Chapter 153 – Daily Life (1)

The days without livestreaming were long and quiet.

The additional livestream that took place half a month ago had garnered a total of 1.28 million viewers, bringing Chen Yu 42 points in revenue. Including his leftover points, he now had 55 points in total.

After the additional livestream, Chen Yu would inspect the Transdimensional Store every day. Unfortunately, none of the products recommended managed to catch his eyes. Hence, he had not conducted any more additional livestreams during the past two weeks.

As for the internet, the world’s governments still placed an information lockdown on him. Moreover, they had further strengthened their efforts to keep his existence a secret.

However, as the number of people that knew about Transdimensional Review continuously increased, the various governments’ blockade started showing signs of failing. This was especially true for countries with lacking control over its media and internet. Some online forums hosted in these countries would even blatantly make posts discussing Chen Yu.

Even so, the various governments were still working hard to prevent news of Chen Yu from spreading further.

After Chen Yu had left them those “letters,” whether it was for public or private reasons, they all had a good reason to continue their actions.

As for the real world...

In the Sixth High Chen Yu resided in, there were definitely students that knew of Transdimensional Review. However, every one of these students carefully concealed this fact, afraid that they would bring trouble to themselves. They would only discuss the channel with their close friends. Meanwhile, on his way to and back from school, Chen Yu occasionally picked up on these conversations with his enhanced hearing.

This was the restriction of Transdimensional Review’s current development.

It was also the result Chen Yu hoped for the most.

His current access level was still too low. Gaining a sudden burst of popularity would do more harm than good to him. Steadily making progress was the right way to go.

What great wisdom!

Chen Yu would lament like this from time to time...

...

Today was a Friday night.

Mother Chen sat on the sofa and browsed through her social media. After getting stimulated by something, she suddenly had the urge to visit her hometown.

Hence, the whole family of six humans and one dog packed up their things and drove to Wafangdian City under Mother Chen’s command.

The Chen family’s car was an old-fashioned Santana. Although the car had passed through many hands before, as Father Chen worked as a car mechanic, the car was well-maintained. The engine used was even the original one still.

The seating arrangement inside the car was very simple. Mother Chen, Chen Yike, and Chen Erke sat at the back, and Chen Yu sat in the passenger seat with Chen Sanke on his lap.

As for the husky, it was stuffed into the trunk.

To prevent the dog from making noise, Chen Yu even secretly prepared a bottle of Niulanshan[1] for it, hoping for it to get drunk and fall asleep...

Chen Yu also didn’t forget to bring Little Peach on the trip. Currently, she remained invisible as she laid on the Santana’s “throne”—the roof.

Due to Little Peach’s presence, Father Chen constantly grumbled throughout the trip. “Why does the car feel so heavy today...”

Jinzhou City was 78 kilometers away from Wafangdian City. Before eight o’clock in the evening, the Chen family arrived at the northern entrance of Wafangdian Stadium, which was the place where Mother Chen’s parents’ home was located.

When Mother Chen excitedly knocked on the door of her parents’ house together with her three daughters, Chen Yu’s maternal grandparents appeared with a bewildered look on their faces.

Grandma: “It’s not the new years yet. Why are you back? Did you roll off your bed and hit your head?”

Grandpa: “Did you have an argument? You’re almost fifty! How can you come back to your parents’ house?!”

“...Mom, dad! What are you talking about!” Mother Chen pouted and stamped her feet in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yu, for some reason, felt his eyes ache...

“Mom, I did some calculations. Suppose you two can continue living for another 30 years, and I visit every Spring Festival, Labour Day, and National Day. After deducting the time spent on eating and sleeping, I can only spend three hours with you every day.”

While talking, Mother Chen’s eyes started becoming moist. “If we add up these hours, that will only total to 900 hours or 37 days! I can only accompany you for 37 more days! So, I want to extend this time and accompany you more!”

You learned that from your social circles, right?! Chen Yu inwardly complained.

He finally knew what had “stimulated” his mother so much...

Hearing their daughter’s affectionate words, the elderly couple exchanged looks with each other.

Grandpa: “...Thirty-seven days, huh. That’s a lot.”

Grandma: “That’s right. Don’t extend it anymore...”

Mother Chen: “...”

