Chapter 9
“Trash!
“You’re a perfect piece of trash!
“Is there nothing you can do right?! How can you even forget to pick Second Eldest up from class? Good-for-nothing! Why did I not forget you back then?”

In the Chen family’s living room, Chen Yu and Chen Yike sat on the couch obediently, receiving Mrs. Chen’s scoldings, not daring to utter a refuting statement.
On the side stood Chen Erke with the bottle of black tea in her hands and Chen Sanke suckling on her finger. They were watching the scene happily.
“This will be the last time,” Chen Yu raised his hands and said.
“Of course this will be the last time!” Mrs. Chen raged. “Why would there be a next time? If the teacher did not call me, I bet that it would have never crossed your mind even until your wedding day!”
[Chen Yu: “What gifts?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “The product that you’re going to send back is the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory, right?”]
[Chen Yu: “Do you think I have any other products?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Alright. Hold on. I’ll inquire about it for you.”]
And immediately after he received the previous message, Chen Yu got a reply.
[Transdimensional Marketing: “The Nuclear Energy Laboratory is expensive, thus we can give you one of the three following items.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “1 – Polar Spring Water. 2 – Nutritional Mineral Water. 3 – Refined Asteroid Water.”]

[Chen Yu: “So I can only exchange for three bottles of water?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “No, just one.”]
[Chen Yu: “You’re trying to earn as much as you can, huh?”]
All Chen Yu got in reply was a smiley face.
[Chen Yu: “Tell me the difference between these three bottles of water then. Since it’s water from the future, it should be equipped with some special effects, right?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: Polar Spring Water: uses spring water from an ice cave located in the North Pole. Nutritional Mineral Water: pure water with numerous vitamins and minerals. Refined Asteroid Water: water extracted from meteorites and purified.”]
[Chen Yu: “…so they are just three ordinary bottles of water?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes, Mr. Chen. So, which one will you take?”]
[Chen Yu: “None! I won’t exchange for anything, okay?!”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, please be understanding. Think about this; how much does a pager that cost an arm and a leg in the past cost in your current world?”]

[Chen Yu: “Don’t bullshit with me! I would rather bring this toy laboratory to my grave than exchange it for a bottle of water!”]
Humans were strange creatures.

Initially, Chen Yu only hoped that the other party would get rid of the “piece of trash” for him.
However, when it was offered to be exchanged with “something,” he started pin-pointing the cons of this “something.”
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Hold on. I’ll try to see if I can apply for something that you would like.”]
[Chen Yu: “You can save your energy if it’s going to be another bottle of water.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, there’s something you’re unaware of. Natural pure water is considered a more precious drink in my time. It’s not cheap to get them.”]

[Chen Yu: “I don’t need water.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Okay, hold on.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “I have managed to get you three new choices according to your likely needs 1 – Enhanced Memory Circlet. 2 – Microkinetic Basketball Shoes. 3 – Precision Homing Slingshot.”]

Chen Yu’s eyes lit up at the message as he typed a reply happily.
[Chen Yu: “Sounds good! Tell me more about them.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “I suggest that you take the water. These aren’t as valuable as the water, price-wise.”]
[Chen Yu: “I do not care about your opinion. Only my opinion matters.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]
