Chapter 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!]
[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.”
