t do it again! I’m very cowardly,” Li Liang said as he frantically shook his head, the light reflecting off his head seeming to brighten up the classroom by quite a bit. “However, you really are courageous, Brother Chen.”

Rubbing his tired eyes, Chen Yu put down the table leg and asked, “How so?”

“Don’t you know that our class’s form teacher left the school to search the various internet cafes for you? He says he’s going to skin you alive if he catches you.”

“Oh.” Chen Yu nodded blankly in response.

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“Why should I be?” Chen Yu said as he sent Li Liang a look of contempt. “Baldie, let me tell you. As students, we don’t need to be afraid and submissive. So what if they catch me? If they have the ability to do so, let’s see them expel me!”

Chen Yu’s words shocked Li Liang.

“You don’t know just how high my position in school is right now. Even the principal is covering for me. I’m not boasting to you. Just look at how many times I’ve skipped class recently. What can the form teacher do to me?”

Upon hearing this, Li Liang started retreating fearfully away from Chen Yu.

“Just look at your frightened face. How is that befitting of that bald head of yours? Regardless, I’ve been finding our form teacher to be an eyesore recently. He’s been constantly targeting me like a loon. Once I graduate, I’ll be sure to give him a pleasant sur—”

Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a palm land on his shoulder.

Immediately, Chen Yu’s body shuddered involuntarily. He then stiffly turned his head around.

In the next moment, the figures of his form teacher, Niu Lanshan, Principal Pang, and his biological mother entered his vision. Currently, all four of them were staring at him with unblinking eyes.

“…”

Slowly turning his head back, Chen Yu quietly dug his phone out of his pocket and rapidly dialed the emergency medical services number “120.”

“Hello? Is there an open bed in the nearby hospital? Is the WiFi there fast?”
