[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]
After the first line of text flashed by, Chen Yu promptly focused his attention on the first product.
[1. Sweet Voice Candy: Produced by the Green Arrow Food Company in the year 2035. One box contains 400 pieces. The candy is mainly made from liquified helium. When consumed, this candy will effectively reduce the oral cavity’s resonance frequency and enhance the mid- and high- frequency sound waves, allowing even men to speak in a sweet and pleasant tone. The selling price is 4 points.]
Chen Yu: “…”
[2. Specific Bait-shaped Insecticide: Produced by the Bayer Company in the year 2079. This insecticide is capable of changing the ion concentration found on the giant axons of cockroaches. It functions by keeping the giant axons’ voltage-gated ion channels open and allowing the continuous flow of sodium ions through them. This, in turn, paralyzes the affected cockroaches’ nervous system and eventually excites them to them.
Also, when the affected cockroaches die, they will secrete aggregation pheromones, attracting their kin to consume their corpses. In turn, this facilitates the transfer of the insecticide’s active ingredients to a new batch of cockroaches, which will then be killed shortly after. This cycle can be repeated up to a maximum of 20 to 32 times. With the help of this insecticide, it is possible to effectively kill all cockroaches within a 100-kilometer radius. The selling price is 22 points.]
Chen Yu: “…”
Immediately, the pitch-black screen lit up with a gentle glow. A string of English alphabets also appeared in the middle of the screen.
[Windows IOT15]
“Microsoft is actually still alive in 2088. Not bad.”
After the familiar yet unfamiliar graphical interface appeared, the left, top, and right screens also started displaying plenty of information.
The ceramic keyboard also lit up with a breathing pattern.
Many virtual buttons and scroll bars also appeared 10 centimeters above the keyboard to Chen Yu’s surprise. The holographic Alienware logo found on the keyboard’s upper-left corner even hovered and spun around like a magnet.
“This design…” Folding his arms around his chest, Chen Yu said, “It’s a little bit showy. It’s definitely perfect for playing games.”
“It’s used to make money!” Little Peach hurriedly emphasized.
“…Fine, fine, fine. Take it. I said it’s a gift, so it’s yours.”
“Thank you, Mr. Chen! Favorability-”
“If you dare raise it, give me back the laptop.”
“…minus 15…”
“OK, take it away.”
Unsure whether she should be happy or frustrated at this situation, Little Peach carried the laptop away and settled it on the study table. She then fell into a daze as she stared at the computer.
…
After removing his haori, Chen Yu walked out of the room to find something to eat. While walking into the kitchen, the corner of his eyes caught sight of his three little sisters grouping up before the living room’s sofa doing something.
“What are you guys doing?”
Chen Yike: “…Ah?!”
Chen Erke: “…Ah?!”
Chen Sanke: “…”
Surprised, the three girls hurriedly turned around to look at Chen Yu, panic in their eyes.
“Hm?” Frowning, Chen Yu realized that something was amiss. “Did you guys do something wrong behind my back?”
Chen Yike: “Definitely not!”
Chen Erke: “Definitely not!”
Chen Sanke: “…Ah?!”
Chen Yu grew even more suspicious at their reactions. Walking into the living room, he asked, “If not, why are you behaving so sneakily?”
Chen Yike: “You’re overthinking things.”
Chen Erke: “You’re overthinking things.”
Chen Sanke: “Definitely not!”
“What’s behind you?”
Chen Yike: “Brother, weren’t you supposed to be out?”
Chen Erke: “Brother, weren’t you supposed to be out?”
Chen Sanke: “You’re overthinking things.”
Chen Yu: “…”
After standing in place and pondering, Chen Yu suddenly made a huge leap into the air and landed on the sofa. Immediately, caught sight of what his three little sisters were hiding behind them…
It was a dog!
It was a dog that looked like a wolf but wasn’t a wolf!
Currently, the dog was staring straight at Chen Yu with gray eyes filled with wisdom.
