Chapter 197 – Daily Life (1)

Chen Yu had gained a total of 5.22 million viewers from the five livestream rooms, earning him 522 points. Combined with the 73 leftover points, he now had a total of 625 points.

This was a vast sum of money!

With so many points, Chen Yu naturally had high expectations for the Transdimensional Store’s recommended products.

[Transdimensional Store Recommended Products (Refreshes at midnight every day.)]

[1. Inextinguishable Birthday Candles: Produced by the “Die from Addiction” Company in the year 2166. The candles are made out of a mixture of PP2 combustible powder, thermal insulation fiber, and mixed bio-oil. Enhanced oxidants, thickeners, phospholipids, and glycerin are also added to prevent the candles from being extinguished by means such as wind, water, dry powder, dry ice, carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, etc. Even in a vacuum environment, the candles can continue burning for at least 26 days. In addition, the high-temperature sparks created during the combustion process will effectively ignite all combustible materials within a 12-meter radius, which will further add joy to your birthday. The selling price is 160 points.]

Chen Yu swiped to the next page with an indifferent expression.

[2. Immoral Map Application: Made by the Immoral Company in the year 2134. The application adopts the 22nd-century’s most advanced vector map rendering technology. It has 450 petabytes of high-quality real-time maps, covering every city and town in the world. It also has 25.58 billion POI information. The application actively conceals every normal route available, allowing users to effectively exercise their comprehensive ability. The application will also open up 1.4 million routes that would enable users to experience life and death challenges such as brushing shoulders with trains and flying over the top of mountains. The selling price is 140 points.]

Standing up, Chen Yu walked to the table, picked up the glass of water there, and drank it. While massaging his temples, he mumbled, “Calm down. Think normal thoughts…”

[3. Automatic Cooking Pot: Produced by the Smith Barney Catering Company in the year 2143. This product belongs to a new generation of automated cooking robots. The cooking pot comes with 70 liters of concentrated Maillard reaction grease. Users only need to select the type of dish they wish to make on the virtual projection. No matter what food ingredients are inserted, the smart system will successfully produce the chosen dish. The cooking pot also ensures the cooked dish will have authentic taste, texture, and color. The selling price is 220 points.]

“Why do I get the feeling that the more points I have, the more expensive the products become?” Chen Yu fell into thought as he rubbed his chin. “Are they fleecing me?”

Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu messaged the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff member.

[Chen Yu: “?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “…Mr. Chen, have you finally gotten so lazy that you can’t even be bothered to type ‘Here?’”]

[Chen Yu: “I feel that the prices of the Transdimensional Store’s recommended products are greatly inflated. Care to explain?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “What kind of explanation do you wish to hear?”]

[Chen Yu: “Based on your words, are you planning to make up an excuse?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, it is normal for the prices of products recommended by the Transdimensional Store to fluctuate significantly. For example, even if two clothing pieces are made out of the same material, the prices can vary greatly depending on the brand and production scale. Let’s use the Invisibility Cloak you previously bought as another example. If it was produced by the Chanel Company, its price could easily go for 700 points or more.”]

[Chen Yu: “Oh~ So when I have more points, the store will recommend more expensive products for me?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes. ❤️”]

[Chen Yu: “What’s the difference between the two, then?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Branding.”]

Chen Yu: “…”

[Transdimensional Marketing: “:)”]

[Chen Yu: “I’m issuing a complaint!!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Live until the year 4,552 when the Transdimensional Marketing Company is established. Afterward, visit the company’s main branch located in the Kuiper Belt and arrange an appointment with the customer service department. My employee number is 233333…”]

Chen Yu tossed away his phone violently and looked at the Automatic Cooking Pot’s information displayed on his watch. After mentally struggling for a moment, he tapped his finger on the watch and chose to purchase the cooking pot.

Nowadays, life had become exhausting, and eating had gradually become the only reason to continue living in this world.

Hence, he couldn’t give up on this product no matter what.

