Chapter 3
“It’s not her.”
Chen Yu left Chen Yike’s room covering his bruised, left eye. He turned around, and he could see the couch in the living room.

It was Chen Erke’s bed.
The Chen family lived in a flat that consisted of only two bedrooms. Chen Yu’s parents and Chen Sanke shared the master bedroom while Chen Yu got the guest room to himself, leaving Chen Erke with no choice but to sleep on the couch in the living room. Even Chen Yike’s room was just a separate part of the living room.

Chen Erke was currently lying on the couch on her stomach, doodling on a piece of torn cardboard with a small piece of crayon while swinging her legs back and forth.

It obviously wasn’t Chen Erke. She was already so poor, how could she possibly have the money to print anything…?
“Dad and Mom aren’t that childish either.”
Despite being so young, her arm strength was so terrifying…
Chen Yu sat on his bed cross-legged. He put a pause to the conversation between him and “Transdimensional Marketing.”
[Chen Yu: “I get it. Give me an hour to think through this.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Okay, Mr. Chen.”]
Chen Yu turned off his mobile phone and picked up the document that was placed on the side of his bed. He read through every page thoroughly, not missing out on any words. He had already lost count of the number of times he had reread the contract through the entire afternoon.
After conversing with “Transdimensional Marketing” on WeChat for six long hours, Chen Yu finally understood what was going on in general and how bizarre it was.
In short, “Transdimensional Marketing” was an advertising agency established in the future that advertised products to audiences of different spacetimes.

For example, the Coca-Cola company in 2020 would be advertised in 1820 so as to allow those of the 1820 timeline to learn about it. When Coca-Cola was finally established in 1886, it would already have a customer base because of those who knew about it since 1820. This was the aim of different spacetime advertising.

Due to time paradoxes, even if people found out about Coca-Cola since 1820, it was impossible for them to create or find a substitution for Coca-Cola. They could only wait until 1886, when the founder of Coca-Cola established the brand. Anyone who tried to create the Coca-Cola brand before 1886 would fail without a doubt.

As a famous researcher once said, it was impossible to go back in time and kill one’s grandfather because one’s existence proved that his or her grandfather was alive. This was the idea of a time paradox.
18
Not only that though, it also included the parallel universes theory, many-worlds theory, and plenty of other confusing knowledge. It was extremely professional!
2
Even if the other party tried his best to explain it in detail to Chen Yu numerous times, he was still unable to understand what was going on.
But that technical knowledge wasn’t important to Chen Yu. All he needed to know was that the person who contacted him on WeChat was a salesperson of an advertising agency that was set up in the future. This specific salesperson was in charge of the spacetime Chen Yu was in.
In summary, this was a new, epoch-making, impactful, and beyond-time advertising method that sent chills running down one’s spine.
If golden opportunities were to be described as a free lunch falling down from the sky, then Chen Yu might have gotten a banquet… Moreover, it was a banquet that many content creators on Bilibili had rejected….
However, being a banquet, there were bound to be inedible dishes that were hidden amongst the good ones. He might die from them if he wasn’t careful.
“Brother! Time to eat!”

The door to his room swung open again. Chen Erke knocked on the door frame unhappily. “Hurry up! Why do I have to invite you out every single day?”
“Alright! Alright! I’m coming!”
Chen Yu placed the document aside and jumped off his bed. He followed Chen Erke to the kitchen while weighing the pros and cons of the cooperation.
According to the “Transdimensional Advertising Law” from the future, the contract was exclusive to him. Thus, he would be the only person who could advertise and give reviews of technological products from the future within his timeline if he chose to take up the offer.
5
The benefits of taking up this job were evident: he would become an instant hit worldwide due to the futuristic products that he would be reviewing!
2
However, huge troubles would come with it.
If he were to do a review on a spaceship or something, there might be a chance that, as soon as he woke up the next morning, his house would be mobbed by an ocean of fully armed fellow countrymen asking for it…