“Pfft.” Chen Yu’s eyes widened as he tried his best to hold back his laughter. However, he failed to perfectly hide his laughter and still leaked out a snort.

Mother Chen expressionlessly glanced at Chen Yu.

“Ah!” Chen Erke suddenly cried out in pain as she pulled her hand away from Mother Chen’s tight grip. “Mom, you hurt me.”

“...” Cold sweat began appearing on Chen Yu’s forehead.

“Oh? Big Sis is here?”

At this time, a robust man in his thirties walked out of the house and greeted the Chen family in surprise. He then rushed up Chen Yu and “lifted” him up high...

“Oh! My big nephew! Uncle missed you a lot!”

With a pained look, Chen Yu said, “Uncle, I’m an adult now. Can you stop lifting me like this?”

“Didn’t you like it a lot when you were young?”

“...”

“Uncle! Uncle!” Chen Sanke walked over and looked at Chen Yu, who was being raised. She then stretched out her hands and said, “I want to go up high too!”

“Oh, Little Sanke, did you miss Uncle?” At Chen Sanke’s pleading, the robust man casually tossed Chen Yu away and turned around to pick up Chen Sanke. He then placed her on his shoulders and asked, “Is that high enough?”

“Yes! Hahaha!” Chen Sanke let out a series of chime-like laughter.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu’s complexion darkened as he staggered and steadied himself. He then stretched a finger at his uncle and said, “I want to go up to your shoulders as well.”

Uncle: “...”

“Stop standing around. It’s cold outside. Come in,” Grandpa said as he waved his hand. The Chen family of six then entered the house in a single file.

While following his maternal grandfather through the long hallway, Chen Yu saw that the house was filled with Buddhist statues. Smiling, he said, “Grandpa, there are even more Buddhist statues in the house now.”

“That’s right!” Grandpa admitted triumphantly. “Little Yu, your Grandpa is still second to none when it comes to believing in Buddhism. I’ve studied Buddhism for most of my life. I’m a professional at it now!”

“Did you manage to uncover anything?”

Suddenly, Grandpa moved close to Chen Yu’s ears and lowered his voice, asking, “Do you know about probability?”

“Probability?” Chen Yu was shocked. “You’re playing probability with Buddha?!”

“That’s right?” Grandpa nodded. “If I pray to just one deity, I might not necessarily have my prayers answered. If I pray to 100 deities, however, I’m bound to get an answer, right? Also, who can guarantee that they’ll have a sincere heart every time they pray? On the other hand, if I make numerous prayers, regardless of whether I’m sincere, the deities will at least see that I’m working hard and won’t mistreat me.”

“You can do it like that as well?” Chen Yu measured his grandfather in admiration.

“Moreover...” A faint smile forming on his face, Grandpa moved closer to Chen Yu’s ears and said, “Only with competition will there be more benefits!”

“...” Chen Yu didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry right now. “I think you don’t believe in Buddhism at all. You just like keeping Buddhist statues...”

“Nonsense!” Grandpa said with a glare. “Come, come, come. Grandpa will show you my Buddha room.”

After saying so, Grandpa dragged Chen Yu into a separate room, and inside the room were tons of Buddhist statues!

The room was vast and filled with incense smoke...

“Cough.”

Chen Yu covered his mouth and scanned the various Buddhist statues inside. “A-Aren’t there a little too many? You don’t even have a place to stand, let alone squat...”

“I have my reasons,” Grandpa said in a triumphant tone. “Where there is Buddha’s light, there will be demons that turn good. This also gives us the saying of ‘lay down the butcher’s knife, become a Buddha on the spot.’ Little Yu, savor it. Carefully savor it.”[2]

“S-Savor what...”

“If the demon becomes a Buddha, where does its knife go?” Grandpa asked, spreading his hands. “Won’t it fall to my room? That will be disgusting. So, I thoroughly filled this Buddha room, leaving no room for the demon to leave its knife at!”

Chen Yu’s jaw fell...

“Who would be happy to have a knife placed on their heads? If the demon wants to put down its knife, it can do it in someone else’s house. Just don’t do it in ours,” Grandpa confidently said with his arms akimbo.

“...”

After a long silence, Chen Yu slowly raised his thumb and said, “Grandpa, you’re a real talent...”