Even if he wasn’t a foodie, it was difficult for him to resist the 22nd century’s cuisine.

[240 points expended (product + tax). Remaining points: 385]

“Dammit…” Chen Yu scratched his head in frustration when he saw his remaining points.

A few seconds later, a wormhole appeared in his room, and a white box fell out of it.

Without waiting for the wormhole to disappear, Little Peach dashed forward and grabbed the box. She then graciously handed it over to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu: “…”

Little Peach smiled meaningfully as she looked at Chen Yu. “Hehe.”

“Act normally and go back to coding.”

“Okay!”

After accepting the package, Chen Yu sat on the floor and removed the seal. He then pulled out a heavy electronic pot from the box.

After carefully inspecting the pot for a while, he set it down and picked up the instruction manual inside the box. He quickly understood how to operate the pot after a quick read.

Like the store page’s introduction, the Automatic Cooking Pot could cook food from start to finish. The most amazing part about the pot was its ability to produce the user’s desired dish regardless of the ingredients provided. The only difference between a dish cooked using correct ingredients and a dish cooked using incorrect ingredients would be the nutritional values.

For example, if he chose to cook egg fried rice and only tossed cabbage into the cooking pot, the machine could still “transform” the cabbage into egg fried rice.

“This is a little amazing…”

Setting the instruction manual aside, Chen Yu rubbed his empty stomach. He then stood up and left his room in excitement.

This was the first time he experienced the benefits of the Transdimensional Store’s ability to read his subconscious thoughts.

Creak.

Before he could head into the kitchen to find some ingredients, two of his little sisters suddenly assaulted him in the living room.

“Big Brother!” Chen Erke called out as she hugged Chen Yu’s left leg.

“Big Brother!” Chen Sanke hugged Chen Yu’s right leg.

“Oh, so you two are the only ones home.” After making a perfunctory comment, Chen Yu tried pushing the two away.

“No!”

“No!”

At his attempt to break away, his two little sisters hugged his legs with even greater strength.

Feeling helpless, Chen yu had no choice but to drag his legs into the kitchen. He then started finding the right ingredients.

“Have you guys eaten?”

“Not yet.” x2

Puffing up her cheeks, Chen Erke glared at Chen Sanke and said, “Don’t copy me!”

“Y-You’re the one copying me.”

“Whoever copies the other is a dog!”

“You’re the dog!”

“Stop quarreling!” Chen Yu clapped his hands to stop the two girls’ argument. He then grabbed three potatoes, two stalks of green onion, and one white radish from the kitchen counter. He then grabbed a piece of beef from the refrigerator, picked up the seasoning box, and set the ingredients on the table one after another. “Do you guys want to eat something?”

Chen Erke was momentarily taken aback by Chen Yu’s words. She then hurriedly nodded her head, “Yes!”

“I’m hungry.” On the other hand, Chen Sanke lowered her head, pulled up her shirt, and rubbed her exposed belly.

“What do you want to eat? Just name it.”

“I want to eat…” Placing her index finger on her lips, Chen Erke started recalling the fatty intestines she had at a restaurant before. Swallowing the saliva that had pooled in her mouth, she said, “I want to eat fatty intestines!”

Chen Sanke also subconsciously sucked on her thumb as she pondered. A moment later, she said, “Big Brother, I want to eat simps.”[1]

“Simps?!” Chen Yu was shocked.

“Mhm! Simps.”

“…Shrimps?”

“Shrimps.” Chen Sanke nodded vigorously.

“Okay. Let’s start making fatty intestines and stir-fried shrimps,” Chen Yu said as he rolled up his sleeves and worked his shoulders. “I’ll let you guys see what a God of Cooking looks like today.”

“Big Brother, you’re cooking?” Chen Erke asked in surprise.

“That’s right.”

Loosening her arms from Chen Yu’s leg, Chen Erke hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving. “I suddenly don’t feel hungry anymore.”

“Me too,” Chen Sanke said as she vigorously patted her belly and walked away. “I’m so full…”

Chen Yu: “…”
