Chapter 1

It was the year 2020. The wave of becoming a content creator had already died down, but Chen Yu, who was a slow-witted oddball, only thought of becoming one now.

After doing some simple research online, Chen Yu decided to start his journey of being a technology content creator on Bilibili.
13
He dreamt that many large organizations would come to him, begging for collaboration and gifting him many technological products. He would be able to earn money too.
However, reality gave him a smack in the face.
After spending all his savings on a camera and notebook that cost more than 3,000 yuan in total to do two unboxing videos, and all he got in return was a measly 56 views and 0 comments.

This made Chen Yu go ballistic.
Other UPs had at least a hundred thousand or even millions of views! Why did he have only 56? (TL notes: In China, content creators are known as UP, short for “uploader.”)

“Blocked?” Gradually, Chen Yu calmed down.
Don’t tell me they are adult products?
[Chen Yu: “Are they adult products?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “There are some, but not mainly. We advertise high-tech products mainly. It may have been because of the price we offer. It might be too low compared to what they want.”]

Chen Yu was relieved to see the message. He started typing on his mobile phone speedily.
[Chen Yu: “That’s fine, I’m new, so I’ll accept any decent price. May I know the price that your company offers?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Our company does not pay for collaborations.”]
[Chen Yu: “???”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “We only gift our partners the products for advertising.”]

“No wonder!”

Chen Yu suddenly understood.
No wonder you’re being blocked by famous UPs!
Which famous UP would advertise for you when they would not be getting a single cent and the product is all they get in return?
Upon knowing the reason, the excitement in Chen Yu had largely died down. He thought long and hard before deciding to accept the offer.
I might not earn anything, but I am getting my hands on technological products for free. It wouldn’t be a loss either.
I could sell them off after I’m done with them. In that way, I would be earning too.
[Chen Yu: “I get it. I’m willing to work with your company.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Thank you so much! Let’s sign the contract now.”]
[Chen Yu: “Hold on.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes?”]
[Chen Yu: “I want to take a look at the company’s products. I’ll only sign when I’m sure that everything’s alright.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “No problem. I’ll send it over right now. Please take note. You can ask me if you have any doubts.”]
[Chen Yu: “Okay.”]
Chen Yu lay down on the bed, holding onto his mobile phone as he patiently waited for the list to be sent over.
Two minutes later, a Word document was sent to him.
“Here it is.”
Chen Yu opened the document in a hurry, but the first product had him jumping out of his bed in utter disbelief.

Holding his mobile phone, Chen Yu’s hands trembled.

“This…
“What…on earth are all these?”
