Chapter 142 – Interaction Start (1)
“Bilibili platform, ID China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation.”
After reading out the last ID, Chen Yu looked at the camera and said, “The IDs called out for the bullet comment group and donation group, send me your addresses. You have one minute only. Afterward, think of where you wish to play ball. Now, let’s return to the top of the mountain.”
Picking up the Life Sphere, Chen Yu walked up to Little Peach and said, “Get up. We’re going back to the mountain top.”
“So fun… It’s really fun.” Little Peach was still lying on the ground, drenched. After wiping all the lubricating fluid off her body, she climbed up, took the Life Sphere from Chen Yu, and said, “My body feels slippery and sticky. I want to go wash up.”
“No need to wash up.” Chen Yu pinched a drop of lubricant stuck on his armor and lightly pulled it into a thin, silver strand.
“This lubricant should be specially made. It evaporates very quickly. Most of the lubricant stuck on my protective suit has dried out already. You’re wearing textile, so it should dry out a little slower.”
After explaining, Chen Yu hugged Little Peach, and Little Peach hugged the Life Sphere. With the plasma engine’s thrust, they then rapidly ascended and returned to the top of Phoenix Mountain.
Disgusted, Chen Yu motioned for the other party to stay further away from him. He then proceeded with connecting to the next address.
The last member of the bullet comment group was an elderly man. The old man wobbled through the portal with the help of a cane. After scanning Chen Yu with his eyes, the old man grew so excited that even his beard started trembling. “My ancestor, not bad!”
“…Old man?”
“Hey! I’m your loyal fan! I’ve watched your show since I was young!”
“You…” Gaping in shock, Che Yu asked, “How old are you this year?”
“I’m 37!” the old man said as he gestured a “3.”
“Thirty-seven!?”
Everyone was flabbergasted.
“I’m a programmer.”
“Oh…”
Realization dawned on everyone.
“‘Oh’ my ass! You won’t look so old even if you write web novels!” Chen Yu retorted. “How old are you?”
“Young man, you saw through me?”
“I’m not blind.”
“I’m 77 this year. I’m afraid you’ll say I’m too old, so I mentioned a younger age.”
“…Why are you here?”
Tapping his walking stick on the ground, the old man’s face flushed as he loudly laughed, “Of course, it is to play!”
“Play with your life?”
“To play something exciting! It’s simply exhilarating to roll off from the top of a mountain! Cough, cough, cough…”
“Old man…” Hesitantly, Chen Yu said, “This game…has somewhat high physical requirements. You should pass on this.”
“It’s fine.” Heroically waving his walking stick, the old man said, “I’m only 87. I’m at an age where I’m still-*cough, cough…*young and powerful.”
Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu asked, “Old man, how old are you exactly? Can you speak truthfully?”
“I can’t remember.” The old man insisted on not speaking his actual age. “I’ve had bad luck throughout my entire life. When I cross bridges, they collapse. When I walk across roads, they break. When I was marching across a trench in my brigade during my younger days, I marched at the last of the 400-man group. I was also the only one to step on a nail. After becoming an adult, every place I worked at ended up going out of business. When I grew old, I worked as a security guard, and every place I worked at ended up getting robbed. I never thought that after growing even older, my luck would turn! I actually won a spot against so many people, haha-cough, cough…”
Chen Yu’s expression turned complex when he heard the old man’s words. “Old man, you’ve lived a difficult life, so don’t push yourself any further.”
“No! I must play!”
“Must you play?”
“I must play!” The old man firmly repeated.
“…Fine. I’ll try to find a relatively flat place for you.”
After settling the bullet comment group’s final member, Chen Yu faced the camera and said, “Now, it’s time for the donation group. First, DouYu platform, ID Nintendo, the address is in Tokyo, Japan.”
[Out with the Lucker Group, and in with the Tycoon Group.]
[Is that old man really okay?]
[I’m so damned envious of him…]
[I spammed comments using 10 phones, yet I still failed.]
[Crap! So what if they’re rich?!]
Buzz!
After establishing the spatial link, a wide hall appeared behind the metal arch.
Clap, clap, clap…
Over a hundred people inside the hall started applauding enthusiastically. Amidst the applause, Nintendo’s representative walked through the Interstellar Portal. After arriving before Chen Yu, the representative threw himself to the ground with a “plop” and said, “Sumimasen!”
Chen Yu: “…”
